Chapter 366 Attacking Ming Army

Narexuan felt that his luck had probably run out. In the previous war of restoration of the country, history continued to smile at him, allowing him to recover the country with a smile all the way, and became the heroic emperor of the country, but now, it seemed that history suddenly treated him He put away his smiling face and waited for it, as if he had done something wrong, making himself at a loss what to do.

Looking at the soldiers who kept dying in battle in front of him, looking at the soldiers who continued to step forward bravely even if they died in battle, Narishon's heart was bleeding. Many of these soldiers of his own clan followed him from the beginning to the end. The partners who started the war and declared war until now, their own countrymen or followers, they continued to fight and die, and they continued to sprinkle their blood on this land.

The strength and bravery of the enemy had already been expected. Narisuan never dared to underestimate Min Qide, but Min Qide's good fighting still deeply shocked Narisuan. The coach retreated, but took the lead in charging, using his spear to overthrow one after another of the brave Siamese warriors. As if he was in a land of no one, he was not defeated by the siege of the three war elephants, but was killed one by one by him.

It has been almost two hours since the battle started. From morning to afternoon, both Siamese soldiers and Burmese soldiers have exhausted most of their physical strength, but the war is still going on. Fifty thousand elites went up to the top, and the two sides fought desperately in this not-so-wide area. The small hill became a battleground for military strategists. Whoever occupied the small hill would have the high ground and advantage, and could shoot down.

The Siamese musketeers and the Burmese musketeers fought repeatedly to fight for the small mound, and then shot each other on the mound, which brought a blow to the opponent's army. The opponent was not to be outdone, and fought bravely under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers. Rush up the small mound and fight hand-to-hand with the opponent until the hill is regained. Such a small mound has actually become a bloody battlefield of fierce tug-of-war.

After all, the Siamese have few soldiers and horses. Even if they move forward bravely, they cannot offset the advantage brought by the Burmese because of their large number. The fighting space of the Siamese was compressed and compressed again, and the Siamese had already retreated a long distance from the two hours before the start of the battle.

What made Narison feel distressed the most was that when he used artillery to relieve the pressure on the front line, he was suddenly attacked by Burmese elephant soldiers who turned their guns and attacked them. Died under the elephant's hoof, the firepower of the Siamese suddenly weakened, and a big hole was broken through. Narexuan personally led the troops to block it, and fought desperately to stabilize the front line and continue the confrontation.

But how long can such a confrontation last?When will the Ming army who promised to come to support come back?Where is the Ming army now?
he does not know.

He has not been informed of the movements of the Ming army for a whole morning, and the messengers he sent have not come back to report, and the Ming army has no activity at all, and seems to have disappeared completely. Could it be that the army of the Celestial Kingdom is really trying to trick me? Get me wiped out here?What good would it do them if I wiped out all my troops?Are their 20 troops really sure to fight against the [-] people in Myanmar?
It's not scientific, it's not logical.

Narisuan racked his brains and couldn't think of the benefits of the Ming army refusing to save them. If the Ming army would not refuse to save them, then the only reason is that the Ming army hadn't arrived at the battlefield yet, and they were delayed due to something on the way. So it hasn't arrived yet.

But yesterday it was said that it would arrive in one day. What happened to delay the arrival?Could it be that it was blocked by the Burmese army prepared in advance?Very possible!The Burmese also know the surrounding terrain. They have penetrated the territory of Siam countless times. It is absolutely possible for them to go around in front of the Ming army to attack the Ming army and slow down the pace of the Ming army. You know, Min Qide's blackened overnight attack This kind of thing can be done.

Narisuan has no grasp of Min Qide's moral values ​​at all, and face-to-face confrontation is also very limited. If Min Qide not only wants to duel in the front, but also disrupts Narexuan's arrangement from the side, then he is really in danger. Once the [-] elite soldiers are lost, it will be difficult for him to regain his vitality within five years and fight around to recover the motherland. You must know that besides Myanmar, Siam still has many enemies to crusade!
How could it be possible without these elite soldiers?
But seeing the elite soldiers die one by one, losing their lives one by one, all the familiar and unfamiliar lost their lives, how can he let go of it?

