Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 500

"Woooooo-"

In the early morning, as the fire smoke dissipated, the plain after the fire was in a mess. The rice fields that were enough to feed thousands of people had turned into dusty fly ash, and the forests connecting the plain had also turned into rotten wood and dead branches, like dark monsters. stand there.

The once grassy ground was burned to ashes, the once gurgling stream had dried up without water drops, and the once blue sky had turned gray and black.

Under the dreary sky, the soldiers of the Ming and Burmese armies all had red eyes and bloodshot eyes, which was a sign that they had not rested well.

"Captain, brothers can't bear it anymore, get rid of this group of guys earlier, and then find a place to rest."

On the dry and cracked road, the commander of the Longjiang Guard couldn't help but come forward to make suggestions, which is enough to see how much resentment the soldiers below have.

Huang Fei glanced at him, then looked around.

He could clearly feel that the anger of the generals and soldiers around him was being artificially suppressed by them.

When there is anger, there needs to be release, and release requires an object.

As for the target... Huang Fei looked at the Burmese army who had besieged them on the thousands of acres of arable land.

The dense Burmese army surrounded them, more than [-] people, Huang Fei looked around him, two hundred Tang cavalry, six thousand riflemen, and one thousand horses that had been untied from the baggage cart.

"Let the brothers who are good at riding in the army stand at the end, and wait to chase down the defeated army."

"Yes!" Hearing what Huang Fei said, the Commander of Longjiang Guard gained confidence, and after he bowed and retreated, he began to select some brothers from the army.

Although they are all navy, the navy also has riding training, so it is not difficult to find soldiers with good riding skills.

Some soldiers slept on the hard ground all night, their backs were sore, and they were not in a good mood, so they could all hold their breath at this moment, and prepared to use the heads of the Burmese army to extinguish the fire.

The changes in the Ming army were seen by the Burmese army. Maung Ki was also a little apprehensive about this. After all, Huang Fei wiped out more than 7 people in Sutai in Qinshan, while he only had 6 here.

"When will Pindarius arrive?"

Maung Ki turned his head and asked the minister, who responded unhurriedly: "According to our reports, there should be three more hours."

"Three hours..." Maung Ki murmured, but at the same time the Ming army also moved.

In front of the Burmese army, some soldiers of the Ming army began to collect some charcoal from the surroundings, gathered the charcoal in the team, and then grandiosely started... cooking under the eyes of the Burmese army.

"Bastard!"

Looking at the Ming army who did not regard him as a threat, although Maung Ki was glad that the other party did not attack, Huang Fei's actions made him feel humiliated.

"Captain, isn't this too humiliating?"

In the Ming army formation, thousands of households around Huang Fei couldn't help laughing at Maung Ji, but Huang Fei sneered:
"If you don't provoke him, how can we deal with them?" As he said, Huang Fei looked at the sky and the black clouds of fire and smoke gradually dissipating. He turned his eyes back to the Burmese army.

"Their reinforcements should arrive soon. It's about 180 miles from Binya. If you travel lightly and set off from yesterday or the night before, then you have traveled at least [-] miles by now."

"It's about 120 miles away from us. In the case of a forced march, four or five hours is enough."

Huang Fei analyzed the situation, and the commander of the Longjiang Guard who was returning next to him asked, "Do you want them to join forces?"

"Join the army? Of course not." Huang Fei twisted his uncomfortable neck, thinking that he had slept on the scooter all night, and he couldn't help getting angry.

"Tell the brothers, after breakfast, we will clean up this group of Dongwu barbarians!"

"The last general takes orders!" The commander of the Longjiang Guard responded, so within half an hour, the soldiers of the Ming army drank bowls of boiled sweet porridge from the military rations.

As the governor, Huang Fei often led troops to attack local rebellious natives, so sugar was always prepared during the march.

As sugar is one of the few strategic materials accessible to the common people, it is very easy for Huang Fei to collect it.

For this march, he brought only one hundred catties of sugar, and his original intention was to let his brothers eat some sweets before attacking Miaodang City.

