There is no reason to speak of on the fanatical battlefield. No matter what people shout at this time, even if they shout "Long Live Xiao Letian" right now, everyone present will respond. Human beings' worship of heroes has been engraved in the genetic code since ancient times. It is always difficult to wash off.
Now tens of thousands of Chinese are shouting "God bless China, God bless Mr. Xiao." Well, everyone will immediately believe that God will bless them and Mr. Xiao. It's true when you think about it. Who in the world can scold God and still ask God to help? Mr. Xiao said he wanted to win, then victory will come. What is this if not a miracle?
Later, Xiao Letian also analyzed this bizarre incident with his subordinates. In Xiao Letian's explanation, it was normal for several small whirlwinds to appear in the fire scene.
That night, Naha Port was almost completely burned down. The raging flames created a large amount of hot air that desperately rose upward, and the cold air outside the city, especially on the sea, would be replenished against the ground immediately. In the process of the intersection of cold and warm air masses, it is a common thing for the two forces to entangle each other to form an ignition whirlwind or something like that.
However, Xiao Letian's subordinates have always dismissed this scientific explanation. Some even said, "Even if you are right, why do so many cyclones not come sooner or later than you?" What about the moment when the arrows cover it? What scientific explanation can be used to explain this?"
Xiao Letian wanted to talk to them about probability again, but looking at their stubborn looks, he finally gave up.
No matter how amazing Xiao Letian's miracles are, the current battlefield is far from the point where you can sleep peacefully. Although the Japanese formation is in chaos, they have not collapsed. Kashan Rigen is shocked but also shows his outstanding ability. level of war command.
"Stand still, everyone, stand still, form a formation and retreat, don't turn your backs to the enemy..." Kashan Rigen used his tachi to chop three fleeing ashigaru to death, and finally stabilized his position. At this time, it was no longer realistic to attempt to attack Shuri Castle. Under his organization, the samurai on the wall fell down through ropes, merged with the main formation and retreated to the east.
"Warriors, suppress the troops around you, retreat in the face of the enemy, don't point your butts at these Chinese people... Archers cover and shoot, and the spear array drives back these Chinese people..."
In the military formation, the samurai trained by Rigen Kayama were moving quickly. If there was any instability, they would rush forward. If they encountered a coward who wanted to escape, they would strike with a knife. Under brutal suppression, these Ashigaru troops finally restored order.
Order has been restored, but victory is out of the question. Encouraged by the dual recognition of flags and miracles, the crazy Chinese have turned into a group of desperadoes. Without any commander to organize them, this group of ordinary people actually went on their own. Able to launch a wave of charges of thousands of people, the Japanese army's main formation kept retreating with continuous killing blows.
During the retreat, Xiao Hexin and his men also conducted several bag blasts. The five-kilogram bags collected by Mike became a powerful weapon to disperse Japanese soldiers. Long sticks of gunpowder rolled in the air, and violent explosions roared in the military formation. The Japanese soldiers no longer had the courage to attack. If it weren't for the samurai's sword to suppress them, they would have collapsed on the spot. Update as soon as possible
Unfortunately, there were no fragments or projectiles in the bags, so the lethality was really not very good. If Xiao Letian was given enough preparation time, ten bags filled with iron nails would definitely completely collapse all the Japanese.
To the east of Shuri Castle, there are mountains with more dangerous terrain. There are not many buildings and streets here anymore. When the Japanese army entered the rocky area, the messenger sent by Xiao Letian finally arrived.
"Master Xiao has an order, stop attacking, keep a distance from the enemy...defend, everyone defend..." The person who came to pass the order was a light kung fu master. He was walking through the rocks as light as an antelope, and gradually stabilized himself. The enthusiasm of the Chinese people.
The situation on the battlefield was at a stalemate, and the sky was getting brighter at this time. Huashan Liyuan sat on the rock and took a sip of water. He sighed and said, "Now it depends on our navy. If they still have pride, they should Bravely fire, now only artillery can change the situation of the battle..."
The elder of the Kayama family had just rested for two minutes when Takenaka Inoue's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Master Kayama... Yamamoto Kiyoshi is back..." Kalashama Rigen turned his head to look in surprise. He saw a tired-looking Yamamoto Kiyoshi. And he also discovered a large group of Japanese gathered in the southeast. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Sir, the sinner Yamamoto Kiyoshi begs you, and I want to open my belly to apologize..." Yamamoto Kiyoshi knelt down in front of Huashan Liyuan and cried bitterly. He took out his ribs and went to untie the Nanman's armor. "Because of my stupidity, I was killed." There are countless soldiers in this camp, I just ask you to take care of my wife and children in Kagoshima... wu wu wu..." At this point, Yamamoto Kiyoshi put his head on the ground and cried bitterly. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Kaguyama Rigen was not angry. He sighed and said, "Yamamoto-kun, don't be like this. If you are guilty, I am the first sinner. The Satsuma clan sent me here to guard the Ryukyu Kingdom. I am the first responsible." Man, I should be the first to commit seppuku..."
Takenaka Inoue snatched the ribs from Yamamoto Kiyoshi's hands and pulled him up: "Yamamoto-kun, you can gather another 20,000 people for us in the chaos. This is your credit. As long as there are people, we can defend this dangerous place."
