Shimazu Tadaro watched Sato Shinichio die with his own eyes. ([] Piao Tian Literary registered members recommend this work.) The strange thing is that he did not feel any sadness, as if such a result had been expected by him.
middle.
Since it has failed, it doesn't matter who dies or how many people die.
When will he die? This thought suddenly came to Shimazu Tadayō's mind.
The Shimazu family, Tsurumaru Castle, Satsuma Domain... now, everything has lost any meaning...
At this moment, he became very confused and no longer thought about anything. Even when Tsurumaru Castle would be completely captured by the Ming Dynasty people, he was too lazy to think about it.
Since you are going to die sooner or later, let's die here in a vigorous battle...
The soldiers' shouts of killing and the roar of muskets resounded through Tsurumaru City, and the entire battlefield was wrapped in the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. Here, everyone has only two choices:
Life or death!
Shimazu Tadaro continued to drive the soldiers to launch counterattacks, although he knew very clearly that this was meaningless. But no matter what, as long as he was alive, he would never allow him to watch Tsurumaru Castle.
Fall...
This is my mission in this life...
There was a sound of "plop"... something fell at Shimazu Tadaro's feet... Shimazu Tadaro looked down and saw that it was a Japanese head...
..My eyes are wide open, and it seems that I still don’t close my eyes until now...
Shimazu Tadayaro smiled miserably. Rest in peace, people of Japan, I will come to you soon...
He looked up and saw a group of ronai holding samurai swords rushing forward. But soon, a large number of soldiers wearing strange clothes appeared in the opponent's formation, and then. Amidst the cheerful roar of muskets,
All these ronin are dead...
Despair, Shimazu Tadayō now completely understands the meaning of the word despair.
Tsurumaru Castle also has muskets, but they cannot compare with the enemy's in terms of quality and quantity...
What Shimazu Tadaro didn't quite understand was that there was a period when Japanese firearms were vigorously developed there. But why did the general order a ban?
If the general's family could come here to take a look, they would know that the time for swords and guns will soon be over, and then muskets will become the masters of this battlefield... It is a pity that Shimazu
Zhonglang didn't have this chance, and it was too late for him to understand this truth...
"Lord Zhonglang, the enemy has entered the city in large numbers and we can no longer withstand it!"
The eager report of his subordinates did not affect Shimazu Tadayaro. He just calmed down: "For the Shimazu family, a large number of soldiers rushed towards this group of Japanese pirates, and then surrounded them...
..
It was a horrific massacre...
The Japanese bandits fell one after another. In front of this group of the most elite Ming soldiers, they had no ability to resist...
Shi Weide and Mansura also discovered this situation. Dozens of musketeers quickly appeared around Ding Yunyi, vigilantly monitoring everything around them with their muskets.
For Shi Weide and Mansoura, Ding Yunyi is their boss. Once Ding Yunyi makes any mistake, their employees will lose their jobs.
The airtight defenses around him made Ding Yunyi feel a little helpless. He had always taken the lead in conflicts, but now he actually needed others to protect him?
He kept cursing the damn Miyamoto Musashi in his heart. If it weren't for this bullshit "Sword Master", he would be fighting with these brave soldiers now...
The samurai around Shimazu Tadaro fell one after another. Soon, Shimazu Tadaro was the only one left on the huge battlefield...and around him, there were hundreds of people with smiles on their faces.
Looking at the contemptuous Ming army soldiers...
"For the Shimazu family!" Shimazu Tadayaro gave his last call. Then, he raised the katana in his hand and rushed towards these enemies.
What greeted him were countless swords and guns, and the angry roars of the Ming soldiers...
Ben Xiao slowly walked over carrying his master, and then stopped in front of the corpse whose appearance was completely unrecognizable...
Ding Yunyi stared coldly at the corpse on the ground...
In fact, at this time, he was also a little shocked. He never thought that the combat effectiveness of his Tiger Guards had reached such a powerful level.
Only half a day has passed since the official launch of the general offensive. Half a day, only half a day, he and the soldiers of the Tiger Guard have already entered Tsurumaru Castle!
Is it that the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards has reached an astonishing level, or that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese pirates is far lower than what he imagined?
Maybe, it's a combination of both...
