- "My dear, how long do you think it will take us to end the war on the battlefield?"
The march was quite boring, so Emma rode up to Zhao Hongyu and chatted with him.
Sarah was one horse behind and did not follow Emma to join in the fun.
Looking sideways at Emma, ??Zhao Hongyu smiled and said: "It won't take too long. In fact, Kyushu is not big. It's just that I can't give you a very accurate answer. After all, although we have the initiative and advantage, , but there are still many enemies in Kyushu that we need time to eliminate."
Regarding Zhao Hongyu¡¯s answer, Emma did not get the answer she wanted.
If possible, she hoped that her husband could tell her that the war would end tomorrow.
Because the little girl is now a little tired of living in Japan.
After all, Emma is still young and she is curious about everything, but this curiosity and novelty disappear quickly.
When she first came to the East, everything here felt new to her, but now she has completely lost interest.
Besides, Zhao Hongyu has indeed stayed in Japan for a long time.
Since they first came to the East, from the time they landed in Osaka Commercial Town until now, almost two months have passed.
And in the past two months, the main theme was fighting, which did not allow Emma to fully experience the customs and customs of the East, so it is normal for the little girl to lose the sense of freshness.
At the same time, the Japanese were indeed not doing well in the cities of this era.
This makes Emma, ??who has seen the prosperity of Manhattan in America, unable to take the city of Japan in her eyes or take it to heart.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? since the cities in Europe are the only cities in Europe, can be regarded as attractive to Emma.
But the problem is that cities in Europe have a big problem, that is, the pollution problem in European cities in this era is very serious, which makes Emma a little unbearable.
Think about it, the whole city is plunged into cesspool, what kind of environment is that?
terrible.
"I hope we can resolve the matter here as soon as possible, and then go to the country called Ming Dynasty. I have been hearing you talk about the prosperity of that country, but I am very eager to see it."
Emma acted coquettishly towards Zhao Hongyu, which made Zhao Hongyu feel cute.
Hearing what Emma said, Zhao Hongyu also felt that he had stayed in Japan for too long.
However, he couldn't leave things here alone and head to Ming Dynasty.
After all, he has a complete plan in his heart, and controlling Kyushu is a key part of this plan.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave immediately. He must solve the problem in Kyushu before he can take Emma and Sara to the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu coaxed Emma and said: "Don't be anxious, just be patient for a while. I think it won't take long to finish the things here, and then I can take you and Sara to Daming." Yeah." Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and pinched Emma's face gently.
Emma nodded: "Okay, I also know that things here are very important, and I don't really want you to drop everything and leave now. I'm just complaining to let you know, otherwise I will still I¡¯m afraid you will forget this matter.¡±
After listening to Emma¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu felt dumbfounded.
But there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Emma was still a child, so he couldn't treat her like an adult.
As a child, there are always some privileges.
??For example, acting like a baby, and saying random and irrelevant things.
In this regard, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to seriously argue with her.
"Okay, okay, my most lovely wife, I have kept these words in my heart and I will never forget them." Zhao Hongyu nodded to Emma in a dumbfounded voice, saying that he would definitely remember this matter. In my heart, I dare not forget it at all.
After getting this guarantee from Zhao Hongyu, Emma let him go and did not continue to struggle with this issue.
At this time, the Japanese country has entered winter, and the weather has become cold.
Although Kyushu is located in the south of Japan, its geographical location is the same as the north of the Yangtze River on the Chinese mainland, so the climate is not that warm.
Good??Zhao Hongyu had already been prepared for this. He, Emma, ??Sarah, and Hattori Chizuru all put on furry coats or cotton coats.
Therefore, I didn¡¯t feel too cold.
The scouts who were sent out earlier have withdrawn at this time.
The scout team leader rode his horse to Zhao Hongyu, reined in the reins, saluted and said loudly to him: "Your Highness, the front is Shiliang City. Our army is expected to arrive at the city in an hour. Please click to get ready." . We have not found any enemy troops nearby, and there are no suspicious people."
