Chapter 580: Reinforcements
On Kyushu Island, Yama Nakaki Tsubaki didn't have many troops, and the soldiers who had previously reinforced had been eliminated, so they had to mobilize their troops, so they could only mobilize them from the other side of Kyushu Island.
After the Ming Dynasty occupied Zhongjin, it immediately turned Zhongjin into a military base and a city for warships to dock and supply. At the same time, according to Jianglang's order, it began to distribute spies in this sea area and carefully investigate the movements of the Komu Army. After all, the Komu Army had to transport people across the sea, which required a lot of ships. Now the Komu Army did not have many ships, so it was very difficult to transport a large number of soldiers at one time. Moreover, according to Jianglang's analysis, the Komu Army should land soldiers first in the areas they controlled to a large extent, so as to ensure their safety. After all, in the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, there was a Ming navy. Although two years later, the Komu Army's fleet still had no way to compare with the Ming Dynasty in terms of firepower and protection, so they would not risk transporting the soldiers directly to the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and then forcibly landed like Jianglang, and then took the opportunity to seize the city.
The Komu Army is naturally not a stupid person. They also know that since Jiang Lang is good at fighting this kind of war, they naturally know how to deal with this kind of raid. Therefore, they did not intend to use this method to raid. Once they encountered it at sea, they might not have landed, and they would be beaten by the Ming warships before they landed. Therefore, as Jiang Lang expected, they chose to log in in the area they controlled, and then wait for the army to assemble and attack the city together.
Without reinforcements, the Kogi army on Kyushu Island naturally did not attack, but they all looked like they were facing a great enemy.
Jiang Lang did not make any moves at all. He was waiting for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty.
Both sides seemed relatively calm at this time.
However, for the Kogi Army, even if they use sea transportation, they are facing a lot of problems now. First, Kitakyushu and Nakatsu, as the port city, were firmly occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and there were a large number of warships in these two places. Therefore, the local soldiers of the Kogi Army did not dare to pass Shimonoseki and then transported to Kitakyushu, or used the Ube area to transport to Nakatsu. Even if they passed through this sea area, it was very dangerous. So they chose to concentrate their troops and horses first in Hiroshima area, and then transport troops from Hiroshima to Oita, because according to the Ming Dynasty's offensive route, the next target was Oita, which was also an important town on Kyushu Island. As for Nagasaki, although the Kogi Army also had troops there, the Ming Dynasty did not care about it for the time being, but even if the Ming Dynasty did not care about it, they would not dare to make any moves.
Jiang Lang has studied the strength of the Komu Army very thoroughly. At the same time, within the past two years, this spy has been very responsible to thoroughly study some of the avenues within the Komu Army. Therefore, it was found that the Komu Army had to transport large-scale troops, the best place was Hiroshima area, because only in this place can the main force of the Komu Army concentrate, and the road conditions are also very good, which is very suitable for large-scale marches.
As for Hachimanhama, which is closest to Oita, it is also a good transportation route. However, first, the troops on this island are not very sufficient. Second, it occupies most of the ship's strength to transport the main island's troops to Matsuyama, and then march to Hachiyohama. It is not a very good practice to cross the sea to Oita. The troops were delayed very much and significantly increased the march distance. For the Kogi army, which is already like an ant on a hot pan, this is definitely not a good route.
Jianglang, who understood this, had sent a large number of spies to be arranged in the Fenghou Waterway area and began to strictly investigate the movements of the Mujun fleet.
A few days later, nearly 50,000 reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived at Kumamoto.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Lang immediately took his people out of the city gate and rushed up a hillside outside the city. He raised his glasses and saw a long queue on the road leading to Kumamoto. The flags fluttered on the team, which looked very spectacular.
Jiang Lang felt that it was a complete drag on the war. The flag was a symbolic thing, just a few sides, but if there were too many, it would give people a flashy feeling. The seriousness and discipline of the army were diluted a lot.
However, this ancient man has always been like this in war, and the same is true for the Ming Dynasty, so Jiang Lang doesn't have much to say.
