Wanli 1592

Chapter 352 "Meeting of Old Friends"
The Siamese are not scary, but the Ming army and the Ming Empire behind it are the most serious problems. Min Qide thinks this way, the Ming army is far more terrifying than the Siamese. Although the Siamese can always thwart their attacks, But that was mostly because they took advantage of the geographical advantages in defensive operations. In the field battles of frontal battles, the Siamese were even inferior to them. They were suppressed and beaten, otherwise they would not have been beaten to the capital several times.

It can only be said that that bastard Narisuan is good at defending the city, good at defending, if he really wants to fight face to face, this guy may not be able to beat him, Prince Min Qide.

Therefore, he not only paid attention to the movements of the Siamese, but also the movements of the Ming army, but the intelligence sent back from the front did indeed say that they fought with the Siamese vanguard army, and all the corpses found were Siamese. , there is no corpse of a Han Chinese, and the Han Chinese are not in the vanguard of the Siamese. It is not known where the Han Chinese are, but what is certain is that the Han Chinese army must have come.

The Siamese army and the Burmese army were advancing towards the Korshala area, one south and one north, respectively, where the two feuding armies collided fiercely.

On the morning of August 28, the Siamese army arrived at the Korshala camp first, set up camp first, seized favorable terrain, searched for the enemy everywhere, and checked whether there were Burmese troops in the dense forests and mountains, and finally came to the conclusion that the Burmese had not yet Arriving here, Narexuan breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the army to rectify immediately and prepare for a tough battle, because the number of Burmese people will exceed that of Siamese.

At the same time, he sent a message to the Ming army for the third time, telling the Ming army that he had set up camp in the Kuo Shala area and was ready to fight the Burmese at any time. I hope that the Ming army will speed up as soon as possible.

Of course the Ming army will speed up, and Xiao Ruxun will not just watch Narisuan die, that would be no fun, he has already sealed most of the gunpowder and kept it well, and a small part of the gunpowder is for people to see. Including some cannons, which have been preserved long ago. Who would push hundreds of cannons and follow the army on the dirt road?There were only more than 50 assembled cannons walking along with them, and they were all lightweight medium-sized Franco machine guns. Even the gunpowder bags on the gunmen's bodies were mostly empty bags without gunpowder.

When you go to such a place with heavy humidity, you must pay attention to keeping the gunpowder dry. If the gunpowder is not dry enough, you will not fight a battle. Just like the Battle of Sarhu, it happened to be the second day after it rained. After a while, the gunpowder of the Ming army was damp and unable to fire guns. It was so inefficient to dry the gunpowder with torch before the battle.

Then, when it was finally possible to shoot before the battle, but because of the sudden change in the wind direction, the Ming army musketeers fired one after another. As a result, the smoke drifted towards the Ming army's own position, causing the infantry sword and shield soldiers to lose their vision, and the army formation was destroyed. The Jurchen iron cavalry broke through, and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties.

Xiao Ruxun, who is well aware of the weakness of gunpowder, will naturally not do stupid things, and those musketeers from Spain, Portugal and France who have lived in Siam for many years seem to have been prepared for a long time. The famous plant leaves wrapped his gunpowder bag, so the gunpowder did not get wet. It is estimated that this is also a local secret recipe in Siam, but time is tight, Xiao Ruxun did not ask more, he has his own method.

Xiao Ruxun set off for the Siamese army for a day, and after the sun had scorched the ground for a day, he ordered the army to start dispatching troops. The time was one day and one night late for the Siamese army, and the speed was about one-third slower than the Siamese army. Slow down, in order not to make the "guide" left behind by Narexuan suspicious, they specially made a large number of carts and carts, causing these materials and road conditions to greatly slow down the marching speed of the Ming army.

These "guides" can only be anxious, but they can't say anything.

When Xiao Ruxun was still a day and a half away from the Kuoshala area, the main force of Min Qide's Burmese army had already arrived in the northern part of Kuolasha. Not far from the Narexuan camp, he also set up a camp, posing It was a tit-for-tat look, and then sent a general under his command to lead [-] soldiers to challenge.

Knowing that he could not show weakness, Narexuan also sent his brave generals to fight with three thousand soldiers and horses. First, two generals rode elephants and sat on the backs of elephants to fight each other. Elephants fought against elephants. The people above fought fiercely, and then the general under Naresuan shot and killed General Min Qide, the morale of the Burmese army was depressed, and the Siamese army took advantage of the situation to kill hundreds of people. In embarrassment, they fled back to the camp under the cover of bows, arrows and muskets.

Everyone died. Although Min Qide was very upset, he did not punish the defeated soldiers, but led his own troops to challenge Narisuan.

When the head coach came on, Narexuan couldn't lose his momentum, he had to go, so he also rode his own war elephant and led his troops to meet up with his "old friend" Min Qide for many years. More than ten years have passed since they met in the school of the Royal Palace of Myanmar. During this time, neither of them has forgotten the other.

Min Qide has always felt that there is something secretly helping Nareshin to succeed, otherwise there is no way to explain how he can make the declining Siam strong again.

Mang Yinglong had enough strength to kill Min Qide and his father, but his father was very obedient and submissive, Mang Yinglong had no reason to kill him, and later his father even exchanged his own daughter for his own son, Mang Yinglong Yinglong had no reason to kill him, and Mang Yinglong didn't seem to care about this black boy at all, so Narisuan was very lucky to survive under Mang Yinglong's hands.

Because of Min Qide's reminder, Mang Yingli paid more attention to Narexuan, was very wary of Narexuan, and wanted to kill Narexuan more than once, but that feeling was definitely not as strong as Min Qide's. Ruixuan provoked Min Qide and made him unhappy, and Mang Yingli had no time to take care of these things, and later he fought with the Ming army and got burned, so this matter was shelved.

It wasn't until Narexuan's wings hardened that he set up an anti-flag and called everyone to resist Mang Yingli's rule. Only then did Mang Yingli truly realize the danger of Narexuan. He had the upper hand, but he just couldn't kill Narexuan completely. During the most serious siege of thirteen months, he failed to kill Narexuan, and Mang Yingli paid a heavy price for it.
