Chapter 813: Solid Wall Clear Field?
In the Kyushu sea area in winter, the wind and waves are still very strong.
The cold and damp sea breeze is constantly blowing, so that people living on the coast always feel disgusted by this biting cold.
However, in the face of the power of nature, human beings are very small.
In addition to obedience, it is just a matter of adding two more clothes.
At this time, on the sea outside Kawaguchi-cho of Miyazaki Castle, a fleet of dozens of warships appeared, sailing towards this direction.
When the soldiers stationed in Kawaguchi Town discovered the situation, they hurriedly rang the small bell located in the center of Kawaguchi Town.
Bang Bang!
For a time, the residents of Kawaguchi Town wanted to flee with their families, knowing that the war was coming.
If you stay, then you are waiting for death.
The soldiers evacuated the people of Kawaguchi and then left Kawaguchi for Miyazaki Castle.
In just half an hour, the town of Kawaguchi was deserted.
The main reason why the soldiers here dispersed the people here was that the lord of Miyazaki Castle, Fujita Takaji, had already issued a notice telling everyone in the territory that once a large fleet of ships was found coming from the open sea, then immediately evacuate the people and report to Miyazaki Castle.
Therefore, the soldiers of Kawaguchi Town followed this order very well.
The main reason why Fujita gave this order was to open up the scorched earth side to deal with Zhao Hongyu's arrival.
According to the ideas of Fujita Gaoji and the other Kyushu daimyos, Zhao Hongyu came to their country from a very distant place, so it was impossible for them to obtain supplies from their homeland.
Therefore, as long as the scorched earth strategy is implemented in Kyushu, the enemy will be left in a situation where food and wages cannot be replenished. In this way, the war will have a relative advantage over the Kyushu people.
At the same time, according to some intelligence analysis, the target of these enemies from afar was Miyazaki Castle.
So. Fujita's sophomore year of high school was ready early in the morning.
As long as Zhao Hongyu and the others don't land in the Miyazaki area, if they land in the Miyazaki area, then they will definitely leave nothing for Zhao Hongyu.
Uninhabited areas can definitely make the enemy feel troubled.
Strictly speaking, such a strategy is actually very good and very reliable.
It's just that no one could have imagined that the enemy they will face this time, even if you do it, will be of little use.
Because one of these enemies has a rebellious outback.
As long as there is this plug-in. So scorched earth warfare or something is simply impossible to implement perfectly.
For these things, even if the people of Kyushu want to break their heads, they will not think of it.
Because it's too mysterious.
But in any case, when Zhao Hongyu led the fleet to the side of Kawaguchi Town, the people of Kyushu had already begun to move.
About three hours later, Zhao Hongyu led the fleet to slowly sail into the berth of the pier in Kawaguchi Town and docked.
When the flagship was stable, Zhao Hongyu came to the deck and looked over with a frown.
There was silence as far as his eyes could see. Didn't see a single person at all.
Kawaguchi is a small town with a resident population of only 1,200 people.
This very quiet, quiet and somewhat eerie castle town made Zhao Hongyu feel a little uncomfortable.
"There is something strange about the place and it is too quiet. When our fleet arrived. The other party's guide boat did not appear, and even when we docked, we did not see anyone. Could it be that this is an uninhabited town? ”
Zhao Hongyu's tone was a little uncomfortable, and he said to everyone on the left and right.
On both sides of Zhao Hongyu's side, Wang Fuzi, Liu Da Scar, Tokugawa Kayo and others followed.
After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, the big guys all noticed the slightest unkindness in the tone of this highness.
Hattori Onizo answered at this time and said, "Takekawa general." Tokugawa ninja Iga Hattori shinobi request to land and investigate! ”
Nowadays, this small town town has a strange atmosphere that can not be seen.
Zhao Hongyu couldn't figure out what was going on, so he couldn't give the order recklessly. Let the army land and enter this eerie castle.
If this thing is a trap set up by the enemy here, won't he suffer a big loss?
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, doesn't this happen often?
Could it be that the Japanese people are going to use what kind of tricks?
Zhao Hongyu suddenly came up with such an idea.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu is a little too careful to think like this, Fujita is not so smart in the second year of high school, and he will not think of any trap to use to deal with Zhao Hongyu and them.
This castle simply dispersed the people.
In other words, this is a castle that is actually empty, and there are no traps in it at all.
However, Zhao Hongyu, who is careful in everything, is still cautious and did not give the order for the whole army to land.