As the team approached, the flag could be seen clearly. The word "Yue" was written on the coaching flag, representing the general's surname Yue.
Soon, the team arrived at the mountain pass. Jiang Lang waved his whip and shouted: "Let's go, let's go down to welcome him!"
The other few people ran down with the whip and followed Jianglang. The teams at the foot of the mountain saw someone running down from the mountain, and immediately stopped in front, and then the soldiers bent their bows and arrows.
"General Wang is here, so he can't put down his weapons quickly!"
Sun Yuanbiao shouted loudly at this time.
The soldiers were so clear that they immediately put down their weapons. At the same time, the group ran out of the team. When Jiang Lang saw that the leader was really aware of it, it was Yue Qi. No wonder the general had the word Yue on it, so he went up to him.
Yue Qi and others also came up at this time. After getting off the horse, they knelt on one knee with the generals and said, "I will meet you!"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly, got off the horse, and said, "General Yue doesn't have to be too polite. Thank you for your hard work along the way. I wonder if you have any trouble on this way!"
Yue Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't encounter any trouble. I occasionally encountered a scattered or two scattered gurumen, but before we could beat them, they ran away!"
To be honest, Yue Qi felt a little uncomfortable now. I remember that Jiang Lang was just an inconspicuous soldier under his command. Later, he joined the Jinyiwei and has risen from now on. After making several contributions, he is now at the top of the ministers, and now he has to call him Lord.
Jiang Lang didn't know what Yue Qi was thinking now, so he nodded and said, "Then please ask General Yue and the soldiers to follow me into the city!"
After saying that, he turned over and the horse, and the same was true for Yue Qi and others. After getting on the horse, Yue Qi walked to Jiang Lang.
"I wonder how many weapons the imperial court has added to me this time?"
Jiang Lang asked, this was also his most concerned issue at the moment.
Yue Qi hurriedly reported: "This time, the general will be ordered to reinforce the adults, and he did not dare to delay the journey. The supplies transported this time include 1,000 rifles, 100,000 bullets, 200,000 arrows, 50 artillery pieces, and 1,000 shells! There are also some medicinal materials and other supplies. There is a detailed list, so please check it out!"
Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary now. General Yue has worked hard all the way. I'd better wait until I arrive in the city and take a rest. I'm not in a hurry now!"
Yue Qi nodded.
Soon, everyone crossed the mountain and arrived in front of Kumamoto Castle.
“Woo…!”
The long horn sounded at this time, but it was different from the horn sound during war, but it was a welcome horn sound.
At the same time, the gate of Kumamoto Castle was wide open, and a pair of cavalry rushed out of the gate, and then stood neatly on both sides of the gate to welcome everyone's arrival.
"General Yue, please!"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and made a gesture of asking for help.
"General Wang, please!"
Yue Qi quickly said politely.
When passing through the passage made of these cavalry, Yue Qi couldn't help but look at it. Although the cavalry stood on both sides of the road, they were still motionless, even their war horses.
Yue Qi couldn't help but nodded secretly. This was an elite, you could tell at a glance.
Fifty thousand people and a lot of supplies to enter the city, that was not an easy thing, but naturally someone was worried about this issue. After taking Yue Qi and his accompanying arrived at the temporary meeting hall, Yue Qi handed over a list of not remembering and said, "Please check it out!"
Jiang Lang took the list and looked carefully. He saw that in addition to the necessary supplies, there were also wound medicines, etc., so he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Yue!"
"General Wang, you are polite. This is what the last general should do!"
Yue Qi immediately said, and then asked: "Now my reinforcements have arrived. I wonder when will the lord plan to start attacking against the Mu army?"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Since the reinforcements have arrived, it is naturally close to the date of the attack. However, the soldiers were tired after the soldiers were running around, so I planned to wait until the soldiers had a good rest before sending troops to attack Daota. Now the soldiers transported by the Kogi Army from the local area should be landed in Daita according to our expectations, so I plan to conquer Dafeng before they landed!"
Yue Qi immediately gathered together and said, "The last general Jin listened to the general's order!"
