Although Shuri Castle is not very big, it is still the royal palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it takes time for soldiers to report back and forth. While waiting, Kayama Rigen and Takenaka Inoue turned their heads and looked down at the fire of Naha Port, their ears filled with war cries floating in the wind.
"Mr. Zhuzhong, do you think Xiao Letian is really dead?" Huashan family elder suddenly asked. Takenaka Inoue pondered for a moment, "It's hard to say. The Kirigakure brats are very strong, and with the ambush in advance, I think there is at least a 60-70% success rate."
"Haha, you think too highly of those people. I tell you clearly that they failed. Not only did Xiao Letian not die, but the explosion made him even crazier. Look at the sound of fighting getting closer and closer in the distance. , which shows that the Chinese are approaching Shuri Castle..."
"We Japanese have been studying the Chinese since the Tang Dynasty, and we have never ignored every move on the opposite continent. After updating Yashan for the first time, the martial prowess of the Han people began to weaken little by little. Even if there was a revival of the Ming Dynasty, it would never be the same. It may have reached the level of glory during the Han and Tang Dynasties..."
"Later, when the Manchus entered the country, the Han people were forced to strip away their clothes and wear ugly braids on their heads. They were completely enslaved. They were just violent slaves. Yes, they were violent. Slaves, no matter whether the emperor is Mongolian or Manchu, even if we Japanese become their emperor, as long as we master absolute violence, they will obediently become slaves..."
Takenaka Inoue looked at the Huashan family elder in confusion and asked, "I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. In the process of your contact with Xiao Letian, my lord, even when you first read the book "The Journey to the West", At that time, your behavior was not like this... To be honest, your admiration for China at that time was endless. Updated as soon as possible."
The Hushan family elder seemed to have known the confusion in Takenaka Inoue's heart. He smiled slightly and said, "On the other side of the sea, that ancient and huge empire is too complicated. Although most people are slaves, the population base of such a large empire is We can't imagine... Even if there is only one hero out of ten thousand, it is a very terrible thing."
"Only heroes, a country, a nation, an era, only heroes can promote it. Just like the Naha under our feet now, before Xiao Letian came, did you ever think that these sheep-like Chinese could explode with such fighting power? Therefore, Xiao Letian must still be alive, because without his encouragement, these scattered Chinese people will quickly transform into the slaves they used to be, and selfishness and greed will once again occupy their hearts..."
Just as Takenaka Inoue was listening respectfully to the elder's wisdom, there was a sudden noise on the city wall. When he looked up, he saw the figure of King Shangtai appearing in the light of the torch.
"The person under the city is the elder of the Huashan family..." King Shangtai suppressed the fear in his heart and finally said a complete sentence, but the vibrato in the words made Huashan Liyuan want to laugh.
The elder of the Kayama family bowed deeply to King Shotai and said, "Your Majesty, please open the Shuri Castle Gate. We are here to protect you. Unidentified thugs appeared in Naha Port. Even the foreigners in the port began to leave the port to avoid it. I am worried about Your Majesty." I’m here to protect you.”
King Shangtai was a little at a loss. He grabbed the wall and opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak. General Cai Mao beside him sighed secretly and continued, "Old Huashan family, the city is in chaos now, and the enemy's situation is unknown. The enemy's situation is unclear at the first time. Update: Just in case, I can only say sorry, Shuri Castle will never open its gates before it gets dark."
Kayama Rigen suddenly straightened up, his eyes gleaming, "General Cai Mao, I am asking His Majesty, what right do you have to answer on my behalf? Could it be that His Majesty has been put under house arrest by you? Is it true that the two hundred years of friendship between Japan and Ryukyu? Can’t you get a little bit of trust?”
"You said that in order to prevent Xiaoxiao, does this include us Japanese? Japan has protected the Ryukyu Kingdom for more than 200 years, but in the end it can't even get a little trust?" Kayama Rigen's voice became more and more intense. In the end, I couldn't even control my emotions.
"Your Majesty King Shangtai, please don't listen to the villain's slander. Japan has always been the backer of the Ryukyu royal family. Do you want to change the family law of your ancestors? Your Majesty, please order the city gates to be opened. Let's deal with this chaos together. …”
At this time, Lin Yuanmiao from the pro-China faction also walked up to the city wall. He looked at Huashan Liyuan with a sneer, "My lord, it's less than an hour before dawn. I don't know why you are so anxious to open the gate of Shuri Castle." What? Do you have an ulterior motive? If you want to protect His Majesty, please stand guard outside the city gate. If any thugs come, let us see the bravery of the Japanese soldiers."
"You..." Huashan Liyuan now wants to chop these pro-China factions to death one by one. This is really a failed rule. It has been more than two hundred years and yet all the pro-China factions have not been killed. He looked at the two people on the city wall and knew that it would be difficult to open the city gate today because of their obstruction.
Just when Kayama Rigen was preparing to form a formation outside the city gate and wait for dawn, suddenly a messenger rushed over like crazy. He knelt down in front of the elder and whispered, "Sir, General Yamamoto Kiyoshi was defeated. Where is his current whereabouts?" Unknown, the Senshi Ashigaru army was almost wiped out..."
"Nani! The whole army was wiped out? Yamamoto Kiyoshi led the spear formation with the most powerful defense. How could it collapse so quickly? Is he an idiot..." Kashan Rigen is going crazy. He has absolutely no chance. I thought the bad news came just over an hour after I separated from Yamamoto Kiyoshi.
