On the first day of September, outside the city of Ava.

At this time, more than 100,000 people were fighting around the city of Ava.

Soldiers in Daming coats or rattan armor, or even no armor at all, but only a suit made of white or green cloth, drove the ragged men of the brigade forward. These ragged men were people from the vicinity of Ava, and they were taken to fill the moat. They wrapped the dirt in various leaves, ran to the moat and threw the leaves, and then quickly ran back to fill the soil again.

Naturally, the Ava army at the head of the city could not let them fill in the earth like this and keep shooting arrows at the city. In order to speed up the siege efficiency, the Han army that drove them pushed the large and small cannons to a place less than 200 zhang away from the city, and fired scattered bullets at the head of the city. The barrel has a service life, and it is possible to explode the chamber if you shoot continuously, anyway, it is not your own Han army that is killed by the bow and arrow, so Zhu Yang also let the artillery team save a little use of shells.

At the same time, on the outskirts, the Han army and the native soldiers also engaged the Ava army, which had heard that the city of Ava had been besieged and had come to support. However, these armies were not large in number and their combat effectiveness was not strong, and the Han army and the native soldiers easily defeated them.

In the blink of an eye, it was already late in the evening, and Yan Wu reported to Zhu Yang and Mu Ang: "Your Highness, General Mu, today you have defeated seven or eight thousand Ava soldiers from other places who rushed over, captured more than 2,000 prisoners, and killed more than 2,000 people. ”

"How come only more than 2,000 captives have been captured? What did the cavalry do? Zhu Yang asked.

"I commanded it," said Muang, "in order to prevent the Ava army from suddenly returning to the division, I ordered all cavalry not to pursue more than twenty miles. ”

Zhu Yang heard that it was Mu Ang's order, so he stopped talking.

"Take care of the captives, you can't let them escape, and you can't let the local officials pull them away." Mu Ang commanded Yan Wu again.

"Yes, General Mu." Yan Wu said.

Mu Ang picked up the clairvoyance and looked at the vicinity of Ava City, and then said to Zhu Yan: "Your Highness, the moat in the south has almost been filled, and if you let these people fill it in one more wave, you can let the soldiers wade across the water." Tell the soldiers to prepare for the siege. ”

"Now?" Zhu Yang said with some doubts: "It's almost dark now." ”

"Today is the first day of our army's siege, and it is the time when morale is at its highest, and it is not appropriate to shirk it until tomorrow; Moreover, most of the soldiers had been resting in the afternoon, and they had enough strength to fight. ”

"What's more," Mu Ang pointed to the head of the city, "there should be less than 10,000 troops left in Ava City, and the rest are requisitioned people. These people were chaotic at the beginning of the city, but now there is a trace of discipline, which shows that the general defending the city is very capable of commanding the army. If they are given another night of time, and let the generals defending the city finish conditioning the people, it will be twice as difficult to attack the city tomorrow as it is today. ”

"Really?" Zhu Yang also raised his clairvoyance to look at the city, but he didn't feel the difference from when they had just started attacking the city.

However, Mu Ang has been in Yunnan for a long time, and he is much better at fighting than him, and he will not question Mu Ang's orders, so he said: "Just do what Mu Ang says." ”

"Immediately order the Han army, Meng Yang army, Meng Gen army, Meng Lian army, Eight Hundred Army, Mu Bang army, etc., who are resting in the rear today, to prepare for an attack."

"Tell the artillery team to stop firing shotshots, clear the chamber, and prepare solid shells."

"All the cavalry returned, and the soldiers dismounted and repaired."

"Wait for this wave of people who are filling the earth to come back, let them rest for a while, and in a quarter of an hour rush to the moat to fill the earth."

“……”

Mu Ang issued orders in an orderly manner.

At this time, the generals and local officials gathered in the big tent promised one after another: "Yes, General Mu." ”

"The soldiers have already eaten, now let's eat. After a quarter of an hour, those who should lead the troops to charge will lead the troops to charge, and those who should command the battle will be killed. Mu Ang finally said.

On August 22, Yan Wu led his troops to attack Taigong City, and immediately learned from the captives that the city of Ava was now empty, so he led most of his troops south in the afternoon.

Zhu Yang, who was leading the army south on the 23rd, learned of this, and immediately ordered He Fu to command the army, and he led all the 4,000 cavalry and 100 elephant soldiers he brought this time to break away from most of them and quickly go south, and rushed to Taigong City on the 24th, and continued to go south after a short rest, and caught up with the front army led by Yan Wu on August 29.

On the evening of August 30, they rushed to the city of Ava, and were surprised to find that the army had surrounded the city on three sides, and Zhu Yang saw the Muzi banner in the army besieging the city of Ava. The Southern Route Army, which had originally marched to Ava City from the east, also received information that Ava City was empty after breaking through the city, so Mu Ang led the whole army to advance at full speed and rushed to the city on the 30th.

After the two sides met, the total force exceeded 60,000, with Mu Ang as the commander, and surrounded the city of Ava on three sides - the city of Ava is located at the confluence of the Dajinsha River (Irrawaddy River) and the Ava River (Nandu River), and the river cannot be surrounded by the river to the north - after repairing for a night, the siege began early this morning.

A quarter of an hour later, all the generals had finished eating, everyone was already in their places, and Mu Ang gave an order to start the final siege battle.

……

……

As soon as this wave of siege began, the eldest prince Narota, who was stationed in Ava City, felt that something was wrong.

Narota is the eldest son of the current monarch of Ava, and he is very capable, and in history, he led the Ava army to break through Mengyang City five years later, cut off the heads of Dao Mu Dan and his eldest son Dao Siluan, and occupied Mengyang. Although in the end he had to withdraw from Mengyang again, but this was because Ava's national strength was too far from the Ming Dynasty, and it had little to do with his own ability.

Yesterday afternoon, when he found that there were troops surrounding the city of Ava, and there were still a large number of them, he immediately recruited the young men and women in the city, regardless of gender, and recruited a total of 30,000 people, mixed with the 10,000 troops who stayed in the city of Ava to defend the city, and successfully inflicted certain losses on the Han soldiers who drove the Ava people to fill the earth.

"This must be the Ming army is about to officially start attacking the city!" Narota said to the generals beside him: "Let the men and the army go to the city at once, and prepare dung water, hot oil, and rolling wood and stones." ”

"Yes, Lordship." The military general said.

Narota then ordered a few more things for them to prepare at once. When the order was finished, he straightened the helmet on his head, walked to the city wall and looked at the people and the Ming army below, and said to himself: "If you can come back tomorrow to attack the city, give me another night I will be enough to train the people, although the field battle out of the city is still not successful, but the defense of the city is not much different from ordinary soldiers." ”

He looked at the place where the banner of the word 'Min' and the banner of the word 'Mu' were erected: "I don't know who saw my plan, and when the battle is over, I must know this person." ”
