The last one who was still standing to resist was surrounded by several Hongtang team members from all directions, and they were simply cut down to the ground, showing in front of the Hongtang team members, it was already a thoroughfare.

The gate of the walled city, after the Japanese rushed out, did not close again, and without caring about cleaning the battlefield, Hongtang's team members rushed into the dilapidated city along the wide open walled gate.

At this time, in the walled city, except for a mess of materials, wounded and corpses, there was nothing else, Hongtang team members rummaged through the entire walled city, and still did not find the figure of Birch Mountain Hisada, just like the previous battlefield shouted, it seems that this Japanese general Birch Mountain Hisaka, has fled this island.

And on the back side of the battlefield of Amami Island, on the distant sea, a fast boat was heading in the northeast direction at a high speed, gradually disappearing into the sea.

When Wu Daofu stepped down from the "Intrepid" and stepped on the land of Amami Island for the first time, the first thing that caught his eyes was the devastated earth and the corpses that could be seen everywhere.

Especially on the ground near the Amami Walled City, the entire land is stained red with the blood of soldiers on both sides, and the black and red enchanted land makes people feel terrified.

The last counterattack of the Japanese people was both fierce and abnormal, and caught the Hongtang team members off guard, although they finally succeeded in defeating this bloody warrior, but their own casualties were also heavy.

"Pass the order, all the team members hurry up to clean up the battlefield, rest, and there is a big battle waiting for us!" I felt extremely uncomfortable in my heart, but I looked at Wu Daofu in the far east with a solemn face, and his deep voice reached the ears of all the non-commissioned officers.

"Yes!"

I don't know when, Shang Zhong also ran off the boat, looking at Wu Daofu who was standing quietly in the battlefield with both excitement and a little urgency, until he issued an order to dismiss the team members around him, Shang Zhong dared to approach the commander in front of him.

When King Shang Ning and Shang Zhong first approached Hong Tang, although they knew a little about Hong Tang and had truly felt Hong Tang's strength through naval battles, what they ultimately valued was Hong Tang's powerful naval combat ability. For an archipelago country, as long as they control the sea, then no matter how strong the land battle is for other opponents, they will not be able to use it.

This is also an important reason why King Shangning dared to find a group of folk pirates and pinned their hopes on them. As for the Amami Goshima Islands, which were occupied by the Japanese people, for them the Ryukyuan people, the military strength is not strong enough, so what difference does it make if they don't recover it?

But who would have thought that this Hongtang not only won the naval battle, but also really recovered the five islands of Amami, which in Shang Zhong's opinion, is incredible, but also shameful and afraid!

Their Ryukyu Kingdom, the military strength is not as good as a group of pirates, which makes them embarrassed, if they Hongtang really have evil intentions, turn around and attack their Ryukyu and overthrow the rule of King Shangning, it will not be a difficult matter!

"Reinforcements from Samoto are about to arrive soon, I don't know how Commander Wu is going to deal with it?" Shang Zhong carefully avoided the corpses and blood stains on the ground, walked up to Wu Daofu, and asked with a bright smile.

"Guard, what do you think we should do?" Wu Daofu did not answer positively, but asked Shang Zhonglai.

"In the eyes of the lower officials, we should take advantage of the momentum of this great victory to take the initiative to attack and strangle this group of Japanese people on the sea." Shang Zhong didn't know if it was because of this battle to show confidence or what, with excitement and envy looked at the group of elite Hongtang members who were cleaning the battlefield, and said his plan: "We inquired clearly, although there are many soldiers from Samosa, but their warships do not seem to be enough, it is said that in order to transport this group of officers and soldiers, they also temporarily requisitioned many merchant ships in their sphere of influence, including the merchants who are friendly with us in the Ryukyus. ”

Wu Daofu looked at Shang Zhong quietly, this news was not told to them by their Ryukyu messenger yesterday, and it was not until after this battle that it came out of Shang Zhong's mouth, but the meaning was different: "Look at our battle today, how many manpower we have lost, and the loss of ammunition is about the same, where is there still the strength to fight another battle!" ”

"I think there are still enough manpower, anyway, Samoto reinforcements will arrive in four days, we can rest for two days first, rectify and boost morale." Shang Zhong licked his face and said with a smile: "I will go back and report to my king, and ask him to reward these brave warriors, and I will never treat everyone badly." ”

"As for the ammunition, before the war, I can guarantee that you will definitely be able to replenish the supplies you need!"

Wu Daofu glanced at Shang Zhong with deep eyes, and saw that he laughed again and again, feeling uncomfortable, as if he had been seen through by Wu Daofu, and in the end, when Shang Zhong thought that Wu Daofu would refuse, Wu Daofu suddenly agreed: "Well, in fact, I think so too." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back and help the head of the regiment prepare your supplies." After receiving Wu Daofu's affirmative reply, Shang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and walked back, but in the corners of his mouth and eyes, a mysterious smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan was fleeting.

Wu Daofu's gloomy eyes watched Shang Zhong leave, how could he not know the calculation of this fashion loyalty, the battle of Amami Island, to be honest, was a lose-lose situation, the main force of the Japanese people in the Ryukyu Kingdom was finished, and the rest were just some stragglers, not to be afraid.

On the other hand, Hongtang, who originally thought that they should not be able to defeat the Japanese in a land battle, not only defeated Amami Goshima, but also looked at the trend, and the rest of their troops had 2,000 people, which was a big threat to their Ryukyu Kingdom in the future.

Therefore, this time, Shang Zhong tried his best to instigate Wu Daofu to lead this group of remnants to the sea to besiege the team that came to help Satsuma, but in fact, it was still to make both sides lose and lose their strength. The best result was naturally that Hongtang repelled the reinforcements from Samosa, but his own fleet also suffered heavy losses, and he could not pose a threat to the Ryukyu Kingdom in the short term.

When their Ryukyuan people quickly recruit troops in the kingdom and have the strength to defend, then even if Hongtang recovers some strength, they may not dare to hit their Ryukyu kingdom with their ideas.

However, although Wu Daofu guessed through Shang Zhong's thoughts, the reason why he still agreed to the other party in the end was that he thought of Li Tianyang's instructions, and now they and Satsuma are on the same page, since this is the case, they can only go one way to the dark. Whether it is from the perspective of alliance relations or from the consideration of self-interest, it is a win-win situation in itself to wear down Samosa's military strength to the greatest extent.

And if you want to eat this group of Japanese reinforcements from afar, it is better to go to sea and fight with the other party on the sea than to defend the city, so that Hongtang's casualties will definitely be smaller.
