Chapter 118: The Sorrow of King Shang Yuan

Amami Bay, on the hills marked as 101 Highlands.

Ximen Qing, who has been promoted to the captain of the reconnaissance squadron, and several Marines were lying motionless in the dense grass. They were wearing coats with yellow-green cloth and hemp ropes, and even their heads were wearing the same hats. They were surrounded by leaves and green grass. This was the camouflage technique learned in the land combat class of the Coast Guard School. It can effectively divide the outline of the human body, simulate natural plants, and integrate them into the background dominated by weeds and shrubs.

The investigation team he led was specifically to monitor the Ryukyu military camp at the foot of the mountain. There were more than a dozen other investigation teams scattered around the high ground to ensure that once a Ryukyu soldiers went up the mountain to be alert, they could be discovered as soon as possible.

He planned that if the number of Ryukyu soldiers coming was small, they would use a short crossbow to deal with it silently. If the number of people was too large, they would remind the large army to try not to be exposed as much as possible... Ximen Qing looked at the terrain according to Caodian, allocated troops, and formulated a plan.

But who knew that after all this time, even a single Ryukyu soldier had not gone up the mountain!

The threat to the Marines lurking in the highlands actually came from mosquitoes and poisonous snakes on the mountain...

‘What’s wrong with this?’ Ximen Qing slapped the mosquito on his neck to death and cursed secretly. Even pirates knew to send someone to keep a watch! Why are these Ryukyu people so arrogant? All his plans were wrong.

Little did he know that King Shangyuan had killed the thief chiefs on the island and conquered the young and middle-aged people into the royal palace army. The remaining old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children could not pose any threat. King Shangyuan, who loved soldiers as much as his son, naturally did not force the soldiers and ran to the hills four or five miles away to stand guard.

The boat was about to go home. What if I landed on the island and was eaten by the natives? So the Ryukyu soldiers were consciously patrolling near the camp.

Work must be done in front of the leader!

But who would have thought that there would be enemies on the other side of the mountain?

~~

"Captain, why haven't they set out yet..." The scouts beside him were also impatient. "The legs are numb."

"I guess they are like Director Liu, they are chatterboxes." Ximen Qing said in a silence and said to him the police supervisor who was working on his team, and then continued to hold up his telescope to monitor him. Suddenly he shouted in a low voice: "I'm finished speaking, I'm starting to board the ship! Hurry up, send a signal!"

The scout quickly retreated quietly to the hillside, took out a small mirror, and reflected the dazzling sunlight in the Pacific Ocean to the warship waiting silently in the fjord.

There were lookouts on each warship staring at the high ground. When they saw the signal, they immediately began to pull out the anchor and unzip the cables and prepare to set off.

When the scouts sent out the second signal, it means that the Ryukyu army had already boarded the ship, the fleet drew its anchor and set sail, and was ready to set sail.

"Rise the sail!" With the order of Haier, the police officers on the 102 ship were the first to turn the noose and slowly raise the sails on each side.

Ship 102 is a Western-style warship built completely imitated by the Oriental Beauty. Soon, more than a dozen sails swelled in the wind, pushing the warship slowly towards the entrance of the bay.

Seeing this, the other warships also raised their sails and followed Ship 102 with the wind!

The geography course of the Coast Guard School told them that Ryukyu is controlled by the Pacific subtropical high pressure and the southeast monsoon prevails in summer! So Wang Rulong arranged the front line blocking cluster in Jinjiuhara in order to occupy the upper air outlet so that the fleet can start quickly and get in place quickly!

The first land brigade, ambushing on the north slope of the 101 Highland, also began to go down the mountain from the south side of the high and low, and marched towards the natural harbor on the other side of Amami Bay.

The scorching sun in the Pacific Ocean was unblocked, and Dala shot towards the earth.

On such a hot day, each of the Marines carried nearly 30 kilograms of guns, ammunition, rockets, kettles, dry food bags and other equipment, but they still could gallop like flying. It all depends on the strict training on weekdays, especially at the coast guard school, which was built by a five-kilometer armed off-road in a day.

"Hurry, keep up!" Wu Da, the captain of the Marine Corps, also marched with his subordinates. He shook his long legs and led the way with a relaxed head. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, it is not easy for our Marine Corps to show off. No one is allowed to drag me back! Speed ​​up and occupy the position!"

"Yes!" The Marine responded in a hurry and accelerated the speed again.

~~

On the sea, the Ryukyu fleet was using sails together, guarding King Shangyuan to sail towards the entrance of the bay.

The strong currents and monsoons come with strong support, and the return journey becomes a huge resistance, so the ships in Ryukyu are equipped with eight to twelve oars and oars to ensure that they can sail back to Naha.

The ship of the King of Ryukyu, the "Three Mountains Unified" ship, is equipped with twenty oars and oars. Each giant oar is rowed by four oars and two oars. This is not enough to drive such a large battleship.

King Shang Yuan was wearing military uniform and covered with a Luo umbrella, standing on the deck of the Sanshan unified ship, feeling that the whole world was at his feet.

"Apart from the sealed boats of the Heavenly Dynasty, there is no ship that is bigger than the unified ship of the Three Mountains, right?" He said proudly to the left and right.

Ma Deshun and others hurriedly flattered and said, "Of course, my king is the king of the East China Sea!"

"The small boats of North Korea and Japan are not enough to carry shoes to the king..."

"After all, my Zhongshan Kingdom is the favorite of the Celestial Empire!"

