The winding road leading to the North Mountain is full of messy boulders, and the white ballast proves that it has just collapsed from the mountain, and the smoke in the air proves that what has just happened here.

On the narrow winding mountain road, several corpses lay on the ground in a rocky burial place, and the bright red blood flowed on the ground like a stream, without exception, these corpses were all dressed in the light blue military uniform characteristic of the New Army.

The dead soldiers were all General Liang Kun's personal guards, and the team of 300 people of the two garrison companies was now cowering on the mountain road like a trapped long snake, and the surrounding dense forest was full of crackling gunfire.

"Three-class assault...... There is an enemy in the dense forest at six o'clock......"

"Moving stones...... Pile up a bunker for the general to come out......"

"Get out... Don't take special care of me, rush up and beat these damn spies to death......"

It was Liang Kun and the soldiers he was about to take to Guotou Village who were shouting for battle, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at Beishan Trail, he encountered stray bullets fired from the east by French warships.

The flowering shells provided by the British were really powerful, and this shell hit the mountain full of cracks, and thousands of cubic meters of rocks rolled down, and the guards suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

This was an accident, the French fleet did not find any trace of Liang Kun and his party, originally this shell was intended to bombard a village in the dense forest, but it accidentally deviated from the trajectory and exploded right above Liang Kun's head.

The French warship was looking for the next target, but at this moment, in the dense forest of the mountain peak above Liang Kun's head, three white flags were suddenly raised, and their whereabouts were actually discovered by Sun Ximei's group.

As soon as the French battleship saw that the guns should have marked the shooting target, they did not dare to slack off and hurriedly opened fire continuously, and the mountain body was blown up in large quantities by the rumbling cannons, and Liang Kun's guard company suffered heavy casualties.

"I cāo his grandmother's ...... Why are there so many internal ghosts, and they can't kill the dog thieves, Lao Tzu has cut you with a thousand knives..."Seeing the tragic death of his brothers, Liang Kun was furious and immediately ordered the army to disperse and fight back, and entered the dense forest in batches.

Chang Sanhao, Sun Ximei, Stubborn Donkey and others who were hiding in the mountains were far more familiar with this forest than Liang Kun and others, and this was originally the hiding place they had been operating for a long time, and they began to fight with the soldiers of the garrison company relying on the mountain situation.

"Brothers...... Fight and retreat...... Drag this group of soldiers, absolutely not let them reinforce the country, success or failure in this move, whether we can return home depends on this hammer deal..."

Sun Ximei and they know very well that in the eyes of the imperial court, they are all a group of flying eagle lackeys, and they are good minions who can hunt prey, and if the mission fails, they have no kindness to support their old age.

This time, he will either cooperate with Gong Cheng to complete the task and then return to China to be promoted and make a fortune, or he will wander overseas and have no third choice.

The Chinese in this era still have a strong sense of the countryside, and it is even more uncomfortable for them to be displaced overseas than to kill them, and they are fighting today for the beautiful dream of returning to their hometowns to become officials and making a fortune.

And the new army on Liang Kun's side is the elite trained by Xiao Letian, and now it is the period of momentum, and the inability to fight back after being bombed in the past few days has made them hold back the fire in their stomachs, and the two sides can be regarded as needle-to-needle.

After three salvos, the French battleship gave up because it lost its obvious objective, but the battle in the mountains and forests continued, and although the outcome was unpredictable now, Liang Kun's plan to attack the country in person was in vain.

The current battle situation in Guotou Village has also reached its peak, Chu Zhao and Luo Monkey thought of going with Liang Kun, and when the French began to bomb indiscriminately, the Beishan defense line began to charge.

Hundreds of New Army soldiers and militia men with rifles began to charge at the French fortifications, shouting and killing with earth-shattering shouts. The French marines relied on the ruins of Guotou Village and the defensive low walls they had piled up in the past few days, with white smoke from their rifles and a dense rain of bullets to repel wave after wave of new army offensives.

The French underestimated the courage of this group of Asians, who for the first time felt the cruelty of the European battlefield under the Asian sky, and the yellow faces on the opposite side charged like moths in the rain of bullets as if they did not know life and death.

Knocking down a batch, rushing another batch, the shock wave of alternate cover knocked the French position to the ground, the section of defense line was broken, and the most shocking white-knuckle combat began.

"Brothers...... Folks...... Hundreds of thousands of Naha people are suffering, and the despicable French are slaughtering our brothers and sisters...... Rush forward and crush them and avenge the dead......"

"Revenge... Avenge... Revenge..."In the deafening roar was the grinding of bayonets penetrating the human body, the miserable wails of the dying, and the cries of the French in their hearts.

"How dare the weak Asians fight the bayonets of the French Army? Where do they have the fighting spirit? Is this the same weak people we met six years ago?"

