C506 Mutually assured destruction

After all, the Ryukyu was not some ancient country. Before the Ming Dynasty, this was just a large island in the East Sea that was formed by a primitive tribe.

For example, the North Mountain, Zhongshan, and Nanshan. They were talking about the three large mountains that covered the entire Bulbus Glazed Island from the south to the north, and each mountain was occupied by a large tribe. At that time, the three great mountains of the ancient Ryukyu would be established side by side.

Zhongshan Country, Nanshan Country, Beishan Country, the location of Zhongshan Country's Shouli City, was one of the first countries to establish a friendly relationship with the Ming Dynasty. It was also with the support of Ming Dynasty that Zhongshan Country unified the Bulbus Glazed Island and eventually established the Ancient Ryukyu Country.

In the eyes of the Glazed sphere aboriginals, the unification of the three mountains was an impressive event, but in the Great Ming Dynasty, it was a story of three villages fighting each other and eventually merging into one large village. To say that it would be bad to send a county magistrate to interfere would be letting down a seventh grade sesame official.

Three Mountain Country's history had already ended, but they still retained the ancient names. The Nanshan and Northern Mountain had become important strategic highlands protecting the Shouli City.

The battle at the northern defense line was extremely pitiful, and the Nanshan was not like a pool of stagnant water either. On the cement permanent observation post on the mountaintop, three red-eyed sentries were staring at the French warships on the sea all day.

The fortifications beside him had already been blown into ruins. This place was originally meant to have a cannon emplacement, but before it was even completed, it was struck by the French battleship, leaving behind a complete mess.

"Mr. Ma Xiu, please drink some water …" A soldier brought a tube of clear water over. Upon closer inspection, the tall man who took the tube over was actually a foreigner from a large nose.

This foreigner was an old friend of the Ryukyu's officials. He was the military observer sent by the President of the United States, Mr. Lin Ken. It was this American military official called Ma Xiu who, after he grew old, reorganized the diaries he used to travel around China and released a strange book called "Ma Xiu's Journal".

The book detailed everything he had experienced in East Asia and, from a bystander's point of view, the rise of the entire East Asian nation.

There were precise numbers, detailed text, rich photos, and even interviews with officials and generals that people of the future could only look forward to. Of course, at that time, the dazzling elders of the Military were only a bunch of ignorant teenagers.

A diary of Ma Xiu's, the future generation had actually become the must-read material for scholars to research Xiao Letian, and the history of East Asia's rise.

Ever since the French battleship had appeared at the Tyrant Bay, Ma Xiu hadn't left the Nanshan observation post. The view from here was wide, and not only was he able to see the Shouli City on the opposite side of the mountain, he was also able to see the entire city district below his feet.

Except for the situation at the head of Northmont, which he could not see, none of the remaining battles could escape his eyes and the camera in his hand.

The moment the French fired their cannons at the civilians, Ma Xiu was completely enraged. Americans who had been developed in the western regions for hundreds of years already possessed the spirit of being a cowboy, and had reached the extremes of worshipping and worshipping individual heroes. They already possessed a heroic spirit that was unique to the Europeans.

In Ma Xiu's mind, although war cannot completely spare the lives of the commoners, it cannot be like this for Molière, right? They even started bombarding without even declaring war? All the artillery shells were thrown into the residential district to increase the damage? Furthermore, it was a fucking flowering bomb.

Ma Xiu really wanted to rush up to fight with the Frenchman, but he was, after all, a military official appointed by the President. If he were to join this war, it would definitely cause a diplomatic dispute.

After thinking about it, Ma Xiu decided to use his most treasured camera to record everything. After the end of the war, he would definitely publicize everything and let the whole world condemn this atrocity.

Burning slums, crumbling business streets, seaports full of dead bodies, weeping refugee camps, brightly lit medical stations... Of course, there were also the charging Forces nouvelles soldiers, and the impassioned lecturing student soldier.

Amongst the countless of photos, the most common one was, of course, the one that overlooked the entire battlefield from the top of the Nanshan. Standing there, gave Ma Xiu a sense of being a god and only from this angle could he truly feel the majesty of war.

"Mister... "Look at the bay across the river …" A sharp cry pulled Ma Xiu's thoughts back to reality. He turned his head to the south and saw the huge, exaggerated white flag with the word Xiao clearly seen from far away.

"God bless me! What is this... Ryukyu's reinforcements? Give me the camera... " A soldier carried a tripod and brought it to Ma Xiu's side. Another soldier took off the conch and puffed his cheeks.

No one knew the identity of that ship, but as long as he had Xiao character recognition flag, then he was definitely a friend and not an enemy.