Unexpectedly, Maung Ki delivered it to the door himself.

Thinking of this, Huang Fei speeded up his porridge drinking.

Not only him, but other generals and soldiers of the Ming army also suppressed their anger and finished the bowl of sweet porridge when they heard the news.

When the porridge was finished, Huang Fei also wiped his mouth, then pulled out the waist knife at his waist and blew the wooden whistle.

"Beep--"

"coming!"

During the battle, after hearing the familiar whistle of the Ming army, Maung Ki silently put down the wooden bowl containing the meat in his hand, got up and walked to a temporary high wooden platform.

He began to observe the actions of the Ming army with the binoculars, and saw that the Ming army was constantly rushing towards Wang Yu.

In the narrow binoculars lens, the Ming army's military appearance was rigorous and murderous, which made Maung Ki even a little bit timid.

If this is the case for a king, let alone the people below.

As the Ming army approached step by step, the generals of the Burmese army and the soldiers responsible for surrounding them were under great pressure.

They watched helplessly as the Ming army approached them from the road one mile away. They stepped across the dry and cracked fields, carrying unknown firecrackers, and walked towards them step by step.

"Beep--"

"stop!"

Soon, when the wooden whistle sounded and the semaphore in the hands of the small flag officer was waving, the six thousand Ming army stopped ten miles away from the Burmese army. The inferior number of people and more than 200 Burmese troops confronted each other.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides has long been ignited, and for them, war is imminent.

"Let them take the initiative to attack, and everyone hides behind the earthen wall."

Seeing the Ming army's military appearance so strict and murderous, Maung Ki squinted his eyes and gave the military order to defend.

The earth wall he was talking about was actually the trench of the Ming army, which belonged to the small mound where the silt was pumped out and piled up on the side facing the Ming army.

But even so, this is the only tactic that the Burmese army can find to understand the power of the Ming army's rifles while ensuring that its own casualties are not large.

Maung Ki didn't foolishly use the lives of soldiers to test him out. After all, he still has more than 7 civilians out of 3.

Once Min Yong sees that the situation is not good, even if his Wang banner is inserted here, it will not prevent them from escaping.

"Free fire, beep beep—"

When the distance between the Ming and Burmese armies was still [-] steps, and the Burmese army was thinking about how to defend, the soldiers of the Ming army had already raised their flags and whistled under the waving flags and whistles of the hundreds of households, the general flag, and the small flag officers. rifle.

"What are they going to do? Fire the guns? But there are two hundred steps away, and it's impossible for their guns to..."

"Bang bang bang-"

In the early morning of the 12th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Tianqi, when the crisp gunshots began to ring out incessantly, the scorched fields were instantly shrouded in white smoke, only Huang Fei's big flag and the Ming army's flags were still standing. Fluttering.

"Uh!"

"Bam—"

The bullets that came out of their chests flew, forming a dense barrage. At a distance of [-] steps, many soldiers of the Burmese army were pierced through their heads, chests, and entire bodies by the bullets without even seeing the appearance of the Ming army. The person softened for a moment, as if he was exhausted and fell behind the earth embankment.

Numbness in the scalp...

"Beat the drums, the whole army will attack!"

With just one meeting, Maung Ki understood how Su Thai's 7 people were defeated, and he also understood that if he did not attack at this moment, he would have no chance.

Even though they were squatting behind the earth embankment, in places Maung Ki could see with his naked eyes, at least nearly a thousand of his own soldiers fell down.

What kind of concept is this?Even a sharpshooter who has been playing firecrackers for decades can't guarantee that he can knock down one person by firing the firecracker six times, but the Ming army did it, and the probability is much higher than what Maung Ki saw with his naked eyes!
"Bang bang bang-"

Here again, the Ming army's gunshots rang out again, white smoke rose, and the Burmese army was accepting the slaughter of them by the Ming army in a way that they could not see the face of the Ming army.

"Drums! Drums!"

Maung Ki yelled at the drum beating cart behind him like crazy, and even pulled out the Burmese knife from his waist angrily.

