At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

News that Bai Wenxuan had defeated the Burmese army quickly spread to Ava.

King Mangdala of Burma was shocked and immediately ordered his brother Mangbai to lead an army of 100,000 to stop the Ming army.

Mangbai was ordered to go out and led the reinforcements to quickly advance to join the retreating Burmese army on the front line.

These defeated soldiers who had gathered were already in disarray. They were frightened and did not dare to fight against the Ming army again.

However, the commander of the Burmese army, Mang Bai, was arrogant. When he learned that Bai Wen's selected troops had only a few tens of thousands of soldiers.

He simply did not believe that his 100,000-strong army could not defeat Bai Wenxuan's mere 10,000 remaining defeated generals.

So he immediately killed two generals who were afraid of the enemy and were timid to fight, to boost the morale of the army.

Seeing this situation, the other Burmese generals had no choice but to brace themselves and prepare for a decisive battle with Bai Wenxuan.

Two days later, Mang Bai and others came to Bai Wen Selection Department.

After carefully observing the Ming army, he was overjoyed.

"The Han people are shapeless, but there are not many of them, so why should we be afraid!"

That night, he immediately selected 10,000 elite Burmese troops and prepared to rob the camp and kill Bai Wenxuan in one fell swoop.

At midnight, the Burmese army, led by Mang Bai, quietly moved towards the Ming army camp without lighting torches.

Then when they entered the camp, they found that there were only a few guards in the camp.

Mang Bai was shocked and quickly ordered a retreat.

But when Bai Wenxuan gave an order, fire suddenly broke out, arrows rained down, and a large number of Ming troops came from the darkness to kill.

The Burmese army suddenly fell into chaos and ran for their lives, but were defeated by the Ming army.

Mang Bai barely escaped with the help of reinforcements.

The next day, Mang Bai was unconvinced and led the main force of the Burmese army out of the camp, hoping to fight Bai Wenxuan to the death.

I saw the Burmese army all over the mountains and plains, using war elephants as the vanguard, to kill the Ming army.

Bai Wenxuan remained calm in the face of danger and ordered a concentration of firearms.

When the Burmese army's war elephants approached, they all opened fire.

The soldiers were also ordered to throw kerosene and other flammable objects.

For a time, the Burmese army's war elephants were in chaos. Many elephants turned around and fled after being frightened, trampling to death a large number of Burmese soldiers.

After breaking the Burmese army's war elephant, Bai Wenxuan deployed his cavalry to attack in a roundabout way.

He personally went into battle and led the Ming army to launch a general offensive.

When night fell, the corpses of 100,000 Burmese soldiers lay scattered across the fields, and blood flowed into rivers. They were defeated by a mere 10,000 Ming army.

These veterans of the Western Camp who survived the anti-Qing battlefield were like real heavenly soldiers in front of the Burmese army, unstoppable.

After defeating the main force of the Burmese army, Bai Wenxuan led his army to continue advancing, heading straight to the city of Ava.

Mang Bai fled in panic with the remaining defeated generals.

After returning to Ava, he talked about the power of the Ming army in a more embellished way.

After hearing the battle, King Mangtala of Myanmar was stunned and his face was full of disbelief.

He said to the ministers on his left and right with a mournful face: "Could this Ming army be made up of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals? From crossing the river in the south to this point, my army of hundreds of thousands could not stop a mere ten thousand tired troops!"

"It is true that we and other foreign vassals cannot spy on this dynasty! How can we still fight this war now that things have happened?"

For a while, the Burmese ministers were silent, and they all looked downcast.

They originally thought that Yunnan had been occupied by Wu Sangui, Yongli had also fled to Ava, and the officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty were even more ugly.

Under such circumstances, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan's remaining defeated generals should not be a cause for concern.

Who would have thought that in a real fight, the Ming army would be invincible if it numbered less than 10,000!

The 100,000-strong army of our great Burma was defeated by a mere 10,000-odd Ming army!

