The lord of Hiroshima Castle is not an ordinary person, and his family is also a well-known family in the island country, the Abe family.

The Abe family, unlike the Iga family, chose neutrality in the struggle between Oda Nobunaga and the emperor of the island country and did not take sides. But the Abe family clearly chose Oda Nobunaga's thigh, and between the appearance of Oda Nobunaga, the Abe family was the emperor's loyal dog.

It can be said that if it were not for the rebellion of the Abe family, the emperor of the island country would not have the slightest ability to resist in this struggle, and could only be a puppet.

The lord of Hiroshima Castle is the grandson of the current patriarch of the Abe family, and although he has some ability, he is too young after all, and his heart is still not up to par. The commander of the Hiroshima Navy was the uncle of the lord of Hiroshima Castle, and now that the lord felt that his life was threatened, the first thought in his mind was naturally to ask his uncle for help.

"Lord of the city, according to the news that has come back, the main force of the enemy army has not yet arrived, so it is better for us to attack first and destroy their grain and grass." Just when the lord of Hiroshima Castle was in a hurry, the strategists on the side stood up at the right time and made a plan to the lord of the castle.

After listening to the words of his advisers, the city lord also suddenly realized. He had been under the camp that could accommodate 100,000 troops before, but now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, most of the camp was empty.

"It makes sense, it makes sense, tell me, how many soldiers are there in the city now?" After the city lord calmed down, he returned to his old judgment. As long as there were enough soldiers in the city, even if the barracks were built to the size of 200,000 men, it would be just an empty barracks.

The counsellor saw that the lord of the city had returned to his former heroism. I was also happy in my heart. When the time came, the lord of the city defeated the enemy forces outside the city. made a great contribution. Then he, the staff member who raised the city lord, will naturally not be treated badly.

At that time, as long as the Abe family takes a fancy to it, it will be considered to be at the peak of life in the future, and you can marry Bai Fumei.

Now when asked by the grandson of the head of the Abe family, the strategist quickly replied, "Because of the previous order of the lord, some scattered soldiers in the vicinity have also been stationed in the castle recently. Although there are not many soldiers in the city, there are more than 6,000 soldiers. ”

After listening to the adviser's report, the city lord nodded.

More than 6,000 soldiers. That's not a small number. Toyotomi Hideyoshi put down the rebellion on Kyushu Island, but he only brought 5,000 soldiers, and after returning, there were more than 4,300 left.

Although these soldiers in the city are not as elite as Toyotomi Hideyoshi took away from Oda Nobunaga, this number is placed here, so no one can underestimate it. "And how many people have the enemy gathered now?"

"The enemy army is too scattered, but the preliminary estimate is that the number should be around 5,000, and the maximum will not exceed 10,000." When asked about the number of enemy troops, the strategist paused, then carefully stated a range.

"Bang!"

At the end of the counsellor's voice. A tea bowl fell on the head of the strategist. About 5,000, to less than 10,000. The difference between this number is not ordinarily large, and it is no wonder that the city lord is suddenly angry at this time.

"We only have 6,000 men, and if we take advantage of the fortification of Hiroshima Castle, we still have a chance to hold on and wait for reinforcements. If you do what you say, won't you give this great advantage to others in vain? Say, "Who are you sending from?" What kind of heart does Ann have? At this time, the city lord directly suspected the strategist's intentions.

The strategist was beaten, and he didn't react a little. At this time, when he heard the words of the city lord again, the strategist was immediately stunned. He thought that this answer might be bad, but he didn't think that it would be such a result.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, ...... you listen to my explanation?" the counselor was so frightened that he fell to his knees and begged for an explanation.

It's just that the lord of Hiroshima Castle is going crazy at this time, so how can he give that strategist a chance to explain. "Come on, drag him down, Lord Ben doesn't want to see him again!"

Without the advisor explaining, two guards rushed in and dragged the advisor out.

The conversation between the city lord and this strategist just now, they could also hear it clearly outside the door. You must know that although they came to the City Lord's Mansion to be on duty today, once there is a big war, they will still go to the battlefield.

As a soldier, there is nothing to go to the battlefield, if you don't go to the battlefield, how can you make meritorious achievements?

However, the camp outside the city can accommodate 100,000 people, and now there are about 5,000 to 10,000 people. Except for the two thousand soldiers who were left behind, the maximum number of soldiers who could fight was four thousand. When the time comes, there will be fewer wins and more defeats. If the enemy army has another ambush or something, it will be impossible to come back.

So, now the two guards had to hurry up and drag the strategist away, and when they saw that the strategist was about to say something, one of the guards gave the strategist a punch directly.

Because of the camp built by Ye Mo outside the city, Hiroshima City was terrified, but Wei Yan and others in the city breathed a sigh of relief.

After infiltrating Hiroshima Castle again, Wei Yan and the others did not rush into action, but after observing the situation in the city, they decided not to take any action for the time being, but only began to explore the important targets and measures in the city.

The commander of the Hiroshima Fleet, who was cruising in the Kanmon Strait, also changed his face greatly after receiving the letter from the lord of Hiroshima Castle. According to the news sent by his nephew, 100,000 troops had been assembled outside Hiroshima, which means that their current intention to besiege Kyushu Island has no effect at all.

Although the military order cannot be violated, he is unlikely to doubt the news of his nephew.

Find the commander of the Kyoto Fleet, and the commander of the Hiroshima Fleet also handed the news from the lord of Hiroshima Castle to the commander of the Kyoto Fleet. "Whether this news is true or not, I must go back to Hiroshima Castle. On this side of the strait, please ask the general. ”

"What General Abe said, now because of the order of General Oda, there is no way for me to go to Hiroshima with the general. Here, I wish the general a victory! "The generals of the Kyoto fleet also did not have the slightest suspicion of the news of the lord of Hiroshima Castle, and the people of the Abe family still did not dare to fake this kind of thing.

Bidding farewell to the generals of the Kyoto Fleet, the Hiroshima Fleet also embarked on a journey back home under the leadership of the generals of the Hiroshima Fleet.

When the Hiroshima fleet left the Kanmon Strait, it was also detected by reinforcements from the Han Dynasty at the first time. Without the threat of a main navy, they want to find an opportunity to cross the strait, and they are also a little more.

And in the time when the Hiroshima fleet returned, Wei Yan and the others also found some important targets that could be destroyed, the granary of Hiroshima City. It's just that at this time, the granary seems to be very tightly defended, which didn't give Wei Yan and them a chance.

But although they did not find an opportunity to destroy the granary, they did collect something other important during this time. During these times, Wei Yan and the others found a large amount of oil.

Although it is only vegetable oil for cooking, the flammability of the oil does not change greatly depending on its use. However, although there is an important difference between vegetable oil and fire oil, what does it matter? (To be continued......)
