Chapter 433: Anabilon

The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of Zhongxing Road at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

When Anabilon learned that Xiao Xuan had led the team again in only about three months, he had approached from Yingtian's direction from Chengdu to the border around Longchuan, and he also became nervous. If Xiao Xuan only led the team to approach Chengdu, it can be interpreted as still living in internal inspections, but if he approached the Longchuan area, it would be completely different, which means that those elite teams may take action at any time. Although the border area between Ming and Myanmar still seems to be at the turn of spring and summer as it approaches the first lunar month, it is still a dry season after all, and the bonus of weather, water and soil is still not absolutely safe.

Anabilon came to power during a period of military prosperity for Myanmar. Since Burma firmly controlled many border areas in the Ming-Burma conflict during the Wanli period, it was reluctant to further stimulate the Ming Dynasty, especially at this time, the Ming Dynasty was in full swing, and it was by no means the eventful autumn in history.

During the high-level final discussion, Anabilon said to several other generals and even ministers: "Regarding the military situation in the Longchuan area, I believe you should also have some news. Do you think this time, should we send those remnants of defectors out of the country in exchange for the trust of the Son of Heaven, or should we cooperate with them in taking action? ”

In fact, in the past, many of the generals under Anabilon certainly knew that it was very unwise to easily offend such a big country that was not contained by external troubles, and even if they succeeded, they were likely to become scapegoats for some other forces in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

But now, after more news was exposed along the border, the voice of the main battle suddenly increased: "Your Excellency Qiqi, the minister thinks that it is time to make a decision." If that great emperor personally led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to approach the border, then we really didn't have any chance. We judged that the elite troops around the great tomorrow were really good. Even if there are 10,000 people, and in an unfavorable environment, even if our army concentrates 100,000 troops to fight, there is no absolute chance of victory. However, the great emperor was so big that he only brought one or two thousand elite soldiers, and the number of troops temporarily stationed in the border area did not increase, and he couldn't even get together three thousand soldiers in total, and he still provoked trouble on the border, that is, he took the initiative to find death. ”

Of course, at this time, there were also some voices against sending troops: "If we ambush the pro-army of the Great Tomorrow and support those remnants, can we avoid the crusade that may follow later?" Today's Ming Dynasty is by no means comparable to any previous Han dynasty, and even the Mengyuan Dynasty of the year cannot be compared with them. Even if it is mired in internal strife, we will definitely get into trouble. ”

It's just that at this time, a general who had been to the border took out an item that attracted the attention of many people: "Have you ever seen this kind of weapon?" ”

It seemed to be a barrel that did not spread out, delicately containing hundreds of artifacts that seemed to be like small steel arrows: "They, that is, the personal guards of the Great Tomorrow, have a unique firearm, which can be carried on the shoulders when launched and have great power, and can launch these hundreds of blowgun weapons at a time at a speed like a three-eyed gun, and it is difficult to resist ordinary armor or simple wooden shields at close range." They are also capable of firing a steel spearhead that resembles a powerful crossbow arrow, and is almost as powerful as a bed crossbow, making it difficult for ordinary car shields to resist. If we capture a lot of new equipment in the confrontation with these people, especially if we also capture a lot of craftsmen who followed this time, then the strength of our army may be improved at a higher level, and there will be no need to be afraid of the Ming Dynasty in the future... ”

Although Anabilon was not a self-made figure, he was by no means an amateur in military affairs, and knew that the Ming-Burma border was to a large extent more complex than the geographical transportation of the Ming-Vietnam border. If the Ming Dynasty invaded Burma, at best it could only maintain an offensive force of about 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers at the same time. Of course, the attack of tens of thousands of elite soldiers is still not something that the Burmese army can absolutely deal with at this time, and if it is not done well, it will let itself waste its national strength and give opportunities to the surrounding regimes.

However, if one's own army can obtain some extremely advanced force, and can easily defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the other side with a small number of troops and costs, then it can be completely invincible in Burma and even in the southwest, and even it may not be impossible to unify the entire southeast.

As a monarch, it is not difficult for Anabilon to think that if such an elite weapon is in his own hands, the consolidation of the position of the king and even the organizational power of the entire country will obviously be raised to a higher level.

In this way, Anabilon finally made up his mind to start a showdown. Of course, the conditions also exist, that is, those fish that have escaped the net in the vicinity of the Ming-Burma border must jump out first, at least to a large extent, consume the opponent's firepower and men, increase the wounded of the other side, and even in such weather, it is likely that the appearance of the wounded will bring the possibility of epidemics, and the main force led by them can carry out operations later.

After the decision of the showdown was made, the war machine that seemed to be completely different from the previous one in the whole of Burma began to operate, and troops from all over the country were also transferred to the direction of Longchuan at this time. Because the Ming-Burma War, which lasted not so short a few decades ago, there were daily hoards and even reserves in many of the newly conquered places, and the movement of large armies within their control would not face too many problems, at least during the dry season.

Of course, Anabilon also made a clear principle: that is, if the "fish" had not become arrogant in the previous victory and "took the bait" according to his expectations, he would never have led a large army to attack Longchuan.

Even if you have a superiority of dozens of times, it is one thing to ambush in the field under complex terrain, but it is another thing to attack the enemy territory in depth. After all, his own regime is not a regime like the Ming Dynasty, and if he loses his hand in a large-scale gamble and is calculated by the other party, it is likely to bring unbearable consequences. Only by having fighters in a place that you can influence and control can you minimize the risk of accidents.

At this time, Xiao Xuan did begin to lead the assembled team to approach the area near Tianma Pass. In this area, even the winter in the Central Plains seems to be like early summer, which makes the team carrying a lot of baggage feel hot when marching, and the mosquitoes that are still inextinguishable can bring a lot of trouble to the team during the day. Fortunately, a team of less than 2,000 people, who spared no expense in concentrating a lot of resources, also prepared a lot of deworming drugs. The burning smoke accompanied the entire queue, and the specially bred dragonflies were also flying around, which finally reduced the difficulty to a minimum.
