Chapter 67: The Moment of Truth
"Allahan! Help me! A Burmese firecracker fell to the ground trembling and screaming loudly.
He saw a tall, bald-headed, muscular man rushing in like a fly, leaping high like a god, and slashing General Mindo in half with a single sword.
Before the screams of the musketeers fell, another sturdy man rushed in, the bright machete in his hand flew up and down, and in a short time he killed all the pikemen covering in front, and the musketeers behind had not even had time to load the lead bullet into the muzzle!
It was Ye Kai and Zhu Wensheng who rushed in, and the Guangnan people who were stimulated hard enough finally lost their little abacus.
Ye Kai's words pierced their hearts deeply, and countless people recalled the miserable past that they had wanted to forcibly forget.
This revival of Guangnan, revenge is their own business in Guangnan, as outsiders, the Tang people are desperate, what face do they have not to fight?
"Minduo's head is here, Mindo's head is here!" A few Quang Nam soldiers who could speak Burmese cut off Mindo's head and shouted around, while others ripped off Mindo's armor and helmets and shouted loudly.
These Quang Nam soldiers are very smart, and when the battle is reached in this way, the Burmese who are blocking the attack are on the verge of collapse, and the head of the commander Min Duo is the last straw that crushes them.
Sure enough, as Mindo's head and dazzling golden armor appeared all over the battlefield, the Burmese scattered like termites that had destroyed their nests.
This camp, built by the Siamese on a hillside and most suitable for blocking, fell into the hands of Ye Kai and them, and once they occupied it, they could condescend to attack the Burmese army that was besieging Rama II Ishara Songtun!
"There! There is the royal flag of the Burmese, and Prince Zadomin Soe must be under it! Henry, a smoker with a face smoked by gunpowder, came up and pointed to a large flag fluttering in the wind on the hillside.
This Frenchman also went crazy today, and he even launched several surprise attacks with the children of the Ye family with a bayonet.
"Brother Yiwu! Raise our flag, and please join me in storming the king's banner and rescuing Prince Lela! Ye Kai pointed to the royal flag of the Burmese with his finger and ordered loudly!
In the Thai camp, there were few warriors left around Ishara Songtun, no more than five hundred at most, and all of them were wounded, and the strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke drifted into Ishara Songtun's ears with one after another terrible screams.
An old Chenranai attendant supported him, surrounded by bloodied princely guards, and the trumpet of the Burmese attack sounded again in the distance!
The battle has been fought from morning to one or two o'clock in the afternoon, not only the Thais suffered heavy losses by the raid, but also the losses of Myanmar were not light, and even the Burmese army did not have time to eat, both sides were desperately holding their last breath!
"Heroic guards, it was I who harmed you, today, I'm afraid I will go to see the Buddha together!"
Ishara Songtun said slowly, and after speaking, he looked at his chamberlain again, "Shan Nong'an, you must kill me before the Burmese invade, I can't be a captive of the Burmese, I am the prince of the Chorik family, and I must not be like the prince of Ayutthaya to be a prisoner of the devilish Burmese!" ”
"Your Royal Highness, Prince, look!" Just as he was saying this, a bloodied guard suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.
Ishara Songtun stood up and saw that on the hillside in the distance, a bright yellow flag symbolizing the Nguyen family in Quang Nam was galloping, and the dust was flying under the flag, and it looked like thousands of troops and horses were attacking the flag of the king of Burma!
"The reinforcements of the first king have arrived, and the warriors are holding the camp, and life and death are here!" Isara's face flushed with excitement, as if he had an inexhaustible strength all of a sudden.
He is a prince, born with endless glory and wealth, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to live, who wants to die!
"Yes!" The surrounding Siamese soldiers were all shaken, and they immediately regained their vitality, and the pain on their bodies disappeared!
Ye Kai ran first, Zhu Wensheng ran second, and the third was Ye Huan holding the flag.
'Puff puff! The foot board stepped heavily on the dusty ground, and Ye Kai who stepped on it was in pain for a while, and he and Zhu Wensheng and other hundreds of people rushed in front, each of them had a fire hammer in their hands, some of them were their own, and most of them were picked up from the dead Burmese!
Zadominso also saw the attacking army, but he was not at all, no, still a little panicked, he stared at the leader of the guards beside him and shouted, "How is it? How many people are there? Can you block it? ”
The leader of the guards, Suo Wen, thumped his chest, "Please rest assured, Your Highness the Prince, we have 2,000 soldiers of General Wu Wei on the left flank, and here are our 500 ironclad guards, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!" ”
As soon as the words fell, an earth-shattering roar sounded, followed by Burmese screams one after another.
Zadominso trembled, and was about to take a look, "Boom! Another thunderous explosion sounded, and with the rising smoke, the people of the left-wing general Wu Wei fell in an instant.
"Kill!" Shouts of killing in various strange accents sounded, and the tender yellow banner with flying dust slammed into the panicked Wu Wei Left Wing Army, which had just been shot by two rows of guns.
Suowen wiped a handful of cold sweat, and didn't care about talking big, he shouted loudly for Zadominsuo's guards to hurry over and set up defenses.
As a result, his side had just lined up in a horizontal formation, and before he had time to form a team, Wu Wei's left wing army was chiseled through, although there were still some people resisting, but the vanguard of the attacking enemy army had already rushed towards Wang Qi!
Eight minutes! Ye Kai roughly estimated in his heart, he now felt a little like he was the reincarnation of Zhao Zilong, seven hundred people, it only took eight minutes to chisel through a phalanx of two thousand people, and he also killed and injured more than one hundred and fifty people!
Ye Kai, who had penetrated the Burmese Left Wing Army, did not stop, and rushed towards Zadominso, which was under the banner of the king, with all his might.
Sowyn's calves were cramping when he was already scared, where did this army come from? Why is it so fierce? If there is anything wrong with Prince Zadominso, his own life is the best result, and it is estimated that the whole family will have to be buried together!
"Stop them! Fire! "Sixty meters later, Sowen roared loudly, and the Burmese let out a platoon of guns, but it was not very neat!
One of the characteristics of the old-style armies that play cold weapons is that even if they know the power of firearms, they are not very willing to practice more.
In the eyes of these people, picking up a bright broadsword and spear to fight is a war, and what is it to hold a firearm that is troublesome to load?
The so-called poor and rich in martial arts, practicing martial arts and killing enemies in Burma, where you believe in Theravada Buddhism and play slavery, are all things that the superior people should do.
This idea was marketable from the Qing Dynasty in the north to Siam in the south, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was to maintain the so-called Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers invincible in the world, and Burma, Thailand and other places were to protect the privileges of the middle and upper class military aristocracy, all of which are similar to those who say it.
Especially in the Indochina Peninsula, the maintenance and maintenance of muskets is always a big problem, which makes it possible for the natives of Indochina to play cold weapons even if the Europeans have brought advanced muskets here for hundreds of years!
