Chapter 781: Attack on Yangon

"I thought that 7,000 Yangyi people would dare to fight a decisive battle with my nearly 80,000 Ming iron cavalry under the city, how powerful it would be, but I didn't expect it to be so unbeaten!" The red lady glanced at the captured Marquis of Larsi and the others and said.

After besieging and capturing the Marquis of Larsi and other Spanish mercenaries who stood in the way, the next step was to attack Rangoon and capture alive the Burmese king inside.

The Marquis of Larsi, who was captured outside the city, scolded the Burmese king for cheating him in his heart, and the Burmese king in the city also scolded the Marquis of Larsi for cheating people.

"What kind of invincible army is it, it's just a useless rabble, how did I believe Larsie's big words about the dog thing in the first place!" The Burmese king covered his half-swollen face and scolded angrily.

If it weren't for the Marquis of Larsi, who had been boasting about how powerful his Spanish army was, the Burmese king would not have pinned his hopes on Larsi, but he didn't arrive, and Larsi ended up bringing only 7,000 Spanish troops.

Not only is the number disappointing, but the combat effectiveness is even more shameful, and it was completely annihilated and captured by the Ming army in less than a moment, what a bullshit invincible army!

The Burmese king even felt that the Spanish army of the Marquis of Larsi was inferior to his Burmese army.

In fact, of course, the Spanish army was not as unbearable as the Burmese king thought, if the 7,000 Spanish army of the Marquis of Larsi was a rare elite in other parts of the world, and even if the Burmese army fought against the 7,000 Spanish army, the 100,000 Burmese army might be defeated. The flint guns and fourteen-pounder guns of the Spanish army are still very advanced, however, this is compared to other countries except the Ming Dynasty, which is too backward compared to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty eliminated the flint guns and the cannons without antirecoil devices several years ago, and now they are all ready to replace rifled guns on a large scale, so that the Spanish army can only be crushed and slaughtered in the face of the Ming army, and the performance is not half better than the Burmese army with ordinary cold weapons, so the Burmese king will think so.

"Boom Boom"

Suddenly, the earth shook, a violent explosion was heard, and the light of the fire enveloped the whole of Yangon in this instant.

"Boom, boom, boom" several shells fell directly in the courtyard where the Burmese king was, and the buildings inside were destroyed at once, and the only rockery in the courtyard was also hit, and the mountains were blown to pieces, and debris flew up.

The Ming army began to attack the city of Yangon.

800 cannons were set up at a distance of 800 meters from Yangon to shell with all their might, although the distance of 800 meters was a bit far, but with the range of the Ming army's artillery, it was able to completely cover the entire Yangon.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army has begun to attack Rangoon!" A Burmese army general rushed in with a pale face and said.

The Burmese king had just stabilized his body, and his face was also pale.

Although he had already prepared for this, he was still full of fear at this moment, wondering if a cannonball would hit his place the next moment.

Larsi and the Spaniards were defeated, he didn't know who else he could rely on to defeat the Ming army, he had fled from Donghu to Yangon, Rangoon was his last Burmese territory, and losing Rangoon would be equivalent to completely losing the whole of Burma.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is strong, you better run away!" The Burmese general said to the Burmese king.

Escape? Where else could he flee? Even if he really escaped from the city, but the Ming army was all iron cavalry, how could he escape the degree of the Ming army's iron cavalry.

The king of Burma suddenly appeared, and at this moment, he could do nothing but sit and wait for death.

Outside the city, after Lalsey and other Spaniards were captured, they were taken directly to the rear near the artillery camp position.

The Ming army began to bombard Yangon, and although Lalsi and other Spaniards were not in the city, they could also feel the strength of the Ming army's artillery fire.

Looking blankly in the direction of the Ming army's artillery camp, Marquis Larsi had completely lost the ability to think.

"Boom, boom, boom" was only four or five breaths apart, and the Ming army was shelling again.

Glancing at Yangon City, which had turned into a sea of fire in the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, Marquis Larsi's body couldn't help but tremble fiercely.

It's ridiculous that he originally thought that the Ming cavalry was backward in weaponry, just an ordinary cavalry, relying on his own 7,000 Spanish muskets and twenty fourteen-pounder cannons to defeat the Ming army's 80,000 iron cavalry, but he never thought that the Ming cavalry not only had a gun that was more powerful than a flint, but also brought so many cannons with the army.

It is estimated from the dense sound of the Ming army's artillery that there must be nearly 1,000 Ming army artillery.

The number is still not the most important, the most important thing is the shooting, range and power of the Ming artillery, the Marquis of Larsi is desperate, the fourteen-pounder cannon he was proud of is simply scrap copper and rotten iron in front of the Ming artillery, one in the sky and one in the ground, it can't be compared at all, not to mention that he only has 7,000 Spanish muskets, even if it is 100,000, no, 200,000 can't beat the 80,000 Ming army iron cavalry.

It is conceivable that if they had supported it for a longer time and then surrendered just now, after the Ming army's artillery was prepared, it would inevitably bombard them in the first wave, and then they would not have to say surrender to the Ming army, and they would not even be able to find the slag.

The other captured Spaniards were in the same mood as the Marquis de Larsie, full of grief and despair, but now they could only honestly be their captives, praying in their hearts that God would bless them to return to Spain one day.

After half an hour of bombardment, the Sunshine City was on fire, and the buildings that were still intact almost did not exist, and the will of the Burmese soldiers inside must have been destroyed.

"Command the army, prepare to storm the city!" Zhou Cao ordered.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Ming army blew open the gates of Rangoon with explosives.

There are not many Burmese soldiers in Yangon, and after the bombing, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties, the will will is destroyed, and there is not much resistance, so the Ming army does not need to form an infantry formation to reduce casualties, and directly kills into the city as cavalry.

"Rush!" As the first wave of Ming cavalry entered the city of Yangon, the Ming army launched the final encirclement and suppression of Yangon.

The first thing the Ming cavalry saw when they rushed into the city of Yangon was the ruins all over the ground, many of which were still burning with fire, and the bodies of a large number of Burmese soldiers who had been killed were lying on the ground, and some were moaning if they were not dead.

If it weren't for the fact that many ordinary Burmese people in the city had fled the city before the war to seek refuge, there might have been more corpses of ordinary Burmese people.

The Ming soldiers were like a rock, and they didn't have time to sympathize with the Burmese who were killed, they only searched for the remaining Burmese soldiers, and after encountering them, as long as they didn't surrender immediately, they would be killed immediately!
