Naha, who had been disturbed by the rice riots all night, did not gradually calm down until three o'clock in the second half of the night, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians enjoyed a rare time of peace, but this peace was only enjoyed for three hours before it was broken by the rumbling of artillery.

At six o'clock in the morning, with the rising sun, the French fleet began their bombing plan.

"The Glory, the Lyra, the Roma, the Gaul...... Cruising off the coast of Naha Harbor, he was in charge of the bombing of the city...... All remember, abandon military targets and start bombing the city ......"

"Holy, Poseidon, Pious, Rafale...... Leave the waters of the country and start bombing around the island, and carry out indiscriminate strikes against all threatening targets......"

"The army of Kunigami Village has built fortifications for defense, and it is not allowed to attack without an order......"

"The whole army should bear in mind that from now on there will be 24-hour indiscriminate bombing, with civilian targets given priority and military targets secondary...... Don't skimp on ammunition in this bombing, we want them to remember it for a lifetime......"

The flagship, the Glorious, began to issue orders one after another, and as the orders were issued, the French fleet tore off the last fig leaf and officially opened fire on the civilians.

The gun doors of the upper and lower firing decks on the port side of the Glory were all opened, and a salvo of more than 70 guns blew up the block next to Boss Mi into a sea of fire.

Immediately after that, the rest of the warships also chose their own targets and began to bomb indiscriminately, commercial areas, warehouse areas, civilian residential areas...... Not even the fireworks willow alley escaped the catastrophe, with the exception of all the forts, trenches, barracks, and imperial palaces in the Ryukyus.

Boss Mi was woken up by the shaking and rumbling cannons like an earthquake, and it was too late for the rice riot last night, and Boss Mi did not go back to the mountains and forests to hide, but stayed in the shop.

In fact, we can't blame the people for their luck, it is true that in these four days, eighty percent of the French artillery fire was concentrated on military targets, and most of the civilian areas were relatively safe.

"What's going on?Why did it blow up so early today......" The sleeping dazed rice boss had just opened the door of the store, and the scene in front of him stunned him.

The silk village at the end of the street, which was still there last night, turned into a sea of fire today, and screams were heard from the dancing flames.

"Hurry up and save people...... Hurry up and save people......" Boss Mi shouted and rushed forward, but he had only run three or four steps and suddenly there was a bang behind him, and the explosion wave suddenly knocked him to the ground.

The whole world swirled in front of Boss Mi's eyes, his ears filled with sharp chirps, and red blood flowed from his hair, covering his face like a waterfall.

At this time, Boss Mi no longer had the concept of time, and he didn't know how long it took to regain consciousness, but when he cleared his mind a little, he found that all the qiē around him had changed.

The silk village in front of him is burning, the foreign goods store on the left has been blown up, the tavern on the right side of the body has also been sealed by flames, as for the rice shop behind him, it has now burned to a mountain of flames, and the white rice that was finally protected yesterday is now smoking, and the air is full of the smell of popcorn.

"No, why is it all gone...... Boss Mi panicked and didn't know where to go, the explosion points in his field of vision had been connected into a piece, and it was constantly spreading in the city, the sky was full of swishing black shadows, and the black smoke and dust raised by the explosion had covered the entire city.

The city has fallen into complete chaos, the streets are full of terrified people, and even two humanoid monsters that have been burned into torches jumped out in front of Boss Mi's eyes, and fell into the streets with violent screams.

", what kind of evil did Ryukyu do? God, why did you punish us like this......" Boss Mi fell to his knees on the street and wept bitterly.

The brutality of the French enraged all the soldiers guarding the city, and the hilltop batteries defending the city began to counterattack the enemy ships on the sea with angry fire.

"Fire...... Fire...... Don't stop, keep shooting...... "The black artilleryman Max was already mad with anger, if the previous four days were still a contest between soldiers, but today's indiscriminate bombing of civilians by the French completely ignited the anger in the hearts of the defenders.

"Bastard, you have the ability to come at me, what kind of ability is it to attack the common people...... Countless soldiers shouted in their throats, but the French could not hear their shouts at all, and the scale of the bombardment continued to increase.

The guns rumbled on the Seven Star Hill in Gongwei Harbor, and the shore defense batteries counterattacked the French battleships with the highest firing frequency, not so much that they wanted to fight the enemy, but that these batteries wanted to attract the French fire with fierce counterattacks.

"Fire at Lao Tzu...... You have the ability to come at us......" Countless soldiers of the New Army raised their middle fingers at the French while operating the giant cannons.

But today it is also strange that the French did not fight with the batteries at all, and the battleships outside the harbor kept going around in circles in the open sea, and there was no regularity at all, which reduced the accuracy of the guns to almost zero.

This artillery battle made Cai Mao extremely depressed, the target of the shore defense battery was several constantly moving battleships in the far sea, it was very difficult to aim, and the intensive shooting could not hurt the French battleship at all except for making a splash on the sea.

