Between the northern wall and the castle, there is a large vegetable patch, which is the private land of the Dutch and usually handed over to slaves from Bali to cultivate.

Zhang Xianzhong, with dozens of old thieves and hundreds of Japanese ronins, stood in a fan shape in the vegetable field, quietly waiting for the north gate to open.

It can only be said that the Dutch deserve it, they usually guard against foreign races, afraid of the Han Chinese, Javanese, Indians, Arabs attacking the castle, so they left only a passage and a bridge between the city and the castle.

Zhang Xianzhong has also seen the drawings drawn by the hot air balloon observation, and of course he has to block this necessary way.

"Babble!"

The gates slowly opened, and Dutch soldiers swarmed out.

"Kill!"

When the Dutch soldiers rushed out of the city gate of seventy or eighty people, Zhang Xianzhong gave an order, and the soldiers standing in a fan shape immediately surrounded and killed.

These Dutch soldiers rushed out of the city gate in a hurry, and they didn't see clearly in the dark, and countless weapons slashed their heads and covered their faces.

Clapp rushed forward, subconsciously separating a katana, and then his shoulder was slashed by the blade. Although the chain mail blocked the blade, it still gave him a pain in the shoulder, and then a Japanese spear stabbed him.

"Retreat to the city!"

Clapp cried out in pain, and as he spoke, he was stabbed in the waist by an old thief.

The Dutch soldiers in the back were crowded in the doorway, completely unaware of what was happening in front of them, and only guessed that they must have been ambushed. They turned in panic and collided with the friendly forces further behind, and the people in the doorway were too crowded to move.

An old thief slammed into him, and Clapp lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The ronin next to him flew up, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and the back of the knife with the other, pressing it against his neck and slashing it. The Dutch army commander raised his hand to push away the katana, but the artery in his neck was cut, blood gushed out, and his strength seemed to fade with the blood.

The Dutch soldiers were accompanied by slaves from Bali.

Before the slaves could enter the doorway, they were blocked in the city and unable to move forward. At first, I was a little confused, but then someone turned and ran away.

A Balinese slave named Boya raised his weapon and shouted: "Warriors of Bali, the time has come for revenge, kill the Dutch with me!" ”

Bali, in the Han and Tang dynasties, it was called "Boli", in the Song Dynasty it began to be called "Ma Li", and in the Ming Dynasty, it became "Boli".

When Zheng He's fleet visited Bali, King Bairi Misura held a grand welcoming ceremony. Since then, there have been Han Chinese merchants who have traveled to Bali to engage in overseas trade.

Bali is scripted, and like the Luzon script, it is a variant of the Indian script.

A people with a written language would not be too bad in terms of farming and weaving technology.

In some parts of Bali, the temple is still preserved by Zheng He, and there are still a few Han Chinese settlers.

With the addition of Balinese slaves, the war situation was completely stabilized.

The Dutch soldiers who were blocked in the doorway were flanked by the front and back, and they did not even have a chance to surrender. Many Dutch soldiers, after falling, were trampled to death by friendly soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, they were corpses with a hole.

……

South of the city.

2,000 Datong troops landed in the city one after another, killing more than 4,000 Javanese and retreating.

At the critical moment, Sun Kewang came with his troops.

He led hundreds of ronins to kill, and the Javanese in the eastern section of the southern city wall were immediately attacked from the left and right. These guys have no morale at all, and those who run fast quickly leave the city walls, and those who run slowly have been completely blocked, and one by one they kneel and surrender.

Hearing the shouts of killing spreading into the city from the city wall, the Han rebels and Johor soldiers outside the moat in the west of the city immediately had the courage to attack the city.

They did not bring rafts or planks, but jumped into the moat and swam with their bare hands to enter through the city gates.

"Revenge!"

Some of these Han rebels were hunted down from the city. Not only did they hate the Dutch, but they also hated the Javanese who attacked them for no reason.

After these Han rebels entered the city, they did not obey the military orders at all, and chased and cut down the Javanese in groups. Even the Javanese who had surrendered were served with knives, guns and clubs, and many Javanese were beaten to the point that they could not find good bones on their bodies.

The prince of Johor was even more, robbing everywhere with 1,500 Johor soldiers, and when he saw the house, he went in to get things, and in a blink of an eye, he had lost the organization of the army.