There are fewer and fewer Japanese pirates on the battlefield, but more and more Ming troops are rushing in. The balance of the entire battle has completely tilted towards the side of Huben Wei.
Once this place falls into Ding Yunyi's hands, everything else will be easy to solve.
The Battle of Satsuma Domain will soon end...
...
Music was playing there, but Shimazu Mitsuhisa's mind didn't seem to be on that.
He could faintly hear shouts of killing. Although he didn't know how the battle was progressing, he knew that the situation in Tsurumaru City was already very dangerous.
But so what? I have tried my best.
The general's reinforcements can't wait. Shangchuan Lake? I'm afraid his reinforcements won't be able to get here in time. The only thing he can do now is to enjoy this last happy time.
His wife, Sandaiko, was sitting next to him. She glanced at her husband quietly and wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
"What do you want to ask me?" Shimazu Mitsuhisa noticed the change in his wife's expression. He waved Kabuki to step back and then asked.
"Sir, can Tsurumaru Castle be defended?" Sandaiko asked cautiously.
"According to the current situation, it is impossible to defend." Shimazu Mitsuhisa did not want to deceive his wife: "The enemy is very fierce. They have a huge advantage. If there are no reinforcements, they will soon appear in front of us.
Those fierce enemies..."
Sandaiko's body trembled... Her face turned a little pale, and then she mustered up her courage and said, "Sir, should we make some preparations?"
"Preparation? What kind of preparation?" Shimazu Mitsuhisa asked numbly.
Sandaizi whispered: "We have a pair of children, Bin Xing and Matsuko. They, they should not be involved in this terrible thing. Sir, I implore you to arrange them in a safe place..."
These words immediately reminded Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who was silent for a while: "Go and call Mr. Bin Xing, Song Zi, and Oiwa."
After waiting there for a while, Binxing, Matsuko and their teacher Oiwa Torimi came in. They also knew the current bad situation in Tsurumaru City, and no one said anything while they stood there.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa broke the embarrassing silence: "Tsurumaru Castle can no longer hold on..."
"Father, let me fight with you!" fifteen-year-old Shimazu Binxing said loudly.
"You are very brave, very brave." Mitsuhisa Shimazu was very pleased with his son's performance: "But now is not the time for you to fight. You must live well and avenge our Shimazu family."
Shimazu Binxing was not reconciled, but he had to obey his father's words.
"As for you, Mr. Oiwa." Shimazu Mitsuhisa turned his gaze to Oiwa Torimi: "As Inuko's teacher, I would like to trouble you to take Binxing and Matsuko out of here and temporarily find a safe place to hide.
, when all these terrible disasters are over, please take my children with you to the general's house, and ask the general to avenge us."
Until now, Shimazu Mitsuhisa still doesn't know that the Shogun's family has abandoned their Shimazu family...
"Master Governor, please leave with us!" Oiwatori said in a voiceless voice: "You are the daimyo of the Satsuma Domain and the Governor of the Shimazu family. You cannot do anything other than that! I cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.
!”
"You must shoulder this responsibility!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu suddenly raised his voice: "This is my expectation for you, and this is also the expectation of the Shimadzu family for you. We can fail, but we must never give up hope.
."
Oiwatori knew that the governor had made up his mind, so he remained silent and nodded silently...
"Go, go." Shimazu Mitsuhisa waved his hand and drove his children and Oiwa Torimi out. He saw that his children left in tears.
He sighed and looked at his wife: "What about you? You can leave too."
"I won't leave." Sandaizi shook his head stubbornly: "I am your wife. As a wife, I will be with you whether we live or die."
"Then that's it." Shimazu Mitsuhisa held his wife's hand.
This is a sad day, this is the most desperate day for the Shimazu family. Outside, the Ming army of the brigade is launching successive attacks, but here, I can't do anything.
The only thing he can do now is to sit here and wait for the Ming army to arrive. And then? Should he choose to surrender, or should he choose to fight with them and shed the last drop of blood for the Shimazu family?
Shimazu Mitsuhisa didn't know, he had no way of knowing what choice he would make when faced with this moment.
Why did the Shimazu family suffer such a fate? Mitsuhisa Shimazu never understood this.
Why did the people of the Ming Dynasty suddenly launch a large-scale attack? Maybe Shimazu Mitsuhisa will never understand it in his lifetime!
