C475 The Impact of Water and Fire

Molière and Gong Cheng were both stunned hearing this, especially Gong Cheng, he realised that the biggest flaw in the entire plan was actually Shang Tai himself, why had this young man been brainwashed by Xiao Letian to such an extent.

"Your majesty is foolish! "If we leave the mountain unscathed, how can we be so reckless when it comes to governing countries …" Before Gong Cheng could finish his sentence, he saw a black shadow smash into his face.

"Gong Cheng, you and I are irreconcilable …" The furious Jin Congshu bared his fangs and brandished his claws as he rushed towards. Unfortunately, he was only a Wen Chen, and couldn't rush to Gong Cheng's side even after rushing a few times.

Shang Tai shouted from the crowd, "My dear friends, think about it, why does the Ryukyu have so many people raising us? Why do the new and royal armies want to protect us? "It's not that we have a righteous reputation in our heads, but that the reputation left behind by our ancestors will be used up sooner or later. Good men need to start their own businesses …"

"The people raised me and the armies protected me because I, Shang Tai, was able to give them hope. I, Shang Tai, was able to lead them to protect this nation and protect the good days of everyone else … This is the root cause of the Emperor of Heaven! "

"You want me to surrender? Damn it, if I, Shang Tai, were to watch the French slaughter the new army and citizens and end up as a turtle egg, my Ryukyu would have truly died … That is the demise of the human heart! "

This time, even Molière and Bruce felt that the situation had become thorny. Their plan was to use the lives of the Ryukyu's ministers as meat tickets, threatening the entire kingdom to surrender to them. But if Shang Tai were to do that to her now, it would be the opposite.

"Make your move His Excellency the Special Envoy. Since they want to die, we should give them a chance …" Bruce shouted.

"No …" Absolutely not, we, France cannot just send our troops out for free, we must not just let them die like that, we must also reap the rewards of the war. If King Shang Tai and the other ministers die, we are bound to lose everything … "

Molière was so anxious that smoke was coming out from his stomach, "What we want is to tame the kingdom. What we want is to colonize this place for a long period of time in the future. "Even if it is to collect taxes, it will have to be handled by the officials of Ryukyu …"

Just as he was at a loss about this, suddenly, the sky above him exploded with a deafening explosion. The Seven Stars Mountain's Cannon and the Shouli City's Cannon finally opened fire after receiving the signal.

Liang Kun who had his leg injured was leaning on a stone wall. He stretched his head out and cursed at the direction of the dock, although he could not hear anything from the viewing platform, he could more or less guess it with his heel.

"What did I say?" What did I say! We can't negotiate. We can't trust these bastards. How are things right now? Open the door for the thieves, are you inviting the robbers in … Fire, fire at enemy warships! "

The shore defense cannons could only suppress the sea. They had no way to deal with the enemies on the docks, so these defenders had nowhere to vent their anger. They could only pour their firepower into the sea.

It was not only the cannons that were enraged, the soldiers of the New Army who had just left the city area also went crazy at this time. When the five-colored signal detonator exploded in the sky, all the New Army, militia, and student soldier were shocked.

In just a few seconds, there was a huge commotion in the team, "It is His Majesty's emergency signal detonator!" His Majesty was in trouble? Oh my god, how could this be, is His Majesty in trouble? "

Everyone knew that this kind of multicolored signal flare was the highest danger level signal, just like the blood flag s. This was the beginning of a decisive counterattack, and once this signal appeared, all the orders to retreat would become invalid.

In the current Ryukyu, there was only one possibility for multi-coloured signal bombs to appear, and that was that Shang Tai had passed away.

"His Majesty is dead? His Majesty is dead... "His Majesty was killed by the French …" There was only one sound in the entire city now.

"Returning Master …" Go back … "Kill these foreign devils!" The soldiers rushed back like madmen, and in the end they didn't even bother to line up.

The people and imperial guards who had just persuaded the new army to leave the city still hadn't figured out what was going on. They opened their mouths wide and looked at the new army returning. All of their jaws dropped.

"You, you, you, you … "Why are you guys back …" Those elders and women and children were too slow to understand the situation.

The madly running soldiers looked at these civilians who were doing evil things with good intentions, and all of them wanted to curse out of anger. However, looking at their cowardly expressions and kind gazes, it was hard to say whether they were dirty or alive.

"You all … "Ai …" The soldiers could say nothing but a long sigh.

Shang Tai, who was on the dock, was the eye of the storm. Although the place was calm and peaceful, it did not kill, but it controlled the entire tempo of the battle.

Under Molière's orders, the Japanese samurai and a portion of red-clothed military Katana and bayonets were able to control Shang Tai and his subordinates.

The remaining three hundred French troops quickly formed three shooting positions around the viewing platform. Other than the ones near the sea which were unguarded, the north, south and east were all covered with a pile of debris.

"Soldiers, hold the position. The reinforcements at sea are about to arrive …" To repel the barbarians, and let the flag of the France be planted all over the world... "

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the France! " The French army, which had won the first battle, was full of vigour.

At this time, the battleships on the sea also began to sail, one after another, and the French soldiers sitting on them started rowing. Along with the orderly sound of the horn, fifty to sixty boats were sailing on the wind and waves towards the dock.

