"Kill!" More than 20 Han cavalry rushed among the horse-killing blue men, swung straight at the sword, and the horse-killing blue soldiers who could kill thousands of people retreated step by step, and finally escaped from the rubber forest. The fortress siege in the rubber forest was easily lifted.

"Are you okay?" The cavalry officers saw more than a dozen samurai and more than twenty Javanese residents trapped in the rubber forest. It was also a skill for them to keep this small bunker under the siege of thousands of horse-drawn soldiers.

There were dozens of horse-drawn soldiers scattered around this small bunker. It can be seen that the defenders of more than 30 people in the bunker suffered heavy casualties with firearms, which made thousands of horse-drawn soldiers unable to chew off the bunker built in the rubber forest.

"Apart from a companion who was sneak attacked and shot by them, everyone else was unscathed. Their purpose would definitely not be to attack the Rubber Forest. Their real main army should be Batavia!" said Miyamoto Musashi.

"We have received the news from you that the captain and the sheriff are arriving in defense, and that our mission is to attack their food routes." said the cavalry officer.

"Just you guys?" A warrior couldn't believe it when he saw that the cavalry officers had only more than twenty cavalrymen led by the cavalry officer.

There were thousands of troops invading the Rubber Forest. It was normal for their main force, including tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers. Such a large army had thousands of logistics troops!

"We are enough people, if we can't beat them, we will run away." said the cavalry officer as a matter of course.

As an officer of the 12th Corps, which battle was not prepared for the psychological preparations of facing ten times or hundreds of times the indigenous people?

"Please let me fight with you!" Miyamoto Musashi realized that this was an opportunity to establish military merits. Whether he could change from a mercenary guarding the rubber forest to a standing soldier in the empire depends on this battle!

"You look a little older, can you still fight immediately?" The cavalry officer couldn't help asking when he saw that there were obvious wrinkles on Miyamoto Musashi's face.

"There is a Chinese language, so I'm still stronger! I have no problem at all!" said Miyamoto Musashi.

"Then bring dry food and muskets, we are ready to go deep into the jungle to attack the enemy's logistics." The cavalry officer agreed to his request when he saw Miyamoto Musashi actively asked for battle.

The army of horses attacked the Lan army and came to Batavia for five days. They did not stop attacking the fortresses on the outskirts of the city, but the offensive was very unsuccessful. Whether it was long-range firepower or melee battles and Japanese warriors, the defenders from higher-level civilizations made them suffer.

The firearm technology of the Horse-Daught Blue Kingdom is not only compared with the Ottoman Empire and Mughal Empire, but also the nearby indigenous countries such as Aceh and Banten. After all, the former obtained a batch of backward mesh guns and artillery from the Ottoman Empire when communicating with Arab merchants. The Horse-Daught Blue Kingdom developed from the central part of Java is more barbaric. The fire-door guns they used are not much better than bows and arrows.

In an era when artillery was becoming popular, it was undoubtedly very difficult to attack the city without artillery!

Not only can it not collapse the city wall, it cannot suppress the firepower of the defenders!

On the sixth day, two old cannons that Sudan had high hopes for were finally shipped. This was given by the Netherlands in the past to establish friendship with him. Although he later turned against the Netherlands, the only two cannons were regarded as treasures by him.

As the infantry captain who guarded the city estimated, the horses had no skill in casting artillery at all!

"Sir, they pushed out two cannons!"

"Impossible! How could a horse have artillery when fighting a blue man?"

The infantry captain was still unbelievable when he heard the observation soldiers report to him. Instead, he personally observed the army of horses hitting the blue men with a telescope. Sure enough, in the telescope, he saw two cannons lined up in front of the formation of horses hitting the blue men.

"It is not necessarily the artillery they produced themselves. Maybe they bought it from where they could or obtained it through other channels. Be careful of their artillery shooting anyway." After learning that the other party had cannons, the infantry captain could not judge the power of the other party's artillery, for fear that the unfinished castle wall would not withstand the bombardment of cannons.

Each cannon has several horse-killing soldiers who are busy loading ammunition, and then the horse-killing gunners are loading.

"Boom down the walls of the hidden pagans!" Ma Dalan Sudan personally ordered the fire.

After the loading of the horse-drawn blue gunner ignited the fuse, and the sparks spread rapidly, detonating the black gunpowder in the gun chamber!

Boom! Boom! Two cannons made violent shelling sounds, smoke filled the air, and the horses beat the blue army made cheers!

When the infantry captain and the soldiers defending the fortress were bent over and hid behind the city wall when they saw the flames, they were ready to bear the bombardment of cannons on the fortress.

However, the expected scene of solid bombs hitting the city wall violently did not appear, and both shells fell on the flat ground outside the fortress.

"Ah?!" The horses were cheering and hitting the blue soldiers, including Sudan himself, their eyes were about to pop out.

Two cannons, facing such an obvious fortress in front, did not hit a single cannon!

Sudan's face turned pale: "Continue firing!"

Because they failed to hit the fortress, the horse beat the blue gunner was afraid of being executed by Sudan, so they had to work harder this time.

However, they lacked shooting experience and rushed to clean the gunboat and reload gunpowder and shells, which took ten minutes!

Boom! Two cannons roared again, but this time they still failed to hit the fortress.

Ma Dalan Sudan's face was no longer as pale as it could be described.

The huge fortress was there and could not move, and it could not hit even four shellings! Didn’t this slap him, the supreme Sudan, in the face in front of the two armies?

"Continue!" The angry Sudan's face twitched, and he had already had murderous intentions.

The horse-drawn blue gunners were sweating profusely. They did not need cannons in the battles of the central, eastern and other indigenous tribes and kingdoms. They only had a few experiences using cannons, and they basically only knew how to load them. Whether they could shoot accurately is not a joke, but they really had to rely entirely on faith!

The next hour, the horse-drawn blue gunner tried to launch several rounds of artillery fire, and finally two or three shells luckily landed on the fortress wall. However, the landing points of the two or three shells were too different, making it difficult to pose a threat to the fortress.

"I'm scared to death. It turns out that their gunners are so bad. Only two or three shells were hit in an hour. We were still unmoved by them for a month." The infantry captain was relieved when he saw the "shocking" artillery technology of the horse-drawn gunner.

There was no problem with the two Dutch guns. The problem was that the technique of using the cannons by horses and blue men seemed so clumsy that it was a waste of resources.
