Chapter 760: The Burmese Army is defeated
The Ming army's 800 cannons fired a salvo, and the Burmese soldiers in front of them were in a sea of fire, and the two female military commanders, the Red Lady and Ma Yue'e, were dressed in women's military uniforms, with a sassy posture, and the corners of their mouths were hooked with a cold smile.
After the artillery fire was prepared, it was time for a full-scale counteroffensive of the army.
"The whole army is ready to attack and crush the Burmese army!" Sure enough, the order of the coach Zhou Cao came.
In the battlefield, the Burmese soldiers lying on the ground and the Burmese soldiers who were still standing behind them had not yet entered the 300-meter firing range, were enveloped by a large number of Ming artillery fire.
The shell exploded, and the powerful blazing heat directly lifted several Burmese soldiers lying on their stomachs into the air, and then were pierced into their bodies by other explosive shrapnel, and when their bodies fell back to the ground, they had turned into corpses.
The Burmese soldiers standing 300 meters away were even more miserable, some were directly hit by artillery shells and exploded, their entire bodies were shattered, and the ground was splashed with flesh and blood mist.
Some Burmese soldiers could not resist the heavy artillery fire and stood up with fear, but they had just stood up, and the dense bullets immediately turned them into a hornet's nest.
The Burmese soldiers were frightened, the Burmese soldiers lying on their stomachs within the bullet range were afraid to stand up, and the Burmese soldiers outside the bullet range began to retreat in fear.
"Don't quit! No refund! In the rear, the Burmese king looked at the soldiers who began to retreat, and roared, retreating at this moment means that the defeat of this war, he will not allow it.
Even, the Burmese king sent his own guards to kill the soldiers who dared to retreat without obeying orders.
Seeing such a crazy order from the king, there were indeed some generals and soldiers who were accustomed to listening to the order and hesitated and did not continue to retreat.
However, since the artillery of the Ming army has begun to be powerful, how can it be so simple.
The generals of the artillery battalion had already appeared through binoculars, riding under the city of Mandalay and riding on the backs of war elephants, the king of Burma.
"Fire!" The artillery battalion general, the Ming army, adjusted the muzzle of dozens of cannons and opened fire.
"Boom Boom"
Dozens of cannonballs pierced the air and flew in the direction of the war elephant ridden by the Burmese king.
"No" The sound of cannonballs cutting through the air, the Burmese king's eyes widened as he watched the dozens of black dots flying in the sky.
The "boom boom" cannonball landed and exploded, and the powerful blazing wave directly overturned the luxurious war elephant that the Burmese king was riding.
An elephant's leg was directly blown off because it was directly hit by a cannonball, and its flesh and blood were blurred.
After being lifted off the back of the war elephant, the Burmese king rolled on the ground several times.
As for the war elephants, they were directly blurred with flesh and blood, and they fell to the ground.
The Ming army's shelling of the Burmese king obviously did not end in one round, only a few breaths apart, another round of shells hit, and the place was once again shrouded in a sea of fire, and the Burmese king did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Your Majesty" Some Burmese army generals saw this scene and shouted, but in the explosion of the shells, they could not rush into the fire to check.
The Burmese king did not know whether he was alive or dead, the Burmese generals panicked, the Burmese soldiers panicked, and the Burmese army, which was still slowly retreating, began to retreat in all directions.
On the side of the Ming army, the artillery bombardment and extension were completed, and it was time to attack.
"Get on the bayonet, attack!" Zhou Cao ordered the army to attack with an expressionless face.
The soldiers of the Ming army either got up from lying on their stomachs or from squatting.
With a bang, he pulled out the bayonet inserted in the calf, mounted it on the muzzle, and formed a neat military formation.
"Attack forward!" In the middle of the military formation, the generals of each army shouted.
The two sassy female generals, Red Lady and Ma Yue, also held rifles and began to attack and advance with the army soldiers under their command.
The soldiers of the Ming army marched slowly forward with neat steps.
The Burmese soldiers who dared to lie on their stomachs stood up and were immediately shot into a hornet's nest by the Ming soldiers.
As the Ming army approached, the Burmese soldiers who were still lying on the ground and did not dare to get up were trembling and full of fear.
Some Burmese soldiers who were lying on their stomachs crawled together, wanting to wait for the Ming soldiers to come closer, and suddenly burst out to fight with the Ming soldiers, but unfortunately it was not so simple, when the Ming soldiers were about to attack, a grenade was thrown in the middle of them.
With a bang, the Burmese soldiers who were crawling and gathering together were blown apart.
A few Burmese soldiers trembled and did not gather with anyone, but when the Ming soldiers attacked them, several bayonets pierced them and stabbed them to death!
The Ming army's attack was unstoppable, and even if the Burmese soldiers who were not defeated wanted to rush up to resist the Ming army's attack, they were faced with a continuous and intensive fire from the Ming army.
"Bang bang bang" A large number of Burmese soldiers were shot and fell.
The Ming army was unstoppable, pushing all the Burmese armies that did not collapse and dared to stop them.
There are also soldiers of the Burmese War Elephant Legion who organized a small number of war elephants that had fled to the rear to re-attack, however, these war elephants were also beaten into a hornet's nest before they could rush to the Ming soldiers, bullets hit the body of the war elephants, blood splashed, and the huge bodies of the war elephants fell to the ground.
Not only the infantry formations attacked, but the 800 artillery pieces in the rear were also bombarded non-stop.
"Boom Boom"
Burmese soldiers are killed every minute.
Even some artillery directly aimed at the city of Mandalay to bomb, which caused a sea of fire in the city of Mandalay, and the people of Myanmar cried and fled.
The Burmese army was powerless and could not stop the offensive of the Ming army.
The Burmese soldiers were desperate, the Burmese generals were desperate, the king did not know whether he was alive or dead, and they did not know what to use to defeat the Ming army, and in the face of the Ming army, they were almost slaughtered.
"Nope! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! "There are Burmese soldiers who tremble, turn around, and keep running backwards.
The Burmese army of nearly 300,000 troops, in addition to the nearly 40,000 Burmese soldiers who had been shot and killed, more than 240,000 Burmese soldiers were defeated.
The Burmese soldiers did not dare to flee into the rear of Mandalay, so they could only flee in both directions.
Defeated Burmese soldiers scattered over the mountains.
The defeat was overwhelming, and no amount of efforts by loyal Burmese generals could stop the rout of the Burmese army.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty "A Burmese army general found the Burmese king who was bombed, and looked at the Burmese king, although his body was a little charred, but there was not much blood, and the general shook the Burmese king's body and shouted.
After a while, the Burmese king let out a groan of pain.
"Your Majesty is not dead, take Your Majesty away!" The Burmese general called out to the other Burmese generals, and immediately several loyal Burmese generals took the wounded Burmese king with him in the rout.