Believe it or not, the battle has come to this point, and the French Army, the strongest in the world, has begun to fight hard.

"Artillery preparation...... Blow them up...... Flat fire at close range......" In a series of French commands, four black barrels suddenly flashed out of the ruins behind the battle line, and no one expected that the French would take advantage of the night to unload four guns from the battleship, which was the last killer weapon of the defenders of Guotou Village.

"Blow up these barbarians...... "After a series of explosions, the waves of charging people were swept into the air, and the earth and stumps fell like rain, and the broken defense line was quickly recaptured.

Chu Zhao smashed his fist on the trench, "It's hateful...... Hateful... Just a little, just a little...... Come on, come here with five hundred death squads, I'll take you to ......"

At this time, Luo Monkey, who had just retreated, wiped the blood on his face as if it was not his own, he grabbed Chu Zhao and yelled, "Be careful...... I've just seen it, and the enemy shells are very abundant, and I'm surprised, it's been four days since they were blown up, how come this group of French shells can't run out......"

Before he could finish speaking, the four artillery pieces at the head of the country roared, and a cloud of smoke rose from the trench area, and the death squad that had just been assembled was blown down at once.

In the final analysis, Xiao Letian's new army was still established for a short time, and on his schedule, the coordination of infantry artillery should be a plan to be launched next year, and now the limited military funds are all hit on the coastal defense batteries and the construction of the navy in the future, and the new army has not had time to popularize artillery at all.

When the French army used the last killer weapon, the battle situation in Guotou Village suddenly became stalemate, and several charges organized by Chu Zhao were repelled by artillery, and the French army did not dare to attack rashly due to insufficient troops, and the two sides fell into a temporary period of calm.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole day was about to pass, and the people of Naha Castle had been completely evacuated, and the refugees exposed in the mountains had fled deeper into the mountains, leaving only some supplies that could not be moved and still under the fire of the French.

Looking at Naha Port again, the shooting of the Ryukyu Shore Defense Battery for a whole day only caused some minor damage to battleships such as the Koei. The cunning Molière had already ordered the battleships to expand the range of their cruises at about two o'clock in the afternoon, not only to bomb the main city, but also to intensify their strikes against other targets.

Molière's order was actually quite helpless, a day's bombardment is now an empty city in Naha Harbor, and it is too unwise to continue to waste ammunition.

The war had been fought so far, and Gong Cheng's previous expectations had been successfully completed, and the thin old man stood on the deck of the merchant ship and blinked his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Well, it's only been six years, and the combat effectiveness of the Europeans has strengthened again? Six years ago, their cannons were all firing solid projectiles, but now they are all flowering and blasting shells? At that time, the range of their cannons was not so far, could it be said that this is the power of rifled guns?"

Gong Banlun is actually only half of the West, and his understanding of the development of Western science and technology is far inferior to Xiao Letian, and he can't figure out the difference between rifled guns and smoothbore guns, let alone the principle of flowering cannonballs.

Because his number was still at the level of six years ago, his estimate was that the Ryukyus would have to undergo a day and a night of bombardment before their morale would collapse, but after seeing the power of the new artillery with his own eyes today, the old man was finally relieved.

"Okay, well, now that Naha has become a ghost town, I firmly believe that this group of stinky people has already scared the six souls without a master, and the little courage that Xiao Lotian brought to them may have already exhausted...... Hahaha, I've got it..."

"Come on, prepare the boat, I'm going to meet the envoy on the Glory, we will win this battle..."

In Gong Cheng's heart, it would have been quite surprising that the people of the Ryukyus could calm down from the rice riots, in the hearts of this kind of villain, everyone is selfish, and the people are untouchables, and they can sell their sons and daughters for a bite to eat. 、

What bullshit countries and nations are not as important as the interests of their own families, and slaves like ants do not have the right to choose their masters, and as long as they have food to eat and a house to live in, who cares whether they are ruled by foreigners or dominated by Japanese on top of their heads?

One qiē is just a change of master to continue to kowtow, maybe Lord Yang is in a good mood to reward two bowls of white rice, and the untouchables who are full of food and drink are not allowed to sing praises of virtue?

"Ryukyu, Ryukyu... You now think that I am a heinous and bad person, and that I am the culprit who ruined your country, but it will not be a hundred years before you will have to thank me all...... I remember clearly, this world pays attention to the respect of the strong, and if you don't follow the strongest side, do you still mix with the weakest side?"

"Damn, a bunch of stupid birds, do you know what colonization is? That is, the higher races send civilization envoys to manage the weaker peoples, this is the generosity of the foreign people, a stupid person doesn't know how to appreciate it. ”

"Hmph...... Wait, someone will definitely make a statue for me in a hundred years, those idiots who stand in front of me, sooner or later your end will be a kneeling statue..."
