Chapter 478: Shifting Time to Take Yangon
Although Mai Ke felt that the original Feng Yunshan, who had entered a dormant state, had done something stupid, he could not tolerate the Burmese army hurting him.
Therefore, from the moment he heard that Yun Shan was seriously injured, he made up his mind to give the Yangon defenders something powerful, so that they could know that the expeditionary force of the Dao Expeditionary Force was not easy to mess with.
It was for this purpose that Mai Ke not only brought all the heavy brigades, but also a company of elephant soldiers.
In addition to the regular army, he also brought all his own guards, not only 100 single and eight generals, but also more than 100 tigers from the newly formed tiger company.
Plus a team of foxes led by the vixen.
At the same time, Chen Yucheng's 3,000 people, as the elite who represent the settled family, are also in a full state, and their morale is even higher!
Even the soldiers brought by Feng Yunshan, who had the weakest troops, still had the strength to fight a battle, although after several days of fierce fighting and the casualties and attrition were relatively serious.
Anyone who dares to challenge the tiger power of the expeditionary force will make him bear serious consequences!
Mai Ke, who now has great strength in his hands, is angry, and in an instant, it is the end of the army being crushed and the city being destroyed.
Therefore, Mai Ke and the new version of Feng Yunshan and the eleventh brother Chen Yucheng said that they were looking to see who was defending the city, but they actually meant to arrest the commander-in-chief of the Burmese army!
When he got outside, he sent the two heavy brigades he brought, and one brigade was in charge of the two city gates, and launched a hard attack!
And because Feng Yunshan's early attack on the east gate attracted a large number of defenders, and caused the commander-in-chief of Burma to personally sit in charge, Mai Ke sent Chen Yucheng's men and horses here to strengthen the attack.
Meantime. Mai Ke himself led one hundred and eight guards to fly over the city wall from the air and directly entered the city!
After entering the city, four groups of ten men were sent out to rush to the four gates.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, they divided the soldiers guarding the gate by two, and they were better to defeat those who did not disperse.
Then open the gates from the inside and let the soldiers of the Heavy Brigade into the city.
If there is no such air attack response. It may be difficult for the heavy brigades to storm the city gates. At the very least, it will take a lot more time.
After the heavy brigade entered the city, it adopted the tactic of pushing flat on the water surface, and all obstacles encountered in front of it were eliminated and flattened.
Encounter this kind of uneventful attack. The defenders, who tried to resist in vain, were in bad luck. Their blocking did not even meet the goal of slowing down the offensive speed of the heavy brigades. All those who stood in their way were either killed or wounded, lost their ability to resist, or were captured in one fell swoop.
To the clever defenders. The Heavy Brigade ignored those who turned around and ran away, knowing that they were invincible, because they knew that their escape would have no effect at all.
They fled from the nets of the east gate, and were not swept away there, but they crashed into the same nets in other directions, and were swept away there, and those nets were already open and waiting for them to fall in.
This is not all the arrangements, Mai Ke also used the spirit rhino to transport those elephant soldier companies and tiger guard companies that participated in the battle for the first time into the city, and appeared directly in the inner courtyard of the palace.
At this time, the faint king of Burma, King Bagan, was still lying on his bed, because the feasts of the previous night had continued until the early hours of the morning, and he had not fallen asleep for a short time.
Although there had long been news that Burma's eastern neighbours were constantly being conquered by expeditionary forces, and that even his royal city of Yangon was under attack, he had not paid much attention to it, and his life of debauchery remained the same.
His uncle's steady defense of the east gate also led him to think that the expeditionary force was nothing more than that, so he did not have any targeted measures to strengthen the defense.
When Mai Ke attacked the palace, the prince's guard did not even make a decent blockade, and Mai Ke's guards successfully attacked the king's bedroom and captured the faint king Bagan in one fell swoop.
After capturing the king, Mai Ke and his guards went non-stop, and then went to the place where the courtiers were meeting, and wiped out all the ministers who were waiting for the king there.
The Tiger Guard, who was the first to participate in the battle, was also tasked with killing the palace stables and capturing all the royal horses and royal guards who were kept there.
At the same time, the heavy brigade that entered the East Gate surrounded the commander-in-chief of the Burmese Army, Pu Songtao, who was commanding at the East Gate, and all his troops.
The elite soldiers led by Chen Yucheng also participated in the battle here, because the number of enemies here was more than double that of the defenders of the other three gates.
Under the cooperation of the heavy brigade and Chen Yucheng's elite troops, the defenders of the east gate soon collapsed; Pu Songtao saw that the situation was not good, and with a few henchmen, he abandoned the city gate, fought a way, and ran in the direction of the city.
However, Chen Yucheng has been staring at him! This guy is the culprit who hurt Brother Feng Yunshan!
Lai Ke is very confessed, and he can't let him run away.
Chen Yucheng patted his horse and looked at him, and his spear stabbed him in the chest! His guards also formed a defensive line and tried their best to block Chen Yucheng, and these people were intercepted by the elite of the Luojia army!
This Pu Songlin can be regarded as average in martial arts at most, but in front of Chen Yucheng, it is not enough, and the weapon he uses is only a long sword.
Therefore, in just one face, the long sword in Pu Songtao's hand was twisted away, and the person was also grabbed by Chen Yucheng, captured alive by Chen Yucheng, and became a prisoner.
The situation of the other three city gates, when the commander-in-chief of the Burmese army, Pu Songtao, was captured alive, and all the soldiers who defended the city surrendered, and the city gates were also accepted by the Far East Army.
From Mai Ke's order to attack to the complete settlement of the battle, it took less than an hour!
Mai Ke didn't have any good feelings for the faint king Bagan, he didn't ask, he directly rewarded him with a miniature thought transformer, Mai Ke said secretly: You go to prison to spend the rest of your life!
For the commander-in-chief of Burma, Wang Shu Pu Songtao, although he was only a battlefield confrontation and could not talk about personal grudges, he must have been the murderer of his brothers.
Since he did not surrender at the first time, and even if he was captured alive, he still refused to surrender, Mai Ke gave him the same treatment as his nephew who was king.
Maybe he will be given a chance to regain his freedom and exert his spare energy.
As for the soldiers defending other strategic points in the city, they basically surrendered to the expeditionary force, and when they saw the heavy brigade advancing in the black, they were immediately overshadowed by the mood that it was difficult to fight the enemy, and they lost all fighting spirit.
Only against the Imperial Guards defending the palace did they really fight, but the battle came to an abrupt end when the Great Bull captured the Captain alive, and all the armed men guarding the palace happily laid down their arms and tied their hands.
In this way, within an hour, Mai Ke and others took Yangon in one fell swoop.
This success not only avenged Feng Yuanshan, but also made the whole of Myanmar fall into a leaderless state. (To be continued......)
