Although Shurijo Castle is not very large, it is also the imperial palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it takes time for soldiers to report back and forth. While waiting, Kariyama Kurigen and Takenaka Inoue turned their heads to look condescendingly at the firelight of Naha Port, their ears filled with shouts of battle that drifted in the wind.

"Takenaka-kun, do you think Xiao Letian is really dead?" asked the elder of the Huashan family suddenly. And Takenaka Inoue pondered slightly, "It's hard to say, the fog hidden ghosts are very strong, plus the ambush in advance, I think there is at least a success rate of six or seven percent." ”

"Haha, you think too highly of those people, and I tell you very clearly that they failed. Not only did Xiao Lotian not die, but the explosion made him even crazier. If you look at the sound of fighting in the distance, it means that Chinese is moving closer to 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 Yashan, the martial arts of the Han people began to weaken little by little, and even if there was a revival of the Ming Dynasty in the middle, it would never reach the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties......"

"Later, when the Manchus entered the customs, the Han people were forced to abolish even their own clothes and crowns, and they dragged ugly braids on their heads, they were completely enslaved, they were nothing more than violent slaves. That's right, it's a slave of violence, no matter whether the emperor is a Mongol or a Manchu, even if we Japanese are their emperors, as long as we master absolute violence, they will obediently be slaves......"

Takenaka Inoue looked at the birch mountain family in confusion and asked puzzledly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little confused, in the process of contact between you and Xiao Letian, my lord, and even when you first saw the book "Westward Journey", your watch was not like this...... To put it mildly, at that time, your admiration for China was endless. ”

As if he had long known the confusion in Takenaka Inoue's heart, the old man of the birchama family smiled slightly, "On the other side of the sea, that ancient and huge empire, is too complicated. Although most of the people are minions, the population base of the empire is unimaginable...... Even if there is only one hero out of 10,000 people, it is a very terrible thing. ”

"Only heroes, a country, a nation, an era, only heroes can promote. It's like the Naba under our feet now, before Xiao Letian came, did you think that these sheep-like Chinese could burst out with such combat power? Therefore, Xiao Lotian must still be alive, because without his encouragement, these scattered sand-like Chinese will quickly transform into the former slaves, and selfishness and greed will once again occupy their hearts......

Just as Takenaka Inoue was listening respectfully to the wisdom of the elder, there was a sudden commotion on the city wall, and when he looked up, he saw the figure of King Shangtai appearing in the light of the torches.

"It's the old ...... of the Birch Mountain family under the city," King Shang Tai suppressed the fear in his heart and finally said a complete sentence, but the trills in the words made Birch Mountain Liyuan want to laugh.

The elder of the Kayama family bowed deeply to King Shangtai and said, "Your Majesty, please open the gate of Shuri Castle, we are here to protect you, there are unidentified thugs in Naha Port, and even the foreigners on the port have begun to go out of the port to hide, and the minister is worried about the safety of His Majesty Xià and has come to protect him." ”

King Shang Tai was a little at a loss, he grabbed the battlement wall and opened his mouth and didn't know how to speak, General Cai Mao beside him secretly sighed in his heart and took over the conversation: "The old family of Huashan, now the city is in chaos, and the enemy situation is unknown. Just in case, I can only say sorry, but Shuri Castle will never open its gates before dawn. ”

Huashan Liyuan straightened up suddenly, and his eyes were shining, "General Cai Mao, I am asking His Majesty, what right do you have to answer instead, can it be said that His Majesty has been placed under house arrest by you? The friendship of Japan and the Ryukyus for more than 200 years can't be exchanged for a little trust?"

"You said that in order to prevent Xiaoxiao, does this also include us Japanese? Great Japan has protected the Ryukyu Kingdom for more than 200 years, and in the end, it can't even get even a little trust?"

"Your ......Majesty, King Shangtai, please don't listen to the slander of the villain, Japan has always been the backer of the Ryukyu royal family, do you want to change the family law of your ancestors?

At this time, Lin Yuanmiao, who was pro-Chinese faction, also walked on the city wall, and he sneered and looked at Kayama Liyuan, "My lord, it is less than an hour before dawn, I don't know why you are so anxious to open the gate of Shuri Castle? ”

"You ......" Huashan Liyuan is now eager to hack these pro-China factions to death one by one, this is really a failed rule, and the pro-China factions have not been killed for more than 200 years. He looked at the two men on the city wall and knew that with them obstructing him, it would be difficult to open the city gate today.

Just as Kashiyama Kurigen was about to form a formation outside the city gate and wait for the dawn, suddenly a herald rushed like crazy, he knelt down in front of the old family and whispered, "My lord, General Yamamoto Kiyoshi has been defeated, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and the thousand foot light is almost completely wiped out......

"Nani! The whole army is annihilated?Yamamoto Kiyoshi led the spear formation with the strongest defense, how could it collapse so quickly? Is he an idiot......?" "Kayama Kuri Gen was going crazy, he never thought that the bad news would come after only more than an hour of separation from Yamamoto Kiyoshi.

