The border between Daming and Myanmar is mostly high mountains and dense forests, and the only passage is from Ruili in Daming to Nankan City in Myanmar.

Nankan City is the military town of Myanmar facing the Ming Dynasty, and the only passage with the Ming Dynasty is guarded.

Since learning that the Ming Dynasty had assembled a heavy army to attack Burma, the Burmese king deployed a large number of troops to defend the city of Nankan.

Although Nankan City is not big, it can accommodate 40,000 Burmese troops, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is an ordinary army, it is 300,000 troops to attack, and it can withstand seventeen or eighteen days, however

"Boom, boom, boom" The 80,000 regular army iron cavalry of the Ming army carried 800 Shenwei field cannons.

The rate of fire of the field cannon with the firing shell reached about three breaths, which was 20 times that of the red-coated cannon and more than three times the power of the red-coated cannon.

What kind of power is 5,000 red-coated cannons!

Ten red-coated cannons can make the defense of a military town nervous, and the degree of defense will increase by three percent.

The consequence of 5,000 red-coated cannons is that a city will be completely turned into a sea of fire!

"Boom boom" shells exploded inside the Burmese town of Nankan.

Explosions one after another, extremely violent explosions.

The bombing lasted less than half a cup of tea, and the city of Nankan had already become a sea of fire, and the Burmese defenders in the city collapsed directly, crying and shouting for their mothers in all directions.

There was no need for the Ming army to enter the city to attack, and a large number of Burmese soldiers defending the city had already fled through the gate on the other side of the south.

After a large number of Burmese defenders fled outside the city, they looked at the city of Namkan, which was constantly trembling in the explosion, their expressions were sluggish and frightened. It's not that they haven't seen such a thing as a cannon, and even because they often trade with Europeans such as Spain and the Netherlands, Myanmar also buys a few red-coated cannons, and Nankan City also has 20 copper cannons to defend the city, but the Ming army only had one round of shelling, and all the copper cannons in Nankan City were reduced to nothing.

The artillery fire of the Ming army was so powerful that it was like the wrath of the gods, and they had watched as many of their comrades were blown into a mist of blood and minced flesh under the explosion of the cannonballs.

Morale and will to fight completely collapsed, and the only thing on the mind of these Burmese soldiers who had escaped from the southern gate was to run away and leave the Ming army.

North City Gate.

"Stop the shelling and blow up the gates!" Sensing that the fire was almost over, Zhou Cao ordered to stop the continued shelling of Nankan City, and instead blew open the city gate to open the passage for the iron cavalry.

With a box of ** being placed outside the city gate blocked by a large amount of falling rubble, it detonated.

With a loud bang, the gates of Nankan City were blown open.

"Rush!"

The Ming iron cavalry rushed into the city through the blasted city gate.

However, they did not see a single Burmese soldier, and all they could see was the wreckage and the fire.

"Looking at this situation, the Burmese army defending the city must have lost their hearts and abandoned the city and fled!" The red lady said to Zhou Cao.

Zhou Cao nodded: "Yes, but you can't let them go back to report to the king of Burma, if you scare away the main Burmese force, it won't be good." The Burmese king and the main force of the Burmese army are in Mandalay, and the armies are scattered in regiments from all roads to kill the Burmese army that fled from Nam Kham! ”

"Obey!" The generals were commanded.

Immediately, 80,000 Ming army iron cavalry quickly chased out of Nankan City from the Nancheng Gate, and then the four corps and regiments divided their troops to chase and kill the Nankan Burmese defenders who fled from Nankan City.

"Bang! Bang"

The Iron Cavalry galloped south of every road, chasing down all the Burmese soldiers they encountered along the way.

Under the gallop of war horses, the Burmese army almost did not have war horses, except for those who fled into the mountains and could not enter the mountains for a while to exterminate, and those who were met by the pursuing soldiers of the Ming army were almost unable to escape.

