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...”
