Chapter 765: Encircling Dongzhi
"Your Majesty, please come into the city!" A Siamese general led the King of Siam into Taggyi with a flattering face.
The King of Siam entered Taunggyi in a luxurious basket on the back of a war elephant.
"Hahahaha, the king of Burma is so stupid and arrogant, he actually took the initiative to attack my Siam, and now Taunggyi City in Burma has been captured by my Siamese country, with this city as a backing, more than 20% of the territory of Burma will be in the pocket of my Siamese country!" The King of Siam said with a laugh.
At this moment, the king of Siam is really in high spirits, and he seems to have seen the moment when Burma has fallen and Siam has become the hegemon of the southeast.
As for the statement that the Burmese king originally reminded that the Ming Dynasty would not only destroy Burma, but also destroy his Siamese state, he did not believe it from the beginning, and he still does not believe it, or he does not take it to heart at all.
"Your Majesty, you can rest in the city, and wait for us to capture the cities around Taunggyi and present them to Your Majesty!" Said a Siamese general.
Taunggyi is the largest town in the southeast of Myanmar, the geographical location is extremely important, after capturing Taunggyi, there are all small cities around that are not dangerous to defend, and a radius of 300 miles can be included in the bag, of course, even if those small cities are not dangerous to defend, it is not difficult to attack, but after all, it also needs people to attack.
The King of Siam nodded, he was really tired after so many days of fighting with the army, and now that he had captured Taunggyi, it was time for him to take a rest, just wait for the good news of the army's attack on Taunggyi.
Immediately, the Siamese generals found the most luxurious house in Taunggyi for the Siamese king to rest.
At the behest of the King of Siam, there were still 210,000 Siamese troops and more than 1,300 war elephants, except for 50,000 troops and 400 war elephants who stayed behind to defend Taunggyi to protect the Siamese king, the rest of the army divided into eight routes to attack other Burmese cities around Taunggyi.
The main Burmese army was completely lost, except for Taunggyi, which was guarded by more than 10,000 troops, and the surrounding Burmese cities were only one or two thousand, or even hundreds of Burmese soldiers.
The army of Siam was really invincible, and attacked in a sea before it reached a city.
After a whole day, they let them capture more than ten large and small cities.
What they didn't know was that the Ming army had also captured the Burmese capital Taungoo, and at the same time they were eyeing their Siamese army, and at this moment, the Ming army's iron cavalry was rushing towards Taunggyi.
It takes about three hours for war horses to gallop from Taunggyi City.
Darsi City, a small county town 100 miles west of Taunggyi, was besieged by a Siamese army of 7,000 men, and only a few hundred Burmese soldiers were guarding the county.
After more than half an hour of attacking, more than half of the hundreds of Burmese soldiers guarding the county town have been killed or wounded.
"General, if you attack it, attack it, you will be able to take a Burmese city again!" Leading this seven-thousand-strong Siamese army was a Siamese general surnamed Hu, and a thousand-man captain suddenly shouted beside him.
Sure enough, several Siamese soldiers climbed the walls of the small county town through a ladder, and more and more Siamese soldiers climbed to the top of the city, killing the Burmese defenders who had not many left.
"Hahahaha, good! Good! After attacking it, this is the second city captured by our army along the way, and everyone has a credit! The Siamese general, surnamed Wu, said with a laugh.
Hearing General Wu say this, the other Siamese generals next to him were all very happy, which showed that General Wu would not take the credit alone, and if he got any benefits, he would share some with them.
"General, although this Daxi City is not big, there are nearly 10,000 Burmese people, I think there must be a lot of Peugeot Burmese women in it, the general can search and enjoy it to his heart's content, for sure!" The small Siamese leader next to him slapped his horse again.
"Good! Good! I like the beauty of Myanmar the most, and everyone will have fun together! General Wu's smile was full of waves.
The war between countries is like this, which side loses, which side of the people will suffer, you can imagine when this Burmese city is captured by this Siamese ** team, how the Burmese people inside will suffer.
However, things often did not go so smoothly, and just when these Siamese soldiers were looking forward to how to enjoy themselves after conquering Daxi City, the earth suddenly trembled slightly, and the sound of rumbling was faintly heard.
The "boom" sound is getting louder and louder, and the shaking of the earth is becoming more and more obvious, like an earthquake, but this sound and movement are definitely not different from an earthquake.
"What's going on, what's going on?" General Wu and the other Siamese generals frowned, unable to react for a while.
If anyone in the northern steppe heard such a sound, they must have instantly realized that it was the sound of a large number of iron horses galloping.
