105 Explosion

The place where the foggy imp hides gunpowder is very hidden, and the cargo piles that are often seen on the docks are fixed with rope nets, and inside the four largest cargo piles, each of which hides a hundred kilograms of black powder.

The Fog Imp had carefully calculated that these four gunpowder piles were right in the core area of the dock clearing, and if there was a battle, this would be the most tragic battlefield. If Xiao Lotian wants to command the battle, he must personally go to the danger ground, and when the time comes, as long as he ignites the pile of gunpowder closest to him, he will definitely die.

In the hands of the Misty Imp is a Japanese secret fire meteor, this kind of firearm soaked in grease is difficult to extinguish once ignited, and it is very fast and difficult to resist.

"Gunpowder...... Ambush ......" Bingta and Chixia slumped in the distance at the entrance of the street, screaming with the last of their strength, two Chinese phrases full of danger reverberated back and forth in the air of the dock.

At the critical moment, it still depends on the master of the green forest, Xiang Shaolong knew that this fire meteor was not something he could stop, and Long Ye threw himself into a tiger pounce and directly pressed Xiao Letian to the ground.

"Stacking Arhats...... "Lord Long was crazy, as soon as he heard ......the word gunpowder, he was already scared into white sweat.

It was followed by a group of the most loyal guards, who pounced on Xiao Letian one after another, pressing him to the point where he was about to die. "Let it go...... Let go ......" Xiao Lotian couldn't even speak.

There is no reason on the battlefield, all people's actions are subconscious, and when the people saw that these soldiers who were like Mount Tai were going to protect Lord Xiao, they also rushed forward.

"Protect your lordship...... Protect Lord Xiao......" The crowd rushed forward like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, a large human ball was piled up on the dock.

At this moment, the fire meteor drew a tricky trajectory and burrowed into the cargo pile, followed by a burst of explosions that shattered the ground, and the shock wave swept across the entire dock, throwing everyone within a radius of ten meters from the center of the explosion.

The human body at the center of the explosion flew in the air like rag dolls, the smashed wooden boxes and cargo fragments crackled down like rain, and the largest Xiao Zi recognition flag rolled and flew out, and finally the end of the bamboo pole was fiercely inserted into the crack of the wooden board, and the recognition flag had been blown up and dilapidated.

More than 200 civilians and soldiers around the center of the explosion were killed on the spot, and more than 300 people were injured by the shock wave, and the burning wood chips fell like a rain of fire, and the open space of the dock completely turned into a Shura hell.

Fortunately, the four gunpowder burial sites were far enough away that the explosion did not cause a chain reaction, and if all four piles of gunpowder exploded, then the more than 2,000 Chinese present would have to be wiped out.

The power of the shock wave should not be underestimated, and when the explosion occurred, even the Misty Hidden Imp and Noheita who were far away on the roof of the house lay down to dodge. When the power of the explosion had just dissipated, the little ghost jumped up excitedly and conjured two more fire meteors in his hands, "Qingguo slaves, go and die......"

"You go to death first, murderer ......" Before the foggy imp could finish speaking, the knife wind blew behind her, and Noheita had already rushed up.

Nohei really couldn't understand how these people could be so cruel, and it was not enough to provoke a civil war between the Japanese and the Qing people, and even used gunpowder as an ambush, did they have the pleasure of killing people? Nohei was ruthless and went straight to the key point of the imp in the fog, and this cunning woman could not resist it, so she had to flee in the direction of the back mountain.

The violent explosion on the dock alarmed all the forces in Naha Port, and the first to be stunned was the foreigners on the sea. When the explosion sounded, all the merchant ships almost subconsciously pushed open the cannon doors, and the black hole of the cannon was facing the dock and waited for the captains' orders.

But in the end, these captains still chose neutrality, they watched hundreds of Chinese being blown up, Xiao Letian's flag was blown up, and everyone thought that Xiao Lotian was certain to die.

"Maintain neutrality, we continue to maintain neutrality, at present, it seems that the defeat of the Chinese people is decided, without the guidance of heroes, it is impossible for this group of scattered people to maintain their combat effectiveness......"

Countless merchant ships were communicating with each other, and all the captains were making a neutral decision almost at the same time, just north of the merchant fleet, a fleet was rapidly approaching the docks of Naha.

"Report to the captain, there is a Japanese ship to the north, and they are begging us to give way, they are going to land at the dock......" After a while, countless lookouts began to report the latest situation to the captains of each ship.

"What? the Japanese dispatched their navy?" all the captains were amazed at that moment. Although everyone looked down on the Japanese warships of the Middle Ages, they knew that these warships loaded with primitive cannons, although they could not even defeat the merchant ships of the Westerners, were a one-sided slaughter for the common people.

The sailors, who still had a hint of conscience in their hearts, clenched his muskets, as if they had seen the Japanese guns firing at the slaughter of the Chinese, and they could guess that the captains of the merchant ships would certainly remain neutral.

However, to everyone's surprise, the American merchant ship Enterprise suddenly signaled the lights, and he actually refused the Japanese ship's borrowing behavior on the grounds that the sea conditions were chaotic in the middle of the night and could not be avoided.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Enterprise took the lead, and all the American merchant ships on the sea made it clear that they refused to give way. The merchant ships of other countries did not know what the Americans were crazy about, but for the common interests of the Westerners, they could only follow the American merchant ships to send signals.