"General Yamamoto was brave in fighting. A thousand ashigaru caused more than three times the damage..." The ordering soldier wanted to explain, but Kayama Rigen raised his kick and kicked him away. "Baga! Lose!" If he wins, he loses. Even if he kills 30,000 people, what's the use..."
Kayama Rigen's chest rose and fell violently like a bellows. He turned and shouted at King Shangtai, "Your Majesty, you have been surrounded by traitors. I have found out that those who are burning, killing and looting at Naha Port are the Qing people." Xiao Letian and his men, all Chinese people in the city have become accomplices..."
"Your Majesty! Cai Mao and Lin Yuanmiao beside you have been bribed by the Qing people. They are here to annex the Ryukyu Kingdom..." Without waiting for King Shangtai to reply, Kashan Riyuan directly issued an siege order to his men. Update as soon as possible
"The warriors of Japan, the people of Amaterasu, the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, our ally the Ryukyu Kingdom has been framed by the Qing people's conspiracy. The king has been kidnapped. Now I give the order to attack the city immediately... Duck Give it!"
At the most critical moment, Kayama Rigen will never hesitate at all. Now that Yamamoto Kiyoshi has defeated the Qing people, it is the time when his momentum is like a rainbow. If he does not control King Shangtai as soon as possible, it will be too late until daybreak tomorrow.
More than a dozen wooden ladders were carried out. The wall of Shuri Castle is only less than ten meters high, barely as high as a three-story building. It is definitely not a fortified city in terms of military. The Japanese have very rich experience in dealing with such a city. .
Huashan Liyuan didn't care at all that King Shangtai was still on the city wall. He raised his left hand high and then waved it down fiercely. Then a hail of arrows came from the darkness and hit the brightly lit city wall, shooting down one of them.
"The May Rain Attack...suppressed them with a continuous rain of arrows. The samurai team is preparing to climb the city, and the ninja team is preparing to attack..." Kayama Rigen is indeed an important minister of the Shimadzu family. He directs the battle without any chaos and is unusual. Iron-blooded, there is absolutely no trace of indecisiveness.
After all, Takenaka Inoue was a civil servant. He could only command the archers to shoot in his own formation. When the siege battle just started, he was shocked by the brutality of the war. Only then did he understand the Shimazu family's rule of the Ryukyu Kingdom for more than 200 years. It makes sense.
The Ashigaru put up wooden ladders on the city wall one by one. The first ones to rush up were not the Ashigaru but the samurai with helmets and armor. These lower-level samurai of the Shimazu family had tachi in their mouths and climbed up quickly with their hands and feet. Climb, and the archers accurately covered their heads with a rain of arrows. The Ryukyu Kingdom's imperial guards were so suppressed that none of them could lift their heads. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Not only samurai, but also ninjas wearing black night clothes. These silent battlefield sneak attackers threw ghost claws from their backs and clung to the city head tightly, followed by black figures like spirits. He climbed up like a monkey and soon rushed to the city wall with the warriors.
The so-called Imperial Guards of the Ryukyu Kingdom had not fought in more than two hundred years and were unable to organize an effective defense. There were even embarrassing scenes where two or three Japanese samurai were able to overwhelm more than a dozen soldiers.
"Protect His Majesty back to the palace, brothers, fight to the death with them! The Ryukyu Kingdom cannot be destroyed, and we swear to the death as slaves..." Cai Mao pushed King Shangtai to Lin Yuanmiao, and rushed to the city wall with a big sword in his hand, leading his personal guards who had been trained by him. Be on the front line of the most dangerous situations.
Cai Mao held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. After charging for a few rounds, he was already covered in blood. It was precisely because of his desperate efforts that he temporarily suppressed the Japanese madness. With his encouragement, countless Imperial Guards resumed their duties. He regained his courage and started fighting with the Japanese.
Outside the city, Riyuan Kayama looked at Cai Hao coldly and sighed in his heart, "Under two hundred years of rule, the Ryukyu Kingdom still has a trace of bloody courage. But it's a pity. You were exposed in front of me today. Then I We must suppress it as soon as possible.”
Kayama Rigen shouted at the city, "General Cai, stop making fearless resistance and let the Ryukyu Kingdom shed a little less blood. Let me tell you the truth, the big figure of the Qing Dynasty you relied on has been bombed to death." At the dock, the biggest explosion in the middle of the night was when he was buried in the sea of fire..."
"You have no support. You will definitely be defeated today..." Huashan Liyuan's words hit Cai Mao's heart like a heavy hammer. He suddenly felt a pain in his heart and stars were shooting out in front of his eyes. He also heard the huge explosion. Apart from foreigners, the only ones who could use so much gunpowder in Naha Port were the Japanese.
At this moment, behind General Cai Mao, there was a sudden noise in the deep palace city. Countless maids and servants were suddenly in chaos. There seemed to be a team rushing towards the main hall in the light and shadow.
There was a faint voice in the wind: "The Qing people are dead, protect your majesty, open the city gate to welcome the Japanese..." At this time, Cai Mao was so anxious that his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Jin Changsen, you are so shameless. You actually instigated civil strife among your subordinates. You are really a bastard of the Japanese, a complete slave!"
Kayama Riyuan had very sharp ears. As soon as he heard the unusual noises coming from the city, he had already guessed it. He nodded happily, "Yo Xi, Japan's rule of more than two hundred years is still effective, loyal minister." There are a lot of…”