"Hattori Ghost Hide, you Hattori ninjas go and investigate first, you must be careful and careful, don't make any mistakes."
Zhao Hongyu nodded and agreed to Hattori's request.
Then, Hattori Kizou took out a whistle made of small bamboo from his bosom, put it to his mouth and blew it.
With the sound of the whistle, some ninjas dressed in black with their faces covered jumped off the battleship with great agility, and then disappeared into the eerie castle in a few take-offs.
"Send three teams of land forces to the shore to control the intersection of five blocks in the vicinity, and set up a guard post at the same time." , Zhao Hongyu continued to order.
As Zhao Hongyu's order was conveyed, a battleship moored at the berth lowered the landing deck, and then three teams of army genetics soldiers quickly stepped off the battleship and rushed to the buildings and streets near the dock.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, another half an hour passed.
All the Iga ninjas who were scouting came to the flagship and reported to Hattori Kizo what they had discovered.
The three teams of army soldiers also controlled all the buildings near the pier, as well as the commanding heights and street intersections.
At the same time, they also checked whether the building had been set up by the Japanese people or drenched in fire oil.
"Your Highness, there is no one left in Kawaguchi Town. However, judging from the discoveries and speculations of the subordinate ninjas, it seems that the people here left in a hurry, and the time was about two hours ago. ”
After listening to Hattori's report, Zhao Hongyu's brows furrowed a little.
Two hours is an hour, and if you count it as two hours, then it is four hours ago.
At this time, I had just entered the waters of Miyazaki, and my fleet was sailing this way.
After calculating the time, Zhao Hongyu calculated that four hours ago, he had just entered this area.
Could it be that the people of Kawaguchi Town only left after discovering us?
We're outsiders, but there's something wrong with them before the war begins.
"Ghost Hide, let the ninjas continue to want to investigate the surrounding area, and at the same time send an elite force to Miyazaki Castle to inquire about the news. I need to know what to do in the shortest possible time, and the people here will all run away after they find out about us. Zhao Hongyu made new arrangements to Hattori Onizo and his Iga ninjas.
"Oh!"
Hattori Kizo accepted the order, and then turned to make arrangements for the Iga ninja who were still kneeling there.
In Zhao Hongyu's heart, a lot of possibilities flashed.
In the end, he felt that the people of Kawaguchi Town must have something to do with these daimyo in Kyushu when they ran away like this.
Perhaps, the daimyo of Kyushu have already made their choice for the right to come and receive Kyushu.
It's just that after some things have not been finalized, it is really difficult to make a conclusion.
Therefore, he needs to wait until Hattori Onizo asks the Iga ninja to go to the Miyazaki area to find out the exact news before he can plan his next move.
If it wasn't until the time when he had to use force, Zhao Hongyu really didn't want to use force to solve these people in Kyushu.
But if it really comes to a certain point, Zhao Hongyu will not be afraid.
"All the army landed, and after the landing, the Janissaries controlled every building in the castle, and the rest of the army set up barracks and checkpoints on the periphery of the castle."
Although Hattori Hidezo asked his subordinates to go to Miyazaki to find out the news, Zhao Hongyu can't always stay on the ship.
And in this way, wouldn't it seem that you are a little afraid of the unknown, which will make your morale very weak?
In these years, only being beaten to death is not scared to death.
And after some investigation, there really aren't any traps in the castle, so there's nothing to worry about.
Under Zhao Hongyu's order, more than 9,200 troops landed.
Among them, 500 Praetorian Guards under Zhao Hongyu's command, and 300 European clothed slaves all lived with him in the castle.
The remaining 8,000 men were stationed outside the castle and set up simple camps.
Emma and Sara, along with their guards, followed Zhao Hongyu.
When they landed, three of the flagships were left outside the berths, and the remaining warships left the harbor and began to patrol the waters of Miyazaki.
After all, you have to guard against the Kyushu people attacking you from the sea.
Originally, the army under Zhao Hongyu only had more than 4,000 people.
However, because the shogunate gave 100,000 taels of gold war indemnity, Zhao Hongyu suddenly had a lot of money on hand.
With these funds, Zhao Hongyu secretly cultivated a group of Huaxia gene man warriors during the voyage, and the number of these gene man tactics was as high as 4,500 people.
Therefore, the army strength on hand of Zhao Hongyu now broke through the barrier of 9,000 people in one fell swoop.
Although the strength of 9,000 people is not a lot, in Zhao Hongyu's opinion, these people on hand are completely enough to deal with the war on the Kyushu side. (To be continued......)
