"For the honor of the empire, assault!"

Tadashi Tadashi Tadashi raised his samurai sword diagonally above and directed the samurai troops to launch an attack on the indigenous troops of Aceh Country stationed near Medan!

As the governor of the Tachihua family after Daming of the Warring States Period, he has now become the vanguard of the Jiuzhou Army's invasion of Sumatra Island.

Dozens of warriors wearing armor held spears and Japanese swords charged forward, while warriors held muskets in the jungle on both sides formed cross-fire power, suppressing the archers of Aceh!

The warrior's armor may be useless in the face of increasingly powerful muskets, and it also affects the speed of movement. However, in front of the cold weapons troops of Aceh, the warrior's armor has strong defense.

"I have to say that these warriors who have experienced war are superior to the new recruits recruited by our 12th Corps, especially the quality of the auxiliary soldiers recruited from Nanyang. If the individual quality and cost are considered, these mercenaries are the best candidates for their lives, and the local soldiers in Nanyang are slightly more frequent." Huang Degong used a telescope to observe the attacks of the samurai mercenaries on the indigenous troops of the Aceh country.

In Huang Degong's view, the Japanese soldiers, who were most affected by the Central Plains civilization and experienced the baptism of war, were much more useful than the soldiers on the Nanyang Islands.

Before artillery was used, just the spear charge under the cover of muskets made the local troops of Aceh be defeated in the encounter.

The soldiers of the fleeing Aceh country were sank into the jungle, and Tadashi Tadashi stopped the samurai mercenaries who wanted to pursue.

Although these warriors easily defeated the enemy in melee, they did not know what dangerous terrain might be in the jungle.

Hundreds of warriors swept the battlefield with their knives, and there was almost nothing valuable on the soldiers of Aceh State. Mercenaries buried the bodies of Aceh State soldiers and gathered together.

"These enemies are really disintegrating. Before we fight, they have already escaped."

"Compared with the battle we fought in Osaka, this level is not much different from warm-up."

The warriors felt relaxed when they drove the local troops of Aceh from Medan.

Compared with the Jiuzhou Army, they felt that it was too easy to deal with the indigenous peoples of Aceh.

"You must not underestimate the enemy too much. This is just the indigenous soldiers led by their local nobles. If it is their royal army, they will be elusive in the jungle, as well as tropical diseases and snakes, insects and plague, which is quite a headache." Huang Degong reminded.

Medan is currently a small mountain village in the lowlands, with only hundreds of villagers.

Local villagers panicked and found a strange army appearing in their village.

This army was dozens of times the number of people in their villages. Some of them wore dark gray uniforms, and some of them wore armor.

Horses and mules dragged luggage, ammunition and other supplies, as well as field artillery that they had never seen before.

The frame where the cannon was placed was crushed into two ruts on the ground, and the gunners had to push the frame of the field cannon forward in person. Some auxiliary soldiers holding sickles were heading to clear the thorny dirt road.

At this time, the Sumatra civilization was still in a backward state and lacked good roads. It is undoubtedly a huge challenge to march under such dirt road conditions.

As Huang Degong opposed Hua Zhongmao, the challenges they faced were not only the indigenous troops of Aceh, but also the relatively elite royal army and the harsh environment.

"Enclose them all, no one is allowed to be let go!"

The samurai soldiers who were vanguards screamed one by one, surrounded the villagers of Medan Village with samurai swords and Japanese swords.

"Sir, do you want to kill all the people in this village?" Lihua Zhongmao asked Huang Degong for instructions.

"We will detain them all, we will burn the jungle here, and open up farmland and plantations, a large number of laborers." Huang Degong was not a rude man. In the war with the Kingdom of Aceh and the Kingdom of Blue, the enemies fell under the iron hoof of the 12th Corps.

However, he did not use his head to measure military merits, but to achieve what purpose he wanted.

His current mission is to build the city of Medan and open plantations nearby, and the other is to search for oil, a future energy source in the Ponkaransusu area.

"I imprison all the iron tools, including their kitchen knives, to prevent them from having weapons to resist us! No one is allowed to loot at will without permission, otherwise they will be executed and the stones will sink to the sea." Tadashi Tadashi shouted.

The vicious warriors were undoubtedly the best candidates to execute this order. They soon searched for iron tools such as kitchen knives, sickles, hoes, etc. in the village, and detained the villagers of Medan Village in a small area in the village.

"This area is flat, although there are many jungles and shrubs. If all the jungles are burned, you may be able to open up fertile fields. There are also ports that can communicate with Malacca." Tadashi Tadashi saw the potential of the Medan area at a glance.

"If this place is lost, I believe Queen Ace will lead the King of Master from the royal city and head south along the coastline, thinking of driving us out of Medan. They adopted the model of collecting farmers from the territories of various places as warriors, so it will take some time to form a large army to move south."

Huang Degong and several Corps staff placed a brief topographic map of Sumatra on the ground and reached out to gesture on the topographic map.

"If it takes a lot of time for them to recruit soldiers, isn't the situation more beneficial to us? We can use this time to build a fortress here and find out the nearby terrain. When their army arrives, they will definitely be bleeding." Tadashi Tachihara also had the opportunity to discuss with them.

A staff officer shook his head and pointed his finger at a village 120 miles northwest of Medan Village: "When the Queen summoned her army, we cannot waste time in Medan, but will send a team to Ponkaransusu to find oil. Ponkaransusu is the only place when the Queen of Aceh regains Medan. That is to say, the place where we encountered the King's Division of Aceh was not in Medan, but in Ponkaransusu."

"Then we should immediately send a team to Pangkaransusu to build a fortress, while looking for oil, while preparing to resist the army of the Queen of Aceh. It is best to completely defeat the Queen of Aceh, capture or kill him. At that time, the leader of the Aceh country will definitely be someone who wants to use our power to seize power. At that time, the Aceh country will be at our mercy." Huang Degong said.

When a ruthless man like Tachiha Zhongmao heard Huang Degong's decision, he couldn't help feeling pitiful for the indigenous kingdom of Aceh. The other party's king had been killed by the 12th Corps in the previous conflict, and now he didn't even let the king's wife go.
