Chapter 769: Siege and Annihilation of the Siamese Army (2)

The defense of 140,000 Siamese troops and 900 war elephants was nearly a kilometer in radius, while the Ming army besieged from all sides, and the attack area was huge, killing thousands of Siamese soldiers with almost every round of shooting.

Such a large-scale attack on all sides was extremely fierce, and in an instant, the commander of the Siamese army, General Thondohi, felt extremely strong pressure.

The cavalry of the Ming army did not directly ride their horses into the Siamese army to fight, but rode on horseback and kept shooting at the Siamese army from a distance of 100 meters.

"Bang bang bang" The Ming soldier hooked the trigger, the bullet was discharged, the bullet flew out, and the back of another Siamese soldier burst into a bloody mist.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming soldiers quickly loaded their ammunition and fired repeatedly.

There were Ming cavalry on all sides, gunfire on all sides, and Siamese soldiers were shot and killed by bullets at every moment. In particular, the archers who were at the forefront of the way to shoot arrows had almost all been killed.

Even, the soldiers of the artillery battalion of the Ariake Army got off their horses and hid behind the cavalry to quickly assemble field artillery.

If the artillery is prepared by the Ming army, the Ming army's offensive will be strengthened several times in an instant.

Although General Tundoxi did not know that the Ming army was preparing artillery fire, he knew very well that the Ming army could not be allowed to shoot and kill like this, otherwise it would be like a massacre, and the army's morale would be defeated in a short time, and the army would inevitably be defeated at that time.

"Order the whole army to rush to the east, in the direction of Taunggyi City!" General Tundohi ordered loudly.

He could see that the Ming army was indeed extremely powerful, but the number of the Ming army was only half of theirs, and the number of Ming troops attacking on all sides at the same time would not be too much, as long as they broke out of the encirclement of the Ming army and rushed to the foot of Dongzhi City, they would be able to rely on Dongzhi City and fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, at least they would not let the army continue to appear in such a passive situation.

"Killed" more than 100,000 Siamese troops and launched a unified charge in the direction of the east.

There are so many Siamese soldiers, it is really like a mountain and a sea, and the Ming army in the east direction is only 16,700 people, and in the face of the overwhelming charge of the ** Siamese army, it really seems relatively thin.

However, none of the Ming soldiers were afraid, and even many of the Ming soldiers looked sarcastic.

I saw hundreds of Ming soldiers who were not on horseback carrying dozens of machine guns to the front.

"Da da da" dozens of machine guns spit out one fire snake after another.

"Poof! Burst! Poof"

The machine-gun fire directly swept away the Siamese soldiers who rushed to the front, and clouds of blood and mist burst out from the backs of the Siamese soldiers who were hit, and the Siamese soldiers fell like wheat harvesting.

With the powerful fire of dozens of machine guns and thousands of rifles, it was impossible for Siamese soldiers to break through the defenses, even several times more.

The reason why cold weapons were abandoned in later wars was because they could only be slaughtered in the face of hot weapons.

When more than 2,000 Siamese soldiers fell, the Siamese soldiers behind were completely frightened.

In the battle, they may have been ready to die in battle, but they were not ready to be slaughtered without resistance, and in the face of such a massacre, it was enough to make them frightened and break their will.

The Siamese soldiers retreated in fear and no longer dared to charge in this direction.

"The Ming army is so powerful, no wonder the hundreds of thousands of troops in Burma were defeated so quickly, and even the capital was captured!" General Tondohi's face was pale, and his expression was full of horror.

However, despite his fear, General Tundohi did not give up.

"Order the whole army to break through to the south!" General Tundohi intended to break out in a different direction.

"Killed" more than 100,000 Siamese soldiers and turned to the south to charge and break through.

However, the Ming 14th Army in the south also had the same firepower as the 2nd Army in the east.

The same dozens of machine guns were placed in front.

The Siamese soldiers suffered the same fate as they did when they attacked the east.

"Poof! Burst! The dense fire of machine guns and rifles swept away a large number of Siamese soldiers.

This time, however, the hundreds of dead and wounded alone frightened the Siamese soldiers.

The east side can't be broken, the south can't be broken, and it seems that the other two sides can't be broken either, this is a massacre, in the face of the Ming army, they can only be slaughtered.

The Siamese soldiers were in despair.

General Tundohi, who commanded these Siamese soldiers, was also desperate, but General Tundoshi gritted his teeth and gave another order.

"Concentrate all the war elephants in the east to open the way, continue to break through to the east, and enter Taunggyi City to join Your Majesty." Even at this time, General Thondohi did not give up on rescuing the Siamese king who was besieged in Taunggyi.

Nine hundred war elephants were quickly driven to the front.

"Killed" more than 100,000 Siamese soldiers, and once again followed the back of the war elephants and charged eastward.

Arriving to the east was Zhou Cao's Second Army of the Ming Army.

Zhou Cao rode on a war horse and stared at the Siamese soldiers rushing in his direction again, his eyes immediately filled with coldness.

"Hmph, don't give up yet! Even the war elephants are used, this is your last resort, however, it is still impossible to rush out! Zhou Cao sneered.

The power of war elephants, the Ming army has been understood when fighting against the Burmese army, and the defects of war elephants, the Ming army can see it clearly, it can be said that the Siamese soldiers drove the war elephants to impact the Ming army's firepower network, not only will not be useful, but will hurt themselves.

Sure enough, the 900 war elephants of the Siamese army roared and rushed towards the Ming army, and the huge elephant legs trampled on the ground, and the earth seemed to shake, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

When the 900 war elephants rushed into the range of the Ming army's fire, the Ming soldiers once again pulled the trigger.

The dense network of fire consisting of machine guns and rifles continued to strafe.

The bullet hit the body of the war elephant, bursting out of blood flowers.

There are war elephants who scream in pain, and there are also war elephants who are shot too much and fall to the ground on the spot, leaving blood on the ground.

As more and more war elephants were killed, the ground was littered with huge corpses of war elephants, and hundreds of war elephants were killed in a short period of time.

Something unexpected happened, the remaining 800 war elephants in the back almost all stopped outside the range of the Ming army, and the huge elephant eyes stared at the flames that the Ming army's machine guns in front of them kept spitting, obviously revealing quite humane fear.

After a while, the war elephants made a unified move, turned and fled backwards.

Such a sudden move that even the Siamese elephant control soldiers who rode on the neck of the war elephant to control a large number of elephants did not have time to react.