At this time, the drummers of the Burmese army, who were frightened by the attacking methods of the Ming army, hurriedly beat the drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Hundreds of drummers beat the drums, and the sound of the drums began to fill the battlefield. Finally, there was a voice belonging to the Burmese army on the plain, and some Burmese generals also came to their senses, drew their swords and shouted to lead the team to the Ming army. .

"Bang bang bang-"

The gunfire did not stop because of their yelling. The smoke on the Ming army's position was so thick that no one could see the target clearly.

Although the Apocalypse XI rifles had already been equipped with a ruler, the soldiers did not need to aim, but directly fired row after row.

The crisp gunshots rang out one after another, and the [-] Burmese army launched an attack from all directions of the Ming army.

This time was different from the bloody battle in Beishan. The Ming army had more rifles and more bullets, but they did not refuse horses, barbed wire, or any fortifications...but so what?

"Bang bang bang-"

It would sound every three or four seconds, and the continuous gunfire broke Maung Ki's nerves. He watched the Burmese army's rolling crowd rush forward, filling the entire battlefield.

Under the pressure, the soldiers and horses of the front team gritted their teeth and charged forward, and the elephants also roared forward, and then the soldiers and horses of the rear team following the front team swooped forward without looking back.

"Come on! Kill him and reward him with ten taels of silver! Kill a Ming soldier and reward him with 100 taels of silver!"

Numerous Burmese generals led their soldiers to boost morale on the battlefield, and many Burmese soldiers who were dazzled by money also charged like crazy.

In the war full of interests, they have become inhuman beasts.

At that moment, they knew nothing about the technological crushing and fighting power of this Ming army.

When they rushed into the distance of a hundred steps against the rain of bullets, this was the first time they saw the face of death clearly...

"Bang bang bang-"

People turned on their backs, war elephants wailed, and the feeling of bullets penetrating their bodies strongly impacted everyone's brains, their arms, legs, chest cavity, neck...

Whether it was the exposed place or the place hidden under the armor, when the bullet hit them, the armor not only failed to protect them, but caused secondary trauma to their bodies.

Those who run straight will also fall straight, and those who are hit will realize that they have been hit immediately.

On the battlefield, shouts of killing, cries for help, and wailing resounded across the field. The hoarse soldiers kept moaning, but they were quickly trampled to death by their comrades swarming up from behind.

Some people watched helplessly as the officer who was shouting to charge the last second was shot dead, and some even saw a living person who was hit in the head, bloody and bloody, and extremely disgusting.

People can only be limited to things within their own perspective. Therefore, even though the Burmese army in the front almost collapsed and could no longer move forward, the Burmese army in the rear was dazzled by the high rewards.

"Behead the first level of the Ming army, reward 200 taels of silver! One hundred acres of land!"

The generals of the Burmese army on the battlefield continued to pass on the military orders issued by King Maung Ki of Toungoo, and the generous rewards made people lose their minds.

"My lord, we can't afford so much money and fields..."

At the back of the battlefield, the more Maung Ki looked at the battlefield, the colder his heart became, but the minister next to him said that he could not afford money and land.

Maung Ki looked at him with red eyes, suppressing his anger: "I know..."

Maung Ji was well aware of Toungoo's strength. For the six thousand Ming troops, not to mention 200 taels, even if there were [-] taels per person, Maung Ji would not be able to pay that much money.

But so what?How many Burmese soldiers can survive after this battle?No one can predict.

Although Maung Ki is not as good as Nurha, Huang Taiji, or even Daishan and Mangurtai, but he can lead Toungoo to become the most powerful country in the Indo-China Peninsula, and he can distribute fields to farmers, which has surpassed many Ruler of Indochina.

What he wants on the battlefield is not a real promise, even a blank check is enough to make the soldiers fight wildly for him, but...

"kill!"

"Bang bang bang-"

The sounds of fighting kept ringing out, and the gunshots seemed to never stop. Maung Ki put all the strength of the Burmese army into his hands as soon as the war started.

Not only the nearly 300 infantry all attacked, but even more than [-] war elephants were all thrown into the battlefield. He did not reserve any strength, just to win.

