Chapter 578 Trap?
Chapter 578: Trap?
According to Jiang Lang's plan, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty began to rest, and for them, there were still a lot of things to do during this period.
According to Jianglang's plan, the navy sent troops to encircle and suppress the small island's Mu army. For these people, the Ming soldiers adopted the method of expulsion. However, since they were opposing sides, this conflict was inevitable. Once a conflict occurred, the soldiers' approach was of course very simple, that is, to kill without mercy. After several times, the people of the Komu army also understood that these soldiers from the Ming Dynasty were like wolves and tigers. So when they heard the news that the Ming soldiers were coming, they immediately fled their families. Of course, this was good, at least they could not fight and reduce casualties.
As for Jianglang, while patrolling, the soldiers also sent teams to collect all the food and other things from the people's homes. After all, for war, the consumption of food and grass was very amazing, and collecting it could also reduce the burden on the court.
Of course, whenever the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty arrived, these people had already escaped. The cruelty of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had already made them start to be frightened by this effort, and no one wanted to be the soul of the dead under the sword of others.
There are also several other cities on Kyushu Island, but because their current troops are seriously insufficient and the island's troops have not been organized yet, the only thing they think about now is that during this period, the big list of soldiers should not attack them. As for taking the initiative, don't even think about it.
Just like this, neither side attacked anyone. Jiang Lang was waiting for reinforcements, and the Kou Mu army was also waiting for reinforcements. However, in this short time, the cruelty of the Ming soldiers was spread very quickly. The residents in the cities were controlled and were not allowed to leave the city. However, the people in the small villages were different. No one came to control them, so they all fled in a hurry. In this way, many places were empty and the buildings seemed a little desolate everywhere.
On the fifth day, Jiang Lang received news that nearly 50,000 reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty had arrived in Fukuoka, and a group of firearms arrived this time, and this firearm will be given priority to equip the siege soldiers. However, according to their formation, it will take several days to arrive at Kumamoto.
After receiving this news, Jiang Lang felt a little relieved and was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. Of course, news came from the Komu Army, and their reinforcements also began to reinforce, but the number was not large, and they should be largely intended to be used for defense.
On the sixth day, after getting up, Jiang Lang began to patrol the city after breakfast. However, as soon as he walked out of the city, some subordinates came down to report that they had captured two spies from the Komu Army, one of whom could speak Chinese and kept saying that they wanted to meet the commander.
Jiang Lang suddenly knew that these two people should be Sanquan and Kuyoko Matsushita, so he said to Sun Yuanbiao next to him: "Go and bring them here, I'll wait for them on the city wall!"
Sun Yuanbiao immediately nodded and went to the city wall.
There are many new marks on the city wall, which were blocked by the Ming artillery during the last siege battle. When the Ming Dynasty occupied the city, it was naturally repaired, but the city wall still seemed bumpy. These places were difficult to repair, and there were still many marks on the walls of the city wall, and some places also had faint bloodstains. These bloodstains had penetrated into the bricks of the city wall and turned brown over time.
When the breeze came, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
Jiang Lang held his hands behind his back, looking at the lush green in front of him. He had been to Kou Mu before, but at the time he was just a bodyguard, but now he was an invader. His mood at that time was to protect the safety of important people, so he was extra careful. But this time it was different. He led a powerful army, so he was invading.
"I didn't expect that I would become an invader!"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Sir, they have brought it!"
Sun Yuanbiao's voice came.
Jiang Lang nodded, then waved his hand and asked all the soldiers next to him to go down, then turned around and saw Sanyuan and Kuyoko Matsushita who were disguised were standing behind him, so he smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect to see two of you here!"
Sanquan bowed slightly and said, "If the general uses his troops as good as a god, he has already attacked four cities in just a few days, which really surprised us!"
"Is there anything wrong with this?"
Jiang Lang asked back, "Isn't your purpose to make me attack faster, the better? Now you have also seen it. As you think, I have consumed most of that man's troops and captured four cities. It won't take much time, this Kyushu Island belongs to our Ming Dynasty. Then we will naturally cross the sea and fight according to the original plan! I wonder what you two think?"
Sanquan smiled slightly and said, "Old Master's plan is of course perfect. We believe this, and our master also believes it! That's why we cooperate with the adult!"
"I believe in your master's vision!"
Jiang Lang was not polite at all, and then asked, "Then you two came here today, just to say this to me. If you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush!"
Sanquan laughed and said, "Sir, we can't be mother-in-law or mother anymore. This time we come, our main purpose is to tell you some information!"
"intelligence?"
Jiang Lang murmured in a low voice, then said wonderingly: "I don't know what information you need to come. From this point of view, this information naturally seems very important, and it's okay to say it directly!"
Sanquan didn't say much nonsense, and said, "The Lord captured these four cities very quickly, which has caused a big wave in our dynasty. Not long ago, the shogun General held a meeting. The main problem was how to fight you. Now many people are shocked or afraid of your strength. The General also intends to let us Daming send troops to help, but he was rejected. He believes that he still has the power to expel you from Kyushu Island. Therefore, he is gathering a large army and preparing to cross the sea. What our Lord means is that he hopes that the General can completely eliminate their main force, so that our Lord can have a legitimate reason to start entering that man's territory!"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Even if you don't say it, I know this, but I have to thank you for bringing me this news. So I want to ask how many people there are in their army this time. They gathered 100,000 this time, but now they have been wiped out by me. I guess there are only tens of thousands of people who stay. Now they are running away in a hurry. If there are another 100,000 this time, it will not be enough for me to fight!"
Sanquan nodded and said, "We already know the achievements of the lord, and we have to admit that lord is very good at using troops. Because of this, this time the man gathered nearly 250,000 troops and planned to destroy you in one fell swoop."
"Twenty-five thousand?"
Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and said, "But your information shows that in addition to the people on Kyushu Island, his people are only more than 300,000. Now that he has sent another 250,000, it seems a bit stretched. Why did he get so many troops?"
“Sir, what I said is right!”
Sanquan nodded and said, "Last time he sent 100,000 troops, but most of it has been wiped out by you. This time, most of his 250,000 troops were launched. Although there were a large number of people, his combat effectiveness was not very strong. This is undoubtedly a great advantage. Moreover, when he was dispatched, there were only 100,000 people left on the island. Therefore, our suggestion is to send surprise troops, abandon Kyushu Island, and then attack his island, and attack him with one cannot defend against it!"
Jiang Lang's mind immediately turned around, thought for a while, and said, "The general's opinion is good, but it is not suitable for us. Our agreement has already agreed before. As long as your Daming goal is achieved, this Kyushu Island will be our Ming Dynasty territory. Therefore, we must naturally firmly defend the Ming Dynasty's territory now. Moreover, if you Daming cannot withstand the order of the shogunate and send troops, we may face the situation of attacking on both sides. For us, it will be very unfavorable!"
"Can you believe us?"
Sanquan immediately asked.
Jiang Lang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "It's not that I can't believe you, but this marching and war, so you must be very cautious. I don't want to take this risk, so I still plan to follow my plan and step by step!"
"Wouldn't that be a loss of an opportunity?"
Sanquan seemed a little anxious.
