Chapter 492: The first battle of the island nation

After hearing Ye Mo say that he was going to attack Kumamoto, Chen Deng's brows suddenly furrowed. However, Fa Zheng, after listening to Ye Mo's words, directly raised opposing opinions.

Ye Mo just said that he was going to attack Kumamoto Castle, but he didn't say what the reason was, how could Fa Zheng agree?

It's not that Chen Deng didn't take into account the comparison of the strength of the two sides if he didn't speak, it's just that Chen Deng didn't speak at the beginning because Chen Deng wanted to know Ye Mo a little bit, but was considering the possibility of what Ye Mo said.

In Chen Deng's cognition, Ye Mo has never done something that he is not sure of, and since Ye Mo proposed to attack Kumamoto City this time, Ye Mo must have something to do.

Looking at Fa Zheng with an excited face, Ye Mo also smiled bitterly and explained to the two of them the reason why he planned to attack Kumamoto. If it was really like what Ye Mo said, then the two of them really couldn't say anything to dissuade them.

The reason why they were able to escape smoothly was because Zhou Tai and the others dragged the navy of the island country to the death, preventing them from having the possibility of pursuit. Now that Zhou Tai has something to do with leading a fleet to find them, how can they sit idly by?

"Lord, how many troops can we use this time?" Now that he understood that this battle was inevitable, Hosho also devoted all his thoughts to how to give Kumamoto enough blows so that the lord of Kumamoto Castle had to withdraw some of his forces.

After listening to Fa Zheng's words, Ye Mo glanced at Fa Zheng and said, "This time, Lu Yi took half of the soldiers to the camp first, all the students of the Martial Arts Academy were dispatched, and General Huang Lao led a thousand foot soldiers. This time it's just for Kumamoto Castle to feel threatened. It's not really about taking Kumamoto Castle down. ”

This time. The systematic island civilization has not yet been thoroughly developed. If Ye Mo occupies a city in the island country at this time, it will be self-defeating.

After Ye Mo said the number of soldiers who participated in this siege battle, Fa Zheng and Chen Deng suddenly relaxed their hearts. According to the people given by Ye Mo, if they defend Kumamoto City, it will be enough. But if you want to attack the city, it is not enough to see.

And Ye Mo still has to send such a lineup when he knows that it is impossible for these people to capture Kumamoto, which means that Ye Mo is really too lazy to do enough.

This time. But it's hard for Fa Zheng and Chen Deng. Ye Mo's lips touched like that, and he said such a thing, but he wanted Fa Zheng and Chen Deng to do this matter well, isn't this embarrassing?

However, Fa Zheng and Chen Deng would not see this as Ye Mo making it difficult for them. Since Ye Mo was able to explain this matter, then they would naturally think that this was a test given to them by Ye Mo.

But in fact, Ye Mo already had a plan in his heart about this matter. Although he only brought more than 2,000 soldiers out this time to make a show, don't forget that Ye Mo also has an ally.

Since Di Ye Qingyun was Ye Mo's ally, there was naturally no way to stay out of the matter at this time. What's more, Ye Mo didn't really want to knock down Kumamoto City. It's just a formality to shock the lord of Kumamoto Castle.

When Fa Zheng and Chen Deng were still discussing how to make this matter more perfect. Ye Mo also quietly withdrew from the study and went to Kumamoto City to find Di Ye Qingyun.

Di Ye Qingyun also expressed his full support for Ye Mo's plan. It's just that Ye Mo also knows that Di Ye Qingyun is saying so now, but once things change, those soldiers of Di Ye Qingyun will definitely run faster than anyone else.

However, Ye Mo didn't care about this, and he didn't mean anything else anyway. Now Ye Mo's strength in the island country is still too weak, so since he can take advantage of the situation, Ye Mo naturally won't mind.

After negotiating the cooperation with Di Ye Qingyun, Ye Mo also went back to the place where they had settled. After Ye Mo went back, Fa Zheng and Chen Deng also thought about how to use so many people to create the illusion that they were going to knock down Kumamoto City.

According to Fa Zheng and the two of them, since Ye Mo had no way to send a large army to besiege him, he simply did not besiege it, but just sent soldiers to hunt and kill all those who left the city in Kumamoto Castle. At the same time, traps were dug on the main roads around Kumamoto Castle to create the appearance of a siege.