In a rather flat place about 20 miles south of Nankan City, a large number of Burmese troops who escaped from Nankan City rested here, numbering nearly 8,000 people, the largest of all the Burmese troops who escaped from Nankan City.

However, they had just collapsed on the ground, and their buttocks were not yet hot, when suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the direction they had fled and traveled.

"Ah, it's not good, it's the Ming army chasing after you!" One by one, the Burmese army was shocked and pale.

"Run!" The nearly 8,000 Burmese army was originally one of the routers who fled after being routed by the heavy artillery fire of the Ming army, although the Ming army has not yet appeared, but they are already frightened birds, and they do not have any courage to resist the Ming army, all they think about is still just to escape.

With a bang, the Burmese soldiers who were originally tired and paralyzed on the ground seemed to regain their strength under the persecution of death, stood up and began to flee in all directions, running to dense forests, and the scene was chaotic.

In just a moment, the leading Ming cavalry appeared.

"Haha, there are so many Burmese troops here, and our regiment has encountered them! Don't let any of them go, kill" A regiment commander who led the Ming army laughed and took the lead in rushing over.

After a round of shooting, switch to a slasher.

"Poof!" Blood sprayed.

Demoralized, with no will to fight, and only thinking about fleeing, the Burmese soldiers were unable to organize any resistance and faced only slaughter.

The war horse rushed there with the Ming soldiers, and the Ming soldiers slaughtered there, killing the Burmese soldiers crying and calling their mothers, and they wished that their fathers and mothers would give birth to four legs.

The cavalry of the Ming army had a clear strategy, and the war horses rushed directly to the edge of the dense forest in all directions, directly cutting off the road for the Burmese soldiers to escape into the dense forest.

In addition to the Burmese soldiers who reacted the fastest, and were closest to the dense forest, and were the first to flee into the dense forest, more than 5,000 Burmese soldiers were surrounded by the Ming cavalry.

Seeing that the escape route was blocked, the more than 5,000 Burmese soldiers simply threw away their weapons and bullets and knelt on the ground to surrender.

There are not many Burmese soldiers who dare to rest on the escape road, after all, they are running and running, and they are tired and paralyzed and have no strength to climb into the dense forest, although these Burmese routs try to choose a small road to escape, but unfortunately the Ming army has 80,000 regular troops and twenty-four regiments, and there is no Ming army to pursue on that road!

More than 20,000 Burmese soldiers were killed and captured along the way, and counting the thousands killed in the bombing of Nankan City, only more than 10,000 Burmese soldiers fled into the dense forests everywhere and escaped the pursuit of the Ming army.

However, because the Ming cavalry was too fast, the news of the breach of Nankan City did not even have time to reach the Burmese king and the main Burmese army in Mandalay.

The Ming army was like a bamboo, and after the regiments reunited at Denni a hundred miles away, within two days, they quickly captured Denni, Lamao, Nalang and other important cities in Burma, and advanced to the Nandu River, as long as they crossed the Nandu River, the Ming army could reach the city of Mandalay.

And the Burmese king in Mandalay, originally wanted to wait until the Ming army really attacked Burma and attacked Nankan City before leading the main army north in Mandalay, but unfortunately not only Nankan City, Denny, Lamao, Nalang and other important cities were captured, and even these cities were not as big as the Nandu River to block the Ming army, it is only strange that the speed of the Ming army's iron cavalry with war horses was too fast, maybe if it wasn't for the obstruction of the Nandu River, the Burmese king got the news that the Ming army had invaded Burma, The Ming army can come to Mandalay, but it is also fast.

Since the Ming army has reached the Nandu River, it is not far from Mandalay, and the Burmese king can no longer find other places to fight the Ming army, so he can only be in the Mandalay area.

On the other hand, 80,000 regular troops have conquered so many Burmese cities, leaving only a few regular troops stationed to wait for the garrison troops to follow up and receive them, and 200,000 garrisons have also marched into Nankan City and began to garrison the captured Burmese cities all the way.
