Chapter Thirty-Six: The Rebels Attack The Coalition Forces Cooperate to Counterattack

The Burmese king's envoy returned to the Burmese army camp and showed the Burmese king the signed agreement in Chinese characters and Chinese characters, the Burmese king's hands trembled a little, although the Burmese king knew that the conditions he offered would be welcomed by the Ming army, but he still did not expect the agreement to be signed so quickly. The king of Burma carefully read the agreement twice, took out the big seal and stamped it.

Wu Naiwen said: "Your Majesty, I went to the Ming army ship to see it, I was shocked! The wind on their ship was cold, and the lights they lit were also called electric lights, and they were very bright without a single firework. The cannons on their ships were so big that we couldn't fight them. ”

"Hmmm! It seems that we were right to surrender! The King of Burma nodded.

"And!" "They want to invite us to live on the ship, you see?" ”

"Huh?" The Burmese king was stunned for a moment, "Go to live on the ship?" ”

"The condition on board is excellent! They say it's safer! ”

"Hmmm! I think about it, you still call all the generals over, we have to control this little capital! The Burmese king did not immediately answer whether he would get on the ship of the Ming army.

The rest of the generals came to the king of Burma, and after bowing down, the king invited them to sit down and said to them, "I am very grateful that you are here today." I think everyone has heard that Abierruth rebelled in Ava. Some followed him. The rest of the soldiers were loyal to the king. When this king puts down the rebellion, you will all be meritorious men. At that time, the king will reward you greatly. One more thing, I would like to inform you that today we have reached a peace agreement with the Ming army, that is, we will no longer fight with the Ming army. ”

This last sentence made the generals below breathe a sigh of relief, because they knew that if they fought down, they would be sent to death. Those who ran away did not necessarily follow the rebellion, but many followed the flight for their lives.

The Burmese king also saw everyone's expressions, and immediately said, "The Ming army has promised us to cooperate with us to quell the rebellion." Their brigade is about to arrive. With the cooperation of the Ming army, those rebels will soon be exterminated, and there is nothing wrong with you following this king, this is the most correct choice. ”

The generals were a little stunned one by one, this was a mortal enemy who was fighting to the death just now, how could they immediately cooperate with us in the battle. The Burmese generals were a little confused. However, there is one thing they understand, now that the Ming army is so close to them, they will be killed and wounded by 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the Ming army brigade is coming, if they don't sign an armistice agreement with others, they can in turn wipe them all out. Therefore, when these generals listened to the words of the Burmese king, their hearts were very complicated.

The generals said: We obey the king, and when the king says to fight, we will fight to the death; The king said that if he did not fight, we would listen to the king.

When the king of Burma heard that the generals were determined in this way, he was very satisfied, and he found the feeling of being a king again.

Then Wu Nai Win said to the generals: "We will soon move our troops in the direction of the docks, and if the anti-thief army moves closer to us, the artillery of the Ming army will support us." ”

The generals were talking again, because it was too dramatic to cut together, and the artillery of the Ming army just now was still their deadly nemesis, and now they had to cover them again. The generals were a little confused all of a sudden.

Wu Naiwen said to the lieutenant general: "In military matters, you can share your majesty's worries more!" Let Your Majesty rest. ”

The adjutant general glanced at the king of Burma, and the king of Burma waved his hand to signal to carry it out!

The generals all left their seats.

The King of Burma is in a mixed mood now, both a little relaxed and a little uneasy. It's easy because my life is not in danger. But as soon as I relaxed, I had to think about the future, the future, but I really didn't know what would happen. There will be no suspense for the Ming army to cooperate with themselves to defeat the anti-thief, but after defeating the anti-thief, he will hand over Myanmar to the Ming army, which is really unwilling! If you are unwilling, you can't do it! Since the Ming army was promised, the Ming army would not give up. Besides, with the military strength of the Ming army, it is not possible if you don't agree. The Burmese king was also glad that he had signed an agreement with the Ming army so quickly, otherwise, those thieves might not have signed an agreement with the Ming army, in that case, he would be in danger.

The army outside moved quickly, and the whole camp began to move, and the big tent where the king of Burma was resting was also moving in the direction of the dock. Wu Naiwen came in and asked the king of Burma: "Your Majesty, how do we reply to the Ming army, do we want to live on the ship?" It's best to give them an answer before dark! ”

"Alas! It is quite possible that we will not be free when we get on the boat! The Burmese King sighed and said.