Of course, this is not the whole of Fazheng's plan. Pretending to besiege the city was only the first step in Fa Zheng's plan. Next, Fa Zheng is going to send some soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people into Kumamoto Castle, and when Kumamoto Castle is in chaos, then why worry that Kumamoto Castle will not recall those soldiers?

Putting pressure on Kumamoto Castle and constantly destroying the hope of Kumamoto Castle is what allowed the lord of Kumamoto Castle to summon back the soldiers who had been sent out. If he behaves too strongly, the lord of Kumamoto Castle will see that Kumamoto Castle will be lost, and he will strengthen his determination to respond to the call to join the main force of the island nation's navy.

After listening to Fa Zheng's suggestion, Ye Mo also ordered Wei Yan to immediately take people to the four gates of Kumamoto Castle to ambush, and when he saw anyone coming out, he followed them to a secluded place to kill them. As for whether the people killed were innocent people, Ye Mo didn't care so much.

Two days passed, and the disappearance of a large number of people in the city finally aroused the vigilance of the lord of Kumamoto Castle.

Originally, on the first day, someone went to the government to report that his family was missing, but the government did not take it seriously at that time. There is no evidence, just a day without seeing anyone, how can it be considered missing?

However, in the evening of the next day, the people of the Kumamoto Castle Central Government found that more and more people had come to report the crime, and after counting them, they were horrified to find that in the past two days, the number of missing people had reached more than 500.

At this moment, the city lord of Kumamoto Castle couldn't sit still, such a large-scale disappearance of people, if he didn't find out the reason, then he, the city lord, would be sitting at the end.

Immediately, the lord of Kumamoto Castle also ordered the official to go out of the city to find out what was going on. I got the news from the people who reported the crime, and the people who went missing, but they were out of the city, so they never came back.

Outside the city, Ye Mo was also hiding aside at this time, watching the continuous officials in the city come out to inquire about the news, and he was also secretly happy. Now that the lord of Kumamoto Castle has finally sent someone out, the plan to correct them has finally succeeded.

made a gesture to Wei Yan who was not far away, and Wei Yan nodded when he saw it, and then ran in the direction of the official messenger.

In Kumamoto Castle, after sending more than 20 officials, half a day passed, but no one was seen returning. Just when the lord of Kumamoto Castle was extremely anxious, a bloodied official finally appeared in their field of vision.

Seeing that someone came back, the city lord finally breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, I always get some outside news, and I don't have to be in fear all day long like I used to.

"Lord of the city, outside...... Outside, a lot...... ......Before the official could tell the news that he had risked his life to find out, an arrow flew out of the main road outside the city and hit the official's vest.

The people on the road outside Kumamoto Castle are none other than Ye San. After putting away the hard bow in his hand without hurrying, Ye San muttered, "For such a long time, you should tell the news you have discovered." ”

It's just that what Ye San didn't know was that the official was killed by him with an arrow before he could say anything.

However, fortunately, Ye Mo had expected this situation before, and the officials who came out of each gate of Kumamoto Castle let one go back, so that they would not die of being seriously injured on the way and not transmit the news back.

After getting the news that the officials who had gone out from the other three gates had returned, the forehead of the city lord of Kumamoto Castle couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.

The news he received was that a group of bandits and bandits had united with the foreigners who had landed before, and they wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Kumamoto Castle to take Kumamoto Castle and sack it.

The lord of Kumamoto Castle is faced with a difficult choice at this time.

First, summon back the soldiers who had been sent out, and at the same time organize the people of the city to defend the city together. In this way, Kumamoto Castle can be fine, but then there is no way to merge the main forces of the navy according to Oda Nobunaga's instructions.

Second, it was to rely only on the people of the city to defend the city, but from the point of view of the soldiers who came back to report it, if they only relied on the people of the city, they would not be able to defend the city until the soldiers sent back to defend the city. In this way, when the city is broken, the city lord does not dare to imagine what kind of tragedy will happen at that time.

Outside Kumamoto City, Ye Mo didn't have so much patience to wait for the city lord of Kumamoto City to think for several days. After letting the officials of Kumamoto Castle enter the city, Ye Mo ordered to transfer two detachable trebuchets from the landing site, and only after the trebuchet was assembled, he began to throw stones to deter, so that the city lord of Kumamoto Castle had to make a decision as soon as possible.

In Kumamoto Castle, Di Ye Qingyun also began to contact some families in the city who could speak according to the plan discussed before, preparing to jointly put pressure on the city lord.

After Ye Mo and the others arrived in the island country, the first battle in the real sense was about to start! (To be continued......)
