Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh broken city
The Ming army in large groups is launching the most ferocious offensive towards Tsurumaru Castle.
The hole in the city wall has been opened!
The final decisive battle finally broke out here.
Under the continuous artillery attacks for several days, the Japanese in Tsurumaru Castle suffered the most severe blow to their confidence, especially the death of Miyamoto Musashi, which had planted the seeds of fear in their hearts.
Now, they must face the coming terrible scene...
No one knows all this better than Shimazu Mitsuhisa. But now his only choice is to fight to the end. For the Satsuma clan daimyo, he has no way out...
Commanding the battle at the forefront is Tadaro Shimazu, the most trusted member of Mitsuhisa Shimazu and the bravest of the Shimadzu family. Although the Diaoye Bushi commanded by Taduro Shimazu suffered a complete defeat, now he can only continue to fight unconditionally.
Trust him, Shimazu Mitsuhisa doesn’t have any suitable candidates...
But what about Shangchuan Lake? Where is Shangchuan Lake now?
No one can answer Shimazu Mitsuhisa's question...
Shimazu Tadayō, who was commanding the battle to defend the city from the tower, was also having a hard time.
The sharp artillery fire of the Ming army has blasted Tsurumaru Castle full of holes. Tsurumaru Castle needs defense everywhere and manpower is needed everywhere... Shimadzu Tadayō is stretched thin with troops and cannot defend the entire defense line.
Putting on a decisive battle stance...
The Japanese are almost risking their lives to defend this place. Wherever there is danger, countless Japanese will be driven there willingly or unwillingly. Then, under the successive attacks of the Ming army, Tsurumaru Castle increased
It's countless corpses...
Shimazu Tadayō was powerless. He could only watch his men die and watch large numbers of Japanese die on this terrible battlefield.
There are no signs of collapse yet, but God knows how long this situation will last...
Looking from here to there, everything is dark. They are all the soldiers of the Tiger Guard. The war flags of the Ming Dynasty are fluttering in the wind against the smoke of artillery fire. They seem to be declaring the determination of the Ming Dynasty here. Tell every Japanese here.
:
Daming - is coming!
The officers of the Tiger Guards calmly commanded their soldiers to attack Tsurumaru Castle in waves, fiercely but orderly.
The Ming army's attack direction was placed on several gaps that appeared under the devastation of artillery fire, and the Japanese also gathered heavy troops here. The two sides fought repeatedly in these places. Everyone hoped to be able to defeat them in the shortest possible time.
Decide the winner.
The soldiers of the Ming army who rushed up first used muskets to bombard them not far away, killing as many Japanese pirates as possible. Then, soldiers holding shields and sabers swarmed up.
The gap was repeatedly fought for. There were also a large number of Ming soldiers who began to use ladders to directly launch a battle to seize the tower...
Ladders were set up one after another, and the soldiers, holding their shields high, climbed up the city wall risklessly under the cover of their companions.
A Tiger Guard soldier was knocked down. But soon, his brother continued to climb up the ladder bravely... As long as Tsurumaru Castle has not fallen into his hands, the battle will never stop!
The sound of horns, strange screams, and miserable cries continued to sound inside and outside Tsurumaru Castle. If the killing and bloodshed had not completely destroyed the Japanese, the continuous sounds were a great stimulus to the Japanese.
.....
Death may not be able to intimidate soldiers on the battlefield, but wounded soldiers bring about a different situation. This is especially true for the side that is far at a disadvantage...
A Japanese man whose leg was blown off was wailing in pain in a pool of blood. He stretched out his hand to beg his companions for help, but those companions fled away in horror and fear.
What this wounded soldier wants to do most now is to die quickly to relieve his tremendous pain, but he has no way to do it. He still has to endure such torture.
After a long, long time, he finally breathed his last breath.
His body was covered in blood and dirt, and was extremely filthy. This made every Japanese pirate who saw his body feel a thrilling feeling...
Several Ming soldiers finally climbed onto the city tower, but they were quickly surrounded by Japanese bandits. These Ming soldiers set up a small defensive circle, leaning against the city tower, and tried their best to block the Japanese bandits' counterattack.
.
They must stay here until the brothers come up...
When the Huben Guard soldiers below the city saw that their brothers had climbed up and were being attacked by Japanese pirates, their eyes turned red and their roars became louder...
Attack it! Attack it! There, your brothers are fighting bloody battles!
Several more soldiers from the Ming Dynasty climbed up. At the moment when the first batch of soldiers who climbed onto the tower fell gloriously, their companions took over the fighting position.
The blood of these fallen soldiers was not shed in vain...
The battle is going on on the city tower, and there is also a battle under the city wall!
Everyone is fighting, and all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are using their loyalty and bravery to win this battle. The flags of the Ming Dynasty are the source of courage that inspires them to move forward!
Corpses filled Tsurumaru City, and the air was filled with the frightening smell of blood.
A war always ends with the accumulation of blood and lives of countless people...
When victory comes, only people remember the merits of the living, but they will gradually forget what the victims have paid for this victory...
This is what war is made of...
More and more soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are boarding up, and the gaps are gradually widening... The balance of victory has quietly begun to tilt towards the side of the Ming Dynasty...
Shimazu Tadaro already knows that the situation is irreversible, and the only thing he has to do now is to prevent the fall of Tsurumaru Castle as much as possible. The sinner of the Shimazu family must not be himself!
After the ambush tactics in Diaoye failed, and when Mitsuhisa Shimazu did not blame himself for this, but instead entrusted himself with such an important task of defending the city, Tadayo Shimazu had already made the determination to die.
Standing next to him is Sato Shinichio of Kashima Shinto-ryu.
