Chapter 557: Obtaining Intelligence
After Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated Wei Yan, the lieutenants around him immediately greeted him one by one flatteringly. Looking at the appearance of those generals, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face was undisguised.
It's not just that Toyotomi Hideyoshi doesn't have a good face for those generals, but even the soldiers under Toyotomi Hideyoshi don't look down on those generals. There is no way to do this, and those soldiers have been following Toyotomi Hideyoshi after being summoned by Oda Nobunaga.
It can be said that among all the soldiers in the island country, they are the most elite. Compared with Oda Nobunaga's personal soldiers, they are not inferior at all, and even with the same weapons and the same number, they are invincible in the island country.
It is precisely because of this that they have such arrogance. However, they do have arrogant capital.
Defeating Wei Yan this time, in the eyes of their soldiers, was nothing more than an ordinary battle. After all, when they followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi across Kyushu Island, what kind of battle was not fought?
At the beginning, they were only 5,000 soldiers, but they put down a rebellion in the land of an island. Moreover, Kyushu Island was also the island with the most serious rebellion among the island countries at that time, and it was also the place where the rebellion was initiated.
The lieutenants around Toyotomi Hideyoshi were also a little angry after feeling the white eyes around them. But there is no way, now Toyotomi Hideyoshi is an important minister next to Oda Nobunaga, even if they throw their faces again, then they can only bear it alive. The situation is stronger than people, so what can be done?
It's just that after Wei Yan and them retreated, after those defeated soldiers returned to the city. Ye Mo led an army of 20,000 from Hiroshima City to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and them.
The first time Ye Mo left the city. Toyotomi Hideyoshi: They also got the news. Originally, there were still some generals in the army of the island country who were frightened. I thought that Hiroshima Castle was going to send a large army out to encircle and suppress them. All of a sudden, everyone trembled.
However, when they knew that 20,000 people had come out of Hiroshima Castle, they almost rolled on the ground without laughing. They had just defeated the 20,000 soldiers led by Wei Yan, and now Hiroshima Castle had sent another 20,000 soldiers, wasn't this deliberately looking for death?
Those lieutenants felt that Ye Mo was looking for death, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not have any intention of underestimating the enemy.
Even though Toyotomi Hideyoshi was an undercover agent sent by Ye Mo to Oda Nobunaga's side, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had his own pride. He wouldn't be because Wei Yan was Ye Mo's subordinate. When he was fighting with Wei Yan, he showed mercy to his subordinates. Although, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did show mercy.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't know who was leading the troops in Hiroshima Castle this time, but the fact that the other party could only lead 20,000 soldiers to battle after knowing that Wei Yan had failed, that means that the other party must be sure of victory. Even if not, then the other party must have full confidence.
Although he understands that the other party must be prepared, Toyotomi Hideyoshi thinks that his ability is not bad. Especially his nearly 4,000 personal soldiers, they are the elite of the elite, giving Toyotomi Hideyoshi infinite confidence.
Just when the army of island countries led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi focused on Ye Mo and them, Wei Yan and them bypassed Hiroshima Castle. I took another more difficult road and headed towards Beiying.
By the time Wei Yan and the others arrived at the outskirts of the North Camp, Oda Nobunaga had already left the North Camp with a large army. The soldiers in the northern camp. At this time, they were cleaning up the mess, and they didn't notice that on their side, such a team of more than 2,000 people actually appeared.
Moreover, after Wei Yan and the others arrived, they did not immediately go to the north camp to find Zhang Liao and them. After all, there was no shortage of their two thousand defenders in the northern camp.
However, if Wei Yan leads people to kill after they fight, then Wei Yan's role will be much greater. The most important thing is that Wei Yan knew that Zhang Liao would bring the wolf cavalry outside the North Camp at the beginning, and it was definitely not just because killing from outside the North Camp would cause greater damage to the enemy.
The firepower of the North Camp is not just that there are dozens of artillery pieces in the North Camp. On the periphery of the North Camp, there is an artillery position, and this artillery position is where Ye Mo's real confidence lies.
Oda Nobunaga saw Zhang Liao kill from this place at that time, and he only thought about the ambush here, but he didn't think about anything else. Therefore, although after Zhang Liao and the others left, this artillery position was not guarded by anyone, and as long as the soldiers of the island country found out, they could cover the entire northern camp, Oda Nobunaga still did not send anyone to check it out.
If Zhang Liao did not lead people to kill from here in the first battle of Beiying, then Oda Nobunaga would naturally find a way to occupy this small hill. After all, having the advantage of a slope is a great advantage in the era of cold weapons, and even at the beginning of the era of hot weapons.
But now this hill is uncared for, which is like a hole card that has been opened, and others know that you have a king, then this king has lost a large part of his role.
When Ye Mo met with the army led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it was already the time of the sunset. At this time, even if the number of soldiers brought by Ye Mo was less than 10,000, it was impossible for the two sides to fight.
After all, after a while, it will be a black light. When the time comes, people can't tell the difference, how can they fight?
Therefore, when they meet at this time, both sides know that it is just nagging with each other, or it is just a meeting that distracts the other party's military morale.
When Ye Mo met Toyotomi Hideyoshi in front of the military formation, the two were hostile, just like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. If there is a tea party between the two of them, plus two cups of tea, then the two are really like two old friends.
"Ye Mojun, it's good that you only arrived at this time. If it's a few hours early, then you should have returned to Hiroshima Castle with your subordinate. Although there was no stinky face between the two parties, what they said was very offensive.
After listening to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words, Ye Mo didn't have any anger. "Toyotomi-kun, are you so sure that the people you defeated before have now gone back in disgrace?"
Regarding Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words, Ye Mo didn't care about it at this time. It's just to dissipate the other party's military morale, and Ye Mo is still more confident in this.
As for Ye Mo's words, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also had no reaction at all. Whether Wei Yan really fled back to Hiroshima City, Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't care at all, anyway, he didn't escape from his defense line, so naturally he loved whoever he loved.
"Ye Mojun, you just brought 20,000 soldiers, are you really sure to break through the defense line of my 50,000 army?" The two just said two words, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi directly revealed the number of their soldiers. You must know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's defensive soldiers are not just standing there for the rest of the number, and naturally the number will not be exposed.
However, with such a slip of the tongue, Toyotomi Hideyoshi told Ye Mo how many soldiers Oda Nobunaga brought to besiege the northern camp on the periphery of the northern camp, and how long the soldiers of the northern camp could hold out.
Ye Mo also nodded when he listened to this bit of information that Toyotomi Hideyoshi inadvertently revealed. Only 100,000 soldiers are besieging, and it seems that the soldiers of the northern camp can still hold on for a while, so there is no hurry.
"Then do you know that in just one day, you will be attacked by the soldiers of Hiroshima Castle and Nanying, are you sure that you will be able to hold on?" At this time, Ye Mo was still hitting the morale of the other party, after all, Ye Mo did not need to reveal any information to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
"If you can hold it or not, then we will have a good fight tomorrow. However, Ye Mojun must sleep well tonight. "The matter has been clarified, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is too lazy to continue pretending. In case you put it down again, it's time to show the stuffing.
"The same goes for you."
Both of them smiled and left some harsh words, and then dispersed. It's just that it's hard to say who will not be able to sleep at night. (To be continued.) )
