54 The move of the Japanese people
Soon, there were other actions in the Japanese camp, but this time the team dispatched was not a well-trained Japanese samurai, or a sturdy pirate and the like.
The team that came out made the king of the Ryukyus, who was watching with a telescope on the sea, call out at once: "Isn't that my visit to Prime Minister Feng Xilian?" Is there still my son Shang Zhijie? ”
Until looking at such a team of no more than 100 people, slowly approaching the Amami Walled City, and seemed to shout something towards the city under the city, but it was limited to the function of the telescope now, Zhao Xingdou and Shangning Wang They did not know whether there was any specific movement of the prey in the Amami Walled City.
Unfortunately, there is a Japanese camp diagonally inserted in the middle between the Amami Walled City and Hongtang, and if Hongtang sends a fleet desperately, bypassing the location of the Japanese to march into the city or send messengers, I am afraid that before the Hongtang fleet reaches its destination, the Japanese army will already be ready to intercept it in advance.
The powerful Hongtang warriors at sea, when they reach the ground, they are not invincible opponents, and the remaining Japanese warriors in the special operations camp have already proved to most of the soldiers in the Hongtang Department what it means to be a Japanese warrior.
Although it is not an invincible opponent, for the Hongtang team with only 14,500 people at the moment, every Hongtang warrior is their precious combat power, and it is impossible to use it for such a senseless sacrifice.
After Zhao Xingdou received the king of Shangning in the Ryukyus, he sent people to Amami Walled City in advance to report the news, but that required a long distance by sea and another stretch of primeval jungle to reach it. At this time, they didn't know if the team sent to report the news had the Oshima Amami Walled City, or maybe they were under the walled city, and they probably didn't get into the city.
However, Zhao Xingdou and they will not sit still, although they can't hear the specific purpose of the Ryukyu minister and prince sent by the Japanese people, but considering their actions to capture the capital of Shuri and the worries of King Shangning, Zhao Xingdou and they can't let the Japanese people do things so unscrupulously in front of them.
The sea ship that King Shangning took was originally secretly supplied with ammunition to supplement Hongtang and replenish their supplies, in order to cover up the needs of people's eyes and ears, but also to reduce trouble, after all, the Japanese people have been operating on the main island of Ryukyu for more than ten years, who knows if there are their eyes and ears on the island.
Although there was no way to replenish the supplies to Zhao Xingdou and them on the main island of Ryukyu after this time, at this moment, the sea ship that King Shangning was on was just replenished with a boatload of supplies, which was originally intended to be transported by King Shangning to Zhao Xingdou and them, but later because of the escape, he brought King Shangning and them, who were also preparing to come to the Amami Sea.
Therefore, with the supply of ammunition from this ship, Zhao Xingdou and the others naturally did not have to care about the ammunition for a short time, just so that the team of Japanese and Ryukyu envoys who walked out of the camp and came to the open land experienced what is called hell on earth.
As for the Ryukyu prince who looks young, but only eleven or twelve years old, in the eyes of the Ryukyu king, it may not be more important than the early country.
After obtaining the approval of King Shangning, Zhao Xingdou and the others had no scruples, rushed to the sea area of Amami Wharf, and shot at the team in front.
After two days of rest, the pirate team once again had a certain combat strength, plus the more than ten warships and sailors who had been left by Shimazu Hisao to support the field and cover up the wrong number of their siege teams, they were not idle at this time, and finally went to sea again and entangled with Hongtang.
It's just that Yuan Laoba took the pirates to take the initiative to seek a naval battle with the Hongtang fleet before, but the pirate fleet that came out today was firing various artillery, firearms, bows and crossbows and other long-range weapons towards the Hongtang fleet, while carefully maintaining the distance between them and the Hongtang fleet, for fear that if they didn't pay attention to it, they would be caught by the Hongtang fleet and annihilated.
Therefore, it is not so much that these pirate warships are pestering the Hongtang fleet, but rather that their fleet is making a show for the Japanese people, except for those pitiful artillery, what kind of accuracy and lethality can the bows and crossbows and muskets fired from more than a hundred feet away!
Instead, the Hongtang fleet unscrupulously sailed sideways into the harbor, sending a few warships to scatter and chase after the pirate fleet next to it, which was inferior to dogskin plaster, while venting its artillery fire on the battlefield between Amami Castle and the Japanese camp.
However, although King Shangning is willing to give up his son, Zhao Xingdou still has some scruples, who can guarantee that this Ryukyu king will not settle accounts after the autumn, and remember in his heart the hatred of their Hongtang killing his own son!
After all, the flesh and blood are connected, and the emperor's family heard that the family affection is indifferent, but there is no guarantee that someone will take advantage of this matter to find trouble in Hongtang and give the Ryukyu Shangning King eye medicine!
The sound of artillery fire was loud, but there were only a few shells around the team that really landed on the battlefield.
Even so, the team escorted by the Japanese people was still in chaos because of this, and they scattered and fled, and the most unbearable thing was the Ryukyu minister and the young prince, who had seen such a bloody and violent scene, and they were paralyzed on the spot in fright, so that the Japanese had to divide people to carry them back.
As for the subsequent shouting that originally wanted to continue, even the two parties were already like this, and the widows could only give up for the time being.
Fortunately, before the appearance of the Hongtang fleet, the Wajin had already asked the Ryukyu minister and prince to verbally convey the will of the so-called Ryukyu Shoning King, saying that they had listened to the Ryukyu warriors in the Amami Walled City, and the effect was good, and then it was up to the castle to choose.
There was indeed some panic in the city, and the two Ryukyuan people brought by the Japanese people were in a prominent position, and most of the military attachés of the Ryukyuan people in the walled city had an impression of this Ryukyuan prime minister. After all, the land of the Ryukyu Kingdom is small, and few of the people who can climb to the official position are from poor families, so they can naturally come into contact with the children of the royal family and the backbone of the country.
Now that the edict is coming from the lips of the prime minister and prince of a country, how can you make this group of Ryukyuan people dare not be unconvinced!
Wu Daofu didn't expect that things would rise to prominence and evolve into what he is now, but he couldn't figure it out anyway, how could the king of the Ryukyus, who had died and come to ask Hongtang for help, say that he would turn his face!
Unless there are some incredible changes taking place in the Shuri royal castle on the main island of Ryukyu at this moment, the attitude of this king of Shangning will not have undergone such a major change.
Seeing that the Ryukyu warriors around him gradually began to stir, Wu Daofu looked at the Hongtang warship on the sea with worry, and the Ryukyu main island that could not be seen in the distance.