"Are we free now?" Wu Naiwen said, "Soon, if the Ming army doesn't give us food, we will run out of food!" ”

"yes!" The king of Burma said, "Let's take a gamble, and we'll stay on the boat tonight." ”

Arriving on the ship, the Burmese king was warmly received by the captain. The captain arranged a separate room for him, with bathing equipment and air conditioning, which the Burmese king had never seen and could not imagine. The soft light was something the Burmese king had never seen before. After taking a good bath, he came to the dining room to attend the captain's reception dinner, and the king of Burma was already glorious again. The fact that the Burmese king understood that the Ming army could treat him like this shows that they are sincere in cooperating with him.

The next morning, the king of Burma was glad at his wise decision. Because hundreds of thousands of rebels have already surrounded them. At breakfast, the captain informed the king of Burma of the news, which shocked him to no longer eat. The captain said, "Your Majesty, rest assured! No matter how many of them come, they can't help us. Yesterday, we have sent people in front of your army's positions and arranged a large number of **. And this afternoon, our brigade will be there. That's when we counterattacked. ”

"Good!" The Burmese king even said yes.

Wu Naiwen snorted with his nose and said, "These guys, when they attacked the Ming army, they didn't move so quickly!" ”

The Burmese king smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe! The Ming army will hand them over to this king to deal with. ”

Just as the king of Burma had just finished breakfast and was tasting the green tea brewed by the captain, suddenly there was an explosion outside the restaurant window. The king of Burma's face turned pale all at once.

It turned out that Abyyalu had long coveted the king's throne, and he knew that the Burmese king was constantly waging wars, and the civil and military forces and the people were very dissatisfied, but the king was too violent, and the methods of suppressing opponents were very cruel, and everyone did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, so Abyyalu also took advantage of this and took advantage of the defeat of the northern Burmese army to prepare a coup d'état. Unexpectedly, the secret matter still leaked out, but fortunately, the king of Burma didn't know the truth and didn't dare to do it first, but secretly left. The rebels rushed into the palace and killed the Burmese king's family one by one, but did not find the Burmese king, so that Abiyalu believed that the Burmese king had indeed escaped. This was simply fatal to Abiyaroth, and once the Burmese king escaped, he would summon the generals loyal to him to fight back, and it was difficult to say whether the outcome would be known. Abiyalu quickly killed all the loyal ministers of Ava who were valued by the king of Burma, and then personally commanded more than 100,000 horses and chased them south along the river.

When they arrived at the periphery of the Burmese king's army, they found that the situation was a little wrong, because the Burmese king's army was not arranging an attack on the pier, but a posture of defending outward, completely using the position of the Ming army on the pier as a backing.

Abyereth summoned all the generals and said, "Leave them alone. We must attack immediately tomorrow morning, and we must not let the Burmese king escape, or we will all die without a place to be buried. If possible, we will take down the positions of the Ming army together. ”

A general who participated in the attack on the Ming army said: "The firepower of the Ming army is too strong. It's hard for us to rush through with our flesh and blood,....."

Before the man could finish speaking, Abiyaroth interrupted him and said, "Tomorrow there will be a war, so don't be discouraged by others." No matter what, we have more than 100,000 people, and we can't beat them with hundreds of Ming troops, and the army of the king of Burma will not exceed 20,000 people, at most 15,000 people, and we will rush up and trample them to death! ”

Abierroth's words were so resolute that no one dared to say otherwise. They spent the night on the periphery of the Burmese king's army, forming a semi-circle of encirclement. As soon as the morning dawned, an attack was launched, and the "dong dong" sound heard by the king of Burma was that Abyelu and their forwards stepped on the **.

Although Abiariroth's army was gathered from all over the world, when they attacked, the overseers attacked with their soldiers, and if they found that they were unable to advance in battle, they could be immediately executed. So the soldiers had to move forward, and no one dared to stop and treat the wounded soldiers who were not killed and fell to the ground and howled.

Abierrod's army, when they passed through the minefield, left dead bodies everywhere, but the soldiers rushed over. When the soldiers overflowed the minefield and entered the anti-infantry ** minefield, the anti-infantry ** blew up a large number of soldiers. Abyarul had never seen such a scene, and he hastened to order the attack to be halted, and the first attack was stopped before it could reach the soldiers of the Burmese king.