No matter how hard he fights, no matter how hard he fights, he can't slow down this trend.

Admiral Xiao, where are you?

As if in response to Narexuan's call, in his field of vision, billows of black smoke suddenly rose in the direction of the Burmese camp, accompanied by bursts of explosions.

This……

With the expansion of the thick smoke and the louder voices, the Burmese and Siamese who were fighting on the battlefield could not help being attracted. Min Qide also turned his head in surprise and looked at He found the position of his camp, where black smoke billowed into the sky, and there were bursts of explosion sounds from time to time, as if tens of thousands of people were calling.

Min Qide's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he saw.

This is not surprising. Under the leadership of Zhao Hu, the cavalry of the Ming army successfully broke into the weakly defended camp of the Burmese. Throw it on the pile, and it will burn up as soon as it is thrown, and then take out the combustion tank containing kerosene, ignite it and throw it on various wooden sheds, and it will also burn up as soon as it is thrown, and there are special cavalry with knives. Galloping around in the big camp, they killed everyone they saw, turning the originally peaceful and peaceful camp into a mess.

If it is still a beginning, then I don’t know when a Ming soldier smashed an incendiary can into the Burmese gunpowder warehouse, it was a big explosion of chaos. An incendiary can smashed in, and there was a loud bang, and the entire gunpowder warehouse It exploded, the sound shook the sky, and the air wave spread to a radius of tens of meters. Even several unlucky Ming army cavalrymen were washed off their horses by the air wave, and the unlucky ones fell directly to death...

Taking this as a sign, the Burmese camp began to be chaotic, and a large number of miscellaneous soldiers realized that this was an excellent opportunity. When the first miscellaneous soldier saw a sword falling at their feet, they Then I realized that the opportunity had come. Many of the Burmese soldiers guarding the arsenal died. opportunity.

Picking up the sword, a large group of people gathered together, staring at the two or three remaining kittens. Those Burmese soldiers who were at a loss were still confused, and suddenly saw a group of miscellaneous soldiers coming up , with a strange expression and fierce eyes, they seemed to understand something.

These miscellaneous soldiers swarmed up, killed the few remaining Burmese soldiers, and then rushed into the arsenal to choose their favorite weapons. They were in groups or killed towards the east or towards the west. They were all reckless. The captives captured in the four expeditions here, they have their own hometown, they don't want to let the Burmese live well, and at the same time they want to go home, so people from the same hometown get together and fight a bloody road together.

There are also some people who have a great hatred of destroying the country and the clan with the Burmese, and finally found a chance to take revenge. Holding bloody swords, they hunted the Burmese everywhere in the camp to kill them, and poured out all the anger that they had suppressed for several years .

Zhao Hu and the cavalry of the Ming army under his command had already found the grain and grass camp of the Burmese army, attacked it and set it on fire. Seeing the blazing fire and the smell of grain, they knew that their goal had been achieved. Without staying any longer, Zhao Hu released a green flare towards the sky, and the green smoke was very conspicuous in the air.

Both Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang saw the smoke, and knew that Zhao Hu's troops had succeeded, the Burmese camp had been destroyed, and the war potential of the Burmese had been completely destroyed. Next, it only took a short moment to clean up the Burmese army. .

The sudden change made both Narisuan and Min Qide stunned. Narisuan's heart suddenly felt ecstatic, while Min Qide's heart was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

What exactly happened here?what's going on?how so?What happened to the camp?
Such questions kept appearing in Min Qide's heart.

He didn't even know what he should do now, he was stunned, he couldn't move for a while, he just felt cold all over his body, and he didn't feel anything at all.

Because of this feeling of ecstasy, Narexuan didn't make any movements for a while, and missed a great opportunity.

