After a whole afternoon of fierce battle, most of the 30,000 indigenous elites in Berida became separated carbohydrates at this time.

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

The smoke of gunpowder is still burning everywhere, and the toxic smell that has not yet dissipated is still a bit choking, making people feel a little dizzy.

The Cavalry Brigade of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard, which was responsible for pursuing the remaining elite indigenous people, had to cover his mouth and nose with wet cloth, while the infantry and artillery simply retreated for a while and took some rest.

After all, the fight from Jingliwen killed countless people. Even the soldiers of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard could not withstand the body, and many of them even developed mental illness.

I don’t know where Lu Xiangyu found the native woman. Under the temptation and coercion of money and muskets, many people were vented.

Just as the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards was resting, the King of Java mobilized heavy troops and took back Berida, which made the King of Java start to ignite a glimmer of hope.

But in fact, it was the intentional retreat of the Imperial Guards that gave him a chance to regain Berida City.

After the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards was restored, they found that the city of Berida was restored at this time, and this time the indigenous army also learned a little, dug moats, and built an additional city wall.

Through the scouts, it was discovered that the city of Berida was actually equipped with artillery, firearms and a large number of archers and crossbow equipment.

The Imperial Guard Lu Xiangyu did not expect that in just over ten days, the city of Berida, which was recaptured by the Javan native army, would suddenly be strengthened to such a point.

In Lu Xiangyu's opinion, if you want to break through Berida City, you can still capture it, but it will definitely not be as easy as before. After all, the artillery and ammunition carried by the Fourth Army is limited, and it is impossible to consume a large amount of ammunition to attack Surabaya, the capital of Java under Berida City.

Moreover, judging from the posture of the Javan army, it was necessary to defend Berida's rhythm, because the moat was dug wide and deep, and there was no time to even build a suspension bridge, so it was obvious that it did not mean to leave a way out for itself.

It is probably the king of Java who gave them the death order, and the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards is now accused of massacres, which makes them know that even if they surrender, they will not be released, so they are more active than before.

Lu Xiangyu estimated that if he rashly attacked Belida City, he would probably increase the casualties of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard. This is the first time he has been away from domestic combat and there is no field hospital with the army.

Lu Xiangyu didn't want his soldiers to bury their bones in this foreign land.

Lu Xiangyu, who has a deep knowledge of the history of military wars in China for thousands of years, has long been familiar with the truth that wars are never too tired of deceitful, so he still understands this, so he did not implement the step-by-step strategy this time, but ordered a detour to go straight to the capital of Java from Tuban.

This made Lu Xiangyu very depressed. He thought that he didn't need to use his brain to destroy this small Java country, he just needed to directly use poison gas and cannons and sharp muskets to directly push and crush them.

But now he has forced him to give the indigenous army of Java a lesson of 36 strategies.

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

At the same time, he took most of the main forces to detour from Tuban.

The distance from Subaraya to Tuban is farther from Beli to Subaraya, and the road conditions are more complicated, because there are not only tropical jungles, but also active volcanoes that erupt sometimes.

The Ming army had never experienced natural disasters such as volcanoes, so this had to be considered a test for them.

Fortunately, many officers of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard are from the Royal Military Academy. Although they have never seen active volcanoes on the spot, they also know what happened in theory classes and what problems will happen when they march.

Therefore, except for spending more time, the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard did not encounter much challenge in the march from Tuban to Surabaya.

However, the king of Java was easily fooled. He now wanted to mobilize all the heavy troops as much as possible to fight the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard in Berida. For this reason, he transferred half of the ace troops stationed in Subaraya, and even the rare artillery and firearms.

When the king of Java learned that the Ming army now attacked Berida almost every day but was repelled, he felt joy and hope to repel the Ming Dynasty.

In order to directly defeat the main force of the Ming army in Berida, avoid the destruction of the beautiful city of Surabaya, and also prevent the destruction of his beautiful palace, the king of Java, with the support of a group of indigenous people, decided to make a bold move and transfer all the main force of Surabaya's city to Berida City, including his royal guards.

For a time, the number of defenders in Berida City surged to more than 60,000, and the entire small Berida City was crowded.

But in fact, the war here was not as fierce as expected. The feint attack troops of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guards just fired a few guns to Belida City every day, and then charged a few times. Even if the number of casualties exceeded three, they retreated directly.

But this was a great victory in the eyes of the indigenous army. They eagerly conveyed the good news of victory to the king of Surabaya, but they never dared to go out of the city to fight the Imperial Guards.

In order to get more rewards, they even exaggerated and said that they had wiped out many Ming teams.

The king of Java believed it. In order to encourage his subordinates to continue his efforts, his rewards were not vague, but it also prompted these indigenous troops to live more and more leisurely in Berida City. Even if they were to mobilize a force, they would symbolically guard the city and start looking for joy in the city.

Many people even acted as mighty in front of the people.

The king of Java did not know the reality at this time. He was now blinded by these false and large amounts of victory information. He really thought that the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard had been successfully blocked outside Belida City, and it would only take a moment to defeat it.

So, he also began to relax and specially invited a group of trusted ministers 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 Imperial Guard had arrived at the city of Surabaya, while his capital Surabaya was just an empty city at this time!

However, the king of Java and his powerful men were still immersed in the victory of nothingness. With the drunkenness, they laughed directly at the Ming army. Even though they were powerful, they were still blocked outside Belida by the indigenous army of Java.
