Win the Ding 1617

"Attack!"

"My lords! For the white rice of our descendants, we must fight the enemy bravely today!"

"Kyushu's army is number one in the world! Kumamoto's army is number one in Kyushu! Today's military exploits must belong to our Kumamoto battalion!"

"Those who want the fields, and those who are not afraid of fat meat, come with me!"

Following the attack order issued by Wu Liuqi's army, there was a burst of clamor in the Japanese mercenary camp.Nagoya accent, Kumamoto accent, Hiroshima accent, Osaka accent, almost from Kyushu to Kanto, Kansai, accents from all over Japan are gathered here, intertwined in one place, making the sun dim in the sky.

No way, the temptation of interest is huge!Japan, which has many mountains and few fields, has always been troubled by the contradiction between population and arable land resources.Otherwise, after the Western colonists opened the country with the same strong ships and cannons, the Perries would not shake their heads and walk away with a sad face.It's not that these western gentlemen in tuxedos occasionally realize that it's because they can't find anything to plunder in Japan!

The lack of resources and the crowded living space have made the Japanese nation have an almost pathological pursuit of land and resources. From the Battle of Baijiangkou to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea, every time it was to plunder the resources and land of the mainland.

Today, with the strong military support of the Southern Guangdong Army, relying on their own military exploits, they can obtain a piece of fertile land for themselves and their descendants. Thinking about the land area whose harvest was almost comparable to that of the daimyo, these Japanese mercenaries Immediately, the adrenaline was secreted rapidly, their eyes were red, and they were holding the knives and guns in their hands tightly, eager to try one by one.

Most of these mercenaries from the bankrupt samurai and ronin classes also worked hard in their respective daimyos when they came to recruit mercenaries, otherwise.It is simply impossible to join the volunteer army reserve that provides sufficient and reliable soldiers for the recruitment of mercenaries by the Southern Cantonese Army. The only way to join this organization is to serve as cattle and horses for the big names everywhere, maintain law and order, manage the city, and clean the streets.Only then would it be possible to be sent up by the daimyo when the Ming masters from Nanzhong recruited troops.Otherwise, don't even think about it!

In order to be able to join the volunteer army, some people even used their pensions as collateral, and borrowed money from businessmen to bribe officials at all levels.The purpose is to be able to go to that distant overseas, to fight for a future with no worries about food and clothing for myself and my family!When military officers at all levels announced in the camp that those who had done meritorious service could be treated like the soldiers of the Southern Guangdong Army and own their own land on the Java Islands, this sudden sense of happiness made countless people cry.

but.Self-made fame can only be obtained immediately.Great General (this is what Japanese mercenaries called Li Shouhan privately. They believed that since the shogunate generals bowed their heads in front of this Li Guogong, they were bigger generals than generals. What is not a great general?) like this Deep kindness, if we don't show it well, how can we be worthy of ourselves and future generations.Are you worthy of the general and the county horse?

A trumpet sounded, and a group of Japanese mercenaries rushed out of the formation with their swords and guns.Behind them is a group of gunfire soldiers from the Southern Guangdong Army.

A team of mercenaries is equipped with a first-class firearms soldier. There are hundreds of teams in this standard configuration.

There are four mercenaries in a team of about 50 people, and a team of firecrackers with 12 people, and a team of nearly six to 70 people.Three or four hundred teams opened up an extremely wide front along the blockade line, and marched in the direction of Yusup Sultan's jurisdiction in a horizontal line, waving flags and shouting.Passing mountains and crossing mountains, crossing waters when encountering waters, seeing forests passing through forests.During the march, they kept waving flags, shouting, blowing whistles, and knocking on clappers.Create a great momentum out.

Behind this wave of offensive, there is an elite reserve team of nearly [-] people led by Wu Liuqi himself. As long as Yu Supu's main force appears somewhere in the front, and the forward fights with it, the brigade behind will swoop in. It is necessary to wipe out Yusupu's main force in one fell swoop. At least, his main force must be severely injured, so that he has no strength to confront the Southern Guangdong Army head-on.