But if he missed it, it doesn't mean that the Ming army will miss it too. Xiao Ruxun seized this opportunity and let the artillery move forward quickly under the protection of the sword and shield hands. A hundred artillery pieces were the first to line up. Behind, across the deserted Siamese camp, under the surprised gaze of some Siamese and Spaniards, the Ming army gunners were ready to shoot.

"fire!!!"

The commander gave the order to fire.

A hundred cannons roared in unison, and the heat-laden shells passed over the heads of the Siamese army, fell towards the Burmese army formation at high speed, and then exploded.

The rubble was smashed, the lead flew around, and a large number of Burmese people were dizzy and disoriented by this sudden round of shelling. They were not prepared at all, but this was just the beginning. Next, two rounds, three rounds, and three rounds in a row The shelling destroyed the Burmese army formation in a mess, and even many Siamese were affected, wounded or even killed by lead.

Xiao Ruxun didn't care at all. After three rounds of shooting, the artillery of the first round of shelling retreated, and the artillery of the second round moved forward. There were still a hundred guns. One round, two rounds and three rounds of shelling, and three consecutive rounds, further destroyed the Burmese. The army formation forced the Burmese to instinctively retreat and flee in all directions, and not only humans, but also elephants were frightened. No matter how hard they trained, the instinctive fear was still difficult to deal with. When the shells exploded beside the elephants, the elephants were killed. When lead bullets and stones hit the body, it is difficult not to think crazy.

As a result, the elephant soldiers also began to retreat uncontrollably, trampling indiscriminately regardless of whether they were the enemy or ourselves. To make matters worse, the Burmese army finally collapsed thousands of miles away and began to collapse in an all-round way.

However, it was not over yet. The third round of shelling was ready to go. Xiao Ruxun found that the Burmese began to retreat. Xiao Ruxun ordered the artillery to advance and extend the attack until they reached the back of the Siamese rear army. Under the inexplicable gaze, the gunner stopped and fired, one round, two rounds and three rounds.

After the third round of shelling was over, Xiao Ruxun looked at the situation and realized that the Burmese army no longer had the will to fight. The Ming army's flanking attack caused the Siamese army to retreat, even though the Ming army's artillery did not hit the Burmese at all. The position of the Burmese army, but the retreat of the front army and the middle army has crushed the rear army. Regardless of March 21, [-], the Burmese army has collapsed, and it is no longer a disaster, and there is no need to waste more artillery fire.

Xiao Ruxun gave the order for the army to fight hand-to-hand, the drums rumbled, and the Ming army immediately formed a large array of firearms, bypassing the Siamese army and attacking the Burmese army.

The army that loses its will to fight and collapses, the more people there are, the worse it will be. Panic is like a powerful contagious disease that will sweep through the entire army in a short period of time. No matter how many people are infected by this panic, Then run around aimlessly, this posture will also make other people around you flee quickly, and spread this panic to other people faster.

One pass ten ten pass one hundred hundred pass one thousand, 10 people seem to be a lot, but once it collapses, it will be a matter of minutes. There are Burmese running around all over the mountains and plains, and there are many people who are trying to prevent the army from collapsing and gathering troops everywhere. , Although there are not many such people, they can also gather many soldiers who have lost their backbone and panic. Under such circumstances, such people are stumbling blocks on the way forward for the Ming army and need to be completely destroyed.

The Ming army marched forward quickly. The archers and blunderbusses first fired from a long distance, and the long-distance fire covered them, while the sword-shieldmen and pikemen were in charge of guarding. They cooperated tacitly in several aspects, because it was not the first time they did this. In Japan and Japan, Xiao Ruxun's firearm array has played a very important role repeatedly. Even if someone in the enemy army counterattacks and resists, it cannot stop the entire army array from advancing.

The Ming army began to attack. In front of the eyes of the Siamese, the Ming army staged a one-sided bloody massacre. The large array of firearms was like a meat grinder, but wherever the large array of firearms went, the Burmese were all turned into flesh and blood. On the ground, never get up again.

This deeply shocked Narishon.