When the ministers thought of this, they looked at each other in silence.

After a long time, someone timidly suggested: "Your Majesty, it is better to return Emperor Yongli to Bai Wenxuan and let the Ming army withdraw as soon as possible."

"That's right, the troops of the Celestial Empire are invincible. If we don't return Yongli, I'm afraid our country will be destroyed!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the ministers were directly frightened by Bai Wenxuan, and they all agreed with these suggestions.

"Confused!" Burmese King Mangdala angrily yelled: "The Ming people invaded my land and killed my people. If I hand over Yongli, I'm afraid they will no longer be afraid!"

"If Bai Wenxuan has malicious intentions and refuses to withdraw his troops even after welcoming back Yongli, and forcibly captures Ava, what should I do?"

As soon as these words came out, the hair on the hair of the Myanmar ministers stood up and they all reacted.

At present, the main force of the Burmese army has been defeated by Bai Wenxuan. If he hands over Yongli again when he is timid, he may be even more underestimated by Bai Wenxuan and become even more unscrupulous.

But Yunnan has been lost, and the Ming Dynasty is already a burning ember.

Only the troops of Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others were still holding on.

Under such circumstances, Li Bai and He might not have planned to occupy Nestle with He, seize Myanmar as a base, and then counterattack Yunnan and restore the rivers and mountains.

If Yongli is handed over, Bai Wenxuan will be even more unscrupulous.

Then Myanmar will be in real danger of national subjugation!

When they thought of this, Mangdala and his ministers felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and their hair stood on end.

Can't hand it over! Can't hand it over! Once this eternal calendar is handed over.

There is absolutely no bargaining chip in their hands!

If we hold on to Yongli and let the Ming army throw a rat weapon, maybe the situation will change.

"Pass the message, soldiers and horses from all over the country will quickly return to support Ava! We must not show our cowardice, otherwise we will die without a burial place!"

Mang Dala gave the order and prepared to fight Bai Wenxuan to the end.

While the Burmese king was mobilizing the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the country, Bai Wenxuan's troops had already arrived at the city of Ava, and sent an envoy to send a letter expressing his intention to welcome Emperor Yongli back.

However, Myanmar did not respond for a long time.

Bai Wenxuan was furious and immediately prepared his troops to attack the city.

Upon seeing this, Mangdala quickly sent troops to Yongli's residence to force him to write a withdrawal edict.

At this time, Mu Tianbo, Wang Qilong, Deng Kai and others were also preparing to contact Bai Wenxuan to escort Emperor Yongli out of danger.

However, Emperor Yongli was as timid as a mouse and was deeply afraid that the actions of Mu Tianbo and others would offend the Burmese people and lead to military disaster.

During this period, Ma Jixiang had no superiority and humiliated his ministers.

He was afraid that after Bai Wenxuan took over and knew what he had done, he would kill him with one knife.

So they blocked it in every possible way, either openly or covertly.

Under various circumstances, Mu Tianbo and others had no choice but to cease their activities.

Soon the Burmese people proudly obtained the withdrawal edict from Yongli.

And sent an envoy to Bai Wenxuan's army to submit it.

Bai Wenxuan couldn't help but feel angry after seeing Emperor Yongli's edict.

He lamented: "The emperor is so cowardly, how can the ministers and others restore the country? Now that our army is stationed under the city, how dare the Burmese people neglect the emperor!"

"But once our troops withdraw, how will the Burmese treat the Emperor? Could it be that Heaven wants to destroy the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Desheng, Zhang Guoyong and other close associates of Bai Wenxuan also quite agreed, and they all said: "As the saying goes, if you are going to be outside, you will not accept your orders.

"Our army has gone to northern Burma and annihilated tens of thousands of the main force of the Burmese army. Now is the time to attack Huanglong. How can we easily retreat?" "If we return without success, how should we explain to the King of Jin? How to explain to the people of the world?