After listening to the report of the scout team leader, Zhao Hongyu put away his smile and became serious.
"How is the environment near Shiliang City?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
"Your Highness, after our investigation, we found that Shiliang City was built on a hill and has a moat more than two meters wide. Its high walls are thick and easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the same time, there are many potholes around it. , which is very detrimental to our army¡¯s formation.¡±
After listening to what the scout said, Zhao Hongyu's expression gradually became serious.
Because he heard from the report of the scout team leader, it seemed that Shiliang City in front of him might be the first troublesome city he encountered since he sent out troops.
"Continue to investigate and expand the scope. I need to understand everything around me in real time." Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and asked the scout team leader to continue investigating, then turned around and looked at Hattori Chizuru who was following him: "Chizuru, send a few Iga ninja troops to sneak into Shira Castle. I need to know the details of the defenders in the city and their movements. These scouts cannot do that."
Since it is very likely that Shiliang City is a difficult nut to crack, what I have to do now is to try to understand all the situations in Chen Nei.
Only in this way can he make the most secure arrangements.
After getting Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order, Hattori Chizuru nodded. He didn¡¯t know how she did it. She didn¡¯t see her speak or make any movements. Eight or nine of the Iga ninjas who followed the team disappeared.
"I hope Shiliang City is not that troublesome." Zhao Hongyu said to himself after Hattori Chizuru nodded to him.
Shiliang City is located fifteen miles south of Luerwan in Kyushu. It is a city built on a mountain.
Because the entire city is built against a mountain, the city's defense has been greatly improved. It is a typical city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
During the Warring States Period, Yamaguchi Shigenobu¡¯s ancestors, who were based in the Satsuma Domain, relied on this fort to establish themselves in Kyushu. Throughout the entire Warring States period, no one has ever been able to capture Shiliang City.
Therefore, in Kyushu, Shiliang City also has the reputation of a city that never falls.
The height of the city wall of Shiliang City is about twelve meters, and the wall is smooth and steep, making it difficult to climb. Common siege equipment, such as ladders, are of no use in front of this city.
At the same time, a winding snake-like road was built in the city, and nine inner city passes were set up, which was equivalent to nine invisible obstacles added to the entire city.
If an enemy breaks through the first city gate, it actually means nothing to Shiliang City, because they still have to face the same nine city gates in front of the enemy.
But because of the narrow curves in the inner city, it is not conducive to arranging troops, which will cause heavy losses to the enemy attacking the city.
It is precisely because of this design that Shiliang City lasted throughout the Warring States Period and was not captured.
At the same time, the area around the city is full of potholes, making it impossible for the army to fully deploy. This is also an obstacle for the enemies attacking Shiliang City.
Of course Zhao Hongyu would not understand this. After all, he is not a Japanese of this era.
Hattori Chizuru knew a little bit about it, so she took this opportunity to describe Shiliang Castle to Zhao Hongyu.
Hiss!
After listening to Hattori Chizuru¡¯s description, Zhao Hongyu suddenly took a breath of air.
Although he hasn¡¯t seen Shiliang Castle yet, relying on Hattori Chizuru¡¯s description, Zhao Hongyu can imagine what this might look like as a troublesome castle.
If it is true, as Chizuru Hattori said, that the inner castle road in this city is narrow and there are nine passes circling up, then it will be really troublesome to capture this city.
Although Zhao Hongyu has artillery, it is very troublesome to move the artillery.
Especially on the inner city winding road of Shiliang City, it will become more difficult.
Basically, when it comes to circling the mountain road, it is impossible for artillery to be of use.
By then, if you want to seize this city, the Imperial Army soldiers will have to use their lives to fill it.
This is the last thing Zhao Hongyu wants to foresee, and the situation he most hopes to avoid.
He could even use his imagination to imagine such a scene in his mind. When he led his army to attack along the winding mountain road, the enemies on the winding mountain road on the upper level could easily attack them. .
