Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 492
In Kumamoto City, even if the patriarchs of those families want to dedicate Kumamoto to Ye Mo, it still takes time to plan things.

However, during the waiting period, Ye Mo became more and more anxious every day.In the past few days, he has not heard from anyone that anyone in the city quietly ran out at night.This also shows that the city lord did not send anyone to call back the soldiers he sent earlier.

Ye Mo's purpose in choosing to besiege Kumamoto City was to force the city lord of Kumamoto City to recall the soldiers he had sent out.Now, this purpose seems to have failed.

Just when Ye Mo was agonizing over whether he should continue to besiege Kumamoto, he finally began to hear good news.

After Luo Qiu almost blew up the town center of the island nation's civilization, he finally increased the power of gunpowder by several percent on the basis of the original artillery.Although Luo Qiu didn't invent yellow gunpowder at this time, it must be very difficult to compare with ordinary black gunpowder.

You must know that according to the normal historical process, even black gunpowder would not be invented until the Tang Dynasty.Although with the help of the system, some of the civilizations built can make black powder, but it is only standard black powder.

After developing a new type of explosive, Luo Qiu took a large part and sent it to Ye Mo.As for the others, Luo Qiu left them to research them.

In fact, Luo Qiu wanted to keep all the gunpowder for research, but considering that the center of the island country's civilized town had been bombed to a great extent, Luo Qiu reluctantly took out most of the gunpowder.

After Ye Mo got the gunpowder, he just thought about it briefly and decided to use the gunpowder in Kumamoto Castle.Since the Lord of Kumamoto Castle is so calm, Ye Mo doesn't believe that he can really ignore the safety of Kumamoto Castle.

Previously, the Lord of Kumamoto City was able to use Ye Mo to massacre the people to make the people in the city feel scared and had to guard.Then, Ye Mo can take advantage of this and let the people in Kumamoto city force the city lord to call back those soldiers in order to survive.

Moreover, this plan has to be done quickly. If it takes a long time, then Zhou Tai and the others will have to fight with the main navy of the island country.

Just made a little arrangement, Ye Mo used a trebuchet to throw explosives on the wall of Kumamoto City according to the method he used to deal with the Japanese navy in Qingzhou.

The reason why he didn't throw it into the city but bombed the city wall was because Ye Mo knew that although the explosives were powerful, if they were thrown into the city, there would be no other reason than killing a few more people and increasing the fear of the people in the city. the benefits of.

On the contrary, the bombing of the city wall could not cause much damage, but it could deter the Lord of Kumamoto Castle.After all, it is only the city lord who makes the decision, and it is useless to deter other people in the city, right?

"boom!"

The bombardment of the explosives on the city wall only made the defenders near the part of the city wall that were bombarded feel shaken. As for the defenders on the part of the city wall that were bombarded, they had already been blown away by the shock wave. feel.

After the city wall was bombarded twice, the city lord of Kumamoto City hurried to the location where the city wall was.Although he decided not to call those soldiers back, he didn't want Kumamoto City to be lost in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't have let a large number of people escape from the four gates and be killed.

When the city lord of Kumamoto City arrived at the part of the city wall that was bombarded, he looked at the shorter part of the city wall, and his face immediately collapsed.

It's not that the owner of Kumamoto Castle has never seen this kind of situation. When he was on Honshu Island, he was fortunate enough to see an elite army of Oda Nobunaga. A big hole was blown out.

How imaginable the current situation is compared to the damage caused by the iron cannon that the city lord had seen before.

The city lord frowned at this time, he didn't know, besides Oda Nobunaga, who else could have such a weapon and cause such huge damage to the city wall.Moreover, the movement he heard before was almost the same as what he had seen before.

However, the city lord didn't want to believe it at the moment, all this was actually done by someone sent by Oda Nobunaga.

In fact, the city lord does not need to believe it, because all this was not done by Oda Nobunaga.However, for Ye Mo and the others, these city lords and generals of the island country do not yet have a correct understanding, which makes the city lord of Kumamoto Castle feel suspicious of life at this time.

At this time in Kumamoto City, the Patriarchs of those families also rushed to the city wall very quickly at this time. Looking at the city wall that had been blasted with a gap, the Patriarchs looked at each other and felt that the plan had to be accelerated.

Although the gap in the city wall is not enough to threaten the defense of Kumamoto Castle, but since those who besieged the city can blast a gap, who can guarantee that they can't blast a second one?

"City Master, let's go back and unite the family soldiers first, and then come to the city wall to help defend." Looking at the gap, one of the Patriarchs of the family immediately walked up to the City Master, bowed his waist and said to the City Master.

At this time, the city lord is still feeling that Oda Nobunaga may not trust him, or he may have known some secrets that he should not know, which caused the murder.

At this time, after hearing what a Patriarch said, he finally came to his senses.Even if those people were really sent by Oda Nobunaga, what would happen? Could it be that he still couldn't catch them?What's more, the other party didn't reveal their identity, didn't they?

"Okay, hurry up and gather your family soldiers. I want to see what the shady enemy is capable of!" The city lord thought he had the support of all the families in the city, but he seemed very high-spirited.

After those Patriarchs went back, they immediately gathered the soldiers from various families and rushed towards the city wall.

Seeing so many family soldiers rushing over, the Lord of Kumamoto Castle was even more beaming at the moment.With the support of so many people, the city lord of Kumamoto City now has confidence in his heart.

Although it is said that Kumamoto Castle has been besieged for three or four days, so far, except for the time when those people were massacred, they have not even seen clearly who the other party is.The other party didn't even dare to show their faces, which meant that the other party must have a small number of people, or that they had some secrets that could not be seen.

In this case, the city lord is full of confidence.If he can't defend Kumamoto Castle with the help of thousands of people, doesn't that mean he is simply incompetent?
However, what the city lord didn't expect was that after those soldiers climbed up the city wall, they swung their weapons at the officers and soldiers defending the city.

The city lord looked at those soldiers, and suddenly he was dumbfounded.

First, those besieging the city might be people sent by Oda Nobunaga, and then the family soldiers organized by the families in Kumamoto City actually attacked the officers and soldiers guarding the city, which directly collapsed the city lord's worldview.

When the city lord of Kumamoto Castle finally came back to his senses, he found that he had been tied up.

Beside the city lord, the several patriarchs did not shy away from anything in front of him, and immediately began to discuss who to send out of the city to find the person who besieged the city to discuss the matter of dedicating the city.

After hearing the words of those Patriarchs, the city owner almost vomited blood out of breath.Kumamoto Castle was not captured by the enemy, but was taken down by our own people.

However, in a corner that no one noticed, Tian Bifeng slowly touched towards the city wall with a short knife in his hand.
