Chapter 761: The Sorrow of the King of Burma
The Burmese army began to rout in general.
In the Ming army's offensive phalanx, Ma Yue, one of the female army commanders, personally commanded a military formation, watching the large number of Burmese soldiers in Burma continue to rout under the attack of the army, Ma Yue'e actually showed a refreshing smile on her face.
It is said that since Ma Yue'e became the commander of the regular army, the whole army has been equipped with firearms and equipment, and this is the first time he has taken the regular army under his command to the battle.
The white-pole soldiers under his command also gave up the white-pole spear and turned to the armament of rifles, swords and war horses, and became a standard Ming regular army soldier.
Ma Yue'e had been training with the regular army under her command before, and the training for three or four years made her feel very bored, she never knew that such a crushing attack by the regular army of the Ming Dynasty was so full of blood.
"Bang!" Ma Yue'e raised her gun and aimed it at a Burmese soldier in front of her, and instantly pulled the trigger.
The Burmese soldier targeted by Ma Yuet-ngor had a bloody hole in his face, and his body fell to the ground.
Ma Yue'e showed a victorious smile, thinking that she had practiced marksmanship for several years, but after all, she had not practiced in vain, and the feeling of killing the enemy with a rifle was no worse than that of killing the enemy with a white pole and a spear, and it was even more exciting.
The Red Lady is similar to Ma Yue, and it is also the first time to go out with the regular army under her command.
In the past, although her red battalion was elite, it was always worse than the original Ying Long Army, she always thought that it was the reason why the whole Ying Long Army used powerful firearms, and now the 14th Army under her command is also a regular army with all firearms, and she completely felt how strong the Ying Long Army was at the beginning.
The red lady also held a rifle, raised the gun to aim and shoot, and her marksmanship was no worse than Ma Yue'e.
is worthy of being two female generals who don't let their eyebrows go.
Under the attack of the Ming army, the Burmese army inevitably suffered a total rout, and soon, the infantry of the Ming army could not keep up with the defeat of the Burmese soldiers, and after a while, there was no Burmese soldier on the side.
The Ming army entered Mandalay directly from the gates of Mandalay.
Of course, although the goal of the Ming army is to capture Mandalay, it will not give up the pursuit of the defeated Burmese army.
Immediately, in addition to ordering the 5,000 Ming troops to clear Mandalay, the other 70,000 Ming troops all returned to the artillery camp position, retrieved their horses, and reorganized the iron cavalry to pursue the defeated Burmese army.
"Boom" war horse gallops.
With the degree of war horses, soon the Ming cavalry caught up with the defeated Burmese soldiers.
Immediately, the cavalry of the Ming army launched the encirclement and suppression of the Burmese soldiers who caught up, first outflanked on both sides, besieged on all sides, under normal circumstances, as long as there are Ming cavalry on all sides, the Burmese soldiers who have lost the will to fight will surrender, in this way, the Ming army chased farther and farther, and more and more Burmese soldiers were captured.
In addition to some Burmese soldiers who fled into the dense forest, more than 100,000 Burmese soldiers were captured by the Ming army.
In addition to the nearly 100,000 Burmese soldiers, more than 1,000 war elephants who were frightened by the sound of gunfire and hid in the rear early and refused to continue the battle were also captured by the Ming army and guarded in the city of Mandalay.
In the battle outside Mandalay, the Ming army not only defeated the main army of 300,000 in the Kingdom of Burma, but also captured Mandalay, the largest important town in the north of the Kingdom of Burma.
After Mandalay was captured by the Ming army, the capital of the Kingdom of Burma, Taungoo, and Yangon, the largest city in southern Burma.
While pursuing the rout of the Burmese army, the Ming army also took the opportunity to capture a large number of Burmese cities in the four sides of Mandalay.
"Newspaper"
"Marshal Qiyu, the body of the king of Burma has not been found!" A soldier of the Ming Army reported to Zhou Cao.
"Look for it again!" Zhou Cao frowned and ordered the soldiers to continue searching.
It stands to reason that the king of Burma was shelled by dozens of cannons in two rounds, and there should be no possibility of survival, but this is not certain after all, maybe the king of Burma was indeed not killed, but was taken away by some Burmese soldiers in the rout, of course, it is also possible that the king of Burma was blown to the bones, but this is unlikely after all.
Soon, half an hour later, the Burmese king was never found, not even the remains of the Burmese king's body were not found, and Zhou Cao was sure that the Burmese king was not killed by the bombing, but was taken away by the Burmese soldiers in the rout.
"Marshal, the main army of Burma has been defeated, and Burma has almost completely lost the ability to resist, even if the Burmese king is not dead, it doesn't matter much, it won't affect the next battle!" The red lady said to Zhou Cao.
"Yes, husband, anyway, we are also going to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Burma, Taungoo City, and the Burmese king will flee into Taungoo City if he wants to escape, won't our army find him!" Ma Yue'e also said to Zhou Cao.
It is said that Zhou Cao and Ma Yue'e have been married five years ago, and now they have a son and a daughter.
"Didn't you say that you should call the marshal when you go on the expedition, why don't you always change it!" Zhou Cao did not respond to the words of the Red Lady and Ma Yue, but glared at Ma Yue'e fiercely and said.
Ma Yue'e was choked, and glanced at Zhou Cao fiercely, not bothering to reply to his words.
Zhou Cao was helpless and didn't say anything.
Next, Zhou Cao, the Red Lady and Ma Yue'e discussed the attack on Donghu, the capital of the Burmese Kingdom.
As Ma Yue'e and the Red Lady had predicted, the wounded Burmese king was led by some of the Burmese generals who fled back to Taungoo, the capital of the Kingdom of Burma.
When he woke up and heard of the terrible situation after the defeat of the army, the Burmese king looked sad.
"It's over! Is my kingdom of Great Burma really going to be destroyed? Da Ming! Da Ming! The Burmese king cried out in grief.
The Kingdom of Burma is the first powerful country in the southeast, and it is undoubted to dominate this territory, as the king of such a kingdom, the king of Burma was actually quite proud in his heart, and his speech was full of domineering and full of overlord posture.
Over the years, the king of Burma has not provoked the Ming Dynasty, but it does not mean that he thinks that Myanmar is a head lower than the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, he never thinks that his Burmese army is much worse than the Ming Dynasty.
However, the battle of Mandalay completely broke his domineering, the Ming army was only 80,000 troops, 80,000 troops, all the way from Nankan City to Mandalay, and successively defeated his hundreds of thousands of troops in Burma, and it was a crushing defeat, he was sure that the casualties of the Ming army were not even more than 2,000 combined.
Could it be that the gap between him and Myanmar and Daming is so big? Could this be the reason why the Ming Dynasty can become the Shangbang Dynasty, and he can only bow to the Ming Dynasty since the history of Burma? Daming is invincible!
Infinite powerlessness and sorrow enveloped the heart of the former southeastern overlord of Burma, and filled his heart with despair.
Complete one's misery!
Just when the king of Burma was desperate and did not know how to resist the Ming army, bad news also came from the direction of Siam in the southeast.
