All forces from islands & with the help of Shogun, they attack Mongols and defeat them. Now the Mongolian army is stuck in the main area of the castle but too many Samurai are already killed. Jin refused to listen to his uncle and ask everyone to poison the Mongols because more fight means they will lose too many people again.

Jin is able to infiltrate the castle and use poison against Mongols to kill them. Now they captured the castle without losing any more people, but his uncle felt its a big mistake to kill Mongols using poison not fight.
