Chapter 111 - Assault on Shouli City

Although the Shouli City was not very big, it was still the Ryukyu Kingdom's Imperial Palace, and it would take time for the soldiers to report back and forth. While they were waiting, Huashan Liyuan and Zhu Zhongjingshang turned and looked down at the flames of the Naha Harbor, their ears filled with the shouts of battle coming from the wind.

"Master Zhu Zhong, do you think that Xiao Letian is really dead?" birch elder suddenly asked. Zhu Zhongjingshang pondered for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say. Hidden Fog Kid and the rest are very strong, coupled with the early ambush, I think they would at least have a sixty to seventy percent success rate."

"Haha, you think too highly of those people. I'll tell you this very clearly: they failed. Not only did Xiao Letian not die, the explosion had made him even crazier. "Look at the approaching sound of battle, this means that the Chinese are getting closer to the Shouli City …"

"Our Japanese has been studying the Chinese since the Tang Dynasty, and we have never neglected their every move on the continent. "After the cliff, the Wuyong of the Han people began to weaken bit by bit. Even with the revival of the Ming dynasty, it will never reach the level of the manly style of the Han and Tang dynasties …"

"Later on, when the Manchu entered the stage, the Han people were forced to strip themselves of their clothes and wore ugly braids on their heads. They were completely enslaved, they were just slaves in violence. No matter if the emperor is the Mongolian or the Manchu, even if our Japanese is their emperor, as long as we grasp absolute violence, they will obediently become slaves … "

Zhu Zhongjingshang looked at the birch elder in confusion and asked, "I'm sorry, I was a little confused. In the process of Master coming in contact with Xiao Letian, and even when you first read the book《 Journey to the West》, your performance was not like this … To say the least, your adoration of China at that time was endless. "

As if the birch elder had already known the confusion in Zhu Zhongjingshang's heart, he smiled slightly and said, "The huge ancient empire across the ocean is simply too complicated. Although most of the people here are slaves, such a large empire's population is something we cannot even imagine … Even if there is only one hero out of ten thousand people, it would be a very scary thing. "

"Only a hero, a nation, a nation, an era, can push it. It's just like the tyrant under our feet, before Xiao Letian came, did you think that these Sheep like Chinese people would be able to unleash that kind of explosive power? So, Xiao Letian is definitely still alive, because without his motivation, these sand-like Chinese will quickly transform into the servants of the past, and their selfishness and greed will once again occupy their hearts … "

Just as Zhu Zhongjingshang was respectfully listening to the elder's wisdom, a clamor came from above the city walls. Raising his head, he saw that Shang Tai had appeared in the light of the torch.

"The people below the city are the birch elder …" Shang Tai suppressed the fear in his heart and finally said a complete sentence, but the trembling in his voice made Huashan Liyuan want to laugh.

birch elder bowed deeply towards Shang Tai and said, "Your Majesty, please open the door of Shouli City. We are here to protect you, because unknown thugs have appeared in the Naha Harbor, and even the foreigners hiding in the ports are coming out to hide.

Shang Tai was at a loss of what to do, he grabbed onto the wall with his mouth wide open, not knowing how to speak. Great General Cai Mao, who was beside him, secretly sighed in his heart, and took over the conversation, "birch elder, right now, the city is in chaos. Just in case, I can only say my apologies. Shouli City would never open the city gates before the sky turns bright. "

Huashan Liyuan suddenly straightened his back as his eyes shone brightly, "General Cai Mao, I am asking the Emperor what right do you have to answer his question. Could it be that the Emperor has been placed under house arrest by you? The friendship between the Japanese Ryukyu s for more than two hundred years, could it be that it can't be exchanged for a bit of trust? "

"You said that in order to prevent snacks, this also includes us Japanese? The Great Japan had protected the Ryukyu Kingdom for more than two hundred years. Huashan Liyuan's voice grew louder and louder, to the point where he was unable to control his emotions.

"Your Majesty Shang Tai, please do not listen to this lowly person's slanderous words. Japan has always been the backer of King of the Glazed Ball, are you going to change the family rules of our ancestors? Your Majesty, please give the order to open the gates. We'll deal with this mess together … "

At this time, Lin Yuanmiao, who was in pro-Chinese, also walked up the city wall. He sneered at Huashan Liyuan, "My family's elder, it is less than two hours from dawn now. I wonder why Sir is so anxious to open the gates of Shouli City? Do you have an ulterior motive? If you want to protect His Majesty, then please stand guard outside the city gate. If there are thugs, then we can see the prowess of the Japanese soldiers. "

"You …" Huashan Liyuan wished that he could hack these pro-Chinese to death one by one. This was truly a defeated ruler, not only did he not kill all the pro-Chinese s after 200 years. He looked at the two men on the wall and knew that with them blocking the way, it would be difficult to open the gate today.

Just as Huashan Liyuan was preparing to set up a formation outside the city gates to wait for daylight, suddenly, a soldier rushed over like a madman. He knelt in front of the old man and said softly, "Master, General Kiyoshi Yamamoto has lost, and now his position is unknown.

"Nani!" A complete wipeout? The primary matrix that Kiyoshi Yamamoto was leading had the strongest defense, how could it collapse so quickly? "Is he an idiot …" Huashan Liyuan was about to go crazy, he never thought that the grievous news of him being separated from Kiyoshi Yamamoto for merely an hour would come.

