"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

Huang Fei gave an order, and more than two hundred naval guns on one side of the Ming fleet opened fire.

More than two hundred bullets and solid bullets were instantly poured on Banten's coastal defense...

Round after round of bombardment, under the crazy bombardment of blooming bullets and solid bullets, Banten's fragile coastal defenses were quickly cleared.

There are no shore batteries in Bandan, and most of the thousands of unprepared indigenous soldiers were blown into a bloody mist by the Ming Dynasty naval artillery bombardment...

After Huang Fei observed carefully with a telescope, he told Li Shouting the situation. Li Shouting waved his hand:

"Soldiers, leave all the rebels alone and land!"

The morale of the Marine Corps officers was high, they raised their rifles and roared strangely, and waded ashore from the transport ship.

Wandan was not prepared at all for the sudden landing of the Ming army.

The Ming army, led by Li Shouting, swept all the way without encountering any decent resistance, and soon arrived in Cirebon.

Even though Banten is small, it is an important agricultural land and a spice production base, with a population of not less than one million.

Their army numbered about 100,000, but almost all of them used cold weapons.

There are only a few thousand real firearms troops, including 2,000 flintlock guns and 2,000 fire guns.

The Netherlands has not invaded them for the time being, which is related to their large population.

For Banten's spices, the Netherlands took the initiative to provide them with firearms, and Banten became the little brother of the Dutch.

Of course, the firearms were not given for free, they were all required to exchange grain and spices.

There are not many cities in Banten, and almost all the troops are gathered in Cirebon and Banten City.

The first city that Li Shouting led the Ming army to capture was Cirebon.

The main power in Banten lies in the hands of Prime Minister Bumi, who ignores King Sultan Mullah.

The leader of the Cirebon garrison is Mausi, the son of Prime Minister Bumi, and the garrison has more than 30,000 troops.

Wan Dan also hates the Ming people as much as other indigenous people. They always feel that the Ming people have taken away their jobs.

The Ming people in Banten also had a hard time, and they were often suppressed by the local natives for being too hard-working.

Maus has benefited a lot from Akito, and he has regarded Akito as his own ATM machine.

Mausi was greedy and lustful, so he stole many beauties from his house, including Japanese, Ming people, and local indigenous women.

Mausi's main job now is to watch beautiful women dance, let them drink with him, and play shy games together.

He indulged in the gentle countryside almost every day. When he had no money to spend, he ordered people to go out and plunder those Mingren merchants.

Most Ming people did not dare to protest, otherwise they would be thrown into the sea by Maus.

While massacring the Akito in Batavia, they were also harvesting the wealthy local Akito.

They had a great harvest today. Mausi was in a good mood and was playing shy games with several beauties.

"Bang..."

"Sir, something bad is going on. The Ming army is coming to kill you."

The door to the room was suddenly knocked open, and Maus, who was working on something, was startled.

When his good deeds were interrupted, he immediately became furious, stood up and slapped the visitor twice:

"Papa..."

"There is a death in your family? What a fuss, how could the Ming army show up here..."

The messenger covered his red and swollen old face, feeling a little aggrieved, and said hurriedly and carefully:

"Really, the Ming army has arrived at the city. There are as many as 20,000 people. You will know if you go and see for yourself."

"Fuck..."

Seeing the serious expression on the soldier's face, Maus had no choice but to believe what he said.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"What is there to be afraid of? Twenty thousand Ming troops have traveled thousands of miles to reach Wandan. At this time, the soldiers and horses are exhausted and there is nothing to be afraid of. An order is sent to all soldiers to go to the city to defend. The young and strong men in the city will help defend the city. Those who disobey

,Kill without mercy!"

Cirebon has more than 30,000 troops, and the Ming Dynasty only came with 20,000 troops. There is no need for them to be nervous.

If the 30,000-strong army is defeated, there will still be tens of thousands of young people in the city.