But it was too simple for the French to bomb the city, hundreds of thousands of Naha were in front of them, and the naval guns did not need to be aimed at all, and every shell could bring destruction to the city.

Time passed minute by minute, and the shore defense battery fired for more than two hours, except for two minor injuries to the Glory, the slightest result was not gained, and finally Cai Mao smashed the telescope in anger.

"These bastards, these lunatics...... It's a pity that we don't have a navy, and the Prime Minister is right, a country that doesn't have sea power has no future, and it's really uncomfortable to be beaten......"

At this moment, a herald suddenly ran outside the fortifications, "Report to the general...... The Beishan Observation Post discovered the movement of the French warships, and all the French warships in Kunigami Village retreated, and they bypassed the country and went to the east coast......"

"What? Went to the East Coast? Immediately ordered the army to strengthen its vigilance and beware of enemy landing and sneak attacks......"

Cai Mao still guessed the French plan wrongly, these four warships did not intend to land at all, their only purpose was the various supplies and refugee shanty towns hidden in the mountains of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The main island of the Ryukyus has always been more prosperous in the south than in the north, and more lively in the west than in the east, with Shurijo Castle and Naha Port located in the southwest corner of the island, while most of the rest of the island is mountainous.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is naturally a good place for Tibetan soldiers, Tibetan people, and munitions, and in this complex geographical environment, not to mention the bombing, you may get lost without a guide.

But today the French came prepared, and standing on the deck of the Poseidon was the water dog that had been swimming in the sea last night, and in his hand was the Ryukyu armament map that Gong Cheng had spent a lot of money to prove.

"Yes, this is it...... Do you see that col to the south? Ignore the hillside that obscures the view, there is a large refugee camp on the back of the hillside, where at least tens of thousands of Ryukyuan people are hiding...... Open fire, it's up to you French to get on the spot..."

Boom Boom Boom ...... The four warships, under the command of the water dogs, began to shoot blindly at the back of the hillside, and after two rounds of artillery fire, thick smoke billowed up, and in a short time there were a series of miserable shouts from the Kung Fu col.

"Hahaha, let's see if Lao Tzu is right? Keep bombing, and let's change places after two more rounds of bombing......."

"Do you see the looming village in the northwest corner? That is where Mi Fu, the first grain merchant in the Ryukyus, hid grain, and opened fire...... Blow up his food......"

"Due south, in the corner jungle due south, there is a Ryukyu munitions warehouse...... Fire, don't worry about the head, you just open up and blow it up......"

Under the command of Gong Cheng's subordinates, one secret stronghold after another hidden in the mountains was exposed, and the French finally reaped the greatest results since the start of the war.

At the end of the bombing, even the French officers shook their heads, looking at the excited expressions of the water dogs, everyone was a little puzzled, although this is the Ryukyu Kingdom, but one-third of the population living here are Chinese? Why are they so happy to kill their own people? This nation really can't understand it.

At this point in the war, Shurijo Castle was already in chaos, and although the French did not fire on the Imperial City, they slaughtered the people of the Ryukyus, and King Shangtai was the master of the country in the name of righteousness.

"Why, why do the French know so many hidden strongholds?Where did the inner ghost come from?I will raid his house and destroy his nine tribes......" The young king of Chantai roared over the city walls, and his heart was bleeding every time he saw a new explosion of smoke rise into the air.

"What about Cai Mao? What about Liang Kun? The Prime Minister asked them to protect the Ryukyus, and that's how they protected them...... Shall I allow the French to slaughter my people?"

King Shangtai roared like an angry lion, surrounded by pale ministers of civil and military affairs, and only Jin Changsen dared to step forward to answer for a long time.

"Your Majesty, don't blame the two generals...... Who let us not have a navy in the Ryukyus? Isn't that what it looks like to be beaten passively...... No, can we negotiate with the French?"

Jin Changsen saw that the faces of the surrounding crowd had changed greatly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not surrendering, I just want to use a delaying tactic to drag the enemy, so as to buy us time to lick our wounds......"

"Report ...... According to the report of His Majesty, General Liang Kun took 200 guards and went straight to the head of Beishan Country, and the general said that he would launch a counterattack and annihilate the French army in Guotou Village......"

"The general also said that it is better to capture a group of prisoners for us, otherwise our military morale will collapse if we are passively bombed like this..."

Looking at the herald who fell to the ground, King Shangtai's eyes were full of tears, and he suddenly roared angrily, "Change clothes, I don't wear this cumbersome yellow robe, give me a military uniform, I will drive the army to conquer in person...... My people are bleeding, how can I be indifferent......"

After saying that, King Shangtai ran down the city tower, and now he stabbed the hornet's nest, and the civil officials on the city wall all surrounded him with a bang, hugging his legs one by one, hugging his waist and hugging his waist, and the rest of the people fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty can't, you are now the spiritual pillar of the Ryukyu Kingdom, if you have half an accident, our country will really die..."
