In Kumamoto City, even if the patriarch of those families wanted to dedicate Kumamoto to Ye Mo, it would take time to plan things.

It's just that during the time he was waiting, Ye Mo was anxious every day that passed. In the past few days, he had not heard from anyone that someone in the city had quietly run out at night. This also means that the city lord did not send any of them to summon the soldiers he had sent before.

Ye Mo's original purpose in choosing to besiege Kumamoto Castle was to force the city lord of Kumamoto Castle to recall the soldiers sent out. Now, that purpose is no longer working.

Just when Ye Mo was extremely entangled in whether he should continue to besiege Kumamoto, he finally began to hear good news.

After Luo Qiu almost blew up the town center of the island civilization, he finally increased the power of gunpowder by several percent on the basis of the original artillery. Although Luo Qiu did not invent yellow powder at this time, it must be rare to obtain ordinary black powder.

You must know that according to the normal historical process, even black powder was not invented until the Tang Dynasty. Although with the help of the system, it was possible to get some of the civilizations built to make black powder, but it was only standard black powder.

After developing the new type of explosives, Luo Qiu took a large part of it and sent it to Ye Mo. As for the rest, Luo Qiu kept it for himself to study.

In fact, Luo Qiu really wanted to leave all the gunpowder for research, but considering that the center of the civilized town of the island country had been blown up, Luo Qiu still reluctantly took out most of the gunpowder.

After Ye Mo got the gunpowder, he only thought about it slightly. He decided to use the gunpowder in Kumamoto Castle. Since the lord of Kumamoto Castle is so calm. Ye Mo didn't believe that he could really ignore the safety of Kumamoto Castle.

Previously. The lord of Kumamoto Castle was able to use Ye Mo to massacre the people to make the people in the city feel terrified and had to defend it. Then, Ye Mo was able to take advantage of this and let the people in Kumamoto City force the city lord to recall those soldiers in order to survive.

Moreover, this plan has to be hurried, if it takes a long time, then Zhou Tai and they should hand over the main force of the island country's navy.

With just a slight arrangement, Ye Mo followed the previous method of dealing with the island country's navy in Qingzhou. Use a trebuchet to drop explosives onto the walls of Kumamoto Castle.

The reason why he didn't throw it into the city, but bombed the city wall, was because Ye Mo knew that although the power of the explosives was great, if they were thrown into the city, there was no other benefit except for killing a few more people and increasing the fear of the people in the city.

On the contrary, the bombardment of the castle walls did not cause much damage, but it was able to intimidate the lord of Kumamoto Castle. After all. The city lord alone made the decision, and it was useless to deter the rest of the city.

"Boom!"

Explosives bombarded the city walls. It only made the defenders near the bombarded city wall feel that the sky was shaking for a while, and as for the defenders on the bombarded section of the city wall, they had already been blown away by the shock wave, and their feelings were not considered for the time being.

After the walls were bombarded twice, the lord of Kumamoto Castle hurried to the location of the walled city. Although he decided not to summon those soldiers back, he also did not want Kumamoto Castle to be lost in his hands, otherwise he would not have allowed a large number of people to escape through the four gates and be killed.

When the lord of Kumamoto Castle arrived at the section of the city wall that was bombarded, he looked at the city wall that was a little shorter, and his face suddenly fell.

The lord of Kumamoto Castle had never seen such a situation, and when he was on the island of Honshu, he had the good fortune to meet an elite unit of Oda Nobunaga, which included several iron cannons, and a huge stone was blown out of a large crater in one shot.

The current situation is different from what the city lord had imagined when he had seen the destruction caused by the iron cannon.

The city lord frowned at this time, he didn't know who else but Oda Nobunaga could have such a weapon and cause such great damage to the city wall. Moreover, the movement he heard before was not much different from what he had seen before.

However, the city lord didn't want to believe it at this time, and all this in front of him was actually done by Oda Nobunaga.

In fact, the castle lord didn't have to believe it, because all this was not originally done by Oda Nobunaga. It's just that for Ye Mo and them, these city lords and generals of the island country don't have a correct understanding of anything, which makes the city lord of Kumamoto City have a feeling of doubting life at this time.

At this time, in Kumamoto Castle, the heads of those families also quickly rushed to the city wall at this time, looking at the city wall that had been blasted open with a gap, those heads of families looked at each other a few times, and they also felt that the plan was going to be accelerated.

Although the gap in the city wall is not enough to threaten the defense of Kumamoto Castle, since those besieging the city can blast out a gap, who dares to guarantee that they will not be able to blast out the second?

"City Lord, let's go back and combine the family soldiers first, and then come to the city wall to help defend." Looking at the gap, one of the heads of the family suddenly walked up to the city lord and said to the city lord with a huff.

At this time, the city lord was still lamenting that Oda Nobunaga might not trust him, or maybe he knew some secret that he shouldn't know, which led to this murderous disaster.

At this time, after hearing a family head say this, he came to his senses. It's that those people were really sent by Oda Nobunaga, so what, could it be that he still has to tie his hands and can't catch them? What's more, the other party didn't identify himself, did he?

"Okay, you go and gather the soldiers quickly, I want to see what the unsightly enemy is capable of!" The city lord thought that he had the support of various families in the city at this time, but he also seemed to be in high spirits.

After the heads of the families returned, they immediately gathered the soldiers of the various families and rushed towards the city wall.

Seeing a large number of soldiers rushing over, the city lord of Kumamoto Castle was even more smiling at this time. With the support of so many people, the city lord of Kumamoto Castle also has confidence in his heart at this time.

Although Kumamoto Castle has been besieged for three or four days, so far, except for the time when those people were slaughtered, they have not even seen who the other party is. The other party didn't even dare to show his face, indicating that the other party must be a small number of people, or that there was some secret that he couldn't see people.

In this case, the lord of the city is full of confidence. If with the help of these thousands of people, he can't defend this Kumamoto Castle, doesn't that mean that he is simply incompetent?

It's just that what the city lord didn't expect was that after those soldiers went up the city wall, they waved their weapons at the officers and soldiers defending the city.

The city lord looked at those soldiers, and suddenly the whole person was stupid.

First of all, those people besieging the city may have been sent by Oda Nobunaga, and then the soldiers organized by those families in Kumamoto Castle actually moved against the officers and soldiers defending the city, which directly collapsed the world view of the city lord.

When the lord of Kumamoto Castle finally came to his senses, he found that he had been tied up.

Next to the city lord, the heads of the family did not shy away from anything in front of him, and directly began to discuss who to send out of the city to find the besieging person to discuss the matter of dedicating the city.

After listening to the words of those family masters, the city lord almost vomited blood without anger. Kumamoto Castle was not captured by the enemy, but it was taken by his own people, which is simply true.

However, in a corner that no one noticed, Tian Fufeng slowly touched the city wall with a short knife in his hand. (To be continued......)
