The Hongtang warriors came in time, and although the Japanese commander Shimazu Hisao had already seen Hongtang's movements, his brigade of samurai had been dispatched to the battle at the city gate, in a vain attempt to attack the city in one fell swoop.

When Shimazu Hisao and the more than 500 samurai who stayed behind in the camp blocked the way of Hongtang's 1,000 warriors, the pressure they were under was even greater than that of the Ryukyu warriors in the Amami Walled City to take advantage of the Japanese attack.

The Hongtang warriors had few opponents in naval warfare, this was because from the beginning of Hongtang's establishment, they had to fight against pirates and the like, but this did not mean that their land battles were bad.

As mentioned above, in the same scale of warrior combat, the Hongtang warriors actually have a certain advantage in large-scale battles because they are familiar with the battle. It's just that the Japanese warriors are not vegetarians, and they can rely on thousands of Japanese warriors scattered in the South China Sea to create the biggest Japanese disaster in the Jiajing period, although Xu Hai, Wang Zhi and other generations are indispensable to help the trouble, but it also naturally reflects the strong combat ability of the Japanese people.

However, at this time, the number of Hongtang is twice as much as the team led by Shimazu Hisao, and in the past few days, the Hongtang soldiers only need to deal with the harassment of the pirate fleet on the sea, so it can be said that they have been recuperating for a long time.

Under the leadership of Shimazu Hisao, a Japanese general, the Japanese samurai fought hard, and although they retreated step by step, it also delayed the time for their deep Japanese samurai to adjust the direction of their operations.

After most of the Japanese people came out to support Shimazu Hisao, the tiger-like offensive of the Hongtang warriors was finally contained. However, correspondingly, the Japanese attack on the gate of Amami Walled City also had room for maneuver because of the allocation of men and horses to return to help, at least Wu Daofu and other Ryukyu warriors in the city finally withstood the attack of the Japanese and never let the other side take a step forward.

The three parties seemed to be at a stalemate in this way, the Japanese were caught in the middle and couldn't make it up, and the team of Hongtang and the Ryukyu warriors was also weak, and there was no way to go further.

However, soon, the Japanese team became familiar with the offensive of Hongtang and the Ryukyu warriors, after all, it was still an elite team, and there were not many burdens like the Ryukyu warriors, and the Japanese samurai, who dared to fight more in the battle and knew how to fight, also controlled the battle situation step by step.

Although the Hongtang warriors were brave, but their number was really a little smaller, in the face of several times their own Japanese team, they tried their best, and they could only drag down the Japanese warriors who were only more than 1,000 people, and the remaining more than 2,000 Japanese were still desperately attacking the Amami Walled City.

Before, they were only affected by the sudden landing of the Hongtang warriors, and they were worried that the commander would lose something, so the Japanese were a little lax when attacking Amami Castle, but after the defense was stabilized at this time, for the Japanese samurai, without Shimazu Hisao's orders, they also knew to step up the attack and attack and sweep away the Ryukyu warriors in the Amami Walled City.

Although there were many Ryukyu soldiers, in the frontal duel with real swords and guns, the numerical advantage could not be converted into actual combat effectiveness, and they were pressed and beaten by the Japanese samurai, who were more than twice as small as them.

If it weren't for Wu Daofu and the non-commissioned officers of the former Hongtang who he placed in the Ryukyu team, it was not for Wu Daofu and the non-commissioned officers he placed in the Ryukyu team, otherwise I am afraid that this group of Ryukyu soldiers would really be scattered as fish and birds, instead of struggling to support it as they are now.

However, depending on the situation, this kind of resistance is probably coming to an end, and the people are not stupid, how can they not find out which people are the backbone of this team among the professors for such a long time. Therefore, in the battle, these Japanese people threw more pressure and killing opportunities into these backbones, and when the war continued until now, there were few backbones of the original Hongtang who could survive.

When Wu Daofu had a few more wounds and blood marks on his body, and under the cover of the guards around him, he retreated step by step, and the Ryukyu team defending against the Japanese in Amami Castle already showed signs of collapse.

"Commander, what should I do?" The guards around him were also good hands from Hong Tang, and they also asked with a pant at this time.

The city gate has been lost, and at this moment, the Ryukyu warriors in Amami Castle have been involuntarily divided into small gangs under the infinite pressure of the Japanese people, fighting in all corners of the city, and some have even begun to show signs of rout.

At the same time, the families of the team members who stayed in the city and the residents of the original city also began to flee in all directions because of the Japanese people who came in, and the scene became chaotic.

"Hold on to it!" Wu Daofu was very unwilling, if he retreated this time, they would not have much strength to recover the five islands of Amami in a short period of time.

And the Ryukyu Kingdom has put almost all its troops into it, and if Amami Goto misses, it means that the Japanese will be able to go south and recapture the main island of the Ryukyus, but the Ryukyu Shoning King is powerless!

Coupled with the unknown situation of the Shuri capital, which is completely unknown at this moment, it may be faster than Wu Daofu and his family expected, and when the news of the failure of the Amami offensive and defensive battle reaches the main island of Ryukyu, it is very likely that the entire Ryukyu Kingdom will surrender without a fight.

The thing that Wu Daofu is most unwilling to do is that this is the beautiful five islands, but they sacrificed nearly 2,000 warriors up and down in Hongtang, and this money has not been recovered, and it will be taken back by the Japanese people.

But until now, Wu Daofu still wants to hold on, not for other reasons, but if Wu Daofu has a trace of cowardice at this moment, I am afraid that all the Ryukyu soldiers in this Amami walled city will be defeated like a plate of scattered sand, and then the pickpocket will not even have a trace of combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the siege war has been fought so far, for Wu Daofu and them, this is not necessarily a bad thing, the Ryukyu soldiers in the walled city are very familiar with the streets and alleys, and if they want to shake off the entanglement of a group of Japanese people, or join a certain group of colleagues, and fight a front and back attack, it is a simpler thing than defending the city.

The only thing to worry about is that at this moment, among the Ryukyu soldiers, there are a few fewer non-commissioned officers who dare to fight with them and have good practical combat experience to take the lead, which makes the strength of the Ryukyu soldiers in street fighting a little weaker.

Those military attachés in Ryukyu are themselves absent-minded, and if they are not in awe of the edict given by King Shoning of the Ryukyus, they will not be the first to escape, and it is their group of military attachés!
