178 The final winner
"Pursuit! Pursuit! ”
After the battle loss rate in the era of cold weapons exceeds 30%, it is very likely that an army will show signs of collapse.
Even after the night fell, even after the night fell, regardless of the consumption of his own physical strength and weakened strength, he resolutely and resolutely continued to exert pressure on the opposing army, approaching step by step, and finally lasted from the early morning of the day to the sun about to rise on the second day, which made the war take a turn.
The continuous pressure and advancement in the middle of the night gradually collapsed the morale of the soldiers of the Burmese army, who were already backward in the command system at the bottom, and the soldiers of the Burmese army could not feel the overall situation of their army without a vision.
Eventually, it is unknown which part of the Burmese army began to break and flee, and the situation was no longer under the control of Mata, the Burmese general.
Everyone is blindly obedient, and they have always been at a disadvantage, and the Burmese army that the Beihongtang army pressed and fought, and from the moment it began to break and flee, defeat was no longer something that could be stopped.
"Steady! Steady! ”
"Who dares to take a step back, Lao Tzu cut off his head!"
Obviously has an advantage in troops, but in actual combat, it can't be fully exerted, even if the cavalry in his hands is filled, but it is still difficult to break the general in front of him, and Mata looks decadent and ashamed!
He brandished his weapon like crazy, and when he saw a soldier fleeing in a hurry, he chased after him and slashed at him, trying to restore everyone's morale, but in the end he could not stop the Burmese fighters from collapsing.
"My lord, I'm not afraid of no firewood in the green mountains!"
If it weren't for the guards around Mata who grabbed Mata so that he couldn't get out of everyone's sight, I am afraid that Mata would have been unable to find Mata in this chaotic night.
"Fuck off, don't stop me!"
"Kill! Kill! ”
Mata, who was already a little insane, slashed with his weapon in his hand, and was entrusted with the important task by King Thron, and when he went south from the city of Ava to the city of Bago, he was full of ambition and vigor; However, Mata, who went north to rescue Ava City this time, was full of frustration and despair, and if even the 15,000 Burmese soldiers in his hands were lost in this battle, Mata could fully predict that his future would be miserable.
Don't look at the way King Talon believes in himself now, the army losses and unfavorable battles caused by his southward movement, coupled with the loss of the most powerful reinforcements in the country this time, several culpables have accumulated, and with the character of King Talon and others, he will inevitably send himself to the guillotine with his own hands.
Several of Mata's guards looked around at each other, the sound of slashing was getting closer, and it was not too far from where they were at this time, whether it was out of loyalty to Mata, the general, or out of the selfishness of a few people to survive, they should also do something.
“……”
In the silence, the first to do it was the captain of the pro-soldiers, after making eye contact with several subordinates, taking advantage of the fact that Mata who was shouting nonsense was not paying attention, he raised his hand and pinched and slashed at the back of Mata Mata's neck, and Mata slowly fell down, and was easily caught by several guards who had been prepared.
"Let's go!"
The captain of the guard did not hesitate at night, turned back to his horse, supported Mata behind him and tied him together, and gave an order, and led the way into the depths of the vast night.
"The general ran away! The general ran away! ”
I don't know when, without Mata's hoarse shouts, it was gradually noticed by the Burmese fighters who still persisted, and some people began to circulate in the ranks, and even the Nahongtang soldiers took the opportunity to heckle and shout.
The sky gradually turned white, and the remaining soldiers of the Burmese army, after losing their main general, Mata, finally collapsed and turned into birds and beasts.
"Keep the pursuit!"
Tang Ren and their backbones, in the stalemate battle at night, also spontaneously walked to the front line, following their classmates to attack the Burmese army, at this time everyone had a tired look on their faces, but they still relentlessly led the army, chasing after what they could detect and discover, and the largest group of Burmese troops began to flee.
The victory of this battle came more from the perseverance of the will of the Hongtang soldiers, who waited for several days of long-distance marching and other pursuits, and then fought day and night, such a large physical and mental consumption was an impossible thing to put in any other army. But what happened to the Hongtang army, in the eyes of the Tang people, their regiment commanders and battalion commanders, was still logical and normal.
Behind them, there was also a remnant of the Sori Burmese division that was chasing their footsteps, and Tang Ren hoped to destroy this reinforcement army that had gone north to support the Burmese royal capital as quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly as possible before the other party arrived, so that it would be difficult for it to reorganize into a support army.
The Burmese soldiers running ahead suddenly found that they had become a talisman for their fleeing teams in droves. Behind the larger the fleeing team, the more crazy and powerful the Han army that pursued them, and there was a great posture of not looking back until the goal was reached.
Gradually, the Burmese warriors, who were extremely shrewd in small areas and anxious to escape, began to break away from the large ranks one after another, and instead burrowed into the jungle in groups of three or five, or a dozen people, until they finally found that the army of the Hongtang Han had gone straight away, and did not pursue these small deserters at all, these routs were relieved.
Seeing that it was only fifty or sixty miles away from the Ava king, the Hongtang army stopped its footsteps and found a nearby Burmese tribe, and after slaughtering and driving away the Burmese people, they began to rest.
When the Sori-Burmese Army, which took the initiative to abandon the Bago City and followed the footsteps of the Hongtang army, rushed to the battlefield where the Hongtang army and the Mata army were fighting, all that caught their eyes was a mess and the remnants of the division, but it was already a step too late.
Sori never thought that their Burmese people would lose such a large distance to the Han army on the foot, because they were worried that they would be ambushed by the Hongtang army in the dark night, and waited until the next day when the sky was bright before leaving the city, Sori was thrown away by the Hongtang army for a day's journey.
He thought that he was already chasing the Han army in front of him, but in the end, after a big battle, the army he led and waited for was late, but it made Sori feel a lot of feelings and at the same time, he was full of all kinds of powerlessness.
In addition to cleaning up the battlefield where the two sides had no time to take care of in order to chase the rout, and containing the scattered and disoriented troops around the battlefield, Sori finally found that they had been chasing for so long, and in the end they could not do anything.
