Chapter 423 Mianbei was defeated

The tragic situation at the head of the city made the soldiers under the city panic, but after a few seconds they didn't care about it anymore.

Xiuxiu ~ The whistling sound sounded again.

This time, the first thing that came was the mortar shells, which were visible to the naked eye and smashed straight down.

"Ahh Run, run~"

The soldiers who reacted immediately turned around and ran, and really let them run a few meters.

Boom ~ Boom ~ Fifty-five shells covered a range of several hundred meters, and thousands of soldiers were immediately surrounded by firelight.

"Ah~no~no~" The huge heat and shrapnel and the tearing shock wave made the cotton soldiers thoroughly enjoyed.

Perhaps the running bomb was benevolent, and the thousands of people wrapped in the flames were only half of the casualties, and the remaining 2,000 people were still alive and well, although they were disgraced.

Run~Run~ The surviving soldiers don't think about anything, they just want to run away from the battlefield.

Seeing the rout coming, one of the generals immediately shouted angrily: "Damn it, stop them!" Don't mess around! ”

The army is most afraid of collapse, and if someone escapes, it can even affect the morale of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Woo Woo ~ "No~General~General~" The pro-soldier pointed to the sky above him in panic.

The general looked up suspiciously, and then the world was filled with fire.

Boom ~ Boom ~ The general who was torn apart immediately did not have a trace of pain, perhaps this is also a kind of luck.

"Ah~no~no~" The wounded soldier rolling on the ground didn't know whether to laugh or cry! After all, they are not dead or alive.

Boom ~ Boom ~

"Boss, let's withdraw!" The sound of artillery around him was constantly ringing, and at this rate, the battalion would be bombarded in ten minutes.

"Kill~Kill~" At this time, the Han An army also began to charge, but unfortunately no one inside and outside the city walls could stand up to stop them.

"Damn! Let's withdraw! "Mangbai was unwilling, but he could only give up!

Half of the 50,000 soldiers and horses have fled, plus those who died in battle, and now there are only 20,000 capable warriors in North Cliff.

As soon as the cotton army retreated, the Han'an army quickly took over the north cliff, and then 10,000 heavy cavalry immediately began to pursue.

After running for half an hour, the tired Mangbai could only order a rest.

"Marshal, we still have 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry now!"

Thousands of people fled, and Mangbai was even more upset!

"Gather the army, we will retreat to the front line of Mande and Taunggyi!"

After seeing the strength of the Han people in the first battle of Beiya, Mang Bai didn't have much courage! Even the North Cliff is like this, and the other levels must have suffered heavy losses!

As soon as the herald walked away, the ground shook.

Boom ~ Boom ~

"Report, the handsome 10,000 Han people are here!"

Mang Bai was shocked and very reluctant! Look at the thirty war elephants!

"War elephants, turn around and fight immediately! The infantry lined up on the spot. ”

"Honorable Order." The generals immediately received their orders, and the thirty war elephants immediately turned around.

When the infantry was arrayed, Mang Bai also immediately left with thousands of mountain cavalry. Although he knew that he had been abandoned, he left without saying a word, which also broke the hearts of all the soldiers.

"Hey! The handsome man escaped! ”

Boom boom boom ~ is near, and the heavy ride is already close at hand.

Ban Ya ~ Ban Ya ~ Maybe it was anger or maybe it was stimulated by chili powder, and thirty war elephants immediately rushed over.

Sitting on the armored giant, all the elephant soldiers also felt the emotion of seeing the mountains at a glance.

"Kill~Kill~"

Boom ~ The impact of the war elephant did not fall behind at all.

Wow wow~ The war elephants are so faceless, and the heavy horses also roar and charge.

There was no need to give an order, the striker's two thousand crossbows had already raised their firing angles.

Xiu Xiu Xiu ~ After two thousand crossbow arrows, another two thousand crossbow arrows flew in.

The elephants couldn't see the dense rain of arrows, but the elephants were desperate.

"Ah no~"

Ding Ding Ding ~ Bumper ~

Snort~ Most of them were stopped by the armor, but there were also small half-crossbow arrows that pierced the elephant skin.

