Dutch mercenaries are a relatively good category of people in the Dutch Republic.

Most people in Europe, they generally eat brown bread, which is made of wheat bran and flour, and the taste is worse than brown rice.

Even then, they eat two meals a day.

The Dutch mercenaries in front of them, they eat two meals a day, at least they eat white bread.

In order to cater to the Dutch mercenaries, Nagasaki's general Aso Kojiro had his soldiers and the people of the city eat bread with him.

They only have breakfast and evening every day, and basically do not eat at noon.

Greensden, as the chief general of the mercenaries, also had two meals a day.

Laugh at~

Greensden lit a cigarette with a match.

"The cigarettes of the Daming Empire are two hundred yuan a pack, and I heard that their Daming people are only two yuan a pack."

Kojiro Aso took the cigarette that Greensden handed him.

"General Greensden, these cigarettes are a luxury in our country."

"In the past, my guards saved some money a month and could buy a pack of cigarettes produced by the Daming Empire, but now the Kingdom of Yin has long been beaten by the Daming, and this cigarette is basically impossible to buy."

"Occasionally take out enemy auxiliaries, and a few packs of cigarettes will be captured!"

Greensden nodded, but his heart was anxious.

24 The Ming Empire gave the auxiliary army such good treatment, such good food?

They're really fucking rich.

"The Daming Imperial Court is too rich!"

"This assistant army, I heard that they are all untouchables of the Daming Empire, and this food treatment is much better than the food of the president of our Dutch Republic!"

Aso Kojiro nodded: "Yes, their food has surpassed all the daimyos of our Tokugawa shogunate!" "

"The food of the Tokugawa shogun shogun is still not as good as the auxiliary army composed of Daimyo pariahs."

Greensden sighed helplessly.

Five thousand mercenaries, after eliminating almost fifty thousand auxiliary troops in a row, became more and more suspicious of life.

Because the combat effectiveness of these auxiliary forces is so weak, and the food treatment is still so good, they are very unbalanced in their hearts.

Even some mercenaries want to escape to the Daming camp to become pariahs for the Daming Empire.

Aso Kojiro looked at the sad-looking Greenstern.

"General, the Daming Empire is basically sending auxiliary troops to fight now, it is estimated that it wants to consume some of the untouchables!"

"I heard that the assistant army is paid 30 yuan a day, and they usually buy cigarettes and canned food."

"So after you destroy them, you can clean the battlefield before enemy reinforcements arrive."

Aso Kojiro's reminder made Greensden's eyes shine.

"Why didn't you say it earlier, then we missed a lot of things before!"

"All the Dutch mercenaries are out, go out of the city to find an assistant in the decisive battle."

Greensden left Nagasaki with 5,000 mercenaries, and Aso Kojiro arranged for Hosokawa Shimato to lead 10,000 troops to follow the mercenaries to pick up bargains.

Huang Taiji kept retreating with the auxiliary army, anyway, his purpose was to consume the auxiliary army.

The previous 150,000, plus his own 10,000, consumed another 30,000, and now there are only 120,000 assistant troops and his own 10,000 eight-banner assistance army.

"Ao Bai, the task given to us by His Majesty is to consume the 200,000 auxiliary troops he led, and now he has consumed 80,000."

"Now that the enemy has left the city, he ordered 120,000 auxiliary troops to launch an attack on the Dutch mercenaries."

Most of the 120,000 Auxiliary Army were Donggu untouchables and Goryeo untouchables, most of whom had been peasants before and had no combat experience at all.

As trumpets and urges sounded, they had to charge the positions of the Dutch mercenaries with long-handled chopping knives.

Of course, their morale is also prone to collapse, often in large routs.

At the time of the rout, Huang Taiji had a reason to take his 10,000 Eight Banners to assist the army in carrying out the task of supervising the army. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

Eight Banners assisted the army, Chongzhen copied a thousand Manchurian bows, which could be used to supervise the battle.

Huang Taiji does not have such a good heart for any assistance army that retreats after the rout, as long as he dares to retreat and dare to rout, he will not hesitate to kill these defeated assistance troops.

The Dutch mercenaries did not expect that they were only about thirty miles out of the city, and the surrounding mountains were full of auxiliary troops charging with long-handled sabers.

The flintlock gunners fired round after round, so that the assistant only dared to lie on the ground.

"This emperor of the Daming Empire doesn't know what to think, is it necessary to die so many assistant troops?"

"They also have to pay pensions when they assist the army to die in battle, I really don't know how much money the Chongzhen Emperor has?" , Hosokawa Shimayu frowned.

Greensden on the side also frowned.

"Then what does the Chongzhen Emperor want? What is the pension for this one assistant? "

"Pension? I heard that two hundred yuan a month has been subsidizing their families for eighteen years. "

"So many? Daming coins have a strong purchasing power in their native countries. "

Hosokawa Shimayu nodded: "Yes, so these auxiliary troops basically did not surrender, because if they surrendered and were killed, they did not have a pension." "

Greensden suddenly realized: "So it is, I will say why they have lost so much, and they are not willing to surrender or retreat!" "

"Dare to be affectionate because of good food treatment, plus military salaries, and pensions."

"If our Dutch mercenaries had such treatment, they would have definitely helped the Daming Empire to fight other European countries long ago."

Hosokawa Shimayu looked confused: "General, aren't you coming to help us?" "

"Yes, I mean if!"

"If the Daming Empire accepts your surrender, will you surrender?"

Hosokawa Shimayu suddenly laughed loudly: "Of course I am willing, the treatment of the Daming Empire Assistance Army is so good, I really want to accept the surrender, I will immediately run over now." "

Before the words of 297 fell, a scout of a Dutch mercenary crawled over with a rolling belt.

"The general is not good, the big auxiliary army cut off our back road back to Nagasaki City."

Grensden gasped: "What? How many people? "

"Thirty thousand assistance troops, and five thousand eight banner assistance troops."

"I heard that the Eight Flags Assistance Army is equipped with Manchurian bows compared to ordinary Assistance Army!"

What the scout said, made Greensden frown.

"Manchurian bow? What is so unusual about the Manchurian bow? "

Hosokawa said in a low voice: "General, the Manchurian bow can shoot people through and nail to the ground at close range. "

"Ordinary longbowmen cannot pull their Manchurian bows."

"Even close range can penetrate plate armor!"

Greensden gasped, although the equipment of the Eight Flags Auxiliary Army was backward, this Manchurian bow seemed to be a relatively advanced bow and arrow.

"Don't panic, a thousand pikemen and two thousand flintlock gunners immediately turned around and opened a way to retreat."

"A thousand pikemen and a thousand flintlock gunners continue to attack the enemy who is attacking head-on."

Greensden patted Hosokawa's shoulder.

"Take your 10,000 horses and assist our army in the frontal battle."

"I personally took the people and horses to open up the retreat."

Greensden held a double-barreled flintlock musket and followed behind the flintlock troops.