Liang Kun on the cannon emplacement was going crazy. He had a telescope in one hand and a gun in the other as he pointed at the ocean, "Forget about the French warships …." The soldiers that landed were killed by the explosion... "Quick, quick, quick …"

The Large-scale Gun for Coastal Defense began to adjust the muzzle of the cannons, and after a series of roars, the sea surged with white waves. The two small boats were flipped over in the air, and the corpses of the red-clothed French Army floated on the sea like a swimming water ghost.

This was the most difficult battle to land. Without any strategy or deception, one could only rely on their own flesh and blood to advance forward. This was a war that could not be waged by anyone but the elites.

"Disperse... Disperse Army... The warriors accelerated, and we were safe as we dashed through the barrage of bullets... His Excellency the Special Envoy and the General have already promised that all of the wealth in this city will belong to you … "

"Long live!" The soldiers were fearless and worked even harder at rowing. The distance between the sparse fleet and the current fleet was now even larger.

The cannonballs rained down on the sea again and again, but they were still unable to stop the French army from landing. At this moment, people finally understood the foundation of the established empire. Just the quality of these soldiers was enough to make people admire them.

Molière looked at the overturned boats, his heart aching so much that it was bleeding. In the end, he really couldn't hold it in anymore, "Bastard, Shang Tai, do you want to die? Immediately order the gun emplacement to stop bombing... Otherwise, I will massacre the entire city! "

"Threatening me? Hehe … "Dream on, I'll wait for you to kill me. On the road to the Yellow Springs, I can puffed up my chest to see the people who died in battle. Even if I die, I'm still the dignified Lord of Ryukyu!"

"Alright, alright, alright. You are ruthless enough …" Molière's palm continuously changed positions several times, he almost gave the order to shoot, but in the end, he endured it.

"Don't think that you can get rid of my control just because you're not afraid of death. Let me tell you the truth, my script absolutely cannot be rewritten!" After Molière finished being ruthless, he no longer bothered with Shang Tai.

Molière cursed in his heart: "Damn you, didn't you say you don't want to be our puppet? "You have no choice. Wait until I slaughter a whole city and all the traitors, I will deal with you myself. High doses of morphine, the highest quality opium. I heard that someone is still working on something called heroin …"

"Just you wait, Shang Tai. I will train you into a dog, a despicable, groveling, and pampered addict!"

At this time, Molière tore off all of his gentleman's disguise and shouted at General Bruce, "Pass down the order, I, in the name of the French Emperor, will bestow this city to the brave soldiers … Slaughter the city! Slaughter the city! "

The beast-like roar ignited a fierce fighting spirit in the beast-like soldier. The most primitive desire throbbed in his blood as all the soldiers that were preparing for battle roared in unison, "Slaughter the city! Slaughter the city! "Slaughter the city …"

In the midst of the howls of the wolves, the sound of deafening footsteps rang out. The returning new army finally arrived before the French reinforcements landed. Their guns were already filled with bullets, and a battle was about to break out.

At this moment, the open space on the pier was already filled with corpses. The miserable scene left all the soldiers furious. They picked up Spencer and were about to shoot without any orders from the military officers.

"No …" Look... His Majesty is still alive. His Majesty has been captured alive! " The officer at the front bellowed and stopped the soldiers' shooting. However, the French Army did not care. A burst of gunfire came from all directions as bullets rained down from the smoke.

Pah pah pah … The soldier who was hit by the bullets spun around a few times, and was hit by five bullets in the chest of the officer who was at the front. He used his bayonet to press against the stone floor, barely holding himself up.

"What kind of rotten battle is this …" What kind of lousy battle is this … Prime Minister … "Why didn't you come back …" Amidst panting, another volley of arrows was fired at the same time. The tenacious soldiers fell into a pool of blood, dying with grievance.

Shang Tai was going crazy, he cried and screamed in the crowd, "Fight! Ignore Me... Fight, fight! Have you forgotten the Prime Minister's military order? "F * ck, why do you guys care about me …"

"Shoot, shoot at me..." "Even if I die, I won't be a burden to you guys …" Shang Tai had never cried like this in his entire life, he felt that it was as if his tears had gushed out from his heart.

"There will always be a death in life. Worse comes to worse, we will perish together. I gave up this country, and today, I give up this life as well …" "Fight, kill them all!"

At that moment, the king's shout had even suppressed the sounds of gunfire on the battlefield, and only then did the new army realize that the multicolored signal flare was Shang Tai's determination to kill him.

"Fire …" Fight them to the death... Killing one was enough, but killing two would earn him one … New army assault! "

In the midst of the roar, countless warriors in light blue military uniforms formed a tide and charged towards the French. The red military uniforms formed an indestructible defense line, just like the lava spewed out from a volcano at the bottom of the sea.

This was a confrontation between water and fire, a challenge from an unyielding Eastern civilization to the strong West. Success and failure determined not only the gains and losses of an island, but also the fate of an island nation.

If he were to win this battle, the morale of the Eastern Civilization would be high, and Xiao Letian would naturally be in the limelight!

If they were to lose this battle, the Western Civilization's aura would definitely soar like a rainbow, and the pace of colonizing the entire world would become unstoppable!
