"Bang!" A crisp rifle sounded, and a fleeing Spanish Army soldier fell to the ground. After twitching for a few times, he had no rest!

Under the fierce attack of the Xinhua Army, the Jose coalition quickly collapsed. After the commanders such as Callisto took the lead in escaping, the other ordinary soldiers ran away and had long forgotten the responsibilities of the soldiers. At this time, saving their lives is the most important thing!

The Xinhua Army launched a pursuit of these collapsed Jose Allied Forces. Several cavalry companies played a huge role at this moment. On the wide plain, the cavalry rode their horses and waved their sabers with cold light in their hands. In the high-speed charge, the cavalry only needed a little force to easily cut off a head. Life seemed so fragile at this moment!

"Surrender and avoid death, and keep the gun and do not kill!" The half-baked Spanish and Dutch sounded on the battlefield. Some Chinese on Luzon Island understand Spanish, and many Chinese in Lanfang country know Dutch. Before the battle began, they taught these two sentences to other soldiers. After the Jose coalition defeated, the soldiers of the Xinhua Army chased and shouted such slogans!

Many desperate Jose Allied soldiers immediately threw away their weapons and raised their hands when they heard that they could survive. Although becoming prisoners of the Xinhua Army is a very terrible thing. But this is better than being killed directly by the Xinhua Army on the battlefield!

The Jose Allied Army soldiers who had lost hope but wanted to survive chose to surrender to the Xinhua Army. Those who resisted stubbornly were killed mercilessly by the Xinhua Army. The first battle of the Xinhua Army landing in West Borneo made the Jose Allied Army feel the strength of the Xinhua Army. They originally thought they could compete with the Xinhua Army. But this battle made them understand how outrageous their previous thoughts were wrong!

Those who were also shocked were also required to join the Xinhua Army just to avenge Gu Liubo. After the revenge, they would inevitably have some other ideas. Especially Gu Yun. If Lan Fang Kingdom was not destroyed, he could at least become one of the decision-making levels of Lan Fang Kingdom. After Lan Fang Kingdom was annexed by Xinhua Kingdom, although he could become a senior officer of Lan Fang Kingdom, he obviously had much less power than becoming king in Lan Fang Kingdom. However, this battle allowed them to see the power of the Xinhua Army. Whether it was the initial terrifying artillery bombardment or the attack began, the Xinhua Army quickly defeated the Jose Allied Forces, which made them feel deeply frightened! They all knew that if they had other ideas, these Jose Allied Forces might become their lessons!

The pursuit of the Xinhua Army did not end until dusk. More than 15,000 Jose Allied Forces were almost wiped out. Except for Lieutenant General Carlisto and others who escaped earlier, only a few hundred Jose Allied Forces escaped by chance. The rest were either killed or captured by the Xinhua Army! Among them, the most were captured, with more than 10,000 people!

That night, Gu Yun once again asked Niu Meng, the chief of staff of the Xinhua Army. He hoped to kill these prisoners to pay tribute to Gu Liubo who died in battle and the Chinese in Lan Fangguo who were massacred by the Jose Allied Forces. However, Niu Meng did not agree to his request. These foreign devils deserve to die, but that is what happened after the war! If the prisoners were massacred now, the remaining Jose Allied Forces would inevitably resist to the end, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the battle! Therefore, Niu Meng assured Gu Yun that after all the Jose Allied Forces were eliminated, he would give Gu Yun and the Chinese who died in Lan Fangguo an explanation.

Gu Yun also understood the truth and had to stop sticking to it! The Lanfang Kingdom no longer exists now, and everything is decided by Xinhua Kingdom!

The battle of the war was annihilated more than 15,000 Jose Allied Forces, which greatly boosted the morale of the Xinhua Army. Although before the war began, the Xinhua Army had confidence in winning this battle, but before the battle began, the senior leaders of the Xinhua Army had to make the worst plan, that is, the enemy was very strong, and even if the Xinhua Army wanted to win, they would pay a heavy price! But now it seems that the senior leaders of the Xinhua Army were obviously too worried. In the face of the strong attack of the Xinhua Army, the Jose Allied Forces were vulnerable at all!

After cleaning the battlefield, counting and seizing the prisoners, and imprisoning the prisoners into a temporary prisoner-of-war camp, the Xinhua Army sent a guard force to Dongwanlu. A day of fierce fighting made the soldiers very tired, and it was obviously inappropriate to continue to march towards Dongwanlu. Niu Meng, chief of staff of the Xinhua Army, ordered that after a night of rest, he would march towards Dongwanlu again tomorrow morning. After this battle, everyone was full of hope for annihilation of the Jose Allied Forces!