Six thousand Ming troops raised their rifles and formed a dense firepower network together, like a sickle after autumn, mercilessly harvesting the Burmese soldiers and the frontmost war elephants.

Many war elephants were shot too many and fell down, and many soldiers were overwhelmed on the spot and suffocated to death. However, this was just a small episode on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, some war elephants were wounded but not dead. Just like in the Ming and Mo feudal wars, they ran around and even injured their own people.

However, the soldiers of the Ming army did not stop shooting because of this. On the contrary, the firepower network became more intensive, and they vowed to kill all the war elephants who dared to enter the range.

The soldiers of the Burmese army who controlled the elephants also covered the eyes of the elephants with things as usual, and then manipulated the elephants in a special way to continue to attack the direction of the Ming army.

However, on this flat field, as long as they charge straight, no matter who they are or any creature, there is always only one ending for them, and that is to fall completely.

On the battlefield, the metal storm formed by metal bullets formed a natural protective cover.

In the first 5 minutes of the war, there was still no Burmese army that could penetrate within sixty steps of the Ming army.

The elephant fell head by head, and the Burmese soldiers on the elephant's back were also thrown to the ground severely.

A Burmese soldier who fell down just got up from the ground, and his body was immediately covered by the dense firepower net of the Ming army.

Accompanied by a few "poofs", his body was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.

The war elephants fell in large numbers, and the ordinary Burmese soldiers who followed the war elephants also rushed into the 300-meter range of the Ming army.

puff!puff!puff……

The sound of a large number of bullets penetrating the body sounded incessantly, like harvested wheat.

Burmese soldiers fell down one after another, frightening the Burmese soldiers behind them in an instant.

At this moment, more than half of the war elephant army in front had been shot and killed by the firepower of the Ming army.

The corpses of a large number of war elephants piled up on the road ahead, like a road of death.

Elephants are worthy of being one of the smartest animals except humans, looking at the densely packed corpses of other elephants in front of them.

If someone looks into their eyes, fear can be clearly seen in their eyes.

That's right, the other war elephants who haven't rushed into the range behind are scared!

The extremely humane expression of fear made them make an unexpected but expected move.

The remaining dozens of war elephants turned around almost at the same time, and fled backwards without listening to the manipulation.

No matter how the Burmese army controlling the elephants on their backs manipulates them and blindfolds them, they will only flee in fear in the direction where there is no gunfire.

It is true that war elephants are the ace legions of tropical countries such as South Asia and Southeast Asia, and the power of war elephants is also obvious.

But their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they are too smart compared to other animals such as war horses.

Just as no army in later generations uses the smartest shepherd dogs as military dogs, shepherd dogs can distinguish danger, and so can war elephants.

The fleeing war elephants even broke up many Burmese army formations, trampling many Burmese soldiers to death.

The entire assault formation of the Burmese army was thrown into chaos.

However, the Ming army stopped shooting only after killing all Burmese soldiers and war elephants within the effective range.

The soldiers of the Ming army who stopped shooting looked at the Burmese army in chaos out of range with disdain.

"My king! We..."

When the Burmese army was in turmoil at the front, all the ministers and generals of the Burmese army at the rear were frightened, trying to dissuade Maung Ki, but Maung Ki's face was vermilion, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Originally, when he listened to Fang Tangqi's report, explaining how powerful the army's firearms were, he still didn't believe it.

He always felt that his nearly [-] troops and hundreds of war elephants were capable of fighting against the [-] Ming troops.

But now, when the Ming army's firepower was really displayed in front of him, he realized that not only did those Tangqi not lie, but they underestimated the power of the Ming army's firearms.

Is he, Da Dongyu, about to perish in such an irreversible way in Da Ming's hands?

"No! The war is not over yet, I still have a chance!" Maung Ki looked grim.

"Order the army, continue to attack, who can rush into the formation of the Ming army! I will make him king and give him a fief!"

Seeing that the Ming army was so powerful, so powerful that it made people completely powerless, Maung Ki, who was unwilling to fail, made this unprecedented promise.

