Chapter 710 Royal City

"Hand grenade!" "Boom!"

Along the Nakajima Wharf, Japan built thirty-six artillery batteries here.

After annihilating the Japanese army, only a small number of Japanese soldiers guarding the artillery batteries remained.

As the Japanese soldiers hid in the artillery batteries, they used the sandbags around the artillery batteries as a cover to resist their shooting.

Pan Chang immediately ordered the skirmishers to seize these artillery batteries.

Taking the hand grenade from the waist, the skirmishers moved towards the artillery batteries in groups of three.

Two soldiers shot to cover, and the third soldier threw the hand grenade into the artillery batteries.

With a roar, the Japanese soldiers in the artillery batteries were dead.

In the time of an incense stick, the entire wharf was taken down by the Marines.

At this time, Pan Chang ordered the flag signal to the sea.

After a while, the warships that stayed opposite the wharf came slowly and docked at the wharf.

The soldiers on the troop transport ship landed one after another.

Zhou Yi and Shang Bin also got off the flagship.

"Yes, it didn't delay our dinner time." Zhou Yi took out his pocket watch and said to Pan Chang with a smile.

Shang Bin complimented: "General is really amazing. He defeated the Japanese army on the island so quickly. There are more than 12,000 Japanese soldiers on the middle island."

After a pause, he said: "And these Japanese soldiers are very cruel and fierce. They don't care about their lives when fighting."

"That's true, but this is what we are like." Pan Chang raised his little finger.

"Oh, hahaha..." Shang Bin laughed. The more powerful the soldiers of King Yan are, the better.

In this way, if Ryukyu is taken back this time, Japan will never take it back again.

His throne is also guaranteed.

"There is still an hour before dark. Should we stay here for one night or go to the Ryukyu King City for dinner? What do you think?" Zhou Yi looked at the generals.

The Japanese army on the island was annihilated, and the rest of the things were very simple, and his mood naturally became relaxed.

Shang Bin was a little impatient to return to the royal city. He said, "Middle Island is 200 miles long from south to north, but from east to west, the widest part is only 50 miles, and it is only 20 miles from the dock to the royal city. The Ryukyu people make a living by fishing and growing rice. The most delicious seafood can be eaten in the royal city."

Pan Chang's eyes lit up immediately, "What are you waiting for? Just now, a Ryukyu army was beaten to a pulp by me. I guess they are scared. Maybe if I scare them, I can capture the royal city."

"General Pan, how many people are there in this army?" Shang Bin asked.

"More than 3,000." Pan Chang said casually.

Nodding, Shang Bin said to Zhou Yi, "General Zhou, after the Japanese occupied Ryukyu, they did not allow the Ryukyu Kingdom to maintain too many troops. There were only 4,000 Ryukyu soldiers on Middle Island. General Pan defeated 3,000 people. Now the Ryukyu Royal City must be like a frightened bird."

Zhou Yi looked to the east, where the Ryukyu Royal City was.

He naturally preferred to stay in the royal city rather than at the dock.

So he said: "The whole army advances to the Ryukyu Royal City."

This time, he brought a total of 6,000 Marines.

Under his order, the Marines carried all the field artillery and moved eastward.

From the dock, there is a wide dirt road extending eastward.

On both sides of the road, there are lakes and woods besides rice fields.

An hour later, they saw a city standing on the plain.

The walls of this city are not made of blue bricks, but of rubble taken from the mountains.

At this moment, the walls are full of alert Ryukyu soldiers.

Zhou Yi was about to order an attack, and Shang Bin suddenly grabbed his hand, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said: "General, let me try."

After that, he led the Ryukyu minister who followed him forward.

Looking at the Ryukyu soldiers on the wall, Shang Bin shouted: "I am Shang Bin, the son of King Shang Mu of Ryukyu. I have been granted by the court of Dasong to lead 6,000 soldiers to recover the throne. If you put down your swords, I will forgive you. If you insist on doing wrong, I will kill you all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ryukyu soldiers on the wall began to whisper.

A Ryukyu soldier ran down and led an old man to climb up the wall.

The old man looked at Shang Bin, looked at him carefully, and suddenly became excited, "Your Highness, yes, he is His Highness, His Highness is back."

But at this moment, a general suddenly rushed up the wall, drew his sword, and killed the old man and the soldier who helped him up.

Seeing this, Shang Bin was furious. He said to Zhou Yi: "General, if this running dog of the Japanese is not killed, Ryukyu will never have peace."

Zhou Yi understood what Shang Bin meant, and he waved his hand.

"Boom boom boom..." Forty-eight field guns roared at the same time.

In an instant, the tower on the Ryukyu King's City was smashed to pieces.

The Ryukyu general who killed the old man and the soldiers died without a complete body.

"Kill!"

At this time, the Marines rushed to the wall of the royal city.

They threw grenades up from under the wall, and the wall suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

After a round of artillery fire and a round of grenades, there was no movement on the wall.

The Marines took the opportunity to climb up the wall.

Looking down at the city, they did not see other Ryukyu soldiers.

Then, they opened the city gate.

The Marines swarmed in, and under the leadership of Shang Bin, they went straight to the palace of the Ryukyu King.

Along the way, the Ryukyu people hid in the shops and houses along the street, peeping at them through the gaps in the doors and windows.

An hour later, the Marines arrived at the palace.

They easily dealt with the thousands of Ryukyu soldiers guarding the palace and rushed into the palace.

At this moment, in the Ryukyu Palace, the maids and eunuchs fled in panic.

Shang Bin led the Marines directly to the palace bedroom.

In the bedroom, a fat middle-aged man was found. He was the Ryukyu King supported by Japan, Shang Bin's seventh half brother.

After controlling the palace, Zhou Yi ordered the Marines to take over the royal city and control all the important roads.

At the same time, all the Ryukyu ministers were gathered in the palace.

Some of the old ministers immediately fell in front of Shang Bin and cried loudly when they saw him.

Shang Bin looked at them expressionlessly. These ministers were just fence-sitters.

The ministers who were truly loyal to him all fled to Dasong with him.

"Your Highness, we should cut the Gordian knot quickly. According to your orders, I will help you re-select officials and train the Ryukyu army." Zhou Yi spoke at this time.

He was too lazy to care about the grievances and hatreds in Ryukyu.

Moreover, it has been thirty years, and most of the Ryukyu people who remember Shang Bin are already old.

The young and strong people in Ryukyu probably don't have much memory of Shang Bin.

In this case, they can only wipe out the former officials and generals of Ryukyu and re-establish a new system to avoid leaving any poison.

And they personally created this system, which can also guarantee Ryukyu's loyalty to Dasong in the future.

After all, this was originally a deal between Shang Bin and their Prince Yan.

It also prepares for the future annexation of Ryukyu into Dasong.