The temporary prisoner-of-war camp of the Xinhua Army was set up on the beach in Pontianak. More than 10,000 Spanish and Dutch captured were all detained here. The Xinhua Army sent an infantry battalion to guard them. In addition, there were warships of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy on the sea to assist in defense. If an accident occurred in the prisoner-of-war camp, they would open fire on the prisoner-of-war camp from the sea and directly kill all these prisoners of war!

The Battle of Pontianak caused the morale of the Jose Allied Forces to plummet. Originally, the senior executives of the Jose Allied Forces, including Lieutenant General Carlisto, had some confidence in the decisive battle between Dongwanlu. However, after this battle, they suddenly realized that it seemed impossible to defeat the Xinhua Army!

Late at night on July 12, Lieutenant General Caristo fled to Dongwanlu in a panic under the protection of the guard. Before entering Dongwanlu, Lieutenant General Caristo issued a ban to the soldiers of the guard, forbidding them to disclose the news of the Battle of Pontianak to other troops. However, the paper cannot contain the fire, especially when the soldiers who fled back from the Pontianak battlefield arrived at Dongwanlu, they immediately spread the strength of the Xinhua Army to other troops. The entire Jose coalition was panicked for a while and their morale was greatly affected.

After Lieutenant General Carlisto returned to Dongwanlu, he immediately found Dutch Army Lieutenant General Debord, Dutch Indonesia Governor Jacques Dominic, and Spanish Governor Anthony Pedro. He could conspire to the Battle of Pontianak against ordinary soldiers, but he could not hide it from them. After all, everyone is on the same boat now, and if the ship sinks, no one can escape!

"General Calisto, have we failed?" Governor Anthony Pedro asked directly after seeing Lieutenant General Calisto. In fact, everyone could guess the result of the Battle of Pontianak from Lieutenant General Calisto's embarrassing look. However, everyone still had some expectations in their hearts, hoping that a miracle would happen.

"The strength of the Xinhua Army is far beyond our expectations! My 15,000 people were defeated by them in just one hour!" Lieutenant General Carlisto said with some frustration. This was definitely the most severe failure he had encountered in his more than 20 years of joining the army!

"What? How is this possible? When did the Xinhua Army become so powerful?" Lieutenant General Debord asked in surprise. In fact, Lieutenant General Debord's understanding of the Xinhua Army was mainly on paper. The Dutch army had only fought with the Xinhua Army's navy before, but the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet was wiped out. This made them pay attention to the Xinhua Army, but they did not think that the Xinhua Army was much stronger than them.

Anthony Pedro, the governor of Luzon in Spain, had a certain understanding of the army of Xinhua. When the Xinhua army attacked Manila, did not he easily defeat the defenders of Manila and control Manila? By the way, he also cleared out the indigenous peoples in Manila. However, now it seems that the Xinhua army is more powerful than when it attacked Manila!

"General Debor, is the Xinhua Army so powerful? Just ask the defeated soldiers who escaped from the battlefield! They have powerful artillery fire. At the beginning of the battle, we were bombarded by more than 300 large-caliber artillery, at least 32-pound cannons and 12-pound cannons. Our artillery was destroyed by the Xinhua Army's artillery within half an hour! Our infantry phalanx was defeated by the Xinhua Army's artillery!" Lieutenant General Carlisto said in pain. Recalling this battle, it seemed to be a torment for him. Lieutenant General Carlisto used the Xinhua Army's 105mm howitzer as a 32-pound cannon and scored 12-pound cannons in the 75-mm field cannons. Because the fire rate of the Xinhua Army's cannons was generally faster than that of Western artillery, he believed that the Xinhua Army had assembled at least more than 300 cannons!

"Three hundred large-caliber artillery? How is this possible?" Lieutenant General Deborer was completely stunned. According to the weight of Western artillery, the 12-pound cannon weighs about one ton, and the 32-pound cannon weighs about 2.5 tons. It is quite difficult to assemble so many heavy cannons on the battlefield. Marine alone is enough to cause a headache for the troops.

"General Debor, this is the fact! The Xinhua Army did it! What is even more incredible is that they also have a small-caliber rapid-fire cannon that can be fought with the infantry! When their infantry launched an attack, our infantry was attacked by at least hundreds of such small-caliber rapid-fire cannons! Under such a powerful firepower attack, even if our soldiers are brave, they cannot resist it! Under such circumstances, our troops quickly collapsed!" Lieutenant General Carlisto said. The mortars of the Xinhua Army also left a profound impact on him. This sharp infantry support artillery threatened their troops even more than the heavy artillery of the Xinhua Army!
