Chapter 493: Ci is not in charge of the army
Kumamoto Castle was besieged, and the lord of the castle suddenly found it difficult to make a choice. However, before nightfall that day, the lord of Kumamoto Castle was horrified to find two tall catapults outside the city.
Originally, according to the terrain around Kumamoto Castle, if Ye Mo wanted to attack Kumamoto with a catapult, he didn't need to expose the catapult at all. Since Ye Mo did this, it also means that Ye Mo's main plan is to use it to deter the people in Kumamoto City.
As Ye Mo expected, the people of Kumamoto Castle suddenly felt a commotion after seeing the catapult outside the city. Especially those characters with heads and faces in the city, which one has developed to the status it is today? Therefore, they also cherish everything they have now.
"Lord of the city, you should send someone to summon the soldiers of our city, otherwise we will be all finished!" A middle-aged man looked at the two catapults outside, and felt that they were even more terrifying than the catapults he had seen on Honshu Island, and he suddenly couldn't sit still.
The city lord glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke, that man also had some status in the city, otherwise he would not be able to stand next to the city lord at this time.
Originally, the city lord was still hesitating about what choice to make, but because of the man's words, the city lord felt disgusted.
Therefore, the city lord made a decision, and said to the man with a straight face: "I don't want to hear this kind of thing a second time. Now go back to each of you, and gather all the soldiers of your house together to defend against the foreign enemy. Otherwise, I'll have to take someone directly to visit you. ”
The city lord is also quite prestigious on weekdays, so he is now saying this. The representatives of some of the other big families in the city didn't dare to refute anything for a while. As for some resentment. That can only be hidden in the heart.
After the lord of Kumamoto Castle said that, the people at the head of Kumamoto Castle dispersed. As for the city lord, he only glanced at the two catapults outside the city worriedly, sighed and left the city wall.
There are not many soldiers in the city now, and there are no siege soldiers outside the city at present, so the city lord is not too worried about anything at this time. The so-called siege equipment, if there is no cooperation of a large number of soldiers, is just an ornament.
Ye Mo didn't know what the city lord of Kumamoto Castle thought. If I knew, I guess I would just smile. Ye Mo didn't have the idea of capturing Kumamoto Castle, so after assembling the projection vehicle and bringing a large number of stones from nearby, Ye Mo also began to attack Kumamoto Castle.
"Huh~" With a sound of breaking the air, those stones also fell into Kumamoto Castle or on the city wall, which suddenly caused a cry to sound in Kumamoto Castle.
The city lord of Kumamoto Castle had already returned to his own castle lord's mansion at this time, but he suddenly felt a shaking of the ground. When he came out of the study, he found that a boulder had broken through the wall of the City Lord's Mansion. It fell directly in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Looking at the boulder in front of him, the city lord was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.
If it was before, the city lord was still holding the other party's soldiers and didn't collect them. If he didn't know the idea of attacking the city, at this moment, after breaking out in a cold sweat, the city lord also stumbled towards the city gate.
At this time, since the catapult had already begun to attack, the first thought of the city lord after waking up was naturally that the soldiers outside the city had begun to attack the city.
However, when he ran all the way to the gate tower in fear, he found that there was no other movement outside the city except for the two catapults that were still making a "squeak" sound.
Seeing this, how could the city lord not understand Ye Mo's thoughts, that is, to break the will to resist in the city by constantly throwing boulders. And now it seems that Ye Mo's approach is still very successful. It's just that the more this happens, the more the lord hates those who besiege the city.
In the city, at this time, in addition to the city lord, there was another person who hated Ye Mo so much.
Di Ye Qingyun was walking on the street at this time, and he had to take this opportunity again to persuade the people of various families to unite and put pressure on the city lord, and he also had to be careful of the stones that flew over his head from time to time, which was a worry.
Outside the city, Ye Mo didn't expect Di Ye Qingyun to fight so hard at this time, and if he didn't find a safe place to take it with him, he was still running around for his plan.
"At this point, the plan should almost succeed, pass my order, let Fa Zheng guard the east gate, Chen Deng guard the north gate, and Wei Yan guard the south gate, it is bound to not let anyone who tries to leave the city escape." Ye Mo looked at the figure on the gatehouse of the west gate in front of him shaking for a while, and immediately turned around and began to give orders to the people behind him.
After receiving the order, the three people immediately led their own people away.
That night, Ye Mo and the others waited outside Kumamoto Castle for a day, but they didn't wait for any movement in Kumamoto Castle. After resting for a night, Ye Mo ordered the catapult to be put back into operation early in the morning.
"Bang!" The huge stones thrown by the catapult crashed into the city wall, and everyone on the city wall was immediately awakened. Those soldiers had finally fallen asleep and rested because of a night's fear, but in less than half an hour, Ye Mo had started throwing boulders again.
Just after Ye Mo and the others had been operating the trebuchet for half an hour, the gate of Kumamoto Castle finally opened, and then a large number of people poured out from inside.
Looking at that group of people, Lu Yi, Huang Zhong and others behind Ye Mo were stunned. They didn't expect that the last person to rush out of the city gate was not the soldiers in the city.
It's just that Ye Mo didn't hesitate at this time, and directly ordered the spear-throwing soldiers and crossbowmen to prepare to attack. In Ye Mo's eyes, although the people in front of him were pitiful, they were not of my race, even if they were unarmed, they could only die for the success of Ye Mo's final plan.
At the same time, the other three gates of Kumamoto also poured out a large number of people.
Although Wei Yan is not very old, he is ruthless and ruthless. Even though there were many people who came out of the gate that Wei Yan guarded, there were many old and weak women, but Wei Yan still resolutely carried out Ye Mo's order and did not let anyone leave.
As for Chen Deng and Fa Zheng, the so-called scribes are ruthless, and it is not unreasonable. After watching the city gate open and a group of people pouring out, the two of them didn't even change their expressions, and directly gave the order not to let one go.
Besides, on Ye Mo's side, after Ye Mo's order was issued, Huang Zhong's face obviously changed, and it was Lu Yi, who also sighed.
They all knew that if these people were allowed to leave like this, the soldiers sent out by Kumamoto Castle would definitely not be called back. But even so, they still had some unbearable to see so many unarmed civilians slaughtered.
"Ci is not in charge of the troops, if we don't kill them today, maybe tomorrow we will hear the news of Zhou Tai's death. Now I leave the command of these people to you, and you can decide for yourselves! Ye Mo looked back at Huang Zhong and Lu Yi, who were uncomfortable, and left with such a sentence.
Huang Zhong and Lu Yi stayed where they were, their faces changed a few times, and in the end they didn't say anything, turned around and left with Ye Mo. What remained behind them was the endless screams and howls. (To be continued......)