¡°Grandma, isn¡¯t this just a passive beating?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu felt a chill running down his back, and his eyelids were twitching at the same time.
No!
You must not let such a thing happen to yourself, absolutely not.
Therefore, I must think of a better way to solve this problem.
However, after much deliberation, Zhao Hongyu really can¡¯t think of a good solution for the time being. After all, he hasn¡¯t seen what Shiliang City looks like yet.
Therefore, he cannot come up with a plan now.
Only when he arrived at Shiliang Castle and saw the city that Hattori Chizuru called Kyushu's "Immortal City" could he slowly come up with a plan.
¡°Oh my God, could it be that because I was too successful, God started to give me problems?¡±
Zhao Hongyu lamented in his heart.
However, Zhao Hongyu thought again and realized that there was no need to think too badly about things.
After all, he still doesn¡¯t know how many defenders there are in Shiliang City.
If the number of defenders is not large, then this matter will not become too bad.
You must know that after the battle of Mirokuhara, each of the thirteen daimyo families in Kyushu suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, Satsuma Domain may not necessarily be an exception.
?????????????????????????????????? If soldiers are also deployed from Shiliang City, and the garrison strength in the city is suddenly reduced, then I will have a great chance.
Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought of this problem, which suddenly made him feel better.
"Well, things don't seem to be too bad. Our Maitreya Plains inflicted heavy losses on the Kyushu Allied Forces. Therefore, the thirteen famous names who came to Kyushu were basically severely damaged." Zhao Hongyu seemed to be talking to himself, but He spoke as if he was talking to Hattori Chizuru. "So if there are not enough defenders in Shiliang City, then it might be an opportunity for us."
After hearing this, Hattori Chizuru, who was beside Zhao Hongyu, nodded and agreed: "I also think that the number of defenders in Shiliang City will not be too many. After all, we killed a lot of Kyushu soldiers in Mirokuhara. But now we We don¡¯t know much about the situation in Shiliang City, so we can¡¯t make a very effective judgment. We can only wait until the ninja people come back before we make a decision.¡±
Hattori Chizuru told the truth, and Zhao Hongyu nodded in agreement.
At this time, it is useless for him to just think about it. It is better to wait for the ninjas to come back from Shiliang City and make plans.
After all, when the Ninja people come back, they will definitely bring detailed intelligence information.
And with that effective intelligence information, you can accurately make reasonable arrangements.
What he is thinking about here now is simply worrying¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
?? Tezuo Town and Jinjiang Town, these two small towns with a population of less than 500 people, are located in Luerwan, on the seaside at the southern end of Shiliang City.
Usually, the people in these two towns make a living by fishing. After all, it is easier to make a living in the sea in Japan, so most of the residents of many coastal villages and towns live as fishermen.
Of course, there are a lot of fields around these two beings, but because it is already winter, no one is farming.
Originally, there were very few ships traveling in Luerwan, so these two coastal villages and towns basically saw few outsiders. But it was different today. There were suddenly many more Nanman people in these two small villages.
After these southern barbarians landed, they called the people in the two villages and towns out of their homes, tied them into strings and drove them away from existence.
When they left the village, these Nanman people actually set a fire and burned down the whole village.
Not far away on the sea, a dozen ships flying Portuguese flags were parked there quietly.
"Da Roderney"?, we have discovered traces of the Song Empire army. They are marching towards Shira Castle, the eastern city of Satsuma Domain. Do we need to catch up? "
A European swordsman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a rapier hanging from his waist came to report to a guy who looked like a boss.
"Speed ??up the march, we need to join this feast. I hope it's not too late, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Having completed the task entrusted by Zhao Hongyu, the Portuguese Roderney, who hurried back, suddenly landed from Luerwan for some reason and destroyed two villages.
I don¡¯t know what feast he is talking about.
¡°And what is his purpose of catching up with Zhao Hongyu¡¯s army? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
