I'm a big dick

Chapter 637
In the decisive battle with Jianlu in Liaodong, the firepower of the Ming army had already set a record.But at that time it was mainly heavy pressure, and there were not many rockets, let alone multiple launches.

Now, the application of multiple rocket launchers has doubled the number and density of rocket projections, which will once again break the record.

In order to achieve maximum damage, the landing site was chosen on a sandbar stretching out to the river on the opposite bank. The width is not very large, and only two to 3000 people can be placed in the battle formation.

However, when the Burmese army counterattacked wildly, all the artillery fire on the other side would be poured on the enemy's head, with an unprecedented density.

Heavy pressure and rockets were all projectiles, which had no effect on the Ming army's landing battle formation.On both sides of the landing field, there will also be ships equipped with Fran cannons to provide cross-fire cover for the Ming army's landing troops.

This kind of arrangement is very venomous, giving full play to the advantages of the Ming army's firepower, using a small number of landing troops to attract the Burmese army to attack, inflicting heavy damage on them, and thus damaging their morale.

Although it is vicious, it is an upright battle, and there is no strategy of crossing the river more and feinting to contain it.Relying entirely on strength to win is also the way to win with the fewest variables.

For the Burmese, there is no way to retreat, the only way is to fight to the death.Moreover, in an upright battle, they have no room to use their tactics, and they just have to fight to the death.

In one day, more than 2 native soldiers arrived at the front line.This puts the Burmese army at a disadvantage in terms of the total number of troops, leaving only the Ava River to rely on.

The Burmese army is also equipped with a certain number of muskets, which were captured or bought after seeing the power of muskets when fighting Portuguese mercenaries.

But these muskets are all old-fashioned matchlock guns, and their performance cannot be compared with that of the Ming army.As for artillery, there are even fewer, and in the eyes of the Ming army, they are all old and second-hand goods.

More importantly, the Burmese do not have the ability to produce their own firearms.Even the ammunition is all purchased from outside.

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the Burmese were doomed to fail at the beginning of the war, and the subsequent resistance only prolonged the time.

Native officials such as Na's, Pu's, Sha's and Dao's all came to the battlefield.It is not only to cheer for the Ming army, but also to observe and learn.For the imperial court, it was even more a deterrent to the chieftain.

After the local officials led the territorial soldiers to arrive at the Ava River, they immediately tied the rafts and bamboo rafts according to the order, and stationed them in separate camps on the wide river bank, which could also play a certain role in containment.

After several native officials reported to the Chinese army camp, they returned to their respective camps together, inevitably having some discussions.

"Tomorrow's general attack will definitely be successful." The Na clan of Yuanjiang has a long history and is very powerful, but it can't help expressing emotion at the fighting power of the Ming army.

Sha Yuan nodded repeatedly, and said, "If it weren't for the limitation of the transportation of ammunition and supplies, it wouldn't be difficult for the Ming army to take all the way to Central Burma and Lower Burma."

Daohejiang smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? If all of Burma is captured by the Ming army, what shall we do in the future?"

All the local officials were thoughtful, and those who reacted quickly had already agreed with a smile, and Sha Yuan was one of them.

"Brother Dao is right." Sha Yuan said, "The Burmese suffered heavy losses in the war against Burma. In the future, we will plunder land and weaken Burma, all of us will join forces. The Ming army probably won't go out on a large scale again. , just to help."

Nashi touched his chin and beard, and said: "If the local soldiers also have the weapons and equipment of the Ming army, the coalition forces of all families should have a good chance of winning the attack on the Burmese."

"Think carefully about Mr. Wang's words today, it's quite meaningful!" Pushi squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully, "He seems to be talking about Ximian, there is a country like India outside of Burma, which is very weak."

Dao Hejiang said with a smile, "India should be the country of Tianzhu. Mr. Wang just said that, meaning that there is a lot of land in the world, so grab it if you can. The Ming army will provide appropriate help."

"Tianzhu Kingdom, I've heard that there are monks all over the place?" Nashi suddenly asked, "Is that the place where Monk Tang learns Buddhist scriptures?"

"Where he is, if we have the opportunity in the future, we will fight together." Sha Yuan said: "If the local soldiers can change to muskets, they don't need too many Ming troops to help. As long as there are one or two thousand artillery, the victory is almost sure. gone."

"Isn't it just money? That's what it means to spend money to invite the Ming army." Platts said with a chuckle, "I'm guessing right, everyone."

Everyone laughed, none of them were fools, they all heard the meaning of Wang Sanshan's words, and they also understood the future thinking and methods of the court.

At this time, Wang Sanshan was sitting in the large tent of the Chinese army, looking at a large map after studying the layout.

From a long-term perspective, or to implement the emperor's long-term strategy, Mandalay and Ava City must be in their hands, that is, they must be firmly occupied for a long time.

From Mandalay - Ruibo - Damu - Imphal - Kohima... This is the shortest road from Burma to India.

But to enter India, there are still two major obstacles in Myanmar: one is the Chindun River, which is [-] meters wide; the other is the Minjing Mountains, which are [-] feet above sea level and [-] kilometers in size.

Even if these two obstacles are not easy to overcome, they are more realistic and safer than walking the Himalayas.

Moreover, the emperor did not have short-term and urgent requirements for entering the South Asian subcontinent, or even directly reaching the Indian Ocean.

In other words, the emperor was not dissatisfied with spending more than ten years, or even decades, to open up the road to India.

It's just a long-term strategy, Wang Sanshan patted the map lightly, and looked back at Ava City.

......................
This is a bright morning, the sunrise, the morning glow, and the clear sky make the new day full of ritual.

The sound of trumpets and drums sounded in the camp of the Ming army, the flags were swinging, the troops were marching out, and the decisive battle against Burma began.

The Burmese army on the other side also acted nervously and took precautions to deal with it. It had only one purpose, to defeat the Ming army's attempt to cross the river and hold the last barrier of Ava City.

According to the narration of the Burmese soldiers and generals who had fled back, the Burmese army also knew that the Ming army had artillery rockets with a long range, and they did not dare to stand too close to the river bank to fight.

But it was too far away, and he couldn't go into battle in time to counterattack the Ming army crossing the river, which made Bianyajian very embarrassed.

In the end, Bianyajian can only adopt a sparse formation and a dense formation to ensure the timeliness of the input of troops.

The so-called sparseness before denseness can be understood literally.To put it bluntly, there are fewer troops in the front and heavy troops in the back.

Due to the limited number of ships of the Ming army, the strength of the first batch of voyages will certainly not be too many.The Burmese army can then join the troops in front to counterattack the Ming army that landed.

If the counterattack goes well, that is naturally the best.Once the counterattack failed, the Burmese army quickly deployed heavy troops later, and took advantage of its strength to drive the Ming army down the river.

The advantage of this is to try to avoid the destruction of the Ming army's long-range firepower, and the Burmese army's tactics can also be regarded as wave counterattacks.Wave after wave, the Ming army was not given time to breathe and stabilize.
