Chapter 140: The Capture of Naha

Xingjiu Shiraki decided to send troops, and someone beside him persuaded him: "General, now that the city lord is not here, our top priority is to find the city lord first." As for Jiang Huanyan, we closed our doors without fighting, and forgive him for not daring to attack the city directly. ”

Xingjiu Baimu shook his head: "Then where did Jiang Huanyan come to attack the city, every time they came over in the past, they robbed the merchant ships in the port. Now these merchants have complained to us because of the sea ban, and if the cargo ship is robbed by Jiang Huanyan again, it will be difficult to appease them. ”

"Besides, Jiang Huanyan chose to attack us at this time, I guess the city lord Bacheng was captured by him by someone he sent, and I can only rescue the city lord by going out to fight and arrest Jiang Huanyan alive. Say no more, and get ready for battle. ”

Unlike other places, Naha relies on trade taxes for most of the city's financial revenue, so merchants also have a great say in Naha.

Hearing the news of the enemy attack, Naha's merchants rushed to the docks and hired workers to unload the goods from the ship, so as not to cause a war and harm their merchant ships.

Yukihisa Shiraki sailed out of Naha Port with eighty warships and headed in the direction of Jiang Huanyan.

"Jiang Huanyan, you are a dignified prince, and you bring troops to me every year to rob, is there a shame?" Xingjiu Baimu looked at Jiang Huanyan and was a little angry.

Jiang Huanyan didn't care about the question of face: "Okay, let's meet again, why are you bold this time, didn't you all shrink in the city before?" Now I will give you half an hour, and withdraw quickly, and I will leave after taking these merchant ships, and I will not go to fight your Naba City. ”

Xingjiu Baimu said angrily: "Jiang Huanyan, you deceive people too much, these merchant ships are also the property of my Naba, how can you say that you can rob them." After saying that, Xingjiu Baimu led the army and rushed over.

Jiang Huanyan saw that Xingjiu Baimu was angry, and he was in the middle of it, and he also led the army to meet the battle, and the two armies fought for half an hour, and the Nujiao Gang gradually fell into the disadvantage because of the lack of boats, of course, there was also Jiang Huanyan's deliberate release of water.

Jiang Huanyan looked at the battlefield and felt that it was almost over, and ordered the whole army to retreat.

How could Xingjiu Shiraki let go of this opportunity to defeat the first person in the naval battle, and led the army to chase behind. After chasing for most of the day, Xingjiu Shiraki suddenly found that a water army also appeared behind him.

Xingjiu Shiraki felt bad, and quickly ordered to stop the pursuit, intending to see the situation first and then respond.

As soon as Xingjiu's warship stopped, Jiang Huanyan also stopped escaping, and turned the bow of the ship, showing signs of killing back.

Although he guessed that he might have been ambushed, he did not panic and ordered the troops to be divided into two, with the front army remaining motionless, and the rear army turning the bow of the ship and preparing to meet the enemy forces behind him.

As soon as the deployment was completed, a naval army appeared on the left and right sides, and they also slowly headed towards the long-running warship.

Xingjiu Shiraki knew that he couldn't delay any longer, once he was attacked by the enemy from all sides, the loss would be great. So he hurriedly ordered the rear army to change to the front army and prepare to break out.

It was Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan who led the army to intercept behind, and when they saw Xingjiu Baimu rushing over, they did not step forward to meet the battle, but ordered to retreat. It was only in the process of retreating that a few barrels of crude oil were quietly poured over the sea.

After a long time for Bai Mu to chase closer, Liu Zixuan shot an arrow with a bow, and a rocket was shot into the sea, and suddenly all the crude oil on the sea surface burned.

In fact, the fire was not big, and there was not much oil, so it didn't last long at all. But these Naha's sailors were surrounded, and they were already panicked in their hearts, and now they saw the fire, and they were even more chaotic.

Even the outermost warship that was not burning simply did not obey the orders of Xingjiu Shiraki, and fled directly by boat, so as not to be burned by the fire.

Xingjiu didn't care about stopping it, and he thought about rushing out as soon as possible.

