Chapter 519
"Report to His Majesty, our troops are back..."

Just when Matalan's top management was in a state of desperation, the city guard general hurried into the palace and reported the news of the army's return to King Matalan.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing should be a good thing. Finally, there was news from the army, but the general did not show any joy on his face.

"What? What did you say? Our troops are back?"

King Goulart got up and grabbed the general's arm, his eyes widened.

And the members of the Presbyterian Church also looked at the general. They were very nervous, and they didn't know how many people came back.

"Come back, there are about 5000 people. They said that there are more than 2 people behind. The other warriors have already died in Batavia. The loss is heavy!"

"what……"

The king's hand trembled suddenly, and he stared at the general in disbelief.

The 7 horses are almost all the main force in Matalam, and there are less than 2 people left in the city.

Then the soldiers died in battle like this, which really shocked Goulart.

Although it is said that the compulsory conscription can still raise more than [-] yuan, they are all ordinary people.

They have never been on the battlefield, and they are not very useful at critical times, and they will be scattered as soon as they are beaten.

The city guard general Alitong said with certainty:
"Your Majesty, there are really only 5000 people, and they all escaped back. Many of them were wounded. They are all outside the city. I dare not decide to let them enter the city. Please give instructions from His Majesty the King."

Goulart ordered in a rage:
"Quickly, let them in. After they enter the city, first arrest Kun Er for interrogation."

Alitong was taken aback:
"Your Majesty, Kuner..."

The general guarding the city, Ali Tong, was about to say that he had not seen Kun Er, but was interrupted by King Goulart sharply:

"Hurry up, so many people have failed so badly, there must be something tricky, we must investigate and find out."

"This... obeys the order"

General Alitong hesitated for a moment, but still turned around and left after giving the order.

Prime Minister Suha suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, we'd better be careful. In case they are surrendered by Da Ming, is it too dangerous to let them into the city, or..."

"No, just let them into the city. Even if 7 people fail, they won't be able to capture them all. Even if they rebel, there are still 2 people and many people in the city. Don't you worry about 5000 people?"

Suha kindly reminded him, but was interrupted by Goulart's anger again. He didn't believe that the army outside the city would rebel.

Alitong, the general guarding the city, walked out of the palace. Immediately, soldiers came to war horses. He urged the horses to rush to the tower.

As a general who once led troops to fight, he did not agree with Prime Minister Suha's suggestion.

Just kidding, the soldiers are already very hard when they are fighting outside, and they all fight with their lives.

Regardless of victory or defeat, let them enter the city to rest. How can you keep your army outside the city? Wouldn't that chill the hearts of the soldiers?Who is willing to work hard for you next time.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he didn't even look carefully to see if there was Kun Er among the soldiers outside the city, and sent an order directly:
"Come here, pass on the general's order, immediately open the city gate and let the soldiers enter the city."

"Yes"

"Squeaky..."

The soldiers guarding the city gate received the order and immediately opened the gate.

The five thousand Ming Xie troops outside the city were chaotic and began to scramble to enter the city.

As a result, they were in a mess at the gate of the city, and they could have entered the city smoothly, but now, it will be impossible to enter the city for a while.

The general defending the city frowned, but didn't say anything. It's normal for a defeated army to become like this.

They escaped from the battlefield and returned with their lives. Who doesn't want to see their family members as soon as possible!

"Da da da……"

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and a cavalry quickly killed from a distance, and the Daming dragon flag fluttered high in the wind.

"Look, general, it seems that the cavalry of the Ming army came over."

Of course, Alitong also saw the cavalry rushing, and hurriedly shouted:

"I can't control the soldiers outside the city, close the city gate quickly..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"Pfft..."

Why close the city gate, the Ming Xie army is crowded at the city gate, and the Ma Dalan soldiers guarding the city gate have been shot dead by the Ming Xie army.

It turned out that the Ming Xie army huddled together at the city gate for a purpose. They just wanted to take the opportunity to control the city gate and then welcome the arrival of the Ming army.

"General, the city gate can't be closed at all. The soldiers guarding the city gate have been killed by them. It seems that these soldiers have really rebelled."

A soldier stumbled and ran up to the top of the wall to report. The general almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly issued an order:

"Hurry up, order the soldiers to assemble urgently and take back the city gate immediately, otherwise the kingdom of Mataram will be destroyed by these rebels."

"Yes"

Soon, the general gathered all the soldiers on the top of the city, and the city gate was controlled by the Ming army.

All the cavalry came from outside, and they couldn't attack the city at all. It was meaningless to defend the city now, so it was better to take back the city gate.

The Ma Dalan soldiers guarding the city gate were killed, and the Ming Xie army successfully seized the city gate, and the Ming Xie army also began to enter the city in mighty fashion.

Under the leadership of Qianhu and Baihu, the Ming Xie army who entered the city quickly returned to the team and quickly formed a battle formation.

They knew that Mataram soldiers would come to clear them soon.

Sure enough, as they expected, they soon saw that about 1 Matalan soldiers rushed towards them, and more than 1 swords and guns were shining brightly.

Without saying a word, the soldiers in the city, under the command of Alitong, swung their swords and charged at the Ming Xie army.

When they rushed to about [-] paces, the Ming Xie Army was ready to fight.

Most of the Ming Xie army was very good, and they pointed their flintlock guns at the Matalan soldiers.

As long as someone dared to step into the range of the flintlock, they would not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Ali Tong, the general who defended the city, had fire in his eyes, wishing he could kill all the five thousand rebels.

So he began to encourage the Matalan soldiers loudly:

"Brothers, don't be afraid. Those soldiers in front are Mataram traitors. They betrayed the country, family and friends. They rushed to kill them, and rewarded a gold coin by beheading each of them."

"Come on, kill these shameless traitors."

Ma Dalan soldiers screamed strangely, and rushed to the front of the Ming Xie army like crazy.

"Bang bang bang..."

Suddenly there were several gunshots, and the Arima Army was under too much pressure, so they hurriedly raised their guns and fired.

At such a long distance, they couldn't hit the Matalan soldiers at all, which violated military discipline.

Qianhu, the Ming army who led them, was furious, and raised their guns to kill the three people who had just shot.

Seeing the Ming Xiejun shooting indiscriminately, Li Qi shouted loudly:

"Don't be nervous, don't shoot at will, why do you still ignore my words.

The supervisory team is ready, if anyone is found to have shot privately, they will also be executed on the spot! "

When Li Qi spoke, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Matalan had already rushed 200 meters in front of the Ming Xie army.

The Ming Xiejun looked at Li Qi nervously, waiting for Li Qi's order to shoot at any time.

However, Li Qi still didn't order to shoot. When they reached 120 steps, Li Qi waved his hand:
"shot!"