"In my opinion, ignore the emperor's edict and just attack the city. The Burmese king is at the end of his rope. Our army will soon capture Ava and rescue the emperor!"

When Bai Wenxuan heard this, he was deeply convinced.

He knew in his heart that Yongli was only threatened by the Burmese at this time.

So he said to the envoy: "I absolutely do not believe what you Burmese people say! Go back and tell the Burmese king that if you do not return it to the emperor quickly, when the city of Ava is destroyed, there will be no chickens or dogs left!"

After the envoy returned to the city, Bai Wenxuan immediately ordered the army to prepare for the attack.

In order to gain a breathing space, Mangdala pretended to make a promise to Bai Wenxuan that he would "leave the new city to surrender to the king in three days" and asked the Ming army to withdraw ten miles to show his sincerity.

After listening to Burma's request, Bai Wenxuan thought about the Burmese army's new defeat and its weak troops and horses, so he definitely did not dare to obey the request.

He was also afraid that if he attacked the city rashly, he would cause the Burmese to jump over the wall in a panic, which would cost Yongli his life.

So he ordered the entire army to stop attacking the city and retreat ten miles to show sincerity.

Who would have thought that Mang Dala would use these three days to mobilize the people of the city to strengthen the city wall, and also urgently order the Burmese army from all over the country to respond quickly.

Three days later, Bai Wenxuan found out that he had been deceived and quickly came back with an army to attack the city.

At this time, in the city of Awa, under Mang Dala's propaganda and rewards, the Burmese people were worried that the Ming army would massacre the city after breaking it.

They picked up various farm tools and went to the city to help in the battle. Several Burmese regular troops also took advantage of this gap to enter the city for reinforcements, which greatly boosted the morale of Ava City.

In addition, the walls of Ava were fortified and a concealed trench dug in front of the moat.

The ditch was filled with sharp bamboo sticks and covered with thatch.

On this day, Ming army officers and soldiers came in large numbers carrying ladders and sandbags.

Caught off guard, they stepped on the air and fell into the ditch one after another. There were countless casualties. The originally neat siege team also fell into chaos in an instant.

Seeing this on the city wall, Mang Dala couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the morale of the Burmese army and civilians was also boosted.

Upon seeing this, the Ming army had to fill in the trench under the fire of the Burmese army, and then used the remaining sandbags to fill in the moat.

However, when these Xiying soldiers went to the bottom of the city wall and erected the ladder.

On the city wall, countless thundering rocks, rolling wood, and arrows were thrown down like raindrops.

A large number of elite soldiers died in vain due to the resistance of Myanmar's military and civilians.

When Bai Wenxuan saw this, his heart ached. The soldiers who followed him to Ava were all elite soldiers and strong generals.

These elites were already valuable, and with Yunnan already lost, he had no more sources of troops to replenish.

Of his more than 10,000 troops, every one of his more than 10,000 soldiers would be missing if he dies!

But in order to rescue Yongli, Bai Wenxuan had no choice but to let the blood of these Xiying elites spill in Ava with tears, just like Xiang Yu let his Xichu elites die under the walls of Xingyang and Chenggao 1,800 years ago.

A large number of Xiying elites fought to the death under the city of Awa, and the casualties they paid were already higher than those in the field battle that defeated the main force of the Burmese army.

These elite soldiers and generals can withstand ten in a field battle.

Even in a great victory, the Burmese army lost a hundred people, but the Ming army did not necessarily die a few.

But at this moment, these elite soldiers and generals can only bleed in vain under the fortified city.

As night fell, although the Ming army climbed onto the city wall several times, they were repulsed by the Burmese army.

Bai Wenxuan looked at the densely packed Burmese soldiers and civilians on top of the city with clenched fists.

"Commander, withdraw, these brothers can't all die here!" Zhang Guoyong choked.

Now the Ava city defense has not collapsed, but a large number of Xiying soldiers have died under the city.

