Several of the generals present almost turned their backs!

Artillery and ammunition are secondary, and it's a big deal to spend money to buy them, but the 20,000 elites lost are not something that can be bought back with money, they are all real, and the elites have been sharpened from one war after another, without such an elite force, how can they deter the colonies all over the world?

"Twenty thousand casualties, Molde, can you still be a little more shameless, can you still be a little more incompetent?"

Pheloc roared angrily, "With such a large casualty, our Kingdom of Spain wants you a clear explanation!" ”

"Explain what? What to explain? ”

Molde said angrily: "God knows that the elite of the Daming Road Army is so powerful, my 30,000 troops face the 50,000 elites of others, they have 6,000 elite cavalry, more than 40,000 infantry, more than 100 flowering cannons, and countless rockets, what about me, what the hell do I have?" Three infantry regiments, your Spanish artillery is a special old cannon, the longest distance is only five miles, two miles away, there is no accuracy, ninety artillery, only more than thirty flowering guns, the rest are solid shell artillery, the siege is okay, field battles, then all are decorations! Your Spain only lost 5,000 men, but Lao Tzu's French Army directly took nearly 10,000 people! Who do I go to? Tropp, Philok, this South Sea is the territory of you Dutch and Spaniards, you didn't explain that the army is so strong, I especially want an explanation! ”

Trope's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "General Molde, this matter is all to blame for our poor deployment before, the elite strength of the Ming army is still too underestimated, no one thought that a small Sumatra Island, the Ming army actually deployed such a powerful force, fifty or sixty thousand elite forces, this is the elite strength of our country......"

Blake replied: "There is no benefit in complaining to each other now, the main thing is how we can turn the tables and fight the next battle!" ”

"I'm going to beat you!"

Molde really didn't want to continue, "What do you care about our Kingdom of France?" In Asia, in the Far East, and without the colonies of our Kingdom of France, what are we doing to make a fuss? It is you who want revenge, not us in France who want to take revenge, can we do it? We have already lost 10,000 elite forces, and if we continue to fight, maybe our more than 20,000 elite forces will be reimbursed! ”

A few people's hearts were shocked, and at this time Molde was going to retreat? Absolutely not, although the strength of the French Navy is not strong, but their army is strong, this is the main force of the Western Alliance, without the French power to charge, then the next face of the Ming Empire will be even less confident!

"Molde, Molde! We have no other meaning, withdrawing from the war at this time, whether it is for the coalition forces or for your country, there are only disadvantages, no benefits, you see, more than 10,000 French warriors, just like that, back to France, how do you explain to the king of your country? Only by continuing to fight, only by continuing to fight, completely defeating the Ming Empire, and getting the benefits that belong to us, can we get sufficient compensation, otherwise, now withdraw to France, how can you face the questions of the nobles? I'm afraid that it is possible to send you to a military court! ”

Blake hurriedly persuaded.

Now all countries have different losses, however, the smallest loss is the British, they are just attacking the battery group, and they are attacking in turn with other countries, as for the attack on Medan, their army has not gone out at all, and now Molde has been beaten, Blake is really a little gloating in his heart, however, Molde wants to withdraw, he naturally can't agree, Molde ran away, then the strength of the other four countries is even more uncertain in the face of the Ming Empire......

Troppe said in a deep voice: "Molde, the French Army has suffered too much loss, you can repair it first, and then fight, attack Java Island and Luzon Island, it will be us and the English Army, Blake, how about it, you have no opinion, right?" ”

Blake shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Troppe, as long as you dare, then our Kingdom of England will naturally accompany you to the end!" Attack the island of Java, it is your duty! ”

Troppe nodded and said: "In this case, then the attack on Java Island will be handed over to the Netherlands and England, as for the attack on Luzon, when France, Spain and Portugal will be the main force, the order will be passed on, and the fleet will immediately set sail and go straight to the Java Isthmus!" ”

Molde ran away, and the news naturally couldn't be hidden from Tan Guilin on Sumatra, and soon, Tan Guilin got the news.

Tan Guilin frowned, the Western coalition army was rescued by the Western fleet in Padang, from Dumai to Padang, but there is a distance of nearly two thousand miles, they ran to Padang, from the Java Isthmus, that is not much distance, it seems that the Western coalition army is really going to change the direction of attack......

"Someone is coming, immediately order someone to send a letter to Lord Yifan by boat, ask him to make a decision, send someone to inform Lord Cha Shu, and ask the Imperial Fleet to step up precautions and be careful of the Western alliance forces entering the South Seas from the Java Isthmus!"

After some deployment, Tan Guilin was still a little unsure, and then shouted: "Send an order to Xia Wanchun, the chief soldier of the first town of the Tianxiong Army, and order him to lead the elite cavalry to the south immediately, go straight to the Java Isthmus, and defend on the spot!" ”

At the same time as Tan Guilin made the deployment, Xu Yifan was already in action.

Xu Yifan has been sitting in Malacca, the main force of the Western coalition army has withdrawn from Dumai, naturally it is impossible to escape Xu Yifan's eyes, the opponent is going to open up another battlefield, it seems that on Sumatra Island, Tan Guilin has completely hurt the opponent, but now only one Portuguese fleet is left here, and the rest of the fleet has run away, which is the best time to eat the Portuguese fleet!

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yifan's mouth, and he immediately ordered Zheng Haotian to lead the main force of the First Fleet to immediately rush west from the east of Borneo, and within three days, he must rush to the Strait of Malacca and prepare to encircle and annihilate the Portuguese naval fleet!

The Portuguese naval fleet has a total of fifty warships, and its strength is limited, if the main force of the First Fleet pounces on it, it will not be a problem to eat the Portuguese fleet!

Xu Yifan waited for the arrival of the First Fleet, his eyes almost never taking off the map.

"My lord, Lord Yang Geng, the commander of the Third Fleet, sent someone to send military information!"

Zhao Xin, the chief soldier of the second town, came to the back of Xu Yifan and said in a low voice.

Xu Yifan turned around and asked, "What military situation?" ”

Zhao Xin hurriedly replied: "My lord, Admiral Yang's mines in the Java Isthmus have been deployed, and he specially sent the defense map, please take a look." ”