The Burmese king's army had just finished such a battle, and this time they saw how such a battle was fought from a different angle. They all felt that it was too hard luck, the Burmese king and the Ming army reconciled, they did not die in the battlefield war, otherwise they would have died worthless like the soldiers who fell in front. The soldiers of the Burmese king knew that the artillery of the Ming army had not yet fired, and many methods had not been used.

Abyeloth's attack did not return more than 6,000 men and lay on the front position. Abyereth told the generals that the soldiers in front of us had already finished their journey, and that the next attack would be easier for us. However, when we approached the front of the opponent's position, we asked the officers and men to launch a charge early and rush into the opponent's position as soon as possible.

The second time, when Abyeroth's army attacked, the cannons on the warships in Yaogang spoke, and after some abuse by airburst shells, they used *** again. The soldiers who barely rushed through the fire were cared for by mortars and heavy machine guns from the kilns, and the rest were dealt with by the soldiers of the King of Burma with muskets and bows and arrows. The soldiers on the kiln position basically had no chance to shoot.

Abierroth's second attack, which left behind more than 8,000 men, retreated.

In the afternoon, Abiyaroth launched a third attack, this time with a more resolute attack, and once some soldiers rushed to the positions of the Burmese king's army. The Yaogang Marine Corps, which sent more than 30 people, rushed up to support and assisted the Burmese army's army to eliminate the enemy. This time, the combined forces of the Burmese army and the Ming army wiped out more than 9,000 people of Abyelloh and them, and finally repelled the attack of Abyelloh's army.

More than 20,000 people died, and Abyeloth was a little crazy, and he was about to launch a fourth attack, but the generals persuaded him not to fight like this, and told Abieloth that there were more than 50 elephants behind him, and we should wait for the elephant army to say.

Although Abiyalu knew that if he did not eliminate the Burmese king as soon as possible, his coalition army would soon collapse, but it would be ineffective to fight like this, so it was better to listen to everyone's opinions and wait for the elephant army to talk. However, Abyeloh knew that Wen Peng had already used the elephant army, but it was ineffective. But I couldn't think of any other way, so I'll wait and see.

The king of Burma has been standing on the deck of the Guangzhou, holding a telescope in his hand to watch these bloody battles, after reading it, the king of Burma felt that he was really very wise, he understood that such a Ming army was not something that the Burmese army could deal with at all.

The captain of the Canton had no interest in such a battle at all, and he communicated the situation with Jiang Wei, who was about to come, by telegram.

Jiang Wei decided to bring five hundred people to the dock, and the rest of the people, he was not going to go to the dock, he wanted to go ashore in advance, surround them from behind Abiyalu, and hit them back and forth.

The proposal was very bold, and the captain of the Canton was very supportive of the decision.

Jiang Wei was born in the special forces with Li Jingda, and he is the best at these sneak attacks and the like. They judged that they were not far from the dock, so they let a tugboat continue downstream with 500 wooden boats supporting the pier, and the rest of the boats were docked nearby, and more than 2,000 people came ashore with weapons. These people are all veterans of the Mountain Jungle Army, and when they enter the woods, they are like fish in water, and they quickly hide themselves.

Jiang Wei sent scouts out to conduct reconnaissance, and he and the two regiment commanders said: "If possible, I want to launch an attack at night to disrupt the Burmese army." It was reported earlier that there are many Burmese troops coming, and the specific number is not clear, at least tens of thousands of people, and we cannot destroy them at once, but if we disrupt them, they will not be able to besiege our dock, and when General Qin Peng and his army press over, we will destroy them together. ”

The two regiment commanders, one is a special soldier, and the other is from another army, they are both masters who are not afraid of chaos, and when they heard Jiang Wei say this, they all supported it. One said: "Don't talk nonsense, boss, what do you say, what do we do!" ”

"This bastard talks to Lao Tzu like this," Jiang Wei scolded, in fact, his own soldiers talked to himself like this at this time, Jiang Wei was happy in his heart, "If you don't do a good job, don't blame Lao Tzu for coming back to clean you up!" ”

Another regiment commander said: "Commander, this is what our jungle army should do, what do you mean by playing with those Tusi soldiers every day!" ”

"Don't be mad! If we do a good job this time, we will probably be able to finish the business in Myanmar by the end of the year. Jiang Wei said.

"Commander, listen to you like this, the matter in Myanmar is over, we still have something to do?" A regimental commander heard something.

