After a whole afternoon of fierce fighting, most of the 30,000 indigenous elites in Belida were separated carbohydrates. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even due to the use of a large number of incendiary bombs, many indigenous elites were directly carbonized.

There is still gunpowder smoke burning everywhere, and there is still a poisonous smell that has not yet dissipated, and it is still a little choking, so that people can still feel a little dizzy.

The cavalry brigade of the Fourth Janissary Army, which was responsible for chasing down the remnants of the indigenous elite, also had to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths, while the infantry and artillery simply retreated some distance to take a break.

After all, after fighting all the way from Cirebon, killing countless people, the soldiers of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard couldn't bear it even if they were beaten with iron, and many of them even suffered from mental illness.

I don't know where Lu Xiangyu found the indigenous woman, and under the lure and coercion of money and muskets, many people have been vented.

And just as the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard was resting, the king of Java mobilized a heavy army and reclaimed Belida, which made the king of Java begin to ignite a glimmer of hope.

But in fact, it was the Janissaries who deliberately retreated to give him a chance to reclaim the city of Belida.

When the Fourth Janissary Army had rested, it was found that the city of Belida had been restored to its defenses, and this time the indigenous army had learned to be a little more obedient, digging a moat and building an additional wall.

Through the scouts, it was discovered that the city of Belida at this time was also equipped with artillery, as well as firearms and a large number of archers and crossbow equipment.

Janissary Lu Xiangyu did not expect that in just over ten days, the city of Belida, which was recaptured by the indigenous army of Java, would suddenly be strengthened to such a point.

In Lu Xiangyu's opinion, if you want to break through the city of Belida at this time, you can take it, but it will definitely not be as easy as before, after all, the artillery ammunition carried by the Fourth Army is limited, and it is impossible to consume a large amount of ammunition to attack the capital of Java Surabaya under the city of Belida.

Moreover, looking at the posture of the indigenous army of Java, it is to stick to the rhythm of Belida, because the moat was dug wide and deep, and there was no time to even build a suspension bridge, obviously there was no intention of leaving a way back for itself.

It is estimated that the king of Java gave them a death order, and coupled with the fact that the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard is now slaughtering the city at every turn, they know that even if they surrender, they will not be let go, so they are all more active than before.

Lu Xiangyu estimated that if he attacked Belida again, he was afraid that the casualties of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard would increase.

Lu Xiangyu didn't want a large number of his soldiers to be buried in this foreign land.

Lu Xiangyu, who has a family background, is already familiar with the thousands of years of military war history in China, and he still understands the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit, so this time he did not implement the strategy of advancing step by step, but ordered a detour from the direction of Tuban to Surabaya, the capital of Java.

This made Lu Xiangyu very depressed, he thought that he didn't need to use his brain to destroy this small Javanese country, he only needed to directly use poison gas and cannons plus sharp muskets to directly push and crush the past.

But now he was forced to give the native army of Java a lesson of thirty-six tricks.

Lu Xiangyu left behind an artillery team and an infantry battalion as the main force to continue the attack outside Belida, in order to attract the attention of the indigenous army of Java.

At the same time, he came from the direction of Tuban with most of the main detour.

The distance from Subalaya in the direction of Tuban is farther than that of Belida to Surabaya, and the road conditions are more complicated because of the tropical jungle in the area, as there are also active volcanoes that erupt from time to time.

For a natural disaster like a volcano, the Ming army had never experienced it, so this had to be regarded as a test for them.

Fortunately, many officers of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard are from the Royal Military Academy, and although they have not seen active volcanoes on the spot, they also know what is going on in theory classes and what problems they will encounter when they march.

Thus, apart from taking a little more time, the Fourth Janissary Army did not encounter much challenge in its march from Tuban to Surabaya.

On the contrary, the king of Java was easily fooled, and he now wanted to mobilize all the heavy troops as much as possible to fight the Fourth Army of the Janissaries in Belida, for which he transferred half of the ace troops stationed in Subaraya, even with rare artillery and firearms.

When the king of Java learned that the Ming army was now attacking the city of Belida almost every day but were all repulsed, he once again felt joy and hope to repel the Ming.

In order to be able to directly defeat the main force of the Ming army in Belida, and avoid the destruction of the beautiful city of Surabaya, as well as his beautiful palace, the king of Java, with the support of a group of indigenous magnates, decided to make a bold move and transferred all the main defenders of Surabaya to Belida, including his palace guards.

For a time, the defenders of Belida surged to more than 60,000 people, and the entire small Belida city was overcrowded.

But in fact, the fighting here was not as fierce as imagined, and the feints of the Fourth Army of the Janissaries only routinely fired a few cannons at Belida every day, and then made a few charges, even if they retreated directly as long as the number of casualties exceeded three.

This was a great victory in the eyes of the native army, and they eagerly conveyed the good news of victory to the king of Surabaya, but they did not dare to go out of the city to fight the Praetorian Guard.

In order to ask for more rewards, they even exaggerated, saying how many Ming troops they had annihilated.

The king of Java believed it, and in order to encourage his subordinates to continue their efforts, his reward was unambiguous, but it also prompted these indigenous armies to live more and more chic and comfortable in the city of Belida, even if they sent a force to symbolically defend the city and began to find joy in the city.

There are many who are even powerful in the presence of the people.

The king of Java did not know the reality at this time, he was now blinded by the false and overwhelming information of victory, and he really thought that the Fourth Janissary Army had been successfully blocked outside Belida, and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

Therefore, he also began to relax a little, and specially invited a group of ministers who were close to him to watch the beautiful women dance.

But the king of Java did not know that most of the main forces of the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard at this time had reached the city of Surabaya, the capital of his country, and that the capital of his country was nothing more than an empty city at this time!

However, the king of Java and his magnates were still immersed in the vanity of victory, and by getting drunk, they laughed directly at the Ming army, which was still blocked outside Belida by the indigenous army of their own Java.

There are even indigenous magnates who have begun to shout that when these Ming troops are repelled, they must teach those Han people a good lesson.
