Chapter 342 The King's Choice

To be honest, at first Xiao Ruxun didn’t think that Burma would dare to take the initiative to attack, because anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Daming went south to Nanyang to conquer Burma, and he made it clear that he wanted to show Burma a little bit of color and let them know what was going on to anger Daming. As a consequence, by the way, let’s see if we can take advantage of it and destroy Myanmar. Even if it can’t be destroyed, can Myanmar, which has been destroyed by Ming Dynasty, still ride on their heads and dominate them?
Obviously not.

Myanmar, which was already arrogant and domineering and could not be supported, was instantly isolated by the international community and became an international abandoned baby. Everyone moved closer to Daming, giving some money and some supplies. Although it was not much, it was a symbolic meaning, symbolic Everyone is on the side of Da Ming's father, stand firmly in line, and never give up on both ends—Da Ming Daddy, help us get rid of this bad boy from Myanmar, as long as you give us a clear sky and a bright day, we will still be good boys of your father.

On behalf of Daming's father, Xiao Ruxun took over the filial piety from the filial sons, and said that he would definitely deal with this bad boy from Myanmar, or simply wipe it out, so that everyone who wants to be a bad boy should be careful, your father and my legs are still alive When it's not too bad, it's easy to clean up you brats!

With hints like Xiao Ruxun's, the surrounding small countries became happier. The people sent by Mang Yingli to collect taxes were either killed or driven back. Not a single grain of money was taken away, and not one family, but dozens of families planned and planned to resist together.

After finally signing a gentleman's agreement with the southern tribes, the northern army was transferred back, but the food and money in the west could not be obtained, so he had no choice but to follow the old rules, ask the tribe to give generously, and return ten times after defeating the enemy .

Mang Yinglong has done this kind of thing three times, and he has done what he said every time. Mang Yingli has done it once before, and he has done what he said. This is the second time. His people believe in him, so they promised him , took out their own money and food, tightened their belts, and waited for the army to return triumphantly with gold and silver treasures and honors, and get ten times their repayment.

Xiao Ruxun thought that they would stick to the key areas, fortify the walls and clear the country, and not give him and the Siamese allied forces good fruit to eat. In this way, fighting in such terrain, the Ming army and the Siamese army might really get into trouble. I am also a little worried about this, because I really don't know the local terrain, but I didn't expect that this problem has not been solved, so there is no need to solve it, because the problem does not exist.

People took the initiative to kill them.

Still with a so-called 30 soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses do they have in total?About 10,000+ combat soldiers, 10,000+ miscellaneous soldiers, including those who can be mobilized, barely 30, are they all here?Impossible, when the rear is unstable, it is impossible for Mang Yingli to hand over all the soldiers and horses to his son, and he will definitely keep some of them for emergency, so neither the soldiers nor the miscellaneous soldiers will be handed over to Min Qide .

There are too many coming, the rear is unstable, and there are few coming. It means that the meat buns beat the dogs and never return. Their active attack must not be to test the strength of the Ming army and the Siamese army. In that case, it is unnecessary to claim 30. The fact that the coalition forces sent troops before launching an offensive must be based on the idea of ​​winning the battle to save the situation and rescue the crisis, and the Ming army spies sent described the Burmese army's lineup as vast and mighty at a glance-these The spies are all professional spies, and they know what it means to be an army of hundreds of thousands of people.

The spy himself estimated that the opponent had at least 8 or [-] people. As for what he couldn't see, that's another matter. In summary, Xiao Ruxun felt that the Burmese army must have brought enough troops to fight the Siamese army of the Ming army. , and the strategic purpose must be to defeat at least a part of the Ming army and the Siamese army, and restore Myanmar's crisis in public opinion, so as to prevent Myanmar from falling into a more isolated and helpless situation.

Xiao Ruxun still doesn't know Mang Yingli and Min Qide very well, and he doesn't know what kind of mood they came here, but his other predictions are correct, such as the approximate number of soldiers in the Burmese army.

The subsequent news made Xiao Ruxun gradually doubt his own judgment. He felt that the Burmese might not just come here to restore public opinion.

On August [-]rd, a battle report was sent back to Ayutthaya. It said that part of the Burmese army broke into the border and conquered Mae Sot, an important border town. Part of the defenders have been defeated, and Ban Bangshan is in a hurry.

On August [-], the battle report stated that Ban Bang San had fallen.

On August [-], there was a battle report saying that Dafu had fallen.

On August [-]th, the battle report stated that the Burmese army of [-] troops went eastward without stopping. They defeated the attacks of many small troops along the way. , King Narisuan couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately announced his troops to prepare for war, ready to go north at any time, and contacted Xiao Ruxun, asking the Ming army to attack together.

Xiao Ruxun looked at the map and looked all the way to the east where the Burmese army was marching, and saw a more obvious mark.

"My lord, where is this place?"

Xiao Ruxun pointed to a marker on the map.

"Here, this is Phitsanulok Mansion. It is the place where Xiao Wang was born and grew up. It is a very rich place."

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and said: "That's right, the Burmese army's goal is here. The Burmese army probably wants to occupy this place, destroy the king's hometown, suppress the king's prestige and confidence, and strengthen their own morale. Moreover, Probably also have the idea of ​​seizing food and grass."

"what?!"

King Naresuan carefully observed the map, and was surprised to find that the Burmese army's marching route was indeed going straight east to Phitsanulok Mansion, which was his hometown, where his supporters and reputation were the highest, Phitsanulok If it is captured and burned, it will put King Narexuan in an extremely disadvantageous situation politically. As for seizing food and grass...

"Dongwu Kingdom is isolated by other countries, and all countries regard Daming as orthodox, and refuse to provide Dongwu Kingdom with more food, grass and money. There are many wars in the country, and there are many rebels. Mang Yingli is full of war and does not think about production. After losing everything, where is the money and food that can support 10,000+ troops for a long-term battle? I predict that they must not have much money and food. The reason why they marched so urgently must be to get food and grass, and to blow our confidence by the way.

Peng Shiluo's mansion is also the king's hometown, and it must be rich. While obtaining the money and food from the rich land for his own use, he suppressed the king's prestige and put the king in an unrighteous situation. When the king leads the army to gallop, his army has already rested and has high morale, while the king is exhausted, and the outcome of the war is clear. These people's abacus It was really loud! "
