Chapter 782: The King of Burma Surrenders
In the city of Yangon, the original 64,000 Burmese soldiers were directly killed and injured by the fierce bombardment of the Ming army just now, and the rest had no will to fight.
"Bang! Bang" The Ming cavalry pursued the fleeing Burmese soldiers and shot down two of them.
This frightened the rest of the Burmese soldiers who fled.
"We surrender! We surrender" This group of Burmese soldiers looked like about 100 people, seeing that it was impossible to outrun the Ming army's war horses, these Burmese soldiers surrendered immediately, for fear that the Ming army could not understand their Burmese language, these Burmese soldiers directly knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender.
The Ming cavalry rushed to the surrendered Burmese soldiers.
Even if there were only more than ten Ming cavalry in front of them, these more than 100 Burmese soldiers did not dare to resist, and obediently squatted on the ground under the supervision of several Ming cavalry and did not dare to move indiscriminately.
The rest of the Ming cavalry searched for other Burmese soldiers.
Advancing from the city gate to the center of the city, the Burmese king should be in the middle of the city, as for whether the Burmese king may have escaped from Yangon, this is not possible, because each city gate has the Ming cavalry to monitor the siege, in addition to being in Yangon, the Burmese king can not escape.
More and more scattered Burmese soldiers were captured, and the Ming cavalry moved closer and closer to the center of Rangoon.
By the time the Ming cavalry advanced to a distance of only a few hundred meters from the center of the city, no less than 5,000 Burmese soldiers had been captured.
Of course, although the Burmese army has collapsed, it is not that there are no generals who are loyal to the king of Myanmar to organize resistance, after all, the king of Myanmar has ruled Myanmar for decades, and has been known as the hegemon of the southeast, it is impossible without some die-hard people, in fact, most of the Burmese soldiers who have not been killed have been concentrated in the center of Yangon City to protect the king of Myanmar.
"Killing" Finally, the die-hard Burmese army generals rushed out with a lot of charred Burmese soldiers, intending to intercept the Ming army.
"Bang! Bang" The Ming cavalry raised their guns and opened fire, and more than 30 Burmese soldiers who rushed to the front were killed on the spot.
From the defeat of Mandalay, the loss of hundreds of thousands of elites, to the abandonment of the capital and the flight to Yangon, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has made the Burmese soldiers have little will to resist.
Although such Burmese soldiers rushed out to resist under the organization of die-hard Burmese army generals, they had no fighting spirit and no morale.
No, the Ming cavalry only killed dozens of Burmese soldiers, so the Burmese soldiers behind stopped their tracks, and their faces turned pale one by one.
"Rush, protect the king!" The die-hard Burmese generals yelled, hoping that their soldiers would continue to follow them in their charge against the Ming army.
It's a pity that these Burmese soldiers have been frightened stupidly, and their hearts are full of fear, and none of them dare to rush towards the Ming army again.
Several Burmese army generals who were loyal to the Burmese king gritted their teeth, intending to take the lead and boost the morale of their soldiers.
Immediately, several die-hard Burmese army generals rushed out first, intending to rely on their spirit of fearlessness and loyalty to the Burmese king in exchange for the morale of the Burmese soldiers.
However, as soon as they emerged, they were immediately knocked down by a burst of gunfire from the Ming cavalry in front, and none of them were able to rush beyond ten paces.
Several die-hard Burmese generals did not turn a blind eye, and what made them even more unwilling was that their death not only did not inspire their soldiers to fight hard, but frightened those soldiers even more frightened, and one by one they turned around and fled backwards.
"Rush!" The Ming cavalry took the opportunity to charge.
In a short engagement, under the crushing attack of the Ming army, the Burmese soldiers were not only constantly defeated, but it was difficult to even kill a Ming cavalryman.
Yangon City Central.
The Burmese king had a lot of charred black on his body, and his half-silver head was burned off a lot, and he really deserved to be unbearable.
However, the Burmese king was also lucky, and it was not easy for him to survive such a fierce shelling.
"Where did the Ming army go?" The Burmese king, who had been in a trance for a long time, asked in a trembling voice when he heard the sound of gunfire and shouting of killing that had been heard quite clearly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Ming army may kill here at any time!" Said a loyal Burmese army general.
In fact, the sound of the Ming army's iron cavalry galloping was clearly heard, indicating that the Ming cavalry was very close, and it was indeed possible to appear in front of the Burmese king at any time.
The Burmese king was full of bitterness, when he abandoned the capital Donghu, fled to Yangon, and struggled for so many days, it was inevitable that Burma was destroyed by the Ming army, in fact, as early as the defeat of Mandalay, hundreds of thousands of elite troops were lost, the fate of his Burmese kingdom was already doomed.
"Providence!" The king of Burma had tears in his eyes, and he couldn't imagine that the once powerful Myanmar established by his ancestors would perish in his hands.
However, can he blame the Ming army? Blame the Ming army for coming to destroy him Burma? It's too pretentious!
Between countries, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.
Thinking that at the beginning, when the Ming Dynasty was still in the Wanli period, their Burmese Kingdom surrendered to the Siam State, and reached its peak, and the Burmese kings of that generation were really spirited, in order to further expand their territory, they attacked the Ming Dynasty with 300,000 elite troops and more than 2,000 war elephants without saying a word.
This is an attack for no reason, just to defeat the Ming Dynasty, forcibly seize part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and make the Kingdom of Myanmar more brilliant.
Unfortunately, their Burmese kingdom failed at the beginning, and when they reached the edge of Sichuan, they were defeated by the original Ming army.
Back then, they were able to attack the Ming Dynasty without any reason, and not long ago he also had no reason to attack Siam, they themselves did not talk about the slightest morality, they often went to attack other countries, as long as they were strong, they had endless ambitions, why should they ask the Ming to preach morality and not attack them when they were strong.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is now attacking Myanmar, but the Ming Dynasty is strong and needs to expand its territory, and Myanmar is unfortunately weaker than the Ming Dynasty, and it is on the edge of the Ming Dynasty.
"Let's go, let the soldiers put down their weapons, stop making senseless resistance, and surrender to the Ming army!" The king of Burma was extremely decadent.
The general trend has gone, and no matter how he resists, he will only let many soldiers be killed and injured in vain, since his Burmese kingdom can no longer escape the fate of being destroyed, and it is useless to struggle, it is better to be free!
"Your Majesty," shouted the loyal Burmese army general in surprise.
The king of Burma waved his hand and said, "That's it, you don't have to say more, the result can't be changed, I've made a decision!" ”
The lips of this loyal Burmese army general moved, and finally he couldn't continue to say anything, the Burmese king had already decided to surrender to the Ming army, what could these generals do, were they really willing to die in vain?
Eventually, when the Ming cavalry was almost about to enter the area, the Burmese king walked out with the few loyal generals and soldiers left around him and surrendered to the Ming army!