If we continue, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to break the city, but these elites will have to die in Ava.

Bai Wenxuan had tears in his eyes and was quite unwilling to do so, but in the end he had to grit his teeth and order: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"

As the sound of ringing gold sounded, the soldiers of the Ming army who were attacking the city rushed back to their formation as if they had been granted amnesty.

In the next few days, Bai Wenxuan contacted Li Dingguo while trying to contact Yongli.

Since he had no food supply, he was unwilling to leave just now.

So the Ming army began to scatter in the towns and villages near Ava, burning, killing, looting, and grabbing food and wages.

This behavior further strengthened the determination of Myanmar's military and civilians to resist.

A long time passed, and Bai Wenxuan was unable to do anything to deal with Ava.

And because reinforcements from King Qin of Burma were constantly approaching.

Moreover, the Shirobu soldiers were increasingly short of food and had to scatter over a wider area to collect food and pay.

Unable to advance and retreat, Bai Wenxuan finally had to order the withdrawal of troops.

Before leaving, he felt unwilling and looked sadly at the city of Ava not far ahead, crying uncontrollably.

Then he took his troops and horses to evacuate Ava, trying to return to Mubang for food.

Just as Bai Wenxuan was withdrawing, Wu Sangui led 70,000 troops and marched southward under the banner of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why we used the banner of our Qing Dynasty was suggested by Hong Chengchou, who was experienced in seeking the country.

"Using the banner of the Ming Dynasty will make the Burmese people fear that China will repeat itself, and will not be willing to hand over the eternal calendar, which will only lead to chaos."

"If the Manchus are used as the banner, the Burmese people will think that China has been unified, and they will not dare to risk the country's subjugation to take in Yongli."

In Kunming, this is what Hong Chengchou told Wu Sangui.

Indeed, if King Pingxi was flying the banner of the Ming Dynasty, the Burmese people would be worried about repeated wars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and I am afraid there would be some trouble.

After all, handing over Yongli would undoubtedly offend the Manchus.

But if Wu Sangui is flying the banner of our Qing Dynasty.

So when he cut off traffic in Yunnan, the Burmese people had no idea what was going on in the country.

I thought that the Qing Dynasty had already unified the world.

Under the banner of a unified dynasty, in Hong Chengchou's view, the Burmese people had no choice but to obediently hand over Yongli.

"You are going to contact the Burmese people as soon as possible. One is to pick up Yongli, and the other is to kill the ministers. One of them is indispensable!" In the big tent, Wu Sangui sent his envoy.

"Your Majesty, killing all the ministers of the imperial court is too much," counselor Wang Shirong said unbearably.

"I am not Sun Kewang, and this is also the teacher's suggestion." Wu Sangui sighed:

"Those ministers around the emperor have always been eating in plain clothes and have no self-awareness!"

"It's okay if we spend some money and food to support them. I'm afraid An Long's incident will happen again and I will become the second Sun Kewang!"

"Sun Kewang can get up after falling once. I'm afraid Wu Sangui won't be so lucky."

The virtues of the people in the Yongli court are well known to everyone, and they don't know what words to use to describe them.

Wu Sangui planned to use the emperor to control the princes and become the second grandson Ke Wang.

It's just that the old example of Sun Guozhu is shocking.

If they don't kill all the ministers around Yongli, I'm afraid they will issue a second secret edict and let Wu Sangui become the second Sun Kewang!

Therefore, Hong Chengchou, an old fox, suggested using the hands of the Burmese to cleanse the Yongli court and make Yongli a real loner.

As a result, even if he wanted to issue an imperial edict, there would be no one around him to help him organize it.

Moreover, the Gungun princes around the emperor were lying in plain sight and occupying high positions.

It was a waste of money and food, difficult to arrange, and blocked the progress of Wu Sangui's confidants.

So King Pingxi thought about it and finally decided to follow Hong Chengchou's wishes.

Kill all these people to avoid any trouble in the future! (End of chapter)
