An expeditionary army appeared in the jungle of Java. In front were horses leading the way to fight against the traitors of the Blue Kingdom and mercenaries from Japan. Behind were standing soldiers of the 12th Corps wearing dark green. They had swords and daggers around their waists, muskets, and luggage. There were horses dragging several light field artillery.

This kind of artillery used for jungle and mountain combat is not very powerful, it is just a light 3-pound artillery.

But that's enough! The powerful horse-drawn kingdom located in Java Island only had two cannons given to them by the Dutch people, and their gunner skills were still very unbearable. In addition, the horse-drawn kingdom did not have the ability to build a bastion technology, and the 3-pound gun can easily use kinetic energy to destroy their simple civil fortifications.

In addition to the musketeers, this expeditionary army also had grenades equipped with primitive grenades.

This time, they took an expedition to attack the Blue Kingdom of Madras to attack some ports and siege Batavia!

Huang Degong, the commander of the 12th Corps, personally led the team deep into the jungle!

"This climate is really unbearable, humid and hot, and there are many mosquitoes... If it weren't for revenge on the horse and the Blue Kingdom, it would really make people unable to conquer it." Huang Degong used his hands to disperse the mosquitoes surrounding his head.

In order to prevent mosquito bites in the jungle, their officers and ordinary soldiers were wearing trousers, long sleeves and hats, which made me feel unbearable.

"Several soldiers and mercenaries suffered from malaria. The quinine we brought was effective, but some people were sacrificed... Maybe snakes, insects, rats and ants caused more casualties than combat reductions." The adjutant was also frowning.

The 12th Corps that fought in the Nanyang Ocean may be the most severe corps in the Jiuzhou Army with annual sacrificial staff. These sacrificial staff are mainly caused by tropical diseases, shipwrecks, and wars. Tropical diseases are also the disease that causes the most sacrificial staff, especially for soldiers coming from north of the Yangtze River. It is very difficult to adapt to the climate here.

The expedition forces in the jungle endured the threat of mosquitoes and beasts, and quickly approached the royal city under the leadership of the traitor who fought against the blue man by the horse.

They met the Madalan's cottage along the way, and captured the cottages with little effort and obtained supplies from them.

Although the core territory of the Madalan Kingdom is in the hinterland of Java, it is an important rice production area. A large amount of volcanic ash periodically fertilizes the land, and Java's soil is very fertile.

This is also why the Nanyang Provincial Capital chose to set up the provincial government in Batavia. Java Island can provide food and open a large number of economic plantations. In fact, there are mineral resources such as oil, coal, manganese, iron, and gold.

After Huang Degong led 1,000 soldiers of the 12th Corps and 1,000 Japanese warriors to destroy more than a dozen villages, the Madalan Kingdom finally discovered this group of uninvited guests.

Madalansudan Agong ordered a nationwide mobilization, and the bell rang in the royal city of Kerta. The villagers in the surrounding villages and towns, both men, women, young and old, came to hear the sound, and nearly 300,000 people were gathered near Kerta.

Of course, only a few of them have combat effectiveness. The ones who can really fight are the feudal warriors of the horse fighting against the Blue Kingdom.

They had bows, spears and behind fire door guns, and two cannons that did not work last time were lifted out by Argon Sodan.

There is really no way, they only have these two old cannons, and there are no experts in making cannons, so they cannot produce even one cannon.

300,000 people were crowded here, and they were walking on thin ice waiting for the arrival of the expeditionary force.

The Madalan, located in the heart of the central Java Island, knows only limited knowledge about outsiders. Under the propaganda of Agonsudan, the conquerors from the sea were a group of devils. They burned, killed and looted, which led to the 300,000 Madalan gathered near the royal city being extremely scared. At the same time, they made up their minds to resist to the death.

Finally, the expeditionary force led by Huang Degong came out of the complex tropical rainforest and appeared in the endless fields outside the Madalan King City.

There had been a large army of more than 50,000 horses fighting against the blue people and young men waiting for their work. There were more than 200,000 women, children, and young men behind them. The royal city consisting of low wooden houses, palm houses, thatched huts and bell towers provided them with a steady stream of supplies.

Hundreds of heavy battle elephants lined up, and there were feudal warriors holding fire door guns or bows on the arrow tower on the back of the elephant to demonstrate Sudan's military power!

"I finally walked out of the rain forest, it's really unbearable." Huang Degong looked at his leather military boots covered in mud, and they were actually a little damaged.

Compared to the 50,000 horses arranged in front to fight against the Lan army, Huang Degong and the soldiers he led still felt that it was even more dangerous to leave the jungle.

As for the 50,000 horses fighting the Lan army, the 12th Corps really doesn't care much. The 12th Corps has experienced countless such battles, which time did not defeat the more with less?

A corps has only about 10,000 people. If they want to fight on various islands in Southeast Asia, they cannot maintain so many troops, so the 12th corps is often used as one for ten!

"Captain of the Corps, how should we set up the formation?" asked the adjutant.

"The standard musket line is enough. The two machine guns we brought are placed on the left and right wings." Huang Degong used a telescope to observe the surrounding terrain and found that this was a plain.

On Java Island, which is mainly in the mountains, there are some plains and basins in the middle. These fertile lands provide sufficient food for the Madalan country.

Argonsudan, who ruled this area, was undoubtedly the king of Java. Of course, this was the title before the Chinese replaced the Netherlands to manage Batavia. The main port of Java now fell and was directly ruled by the Nanyang government.

Under Huang Degong's order, two Gatling machine guns were arranged on the left and right sides, and they also brought two light 3-pound field guns.

That's right, there were only 2,000 people, 2 Gatling machine guns and 2 light field guns, which were undoubtedly very shabby firepower configurations in the previous battles of the Jiuzhou Army. However, such a team that did not even carry any heavy weapons dared to go deep into the jungle to attack the royal city of the Blue Kingdom.

"If it weren't for the difficulty of marching in the jungle, I would definitely bring the 12-pound cannon to teach this group of natives." Huang Degong glanced at the other party's formation. The horse beat the blue man used a backward and dense thick and deep square formation. Although there were many people, it was not worth worrying about.

It seems that 50,000 people, but in fact Huang Degong believes that at least 40,000 of them lack combat power, and was led by their Sudan to make up the numbers.

The main force of the horse beat the blue man was the feudal warriors under the feudal lord.

"Destroy them." Huang Degong ordered.