Rush to grab, grab the Indian and Arab community.

The Indians and Arabs organized militias to join forces to defend themselves against the enemy, and they actually defeated hundreds of Johor soldiers who rushed into the neighborhood.

In a situation where he had already won the victory, the Prince of Johor was slashed, fled to Tie Hong with his wounds for help, and cried: "General, there are still enemies over there, and they are very fierce, my army has been dispersed, please lead the troops to kill it quickly!" ”

Tie Hong really believed it, and charged with the army.

Rushing halfway through, more than a dozen Indians and Arabs, kneeling in the middle of the street with torches, actually shouted in Chinese: "We surrendered, we did not kill the Chinese, we and the Chinese are friends!" ”

Tie Hong stopped his march and ordered: "Let them lay down their weapons and put them all in custody." Only then did he remember something, and turned around and scolded the Prince of Johor: "Go and gather your soldiers, don't take advantage of the chaos to rob again!" ”

The Prince of Johor said: "The general can rest assured, the general will take the big head of the loot, and we will only take the small head." ”

The black buddy was so angry that he kicked it over: "I'll say it again, you listen well." I'll let you collect the troops, don't rob again, don't let you divide the money! ”

"Boom, boom!"

Suddenly, there was a cannon sound, and a cannonball smashed, smashing the roof more than ten meters away from Tiehong.

However, the Dutch governor found that the city had been breached, and the Dutch soldiers did not return for a long time, so he ordered the indiscriminate artillery fire on the city.

West of the city, outside the moat.

Adjutant General Zhan led hundreds of Datong troops and stayed there all the time, because there was a forest further west, and the Dutch reinforcements were in the forest.

The commander of the reinforcements was called Dirk, who commanded 600 Dutch troops and more than 3,000 Indian native soldiers. These Indian soldiers did not come from the Mughal Empire, but from the small states of southern India, and all of them came from the untouchable class.

"Sir, there's a fight in Batavia, won't we go to the rescue?" The adjutant asked.

Dirk said angrily: "We only have 600 people, and the rest of the Indian soldiers have no morale in the daytime, and they don't break up directly when they fight at night?" The battle situation on the Batavian side is unknown, and there is no rescue now, otherwise it will be easy to be ambushed on the way. Rest assured, Batavia's castles and cities are so fortified that they are impossible to break down in one night. We waited patiently until daylight and then fought with the friendly forces in the city. ”

In the Batavia direction, it gradually quieted down, and the sound of artillery had completely stopped.

Dirk was immediately relieved and said to his soldiers: "The enemy has been repulsed, the friendly troops are holding the wall, let's wait for the dawn together." ”

In the castle, there were only more than 800 Dutch defenders left.

Governor Rainiers was worried, and said to the adjutant, "The Dutch soldiers in the city must have been killed. The civilians who retreated into the castle, as well as the civilians, all took up arms and held on. I hope that the enemy will suffer heavy casualties in the siege of the city, and that we will continue to fight with reinforcements. ”

At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong was saying to Tie Hong: "General Tie, the soldiers are very fast, give me a thousand soldiers, and immediately rush to the Dutch reinforcements in the west!" ”

Tie Hong had already been loyal to Zhang Xian, and immediately said: "Okay, give you a thousand people." ”

The old thieves under Zhang Xianzhong's command, as well as those ronins, spared several miles after nightfall, and kept fighting in the middle of the night, and they were already exhausted and out of breath.

But Zhang Xianzhong didn't rest at all, and took dozens of old thieves, hundreds of ronins, and a thousand Datong troops to go out from the west of the city to raid the Dutch reinforcements. Halfway through the encounter with the deputy general Zhan, Yu Zhan also set off with hundreds of Datong troops, and the temporary command was naturally taken over by Zhan.

At first, walking was very slow, after all, everyone was tired, which was equivalent to taking a walk and resting.

Gradually recovering some physical strength, Zhang Xianzhong said to Zhan: "General Yu, we have strength." ”

Yu Zhan nodded and said, "Speed up the march." ”

By the time they arrived in the woods, it was almost dawn, and the speed slowed down again, and the soldiers moved forward lightly and carefully.

The old thieves under the command of Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang are accustomed to drilling in the woods in Taiwan and are responsible for exploring the way ahead.

"Clank!"

