475 The collision of water and fire
Even if the country is destroyed, he will not leave a single grass for the enemy, this is too powerful, Molière and Gong Cheng They are stupid, especially Gong Cheng He found that the biggest flaw in the whole plan turned out to be King Shangtai, how did this young man let Xiao Lotian brainwash him like this.
"Your Majesty is stupid... Leaving Qingshan without worrying about the lack of firewood, how can governing the country be so reckless......" Gong Cheng didn't finish speaking, only to see a black shadow smash on his face, and he saw that it was still Jin Changsen's official boots.
"Gong Cheng, I am inseparable from you......" Jin Shangshu, who was angrily scolding, pounced on him with his teeth and claws, but unfortunately he was just a civil servant, and he couldn't rush to Gong Cheng's side after rushing several times.
King Shangtai shouted in the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, why do the people of Ryukyu raise us? Why do the new army and the Imperial Forest Army protect us? Isn't it that when we see the righteous name on our heads, the little name left by our ancestors will be used up sooner or later, and the good man will make his own career......
"All the people have raised me, and all the armies have protected me, and that is because I, the king of Shangtai, can give them hope, because I, the king of Shangtai, can lead them to protect this kingdom and protect the good life of all...... This is the fundamental reason why the king of heaven is appointed..."
"Let me surrender? Fuck it, if I watched the French slaughter the new army and civilians, but became the turtle bastard, we Ryukyu would really die...... It was the destruction of the human heart..."
This time, even Molière and Bruce felt that the situation was tricky, and their plan was to threaten the entire kingdom to surrender to them with the lives of the Ryukyu monarchs. But now to let King Shangtai do this, I'm afraid it's counterproductive.
"Do it, Envoy, since they want to die, we'll give them a chance......" Bruce shouted.
"No...... Absolutely not, we France cannot send troops in vain, we must get the dividends of the war, if the king of Champté and these ministers die, we are doomed to get nothing......"
Molière's impatient belly was smoking, "What we want is to subdue this kingdom, we want to colonize this place for a long time in the future, we can't establish a government to rule by ourselves, can we?" Even if we collect taxes, we have to be handled by Ryukyu officials......"
Just as he was struggling, suddenly the sky above his head burst into several deafening cannon sounds, and the Seven Star Mountain Fort and Shuri Castle Fort finally opened fire after getting the fireworks signal.
Liang Kun, who had an injured leg, leaned half of his body against the stone wall, he stretched out his head and scolded angrily in the direction of the pier, although he couldn't hear the sound on the viewing platform in the telescope, but he guessed with his heel that he couldn't leave ten.
"What did Lao Tzu say? You can't talk peacefully, these bastards can't believe it, what's going on now? Open the door and thieves, you are inviting robbers to enter the door...... Open fire, fire at the enemy's battleships ...
The shore forts could only suppress the sea, and there was nothing they could do against the enemy at the docks, and these defenders were full of anger and had nowhere to vent their anger but to pour fire on the sea.
It was not only the fort garrison that was angry, but also the soldiers of the New Army who had just left the city went crazy at this time, and when the colorful signal flares exploded in the sky, all the New Army, militia groups, and student soldiers were stunned.
That is, in a few seconds, there was a big uproar in the team, "It's an emergency signal flare from His Majesty... Oh my God, how could this be, is it that your majesty is in trouble?"
Everyone knows that this kind of colorful signal flare is the signal of the highest level of danger, just like the remnant blood flag, this is the beginning of a decisive counterattack, as soon as such a signal appears, then all orders to retreat will be nullified, either you die or I die.
In the current Ryukyus, there is only one way that a multicolored flare may appear, and that is that King Shangtai has died.
"Majesty is dead? Majesty is dead...... His Majesty asked the French to kill ...... "There is only one voice in the whole city now."
"Back to the teacher...... Kill back...... Kill these foreign devils..."The soldiers rushed back like crazy, and in the end they didn't even care about the queue.
The people and the Imperial Guards who had just persuaded the New Army to leave the city still didn't understand what was going on, and they watched with their mouths open as the New Army went and returned, and their jaws were dropping.
"You, you...... Why are you coming back again......" Those old men and women and children have been so slow to react that they still haven't figured out the situation.
The soldiers who ran wildly looked at these people who were doing bad things with good intentions, and wanted to scold people one by one, but looking at their cowardly expressions and kind eyes, they couldn't say anything.
"You ...... Ah...... "The soldiers couldn't say anything except a long sigh.
Naha has now turned into a furious whirlpool, and King Chantai on the docks is the eye of the storm, and although there is no killing here, it controls the rhythm of the entire war.
Under Molière's orders, the Japanese samurai and a part of the red-clothed French army restrained King Chantai and his men with swords and bayonets, and they were not to be harmed but not to be let go.
The remaining 300 French troops soon formed three firing positions around the viewing platform, and except for the side near the sea, which was not armed, all the shooting shelters were erected in the north, south, and east.