"General Yamamoto was brave enough to fight, a thousand kicks was enough to inflict three times the damage …" The messenger wanted to explain, but Huashan Liyuan kicked him and sent him flying, "Eighty! "A loss is a loss. Even if he kills thirty thousand civilians, what's the use …"

Huashan Liyuan's chest rose and fell violently like a bellows. He turned his head and shouted at Shang Tai, "Your Majesty, you have been surrounded by traitors, I have already found out that the ones who are burning and looting the Naha Harbor are the people of Qing Dynasty, Xiao Letian and his subordinates. The entire city's people have become accomplices."

"Your Majesty! The Cai Mao and Lin Yuanmiao by your side have already been bribed by the Qing people. They are here to swallow the Ryukyu Kingdom … " Without waiting for Shang Tai to reply, Huashan Liyuan immediately ordered his subordinates to attack the city.

"Warriors of the Japan, citizens of the God of Heaven, warriors of the Emperor. Our ally, the Ryukyu Kingdom, was framed by the Qing people. The King has been kidnapped. Duck! "

At the most critical moment, Huashan Liyuan would definitely not hesitate at all. Kiyoshi Yamamoto had already defeated the people from the Qing Dynasty at that time, and if he did not control Shang Tai now, by the time the sun shined tomorrow, it would be too late.

More than ten wooden ladders were brought out. Shouli City's city walls were less than ten meters tall, barely three stories high, and could not be considered as strong in military terms. Japanese had a lot of experience dealing with such a city.

Huashan Liyuan did not care that was still on top of the city wall, he raised his left hand and waved it downwards, following that, a rain of arrows shot out from the darkness onto the brightly lit city wall, and a large portion of it fell.

"May Rain Strike..." Using the continuous rain of arrows to suppress them, the warriors are ready to go to the city, and the ninjas are ready to attack … " It was no wonder that Huashan Liyuan was an important official of the Shimadzu Family. He did not seem to be in a mess when he was commanding the battle, and he was also abnormally steel-blooded.

Zhu Zhongjingshang was, after all, a civil servant. He could only command the archers to shoot, and when the siege had just started, he was already shocked by the brutality of the war. It was only now did he understand that the Shimadzu Family's 200 years of rule over the Ryukyu Kingdom was reasonable.

All of the guards put wooden ladders on top of the city walls, and the first to rush up were not the light warriors, but the armored warriors. All of the warriors at the bottom level of the Shimadzu Family had Katana s in their mouths as they climbed up quickly with their hands and legs, while the archers above their heads were raining arrows, the Ryukyu Kingdom Army was suppressed so much that they could not even lift their heads.

It was not only the warriors, but also the ninjas wearing black night clothes. These silent battlefield snipers threw out ghost claws from their backs and firmly held onto the city walls. Soon after, one black figure after another climbed up like a nimble monkey, quickly rushing up the city wall together with the warriors.

The so-called imperial guards of the Ryukyu Kingdom had not fought for more than two hundred years, and were completely incapable of organizing an effective defense. Even with two or three Japanese samurai, they were able to intimidate and shame more than ten soldiers.

"Protect His Majesty and return to the palace. Brothers, fight to the death with them! If the Ryukyu Kingdom cannot be destroyed, we swear that we will not be slaves … " Cai Mao pushed to Lin Yuanmiao as he held his big blade and rushed onto the city walls, bringing his personal guards that he had personally trained with him as they rushed towards the most dangerous front line.

Cai Mao held onto the shield in his hand, and with blade in hand, he rushed forward and killed a few rounds, causing his entire body to be drenched in blood, and because he was going all out, he managed to temporarily suppress Japanese's crazed energy. Under his encouragement, countless imperial guards gathered their courage and started to fight Japanese once again.

Huashan Liyuan, who was standing outside the city, coldly looked at Cai Mao, and sighed in his heart: "After two hundred years of rule, the Ryukyu Kingdom actually still has a trace of valor left, but it's such a pity. Today, you've revealed yourself in front of me, so I'll suppress you immediately!"

Huashan Liyuan shouted at the top of the city walls, "General Cai, stop resisting fearlessly and have the Ryukyu Kingdom bleed less. Let me tell you the truth, the important figure of the Qing Empire that you all relied on has already died at the dock. The biggest explosion in the middle of the night was when he was buried in the sea of fire …"

"You no longer have anything to rely on. You will definitely lose today …" Huashan Liyuan's words were like a hammer that struck Cai Mao's heart. He heard the huge explosion. Other than the foreigners, only Japanese was able to use so much gunpowder.

Just then, from behind General Cai Mao, a ruckus suddenly came from the depths of the palace city. Countless maids and servants suddenly went into chaos, a team of people from the light and shadows seemed to be rushing towards the main hall.

A faint voice came from the wind, "The Qing Nation is dead. Protect His Majesty. Open the city gates to welcome the Japanese …" This time, Cai Mao felt a sweet sensation in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Jin Changsen, you're too shameless, you actually instigated your servants to start an internal strife, you really are Japanese's henchman, a complete and utter slave!"

Huashan Liyuan's ears were sharp, when he heard the unusual noise coming from the city, he could already guess the situation, and nodded his head in gratification: "Oh West, the Japan's 200 years of rule was still effective, the loyal subjects are really powerful..."