King!And give the land!And the requirement is only to be the first to rush into the formation of the Ming army...

"Keep attacking!"

After hearing the reward from the rear, a general of the Burmese army took this opportunity to order the Burmese army to continue to attack.

"kill……"

The war elephants had fled to the rear, and the re-stabilized Toungoo army launched another overwhelming attack.

After all, although they were afraid of the Ming army's muskets, most people did not see clearly the Ming army's offensive methods and what the battlefield ahead was like, so the promise of conferring kings and fiefdoms still made many Burmese soldiers' eyes turn red, looming The color of madness.

Not for the sake of defeating the Ming army, many soldiers of the Burmese army had their brains wide open, only thinking about how to be the first to rush into the Ming army formation.

Soon, some Burmese soldiers rushed to the first row for the first time, but when they rushed to the first row, they only felt a chill from their tailbone to their foreheads.

Thousands of corpses of the Burmese army fell at a distance of fifty or sixty steps away from the Ming army, and they were facing the guns of the Ming army.

"run……"

Some Burmese troops who reacted immediately wanted to flee back, but the Ming army who ignored their will to survive pulled the trigger again.

"Bang bang bang-"

puff!puff!puff……

Bullets penetrated the bodies of Burmese soldiers, leaving a large number of blood holes on their bodies.

A large number of Burmese soldiers fell, almost sent up to be massacred.

On this battlefield full of corpses, some bullets from the Ming army hit the sky and missed, some hit the ground and hit the corpses, and some directly hit the bodies of Burmese soldiers. , took their lives away.

More than 6 Burmese troops could not bear the huge casualties in the end, and they began to flee in large numbers only in the 9th minute of the war.

"Escape!"

"run!"

"I'm going home! I'm going home!"

The fleeing Burmese army began to flee with a large number of Burmese troops who were at a loss. Maung Ki, who was behind, saw this scene, and his face turned pale.

He understood that he was going to lose...

"Chase!"

"Beep--"

When the fighting will of the Burmese army collapsed and the battlefield order collapsed, Huang Fei decisively ordered the whole army to pursue.

This is the time when the Ming army caused the most casualties to the Burmese army.

Thousands of equestrian-skilled Ming soldiers rode on naive horses and draft horses, and followed two hundred Tang cavalry to chase and kill the defeated Burmese army.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest...

At this moment, when there are continuous routs on the battlefield, Maung Ki's defeat is doomed.

The cruelty of war was vividly reflected at this moment. The entire battalion of soldiers and horses were sent to the battlefield, just like a huge pile of chips, being pushed back and forth on the card table by Huang Fei and Maung Kee.

But when both sides showed their cards, Maung Ki's failure was already doomed.

"My lord, if the green hills are left, there will be no firewood to burn, so let's move out!"

"Protect my king, retreat!"

The generals and senior officials of the Burmese army have no other skills, and they have a keen sense of danger.

As soon as their own side was defeated, they took the pale-faced Maung Ki hostage, and took the [-] soldiers around Maung Ki to start their escape to the south.

They still have 6 horses from Ping Dali, but at this moment they are no longer able to fight the Ming army.

It can be said that their idea of ​​wanting to defend their own interests has been disintegrated when the [-] army was uninjured by the Ming army.

At this moment, they had only one way left, and that was to take Ping Dali's 6 horses and drill into the mountainous area in the west, following the example of Mang Yinglong, Luchuan Dynasty and Houli Dynasty, and fought guerrilla warfare with the Ming army.

When the danger came, the senior officials and generals of the Burmese army did not hesitate to abandon the hundreds of generals who were still trying to organize a counterattack on the battlefield, as well as the [-] to [-] Burmese troops that had already collapsed.

The cavalry of the Ming army began to ride and shoot in a circle, constantly harvesting the collapsed Burmese army.

Due to the fire last night, there was a flat river for several miles around, and the Ming army on horseback could shoot and kill the Burmese army recklessly until they were all killed.

Looking at the battlefield, Huang Fei, who was sitting on horseback, knew very well that the Battle of Burma was over...
