Chapter 874: Rebel against the Ming Dynasty

"Daming will be defeated, our chance has come, capture Medan!" In Medan City, Du Mingwei, the leader of the alliance of the aboriginal aristocratic forces, Du Mingwei, raised his arms.

He wants to restore Dutch rule, as long as Dutch rule is restored, then he will be able to get rid of the Ming Dynasty and become the emperor of the land only under the Dutch, and even the Dutch will have to rely on him to a certain extent, and he has reached the point where he will do whatever it takes to achieve this grand goal.

As early as a few months ago, Du Mingwei was prepared, not only secretly trained an elite force of thousands of people, but also won the support of thousands of ordinary aborigines, counting the 1,000 elite forces that had been trained for a long time, a total of 12,000 people in and outside the rebel army team in and outside Medan.

However, the Ming garrison in Medan City has only 2,000 people, which is only one-sixth of Du Mingwei's anti-army, and theoretically, the 2,000-Ming garrison is definitely not the opponent of Du Mingwei's 12,000-strong anti-army.

In fact, the result was indeed as Du Mingwei expected.

"Kill"

There were 2,000 rebels inside the city and 10,000 rebels outside the city, attacking the south gate of Medan at the same time.

There were less than 300 soldiers of the Ming garrison guarding the south gate.

The two sides immediately launched a fierce battle, although the garrison of the 300 Ming Army had a lot of training in peacetime, but after all, it only used ordinary cold weapons and swords, and the weapons were not much more advanced than the anti-army, and the number of anti-troops was too much.

"Poof! Burst! Blood splattered the city wall, and seventeen or eighteen soldiers of the Ming garrison were hacked and killed.

The commander of the Ming army company who commanded the three hundred soldiers of the garrison looked horrified.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! The commander of the garrison company slashed and killed a rebel soldier with a knife, and then yelled at the garrison soldier who was fighting fiercely against the rebels.

The commander of the garrison army took the remaining more than 200 soldiers of the Ming garrison army and retreated to the other city gates.

Due to the active retreat of the soldiers of the Ming garrison, the rebels quickly took the south gate of Medan City, and the morale of tens of thousands of rebels outside the city was greatly boosted, and they all entered the city, and after merging with the two thousand rebels in the city, their strength increased instantly.

Immediately, the anti-army was divided into several units, each of which had more than 2,000 people, respectively, towards the Ming garrison garrisons in various parts of the city, as long as they killed the two thousand Ming army garrisons in the city, they would be able to completely occupy Medan, the largest city in Sumatra, when the time came, their anti-army will inevitably be greatly inspired, and the other counter-armies have echoed, and finally everyone will attack it in groups, and soon be able to solve the Ming army of the entire Sumatra Island, control Sumatra Island in hand, and then rely on Sumatra Island, and gradually take the entire Indonesian archipelago, Break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the temptation of a bright future, the rebel armies, under the leadership of the aboriginal nobles, became more and more demoralized and attacked fiercely.

After the Ming garrison at the south gate retreated to the east gate, there were less than 200 soldiers left, but after merging with the 300 garrison at the east gate, the number reached nearly 500 people.

However, the Ming garrison did not seem to intend to hold Medan City.

"Fight and retreat! Let them occupy Medan! A general of the Ming garrison calmly ordered.

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" Immediately, nearly 500 garrison soldiers, under the command of the battalion commander of the Ming army, gradually retreated from the east gate to the outside of the city, and gave the east gate to the rebels.

Not only the Ming garrison at the south gate and the east gate gave up the two gates to the rebels with little resistance.

After the thousands of soldiers of the garrison army in the main camp of the garrison in the center of the city, as well as the hundreds of garrison soldiers at the west gate and the north gate, they did not resist much, and gradually withdrew from the city, so that more than 10,000 rebels quickly captured the city of Medan.

"Don't chase it yet!" Du Mingwei watched the Ming army quickly move away from Medan's figure, and gave the rebel army an order.

Now that they have occupied the city of Medan, they should immediately spread the news so that the forces of other cities can also rise up and echo, and when the time comes, it is not too late for all parties to gather and annihilate the Ming army in the entire island of Sumatra in one go.

Du Mingwei was bent on resuming the expulsion of the Ming army and restoring the rule of the Dutch, what he didn't notice was that the 2,000 Ming garrisons stationed in Medan City retreated in a very orderly manner, and it seemed that they had been prepared.

There were about 1,700 soldiers left in the Ming garrison who had withdrawn from Medan.

"Commander Huang Wei expected it to be true, and the rebels really didn't catch up." The commander of the garrison sneered.

"Let's go, I'll wait to meet with Commander Huang Wei!"

The commander of the garrison then rushed to the northwest with the remaining 1,700 or so garrison soldiers, where the commander of the Eighth Army, Huang Wei, the governor of Indonesia, Zhao Dequan, and the 7,000 soldiers of the Eighth Army were located.

As early as a few months ago, Zhao Dequan and Huang Wei planned all this, in order to take advantage of the attack of the European Combined Fleet to completely purge Indonesia's disloyal forces to the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, 1,700 garrison soldiers who had withdrawn from Medan arrived.

"Commander Huang, Governor Zhao, Du Mingwei and other rebels have captured Medan City!" The commander of the garrison reported to Huang Wei and Zhao Dequan.

"Good! They are looking for death, and it is better to jump out one by one, and this governor will not let any of them go! Zhao Dequan sneered with murderous intent.

Indigenous rebels such as Du Mingwei have been one of the most unstable factors in Indonesia, as he has known for years.

At the beginning, Da Ming Nian was also from the Han people, and they all had Han blood in their bodies, so after the Ming Dynasty conquered the Indonesian Islands, they just drove away the Dutch, and did not embarrass them much, but unfortunately they didn't know how to be grateful, although there was Han blood in their bodies, but for their own interests, they had been thinking about restoring the rule of the Dutch, and they also bewitched a group of ordinary aborigines to follow, which really deserved death.

"Yes, let them occupy Medan, is to help them strengthen their momentum, so that everyone who should jump out jumps out, and I will wait for all of them!" Huang Wei, commander of the Eighth Army, also said with a smile.

As one of the earliest twelve regular armies, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Army in the regular army is only a little worse than that of the six armies from the Ying Long Army, besides, the combat effectiveness of the regular army is not the same level as the garrison army at all, Du Mingwei and others do not understand what kind of existence the Ming regular army is, thinking that if they defeat the Ming garrison, they will be able to occupy the entire island of Sumatra, and even the entire Indonesian archipelago.