At this time, Jiang Huanyan in front, Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan in the back, Huang Songsheng and Ni Yun on the left, and Ling Zhen and Niu Qingyuan on the right surrounded them in four directions.

After a scuffle, Xingjiu Shiraki finally broke out of the encirclement, and less than thirty of the eighty warships that could be brought out were left.

Jiang Huanyan refused to stop there, and led the army to pursue all the way to the bottom of Naha Castle.

As soon as Xingjiu Shiraki's warship approached the dock, he jumped off the ship and ran towards the city gate, shouting as he ran: "Quick, prepare to close the city gate." ”

Running to the city in one breath, he was about to climb the tower to organize the city defense army to defend the city, when he suddenly felt a mountain of palm power next to him attacking him.

Xingjiu hurriedly fought back sideways, the two palms collided, and with a bang, Xingjiu was shocked and slammed into the city wall, and Hua Haoxuan stepped forward and hit out with a hollow punch.

Xingjiu had already been surging with the surging qi and blood of the palm just now, and his body that hit the city wall was not stable, and in the face of Hua Haoxuan's next punch, he was powerless to resist at all, and the warrior next to him also rescued him soon.

"Bang", a punch hit the chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out for a long time, mixed with several pieces of dark red internal organs.

Hua Haoxuan casually picked up a steel knife on the ground, and without even looking at Xingjiu, he walked towards the city gate. He was confident that he had been hit by the punch just now, and no one in the world could survive except Zu Qingzhi and Shen Nanxing.

A few more swords slashed through, and the sergeants at the city gate who wanted to close the city gate fell one after another. Hua Haoxuan stood majestically at the gate of the city with a single knife in his hand, and no one dared to rush forward from Naha's defenders for a while.

In less than a cup of tea, the army of Changxing Island was also killed, and the city defense army that had no one to command also laid down their weapons and chose to surrender, and Shi Luosheng easily occupied the city lord's mansion with the army.

"Uncle Shi, thanks to you this time, we were able to take Naha so easily." After the war, Shi Luosheng found Hua Haoxuan to express his gratitude.

Indeed, the first merit of this battle belongs to Hua Haoxuan, Hua Haoxuan solved the Yiwen and Wuwu of Naha City with one person, and the two supreme leaders, otherwise how could Shi Luosheng enter the City Lord's Mansion so easily.

Hua Haoxuan laughed: "Don't be polite with me, the capture of Naha is also for the better development of our Tianluo Sect." ”

Shi Luosheng said: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, the national strength of the Chu State has begun to decline now, if it is fifteen years at the slow, or ten years at the fastest, the Chu State will definitely be destroyed by the Qi State." When the time comes, we will go up to Tianzhu Peak together, kill Shen Nanxing, and avenge you and Master. ”

Hua Haoxuan smiled again: "That's good, I'm only fifty-four this year, and Senior Brother Zu is only fifty-six, it's not a big problem for us to live for another fifteen years, we have to let Shen Nanxing die in front of us before we are willing." ”

While the two were talking, Jiang Huanyan also came: "Luosheng, I took the city for you, don't forget the right to use the military port and the right to exempt me from tariffs." ”

Shi Luosheng was in a good mood: "Third brother, don't worry, I won't pay the bill." ”

Jiang Huanyan's eyes widened: "I forgive you and don't dare, if you dare not abide by the agreement, I will take Wan'er away." ”

Shi Luosheng laughed: "Wan'er, you can't take it away, but I promise you that I will do it." ”

Jiang Huanyan snorted coldly, and said: "Capturing Naha is only the first step, the next thing is the point, Shigeharu Takenaka has a high reputation in Naha, you have to find a way to convince him to surrender to you." Otherwise, you won't be able to subdue the local people for a few years. In addition, if you occupy Naha, you will also annoy the major forces in the surrounding Ryukyu Islands, they will not let you go easily, and the next war will not be easy, you must be mentally prepared. ”

"In addition, it is impossible for the twenty warships of the Song State and the ten warships of the Yan Kingdom to stay for a long time to help you, and I have to bring back these fifty warships. You only have thirty warships left on Changxing Island, and another forty newly recruited warships, these forces are still a little less, and you have to find a way to find reinforcements. ”
