Chapter 640 Taking Ava Without Fighting
The Burmese army was defeated and fled back to Ava City in embarrassment. What awaited them was chaos all over the city.

The West City Gate was even more crowded and crowded.Although the king of Myanmar strictly ordered the army to guard the city gate in order to calm people's hearts, he did not allow the princes and ministers to leave the city to escape.

But how bad the situation is, can the Burmese know it in their hearts?Not letting go can't stop people from secretly packing up their belongings and preparing to escape at any time.

The fierce battle on the front line is what the Burmese people, including the Burmese king, pay attention to with wide-eyed eyes.

As soon as the rout began, someone ran back to report the news.The first to know the news, and the first to escape were King Myanmar and his family.Apparently, they were already ready to run away. It was just a joke to die with the city.

As soon as the king of Myanmar left the city, the princes and ministers followed closely behind, and the rich and common people were also panicked, rushing out of the city.

Although the river defense was breached, the city would definitely not be able to defend it, but the embarrassing escape of the Burmese king and ministers made the city defense useless.

The turmoil of defeated troops not only disrupted the order, but also disrupted the morale of the city defense troops.Everyone knows that the fall of the city is inevitable, and the king has run away, so who are you going to fight for and defend the city for?
A large number of Ming troops chased down the defeated soldiers until they arrived at the city. Instead of attacking hastily, they reorganized their troops and waited for the arrival of heavy weapons.

In one go, they captured the city of Ava, successfully ending the war against Burma, and tried not to let the Burmese take away too much gold and silver.

The Ming army received such an order and was excited about it.It's very simple, they also have a share in the seizure of the war.

According to the private disclosure of the military officers, in this war, each soldier will be rewarded at least equivalent to two years of salary.

Two years' salary is not a small amount for ordinary soldiers.You know, their normal salary is enough to support their families, and their salary for two years is enough for them to buy a house and land and live a well-off life.

Therefore, the fighting enthusiasm of the Ming army was high, and their eyes were red when they stared at Ava City.I heard that even the walls of the palace inside are covered with gold, this must not be let go.

In fact, starting from the battle against Burma, the soldiers of the Ming army have somewhat gained something.The officers looked down on the random things they got from small to small, and they turned a blind eye and were not too harsh.

Gold and silver are only part of the spoils, and prisoners of war and population can all be converted into money.

Fighting for the country, making contributions, getting promoted and making a fortune, in many cases, these three are not contradictory.When combined, the motivating effect is even more pronounced.

Hearing of the war, he is happy, the teacher of tigers and wolves.This is what the emperor wants to achieve, to create an invincible army for Ming Dynasty to fight in all directions.

"Fire!" The rocket troops who arrived first had only a dozen launchers, but they shot dozens of rockets into the city at once.

There was a booming explosion, puffs of black smoke rose from the city, and screams and screams could be heard outside the city.

Xu Hongyu is in command of the headquarters and is arranging siege tactics.It's very simple, that is, artillery bombardment, musket suppression, and blasting from the city gate to attack the city.

Although Awa City is called a city, it can only be regarded as a big stockade compared to the majestic city in Daming.The Ming army was full of confidence in capturing this city.

The other Ming armies marched in all directions and surrounded the city of Ava, and they did not plan to use any redundant strategy of encircling three ques and one.

A group of cavalry passed around the city like lightning, chasing and killing towards the west.

Bagan was occupied by the Siamese army, and the retreat down the Ava River had been cut off.The king of Burma and his ministers could only go west, then turn south, and flee to Central Burma.

How can the frightened fleeing team resist the imposing iron cavalry?As for how many people can catch up and how much property can be robbed, it is no longer something for the hot-blooded cavalry to consider.

Heavy firearms and ammunition were continuously delivered to the city, arranged in rows, and the muzzles and arrows pointed obliquely at Ava City.

Fran's machine guns and heavy muskets were concentrated at the north gate, wooden rafts were brought in by the soldiers, and several iron boxes specially used for blasting were pushed up by carts.

Wang Sanshan arrived at the city with his personal guards. In the final final battle, as the commander-in-chief, he had to give orders in person and witness the troops entering the city with his own eyes.

Wanting fame is not surprising and normal.The emperor fulfilled the veteran's wish before retiring, and he also wanted to repay the emperor's favor with a happy ending.

"Stubbornly resist to the end, bloodbath and massacre the city!"

"Break through the city without leaving any chickens or dogs behind."

......................
The Ming army's rigorous battle formation, deterrent gun muzzles, and murderous slogans formed a terrifying coercion under the city of Ava.

Wang Sanshan narrowed his eyes, and slowly raised his hand when he heard the message from various ministries that the preparations had been completed.As long as you wave it suddenly, the overwhelming artillery fire will roar like thunder.

His hand stopped in the air, and Wang Sanshan saw the flag on the head of Ava city fall down.Afterwards, the gate of the city was opened, and several Burmese officials bowed their heads and walked out with a deep bow.

hey-hey!Sha Yuan put down the binoculars in his hand, sneered a few times, and said to the native official next to him: "The Burmese have landed, so they are pretty smart."

"Are you scared by the bloodbath of the city massacre?" Na raised his eyebrows and said, "Resistance in the corner will only increase the death and injury in vain."

Dao Hejiang shrugged his shoulders. He was a little surprised by this ending, but it was reasonable.

The Ava River defense line is what the Burmese rely on most. Once they break through, they will suffer a heavy psychological blow, and it is normal to lose their fighting spirit.

Moreover, from the Burmese officials in the city, the Burmese king should have run away.The morale of the army and the people have been lost, so what can they do to resist the powerful Ming army?

"I heard that the imperial court gave several pacifiers the official positions." Platts glanced at the several native officials, and said uncertainly: "Allow the newly occupied Myanmar land to these pacifiers."

Sha Yuan curled his lips secretly, this is not a secret, and only Platts has no brains and would say it in public.You can see that everyone knows it well and operates secretly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Dao Hejiang couldn't help laughing dryly, and said perfunctorily: "Brother Pu's news is quite accurate, anyway, there should be soldiers who sent troops, so you don't have to worry, just wait for the court to make arrangements."

Really?Platts looked suspicious, thinking in his heart: Why are they all looking weird, looking at me as if they were looking at a fool.

Those who send troops will definitely have places, there is no doubt about it.But is it just based on the number of people? Everyone knows that's not the case.

In other words, the extra quota given by the imperial court must be contested.I just don't know what the basis for the court's decision is, taxes, food, military strength...

Moreover, chieftains such as Meng Mi, Mu Bang, Meng Yang, etc., although they saw the opportunity quickly, they quickly returned to the Ming army and provided great help to the Ming army.

But the stain of being attached to Myanmar is not easy to wash away, at least it is a crime of disloyalty to the Ming court.The imperial court may not punish them too severely, but it is still difficult for these chieftains to maintain the previous situation.