"General Yamamoto is still brave in battle, and a thousand feet have caused more than three times as ......much damage," the herald wanted to explain, but Kayama Kuri Yuan raised a kick and kicked him away, "Yaga! If he loses, he loses, even if he kills 30,000 people, what is the use......

The sharp rise and fall of Kayama Liyuan's chest was like pulling a bellows, and he turned his head and shouted at King Shangtai, "Your Majesty, you have been surrounded by traitors, and it has been ascertained that it is Xiao Lotian, a Qing national, who is currently burning and looting in Naha Port, and his men, and the Chinese in the city have become accomplices......"

"Your Majesty, Cai Mao and Lin Yuanmiao beside you have been bought by the Qing people, and they are here to annex the Ryukyu Kingdom......" Without waiting for King Shangtai to reply, Huashan Liyuan directly issued a siege order to his subordinates.

"Warriors of Japan, people of Amaterasu, warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, our ally the Kingdom of the Ryukyus has been framed by a conspiracy by the Seigokus, and the king has been kidnapped...... Duck give!"

At the most critical moment, Huashan Liyuan will definitely not have the slightest hesitation, Yamamoto Qing has now been defeated, and the Qing people are in full swing, if they don't do it now, it will be too late after tomorrow after the daylight.

More than a dozen wooden ladders were lifted, and the walls of Shuri Castle were only less than ten meters high, barely as high as a three-story building, and it was definitely not a fortified castle in military terms, and the Japanese were very experienced in dealing with such a castle.

He didn't care that King Shangtai was still on the city wall, but he raised his left hand high and swung it downward, and then a rain of arrows swooped down from the darkness on the brightly lit city wall, and he shot down one piece at that time.

"May rain hits...... Suppressing them with a continuous rain of arrows, the samurai team is ready to ascend the city, and the ninja team is preparing to assault...... "Kayama Kurigen is not a retainer of the Shimazu family, and he commands the battle without any chaos, and he is extremely iron-blooded, and there is absolutely no indecision at all.

After all, Inoue Takenaka was a civil servant, he could only command the archers to shoot in his own position, and when the siege battle had just begun, he was already shocked by the tragedy of the war, and he realized that the Shimazu family's rule over the Ryukyu Kingdom for more than 200 years was justified.

One by one, the ashigaru set up wooden ladders on the city wall, and it was not these ashigaru who rushed up first, but the samurai with helmets and armor, these low-level samurai of the Shimazu family held swords in their mouths and climbed up quickly, and the archers covered their heads with a rain of arrows, and the Ryukyu Kingdom Imperial Forest Army was pressed and couldn't lift their heads one by one.

Not only the samurai, but also the ninjas in black night suits, these silent battlefield sneak attackers threw ghost claws from their backs, firmly clinging to the castle, and then one by one the black figures climbed up like spirit monkeys, and soon rushed up the city wall with the samurai.

The so-called Imperial Forest Army of the Ryukyu Kingdom had not fought for more than 200 years, and they were unable to organize an effective defense at all, and there was even a humiliating scene in which two or three Japanese samurai shocked more than a dozen soldiers.

"Protect Your Majesty and return to the palace, brothers fight to the death with them! The Ryukyu Kingdom cannot be destroyed, and we swear to die not to die as slaves to the country......" Cai Mao pushed King Shangtai to Lin Yuanmiao, and rushed to the city wall with a big sword in his hand, and rushed to the most dangerous front line with his personally trained guards.

Cai Mao was covered in blood after only a few rounds of killing with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and it was precisely because of his desperate efforts that he temporarily suppressed the madness of the Japanese, and countless Royal Forest soldiers regained their courage and began to fight with the Japanese under his encouragement.

Outside the city, Huashan Liyuan looked at Cai Mao coldly, and sighed in his heart, "Under the rule of two hundred years, there is still a trace of blood and courage left in the Ryukyu Kingdom, but it's a pity, today you are exposed to me, then I will suppress it as soon as possible."

Kayama Liyuan yelled at the head of the city, "General Cai, don't make fearless resistance, let the Ryukyu Kingdom shed a little less blood, I tell you the truth, the Qing country big man you rely on has been blown up at the dock, and the loudest explosion in the middle of the night is when he was buried in the flames......"

"You have no one to rely on, you will definitely lose today......" Huashan Liyuan's words hit Cai Mao's heart like a heavy hammer, and he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and the Venus in front of him was surging. He also heard the loud explosion, and the only people who could use so much gunpowder in Naha Port were the Japanese.

At this moment, behind General Cai Mao, there was a sudden commotion in the deep palace city, and countless maids and subordinates suddenly became chaotic, and there seemed to be a team rushing towards the main hall in the light and shadow.

There was a faint sound 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 in a hurry, and his throat was 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 Japanese dog, a complete minion!"

Huashan Liyuan's ears were very sharp, and as soon as he heard the unusual noise in the city, he had already guessed that ** was not far from ten, and he nodded with satisfaction, "Yo Xi, the rule of Japan for more than 200 years is still effective, and the loyal ministers have a great ......" K
