    Sakurajima, Day Camp.

    Li Dingguo felt a little irritated. He had besieged Tsurumaru City for almost a month, but no reinforcements came to rescue him.

    The tactic of besieging the city and fighting for aid has completely become a joke.

    The shogunate did not intend to gather troops to rescue the Satsuma domain, and the small lords within the Satsuma domain did not intend to send troops to rescue their family governor.  Originally sending troops to Japan, but now sending troops to Tsurumaru Castle, it cannot even be said to be fighting the entire Satsuma Domain.

    ? All parties stood still. Apart from the fear of angering China, there is another very important reason, that is, the military discipline of the Datong Army is really good.

    There was no burning, killing, looting, or looting of shops, but only besieging Tsurumaru City.

    This made Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's brothers very happy. They wished that the Datong Army would break through the city as soon as possible. Not only would they have the opportunity to succeed the family governor, but they could also receive the complete Tsurumaru Castle and the castle town.

    Thirty miles east of Tsurumaru Castle, there is also Kirishima Jingu, the legendary place where the grandson descended.

    Tiansun is the grandson of Amaterasu, the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu, the eight-foot mirror and the Kusanagi sword, who were brought down from the sky by this grandson.

    Such an important shrine, the Datong Army didn't even touch it¡ªmainly because they were too lazy to climb the mountain.

    This approach also made the Japanese shogunate and various princes feel the strong goodwill of the Chinese army.

    Since the shrine will not be demolished, since the shrine will not be burned, killed and looted, then the city will be besieged, and the lord of the Satsuma domain will be replaced.

    "My lord, don't worry," Miyazaki Shiro said. "The princes of the Satsuma domain have been frightened and dare not lead the rescue. We can attack the city with all our strength. If the general cares about the casualties, I am willing to call the civilians to help. As long as the general gives more  Some food, at least thousands of people are willing to die for the general!"

    Guitou Forty-eight said: "Even if you fill it with the flesh and blood of ordinary people, you can fill up the stone wall outside the city!"

    Hearing the heartfelt words of these two wild warriors, Li Dingguo felt a little nonsense.  Obviously they brought their own troops to kill them, but the local people are willing to help attack the city, and they can make them desperate if they are given some food.

    Since there is no way to call for help, there is no need to delay.

    Li Dingguo said to the two: "Go and recruit 3,000 people as soldiers. Each person will be able to eat enough every day, and you can get an extra five catties of rice. In addition, the porridge shed that helps the poor will no longer give porridge from today."

    Miyazaki Shiro said: "My lord, please promise that after the Tsurumaru Castle is captured, the Shimadzu Family Governor must be executed, otherwise the people will not dare to apply for the attack."

    "Yes." Li Dingguo said with a smile.

    Miyazaki Shiro and Kitou Forty-eight did not go to conscript immediately, but spread the news with wild warriors: Mitsuhisa Shimadzu heard that the people had traded with Tang Bing, and was already furious, and decided to liquidate after the war, and all those who had sold things to Tang Bing  to be executed.

    A few days later, rumors were flying all over the sky, and the people around Tsurumaru City were panicked.

    Because of such outrageous rumors, the Japanese feudal lords can really do it.  In order to suppress the uprising of the people, even after the insurgents surrendered, they would kill them all, including the old and weak, women and children.

    On the one hand, he can eat enough every day and receive an extra five catties of rice; on the other hand, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu may take revenge afterwards.  Under the dual effects of temptation and fear, more than 2,000 civilians actually joined the army to help the Chinese army attack Tsurumaru Castle.

    Inside Tsurumaru Castle.

    Shimadzu Tadaro, Shimadzu Hisaichi and others are having a meeting to conspire, discussing how to tie up the family governor and surrender in Kaesong.

    Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

    Tadaro Shimadzu looked terrified, pulled out his samurai sword and went out to check, but saw Hisamitsu Shimadzu leading troops to kill him.

    "Brother, what are you doing?" Shimadzu Tadaro asked.

    Shimadzu Hisamitsu sneered: "Are you going to take the plunge? I already knew you were ambitious!"

    Tadaro Shimadzu said: "Brother, you misunderstood, we are discussing how to defend the city."

    "Hiding in the house to discuss?" Shimadzu Hisamitsu shouted, "Kill them both, and I will forget about your crimes!"

    The Tokugawa shogunate gathered feudal lords from all over the country to live in Edo.

    The feudal lords from all over the country also forced samurai groups and industrial and commercial people to live in the castle town.

    Therefore, although there were only two thousand troops in Tsurumaru Castle, there were hundreds of warriors who withdrew in.  At this moment, there are more than 20 samurai plotting rebellion in the room, and Shimadzu Hisamitsu led troops to block him.

    The samurai looked at each other, and began to be unable to withstand the threat of the house governor. Hearing that they could think about their crimes, they quickly made a subconscious choice.

    "Clang clang!"

    Pulling out the samurai swords one by one, he rushed towards Shimadzu Tadaro and Shimadzu Hisunichi, chopping them into mud with random knives.

    Immediately turned around and knelt down, and kowtowed to Mitsuhisa Shimadzu:?Samurai killed 2 people and injured 13 people; civilians killed 93 people and injured 587 people.

    Datong soldiers, 9 people were killed and 21 were injured, and all the dead died from muskets.

    Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was also counting the casualties. Because many soldiers did not retreat in time, they were chased and killed by the Datong army who boarded the stone wall. The loss of the Satsuma garrison reached 438.  The so-called loss means that they failed to withdraw and were either killed or captured.

    Seeing that the Datong Army commanded the civilians, reinforced the fortifications at the stone walls, and even built internal forts, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu suddenly became angry and roared: "Fire and kill them!

    The city walls of Demaru also have forts, and the firepower of the Satsuma domain is extremely powerful.

    In other words, the Satsuma clan, who has been playing sea trade for a long time, has a large number of guns and artillery.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The civilians who were strengthening the fortifications were soon defeated by artillery in several places.

    Li Dingguo had a headache again. He had successfully climbed the mountain and occupied the stone wall, but how to fight the next three walls?

    Of course, the builders of Tsurumaru Castle couldn't be stupid, and it will always be more beneficial for the defender.  In Ishigaki and Demaru's artillery bombardment, the direction of Ishigaki can only be beaten, and there is no fire support at the foot of the mountain.

    This is a mountain city. Although it is not as dangerous as Diaoyu City, Li Dingguo also understands the mood of Mengge Khan back then.