After more than twenty minutes of advancing in the woods, an old thief who was exploring the way raised his foot and kicked a thin rope, and immediately a bell rang in the tree.

The Dutch sentry, who was dozing in the tree, was instantly awakened by the bell, took out the whistle and blew it violently.

"Kill!"

Yu Zhan was about to give an order, but Zhang Xianzhong had already roared.

The Datong Army, the ronin, and the old thieves quickened their pace and charged towards the unknown front.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, get up and fight!"

Dutch commander Dirk shouted.

Six hundred Dutch soldiers moved "quickly", but the quality of the army was there, and the speed was not fast at all. You can't ask too much of a bunch of soldiers who are poorly paid and born drunkards, and even more so they have to sleep for a while when they are on the march during the day and awakened by the sound of artillery at night.

The Dutch soldiers gathered at a rapid pace, and the Indian soldiers behaved even more indestructively.

More than 3,000 Indian soldiers from untouchable backgrounds woke up in a daze, and when they heard that the enemy was coming, their first reaction was not to fight, but to throw down their weapons and run away.

Whoever they love, they are simply paid, they are very brave in the daytime, and they don't run too fast in the event of a surprise attack at night.

The camp of the Dutch reinforcements consisted only of simple wooden fences.

Faced with shouts of killing in the darkness, the Dutch soldiers hurriedly opened fire. Shoot in the direction of the sound, where exactly the enemy is and how far away the enemy is, they have absolutely no idea.

A gunshot rang out, and only a few unlucky eggs were hit.

After the Dutch soldiers released their guns, the lights were blind, and they couldn't reload at all, so they could only pick up cold weapons and retreat.

Kanjiro was holding a Japanese-style spear, and the wooden fence in front of him had been knocked down by the Daido army. He jumped over with his gun raised, and rushed to kill with boiling blood, but he also couldn't see the enemy clearly, and only followed the enemy's cry in pursuit.

Kanjiro's grandfather, who used to be just a ronin, became a samurai of the Fukui Domain during the Warring States period.

With the end of the Warring States period, the samurai were laid off by various feudal domains, and his family became unemployed.

A few years ago, the Keo'an Incident broke out, and a group of unemployed and unlucky samurai tried in vain to assassinate Tokugawa Ietsuna, who had just succeeded to the throne. Not to mention the failed assassination, the Great Purge ensued, and the shogunate and feudal lords captured ronin everywhere, and Kanjiro had to flee to Ryukyu in a small boat.

He went to Luzon, took care of the homes of Han landlords, and came to Batavia to fight in a daze.

Kanjiro had stabbed a Dutch soldier to death before, and his fighting spirit was even more and more high. Because the governor of Luzon promised that as long as the battle was won, he would return to Luzon and distribute the natives' wives, and he could also get a few acres of land if he made great achievements.

I don't know how long I chased in the dark, but the sky was already dark.

Kanjiro found that there was no one around him, and he had broken away from the main army. But further ahead, there is still an enemy on the run, rushing up and cutting off his head is a battle achievement!

Commander Dirk was out of breath and couldn't run, so he drew his command knife and turned around to engage the battle.

Kanjiro has been running more and more energetically, since he was conscripted into the army, he has been able to eat enough every day, and now that the battle achievements are in front of him, he feels that he is full of strength.

A Dutchman, a Japanese, slowly approached.

The command knife in Dirk's hand was less than a meter long.

The Japanese-style spear in Kanjiro's hand is two meters long.

Moreover, Dirk woke up in a dream and was not wearing armor at all, while Kanjiro was wearing leather armor.

Dirk swung his knife and slashed, Kanjiro used his spear technique to "pull", and the spear stirred and interfered. Then, Kanjiro made another move to "lead down", followed by the special move "reverse folding".

The tip of the gun stabbed hard into Dirk's abdomen, pulling, poking, poking, poking...... The abdomen was quickly poked into a sieve.

Cutting off Dirk's head and picking up Dirk's command knife, Kanjiro grinned. He made meritorious contributions, and when he returned to Luzon, he not only had an indigenous wife, but he would definitely be given several acres of land.

By the way, Kanjiro is not called Kanjiro now, and the Chinese emperor ordered that the ronin must change his name.

He then hired his landlord surnamed Lin, and the landlord named him Lin Laoshi......