To be fair, Yamamoto Kiyoshi is still a very competent military commander. After the great defeat, he did not just flee, but used his identity to gather the defeated troops and chaotic Japanese people on the road. Please come to more and faster chapters.
With his unremitting efforts, the ronin, scattered soldiers and Japanese thugs like hooded flies gradually gathered together like a snowball, and penetrated into Shuri Castle from the southeast path, and finally found their way to Shuri Castle on the hillside and Huashan Liyuan converged.
The elder of the Huashan family patted Yamamoto Kiyoshi on the shoulder, "I'll talk about my apology later. Now our first task is to build a defense line here. There are no roads on this rocky hillside, and the terrain is very dangerous. As long as we can control the commanding heights, the Qing people will be very It’s difficult to attack..."
"Now the sky is getting brighter and brighter. Once the battleships on the sea can be clearly positioned, our chance to make a comeback will come as soon as the cannon fires... Gentlemen! We have not lost, we still have hope..."
Kayama Rigen successfully boosted the morale of the Japanese. More than 20,000 Japanese were incorporated into the army. The crowd began to pick up stones to build temporary positions, and the hillside was busy.
Xiao Letian also saw the movements of the Japanese at this time, but he did not have time to beat up the drowned dog. His first priority now was to enter the city.
The largest Xiaozi recognition flag is now in Luo Huo's hand. This tall northern farm man is holding the flagpole as if he is holding his own life. Young people who have not read many books now regard Xiao Letian as a god, a real dragon emperor who can command God.
The south gate of Shuri Castle creaked open. When the Xiaozi recognition flag appeared in Shuri Castle, the entire city fell into a dead silence. Everyone in the city who could breathe was knocked back half by this overwhelming murderous aura. step. Update as soon as possible
At this time, Jin Changsen no longer dared to rob His Majesty. He and the chamberlains around him were all stunned with fear. They could not understand how Xiao Letian, with only 60 guards, had invaded Shuri City.
"Cai Hao... what are you still looking at? Why don't you hurry up and catch these traitors who are threatening the king!" Xiao Letian's eyes widened, and Cai Hao was frightened to the point of a layer of white hair on his back. The Imperial Forest Army general led his men without saying a word. Just rushed up.
Even though the Ryukyu Guardsmen were timid in fighting the Japanese, they showed no mercy in dealing with the rebellious among their own people. The armored soldiers swarmed up and tied up the high-status people in the crowd, while those waiters who looked like fishes simply refused to do anything. He was interrogated and beheaded as soon as he was pushed out of Shuri Castle.
Jin Changsen's hands were tied behind his back, and he stared at Xiao Letian in a daze. "You are Mr. Xiao from Shangguo, tsk tsk tsk... You really don't look like a scholar, but you look like a murderer. I just want to ask you, How are you going to deal with the Ryukyu Kingdom? How will you resist the subsequent Japanese offensive? You know, Kagoshima is just a few minutes away from here..."
Xiao Letian really didn't want to talk nonsense with such ancient-thinking Confucian officials at this time. He now wanted to find a hot spring bath full of sulfur smell to take a dip. It would be best if King Shang Tai sent some beauties to refresh himself. Woolen cloth.
Xiao Letian was really tired. He had never worked so hard in his two lives. He felt as if his energy and energy had been completely exhausted. If he was allowed to sleep, he would definitely sleep for three days and three nights.
But no, he must persist now. The situation has not reached the safest moment. The fear of the Japanese among the Ryukyu monarchs cannot be eliminated in a night of assault.
"Jin Changsen, right? I know you are the Minister of Rites, and you are supposed to be responsible for all diplomatic work. Shouldn't your knowledge be so low? But your judgment of the situation is as childish as a child..."
Xiao Letian raised his head and looked around at the monarchs and ministers of the Ryukyu Kingdom. He said sadly, "Everyone, think about it carefully, especially those of you who have read "The Journey to the West" written by me. What kind of era is this? This is a great era that has not happened in three thousand years. The situation is changing, this is a great era of great changes in human society..."
"I don't even need to check the accounts of your Ryukyu Kingdom. I know that your Ryukyu Kingdom's business tax revenue has been gradually declining over the past ten years, right? The number of merchant ships docked at your Naha port has also gradually decreased, right? Even if that's the case, right? Most of the merchant ships coming from foreigners are there to replenish food and fresh water, not to do business, right?"
"How did you know?" Jin Changsen looked at Xiao Letian in horror.
"What a bunch of idiots. Western navigation technology has been developed for hundreds of years. Now there are even clipper ships that do not rely on trade winds. The commercial importance of Naha Port has become less and less important. Wanguo Jinliang has long been a piece of cake. It's useless, your ability to make money is getting weaker and weaker now, you have long been on the Japanese blacklist..."
Having said this, Xiao Letian rushed up and opened his bow to give Jin Changsen two mouths: "Stupid pig, you don't even think about it. When the Ryukyu Kingdom's business and trade can no longer bring wealth to the Japanese, what else do you have left? Except Besides land, what else do you have? What choice do you have except for the Japanese to destroy the ancestral temple and annex the country?"
"Don't you even understand the principle of eating a rabbit and dying a dog? How many years have you spent your life like a dog?"
