"Rubbish! Eater! ”

"Lone gave you 20,000 troops, and even the most powerful elephant soldiers in the country gave you 1,000, you bastard not only failed to hold Da Cheng City, but also let Lone's 20,000 army lose more than half, what do you want??"

In the capital of the king of Ava, the embarrassed general Sauri kneeled tremblingly and bowed down under the palace hall, bearing the wrath of King Talon like a mountain.

"Damn! You're so damned!! ”

I thought that with the great reputation of the army since the previous dynasties, even if it was not difficult for them to protect the land territory of the Burmese Kingdom, King Tarong, who dared to plot against Hongtang in secret, was now a little stunned by this big defeat.

Who would have thought that the Hongtang army would only rely on a partial division of less than 4,000 people to defeat the most fortified city in the coastal area of the Kingdom of Burma.

And as the information of the arrival of Hongtang's reinforcements was delivered to King Talon, the news that Hongtang's army, which had a scale of 15,000, was about to go north made King Long a little shocked.

From the complacent ambition of the early days to the panic after the defeat of a major war, the shortcomings of the Burmese dynasty are fully revealed.

"Your Highness, now that we are still employing people, although General Sori's improper command caused a great defeat to our army, fortunately, he also brought back nearly 10,000 soldiers, and at the same time absorbed a lot of retreating civilian labor, at least it also eliminated the shortage of our army's strength, right?"

"Moreover, General Sori has fought with the Hongtang army, and he understands the other party's means and strength better, and then expel the Hongtang Han army, and we will have more places to rely on the general."

"It's better to let him atone for his sins, lead the team to the frontline stronghold, and block the invasion of the Han bandits."

Although there are many entanglements of interests in ordinary times, before the threat of foreign enemies, everyone is still more optimistic about the ability of General Sori, who is now a rare famous general in the DPRK and China, so they have stepped forward to exonerate him.

Originally, they just hoped to put pressure on Hongmen by restricting the business of several Han chambers of commerce in Qixintang, so that they could slow down the plundering of Burma's wealth, population and other resources, but they did not expect that the final outcome would be to the point where they had no room for each other.

"Humph! If it weren't for the sake of the intercession of the Qing family, Lone would not have spared you bastard! ”

Fortunately, angry is angry, King Talon still has some brains, and at the same time, he also knows that under the reputation of Sori, he is actually quite capable, and he is more reliable than those generals in the court who are just talking about rice buckets.

"Gu Zai and your 20,000 troops will build a defense line on the front line of Bago City and intercept the Han army, can you be confident?"

"The minister will defend this city to the death!!"

Sori escaped, although he knew that the 20,000 troops might not be able to hold out for long under the attack of the opponent's military strength, but the Burmese Dynasty itself was so large, and there were many ethnic minorities in the country who did not obey the indoctrination, and it took a lot of time to recruit soldiers, and the total strength of the country was actually only about 100,000.

With the royal decree, Sori once again set foot on the way home, and unfolded his arrangement within a radius of dozens of miles centered on Bagu.

The only thing Sori could pray for was that the Han Chinese army would not carry their powerful artillery when they invaded Burma this time, otherwise with the defense of the Burmese kingdom, there would really be no way to find a few that could withstand the artillery bombardment that Da Cheng had encountered before.

Sori had already recounted the battle in Ta Rang to King Talon and the ministers of the court in detail, and he himself had been carefully summarizing the details and tactics that should be paid attention to in the battle against him in the past few days.

The artillery, which is the most threatening and inflicts the greatest damage and deterrent power on the Burmese army, has a strong flaw, that is, it is not conducive to transportation, and it is extremely difficult to carry a large number of artillery into the mountains in the mountainous terrain of the Burmese Kingdom.

There is also the Hongtang army heard that the elite naval warfare, the actual level of land warfare is unknown, although in the previous attack and defense of the city, Sori personally experienced a sharp musket that coaxed her not enough army, but in addition to positional warfare, there are many other ways in the war, such as surprise attacks, jungle warfare, and so on, which their Burmese soldiers have always been very good at.

Holding on to it, at least in the eyes of the general Sori, it is extremely undesirable, if the Han army is allowed to advance like this, then even if you have more city defense offensives, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the opponent's guns.

At this moment, their Burmese soldiers should give full play to their strengths and take the initiative to harass the attacking Han Chinese army, instead of waiting for the other side to invade.

With this in mind, Sori had a plan in mind, and he quickly put it into action.

Not long after, 10,000 of the 20,000 troops under Sori's command, led by his henchmen and generals, scattered and disappeared among the vast jungle liquids south of Bago to carry out their mission.

At the same time, Tang Ren and others, who had agreed with Zhao Simei and them to change their advance plan, soon set off for the north, and the troops were directed at the place where the city of Ava was located in the north.

"Enemy attack!"

"Be careful!"

On the way north, Tang Ren's army was not able to be idle, and countless Burmese soldiers who had become elite shot deadly bows and arrows from the jungle and swamps, and the bows and arrows were even smeared with poison, which caused a lot of trouble and losses to the Hongtang soldiers.

At the same time, the road is not very smooth, and all kinds of traps and poisonous insects also make Hongtang soldiers and their troubles, slowing down their marching rhythm, not to mention, if they are not careful, they will be attrition because of traps and poisonous insects.

"The scouts of each regiment are scattered out to give Lao Tzu a grasp of their main force, and Lao Tzu wants to make them regret attacking us!"

Tang Ren's face was unhappy, and the march along the way was constantly troubled, but fortunately, the Hongtang army focused on mountain training, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

However, under the harassment of the Burmese army, which was familiar with this primitive jungle area and extremely slippery, it was still difficult for Tang Ren's army to march.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and find anything suspicious and allow the team members to act cheaply!"

For the sake of today's plan, Tang Ren and the others can only move forward hard, at least their main team does not suffer too much loss, and it will not affect their next battle.

In the distant city of Bago, letters were sent back from the scattered generals, although they did not cause many casualties to the Han army, but they caused a delay in the enemy's time along the way, but they did not lose too much of their own strength, so that Jifang had more time to respond.