At the most critical time, it was Xiao Letian's identity as a Western Grandmaster who helped him, and the American captains not only saw the previous foreign gun trade with Xiao Letian, but they also knew that the young American named Mike Carnegie was running around Xiao Letian, and they were very close to Xiao Lotian emotionally.

Although the merchants could not directly provide military support to Xiao Letian, they were still very happy to cause some trouble to the Japanese.

The Japanese ship was full of lights, and countless figures were running back and forth, perhaps they didn't expect these foreigners to be so tough and not give face at all. But at this time, the Japanese had just experienced a Shimonoseki incident, and they were beaten by the foreigners one by one when they were terrified, and the foreigners did not dare to break through if they did not give way.

A stalemate is underway on the sea, and a small stalemate is underway on land.

Just when the flames of the explosion were soaring into the sky, Yamamoto Kiyoshi looked up to the sky excitedly and howled, "It's done...... The ambush circle has been successful, and all the soldiers have obeyed the order and killed the streets of Naha to quell the rebellion caused by the Qing people......"

Just after Yamamoto Kiyoshi walked out of the barracks with the soldiers, he met the old man of the Birch Mountain family who came in a hurry.

"Yamamoto-kun, are you going to deal with the Qing people? Do you really think that if you kill all the Qing people in this city, you will win? It's too stupid......" The old man of the Huashan family could guess his plan as soon as he looked at the direction of Yamamoto Kiyoshi's troops.

Yamamoto Kiyoshi said excitedly, "My lord, my plan this time is very perfect, the fog hidden imp has detonated the gunpowder pile on the dock, Xiao Lotian must be dead now, and even his recognition flag has fallen." The Qing people have no leader, and they are now a herd of sheep to be slaughtered......"

"Baga!" Birch Mountain Liyuan frantically rushed up and opened his bow left and right and gave him two big mouths, "Our Shimazu family is not a murderer, why should we kill all the Chinese in the city?

Yamamoto Kiyoshi couldn't understand why he had been reprimanded for making such a great contribution. This time he wasn't as obedient as before, and he even put his hand on the handle of the sword.

"Elder of the Birch Mountain family, are you questioning the dignity of my samurai?" The cold tone was like a poisonous snake.

Takenaka Inoue saw that the atmosphere was too tense, and hurriedly walked to the center of the two, "Yamamoto-kun, are you going to rebel? Have you forgotten the kindness of Lord Kayama to you......?

"As you said, your previous plan was perfect, but there is a problem with the later goal. Now our target should be Shurijo, not the Chinese in the city. As long as we control the king of Shangtai, then the Qing people will be defeated in any case......"

"Hahaha......" Kiyoshi Yamamoto suddenly laughed wildly, and he pushed Takechu Inoue away, "King Shangtai, Shuri Castle, those fearless guys, do you still dare to rebel? As long as we kill all the Qing people in the city, these slaves will only kneel on the ground and lick our toes......"

Yamamoto Kiyoshi waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him surrounded him with spears, "Lord Kayama, I apologize to you, but today I must complete my original plan, and I won't change anything......"

At this moment, a ashiki ran over and knelt in front of Kayama Kurigen, "Report to your lordship, our ship has been activated, they are rushing in the direction of the dock, and they are preparing to join the battle......"

"Nani! Kiyoshi Yamamoto, you even dare to transfer the navy without permission? Are you still a samurai of the Shimazu family!"

"Of course I am, I always am, and I know that the pursuit of a samurai is only battle and victory, I want the blood of the enemy, let your strategy go to hell......" Yamamoto Kiyoshi strode over after speaking, and the old man of the Biryama family didn't dare to stop him at that moment.

In the end, Kayama Kurigen did not stop Yamamoto Kiyoshi, he knew that there were too many violent generals like Yamamoto Kiyoshi in Japan, although this kind of people usually looked down on the superiority and inferiority, but it was precisely because they attached too much importance to the superiority and inferiority that they had a sense of worship that was close to religion.

This group of fanatical samurai, in order to make their identity to the next level, even did not hesitate to throw away their own lives. This may be the sadness shared by the lower echelons of a society like Japan, which is rigid in class.

Kiyoshi Yamamoto is gone, taking with him a thousand Ashigaru loyal to him, and their goal is the burning port of Naha. And Kayama Kurigen with two thousand ashigaru loyal to him, the target is Shuri Castle.

"Takeo who doesn't know how to govern, if the fate of Japan finally falls into your hands, what a terrible thing it is......" Takenaka Inoue looked at the back of Kiyoshi Yamamoto in the distance, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

If Xiao Lotian could hear Takeaka Inoue's heart, he would definitely rush up to shake hands and shout twice as a confidant. Because the fortunes of Japan in the previous life were destroyed at the hands of extremely crazy samurai, the so-called Japanese militarism is actually just an evolution of the most fanatical bushido.

The ultimate fate of Japan's national fortunes is to be kidnapped by violence, not only in Asia, but also in themselves. K
