Chapter 538: The city is difficult to defend

When Cao Ang heard Ye Mo say that he would take him to Hiroshima City, he didn't care about the other Qingzhou Army generals at all. Cao Hong, under the pretext of taking care of Cao Ang for Cao Cao, went on the road with Cao Ang.

However, for the other Qingzhou Army generals, Ye Mo also said a few words to Lu Bu.

In the case that Ye Mo was about to rush to Hiroshima City again, Lu Bu needed to quickly knock down the west of Hiroshima City, which was not a simple matter. But with the help of the Qingzhou Army, then things will be much simpler.

Ye Mo and his party, Cao Ang and Cao Hong led 20,000 elite Qingzhou troops, and Zhang Liao led 3,000 Bingzhou wolf horsemen, marching quickly towards Hiroshima City.

Along the way, most of the sergeants and pawns in the small cities of those island countries were deceived by Ye Moyu, so when they saw Ye Mo and they couldn't hide, they naturally wouldn't come out to stop Ye Mo and them. Therefore, Ye Mo and their journey was also extremely smooth.

In Hiroshima City, Wei Yan and Fa Zheng, who were left behind by Ye Mo, were in an extremely heavy mood. According to the scouts they sent out, the army of the island nation had begun to assemble at this time, and it seemed that they knew the news of the fall of Hiroshima Castle and had the intention of attacking Hiroshima Castle on a large scale.

How many defenders are there in Hiroshima Castle today? When Ye Mo captured Hiroshima City, he only brought 5,000 soldiers, and when he captured the city, he killed and wounded some of them, and then took more than 1,000 soldiers, leaving only 3,000 soldiers.

If it is a small city, then 3,000 soldiers to defend the city is indeed enough. However, Hiroshima Castle was a large city, and even if the soldiers were to stand on the four walls, it would take about 1,600 men. Besides, defending a city can be a physical task. If there are only two shifts. It's better to rush out of the city and fight the enemy to the death. It's more heroic.

"Filial piety, what can you do? If we let the soldiers of the island country come to attack the city, we won't be able to stand it for long. At this time, even Wei Yan couldn't stop frowning.

Wei Yan in the previous life, he didn't know where to learn his skills, what he was good at was attacking, and he paid attention to attacking by surprise. Wei Yan in this life was trained by Ye Mo to specialize in special operations with small forces. I am even more unfamiliar with defending the city.

It's the law, and he has been guarding a few checkpoints a few times. At this time, Wei Yan naturally could only rely on Fa Zheng to defend the city.

Fa Zheng saw that Wei Yan had no idea in his heart at this time, and he was extremely anxious in his heart. When the Han Dynasty first came out to mix, Fa Zheng didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, but he also had some real talents, so he defeated Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song once.

But after that, Fa Zheng didn't have any achievements that were too good, except for guarding a few passes under Ye Mo's subordinates.

"General Wenchang. This defense of the city is also exquisite. In the first place, the people of this city are not turned against us. Not only do we have to guard against the enemies outside the city, but we also need to guard against the people inside the city. Secondly, there are not enough soldiers in the city to defend the city, and it is difficult to hold on for a long time. "Fa Zheng is also suffering from a bitter face at this time, the difficulty of defending the city, who knows who is guarding it.

Although Wei Yan never defended the city, he did fight anyway. Especially for a general like Wei Yan who is good at attacking, when attacking the city, it is even more necessary to attack the enemy's weakness, so that he can complete the goal with the minimum cost.

"Since I can't hold it, then I'll just take the soldiers out now. While the enemy has not yet been combined, he may be able to achieve a good result. When Wei Yan saw that Fa Zheng said that there were so many difficulties in defending the city, he was immediately anxious, and he really wanted to take all the soldiers in the city out.

Seeing Wei Yan like this, Fa Zheng looked even more bitter. "The lord handed over Hiroshima Castle to you and me at that time, but we didn't let us hand it over to others like this."

"What's there, since the lord can seize the first time, he will naturally be able to seize the second time. Now, let's go out and kill thousands of his enemy troops first, and when the lord comes, then kill tens of thousands of enemy troops, and this Hiroshima Castle will be taken again! Wei Yan also realized his mistake, but at this time, Wei Yan still didn't want to change it, and said strongly.

