174 Hunt and Containment

"Hahaha, it is estimated that the group of guys in Bago City should have also received a report from their royal capital, so I don't know how they should choose?"

Outside Bago City, Tang Ren, who had never made much of a move, used binoculars to observe the gradually rising riots in Bago City, and smiled heartily at each other.

"Hehe, I really think that just this small city can stop the offensive of my Hongtang army, so where do we have the courage to attack their country?"

Shi Peicai replied with a smile on his face.

After Tang Ren, Shi Peicai and Zhao Simei converged, they had already decided to bring the Burmese dynasty to its knees as quickly as possible at the lowest cost, and finally formulated this tactic of attacking the east and the west.

Tang Ren and the others are not crazy, where is it not clear that with the strength in their hands, if they want to occupy a country with an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, it is simply a fantasy.

The original intention of the Hongtang military department to send them to attack the Kingdom of Burma was to promote peace with war, not only to teach the Kingdom of Burma a heavy lesson, but also to give a good show to the officials of the king of the indigenous kingdom in Southeast Asia.

"Next, it's time to see Zhao Simei and others in Ava City, I hope all actions can develop according to plan!"

The grinning Shi Peicai and the other group leader, while the two of them were smiling, they also exuded jealousy that Zhao Simei had a good opportunity this time.

"Don't envy others, our task is not easy, and it is unknown how the Burmese army generals in front of us should choose, but we must at least bite the other party's gossip when the other party is vainly trying to return to help, so that it cannot get what he wants."

Tang Ren knew the inner thoughts of the other two colleagues, but at this time, he reminded them emphatically.

"Don't worry, we've been looking forward to Old Tang's general attack order!"

Shi Peicai smiled, rubbed his hands, and replied eagerly.

In the far north of Muge City, there are countless traces of war scattered on the city walls, and there are pools of blood and corpses flowing on the ground, and the soldiers of the Hongtang army, who have just completed a tough battle, are stepping up their time to take care of the battlefield and search for the casualties of the enemy and our soldiers.

Next, they marched rapidly and continued to march northeast, directly attacking the royal city of Ava, which was more than two hundred miles away.

"Leave 500 soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the soldiers pack up."

"Ready to go!"

Zhao Simei's whole person was magnificent, although she experienced hardships along the way, and the rapid march brought great physical losses to the team, but it did not have much impact on the morale of the soldiers.

Most of the Burmese towns faced along the way were empty in defense and insufficient in troops, and they failed to bring too much trouble and obstacles to the raiding Hongtang Zhao Simei, and even did not learn of the arrival of Zhao Simei until they were killed under Muge City, the Burmese king of Ava City, and his ministers.

When they arrived at Muge City, as the first gateway to the Ava King City, Zhao Simei and the others wasted some effort, delaying half a day and a night, before they could be regarded as completely in their hands.

didn't care about counting the material reserves in Muge City, and at this time, Zhao Simei, who saw that it was dark at one o'clock at noon, quickly issued an order to continue approaching.

This time they arrived at Sittwe Port by warship, and then moved to the city of Ava Wangcheng, Zhao Simei and they did not have any manpower left in Daxiang City, and after the fleet of Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce arrived at Daxiang City, they gave them all the supplies and prisoners, and took the remaining soldiers directly to the north.

At this time, he still had more than 4,000 troops in his hands, and he was only more than 200 miles away from the city of Ava, and he was confident that he would lead the army to appear under the city within three days, and the main forces of the other party stationed in the city of Bago would not be able to rush back in time.

Moreover, with Tang Ren and their containment, it is not easy for the other party to withdraw safely to rescue Wang Du.

The scene then shifts to the city of Bago, at this time the two generals in the city, Sori and Mata, have completed their discussions with each other and are preparing to divide their troops into two routes: 10,000 Burmese warriors led by Sori will continue to be stationed in Bago City to delay the attack of the Han army in Hongtang; There were also more than 15,000 people led by Mata, who immediately returned to the city of Ava, hoping to rush back to the city of Ava before the Han army.

"If you can't do anything, General Sori, you can abandon Bago City, and according to your previous plan, you can contain the march of the Han army in the field."

Before Mata left, he still told Sori uneasily, he knew that he had taken away the most elite soldiers in Bago City on this trip, and that all he had left for Sori was a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and the pressure must be extremely great. ”

"As long as the general insists on our army coming back to help and repel another Han army, it will be a great achievement, and this official will truthfully ask for credit for the general!"

"The last general will definitely do his best to contain this Han army, and please ask the general to return to help with peace of mind!"

Sori nodded in response.

"Precious!"

"Precious!"

The north gate in the city was opened, and the long procession headed towards the far north, and at this time, Tang Ren and other troops of the Hongtang army, which had been waiting for a long time, finally made a big move.

As the horn sounded, the officers and men of the Hongtang army position all set out, and under the leadership of the non-commissioned officers of each team, they bypassed Bago City and were about to chase after the Burmese army.

"Attack with all your might, stop each other!"

Sori saw it clearly in the city, and he was also prepared, even if he sent out half of the elite who only had 10,000 soldiers in his hands.

"You're waiting, do you really think that our army is just going to take a fancy to the opponent who slipped out of the city?"

Tang Ren and the others sat in the rear, watching the gate of Bago City open and a Burmese army came out of it, but at this time they had a look of joy on their faces.

"Blow the trumpet! Change formations! ”

Tang Ren, who was calm and calm, did not continue to give orders until more than 2,000 troops came out of the opposite city.

As another long horn sounded, the Hongtang army, which was originally about to make a detour, suddenly changed from rear to front, and rushed towards the Burmese army that was chasing after them.

"Kill!!"

The shouts of battle suddenly resounded in this field, startling countless birds and beasts.

On the northern land, Ma Ta, who was riding a horse, listened to the fierce fighting behind him, and no longer saw the figure of the Hongtang army that followed before, his expression was solemn and resolute, and his heart was filled with a faint worry and gratitude.

This gesture was only a fleeting moment, and then he whipped his horse's hips and shouted at the same time: "All the army is on speed!" ”
