Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 494 Kyoto Fleet
After Di Yeqingyun brought Ye Mo's conditions back to Kumamoto City, the Patriarchs agreed after only discussing for a while.

Although the connection between the island country and the Han Dynasty was not close at this time, it was precisely because of this that the Han Dynasty was like a higher-level world existence in the eyes of the people of these island countries.

Even if the island country in this period, under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga, regards occupying the territory of the Han Dynasty as the biggest goal of the island country's development, there is still no way to prevent those families in the island country who do not have much power but have a little money from advocating the Han Dynasty.

Kumamoto Castle was not originally located on Honshu Island, the most prosperous island country. If it weren't for the fact that there is a coast near Kumamoto suitable for the construction of a seaport, then Kumamoto would not have the scale it is today.

Similarly, it is precisely because Kumamoto Castle started with the development of the maritime industry that the families in Kumamoto Castle know more about the prosperity of the Han Dynasty than people in other parts of the island country.Therefore, after Di Ye Qingyun came back and told Ye Mo's conditions, those people really had no reason to refuse.

Of course, the main reason is that if they don't agree, their lives will be lost.That being the case, what is there to hesitate?

The patriarchs of those families agreed to Ye Mo's request, and Di Yeqingyun went out of the city again to speak to Ye Mo the opinions of those patriarchs.At the same time, in order to show the sincerity of those families, they all sent their direct descendants to join Di Ye Qingyun as hostages.

Pledging those people, Ye Mo calmly followed Di Yeqingyun to Kumamoto City.

After entering Kumamoto City and reconciling with the heads of those families, Ye Mo did not reveal his identity, but only said that he was a person who had lived in Dahan for a period of time.

Anyway, no matter what Ye Mo said, those people couldn't doubt it, even if they doubted it, it would be useless, wouldn't it?
In short, after some discussions, Ye Mo fully supported Di Yeqingyun to temporarily perform the duties of the city lord to appease the people of the city.And the heads of other families can also hold a position in Kumamoto City temporarily.However, their duties are not hereditary.If their descendants do not know how to learn Chinese, then their positions should be replaced by others.

Ye Mo didn't expect to win the Kumamoto Castle side.And at this time, even if those family heads are willing to dedicate the city, Ye Mo does not intend to take charge of Kumamoto himself.Before the system island nation's civilization developed, it was impossible for Ye Mo to put himself on the table.

At sea, the fleet led by Zhou Tai and others finally encountered the main fleet of the island country.

The main fleet of the island country is not the one that Zhou Tai and the others encountered before.The island navy that Zhou Tai and the others had seen before was just the local navy of the island, and the real main force was the one trained by Oda Nobunaga himself.

The appearance of Zhou Tai and others this time also made the island country feel a certain threat.Therefore, the main fleet of the island country, which has been stationed near Honshu Island, also directly dispatched one of the three Kyoto fleets.

At the same time, this fleet gathered a large number of local fleets, and the number of warships in it was probably no less than five hundred.

The two armies met, although Zhou Tai used a telescope to spot the island nation's fleet first.However, the number of warships in the fleet led by Zhou Tai also reached more than a hundred ships, even if Zhou Tai wanted to avoid the enemy's edge, it was impossible.

Since there is no way to avoid the enemy's edge, Zhou Tai will not be afraid of the island country's navy.

Taking advantage of being the first to spot the enemy, Zhou Tai let the ten gunboats fire first, catching the island navy by surprise.However, before Zhou Tai could be happy for a long time, he discovered through the binoculars that dozens of large iron balls also flew out from the navy fleet of the island country.

"No, hurry up and disperse!" Looking at the iron ball flying out of the opponent's fleet, Zhou Tai didn't know what it was.It's just that Zhou Tai's complexion changed just after the order was issued, and those shells also fell into the formation of Zhou Tai's fleet.

Fortunately, they are above the sea, and they are far enough apart from each other.Moreover, at the forefront of all the fleets are the twenty turtle ships. With the turtle shell-like defense, they can withstand this round of attack.

Seeing that confronting the island nation's navy would not be able to gain advantage, Zhou Tai also made a decisive decision and ordered the turtle boat and fire-breathing boat to directly charge towards the enemy fleet.As for the twenty demolition ships, they took advantage of their small size and fast speed, and circled directly from the flanks, waiting for an opportunity to blow up the enemy's flagship or gunboat.

The main naval fleet of the island country had never fought against Zhou Tai and the others, so when they saw Zhou Tai and the others rushing over, not only did they not have the slightest worry, but they thought it was Zhou Tai and the others jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Those local fleets had fought against Zhou Tai and the others once, but when the main fleet came up, they forced Zhou Tai and the others to give up the gunboat bombardment and could only rush up and engage in close combat.In addition, the Kyoto fleet has no random thoughts at this time, so they have a backbone in their hearts.

However, some things are not what they thought they would be.

Twenty turtle ships rushed into the island army's fleet, and there was no ship that could stop them.What's more, the turtle ship is also equipped with artillery, but under the thick plate armor, the range of those artillery is shortened.

Because of the thick plate armor of the turtle ship, the turtle ship was born for melee combat.Coupled with the equipped artillery, it will only make it more of a nightmare for the enemy.

It would be fine if there were only twenty turtle ships, but after these twenty turtle ships, there were thirty fire-breathing ships.Thirty fire dragons were flying in the island country's fleet, and what was startled was not a pool of gulls and herons, but a mass of dead souls.

Sea-going ships need to be soaked in tung oil for a long time to prevent seawater from corroding and soaking.Especially the sails, if they are wet by the sea, it is easy to cause the center of gravity of the ship to be too high, which will cause the ship to capsize.Therefore, those sails are almost fished out of the oil.

At this time, with a little spark, the fire on those ships spread rapidly.

After the warships of those island countries caught fire, there were two different reactions immediately.Among them, after the ships of the fleets in various places caught fire, the first thing they thought of was to start fighting for their lives.

And the burning ships of the Kyoto Fleet, instead of going to fight the fire after they caught fire, they voluntarily rammed towards Zhou Tai's fleet.

Many fire-breathing ships couldn't dodge in time, so they collided with those burning island fleets, and finally turned into a huge spark on the sea together, and finally fell into the sea.

Zhou Tai stood on the warship outside the battlefield, watching the tragic battle situation in the battlefield, Zhou Tai couldn't help but feel palpitations.The fleet of the island country is not as simple as it seemed before.

However, Zhou Tai couldn't help feeling rejoicing at this time.If it weren't for the island navy's underestimation of the enemy, with the island navy's more than 500 ships, it would be no problem at all to send Zhou Tai and the others into the sea.

At this time, because the island nation's Kyoto fleet underestimated the enemy, it not only allowed Zhou Tai and his supervision to escape, but also made the island nation's team have to accept the defeat that would have been victorious.

"Decree, all warships, press on, don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!" Watching the anxious battle on the battlefield, Zhou Tai also saw the timing, and led fifty warships, all the fleets heading towards the island country pounce.

Zhou Tai did this because he could see that some ships in the island nation's fleet were different from other ships.Zhou Tai didn't want to let go of any of those ships.
