61 Target Conversion
The entanglement in the street battles lasted longer than the offensive and defensive battles, and the Japanese samurai were not able to completely wipe out the Ryukyu warriors after dark, and they were not even able to expel the Amami Castle.
It was not because the Japanese people withered all at once, but when the Japanese samurai fought against the Ryukyu warriors again, they killed innocents indiscriminately, which aroused the feelings of the Ryukyu warriors who shared the hatred of the enemy.
There are not only natives in the city, but many Ryukyu warriors will always pick up their relatives to gather on Amami Island because the main island is not far from Amami Island, and some people even buy real estate and other things for their relatives on Amami Island.
However, the Japanese people were indiscriminate, but whenever they saw the crowd of people in action, they rushed up to kill them, and many innocent people were killed. From the point of view of the Japanese people, this is wartime, and who knows if these crowds of people running around on the road will suddenly pull out the swords hidden on their bodies and attack them when they approach their team?
After being stimulated by the Japanese people, many Ryukyu warriors had a sense of hatred in their eyes, and with this hatred and hostility, when facing the Japanese samurai, the Ryukyu warriors were able to perform extraordinarily, and they held on for an afternoon, and firmly controlled half of the territory in the Amami Walled City.
At night, after a day's attack, both sides were tired, and they stopped fighting for the time being, and I don't know when, the warriors of Hongtang outside the city also built a defense line outside the city and confronted the Japanese general Shimazu Hisao.
At this time, Hongtang landed a department, and it was impossible to advance or retreat, and the Hongtang fleet on the sea, because of the lack of personnel, could no longer occupy an advantage in the confrontation with the pirate fleet, and could only rely on the performance of the warship to entangle with the other party. Even so, having lost too many people to control the sea ships, the Hongtang fleet was more often exhausted, unable to even fight back at the slightest.
Therefore, where did the Hongtang fleet dare to send warships to meet the Hongtang team members who landed on the island, they could only ask for more blessings for themselves.
In terms of attack, the Japanese have an advantage in numbers, and now the defeat in the city is gradually becoming apparent, for the Japanese they have taken the initiative, whether to advance or retreat is just a sentence from Shimazu Hisao.
Zhao Xingdou is now very worried that the Japanese people will suddenly withdraw half of the troops in the city and turn their heads to concentrate on dealing with their Hongtang troops, so that their Hongtang landing soldiers will be in danger.
At that time, Zhao Xingdou was also anxious for a while, seeing that the Amami Walled City was at a critical juncture, and he was not angry that he had paid too much effort for losing his territory, and there was King Shangning in the fleet pleading bitterly, so he finally issued this order that now seems a little stupid.
To tell the truth, they Hongtang has sacrificed enough warriors for the Ryukyu Kingdom, and at this time, if the Japanese reoccupy the territory back, it is natural that Hongtang will be unwilling, but this does not mean that Hongtang must defend this island for the Ryukyu Kingdom at any cost.
After all, it is not their own territory, and everyone did not understand why Li Tianyang would order him to help the Ryukyu Kingdom and open up an enclave in the far east, and for this he also offended a powerful opponent, the princes of a powerful faction, and they didn't know if it was worth it.
Now that he is on the rise, Zhao Xingdou is very worried about whether the 1,000 Hongtang soldiers who landed and fought will become the meat buns that beat dogs again, and there will be no return!
If it was still the same as before, all the members of the Hongtang fleet had been staying at sea, and if they really wanted to see that the situation was wrong, the most they could do would be to send a team to pick up Wu Daofu and them back, instead of taking most of them on as they are now, but the whole army would be in danger of falling.
As the saying goes, you can come to whatever comes to mind!
I thought that the Japanese should take advantage of the darkness of the night to rest and recuperate, and then take the Amami Walled City in one go, but who would have thought that the Japanese people's resentment towards Hongtang had reached the point of hatred, and the sky was just a few traces of fish belly white, and there were many hurried footsteps on the Japanese position, the sound of swords and soldiers colliding with each other, and so on.
As soon as he heard the sound, Xu Yingfei, the commander of the 1st Whale Battalion and the supreme commander of the landing operation, who had gone ashore to support the Ryukyu soldiers, vigilantly issued an order for all people to be on alert.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the order was delivered to the ears of the soldiers, the overwhelming Japanese offensive came towards Hongtang's position, and at the first moment of engagement, Hongtang's players almost failed to stabilize the formation.
Thanks to the timely release of the grenade by the Hongtang team members in the rear, they helped the Hongtang team members in the front row to stabilize their positions, and when Xu Yingfei and the others opened their eyes and looked around, what came into view was far from the Japanese team in their early 1,000s who fought with them yesterday, but a large group of Japanese warriors who attacked from the left and right directions at the same time.
It's just that Coarse Cloth estimates that there are no less than 2,000 Japanese warriors besieging their Hongtang team at this moment, more than double that of yesterday.
I don't know when, the Japanese quietly transferred the team in the city back, I'm afraid that Wu Daofu and others in the city didn't even know that the Japanese had more than half of the samurai in the city.
Even if Wu Daofu and the others knew, they might not be able to do anything, the reason why the Ryukyu soldiers were able to persevere to the end yesterday afternoon, in the end, the motivation came from the villagers and families around them, but if they were allowed to organize a counterattack against the Japanese people in the city at this moment, it would be a little too much.
"Hold on!" Xu Yingfei was fighting on the front line, while encouraging the Hongtang team members around him.
They are all veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and at first they were taken by surprise by the Japanese people taking advantage of the sky, and after everyone stabilized their positions, although they faced more than twice as many Japanese warriors, although they couldn't fight back and forth like yesterday, but resisting the other party's attack, it was no problem!
Wu Daofu and the others quickly reacted, when the battle outside the city was in full swing, the city fell into a strange silence, Wu Daofu was not the first brother of the battlefield, so he naturally quickly understood that the Japanese people had changed the target of attack.
Just as Zhao Xingdou expected, Wu Daofu and the others had the intention to help Hong Tang share some of the pressure, but he organized it for a long time, but the Ryukyu soldiers in his hands were tired of dealing with it one by one, and they didn't look like they wanted to attack at all.
In the end, looking at the last of the two hundred sailor soldiers in his hands, Wu Daofu looked at the Ryukyu military attachés scattered in all corners of the walled city, as well as the Ryukyu military attachés around him who were obedient on the surface but actually shirked, and after sighing gloomily, Wu Daofu could only give up!
