113 Into the city

On the frenzied battlefield, there is no reason at all, at this time, no matter what people shout, even if they shout long live Xiao Lotian now, they will get the response of everyone present, and the worship of heroes by human beings since ancient times has been branded into the genetic code, which will never be washed away.

Now tens of thousands of Chinese are shouting 'God bless China, God bless Mr. Xiao' Well, everyone will believe that the sky will bless them and Mr. Xiao for the first time. Think about it, yes, who in the world can scold God while still allowing God to help? Mr. Xiao said that if he wants to win, then victory will come, and what is this not a miracle?

Later, Xiao Letian also analyzed this bizarre incident with his subordinates, and in Xiao Letian's explanation, it was common for a few small whirlwinds to appear in the fire.

That night, the port of Naha was almost completely burned down, and the raging flames created a large amount of hot air to rise desperately, and the cold air on the outskirts of the city, especially on the sea, would be the first to be replenished by the ground. In the process of the convergence of cold and warm air masses, it is very common for two forces to become entangled with each other and cause an ignition cyclone or something.

However, Xiao Letian's subordinates have always been dismissive of this kind of scientific explanation, and some people even said, "Even if you are right, why don't so many whirlwinds come sooner or later, but the moment you are covered by feather arrows?

Xiao Letian really wanted to talk to them about probability again, but looking at their stubborn appearance, he finally gave up.

No matter how amazing Xiao Letian's miracles are, the current battlefield is far from the point where he can sleep peacefully, although the Japanese formation has been chaotic, but it has not collapsed, and Kayama Kuriren is shocked and at the same time shows his excellent war command level.

"Steady, everyone, retreat in formation, don't turn your backs to the enemy......" Kayama Kurigen slashed three fleeing ashigaru in a row with a sword, and finally stabilized his position. At this time, it was no longer realistic to attempt to attack Shuri Castle again, and under his organization, the samurai on the city walls fell down one after another through the guò ropes, joined up with the main camp, and retreated to the east.

"Samurai, suppress the ranks around you, retreat in the face of the enemy, and don't use your ass against these people...... The archers covered the shooting, and the pikes forced these Chinese ......"

In the military formation, the samurai trained by Kayama Kurigen himself were walking quickly, and where there was instability, they would go up, and if they encountered a coward, they wanted to run away. Under the brutal suppression, these ashigaru teams finally restored order.

Order is restored, but victory is a dream, the crazy Chinese in Xiao Zi recognition of the flag and miracles under the double encouragement, has become a group of outlaws, without any commander organization, this group of ordinary people can actually launch a wave of thousands of people charge, the continuous killing of the Japanese army in the main formation of the non-stop retreat.

In the process of retreating, Xiao Hexin led people to blast several explosive bags, and the five-kilogram explosives bags collected by Mike became a sharp weapon to disperse the Japanese soldiers. Long twists of gunpowder tumbled in the air, and violent explosions roared in the formation, and the Japanese soldiers had no courage to attack at this time, and if it were not for the samurai's sword suppression, they would have collapsed on the spot.

It's a pity that there are no fragments and projectiles in the explosives bag, and the lethality is really not very good, if Xiao Lotian is given enough time to prepare, ten explosives packs stuffed with iron nails can definitely make all the Japanese completely collapse.

To the east of Shuri Castle was a more dangerous mountain, and there were not many buildings or streets left, and when the Japanese army entered the rocky area, the herald sent by Xiao Lotian finally arrived.

"Lord Xiao has an order, stop the attack and keep your distance from the enemy...... Defend, everyone defends ......" came to give the order to a master of light skills, only to see him light like an antelope walking through the rocks, gradually stabilizing the fanatical feelings of the Chinese.

The battlefield situation is considered to be a stalemate, and at this time the sky is already brighter, Huashan Liyuan sat on the rock, drank a sip of water, sighed lightly, and said, "Now it's up to our navy, if they are still proud, they should be brave enough to open fire, and now only artillery can change the tide of the battle......"

The old man of the Birch Mountain family had just rested for less than two minutes, and Takenaka Inoue's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Lord Birshan...... Kiyoshi Yamamoto is back......" Kurigen turned his head in surprise to see Kiyoshi Yamamoto with a tired face, and he also noticed that a large number of Japanese people had gathered in the southeast.

"My lord, the sinner Yamamoto Kiyoshi pleads to you, I want to apologize for the sins......" Yamamoto Kiyoshi knelt down in front of Kayama Kuri Gen and wept bitterly, he took out his ribs and went to untie the armor of the Nanban, "Because my stupidity has killed countless soldiers in this camp, I just ask you to take care of my wife and children in Kagoshima...... Woo woo woo ...... "Speaking of this, Yamamoto Kiyoshi put his head on the ground and cried bitterly.

Kayama Kuri Gen was not angry, he sighed and said, "Yamamoto-kun, don't be like this, if you say guilty, I am the first sinner, the Satsuma clan sent me here to let me keep the Ryukyu Kingdom, I am the first person in charge, I should be the first to seppuku......"