The two attacks are like a huge comb. The hundreds of forwards in the front are sharp and sharp comb teeth, and the powerful reserve team in the back is a powerful comb wall.The small band of rebels hiding in the depths of the dense forest and behind the rocks were forced out one by one like combing hair.

Originally hiding behind the favorable terrain, the Yusupu rebels, who were planning to use the terrain and trees and bamboo forests to attack the Nanyue army, had already been overwhelmed by the momentum of the Nanyue army's attack. As the attacking formation got closer, someone yelled, jumped out of their hiding place, turned around and ran away!

It doesn't matter if a person runs away, the key is that this person is like lighting a firecracker, and hundreds of firecrackers explode immediately.People swarmed out from their hiding places and fled towards Yusupu's royal city.Just abandon the position and expose your back to the Southern Guangdong Army.

"Secretary Mai! Sergeant Mai!" The Kyushu accent, known as Kumamoto's number one soldier in the world, yelled loudly in a high-pitched and split tone, urging his subordinates to charge.

"Military merit is ahead, white rice is ahead! Kill!"

Hundreds of people shouted in unison, and rushed straight into the ranks of defeated soldiers with their swords and guns.

One by one bad news was delivered from the front line to the royal city quickly, and then the people who came to report the news plunged into the city and said nothing to go out!

For Yu Supu, the battle ahead can be described as collapsing at the touch of a touch and extremely corrupt.Originally, his force was much larger than the 4 to [-] commanded by Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi. He originally planned to concentrate his forces and take advantage of the favorable terrain of the forest and trees, and set up an ambush to give Wu Liuqi a ruthless attack.However, Wu Liuqi didn't expect Wu Liuqi to do the opposite and divide the troops.There is no main direction of attack, but there are small knives everywhere to let blood and cut human flesh.If you don't divide your forces equally and fortify everywhere, he will take advantage of the loopholes.But you, the rebel soldiers under Yu Supu, can bully the common people and plunder the heretics a little bit. How can they compete with these veteran soldiers and professional warriors?

Crowds against hundreds of elite soldiers, the quality gap between the two sides is immediately revealed!

Groups of Yusupu rebel soldiers, some of whom simply fled without daring to escape, under the leadership of the leader, held a white flag, and ordered the military servants to pick up pickers full of weapons and guns, and come out from the hiding place.Looking for a spacious place, he shouted loudly, "We are all good people, who were coerced by Yusupu! We surrender to the army!"

There are also some who rely on force and tyranny, hiding in the bushes, their teeth creaking. "Damn Kafir, damn heathen!"

Seeing that the Japanese mercenaries were getting closer and closer to the woods and bushes where they were hiding, the leader of the rebels waved his hand suddenly, and the archers who had already twisted their bowstrings tightly, shot at the mercenaries in front of them. Shot.

It's a pity that although the arrows have been processed in various plant juices that can seal the throat, the bow strength is insufficient, and the distance is slightly longer.Sparse arrows shot out.Occasionally, a few of them landed in the attacking formation, but they could only shake their arrow feathers vigorously on the bamboo armor made of thin bamboo strips boiled in oil, trying hard to get in through the gap.There are also a few Japanese mercenaries. I don’t know if Amaterasu opened his eyes and shot arrows processed with blood-sealed throats at their parts that were not protected by armor, such as their faces, arms, and calves.Immediately, there was a burst of black air on the face and near the area where the arrow was hit, and it was hard to see it!

"Carry it down! Register your name and issue pensions!" The chief of the firecrackers, who was standing behind the formation, roared in a low voice without looking back or looking, "Get out of the way, let's have a blast! You take cover on both wings! After the gunfire rang, you rushed up, beheaded, and received military merits!"

More than a dozen firearms lined up in a row.Half squatting facing the dense forest not far away where the arrows were thrown out just now, holding firecrackers, following the command to fire from the armor, more than a dozen firecrackers pulled the triggers in unison, and the faucet fell, igniting the fire in the medicine pool. the primer.The huge impetus formed by the instantaneously expanding gas pushes the projectile out of the barrel.As bursts of white smoke rose, the grove on the opposite side was beaten with branches and leaves flying, and screams continued.