"Soldiers, hold your position, reinforcements from the sea are coming...... Repel the attacks of these barbarians and let the French flag be planted all over the world......"
"Long live the Emperor... Long live France..."The French army that won the first battle was full of momentum.
At this time, the battleships on the sea also began to cruise, one sampan after another was lowered, and the French troops sitting on them began to paddle, and in the sound of the trumpet, fifty or sixty small boats rushed to the pier in the wind and waves.
Liang Kun on the fort was going crazy, he held a telescope in one hand and pointed to the sea with the other, "Leave the French warships alone...... Blow up and kill the soldiers who landed...... Hurry up and ......"
The shore defense cannon began to adjust its muzzle, and after the roar, the sea was flooded with white waves, and the two small boats were overturned in mid-air, and the corpses of the red-clad French soldiers floated on the sea like water ghosts.
This is the most arduous beach-grabbing landing battle, and without strategic deception, we can only rush forward by flesh and blood, and this kind of war cannot be carried out without being elite.
"Dispersion...... The whole army is scattered...... The warriors accelerated and rushed through the barrage coverage area and we were safe...... The envoy and the general have promised that all the riches of the city will be yours......"
"Hooray—" The soldiers were undaunted to paddle harder, and the already sparse flotilla was now even more farther away.
Shells poured into the sea one after another, but they still couldn't stop the rhythm of the French landing.
Molière looked at the overturned boats one after another, he was dripping blood in distress, and finally he couldn't help it, "Bastard, Shantai, don't you want to die? Immediately order the battery to stop bombing...... Otherwise, I'll slaughter the city..."
"Threaten me? huh...... Dream on, I'm waiting for you to kill, and on the Huangquan Road, I can also hold my chest up to see the people who died in battle, even if I die, I will be the lord of the Ryukyus..."
"Okay, you're ruthless enough......" Molière's palms changed several positions in succession, and he almost gave the order to shoot, but in the end he held back.
"Don't think that you can get rid of my accusation without fear of death, I'll tell you the truth, my script is absolutely not allowed to be rewritten..."
Molière scolded angrily in his heart, "Damn it, don't you want to be our puppet? You have no choice, when I slaughter a city, when I kill all the rebels, I will deal with you personally, high dose of morphine, top opium, I heard that there are still people working on something called heroin......"
"King Shangtai, you wait for me, I will train you to be a dog, a drug addict dog who grovels and wags his tail and begs for mercy..."
Molière tore off all his gentlemanly pretenses at this time, and he yelled at General Bruce, "Pass the order, and I will give this city to the brave soldiers in the name of the Emperor...... Slaughter the city... Slaughter the city..."
The beast-like roar made the beast soldiers ignite a fierce fighting spirit, the most primitive desire beat in the blood, and all the soldiers who were preparing for war shouted in unison, "Slaughter the city... Slaughter the city... Slaughter ......"
In the midst of a wolf howl, the earth-shattering footsteps rang out, and the returning Forces nouvelles finally arrived before the French reinforcements landed, their rifles already loaded with bullets, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The open space of the dock was now full of corpses, and the miserable scene made all the soldiers furious, and they picked up Spencer to shoot without the officer's order.
"No...... Look...... His Majesty is still alive, His Majesty has been captured alive..."The officer at the head shouted to stop the soldiers from firing, but the French army could not control so much, and there was a dense gunfire in front of the firing position of the new army, and bullets poured like rain in the smoke of gunpowder.
Bang Bang Bang ...... The soldier who was hit by the bullets spun around several times, and rushed to the front officer with five bullets in the chest, and he could barely support himself with the bayonet in his hand against the stone slab.
"What kind of rotten battle is this...... What kind of bad fight is this...... Prime Minister...... Why don't you come back......" Another volley was fired from the gasp, and the stubborn soldier lay dead in a pool of blood.
King Shang Tai was mad, and he cried out in the crowd, "Fight... Leave me alone...... Fighting, you're fighting... Have you forgotten the Prime Minister's military orders? I cāo, what do you care about me......"
"Shoot, shoot at me...... Even if Lao Tzu dies, he will not be a burden to you...... "King Shangtai has never cried like this in his life, and he feels that the tears are gushing out of his heart.
"There is always one death in life, and the big deal is to die together, I gave up this country, and I also gave up this life today...... Fight, fight and burn..."
At that moment, the king's roar even overpowered the gunfire on the battlefield, and at that moment the new army knew that the colorful flare was the determination of King Shangtai to die.
"Fire...... Fight with them...... Killing one is enough, killing two earns one...... The Forces nouvelles assault ..."
In the roar, countless warriors in light blue military uniforms formed a tidal wave and rushed towards the French, and those French troops in red military uniforms formed an impregnable defense line like lava spewed out by an undersea volcano.
This is the confrontation between water and fire, this is the challenge launched by the unwilling Eastern civilization to the powerful West, and success and failure determine not only the gain or loss of an island, nor the fate of an island country.
