Chapter 598 Hot Spring Capital 1
Chapter 598: The Hot Spring Capital 1
After hearing Jiang Lang say this, Deng Yuanjue was stunned and said strangely: "Sir, do you think this is just an empty city plan?"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "The Koumu Army has such a strict arrangement. It is obvious that after careful planning, they naturally thought that once we eliminated the soldiers we landed, they would retreat, and we would bombard the city in revenge. After all, it caused a large number of casualties to these people, so do you think there are other people in their city?"
When Deng Yuanjue heard this, he was the same and asked, "What are we going to do now? Don't you attack them?"
Jiang Lang smiled and said, "What else does it mean to attack now? Those Komu soldiers are large in number, and we do not have enough troops to occupy the place after the attack. Instead, we disperse our troops. Why do you have to do this when it is thankless? It's better to search for the Komu army fleet according to the original plan!"
Jiang Lang said this, and Deng Yuanjue was not inconvenient to ask more questions. He immediately let the fleet sail out of this sea area, leaving only the thick black smoke on the shore and the wreckage of fishing boats floating on the sea.
In the following days, the warship sailed along the Komu Army's island for several days and passed many Komu Army's wharfs, but they did not find any Komu Army warships. Deng Yuanjue and others couldn't help but feel anxious, but Jianglang was not anxious. Komu Army had a very long coastline, so it was very difficult to find them. If Komu Army deliberately avoided its own fleet, it would be impossible to play hide-and-seek.
So the Ming fleet changed its original intention to combat and began to destroy the docks of the Komu Army or the cities that rely on the docks, and then left after destroying them. However, the soldiers on the warships never landed on the shore when attacking these docks. This made the Komu Army stare at the vast and heavily damaged warships. However, there was no way. The cannons were seriously insufficient in range and were destroyed by others before they could fire. Even if the cannon hits the cannon, it would not have any effect on the other's hull and could not penetrate the other's hull at all. When others fired, they would be fired and smoked, and there would be many casualties.
Along the way, whether it is a large wharf or a small wharf, the warships will fire a few cannons. In a certain aspect, this is somewhat powerful. However, Jianglang is just trying to show off the breeze now, but it is obvious that this function has also played. Wherever the Ming warships go, from cities to small fishing villages, they all escaped cleanly, and almost no living mouth can be seen. In addition to those cities, there are soldiers from the Mu Army who are holding on, but it can be seen that they are all frightened, sticking themselves to the city wall, and then quietly revealing their heads to look at the large fleet on the sea.
When the fleet arrived at Gaosong, it finally encountered a fleet of the Komu Army. However, there were not many fleets. They showed enough courage to face the Ming warships. However, it was obvious that they were not the Ming fleet's warships at all. After a short time, they were defeated. The originally aggressive warships suddenly became a pile of rotten wood floating on the sea, burning wildly. As for the Komu Army, they were summoned by their great gods and returned to the embrace of the Lord.
In terms of quantity and strength, the battle was not considered intense at all. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty felt that the Mu Jun had been sunk before they could even get into trouble.
Even Deng Yuanjue couldn't help but complain: "It's a bit disappointing to encounter an enemy ship after finally meeting such an inability to fight!"
Jiang Lang shook his head slightly. It was estimated that these warships were all warships that were too late to evacuate. The Komu Army naturally knew that even if they were of the same number, they might not be able to win, let alone just ten warships.
Holding up your glasses and looking at the big city in front of you, the city walls can be compared with the Dataka after being reinforced. It seems that you are quite concerned about the Dataka artillery. Of course, this also means that the Ming Dynasty will take a lot of effort to seize this city.
However, Jiang Lang did not intend to attack the city rashly. After looking at it, he immediately let the warship jump and headed towards the other side. Now there is not much food and fresh water on the warship, and he needs to go back to the port to replenish it. This is also a big factor restricting the warship.