"Rush up! Cut off the head!" The chief armor put away the gun, calmly cleaned the barrel with a cleaning rod, and watched the mercenaries on both sides howling and rushing towards the bush.

Dozens of people rushed out from among the bushes, fighting with the mercenaries with swords and guns in their hands.For a moment, the Kumamoto accent mixed with the Javanese dialect, and two groups of the same short stature fought together.

The sound of knives and guns colliding, the dull sound of sharp blades piercing through armor and entering the body, the painful excrement of people when they are on the verge of death, the strong fishy smell of the sprayed blood after being irradiated by strong sunlight, all these elements are stimulating The secretion of adrenaline in people makes them have a stronger fighting desire to join this killing field.

Seeing that there were rebels appearing here and fighting with the official army, the Kumamoto soldiers on the left and right flanks immediately moved when they heard the news, howling and rushing over for reinforcements.Moreover, more mercenaries shouted and rushed over from a distance.

Under the crazy attack of those mercenaries who were red-eyed and planned to exchange their heads for their own land, this small group of rebels who "performed outstandingly" by massacring civilians during the rebellion on Java Island, In a blink of an eye, it turned into a corpse that fell under the knife and gun.

Dozens of mercenaries bent down one after another, cut off the heads of those rebels with the ribs they carried around their waists, and searched the corpses for any valuable gadgets by the way.Some people picked up the knives and guns soaked in a pool of blood, and prepared to turn them in as trophies or keep them for their own use.

The victory of the first battle immediately made the mercenaries very excited. When the Military and Political Department counted the military merits of each battalion and department one by one, and compiled the number of beheadings, the number of enemies killed, and the number of prisoners one by one, it was announced that the seized properties belonged to the soldiers. All, when all meritorious personnel will be rewarded according to the standards of the Southern Guangdong Army, the morale of the mercenaries has jumped to a new level. If the guys are captured, they will board the ship and set off without hesitation!

"Jun Ma, General, the vanguard sent battle reports. The attack started at 760:27 a.m. In just six hours, our army has killed [-] nine rebels under Sultan Yusupu and captured [-] prisoners. , and more than a thousand people surrendered." Wang Jin, the battalion officer of the Guards Battalion who served as the commander of the reserve team, now assumed the role of Wu Liuqi's chief of staff.

In just six hours, 6000 to [-] people were killed and captured. Such a result is enough to make Zheng Sen proud.His iron wall encirclement tactics have been initially tested.

"Tell the troops, don't be careless, the farther you go, the closer you are to the rebels' lair, beware of the rebels setting up an ambush for our army!" Years of experience made Wu Liuqi dare not be careless.Especially in this situation where the initial battle goes well, and you penetrate tens of miles into the enemy's territory in a blink of an eye. a guy!

"Yes! I will send the cavalry out immediately. Tell Yang Zhen, Zou Rui, Li Qing, Wu Han, Ou Liang, Chen Diangui, Cai Yuan and others what the general said, and tell them to be careful!"

These people are all the key officers since Wu Liuqi raised the army, and they are all old people who have fought in the war.In today's battle, each person supervised the troops, supervising the battle of mercenaries of varying numbers, and the soldiers were divided.Wu Liuqi was also afraid that if he lost his way along the way, the whole army would be shaken.The loss of those mercenaries is just compensation for some food, rice and cloth, but if the mixed brigade headquarters is lost.I'm afraid it will affect the overall situation of peace!

Dozens of cavalry communication teams rode their horses towards the direction where the commanders of several groups of people and horses recognized their flags.

"Uncle Wu, have your capable officials arrived?"

Zheng Sen is also quite self-aware, knowing that this kind of impromptu decision, even if eight Zheng Sen are bundled together, they may not be Wu Liuqi's opponent.He simply let Wu Liuqi do his best, and gained a reputation for generosity.He just put down the binoculars.Picking up the teacup, he took a sip of hot tea happily, and asked Zheng Zhibao about it.