"Hey! Do a good job! Our Mountain and Jungle Army has always wanted to be reorganized into two armies, that is, to have greater action. However, the affairs in the southwest have been haunted, and we have no time to carry out the expansion of the organization. ”

"Oops! "What is still difficult for our army," said one of the regimental commanders, "just some new recruits, and our veterans will be fine with a few battles." The soldiers of our mountain and jungle army are not given for nothing. You don't have to worry about expansion at all. ”

"Humph! It's as simple as you think! Let's all go back and rest, and when the scouts come back, we'll study tonight's events, and go back and get some sleep!" Jiang Wei drove the two regiment commanders away.

Several groups of scouts returned, bringing back their own maps, and the staff officers combined them together, and the location of the enemy's camp was very clear. The scouts also brought back the news that the enemy was very unprofessional, and that behind the camp, there were no sentinels who had been released at all, and all their energy was directed into the encirclement.

After reading the map, Jiang Wei had a good idea, pointed to a ravine, and said to the two regiment commanders: "If we disrupt the enemy, can we drive the enemy into this ditch." ”

"Our two regiments separately blocked the enemy fleeing north, leaving this opening, and the enemy at night could not understand what was going on, so they naturally went in!" Said one of the regiment commanders.

"Well, we won't rush into the enemy camp tonight, because if we go in, it will be easy to cause casualties at night, and we will cooperate with the artillery on the warship to disrupt the enemy. When the enemy is in chaos, someone must flee into this ravine. How about we set up a minefield here and wait for the enemy? Jiang Wei guided the two group leaders.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's get to work! A regimental commander said.

"We left a battalion and set up minefields in the ravine to serve the enemy, and we arranged the rest separately." Jiang Wei then arranged the tasks of each regiment in detail.

After Jiang Wei communicated with the captain of the Canton by telegraph, he sent all the troops out.

Until three o'clock in the second half of the night, when people were most sleepy, all the cannons on the Canton were pointed at the predetermined target, and when the time came, six 130-caliber cannons and two 203-caliber cannons. More than thirty more mortars were fired simultaneously on the shore, targeting the camp of Abyreth. The cannon firing on the warship is ***. The shell landed in a semi-arc and swept back again. Although Abyariruth's camp was too large to be devastating. But the power of *** is too great, and the green trees that can't usually be burned at all will soon be burned. At the same time, Jiang Wei and his men bombarded the camp from behind Abyelloh, and the light and heavy machine guns opened fire on the camp at the same time. Abiyaroth, who was beaten in a panic, did not know that the cannonballs fired from behind were powerful, and the power from the front was great, and the camp was in chaos at this time, and Abiyaroth asked his guards to inform the generals not to mess up, but no one could be found at all, and at this time a terrible phenomenon appeared, many officers and soldiers fled from the camp to the back, and those who took the lead followed them, and as a result, there was no one in the camp to treat the wounded soldiers who were crying and howling, and the officers and soldiers escaped from the camp as if they had escaped from the devil's cave. Jiang Wei and the others immediately began to block, automatic rifles and light and heavy machine guns sprayed flames at the same time, and rows of dazed soldiers fell under their guns. The soldiers who did not fall poured into the ravine left by Jiang Wei and them like a tide, and at least more than 10,000 people squeezed into the ravine, but the officers and soldiers who entered the ravine suddenly couldn't advance, it turned out that the way out in front was blocked, and the soldiers in front wanted to go back, but they couldn't go back, and they were blocked by the soldiers who poured in behind.

At this time, the battalion commander in charge of minelaying covered his eyes fiercely and ordered: "Detonate!" ”

Arranged in the ravine, all kinds of ** exploded. The battalion commander and many soldiers did not dare to see this cruel scene. The Burmese soldiers who were huddled together were blown into meat sauce at once.

At dawn, Jiang Wei came to this ravine to take a look, turned his head and left. He came to the Canton and said to the captain: "Get some more gasoline at once, pour it in that ravine, and burn it quickly!" I don't want to see that again! ”

The captain of the Guangzhou said: "I have long known that Captain Jiang has fought many vicious battles with General Li Jing, so how can there be times when I can't stand it!" ”

"Oops! Needless to say, I've never seen such a miserable situation! Jiang Wei shook his head and tried to get that scene out of his mind.

After arranging for someone to deal with this matter, the captain of the Guangzhou said to Jiang Wei: "I received the order to obey your command here. What to do next, please ask Commander Jiang to command! ”

"Haha! The two of us are welcome, let's discuss something! Jiang Wei was polite. However, what he said made the captain of the Guangzhou stunned.