The news of the death of his brother Sato Kobei came much later. It is said that Sato Kobei's whole body was beaten into a sieve. However, he failed to fulfill his promise:
Use your own strength to stop the Ming army's advance!
On the contrary, the Ming army's advance accelerated...
Sato Shinichiro firmly did not believe this. He firmly believed that his brother must have suffered from the despicable conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty people, otherwise it would be impossible for his brother to fail based on his ability.
He wants to use his own blood to wash away the shame of the Sato family; he wants to avenge his brother for his own life!
He actually doesn't care whether he can hold Tsurumaru Castle, the only thing he cares about is to show the style of Kashima Shinto-ryu here. But now, such an opportunity is getting closer and closer.
The enemies are swarming to attack Tsurumaru Castle. Looking from here, it is difficult to hold on to Tsurumaru Castle. A large number of Japanese are dying rapidly...
Shinichio Sato, who was holding a knife in his arms, said nothing and just looked at the battlefield with squinted eyes.
A master should always be able to survive under any circumstances without losing his temper.
"Nobu Kazuo, it's almost time for us to attack..." Shimazu Tadayaro sighed softly.
"When we attacked, even the sky was filled with blood..." Shinichio Sato's words were a bit like a poet. He seemed not to care about the battle situation in front of him at all: "The fighting
The trumpet has sounded, brave people of Amaterasu. This will be the best place for us to be martyred... Shimazu Tadaro slightly understood the meaning of his words.
But to be honest, he doesn't have much hope...
He cheered up: "Nobuichio, work hard, don't forget how terrible Ding Yunyi is... This name made Sato Shinichio's body tremble involuntarily, but he quickly returned to normal: "Ming Dynasty people.
Except for Ding Yunyi, there is no one worthy of my fear. Even if Ding Yunyi appears here in person, I will definitely use my bravery to let him know our fearlessness... Sato Shinichio's wish will soon be realized
Of course, it was not Ding Yunyi who appeared in front of him, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
More and more Ming soldiers boarded the tower, and more and more Ming soldiers poured in from the gap...
The Japanese could no longer block the enemy's entry.
Thousands of Japanese fell down, with desperate cries emanating from their throats, and their bodies helplessly squirmed in a pool of blood. No power could save them, no power anymore...
...
When a huge battle flag appeared on the Tsurumaru Castle Tower, cheers broke out in the Ming army camp.
Huangfu Yunjie, who temporarily replaced Ding Yunyi in commanding the battle, took a deep breath and slowly raised his sword forward:
"The whole army - enter the city!"
This is the most exciting moment. At this moment, the gate to Tsurumaru City has been opened, and the road to capture Tsurumaru City has also been completely opened. Now waiting for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, there are only two words:
victory!
The generals of the Ming army swept towards Tsurumaru City like a tide. The cheers and cheers of the Ming soldiers were heard everywhere on the battlefield. Flying everywhere on the battlefield were battle flags representing determination and courage!
"For Japan, for the Shimadzu family, fight to the death!" Shimazu Tadaro finally said these words.
Shinichi Sato slowly stood up and slowly drew out his katana.
For Japan, for the Shimadzu family, and even more for the honor of Kashima Shinto-ryu...
He walked forward step by step. He had no specific goal. He only knew where there were the most enemies and that was where he should go.
There is no third option for your own life or the life of your enemy...
He didn't know how his brother died, but it didn't matter to him. He only knew that the soldiers in front of him were definitely no match for Kashima Shinto-ryu.
He saw a dozen Ming army soldiers appearing in front of him, with a ferocious smile on his face. He vowed to use these soldiers to avenge his brother first!
The man and the sword merge into one, and the sword appears as nine shadows!
Although Kashima's new swordsmanship is not as thorough as his elder brother's, it is more than enough to deal with these little soldiers. He even thinks that it is killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!
The soldiers of the Ming army saw a Japanese bandit walking towards them step by step with a long samurai sword. They quickly dodged away and the musketeers appeared behind them.
The expression on Sato Shinichi's face changed. He still knew the power of the musket very well. This was the biggest difference between him and Sato Kobei.
He must deal with these enemies before the musketeers finish shooting!
Sato Shinichio let out a strange scream, and then rushed forward with a samurai sword. However, there were some things he didn't know. The muskets used by the Ming army were different from those used by the Japanese.
These muskets fired faster, faster than Shinichio Sato's imagination... After several loud bangs, Shinichio Sato, who was charging, felt pain in his body, and then he knelt down on one leg.
on the ground.
What is this? Why is it launched so fast?
Shinichio Sato tried his best not to fall down, but tried to get up, but failed. Then, he saw the scene he least wanted to see: the enemy was slowly walking towards him.
Slowly, not fast at all. What do these enemies look like? Sato Shinichio thought for a long time, and then suddenly understood:
The enemy is like a group of cats, and you are just a mouse with no way to escape.
Cat plays with mouse.
More than a dozen Ming soldiers came over, surrounded him in a circle, and then raised their swords and guns.
These Ming soldiers were very surprised. Why did this Japanese pirate have such courage to face so many soldiers by himself?
Do all Japanese pirates have such intelligence?
The sword and gun fell...
Sato Shinichio was chopped alive into a pulp. At least before he died, he knew how his brother died. When he went to hell, he and his brother could carefully discuss the union of man and knife.
The profound theory of Dao Phantom Nine Shadows...
At this point, Kashima Shinto-ryu, one of the Japanese kendo schools, was exterminated with the deaths of the Sato brothers.
Not only is Kashima Shinto-ryu, the end of Tsurumaru Castle has also come!