Ban Ya ~ Ban Ya ~ Twenty war elephants immediately screamed and spun around, and ten war elephants were strung around.

Soon twenty whirling war elephants also fell, and they would also die if they bled too much.

In the confusion, several war elephants blindly crashed into the killing heavy horsemen. It's a pity that they hit a few cavalrymen, and they were also split red by sabers.

The powerful war elephant army was destroyed in a battle, and the heavy cavalry army rushed to kill again almost without stopping.

"Steady, don't mess around! Steady! The general shouted, but his shouting was even more alarming.

Boom~ It seems that the boundless heavy riding ocean is coming, and the grass and trees on the ground are also trembling.

"Raise your arrows and shoot!" Ahead is the gun forest shield wall, and the heavy riders will not be hard.

Woo Woo ~ After the dense arrow rain flew up continuously, the shield hand was also messed up, and now they just want to block their heads, otherwise they will definitely die immediately.

Bell bell bell ~ The shield hand in front blocked the rain of arrows, but the sword soldiers in the middle were mostly heavy arrows.

A wail, mixed with the charge of the cavalry, completely crushed the courage of the cotton army.

"Let's go! Come on! "As soon as the laborious flag was still in place, a few flag guards turned their horses and ran.

The cotton army, which had already collapsed, also collapsed immediately, but their final fate can be imagined. In the end, 10,000 people and 2,000 people fled into the depths of the mountains and forests, and the remaining 8,000 people all returned to new soil in the land.

After the Han army launched a real offensive, more than 200,000 cotton troops were also defeated on all fronts.

With the retreat of the cotton army, the fighting on the northern cotton plateau also ended temporarily.

In this battle, the Han army suffered 2,000 casualties, and the cotton army suffered 60,000 casualties and 40,000 prisoners.

Mang Bai commanded 300,000 Mianbei troops, and in the end, there were only 100,000 horses left!

"Hey! Immediately ask Brother Wang to send more troops! "Now Mang Bai has no intention of seizing power, whether their royal family can survive depends on this year.

The recklessness who retreated to the inner capital was also upset!

"Min Laxiang, how many troops can we draw on the southern front?"

Min Laxiang immediately shook his head with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the sailor has almost been completely wiped out!" Now the 300,000 troops of the south are gathered in Yangon! Marshal Bago sent a message: The total number of troops of the Han Naval Division is 200,000! But they have a lot of firearms! It is simply impossible to siphon out troops! Even support is necessary! ”

After the defeat of Mianbei, Mangda regretted it! It's a pity that the empire doesn't seem to give them a chance to surrender.

The Cotton State is a matter of access to the Western Sea and a future Western War, and the Empire also hopes to occupy all the Cotton Land.

After thinking for a while: "Mangda just said!" 200,000 recruits, send 150,000 to Taunggyi! Send five to Yangon to support! Min Laxiang immediately asked all the ministries to collect another 200,000 strong men! ”

"Honorable Order!" Min Laxiang nodded helplessly, so that there were only 30,000 troops in the inner capital! He was also worried about whether the tribes would be willing to send more soldiers! After all, they have already drawn out 200,000 people!

Rangoon was connected to the river, and after seeing the power of the imperial gunboats, the marshal Bago no longer refused to defend the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when we are far away from the river, we will only have to face 130,000 pirates. The king's army of 50,000 will be able to reach the battlefield in a few days! Seeing that the big war was about to begin, Bago also began to make the final mobilization.

The generals were relieved after thinking about it, they had 300,000 people and would not be afraid of 130,000 wouldn't be afraid of the 130,000 wouldn't be afraid.

"Although there are 50,000 or 60,000 firecrackers in our army, our army also has 20,000 firecrackers plus tens of thousands of crossbowmen, which is enough to suppress the firearms army. In this battle, our cotton army will undoubtedly win. ”

Bago also analyzed again, but unfortunately because of the gunboats: the city of Yangon and the territory on the south bank that he abandoned may never be recovered!