According to Li Shouhan's intentions, Zheng Zhibao dispatched hundreds of people from the Fureclamation Bureau to open up new areas.A veteran who is quite skilled in dealing with the natives.The organizational system has been compiled in advance, and each team is a government. These hundreds of capable officials are enough to turn the entire Java Island into a political system that is no different from the mainland.As long as Wu Liuqi advances for tens of miles, they will bring more than a thousand local Han Chinese and naturalized natives who have been trained under the city of Batavia for a long time, and march into the area occupied by thieves.Set up a government system from the village to the county, so that those rioters have nowhere to hide.

However, all of this is based on the fact that Wu Liuqi's troops have pushed under Yusupu's royal city!

Sure enough, when the brigade continued to advance several miles to Yusupu's royal city, the situation in front of them changed again!

A burst of dense and short-lived gunfire came from a distance, but after a while, a messenger came galloping from Ou Liang's subordinates who were directly facing the direction of Yusupu Sultan's royal city.

"My lord! General! We encountered Yusupu's main force of the rebel army! General Ou was shot and killed, and his troops..."

"How much loss!?"

Wu Liuqi twitched his hooked nose habitually, and this hooked nose was also one of the reasons why he was called Wu Hook.

"More than 300 people under General Ou Liang were injured, more than [-] people were killed in battle, and more than [-] Japanese soldiers and horses were killed in battle. The wounded have not been counted!"

"Order, the health battalion will follow the general! The artillery team will follow the health battalion!"

When Wu Liuqi heard the number of casualties, instead of feeling panicked, he smiled.Loudly conveying orders to the troops of the Chinese army, the officers and soldiers under their command also cheerfully cleaned up the horses and artillery, and checked everything that should be used.

Like a torrent, Wu Liuqi led the health battalion, guard battalion, artillery battalion and [-] elite mercenaries towards the location of Ou Liang's camp.

"Da Mu, why is Tie Beggar so happy when he learned that his subordinates were injured in the ambush and lost a lot of soldiers and horses?" For Wu Liuqi, members of Zheng Zhilong's family can say that everyone is indifferent.Although the Battle of Xiamen was over long ago, the fact that Wu Liuqi ran a long distance to raid their Tong'an lair, turning the old, weak, women and children of the entire family into prisoners of the Southern Guangdong Army made everyone gnash their teeth with hatred.

At this time, Wu Liuqi was not in front of him, so Zheng Zhibao naturally wouldn't hide his likes and dislikes in front of his nephew.

"Uncle Wu, you are good at government affairs, so you are naturally a little unfamiliar with this military affairs. If Uncle Hongkui was here, he would know the key to it." Zheng Sen deliberately sold a pass. "Uncle Wu, my nephew has moved to various places in South China for more than half a year, dealing with rebels from all walks of life, and I have learned a little trick from it. I am not afraid of rebels and thieves confronting our army head-on. With the majestic formation of our Nanyue Army Banner of righteousness, any army is nothing more than a bunch of jumping clowns in front of our army! The only thing to worry about is that the thieves and rebels are scattered and use the mountainous terrain with lush forests and deep grass to deal with our army and fall into a protracted battle. This is What our army is most worried about! Just now Brigadier Wu heard that the troops led by Ou Liangying’s battalion had encountered the Yusupu rebels, and they suffered quite a lot of losses. In addition, there were still gunshots, so it should be possible. It is concluded that that is the main force of Yusupu. Otherwise, in terms of the strength of the rebels on Java Island, no one can cause such a loss to our army with a small number of troops!"

After listening to Zheng Sen's explanation, Zheng Zhibao nodded in relief, "My family has such a great horse, why worry about the family business not being able to continue?"

Forty miles away from Yusupu's royal city, the two armies were confronting each other tensely.

Although he was only a sultan on the mere island of Java, Yusupu's travel style and guard of honor were comparable to those of Li Shouhan.Flags, umbrella fans.Needless to say the various utensils held by the maid, the sedan chair he was riding in was carried by 64 people.There are 64 back-up bearers beside them, who are replaced every five or six miles to ensure that the sedan chair can be lifted quickly and steadily.
