Chapter 146: Breaking the Siege

In the port of Naha, the Nine Ghosts Kataka was staring blankly at the Naha Castle in front of him. I thought that the disappearance of Shigeharu Takenaka was the best chance for me to take Naha Castle, but I didn't expect that as soon as I was ready to send troops, the news came that Naha Castle had been captured.

Fortunately, after the first battle, the strength of Naha Castle was greatly damaged, and there were not many defenders left in the city, and Shi Luosheng was an outsider, and the people in the city would not be willing to be ruled by him, and he was a Ryukyuan person, as long as his troops came to the city, the people in the city were very likely to be on their side.

Even if it was very risky to send troops at this time, Kuki Yoshitaka did not want to miss such an opportunity, he clearly knew that the economy of Naha Castle far exceeded that of other forces in the Ryukyu Islands. As long as Shi Luosheng can stand firm, they won't have any more chances.

At that time, if Shi Luosheng had adopted the practices of the previous Naha city lords, then they would still be able to maintain the status quo. If it is not adopted, it will be devastating for them.

In order to reduce his own risk, Nine Ghost Yoshitaka pulled Bukit, Shimazu Yoshihisa and Liu Suojing together to jointly send troops.

The three Bukit were also worried that Naha's new lord would change his previous approach and unify the entire Ryukyu Islands after taking office, so the three of them immediately agreed to send troops together.

Who knew that the Fourth Route Army had not yet made peace, and Liu Suojing retreated because the nest was attacked by a sneak attack. When the remaining three-way army continued to attack the city, it was discovered that the lord of Naha was still missing Shigeharu Takenaka, which meant that the people in the city would also support Shi Luosheng.

These are not the end, the siege battle has only been going on for two days, and Shimazu Yoshihisa was also forced to withdraw his troops because of the sneak attack on his lair. This not only made the gap between the two sides shrink rapidly, but also shook the confidence of the Nine Ghosts Jialong's original victory.

In the next half month, Naba City was impregnable under the defense of Ling Zhen and Wang Lun, and the Nine Ghosts Jialong and Wu Ji tried all kinds of means to no avail.

The two of them also thought about retiring in private, but this time they took the initiative to violate others, and when they came back, once Shi Luosheng and Jiang Huanyan wanted to retaliate, would they be able to resist it?

The two had no choice but to dispel their thoughts and continue to attack the city. But the next bad news came one after another.

First of all, Liu Suojing made it clear that he would not bring troops over to participate in the siege battle. Then Shimazu Yoshihisa was assassinated on the way to withdraw the army, and then Anmi Island surrendered to Jiang Huanyan under the leadership of Shimazu Yoshihisa's lieutenant Chen Shuiying.

After Jiang Huanyan collected the surrendered army, he returned to Naha Castle with one hundred and twenty warships.

When the two received the last message, they both looked at each other for a long time and couldn't speak. Wu Ji was even more remorseful in his heart, he shouldn't have listened to the bewitchment of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, and promised him to jointly send troops to Naha.

Wu Ji asked tentatively: "Why don't we retreat now, it is Jiang Huanyan who leads the army, and when he comes, we won't even have a chance to escape." ”

Nine Ghost Jialong smiled bitterly: "Retreat? Where can we withdraw? How many warships do you still have on Dadong Island, can you have more than we do now? Once we are separated, it is easier for Jiang Huanyan to be broken one by one, and now we can only survive by letting go. ”

Wu Ji didn't want to listen to the words of the Nine Ghosts Jialong at this time, and secretly calculated in his heart: "What the Nine Ghosts Jialong said is right, only by letting go can he live, but the object of Bo can't be Jiang Huanyan, and fighting hard with Jiang Huanyan is not Bo, it's looking for death." If you want to Bo, you can only fight with the Nine Ghosts Jialong, as long as you can kill the Nine Ghosts Jialong, and then surrender to Jiang Huanyan, it may be the only way to live. ”

Having made up his mind, Wu Ji said quietly: "That's the only way, we might as well take the initiative to meet Jiang Huanyan, so as not to be caught between them and back under Naha City." ”

Nine Ghost Jialong nodded and said, "It makes sense, we'll withdraw now." With that, he stood up and walked out the door.

Taking advantage of the Nine Ghosts Jialong's back to him, Wu Ji took out a dagger from his waist and pounced forward, and the dagger was directly inserted into the back of the Nine Ghosts Jialong's heart.

The Nine Ghosts Jialong screamed, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at Wu Ji with an expression of disbelief.

Wu Ji said viciously: "Nine ghosts, don't blame me, you said to give it a go, it's much easier to kill you than to kill Jiang Huanyan, you can go with confidence, I will send your family to accompany you." After speaking, with a gentle push, the Nine Ghosts Jialong fell to the ground and died of exhaustion.

"Bukit led his troops to surrender, and I hope that His Royal Highness will accept it." As soon as Jiang Huanyan rushed back to Naha with his army, he heard that Bukit planned to surrender himself.

"General Wu, please get up, you can surrender to my Daqi, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I refuse." Jiang Huanyan helped up Wu Ji, who was kneeling on the deck.

Wu Ji stood up and asked the entourage behind him to present the head of the Nine Ghosts Jialong: "The last general had no intention of offending His Highness's Tiger Might, but he was accidentally bewitched by the Nine Ghosts Jialong for a while, and he really deserved death." The last general has now killed the nine ghosts Jialong, and I hope that His Royal Highness can forgive the last general's unintentional mistakes. ”

Jiang Huanyan smiled secretly in his heart: "This Wuji is not a good thing, when he is weak, he wants to take advantage, and when the Nine Ghosts Jialong is weak, he betrays his allies, and he is simply a villain who sees the wind and rudders." However, it was just in time for him to surrender, and the remaining guards on Anmi Island were in need of him. ”

Jiang Huanyan smiled and said: "General Wu is too worried, the previous things have passed, from today onwards, even if you are officially included in my Great Qi Navy, you will be stationed in the Ryukyus for me in the future, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Wu Ji hurriedly said: "The last general can't ask for it." ”

Jiang Huanyan laughed: "Okay, in the Ryukyu Islands, in addition to your Dadong Island, Anmei Island is now also my Daqi territory, and after you go back, you will also send people to Anmei Island to garrison." In the future, Anmi Island will be our military base in the Ryukyus, and you must guard it carefully, and you can't let others take it away. ”

Bukit was overjoyed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, the last general will definitely send heavy troops to guard it, and no one will have a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Bukit thought that after surrendering, it would be good to be able to save a life, but he didn't expect Jiang Huanyan to be so generous, not only stationed himself on Dadong Island, but also gave him Anmei Island. In addition to Naha Castle, the most attractive areas of the entire Ryukyu Islands are Osumi Island and Anmi Island.

Jiang Huanyan was also worried about how to deal with Anmei Island, and later thought about persuading the Nine Ghosts Jialong to surrender, and if he was willing to surrender, he would hand over Anmei Island to him to take care of. Unexpectedly, the Nine Ghosts Jialong was killed by Bukit, and Bukit took the initiative to surrender himself, and now he is just pushing the boat down the river and handing over Anmei Island to him as well.

After the death of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, Osumi Island will definitely not be able to hold it, and Jiang Huanyan also wants to go over to capture Osumi Island, but this time after all, it is a joint army with Shi Luosheng, and he can't take all the benefits, otherwise with Shi Luosheng's character, he will definitely send troops to unify the entire Ryukyu Islands when Daqi unifies the five countries of the mainland. In the future, his plan to go overseas will encounter a huge challenge, so he simply gave up Osumi Island and left it to Shi Luosheng to attack by himself.
