Chapter 360 The Death of Luochai

Min Qide was wrong, Narexuan didn't have the heart to laugh at him now, facing oppression with more than twice his own troops, Narexuan was very clear-headed, he knew that Min Qide was not easy to fool, it was good luck to fool him once, and the second time But there is no such good luck. It still depends on strength. Fortunately, the second line of defense is a dense forest. It has just rained and is wet. It is very suitable for trapping and delaying the attack of the army, and continue to buy time.

The main force in the rear was preparing for a defensive counterattack in the camp. Narisuan himself set up an ambush in the dense forest with two or three thousand elites, preparing to stop Min Qide's army. In the dense forest, whether on the ground or in the trees, there were soldiers announced by Narisuan everywhere. Absolutely not to ask Min Qide's main force to pass through here smoothly, this is a very important place of life and death, if Min Qide breaks through easily, then Narexuan's level is too low.

Standing on a big tree and looking into the distance, Narisuan looked at the black Burmese army with a solemn expression. Those troops were not just for fun, nor were they handy soldiers. They were the Burmese who relied on them to dominate Southeast Asia. Compared with the army under Narexuan's command, the elite of hundreds of battles is more heroic and good at fighting. If it is not relying on geographical advantages and tactics to fight face-to-face field battles, Narexuan would have been killed long ago.

But the reason why war is full of variables is that those who lead the war will use various tactics to make up for the lack of strength. The art of war has appeared all over the world, but China's art of war is particularly famous, with many books and lectures, and it has even become a kind of knowledge, a system, and even a philosophical thought.

The earliest art of war was based on the premise of rushing and fighting, and was sorted out through the accumulation of experience. This simple method of accumulating experience is also the only way for masters of art of war who cannot use scientific theories to guide their research. Narishon may not understand the meaning of the art of war, but there is no doubt that everything he has done is the practice of the art of war.

When choosing a place to garrison, he took a fancy to the area blocked by a circle of hills and a dense forest, and specially ordered a group of soldiers to station on the hill, pushing the direction of Min Qide's barracks to the north. This favorable terrain was used as his barrier, and he used these barriers to delay the time when the war started, and waited for the Ming army to arrive, and then went out together to give the Burmese a good look.

But the Ming army has not yet arrived, so they can only rely on themselves.

In the distance, Min Qide's main force is slowly approaching. Before the main force, the powerful vanguard is rapidly approaching. Before reaching the dense forest, Luochai has already seen some military facilities at the front of the dense forest, and some Siamese gunners. These Siamese gunners didn't talk about timing or rules at all. They fired when they saw them, and after killing them and causing some confusion, they retreated and disappeared without a trace.

Luochai was very angry and wanted to mobilize the artillery to fight back, but when he looked again with wide eyes, he couldn't see any Siamese in the dense forest. Of course you can shoot in such a large forest, but you always have to point the direction. ?The gunners looked at Luochai, but Luochai couldn't say a word. In the end, he was so angry that he ordered the gunner to leave. He personally led troops into the dense forest to kill the Siamese!
Team after team of soldiers lined up and moved forward quickly with spears and knives. As a result, when they got close to the dense forest, several rows of Siamese musketeers suddenly appeared from nowhere, and they started shooting , The densely packed Burmese people were caught off guard, and they were shot and fell to the ground to die or howled. Caught off guard, the queue that had just been organized was messed up again.

During the chaos, Luochai was hit by a lead bullet in his left arm, causing him to cry out in pain and bleeding profusely. After finally stopping the bleeding, Luochai ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and asked him to see a military doctor, but insisted on leading troops to attack .

"The prince entrusted me with such a task. I made mistakes several times in a row. If I continue to make mistakes, what face do I have to go back to see the prince? I might as well die here! Give it to me!!"

Luochai was determined not to retreat. His courage inspired the soldiers here. The soldiers regained their morale, rearranged their ranks, and charged forward step by step. The archers also fired arrows from behind. After shooting again, they hurriedly ran into the dense forest, and a few people were unlucky and fell to the ground and died.

The defense in front of the dense forest came to an end. Lochai commanded the troops to destroy all the obstacles placed by the Siamese in front of the dense forest, and then divided the troops into three teams, and marched along the three main forest roads, not far from each other. It can be clearly seen that Luochai is in the middle team and directs the overall situation. In order to prevent possible attacks, Luochai directly ordered the archers and musketeers to stand on both sides of the melee infantry, ready to launch a counterattack against the attacking Siamese soldiers at any time.

His preparations were correct, for countless Siamese soldiers were crouching in the branches of these leafy trees, preparing for a surprise attack on the invading Burmese.

From the first gunshot and the first arrow shot down, there have been continuous gunshots and arrows shot down, each time killing a Burmese soldier, but when the Burmese panicked and prepared to fight back, But no matter what, there was no target to fight back. It was the end of summer, and it was the time when the big trees were in full bloom. The dense leaves blocked the sight of the Burmese, but failed to stop the sight of the Siamese.

The dense sound of gunfire and the shooting of arrows prevented the Burmese from successfully judging the location of the Siamese. They watched soldiers being killed one by one, but the Burmese could not fight back effectively and could only shoot blindly. , but did not kill the Siamese at all, and could not find the specific location of the Siamese.

Luochai was so anxious that he realized that the will of the army would collapse if it continued like this, and the team would all flee, and it would be over. In a rage, he directly ordered the troops to shoot indiscriminately and fiercely at the tree above his head. Regardless of whether you can hit it or not, shoot me hard.

After the musketeers and archers got the order, they started to fight back crazily. Although the efficiency was not high, there were a large number of people, and the firepower was intensive and fierce. As a result, Siamese soldiers who could not escape were shot to death constantly, and Siamese soldiers continued to follow The fall from the tree greatly boosted the morale of the Burmese. However, such an attack further concealed the existence of the Siamese. They began to beat the officers exclusively according to Narexuan's order.