The conch horn alerted the other observation posts, causing the entire Nanshan to be able to detect any abnormalities on the surface of the sea from more than ten hidden observation points. Immediately after, the conch horn's sound resonated into a cacophony.

Then, Seven Stars Mountain, Zhongshan, and the Shouli City's hidden observation posts also discovered the abnormality, and the sound of the bugle horn continuously rang.

Even the French Major General, Bruce, was dumbfounded. Under the watch of a line of warships, the people watched helplessly as a Chinese sailboat squeezed through the middle of two frigate s, breaking apart the wood with a loud cracking sound. Even Bruce could hear it.

Amongst the three Chinese pirate ship, two of them chose to perish together with the French battleship, and the cries of battle from the two frigate were like thunder, while the fish that escaped the net was not much better.

French soldiers was stunned. There was nothing more than the side line of the Chinese pirate ship, it was like a model dissected in the Naval Academy. The entire internal structure of the pirate ship could be seen clearly.

The gunpowder cabin's sailors, the chef baring his fangs and claws with a boning knife, and the wounded soldiers resting in the cabin … Almost all the pirates were cursing at the French army for showing off their might. From the looks of their discontent, it was as if they did not realize the reality of the ship's imminent demise.

This pirate ship was destined to sink, so everyone could clearly see the water on both sides of the ship's sides splashing and pouring in. According to this momentum, it would not even take 10 minutes for the ship to collapse.

Just when everyone was stunned, Bruce suddenly shouted, "Not good, this ship is here to kill itself, they are here to inform us … Fire the cannons, sink him! "

The words reminded the man in the dream, only then did the people raise their attention from the side of the boat to the mast, and a terrifying Xiao character recognition flag appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Dammit …" This ship carried the message for the people of Ryukyu, we cannot let them succeed … " Amidst the shouts, the surface of the sea rumbled with the sounds of cannons, and water splashed in every direction around Jin Yandiao.

"Speed up, speed up, just a bit more … If we go around the rocks in front of us, we'll be able to see the city... Turn the rudder... "

Boom! Boom! The water from the artillery shell shot up to a height of more than ten meters before it rained down like a torrential downpour. The broken rope lashed about in the air, much like a legendary octopus dancing in the deep sea.

From time to time, pirates on the mast would fall into the sea, where they would fly through the air and harvest their life, even hitting Jin Yandiao's ribs.

"Fuck, this mosquito bite is really painful …" Jin Yandiao was fierce enough, she took out a dagger and grinded her teeth, before digging out that piece of bullet.

"It's right in front of my eyes, I can already see Shouli City … "I've seen it before, I've seen it …" The pirate ship sailing amidst the gunfire finally saw hope. The lookout hand at the highest point finally saw the outline of the Shouli City.

"Lord Dragon God bless …" "Brothers, abandon the ship and retreat …" Jin Yandiao snatched the conch horn beside and started to blow with a rhythm.

The pirates battling on the surface of the sea didn't dare to hesitate when they heard the retreat signal. One by one, they jumped over the side of the ship and headed into the sea, splashing their way up the shore.

"It's time to abandon the ship … After the mission is over, we'll go to the island and have a drink. "We have finally won this gamble …" The sea was full of people.

Both the Sea God and the Tempest's crew were shocked. The battle had just been too intense for them to explain, so why were all the pirates retreating in the blink of an eye? Rubbing their eyes and looking at the corpses on the deck, they felt that this was not a dream.

"Clean up the water in the cabin... Repair the battleship now... Sailor is preparing to change the sails... "Send the signal to the Glory, we are heavily injured, we must withdraw from the battle …"

After the two battleships finished sending the signal, they started to adjust their positions, preparing to shake off the two pirate ship s that were stabbed into the boat.

Each of the two pirate ship s had an aged pirate that was crippled. The years of living at sea had already made them sick, and it was thanks to Jin Yandiao who had some conscience, that he had been raising them up for nothing.

"Now is the time to repay the debt of gratitude. Today is the day where the saber ends and the head licks blood …" In their hands, they held incense sticks that were as thick as a child's arm, and blew on it. The incense head became exceptionally bright.

In front of them were buckets after buckets of gunpowder. A few of them had already been broken, and the black granules of gunpowder were scattered all over the place.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Two mushroom clouds rose up without any sign of symptoms, and muffled thunder shook the entire island. The Sea God and the Tempest were blown up more than three meters high like toys in the face of such violent power, then smashed violently back into the sea. Tons of seawater gushed in, and flames and smoke shot up into the sky.

"Ah, Prime Minister Xiao … I, Jin Yandiao, have come to ruin my home to deliver a letter to you … Don't forget my contribution! "