Everyone was flattering, and suddenly saw the king's color change, and his eyes were straight ahead, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Why..." Ma Deshun and others quickly turned their heads and saw a huge sailboat at the mouth of Amami Bay ahead, at least twice as big as the Sanshan Uni-President Ship!

Immediately afterwards, the second and third ships were two warships of the same size!

It’s not over yet! Behind the three giants, there are two teams of two thousand-profit ships that are half bigger than the Sanshan unified ship!

Four, five, six...eight, nine, ten...nineteen, twenty...

The King of Ryukyu and his princes silently counted the giant ships of the siege. Before they could count them, the Commander of the Ryukyu Navy Xie Liting brought them back to reality from their shock.

"Please enter the cabin quickly, we are about to prepare for the battle!"

The princes looked at the king one after another, but saw that Shang Yuan was still motionless. They couldn't help but secretly admired that the king was really calm in the face of danger.

After a while, he felt relieved and said, "It turned out to be thirty-three ships..."

Everyone almost fell to the ground, good guy, still counting...

"What did you say just now?" Shang Yuan came to his senses and asked Xie Liting.

"The last general has ordered the fleet to stop advancing and be prepared to face the enemy. Whether to advance or return it to the king!" Xie Liting had no choice but to say it again.

"Oh." Shang Yuan thought for a while and said, "First contact and ask what they meant?"

"Yes." Xie Liting immediately ordered people to put down the boat and greet them with a white flag.

~~

At the entrance of the bay, the blocking cluster is slowly forming.

To be honest, Haierdi is most worried that when the Ryukyu warships find themselves, they will accelerate out as soon as they discover themselves - they are sailboats and have the ability to accelerate instantly.

Although it is still a delivery of vegetables, the cluster has not yet built a tight fence, and there will inevitably be a large number of fish that have escaped. If they escape from ten or eight ships, would they be beaten into a police officer?

Fortunately, it was probably because the king was on the ship, and the opponent stopped immediately, which allowed the cluster to calmly complete the double battle line formation, and while setting up the fence, it could also exert its maximum firepower.

After the battle line was basically completed, a small boat with a white flag drove out opposite him. On the ship, a man wearing a yellow square hat and a green robe claimed to be the messenger of the King of Ryukyu.

Haierdi asked someone to take him on a boat.

When the other party came to him tremblingly, he first introduced himself to the third rank of Xuanxun, the official of Zhongshan Kingdom, and Mei Shimang, the official of the Eye and Ear of the Eye of the Envoy, came to ask about your origins and what is the key to stop us?

Although it was for invasion, the style of a dignified army in the coast guard fleet could not be lost. Haier brother told him in a deep voice:

"I am the commander of the squadron of the Task Force of the Southern Task Force of the Royal Danluo Guard Area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. I was ordered to intercept Er and others here and initiate a criminal offense! In order to avoid meaningless damage, I ordered you and others to surrender immediately and do not delay, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Mei Shimang saw that these uninvited guests with strict appearance and well-equipped appearances were very scared, and they were dressed in blue outfits that were very different from those of the Ming army. He was shocked, but he felt relieved when he heard this and hurriedly said, "It turns out that they are subordinates of my emperor in the Heavenly Dynasty. This really caused a flood to rush to the Dragon King Temple. Did you make a mistake?"

"Nothing is wrong," Haierdi said with a stern face: "We informed you two and a half months ago in a formal document. We must conscientiously implement our four requirements and make an explanation for the 'Naba Port Massacre', otherwise we will regard your country as a conspirator of the bandits and take strict actions!"

"The final deadline we gave was the end of May, and now it is mid-July, and you are still indifferent." Haier said sternly: "Our side naturally came as promised and seek justice for the dead brothers!"

"This, there is a huge misunderstanding here..." Mei Shimang is the official of Ryukyu's ears and ears, and naturally he is smart and clever. He quickly explained: "I have seen it. My king has been out of the battle and is only going to go to the army today. I also want to go to the army and go back to the court. Please let go of your way. When my king returns to Shuri, I will investigate the case immediately and give an explanation to the Shangmai of the Tianchao and Jiangnan Group!"

"It's too late. Our ultimatum has passed, and we cannot speak without trust." Haierdi said in a deep voice: "I order you to surrender immediately before the time comes, otherwise we will launch an attack!"

"You can't do this. My king is the vassal king of the Heavenly Dynasty. That's like Tiansun. How can he use his weapons against my king?!" Mei Shimang protested.

"If you really treat yourself as a vassal king of the Celestial Dynasty, you won't ignore our ultimatum so much." Haierdi snorted coldly, reminding him with kindness: "I am just acting on orders and have no power to make a decision. I advise you not to waste time here, but to hurry back and inform your king."

As he said that, he pointed to the sun in the sky.

"This, alas..." Mei Shimang had no choice but to go helplessly.

After he returned to the unified ship of the Three Mountains and reported the situation to King Shangyuan, Ma Deshun and others hurriedly advised: "Now, please ask the king to withdraw to the island and leave the water army to confront them. After a long time, the other party would go by themselves."

King Shang Yuan thought about it, it was too dangerous at sea. The other party’s boat was full of dense muzzles. If he accidentally injured himself, he would be a bad dish.

He was about to make a few more false words, saying that he wanted to live and die with the soldiers and other things to protect him.

But when the navy commander Xie Liting exclaimed again, "King, look at the shore!"

When Shangyuan Wang Xunsheng looked at him, he saw an army in green clothes appearing at the harbor where they set out. His intention was obvious...

The four words "Tortoise in the jar" suddenly appeared in King Shang Yuan's mind, making him feel panic and mixed with inexplicable sorrow and shame.