With 50,000 people defending the city of Wandan, are we still afraid of 20,000 Ming troops attacking the city? They can defeat 20,000 Ming troops in a positional battle...

Mausi wore a pair of big underpants and was shirtless, running up to the city gate of Cirebon.

He pawed at the crenel and looked down, and sure enough he saw an army surrounding Cirebon.

This army numbered more than 10,000 people. They did not wear armor. They all wore green camouflage uniforms, wore a steel helmet on their heads, and held a musket.

The lineup looked very neat, and everyone was standing upright and full of energy.

Maus turned around and asked the lieutenant:

"How many men, horses and muskets are there in Cirebon City now?"

"Sir, there are more than 30,000 horses, more than 1,000 cavalry, and more than 2,000 musketeers in the city."

Maus nodded:

"Have you seen the muskets in the hands of Ming soldiers? They will soon become our trophies."

The lieutenant hurriedly started flattering:

"My lord is mighty. If their firearms become our trophies, your lord can go to Wandan City and ascend to the throne."

The deputy general's words played into Maus's hands. He had long wanted to oust the Sultan, but the old ghost disagreed.

Now seeing the firearms in the hands of the Ming army, Mao Si, an ignorant person who has no fear, actually started to get jealous.

If he could destroy the Ming army and seize the firearms, he would go directly to overthrow the Sultan and take the throne of the Sultan himself.

As for his father Bumi's attitude, it doesn't matter to Maus. If he dares to disagree, Maus dares to throw the old thing into the sea to feed the fish.

Thinking of the throne in his mind, Maus was all dizzy:

"Prepare the sedan chair, order 20,000 infantry, 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 firearms soldiers. I will go out of the city to grab firearms, while the others will guard the city."

"My lord, if you take action personally, you will definitely succeed. The general will go and give you some troops."

Others cheated on their father, but this deputy general cheated on the master. They did not defend the city well, but actually incited the master to go out of the city to fight the Ming army.

In fact, it is also related to their ignorance of the strength of the Ming army. To be more precise, it is caused by ignorance. Let alone 30,000 troops, their 100,000 troops out of the city are not enough for Li Shouting and others to fight...

…

Li Shouting led the army to Cirebon City. He raised his head and looked at the small city in front of him.

The city wall in Cirebon is not high and is made of stone, so it must be very strong.

There are many indigenous soldiers guarding the city at the top of the city. They all hold swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands. It is difficult to see any muskets.

Li Shouting said to General Qian of the Cavalry:

"The Wandan soldiers have never fought against the Ming army. They may send troops out of the city to fight. The cavalry is ready. Once they are defeated, they will attack quickly and rush into the city before the city gate closes."

"Here!"

Commander Qian ordered us to make arrangements immediately.

Asking the cavalry to prepare, Mr. Qian was a little puzzled and asked hurriedly:

"General, they are still using cold weapons, and their combat power is definitely not comparable to that of Jiannu. They should not dare to go out of the city to fight."

Li Shouting chuckled and said:

"We have all fought to their city. They will probably rely on their advantage in numbers to come out of the city and drive us away. No one will allow their country to be invaded.

The most critical issue is that these small and backward countries are ignorant and fearless. How could they imagine the powerful combat effectiveness of our Ming army? We are well prepared..."

"Oh, I wish!"

Mr. Qian was dubious. He always felt that the natives did not dare to leave the city. If he were the general of Wandan, he would not go out of the city to fight the Ming army in a positional battle even if he was beaten to death.

"Squeak..."

"Come on! Kill the bright dog..."

As soon as the two finished talking, the city gate suddenly opened and tens of thousands of horses rushed out of the city.

"Damn it, you really dare to go out of the city to fight..."

Seeing that the Wandan Kingdom army had really left the city, Mr. Qian immediately yelled, "Fuck..."

Li Shouting was overjoyed when he saw this. He looked at the Wandan soldiers like a hungry wolf looking at a lamb, and immediately issued an order:

"Prepare to fight."
