"Your Highness, how did you get here?" Zhao Xingdou looked at the sea ship that suddenly appeared next to their fleet in front of him, thinking that the ammunition and materials supported by the Ryukyu Kingdom had arrived, but at the time of handover, a person who came out of the sea ship surprised Zhao Xingdou.

"Ahem, Zhao Warrior don't come unharmed!" Perhaps he was too frightened and fled all night, but the face of King Shangning of the Ryukyus was a little more sick at this time, and even the speaker was coughing.

But it is inevitable, looking at the age of King Shang Ning now, in this era, a person can live to be sixty or seventy years old, which is already considered a high life. As the king of a country, although the living conditions of King Shangning are much better than ordinary people, he has lived in a shallow life all the year round, and he has been so frightened by lack of exercise, and it is normal for the whole person to have some problems.

However, the words that came out of the mouth of King Shangning made Zhao Xingdou and others, who were originally surprised and surprised that the king of a country suddenly visited the battlefield, was even more shocked: "The lone king is incompetent, and he was suddenly attacked by the Japanese Samosa, causing my Shuri capital to fall into his hands, and now I am here to ask for the help of the warriors!" ”

"What, Shurijo Castle is lost??" This news is really amazing, if it weren't for the mouth of King Shangning, the king of the Ryukyus, Zhao Xingdou and they would not want to believe it anyway.

It wasn't until a long time ago that Zhao Xingdou and the others woke up to the fire and reluctantly accepted the news with full shock, and then they began to think about the impact of this incident.

After all, Hongtang is a guest army, if it really comes to the point where it is impossible to do anything, then Zhao Xingdou and they also need to reconsider the next thing.

Although the Ryukyu Kingdom is rich and rich, for Hongtang, the arrangement of the Ryukyu Kingdom is more about the future, and for today's Bengang team, no amount of money is as important as Hongtang's armed forces.

"I wonder how many Japanese people attacked the capital of Shuri this time?" After the shock, Zhao Xingdou and the others naturally began to ask about the topics they were more concerned about.

Da'an is really embarrassed by this question, and King Shangning, who is the person concerned, even until now, doesn't know how many people and horses have been dispatched by the Japanese warriors.

Waiting for King Shangning to call out the dozen or so attendants who fled with him, from the mouths of these attendants, Zhao Xingdou and they heard a completely different answer, the number of Japanese people fluctuated from hundreds to 10,000, and no one could say why.

The only thing that still has some credibility is the answer given by a royal forest guard who experienced the attack and defense of the royal city and ran back at the last moment to report to the king of Shangning, according to his account, the actual number of this group of widows is only 400 people, and this answer really makes Zhao Xingdou and them unbelievable.

Shuri Wangcheng is not an ordinary place, for more than a year, Zhao Xingdou and they patrol the five islands of Amami, and when they are fine, they often go to the royal city to solve their physiological needs, and they also have some understanding of the prosperity and defense facilities of Shuri, so they naturally don't believe that the Japanese people actually occupied the Shuri capital with a team of only 400 people.

Naturally, there were more than 400 Japanese warriors attacking Shuri, and things such as defending the city gates and clearing out the Ryukyuan people who dared to gather people to resist in the city also needed to disperse their troops to carry out the execution, so the Ryukyu Imperial Forest Army guards did not say wrong about the number of Japanese at the time of the attack on the palace.

"I really underestimated the courage of these widows, and they can still play such a beautiful show!" Although intellectually did not believe the news that surfaced, Zhao Xingdou still looked at the Japanese camp outside the Amami Walled City with admiration, and paid some respect to the wisdom of the commander in it.

Even if Zhao Xingdou and these old people were full of confidence in Hongtang, but if they really sent hundreds, no, even if it was thousands, they didn't dare to say that they could take Shuri, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, like the Japanese people.

Not to mention that people not only dare to think so, but also do so, in front of Hongtang people, not only played the drama of dark Chen Cang, but I am afraid that they also played an empty city plan!

The Japanese Satsuma are noble princes, but how many people they actually have, and how much army they belong to should be, these things are not something that Satsuma can hide if they want to.

As long as you have the heart, from the mouth of the maritime merchants who travel between the three states of Satsuma, you can roughly estimate a reasonable approximate data, although it may not be accurate, but it also has a strong reference value.

Moreover, the Japanese daimyo were not in harmony with each other, and there were many people around the Shimazu family who were eyeing them and wanted to find an opportunity to make some money from Samoto at any time.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Samosa to ignore their own sphere of influence for the sake of an enclave, so that others can find a good opportunity.

So this time, the pirates who came to attack the five islands of Amami and the pirates who were recruited have already surprised Zhao Xingdou and Wu Daofu, so where can they still have extra manpower to attack the royal capital of Shuri on the main island of Ryukyu!

It is likely that the actual number of the Japanese army that came ashore was not very large, and some of them were sent to carry out the mission of attacking the royal castle of Shuri.

It's no wonder that in the past few days, except for the first day of attack, the Japanese people have been very quiet in the next two days. Although this is more because the Hongtang fleet defeated the pirate fleet, for a while, the Japanese people have no way to let the pirate fleet that has just experienced a crushing defeat go to sea again to entangle the Hongtang fleet, but the Japanese people want to hide the actual entry and exit of their own forces, and I am afraid that it is also an important factor in the stalemate between them in the past two days.

Before Zhao Xingdou and the others could figure out how to make a decision, only half a day after the arrival of King Shangning's ships, a fleet of five sea ships, also coming from the far south, bypassed the blockade of the Hongtang fleet, and after paying a lot of price, they joined the fleet that the Japanese had come out to meet and boarded the Japanese camp.

Although I don't know what the idea of this team is, for those who have seen King Shangning in advance and been informed of the important news, this sudden team of Japanese people may have come with some important purpose.

In the Japanese camp, since receiving the five ships that suddenly arrived, there was no other movement, but from time to time there was a shout from it, listening to this tone, it seemed that they were still in a state of excitement and excitement, but what was the specific content of it, but it was not Zhao Xingdou who did not know.