However, after all, General Wu and these Siamese generals lived in Siam, where horses were rarely seen, and they had never seen even a single horse, so it was naturally impossible to hear the sound of thousands of iron horses galloping.
Soon, with the appearance of a five-clawed golden dragon flag, a large number of Ming cavalry rushed out and appeared in the sight of General Wu and other Siamese generals.
"Ahh This is "General Wu opened his mouth wide and his face was full of shock.
"This is the army of the Ming Dynasty!" General Wu finally reacted.
"It's not good, hurry, stop them!" General Wu yelled, trying to let the Siamese soldiers around him block the galloping Ming cavalry.
There were more and more iron horsemen of the Ming army, constantly rushing out from the corners, seemingly endlessly.
The boundless iron-blooded aura rushed towards the Ming army's iron cavalry, almost scaring the Siamese soldiers in front of them.
Soon, the Ming cavalry rushed to the front, and a Siamese soldier was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow, but before he could shoot the arrow, he saw the Ming cavalry on horseback aiming the muzzle of the black hole in his hand at him and pulling the trigger.
With a thud, the Siamese soldier was shot through the chest and fell to the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang" The Ming cavalry galloped, raising their rifles in large numbers and shooting at the Siamese soldiers.
No less than 100 Siamese soldiers were shot in an instant, and then the Ming cavalry changed their sabers and rushed into the other Siamese soldiers and slashed violently.
The Siamese soldiers were so frightened by the sudden attack that they lost their minds.
In addition to the more than 1,000 Siamese soldiers who were attacking Darcy City and had already attacked Darcy City from the city wall, more than 5,000 Siamese soldiers outside faced nearly 80,000 Ming army iron cavalry alone, almost like a leaf in the waves.
"Boom Boom" grenades were thrown into the dense Siamese army, and the power of the explosion directly lifted many Siamese soldiers into the sky.
"Run!" The morale of the soldiers of Siam has completely collapsed and is not in a state of collapse!
General Wu's eyes were also wide open, full of fear.
The soldiers of Siamese began to flee in all directions, and General Wu also fled in all directions, while fleeing, General Wu's face turned pale, and only one thought kept appearing in his heart, why did the Ming army appear here, why did they attack the Siamese army without saying a word, is it really as the king of Burma came to say, the Ming not only want to destroy Burma, but also destroy them Siamese?
General Wu was startled, and his whole body was covered with a chill.
If it is really as he thought, then the Ming army appeared here, wouldn't it be as far as Taunggyi City, Your Majesty would be in Taunggyi City, and the goal of the Ming army would be Your Majesty!
General Wu was not too stupid and had already guessed the intentions of the Ming army.
However, at this moment, even if he wanted to go to Taunggyi to inform the Burmese king, it would be impossible for him, because the Ming army would not give him this opportunity.
The Siamese soldiers fled in all directions, and the Ming cavalry also scattered in pursuit of them.
"Poof! Poof" The Siamese soldiers who were caught up and did not surrender on their knees in time had only one fate, and that was to be cut and killed.
"Boom" another Ming cavalry rushed out from other places, outflanked and blocked the roads on all sides, and also blocked the escape roads of the fleeing Siamese soldiers.
This is undoubtedly a planned war of annihilation.
The Siamese army outside the city, including General Wu, was captured by the Ming army.
The more than 1,000 Siamese soldiers who had already entered the city naturally could not resist the Ming army with the small county town of Darcy that they had captured, and soon the Ming army iron cavalry rushed into the city of Darcy, not only encircling and suppressing the Siamese soldiers who attacked the city, but also encircled and suppressed the remnants of the Burmese army in the city.
In just half an hour, the Ming army completely took Darcy City.
"You're unlucky to have hit the muzzle of my army!" Looking at the large number of Siamese soldiers who were captured, Zhou Cao said with a smile.
Originally, the Ming army did not need to attack Darcy City, and could go straight to Taunggyi, where the King of Siam was located, from other roads, but since Darcy had 7,000 Siamese soldiers here, and they happened to hit the muzzle of the guns passing by the army, Zhou Cao certainly had no reason to let them go.
After capturing Darcy City by the way, Zhou Cao, in addition to leaving 700 cavalry to guard Darsi City and the thousands of captured Siamese soldiers, once again embarked on the road to Taunggyi with the remaining iron cavalry.
After another half an hour, the Ming army's iron cavalry finally approached Taunggyi.
"The soldiers are divided into four routes, and at the same time they encircle the four gates of Taunggyi, so that the king of Siam must not have the slightest possibility of escaping!" Zhou Cao ordered.
"Obey!" Immediately, the Ming army divided into four routes, and at the same time launched a siege of the four city gates of Taunggyi.
