Chapter 551: Soldiers are coming to the city

Since the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty landed on the territory of the island country, the island country has not had a day of peace. But at this time, the atmosphere of the island country is extraordinarily special.

To the east of Hiroshima Castle, Oda Nobunaga was constantly mobilizing his soldiers, concentrating the most powerful forces he could muster, and rushing towards Hiroshima Castle.

To the west of Hiroshima City, Lu Bu led the army without hurry, slowly cleaning up the cities that had not yet surrendered along the way. It's not that Lu Bu doesn't know the priorities, but he understands better that if he doesn't deal with the troubles behind him, there will definitely be even more troubles in the future.

More importantly, Lu Bu was convinced that he would be able to reach Hiroshima Castle before the island army surrounded it. Even if there was a slight error in timing, it would have been able to encircle the army of the island nation under the walls of Hiroshima Castle.

The Han army led by Lu Bu was originally concentrated in one place. Oda Nobunaga, however, was different, and the soldiers he was going to gather were scattered all over the island. Therefore, even if Lu Bu slowly advanced in the direction of Hiroshima Castle, there was no need to worry about falling behind Oda Nobunaga.

In the end, LĂź Bu led a large army and indeed arrived at Hiroshima Castle before Oda Nobunaga.

When Lu Bu arrived at Hiroshima Castle, the city suddenly became crowded. Moreover, this is the reason why most of the big Han soldiers stayed outside the city.

After all, it is obviously an impractical thing for the 200,000-strong army of the Han to squeeze into Hiroshima Castle in one go.

Moreover, the matter of defending the city does not mean that the more new troops in the city, it will definitely be able to defend it. Defending the city does not necessarily mean defending it, and in the case of an advantageous situation, it is also possible to counterattack appropriately.

Again. It's hard to defend a lonely city.

There are so many soldiers. The best way to do that would be to build a few camps outside the city. In this way, it formed a horn with Hiroshima Castle. In this way, it will be even more difficult for Oda Nobunaga to capture Hiroshima Castle.

When Oda Nobunaga and his army reached a distance of thirty miles from Hiroshima Castle, they stopped their advance. It's not that Oda Nobunaga doesn't want to take Hiroshima Castle, but there is really no way, and Hiroshima Castle now looks like it is not easy to take.

At this time, Hiroshima Castle had a military camp five miles from the north to the south. It is north of Hiroshima Castle. The main force is composed of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao, plus 20,000 foot soldiers. To the south of Hiroshima Castle was the 70,000 Qingzhou soldiers led by Cao Ren.

Hiroshima Castle, along with these two camps, does not have a single bone to gnaw on.

Previously, Oda Nobunaga originally thought that as long as he brought all his soldiers together, he would be able to successfully capture Hiroshima Castle, and then with a great victory, he would completely settle down the island country.

But reality gave Oda Nobunaga a big mouth, and they just arrived in front of Hiroshima Castle when they encountered a problem.

A city. Two barracks. No matter which target Oda Nobunaga chooses to attack, he will inevitably be hit by the other two. So. When he does start attacking, he must have enough soldiers left in case of a surprise attack by the other two targets.

However, even though Oda Nobunaga has gathered all the soldiers who can be gathered, it is only 130,000 soldiers, and even if you add the samurai of the island country, the number will not exceed 150,000.

However, the Han army they needed to face head-on, in addition to the 200,000 who crossed the sea from the Han Dynasty, were more than 10,000 soldiers summoned by the system.

This meant that as long as Oda Nobunaga invested too many soldiers in attacking the chosen targets, the soldiers defending the other two targets would be too weak, and eventually the island army would be surrounded. However, if there are too many soldiers left behind to defend it, the offensive force will not be enough to pose a threat to the target of the attack.

Oda Nobunaga faced a real problem, and it was quite difficult to take Hiroshima Castle. However, if it continues to be consumed like this, Oda Nobunaga's reputation will definitely plummet in the end, and where is it possible to unify the island country?

"General, what are your orders?" When Oda Nobunaga was at a loss, Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to Oda Nobunaga's side and waited for Oda Nobunaga's order.

They had been camping here for more than a day, but Oda Nobunaga had not made any moves except for a few scouts to inquire about information. Therefore, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also found Oda Nobunaga at this time and planned to ask Oda Nobunaga about his plans.

It's just that Oda Nobunaga is worried at this time, what will be planned there? But when I looked up, after seeing that it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I didn't take my anger out on Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"It turned out to be Toyotomi-kun, you came just in time, you can tell me your opinion." Saying that, Oda Nobunaga also pushed all the information in front of him to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw Oda Nobunaga behaving like this, he didn't shirk anything, and just picked up the information and looked at it directly. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's behavior is not unfamiliar, which shows that Oda Nobunaga does have great trust in Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

While Toyotomi Hideyoshi was watching the information, Oda Nobunaga just sat like that, not saying a word, just waiting for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's opinion.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished reading it, he immediately closed his eyes and carefully cleaned up those clues in his mind. The layout of Hiroshima Castle is not destined to be an easy problem to solve. But there is no way to do this, if it is really consumed, they must lose in the end.

After all, at this time, the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty had occupied the western area of Honshu Island, and the navy of the island country had been defeated by the Han Navy, so it was doomed to a stalemate, and the advantage must be on the side of the Han Dynasty's army.

"General, we have no other choice. Instead of continuing to be passive like this, it is better to take a desperate gamble and choose to take the initiative. Toyotomi Hideyoshi said this cautiously after thinking about it carefully.

However, Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction after listening to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words. Every time, when Oda Nobunaga asked Toyotomi Hideyoshi for his opinion, he was always able to say what was in Oda Nobunaga's heart, and then asked Oda Nobunaga to firm up the thoughts in his heart.

After making this decision, the two also planned to go to Hiroshima Castle to see for themselves.

No matter how rich the information they get, they haven't seen it with their own eyes, and they can't understand some situations in time.

The two only took more than 100 people with them, and then rode towards Hiroshima Castle.

And Ye Mo in Hiroshima City also quickly got the news of Oda Nobunaga. A group of more than 100 people dared to come to Hiroshima Castle II, and if those people were not stupid, it means that they must have come for a purpose.

"Wei Wenchang, take people, go out with me to meet those people and see what they have to say." After Ye Mo got the news, he immediately called Wei Yan and went out of the city with two hundred students from the academy.

Before the decisive battle, Ye Mo and Oda Nobunaga will have a decisive meeting. (To be continued.) )
