Chapter 770: Siege and Annihilation of the Siamese Army (3)

The out-of-control war elephants instead charged the Siamese army behind.

"No, ah" A Siamese soldier was hit in the chest by an elephant's leg, and his body was instantly kicked to the ground, because of the strong strength of the elephant, his chest collapsed, and he couldn't survive, and the end was miserable.

Like this Siamese soldier, there are many more Siamese soldiers.

It was also at this time that the artillery of the Ming army was prepared, and under the orders of the generals of the artillery battalion, the artillery shells began to be tilted towards the encircled Siamese army.

"Fire!" The general of the artillery battalion of the Ming army waved down the order flag.

"Boom, boom, boom" Hundreds of cannons instantly blew up the hundreds of thousands of Siamese troops surrounded within a radius of 10,000 meters, and there were fires from the explosion of shells everywhere.

"Ahhhhhhhh

In such a narrow encirclement, under such powerful artillery fire, every shell took the lives of at least several Siamese soldiers.

Almost every round of shelling killed and wounded thousands of Siamese soldiers.

Miserable! It's miserable!

The Siamese soldiers in the encirclement were in disarray. The commander of the Siamese army, General Tundohi, was even more pale.

"General be careful!"

An artillery shell exploded directly not far from General Tundohe, and the blazing air wave overturned General Tondohi at once, rolled on the ground several times, and was not lightly injured, but under the bombardment of the shell, General Tundohi was never able to stand up again, and could only lie on his stomach to avoid the attack of the shell.

The Siamese army collapsed, the morale was knocked to the bottom, the will to fight was completely lost, and both generals and ordinary soldiers were only concerned about dodging shells and constantly running in search of a place to hide.

Unfortunately, the encirclement was so narrow, and there were so many Siamese soldiers, where was there for them to take refuge.

In order to deliver the final blow to the hundreds of thousands of Siamese troops, Zhou Cao was ready to give the final order to attack.

"Order the whole army to attack and advance together, compressing the area surrounding the Siamese soldiers." The current encirclement is a kilometer radius, and although the Siamese soldiers are also relatively dense, if it is further compressed, it can more effectively exert the effect of artillery.

The Ming army on all sides began to slowly advance towards the center of the press.

Every once in a while, the machine gunner carried the machine gun and walked forward more than ten meters quickly, while the Ming soldiers on the horses behind drove the horses forward slowly, and kept aiming at the Siamese soldiers in front of them to shoot.

With the oppression of the Ming army, the Siamese army fell into complete despair.

This battle of encirclement and annihilation began to come to an end.

When the Ming army surrounded and suppressed the hundreds of thousands of Siamese soldiers led by Tundohi outside the city, in Taunggyi City, the Siamese king, 50,000 Siamese soldiers and 400 war elephants in the city also launched a big battle to storm the four city gates.

In Taunggyi, the King of Siam himself rode on a war elephant to command.

"Pass the order, the first person to rush out of the city gate will be rewarded with a box of silver!" In order to boost the morale of the soldier and protect him from the Ming army, the King of Siam promised a heavy reward.

The so-called box of silver in Siam is one thousand taels, this thousand taels of silver, perhaps in the current Ming Dynasty, is not a huge amount of money, but in Siam, it is enough for three generations of a family to live a prosperous and prosperous life, and it is definitely a heavy reward worthy of all Siamese soldiers.

"Your Majesty has an order, this one who rushes out of the city gate will be rewarded with a box of silver!" A Siamese general shouted.

Under the heavy reward, the morale of the Siamese soldiers in the city was really high.

The main attack of the Siamese army was the East Gate.

"Killing" thousands of Siamese soldiers began to attack with red eyes, and everyone was vying to be the first to rush out of the city gate, and then kill the Ming army who retreated outside the city to protect His Majesty and return to Siam, so that he could get the tempting reward.

When the Siamese soldiers began to charge, the Siamese king, who was watching the battle on the back of the war elephant, looked confident.

In fact, long before the impact on the city gate, there were soldiers on the city wall to report to him, the Ming soldiers surrounded outside each city gate were only about 2,000 people, and his 50,000 troops attacked a city gate, more than 20 times the number of Ming troops outside the city gate, and he couldn't rush out if he didn't believe it.

As everyone scrambled to be the first, almost overnight, someone rushed into the entrance of the city gate, and was about to rush out of the door and out of the city.

At this moment, the Siamese soldier who rushed to the front had an obviously excited smile on his face, as if he saw that he was the first to rush out of the city gate and fight with the Ming army surrounded outside the city, so as to get a heavy reward of a box of silver.

However, at this moment, a bullet flew and burrowed directly into the body of the Siamese soldier and sent a cloud of blood from his back.

The sound of machine gun fire was heard, accompanied by more bullets.

The Siamese soldier who rushed to the front was knocked upside down by the dense bullets, and clouds of blood mist continued to burst out of his body with the penetration of the bullets.

When the body of the Siamese soldier fell to the ground, it had already been damaged by bullets.

Many more Siamese soldiers, like this man, were hornet's nests with a dense barrage of bullets.

In just a few breaths, more than 30 Siamese soldiers were shot at the entrance of the city gate, and the corpses were piled up to three feet high.

Such a tragic scene instantly frightened the other Siamese soldiers behind them, and they were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks for a moment, and did not dare to step into the entrance of the city gate again.

"How is it possible, how can this be!" The King of Siam, who was sitting on the back of a war elephant in the back, was also disillusioned and blurted out an exclamation.

Although the king of Siam knew that the Ming army was strong, he was afraid of the Ming army for the past two days and did not dare to take the initiative to order the army to rush out of the city, and naturally he did not know what the firepower of the Ming army was, that is, today, the main force of the Ming army was exhausted, and only 2,000 people were left outside each city gate before he dared to take the initiative to order the storm of the city gate, but, looking at the situation just now, he never thought that even if the Ming army only left 2,000 people outside each city gate, his 50,000 army seemed to be difficult to protect him and rush out.

The King of Siam felt desperate, if he couldn't break out of the city gate at this moment, then when the main force of the Ming army defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops who came to the rescue outside the city and turned back, would he still have a way to live, could he surrender to the Ming army like this?

The King of Siam turned blue, he didn't want to be a prisoner yet.

"Pass the order, the first person to rush out of the city gate will be rewarded with ten boxes of silver!" In order to break out of the city gate and escape from Taunggyi, the King of Siam had to increase the reward again, hoping to boost the morale of the soldiers once again.
