After a night's rest, the next day's battle was even more fierce and ferocious.

Because the pirate fleet is becoming more and more powerless, the blow inflicted by the Hongtang fleet on the sea to the Japanese siege team is also becoming more and more powerful.

Fortunately, during the daytime yesterday, the three powerful artillery guns of the Japanese people did not give up the destruction of the city gate, and today, although the Ryukyu soldiers rushed to repair it last night, and the other side had more debris behind the city gate to deal with it, but now it seems that there is little effect.

On the dilapidated city gate, the cannon ports bombarded by various shells, and you can almost see the scene behind the city gate at a glance. It's not so much a city gate as a sieve with dozens of holes!

At this moment, in the face of the shelling of the Hongtang fleet from the sea, they no longer thought that they could save these three guns, and unusually, the Japanese people stepped up their efforts to launch a fierce bombardment of the gate of the Amami Walled City before the three guns were destroyed by the Hongtang fleet!

The siege battle was considered a failure, and the Japanese general Shimazu Hisao had to admit that it was indeed a very difficult thing to capture the next walled city with a geographical advantage when the number of people was only a small number.

Especially when the other party has artillery support from the sea, even if the samurai are elite, they can't stand it and be scattered by Hongtang's artillery fire halfway! And siege operations, which have lost the advantage of clusters, are not very useful no matter how elite they are.

Therefore, Shimazu Hisao had no choice but to change his mind and put the key to open Amami Castle on the gate that was easier to open.

"Pour! Pour! Pour! ”

The gates of the city gates, which had been destroyed for a long time, finally fell into dust and turned into pieces of wood in the cries of the widows with resentment. At the same time, the last two artillery batteries of the Japanese people, which had always been regarded as the key targets, also fell into the coverage of Hongtang's artillery fire, but at this time, the artillery batteries that were no longer useful, the Japanese people had already hugged their heads and ran away, and they had to hurry up to load ammunition before they saw the situation before.

"It's time, charge me and kill Zhezhe!" The city gate fell to the ground, and now the debris and broken wood that piled up after going out of the door, and then fell to the ground with the collapse of the city gate, although it is not a convenient door to open widely, but it is also more secure than the Japanese people climbing the wall under artillery fire!

"Xiao Xiurong, give you five hundred people, be sure to guard the city gate for me!!" At the same time, Wu Daofu's face also changed greatly, today there was originally the support of artillery fire on the sea of Hongtang, the Ryukyu soldiers were barely beginning to get used to this fierce battle scene, and with the advantage of the city wall, it seems that the Ryukyu soldiers have no problem with the three or five Japanese style.

But who would have thought that the offensive and defensive warfare that had just been on the right track, because of a target shift of the Japanese people, would soon re-enter another stage, a more critical stage.

Xiao Xiurong reacted in a timely manner, and before the Japanese rushed to the city gate, they preemptively seized the small dirt slope at the city gate that was piled up with ruins and broken walls and waste bricks and tiles, which was regarded as a simple wall.

However, compared to the previous siege ladders, this simple wall does not have a steep slope, and in the eyes of the Japanese samurai, it is not too different from the wide open gate, and at most it still takes a lot of effort.

This can be said to be the first time that the Ryukyu warriors really had a head-to-head confrontation between the Japanese and the Ryukyu warriors, and the Ryukyu warriors still had a slight advantage in terms of geography, but only more than 100 Japanese warriors had to charge, and they almost took down the city gate, so that Wu Daofu, who commanded people on the roof of the building to keep using bows and crossbows to contain the Japanese warriors, wiped the cold sweat on their faces.

The gap between the warriors between each other was undoubtedly revealed at this time, and before they were barely able to stalemate with the Japanese samurai, most of them still relied on the advantage of thick and tall city walls, but this time everyone was on the ground at the same time, and after the Japanese people were freed up, the Ryukyu warriors resisted the attack of the Japanese people, and they needed to take their lives to fill it.

Five hundred Ryukyu warriors, facing the Japanese warriors who were only in their early 100s, and had a lot of bows and crossbows on the city wall, but in the end, they were still beaten into the city by the Japanese warriors from the mound at the city gate, and finally had to set fire to the timber and wood that had been prepared on the side for a long time, which made the Japanese people unwilling to retreat.

The first thing the Japanese did after retreating was to run back to the original fort position, rebuild the two guns that were only buried in the earth but did not have much damage, and once again aim at the collapsed mound at the gate of the city and the blazing flames behind the mound.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Every shot of the cannonball seemed to hit the Ryukyu warriors, including Wu Daofu, and they could only pray from their hearts that the crosshairs of these two cannons would be a little more biased, and that the Japanese would not open a gap and eventually rush into the city.

However, the truth is always so cruel, the Japanese people's fort is too close to the city gate, and it is infinitely powerful, almost equivalent to the angle of flat fire, just under a few rounds of shelling, the mountain of waste bricks and tiles at the city gate was blown apart, and the blazing bonfire behind it was only a cannonball, and it suddenly turned into a brilliant firework and disappeared into the numerous buildings behind the city gate.

Without hesitation, the Japanese warriors immediately launched the next wave of attack, rushing towards the entrance of the gate that was now completely open, and it seemed that no one could force them to move forward at this time, and even many of the Japanese were already so excited that they began to let out all kinds of roars and beastly roars!

"He's nnd, it's the gentlemen who have to follow me!" At this time, no matter how many people were left on the city wall, it seemed that there was not much use, Wu Daofu knew that the most dangerous moment was coming, regardless of the tearing pain caused by the wound on his body due to the second movement, he was the first to pull out a long knife and rush to the city tower to join Xiao Xiurong and them.

At the gate of the city, there was a crowd of people for a while, and the sound of fighting shook the heavens and the earth, and the blood flowed on the ground, even if it was Wu Daofu. They were fully mentally prepared, but when they watched their Duo Wu being forced back step by step by the Japanese warriors, the sense of powerlessness and anxiety filled their hearts, but they couldn't help it!

In the end, it was the Hongtang fleet members who rushed to the last moment to save Wu Daofu and them, the artillery fire on the sea had stopped for a long time, and the boatload of ammunition brought by the king of Shangning in the Ryukyus finally couldn't withstand such consumption by Hongtang, and finally the ammunition ran out!

And when they saw the Japanese people blasting open the gate of the Amami Walled City, Zhao Xingdou and the others knew that if they didn't help the Ryukyu warriors in the walled city, then it would only be a matter of time before the Walled City finally changed hands.

Therefore, the Hongtang fleet ignored the pirate fleet that had been pestering around it, and resolutely divided a thousand people to the island as a new force to join the attack and defense of the walled city, while the remaining more than 400 Hongtang warriors launched a large number of warships and played a cat-and-mouse game with the pirate fleet again, but at this time, the position of the Hongtang fleet once again became a mouse!
