Chapter 522: The Burning of the Granary
As soon as the Hiroshima fleet left the Kanmon Strait, the Kyoto fleet was immediately understaffed. However, because of the news from the lord of Hiroshima Castle, the people of the Kyoto fleet could not be so lucky.
However, the soldiers summoned by the system took advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative to request the commander of the Kyoto fleet to carry out patrols. Now that there is only the Kyoto Fleet on this side of the Kanmon Strait, and there is no supervision, then the generals of the Kyoto Fleet will naturally not be so active.
Now that someone has come forward and asked for a patrol, how can the admiral of the Kyoto fleet not agree?
The warship seized the opportunity and sent someone to send back the news to the Han reinforcements on Kyushu Island. At that time, as long as the people of the Kyoto fleet do not join in, then it will be simple for these 200,000 reinforcements to cross the Kanmon Strait.
Although Di Ye Qingyun will not help the reinforcements of the Han to attack the navy of the island country, it is still no problem to provide some ships to cross the sea now. After all, if you want to fight a war with the navy, you need warships, and you don't necessarily win, but to cross a strait, fishing boats are enough.
It's just that 200,000 people need to cross the Guanmen Strait, and just a few fishing boats can't do it in a short time. Time, in the end, what they need is time.
In Hiroshima City, Wei Yan and others prepared all the flammable materials, and they also found out the garrison of the granary of Hiroshima City. However, there has been no chance, which also makes Wei Yan and others very helpless.
"My lord, good chance, their guard in the city has been relaxed." Just when Wei Yan and Fa Zheng were at a loss, a student from the Martial Arts Academy rushed into the place where they settled at this time.
Wei Yan was annoyed at this time, and when he saw someone rushing in recklessly, he wanted to scold out. However, at this time, Wei Yan also reacted, this person seemed to say that the vigilance in the city had been relaxed.
"You just said that. Guards in the city relaxed? Any idea what's going on? Wei Yan had just reacted, but Fa Zheng on the side opened his mouth and asked at the man.
After the man came in, he breathed a sigh of relief before he said, "I heard that the Hiroshima fleet is coming back, so now the lord of the castle is waiting at the port with a large number of soldiers." ”
"Chief, what a chance! Wait until the Hiroshima fleet returns. The number of troops in Hiroshima Castle will inevitably increase, and it will be even more difficult for us to move. As soon as Fa Zheng heard the student's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and he wanted to ask Wei Yan to start acting.
Wei Yan thought about it briefly and agreed. The so-called opportunity must not be lost, and the time will never come. If you don't do it at this time, then when?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Yan and the others carried the flammable materials that had been collected, and headed towards the granary of Hiroshima City, which had been explored before.
When the crowd arrived. However, I found that although there were fewer soldiers patrolling, the intensity of the patrol was still extremely severe, and it was not easy to set fire to those people's noses.
"General Abe is back today, but we still have to patrol here, alas......" Just when Wei Yan and the others secretly observed whether there were any loopholes to exploit, the patrolling island soldiers were actually not very willing in their hearts.
The soldier from the island country had just finished complaining, and one of the people next to him said with a smile, "Come on." Even if you can greet Abe-sama, there is no way to get Abe-sama's attention. There is this time to complain. Why don't you patrol well? ”
After listening to his companion's words, the previous soldier of the island country also understood this truth, but General Abe is his idol, so it's good to have a look. It's just that now that I think about it so much, the layout has been arranged. You can only comply.
However, with this emotion, it is natural that there will be some negligence. Maybe these soldiers of the island country don't have this idea, but the fluctuation of emotions, this is something that cannot be helped.
Finally. Before the change of guard among the soldiers of those island nations, there was still a gap that no one noticed. Taking advantage of that gap, Wei Yan and the others also successfully infiltrated the granary of Hiroshima City. As for how to escape after the arson, this Wei Yan and the others silently ignored this problem. There is no way, depending on the character, there is no way to arrange the plan.
After Wei Yan and the others infiltrated the granary, the lord of Hiroshima Castle was still waiting for his uncle in the harbor. He got the news that his uncle would return on this day, but as for the specific time, it was not specified. Who can guarantee that things at sea will be smooth sailing?
"My lord, they're back, general, they're back!" Just when the lord of Hiroshima Castle was waiting a little sleepy, one of his guards finally saw the shadow of a ship on the sea level.
Being shouted at by his guards like this, the lord of Hiroshima Castle suddenly came to his senses. Looking at the gradually clear shadow, the city lord was extremely excited at the moment, and it was about to turn cloudy and clear.
"Be spirited, when the general comes back later, don't let the general see your decadent look. We want the general to see that even if we are facing a hundred thousand enemies now, we still maintain a good mental state. At this time, the city lord had reinforcements, and his waist pole instantly straightened up, and he began to talk eloquently to his subordinates.
The Hiroshima fleet, which was still at sea, had already seen the dense crowd in the harbor at this time. Seeing that so many people were welcoming them back, those naval non-commissioned officers were also extremely gratified. It's been more than a month since I went out, and after all, my family is still thinking about it.
General Abe looked at the situation at the port at this time, and he also showed a smile on his face. Sure enough, he didn't hurt this nephew in vain, and when he knew that he was back, he specially called many people to come to the port to greet him.
"General, look inside the city!" Just when General Abe was relieved, his first mate was pointing in the direction of Hiroshima Castle in horror at this time.
After listening to the words of the first mate, General Abe also looked towards the castle, but found that a thick fire and smoke had risen inside the castle. It's just that when he saw this scene, General Abe didn't care at all, but laughed and said: "It seems that my nephew is worried that my uncle will get lost at sea, so he lit a bunch of beacon fires to guide us!" Hahahaha......"
As soon as General Abe finished speaking, the soldiers around him also laughed. As for the first mate, he didn't have to worry about anything. Even General Abe is not worried, he has nothing to worry about.
Finally, when the fire in the city grew bigger and bigger, the lord of the port also noticed that something was wrong. Looking back at the smoke that rushed into the sky, the city lord's whole face turned green.
"Hurry back to put out the fire, go back to put out the fire!" As the lord of Hiroshima Castle, he knew exactly where the smoke was. If all the food is killed, it is said that Hiroshima Castle will not be immediately plunged into famine, but if there is a real siege of the city, Hiroshima is afraid that it will not be able to hold on.
After hearing the order of the city lord, everyone in the port also discovered the fire in the city. So, when the Hiroshima fleet was about to enter the port, the people rushed back to the city to put out the fire.
As for the Hiroshima fleet at sea, they originally planned to come in slowly, so that they could enjoy the long-awaited gaze of some of their hometowns. But such a sudden situation made those naval non-commissioned officers dumbfounded. The big scene greets, lights the beacon fire to pilot, and the people are almost there but they run away, is this teasing the two fools?
"Oh no, there's really something wrong in the city!" It was General Ampre who reacted in time to understand what was going on in the city. However, he was the one who led others to think in the wrong direction in the first place.
Wei Yan and the others did not leave in a hurry after burning the granary again, but took advantage of the chaos to kill some soldiers of the island country, changed their clothes and began to fight fires everywhere. It's just that their barrels are not filled with water, but with oil. Their involvement only made the fire begin to spread at a faster rate. (To be continued......)
