Chapter 60: Awkward Position

"Boom! Rumble! The violent explosion sounded like thunder, and Ye Kai, who had been in a nervous mood and sleeping in clothes, jumped up at once!

When he just rushed out of his tent, Henry, Anna, He Yuer, and others, who had been vigilant, also ran out!

Ye Kai looked from afar, and the place where the explosion occurred seemed to be in the middle camp of the Thais, "Quick!" Everyone assemble and retreat to the camp behind! ”

Although he didn't know what was going on over there, Ye Kai still followed the plan agreed upon early in the morning, and led everyone to retreat to the small village near the mountains and rivers behind, and then reduce the defense area first.

"Boom! Rumble! "There was another series of explosions, and at the same time there were fires everywhere in the Thai military camp, as if many places were burning, this is definitely not an accident, someone must have set it on fire.

"The Siamese arsenal is on fire, and there are people who are setting fire everywhere in the camp!" Zhu Wensheng was neatly dressed and ran over with a pale face.

"Boom!" As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly dull sound came, and Ye Kai looked at the other side of the river in astonishment, where the other bank should have been farmland, and suddenly a string of orange-red fires appeared.

"It's a three-pounder field gun! The Burmese are coming, we are fooled! Henry, the smoker, was also very pale.

The whistling projectiles with a scorching breath smashed into the Thai military camp in strings, and the Thais, who had just woken up from their sleep, screamed and scurried around, many of them were naked except for a white cloth around their waists, and the firelight reflected this early morning like evening.

When the explosion sounded, Isarasson swallowed and got up from his bed, and the chamberlains and guards of the guard at the door hurriedly wrapped him in a blanket, and then prepared to escort the prince to escape.

"Fuck off! I don't care about you! Put me in armor! What happened? How dare the Burmese go out of the city to launch a raid? What about our sentinels? Why don't they get anything in return? Izarasong swallowed twice and pushed away the attendant who was about to pull him away!

"Kill the usurper's son and take revenge! Avenge! "The shouts of killing and screams instantly rang out around the camp of Isarasongtun!

'Bang! A round cannonball jumped and hit the elephant cage next to the camp tent, and a terrible neighing sound came, and the wooden fence hit by the cannonball turned into pieces of debris, and the large and small sawdust pricked the elephant in the cage with blood, and a male elephant in the prime of life was covered in blood, and the pain broke around, and the situation became even more chaotic!

"Your Royal Highness, someone broke into the arsenal, detonated the gunpowder and shells in the warehouse, and three grain depots were also set on fire, and now they are desperately killing this side! Let's go! "One of the Izara Songtun guards ran in.

"I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere! My guards are all here, can't you thousands of you protect me? Raise my banner and tell everyone that I'm Isarasongtun here! ”

"Dibein! The royal flag was erected in the tent of the Thai people, which should be where the Prince Lela of the Thai people is! ”

By the river, pontoon bridges have been erected over this small river, and a large group of Burmese troops dressed in black are crossing the river.

Relying on the guidance of the Siamese people, the Thai secret outposts on this side of the river have been basically solved.

They had been waiting here for two hours to launch a surprise attack, because they had to wait until dawn, and the night attack was not something that the Burmese army could launch now.

"Raise the banner of this prince as well, and I will take the Siamese prince to Abramara (the capital of the Gongbang Dynasty) as my personal slave, just like Emperor Shinyatu (Mang Yinglong) hundreds of years ago!"

Zadominso waved his hand happily, and the thought of being about to capture a prince made him tremble!

In the same way, Ishara Somtun saw the Burmese royal flag raised across the river, and he saw the seemingly endless Burmese army rushing towards him.

Taking a deep breath, Ishara Songtun looked to the right again, a small walled city built by the Quang Nam people happened to be stuck on the road of the Burmese attack, he couldn't help but secretly regret that if he hadn't moved the Quang Nam people to the east yesterday, the Quang Nam people, who numbered as many as 2,000, should be able to stop some of the Burmese!

Ye Kai wiped a cold sweat, he found what frightened him extremely much, the small village behind this big camp happened to be built on a protruding mountain bag, this mountain bag was so good that it was stuck on the way from the Burmese to the Thai camp.

Although the Burmese attacked in two directions, he only had more than 500 men, and the Burmese army had at least 4 to 5,000 men.

'Mmmmmmmm Uh-huh! The roar came, and two elephants dressed in iron-inlaid bamboo armor and covered in colorful cloth rushed over.

War elephants have existed in Indochina Peninsula and Yunnan and other places for thousands of years.

A war elephant is usually accompanied by three warriors, one of whom sits in the middle, and he is responsible for driving the elephant.

A knifeman armed with a long weapon, usually an extended machete, whose main role is to be a knife hand and a protector of the opponent's war elephant gun.

The elephant tail also has a guard armed with a spear, and the guard usually carries a short crossbow, which is used to prevent enemy infantry from harming vulnerable areas such as the elephant's hind legs or anus.

But no matter how many people are on the back of the elephant, the greatest lethality of the elephant soldier lies in the elephant itself, and the war elephant wearing armor leaves is actually an animal version of the tank, and its main role is to tear through the formation of the opposing infantry, or break through the simple wooden village guarded by Ye Kai today.

Ye Kai took a deep breath, although compared to humans, the two-headed war elephant was as terrifying as a beast of the wilderness, but Ye Kai knew that the war elephant was actually far behind the times.

Because elephants, as scary as they may seem, are actually a particularly timid animal, except for male elephants in heat and females with cubs, elephants are actually very timid, they are easily frightened by unfamiliar things or noises, and they are more afraid of fire.

"Bang!" The Minin rifle in Anna's hand flashed, and with the rising smoke, the knife hand on the elephant in front screamed, and with a gorgeous armor of dark gold, he fell down.

"General Sidion, General Sidion!" Shrill Burmese screams rang out, and the marching Burmese troops seemed to be stunned en masse.

The distance between the two sides was at least three hundred meters, and the Burmese never imagined that the muskets could hit so far and so accurately!

At a time when Europeans didn't pay much attention to rifled guns, the Burmese knew nothing about this kind of weapon that was troublesome to load, but had terrible accuracy and range.

"Bang!" Another crisp gunshot rang out, and a stream of blood arrows suddenly appeared on the trunk of the elephant that had just died, the most vulnerable place of the elephant is the nose, in the past, human bows and crossbows, especially those in Indochina, can rarely cause damage to the rough trunk of elephants, but rifled guns are different, it can easily break the skin of any place on the elephant's body.

The elephant that was hit in the nose let out an earth-shattering scream, it raised its front hooves in panic and fear, shook it vigorously, and the driver, who was trying his best to calm the elephant, screamed and fell out of the small house on the elephant's back.

The elephant that lost control of the driver finally lost control, it turned around and began to run away for its life, and the other elephant, which was not injured, was also frightened by its own kind, and it ran back regardless of the command of the driver on its back.

As soon as the two elephants ran, the infantry behind them were miserable, and the elephants who lost their minds didn't care whether they would step on the humans behind them, and in an instant, the dense infantry team of the Burmese was disrupted by their own elephants!