Takenaka Inoue snatched the rib from Yamamoto Kiyoshi and pulled him up, "Yamamoto-kun, you can gather 20,000 people for us in the chaos, this is the credit, as long as there are people, we can hold this dangerous land." ”

In all fairness, Yamamoto Kiyoshi is still a very competent military general, and after the great rout, he did not blindly flee, but used his identity on the road to collect the rout and the chaotic Japanese people.

Thanks to his unremitting efforts, the ronins, scattered soldiers, and masked Japanese thugs began to snowball together and infiltrate Shuri Castle from the southeastern path, eventually joining the birberg on the hillside.

The elder of the Birch Mountain family patted Yamamoto Kiyoshi on the shoulder, "If you apologize, we'll talk about it later, now our first task is to build a line of defense here." There is no road on this rocky hillside, and the terrain is very dangerous, as long as we can control the commanding heights, it will be difficult for the Qing people to attack it......"

"Now that the sky is getting brighter and brighter, when the battleships on the sea can be clearly positioned, as soon as the cannon sounds, our chance to turn the tables will come...... We didn't lose, we still have hope......"

More than 20,000 Japanese were incorporated into the army, and the crowd began to pick up stones to build temporary positions, and the hillside was busy.

Xiao Lotian also saw the movement of the Japanese at this time, but he didn't have time to beat the water dogs, and his first task now was to enter the city.

The largest Xiao Zi recognition flag is now in Luo Huo's hand, and this tall northern peasant man is holding the flagpole as if he is holding his own life. The young man who hadn't read much of the book had now identified Xiao Lotian as a god, a true dragon son who could command God.

The south gate of Shuri Castle creaked open, and when the Xiao Zi Recognition Flag appeared in Shuri Castle, the entire city was dead silent, and everyone in the city who could breathe was hit by this murderous aura and took half a step back.

At this time, Jin Changsen had already dared not rob His Majesty, he and the attendants around him were stunned one by one, they couldn't understand how Xiao Letian, who only led sixty guards, attacked Shuri City.

Cai Mao...... What are you still looking at stupidly? Don't you hurry up and arrest these rebellions that coerce the king!" Xiao Letian's eyes widened, and Cai Mao, who was frightened, had a layer of white sweat on his back, and the general of the Royal Forest Army rushed up with his subordinates without saying a word.

Don't look at the Ryukyu Imperial Forest Army and the Japanese are afraid of each other, but they are not merciful in dealing with the rebellion among their own people, and the soldiers in armor rush up and tie up the high-ranking people in the crowd, and those miscellaneous fish-like waiters simply don't interrogate at all, and cut off their heads when they push out of Shuri Castle.

Jin Changsen's hands were tied behind his back, and he stared at Xiao Letian dementedly, "You are Mr. Xiao from Shangguo, tsk...... It's not like a scholar, but it's like a killing god. I just want to ask you, what are you going to do with the Ryukyu Kingdom, how are you going to resist the Japanese offensive that ensues, and you must know that Kagoshima is from here, and it's a long time coming......

Xiao Lotian really didn't want to talk nonsense with this kind of ancient thinking Confucian ministers at this time, he wanted to find a hot spring bath full of sulfur smell to take a dip now, and it was best for King Shangtai to send a few more beauties to cool off.

Xiao Letian is really tired, he has never worked so hard in his two lives, he feels that his spirit has been completely exhausted, if he is allowed to sleep, he will definitely be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

But no, he still has to hold on, the situation has not reached the safest moment, and the fear of these Ryukyu monarchs and ministers for the Japanese cannot be wiped out by a night of blitzkrieg.

"Jin Changsen, right? I know that you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it is said that you are in charge of this diplomatic work, so your knowledge should not be so low, right? But your judgment of the situation is as naïve as a child......

Xiao Lotian raised his head and looked around at the monarchs and ministers of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he said bitterly, "Gentlemen, think about it, especially those of you who have read my "Journey to the West", what era is this? This is a great change that has not been seen in 3,000 years, and 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 the commercial tax revenue of your Ryukyu Kingdom has been gradually declining for more than ten years, right? The number of merchant ships docked at your port of Naha has gradually decreased, right? Even if the merchant ships of foreigners come to us, most of them are to supplement food and fresh water, not to do business, right?"

"How do you know?" Jin Changsen looked at Xiao Letian in horror.

"A bunch of stupid hats, Western navigation technology has been developed for hundreds of years, and now there are even clippers that do not rely on the trade winds, the commercial importance of the port of Naha has become less and less, Wankokutsu Liang has long become a piece of chicken ribs, your ability to make money is getting weaker and weaker, and you have long been on the blacklist of the Japanese......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Lotian rushed up and opened his bow left and right and gave Jin Changsen two mouths: "Stupid pig, you don't want to think about it, when the commercial trade of the Ryukyu Kingdom can no longer bring wealth to the Japanese, then what do you have left? What else do you have besides land? What choice do you have other than to be abolished by the Japanese and annexed to the country?"

"Don't you even understand the truth of how a rabbit dies and a dog cooks, and you live to be a dog at such an old age?"
