Chapter 762: The Kingdom of Siam took advantage of the fire to rob
"Newspaper"
"Your Majesty, it's a big deal, Your Majesty! The 230,000 troops of Siam and 1,400 war elephants have invaded the territory of our Burma, and have successively broken through Mon Dong and Mon Nai, and advanced to the western town of Taunggyi. The Burmese soldiers, who had arrived in a hurry from the border, informed the Burmese king of this extremely important news.
"What! "The king of Siam was wrapped in gauze on his head, and his heart was desperate because of the attack of the Ming army, when he suddenly heard such earth-shattering news, and his eyes immediately widened with anger.
"Didn't I have someone to tell the King of Siam that the Ming army would not only attack my Burma, but also attack him in Siam and Nanzhang and the Three Kingdoms of Zhendian? Why is he still taking advantage of the fire to attack me Burma at this time! The Burmese king looked at the Burmese soldier who had reported the news and said angrily.
The Burmese opened his mouth in surprise at the anger of the Burmese king, he was just a small soldier, how did he know what was going on.
The king of Burma couldn't help but scold, and directly scolded him for having a stick of incense for so long.
After scolding, the Burmese king obviously knew that it was impossible to blame the little soldier in front of him, so he immediately waved his hand to let the little soldier who reported the news in front of him leave.
The soldier was relieved to see the Burmese king's movements, and immediately retreated. Just now he was stared at and scolded by the king of Burma for so long, but his heart and liver were scared out, and he thought that the king was going to punish him for being angry, but he didn't expect to let him go in the end.
Seeing the soldier go out, the Burmese king instantly collapsed and sat back on the king's chair.
At this moment, the king of Burma is really desperate, more desperate than the defeat of the Ming army in the battle of Mandalay, now there is a powerful Ming in the north, and Siam in the southeast is taking advantage of the fire to rob, who can save him in Burma.
Heavens, is his great Burma doomed!
The stupid thing of the King of Siam, he thought that he could take advantage of the fire to rob, but he didn't know that after the destruction of my Burma, he Siamese would also follow in the footsteps of my Burma!
"Hahahaha, hahahaha" The Burmese king laughed in despair.
It is not only laughing at the fact that he is facing a dead end and unable to save the kingdom, but also laughing at the stupidity of the king of Burma.
As the former overlord of thousands of miles of territory in the southeast, the king of Burma has a certain strategy, how can he not know the thoughts of the king of Siam, and he knows that he does not need to be explained, the king of Siam must not believe that the Ming Dynasty attacked him Burma not only to destroy him Burma, but also to destroy the four southeastern countries including him Burma and Siam in one fell swoop, so the king of Siam will take advantage of the fire to rob when he withdrew his troops north to Mandalay to confront the Ming army.
After laughing desperately, the king of Burma smiled bitterly, blaming him for taking the initiative to attack Siam at the beginning, and the king of Siam may also have a certain element of revenge in it, otherwise the king of Siam would not have taken advantage of the fire to rob even if he didn't believe it.
As expected by the Burmese king, the Siamese king really did not believe that the Ming army attacked Burma not only to destroy Burma, but also to destroy Siamese along with him.
On August 17, the 10th year of the Ming Dynasty, after capturing a large city in Burma, Siam's 200,000 troops and 1,400 war elephants were about to march under Taunggyi, the largest town in eastern Burma.
Once Taunggyi was conquered, hundreds of miles southeast of Burma, dozens of cities were in danger to defend and became the pockets of Siam.
At this moment, the King of Siam is in high spirits.
"Hey, that fool of the king of Burma, he must have provoked the Ming Dynasty somewhere, attracted the Ming Dynasty's crusade, and even came to lie to me that the Ming Dynasty not only wants to destroy him Burma, but also destroys my Siamese country, and even the Nanzhang and Zhendian countries must be destroyed to unify the southeast!"
The King of Siam sneered and continued to say to the Siamese generals beside him: "Does that fool of the King of Burma think that I will be as stupid as him? You want to lie to me that I will attack Burma when the Ming army is attacking him, hehe, joke! If you allow Burma to take the initiative to attack our Siam, you will not allow me to retaliate against Siam? Anyway, in order to resist your Burmese invasion, I have also gathered all the armies of my Siamese country, and if I don't retaliate, wouldn't it be a nest! A few of you say no, the king of Burma is not a fool! ”
"Your Majesty is right, we naturally don't believe the words of the king of Burma, the king of Burma took the initiative to attack my Siamese country, this time while they Burma was attacked by the Ming Dynasty, we can just take advantage of the fire to rob and occupy more places, I believe that with the great Ming land, even if we really destroy Burma, we will definitely not care about the places captured by our Siamese country." A Siamese general said to the King of Siam with a smile.
The King of Siam, who was riding on a war elephant, nodded in satisfaction.
"Order the army to speed up, capture Taunggyi, Burma, and expand the territory of the kingdom!" The King of Siam laughed and ordered.
"Take Taunggyi! Expand your territory! ”
"Expand the territory!"
The Siamese soldiers who followed the King of Siam shouted excitedly, and their blood boiled one by one.
Seeing the morale of the soldiers under his command, the king of Siam is also full of blood, in the past, he Siam was weaker than Burma, and he could only watch Myanmar sit in the position of the southeast hegemon, and today, Myanmar is not only facing the attack of the Ming army, but also facing the attack of his Siamese country, this time, even if Burma does not destroy the country, he will no longer be able to compete with him Siamese in the future, and it is his turn to sit in Siam.
No matter what the mood of the King of Siam and the King of Burma was, or what they thought, the strategic purpose of the Ming Dynasty has not changed.
On August 18, the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, the vanguard of the Ming garrison arrived in Mandalay City, took over the defense of Mandalay and captured a large number of Burmese soldiers, after the Ming regular army all freed up, it immediately continued to launch a strategic offensive on Burma, targeting Donghu City, the capital of the Kingdom of Burma.
On 19 August, the Ming army marched south with nearly 80,000 cavalry and arrived at Mitiera, one of the two major towns leading to Donghu.
That night, the Ming army broke through Mytiera overnight and captured tens of thousands of Burmese soldiers guarding Mytiera.
On 20 August, the Ming army rode out of Mitiera and continued southward to attack Naypyidaw, the last important town in front of the capital of the Kingdom of Burma.
Naypyidaw is very close to the capital of Burma, Donghu, as long as the Ming army breaks through Naypyidaw, with the speed of the Ming army's iron cavalry, it will not take two hours for the Ming army's iron cavalry to be able to attack the capital of the Burmese kingdom Donghu.
Now, the Kingdom of Burma is not only facing the strong attack of the Ming army, but also facing the looting of Siam, and the danger of destroying the country is imminent.
The news of the front's request for reinforcements flew like snowflakes to the city of Taungoo and was piled up in front of the Burmese king, who had nothing but despair left nothing but despair.
In the first battle of Mandalay, his army of 300,000 was routed by the Ming army, and less than 10,000 fled back to Donghu with him.
The main army was completely lost, and he couldn't send any reinforcements to rescue Naypyidaw, which was attacked by the Ming army, let alone Naypyidaw, which was attacked by the powerful Ming army, even if it was Taunggyi, which was attacked by Siam, he didn't have the slightest strength to support.
Despair overwhelmed the Burmese king, who seemed to have aged ten years at once, and his expression was full of decadence.
