56 Enemy fire
Prince Shang also has no place to speak, and everyone was still facing Wu Daofu with the same hatred before, but in the blink of an eye, their team fell apart.
As a prince, a prince with a high probability of inheriting the throne, because of this edict, Prince Shang Zhiwu could only choose to stand on Wu Daofu's side at the moment, but he ignored the euphemistic eyes of many officials and eunuchs who wanted to continue to be euphemistic with the Japanese people.
The military attaches of the Ryukyus were also influenced by Chinese culture, and there were very few military attaches who were more focused on the family side and were truly willing to carry out the will of King Shangning.
However, now without the support of Prince Shang, and there is no leader among these military attachés, in the end, they can only go down unhappily and go their own way, but in private, what they think and do is not something that outsiders can know.
However, the Japanese did not give much time to think about the Amami Walled City, and only one night passed, and although the people in the Amami Walled City were in a trance, they did not give up resistance as they expected.
Shimazu Hisao, who knew that there was a little problem with his plan again, no longer hesitated to be silent, and began to mobilize the Japanese and the people early the next morning, vowing to take the Amami Walled City today.
The performance of the pirates yesterday was seen by Shimazu Hisao, but he didn't blame them too much, on the contrary, he went against the norm, took out a large sum of real money, sprinkled it in front of the pirates, and told them with a money offensive that if they fought hard today, they couldn't harass them and attack Amami Walled City, and everyone would be rewarded!
Yuan Laoba has not shown up in the past few days, only his two right-hand men Lao Yi and Li Jin came forward to direct their gang, plus Yuan Laoba's team took the lead in escaping and leaving behind the pirates of the Seven Seas, which made everyone feel resentful, so the pirates are more or less willing to obey the leadership of Lao Yi and Li Jin as before.
However, under the money offensive of Shimazu Hisao, and then named Lao Yi as the commander of the fleet, although the pirates were reluctant in their hearts, but for the sake of money and the face of the suzerain, they still endured it, at least on the surface, unanimously agreed with Lao Yi's leadership.
More than 20 warships of the pirate fleet went out to sea and headed towards the Hongtang fleet that was at ease in the distance, but judging from the speed of this slow turtle, just sailing to the vicinity of the Hongtang fleet, I am afraid that it would take half an hour to work!
Fortunately, Hongtang was also very cooperative, and when they saw that there was a big move in the Japanese camp, they couldn't be idle, so they immediately hoisted their sails and drove towards Amami Harbor, just to help the pirate fleet shorten the distance between them.
In the end, the pirate fleet still didn't pay too much attention to the safety distance like yesterday, and this time, although the other party was getting closer and closer, the pirate fleet did not flinch, but began to busily prepare weapons and confront the Hongtang fleet.
What if there is no powerful artillery fire, as long as the scattered pirate fleet does not let Hongtang's dense artillery fire shell more than five times at the same time on a single battleship, their warship will not have too much performance degradation, affecting the next battle.
The pirate fleet, which once again inspired its courage and became slippery, not only learned the lesson of the defeat last time and no longer forced a battle with Hongtang, but they also used local materials, although there was no artillery fire, but if they wanted to hold you back, many simple things can make you miserable, such as fishing nets that were originally used for fishing.
When two or three pirate warships threw huge fishing nets into the sea in succession, and then sailed around the warships of the Hongtang fleet, and when the Hongtang warships suddenly found that their warships were inconvenient to move and the rudder could not rotate, the fishing nets deep into the sea water had already surrounded these Hongtang warships like big fish.
By the time Hongtang sent the water ghosts down to clean up the fishing nets and reorganize the team, more than an hour had passed, and there was a pirate fleet next to it that had not stopped, and it seemed that it would be a little difficult for the Hongtang fleet to participate in today's battle.
After two days of rest and the previous siege battle, the recruits of the Ryukyu Kingdom finally had a clear and correct understanding of the cruelty of the battlefield.
As I said at the beginning, the influence of the Ryukyu people was very good in terms of obedience, and there was already a little experience and lessons, so the early stage of this battle was still very good, at least there were few people hiding in the corner and shivering and did not dare to stand up and resist.
The attack of the Japanese people was very fierce, and the opportunity they seized was also very good, most of the Ryukyu military attachés were still in a trance and undecided, and although the soldiers at the bottom had less influence, but under the rumors, the Ryukyu warriors always looked back from time to time when they were fighting, to see if these commanders behind them had any other actions.
Originally, this combat effectiveness was insufficient, coupled with the unevenness of the people's hearts, although the performance was better than when the Japanese first attacked the city, but the Japanese people's offensive this time was a little more fierce than the last time.
The five Japanese warships brought back not only a few important figures of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but also most of the elite Japanese who attacked the Shuri Imperial Castle.
Although the Shuri Imperial Castle was good, Shimazu Hisao knew from the beginning that it would be completely impossible to completely occupy the Shuri Imperial Castle with that single army, so after achieving the goal of looting, the Japanese people left a small team to guard the royal castle under the banner, and the rest of the people returned to the main team of the Amami Japanese people with the Ryukyu hostages.
The three waves of fierce offensives in a row made it more and more difficult for Wu Daofu and them to deal with each other, and the military attachés did not work together, so that Wu Daofu and the people of the water division were exhausted and filled the leaks everywhere on the city wall!
Prince Shang couldn't count on it, and when the swords, guns and artillery rang out, he couldn't find anyone, and even a few military attachés who had a good relationship with him were gone.
"General, I think it's time to send out elite warriors!" Outside the Japanese camp, the Japanese commander Shimazu Hisao was also holding a monocular, observing the battle on the castle, and beside him, the chief Japanese samurai who commanded the Japanese samurai to capture Shuri Wangcheng was standing solemnly beside him, asking for his life.
"Before the fact, you must be patient and patient!" Shimazu Hisao stopped the samurai chief's impulse, and still calmly watched the battle in the castle.
