Wanli 1592

Chapter 358

The two night raids that Narexuan thought did not happen because of an accident. No one thought of this accident, but it happened. As the coach, Min Qide woke up after being in a coma for almost three hours. It was already broad daylight, and it was obviously meaningless to go to the "Night Attack" again. The other party must have been prepared, and with strong hatred, Min Qide recklessly issued the general attack order.

He walked out of the tent, disregarded dissuasion and sat on his war elephant, and continued to patrol the army around the barracks, letting the panicked soldiers see that his prince was still alive and well, and could sit on the war elephant to ask for help. Reviewing the army calmed down the hearts of the soldiers—as long as the commander was safe and sound, the soldiers would naturally regain their courage to fight.

As a result, the morale of the Burmese army, which had fallen sharply, began to pick up significantly.

They began to eat breakfast, recover their strength, and prepare their weapons. Narishon, who was also doing such things, also came to the conclusion that the Burmese army was about to attack on a large scale after learning about the movements of the Burmese army. It doesn't take much effort, there is no other reason to explain their behavior. Of course, Narishon himself will not sit still, he immediately arranges the troops to enter the favorable terrain occupied by each, and after seeing the weather is good, he also fires his artillery. The troops were also arranged on the commanding heights, and the Musketeers were ordered to cooperate at any time.

His firearms unit is far less luxurious than the Ming army, but its combat effectiveness is not weak at all. Facing Narexuan, who occupies a favorable terrain, Min Qide's firearms unit will be somewhat suppressed, because people are condescending and can shoot farther. It is easier to find the target, and Min Qide's counterattack will be limited a little bit, which can buy Narisuan more time.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat Min Qide face to face, but he also knew that as long as he supported the arrival of the Ming army, he could turn the situation around. How to ensure that he would not be killed before the Ming army arrived here was his goal.

Seeing the tired faces of the soldiers, he knew that most of his soldiers were very tired, and they couldn't fall asleep well last night, and they only rested for more than an hour. During the nap time, they would fight again. But considering that the Burmese army couldn't take a good rest last night, everyone was just half-hearted, just hanging on their breath and fighting each other to see who could last better than whom.

The Burmese army assembled into a neat formation and left the barracks. The vanguard of 1 troops under the leadership of the general approached the Siamese army's defense line steadily, and the main force followed the vanguard under the leadership of Min Qide. It was following the main force, supervised by the supervising team, armed with inferior weapons, ready to rush forward at any time as cannon fodder to clear the way for the elite main force.

The Burmese vanguard army arrived at the periphery of the Siamese army's defense line. The vanguard general Luochai carefully observed the Siamese army's defense line built by the small mound in front, as well as the Siamese soldiers who could be seen faintly. , he dismissed it, waved his sword, and the troops marched forward in a neat formation, gradually approaching the firing range of the Siamese army's artillery. After they entered the attack circle, Narisuan personally commanded the defensive operations Without hesitation, he ordered the artillery to fire.

Boom, boom, more than [-] cannons lifted the camouflage of leaves and branches, fired loudly, and the fiery shells rushed towards the dense phalanx of the Burmese army with an indomitable momentum, and then exploded, killing a large number of Burmese soldiers around them , or solid shells, hit the ground fiercely, set off a wave of heat waves, and overturned a large number of Burmese soldiers around them. Where to go.

artillery?Where are you hiding?Didn't notice it just now?

Luo Cai was startled, and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, the front team turned to the back team, and the back team turned to the front team, retreating a mile to avoid the range of the artillery!
The vanguard without firearms has no ability to resist firearms. If they forcibly advance, they will be hit with heavy casualties by these sudden artillery fires, so it is unnecessary. Fortunately, the range of artillery is limited. As long as you retreat a certain distance, you can won't be shot.

In the face of firearms, it is best to use firearms to deal with firearms. The history of Burmese people playing with firearms is longer than that of Siamese, and the history of mercenaries is longer than that of Siamese. The quantity and quality of firearms are also higher than that of Siamese. , So after the news was reported to Min Qide, Min Qide ordered the artillery team to press up and counterattack those mounds under the protection of the vanguard.

The Burmese and Portuguese shooters, who are proficient in firearms, confidently pushed the artillery to the front line, adjusted their position, and the fifty artillery fired the first shot in unison, without hitting any targets. The first shot was for Measure the distance and shooting angle to lay the foundation for the second shot. Since you know that the opponent is setting up an ambush on those small mounds, you must measure the distance. The artillery is not just talking about it.

Every year, many Portuguese who joined the Burmese army died in the artillery fire of the Spaniards who joined the Siamese army. These people are also full of conflicts, and there are many cases of killing people with knives. When I didn't know the political situation in the West, I didn't know why these "Francoids" who looked exactly the same were merciless when they killed each other.

But in this case, they are really very reliable, very reliable, and trustworthy. When going to war, when firearms are needed, they are also in charge of using them.

The artillery fire started. The artillery of the two sides fired at each other, one side fired upwards, and the other fired downwards. The number of artillery is less than that of the Burmese army. The Burmese army said that it has more than 100 artillery pieces. This time it mobilized [-] artillery pieces to fight against the Siamese army, which has an advantage in number.

On both sides, gunners were constantly killed, artillery was blown up, and other troops suffered from time to time. After a period of confrontation, Narisuan saw that he had only [-] cannons left, and if he continued to fight, he might lose Losing all their money, they ordered the artillery team to withdraw from the battlefield. When the Burmese saw that the Siamese artillery stopped firing, they knew that they could not hold on.

But they couldn't hold it anymore. Artillery is not only expensive, but also expensive to make. It hurts to fight. Seeing that the Siamese stopped fighting, Min Qide quickly ordered the artillery team to withdraw and put the main The shells are kept for future siege operations, so as not to encounter the previous failures when besieging the big city.