When Wei Yan said this, Fa Zheng couldn't hear that he meant it. Immediately, Fa Zheng also shook his head, and no longer talked to Wei Yan about this, but he looked at the news from the scout in front of him, thinking about how to defend the city as much as possible.

Ye Mo will also return to Hiroshima City, whether it is Fa Zheng or Wei Yan, this is extremely certain in their hearts,

However, what cannot be confirmed now is when Ye Mo will bring people to Hiroshima City.

Regardless of whether Ye Mo will come to Hiroshima City first with some of his soldiers, or gather all the soldiers, and slowly advance to Hiroshima City one city after another, this is a possible thing.

How difficult is it to hold Hiroshima Castle? The only advantage of defending the city now is that when Ye Mo and the others captured the city, they almost killed all the big clans in the city. In this way, Fazheng and they don't have to worry that someone will organize the people in the city to cooperate with the enemy army outside the city.

There may still be people from the island country who will wreak havoc in the city, but they don't have the influence of those big clans, so it is doomed that their sabotage will not cause much damage to the city's defenses.

But in the same way, it is impossible to defend the city with the support of the people in the city. Especially Wei Yan and they burned a granary before, so that if Wei Yan wants to defend the city now, they must collect grain from the people, which makes the people in the city have no good impression of Wei Yan and them.

"General Wenchang, if you can get the people in the city to help us defend the city, maybe it won't be a problem for us to defend it for a month or two." Looking at the information in his hand, Fa Zheng suddenly thought of something, and said to Wei Yan is suddenly.

After Wei Yan heard Fa Zheng say this, he originally wanted to laugh at Fa Zheng. However, Wei Yan's words of laughing at Fa Zheng had not yet been spoken, but he was stunned.

It seems that Fazheng's suggestion can really be implemented.

When Ye Mo left, he used the news of the prince of the island country to make many of the island soldiers in the city give up their thoughts of resistance. Although, when Ye Mo brought up the news, those soldiers were all surrounded.

But no matter what, since Ye Mo was able to take advantage of this news, why couldn't they? Especially Abe's uncle and nephew went to find the prince of the island country with Ye Mo, and it is not false news.

With an idea, Wei Yan did not delay, when even some martial arts students who spoke the island Chinese language well gathered in one place, let them dress up as ordinary people, and hyped the news that the island prince was persecuted by Oda Nobunaga in the city, and at the same time faintly proposed that Abe's uncle and nephew go to find the island prince.

Although the lord of Abe Castle said that he did not have any courage, when he was in Hiroshima Castle, he did not do anything out of the ordinary to the people until night. Therefore, the people in the city still support Lord Abe.

And since the lord of Abe City secretly ran to find the prince of the island country, it was natural that these people did not want to kill the prince of the island country.

The emperor of the island country ruled the island country for many years, and at this time Oda Nobunaga suddenly stepped forward to seize power. Moreover, because of Ye Mo, Oda Nobunaga, who could have survived the full alternation with all his might, had to set off wars in the island country, making Oda Nobunaga even more unpopular.

When the people of Hiroshima Castle learned that Oda Nobunaga was coming to attack Hiroshima Castle, they were frightened one by one. Then the students of the martial arts academy told the atrocities of Oda Nobunaga's subordinates in a timely manner, especially the one named Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who slaughtered countless people.

People are like this, when they have a little hope, they always choose to escape and pray for that little hope. But when it comes to the point of despair, it can be done freely.

This was the case with the people of Hiroshima Castle, and after hearing the news that Oda Nobunaga's men were going to slaughter the castle because Hiroshima Castle had defected to the prince of the island country, one by one they wished that Hoshoma would issue a document to recruit strong men to help defend the castle.

"If it is worthy of General Wenchang, it has only been a few days, and the people in the city can probably be called by us." Fa Zheng listened to the news from the people below at this time, and the smile on his face didn't stop.

Wei Yan was so happy to see Fazheng, but he was not so optimistic. "Xiaozhi still thinks about a way to defend the city, before I came to you, I just got the news, within three days, the enemy army will move. Moreover, at this time, the enemy army has gathered 50,000 troops, which is not easy to get along with! ”

After Wei Yan finished speaking, the two of them fell silent again. Hiroshima Castle is not easy to keep. (To be continued.) )