But there are no big harbor cities on the other side of the shore, and only small fishing villages are small, so the warships did not spend much time on these small fishing villages.
On Kyushu Road, after Yue Qi quickly captured Yangang, he quickly continued to work hard to eliminate several small cities such as Gao Tong, Miyazaki, and Hinan. At the same time, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty also arrived again and captured cities such as Kawanet. The remaining soldiers and the people who had no ships crossing the sea hid in the Wuma Mountain area, which was more than 1,700 meters high. In such a dense forest, it was not very easy to find the people of the Komu Army, and there were a lot of people escaping into the mountains, so it was not easy to wipe them out. After all, the mountains and forests were not suitable for the advancement of heavy firepower. Another point is that the mountains and forests are not suitable for the development of troops. It is actually not easier to deal with the Komu Army who was hiding into the mountains and forests than to attack a city of the Komu Army.
As a general, Yue Qi naturally understood this, so he simply gave up the idea of going into the mountains to wipe out these Kogi troops and concentrated his troops on Kagoshima, another city in the Kogi army on Kyushu Island, Kagoshima.
Later, Kagoshima was obviously a space base for Kogi and also a very famous leisure island. However, now it is just a small city hidden in the forest. After meeting with another general and his ties, a large army of more than 100,000 in the Ming Dynasty had gathered under this small island. The 100,000 troops were somewhat like a small topic.
However, whether it is a big deal or a small deal, the Ming Dynasty naturally decided to take over this city. At the same time, this small county town has basically concentrated the last force of the Kou Mu Army, and of course it should not be underestimated.
Of course, besides this place, there is another place that has not been attacked for the time being, that is Nagasaki. However, it is not something that Yue Qi needs to worry about when he handed over to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who landed in the future. Yue Qi wants to do now, even if it is how to attack Kagoshima.
At this time, it had been more than a half month since they set out. After all, attacking the city was not an easy task, and it was naturally very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
After taking the fleet around, Jianglang returned to Oita. Then he learned that Yue Qi was leading his troops to Kagoshima and immediately went north. When the Ming Dynasty teams met at Kagoshima City, Jianglang also happened to arrive.
When he heard Jiang Lang coming, Yue Qi, Yang Shijie and other generals came out to greet him immediately. Yang Shijie is now proud and has won battles all the way. Moreover, the Komu Army always fled in panic. He fought several battles of all sizes and wiped out most of the Komu Army. If he continues like this, as long as he returns to the capital, the position of Minister of War will definitely be his own pocket in the future.
As for Yue Qi, he had only half of the tens of thousands of imperial guards he brought along along the way, but the remaining half was definitely a real elite.
"See General!"
The generals said in unison at this time.
Jiang Lang waved his hand, looked up at the small city in front of him, and smiled and said, "General Yue is very good. After capturing this Kagoshima, the entire Kitakyushu can be regarded as our land!"
Yue Qi hurriedly bowed and said, "It all depends on the general's wise decision!"
Jiang Lang waved his hand and smiled, "Don't put a high hat on me. It's your credit all the way, and it has nothing to do with me. As for this so-called wise decision, it's naturally even more impossible. I just took the navy soldiers to bully Komu Jun on the other side. Unfortunately, I didn't get much money!"
After saying that, Jiang Lang pointed to the county town in front of him and said, "What is the specific situation now? Tell me about it!"
After saying that, he didn't enter the tent and walked forward.
Yue Qi hurriedly followed behind and said, "It has been discovered that there are nearly 10,000 people in the Komu Army, including the original garrison of 20,000, and the remaining tens of thousands of people are deserters from other cities. These deserters are now scared by us and do not have great combat power, so the force that resists me is completely the more than 20,000 people!"
After a silence, Yue Qi said again: "There is another problem. Now it has been discovered that the remaining soldiers who have approached tens of thousands of people are still hiding in Kirishima Mountain!"
"Don't worry about them!"
