Before then, Zhou Cao led nearly 80,000 Ming army iron cavalry to the city of Donghu.

"Newspaper"

"Marshal Qiyu, the spies have sent news that not long ago, 30,000 Burmese troops withdrew from Taungoo City, and the Burmese king and his royal family may have fled Taungoo City!" The spies will tell Zhou Cao what they have found, and guess that the Burmese king may have left Taungoo with the 30,000 Burmese army.

Although the king of Burma tried his best to hide the news, in the end it was the team of 30,000 troops escorting the royal family and many officials and families, and no matter how blind the Ming army spies were, they could know such news.

"What? The Burmese king may no longer be in the city of Taungoo? Zhou Cao frowned.

In the Battle of Mandalay, the Burmese king was not directly killed, and it was originally thought that the attack on Taungoo could capture the Burmese king, but it seems impossible.

"Where has the King of Burma gone?" Zhou Cao settled down and asked.

"Back to the marshal, I went to the south, the specific destination is unknown!" The spy replied. Before the Burmese king reached Yangon, it was impossible for the Ming army to know the exact location of the Burmese king's escape.

"Continue to investigate, and report as soon as there is a situation!" Zhou Cao ordered.

"Obey!" The spies then rode away.

Zhou Cao stared at the back of the spies who disappeared, his expression was quite gloomy, the king of Burma actually chose to abandon the capital, abandoned the city and fled, which was somewhat unexpected to him, before he captured the king of Myanmar or killed the king of Myanmar, even if the capital of Myanmar was captured, the war in Myanmar was still not over.

However, Burma is so big, even if the Burmese king escapes this time, then as he continues to move south, he will inevitably be able to capture or kill the Burmese king one day, and the top priority is to capture the current Taungoo city first.

"Order, blow open the city gate, and the army will enter the city!" Zhou Cao ordered.

Now that it is known that the Burmese king and 30,000 Burmese troops have left the city of Donghu, it can be guessed that the remaining defenders in the city of Donghu must be some old, weak, sick and disabled, even if the street fighting will not cause any casualties to the army, in this case, even the city does not need to be bombed, just use ** to blow up a road for the army to kill into the city.

First, a group of Ming cavalry rode to a place more than 100 meters below the city wall, and suppressed the old and weak soldiers of the Burmese army on the city wall with rifles, and could not stretch out their heads to shoot arrows at the city.

Immediately afterwards, a small group of Ming cavalry quickly stacked it outside the blocked city gate with **.

"Boom!" After a loud bang, the flames soared into the sky and the rubble flew out.

**The powerful power will directly blow up the blocked city gate hole to open a way out.

"Rush!" The Ming cavalry charged, and entered the city directly from the hole in the city gate that was blown open.

As soon as the Ming cavalry rushed in, these old and weak soldiers knew that they could not be the opponents of the Ming cavalry, and they didn't even resist, and when they saw the Ming cavalry, they knelt down and surrendered.

With little resistance, the Ming army soon completely captured the city of Donghu.

At the same time as the capture of the city of Donghu, a piece of news came, which made Zhou Cao temporarily give up his plan to immediately go south to pursue and kill the Burmese king.

"Newspaper"

"Marshal Qiyu, the spies sent to the east have sent back news that Taunggyi, an important town in southeastern Burma, is being besieged by the Siamese army!"

This news undoubtedly surprised the Ming generals present, and it didn't mean that Siam took advantage of the fire to loot.

"Huh? Is the message accurate? Is it true that the Siamese army is besieging Taunggyi? Before Zhou Cao could speak, the red lady, one of the deputy marshals, asked first.

"Back to the deputy marshal, the news is true, the Burmese army exceeds 200,000, and there are more than 1,000 war elephants!" The spy replied.

"With so many armies, isn't Siam the whole country all, which is interesting." Ma Yue'e also said with some amusement.

Zhou Cao thought about it, before the Ming army gathered in Yunnan and was ready to attack Burma, in fact, there was news that the Burmese king attacked Siam with all his strength, but the Ming army was heavily gathered, and the Burmese king had to withdraw the army. As soon as the Burmese king retreated, the Siamese king was ready to take advantage of the fire to rob, which was to retaliate for the Burmese invasion.

Thinking of the possible reason why the Siamese army took advantage of the fire to rob, Zhou Cao also looked playful.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty was ready to destroy the four southeastern countries in one fell swoop, and among the four countries, Burma and Siam were the most powerful. Now that the main army of Burma has been defeated and the capital of Taungoo has been captured, Siam has sent their main army to the door at this time.

"This is a great opportunity to annihilate the main army of Siam in one fell swoop, and we can't let it go!" Zhou Cao immediately made a decision.

The two deputy marshals of the Red Lady and Ma Yue'e both nodded in agreement, and they really couldn't let go of such a great opportunity.

Taunggyi was not far from the city of Taungoo, and after discussion, the Ming army was quickly ready to send troops to Taunggyi to encircle and annihilate the main army of Siam there.

"Boom" war horse gallops. On August 22, Zhou Cao and others did not wait for the arrival of the garrison to take over the defense of Donghu, leaving only a small number of more than 1,000 troops to garrison Donghu, and then led the remaining army of about 76,000 to Dongggyi without stopping, and attacked the main army of Siam there.

After three days of siege and assault, the Siamese army finally captured Taunggyi, which was garrisoned by less than 10,000 people.

"Kill" the Siamese soldiers shouted and slaughtered into Taunggyi.

The remnants of the Burmese soldiers who "killed" the city also rushed out and engaged in a fierce battle with the Siamese soldiers who entered the city.

The pair of Siamese soldiers who appeared were held back by a similar number of Burmese soldiers.

In the midst of fierce fighting, a Siamese soldier slashed and killed a Burmese soldier, and was immediately killed by other Burmese soldiers, and the number of casualties on both sides was almost the same.

To say that the two countries are also hundreds of years old enemies, the soldiers on both sides are one-on-one, but after all, the Siamese army is outnumbered, and soon a team of Siamese soldiers came to support, and the absolute number of Siamese soldiers completely crushed the remaining Burmese soldiers in the city.

The Burmese soldiers suffered heavy casualties, began to lose and retreated.

"Hahahaha, kill" a Siamese general laughed and led his Siamese soldiers to chase down the remnants of the defeated Burmese soldiers.

Over time, Siamese soldiers gradually captured Taunggyi completely.
