Chapter 285: Bloody Battle of Taunggyi (Page 1/1)

Zhang Yibin nodded and said: "We are a little careless, and now we will seal the south gate overnight, otherwise it will be too cost-effective to lose Jingzhou." ”

Qin Yongchun asked, "What about the corpses in the city gate cave?" Thrown directly into the moat, this can play a role in deterring the Donghu people. ”

Zhang Yibin thought for a while and said: "No, although there is no provision in military discipline, when I came to Donghu, His Majesty the Emperor said a sentence, we are all human beings, and we are here to spread our advanced cultural methods." Laying in the ground is the least respect for life, and we can negotiate with the Tunghu people to allow them to drag the body back for burial. ”

Qin Yongchun said: "I'm afraid that they will take the opportunity to snatch the city gate." ”

Zhang Yibin said with a smile: "So we will seal the door first, and then send someone to negotiate." ”

The Ming army dragged out the corpse in the city gate hole, and then blocked the city gate hole of the south gate with stones, and just after dawn, they hung a basket from the city wall, and sent a flag commander to fall in front of the city gate, and after the suspension bridge was lowered, the flag commander took a white flag and walked towards the camp of the Donghu people.

The Donghu people were puzzled, but seeing that neither the flag commander nor the tongue man were armed, they naturally knew that they were not hostile. So one of the Taungoo people came up to ask them what they were coming to and took them to the commander of the Taungoo people.

General Chalat of Donghu was worried, and he looked at the flag commander angrily and said, "If you want to see General Ben, say something quickly." ”

The flag commander said: "Our army always has compassion, and the Donghu soldiers who died last night should ask the general to send someone to bring the body back for burial." ”

Charat looked at the flag commander carefully, wondering if the Ming army had any conspiracy, and said after a long time: "Then the general will send someone to drag the corpse, but you have to put down the drawbridge." ”

The flag commander smiled: "Of course we will lower the drawbridge, but the Donghu people who go to carry the corpses must not carry weapons, otherwise we will regard them as enemies and annihilate them mercilessly." ”

Charat laughed, "Of course, when are we going to move the corpses?" ”

The flag commander said: "I can go back to the city wall, and the corpses in the moat will also be moved, such weather, it is better not to cause epidemics." ”

Chatra asked people to carry the corpses, and when he saw that the Ming army did not attack the Donghu people at all, he moved his mind and asked people to bring some gunpowder to bury them in the city gate hole every time, preparing to let people blow up the city gate hole and attack the city after the corpses were moved.

There were about 300 corpses in total, scattered under the city walls, in the gates, and some in the moat. It took more than an hour for the Toungoo people to move the corpses almost to the end, and several Toungoo people began to cut down at the suspension bridge sling, and when they were about to cut it, one of the Toungoo people ignited the gunpowder accumulated in the city gate hole, and then ran back from the drawbridge as quickly as possible.

With an earth-shattering roar, a large hole was blown out in the city gate hole that the Ming army had just sealed, and several people were injured by the flying stones. Zhang Yibin said angrily: "These Donghu people are really hateful, and they kindly let them clean up their corpses, and they actually gave us this trick." ”

At this time, the trebuchets of the Donghu people began to fire stone projectiles to suppress the Ming army on the city wall, and the Donghu army surged up from the drawbridge and attacked the city gate hole. The Donghu people in front held a long tree trunk and pushed away the stones in the cave of the city gate, while the people in the back kept shooting arrows into the hole that had been blown out.

The Ming army was attacked by the trebuchet and the Donghu people in the city gate cave for a while, and Zhang Yibin shouted angrily: "Give me the city gate cave to guard, and the people on the city wall will come down." ”

He knew that there was no way for the Donghu people to climb over the high city wall for a while, but the blocked stones in the city gate hole had been almost cleared, so he must guard the city gate hole, and if the Donghu people rushed in, then everything would go.

So the two sides started a fierce battle in the city gate hole, the Donghu people wore rattan armor, which could reduce the damage of the bullet to the torso to a certain extent, and they learned to be obedient this time, rushing out as much as possible to make way for their companions behind.

The guards gradually could not change the ammunition in time, so Qin Yongchun took the white pole soldiers to the top, and the guards changed the dressing and released the guns in the gaps of the white pole soldiers, or directly killed the enemy with the bayonets of the fire guns.

The Ming army was constantly wounded and then dragged to the back for treatment, and Zhang Yibin commanded the Ming army to slowly retreat while fighting, so that the Donghu soldiers gradually broke into the open space on the inside of the city gate.

At this time, Chatra saw the Tunghu people rushing in, and ordered the trebuchet to stop the attack, so as not to injure his own people by mistake. Zhang Yibin was overjoyed, so he asked the guards to climb up to the inside of the city wall and shoot at the Donghu people below from above.

Although the Ming army killed and wounded a large number of Donghu people, the Donghu people did not seem to care about life and death, and rushed forward with a wild scream, completely ignoring the whistling bullets and shiny white guns.

Zhang Yibin secretly complained, he knew that he was still careless, out of good intentions, but let the Donghu people take the opportunity to clean up the road, and at the same time cut the sling, which is equivalent to inviting the other party to attack, although the Ming army's weapons are far stronger than the Donghu people, but after all, the number of people is too small, the charging time is too long, in the face of the surging Donghu people's hearts are more than enough and their strength is insufficient, it seems that they can only defend the grain depot and wait for reinforcements.

It was almost noon, and the Donghu people had occupied an area about 200 paces long and 100 paces wide on the inside of the south gate. Zhang Yibin wanted to use the explosives bag to throw it from the city to the center of the Donghu people, but there was no way to get the explosives bag for a while.

At this time, Xiong Tianyi came out of nowhere, carrying an explosive bag and ran to the city, after going to the city, I lit the explosive bag and shouted: "Be careful! So he threw the bag of explosives in the middle of the people of Donghu.

Two seconds later, the explosive bag exploded, and the Donghu people near the landing site were blown to pieces, and the surrounding people were also swept to the ground by the air wave. The Ming army heard Xiong Tianyi's warning, and the soldiers in front quickly slammed into the ground, but no one was injured.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Donghu people being stunned, the Ming army rushed forward with a shout, killing the Donghu people who fell to the ground, and the guards behind seized the time to bomb, preparing to wait for the next fight.

The explosives bag killed and injured about 30 people, causing more people to fall to the ground, and the Ming army eliminated a total of 50 or 60 Donghu people. The remaining Donghu people were stunned for a while, and finally did not dare to attack again, and fled to the city gate cave with a bang.

However, the Donghu people outside were still rushing inside, and for a while, the Donghu people were stuck in the city gate, and they couldn't enter or get out. Zhang Yibin was overjoyed, so he let the guards shoot with firearms, and when the Donghu people finally squeezed out of the city gate, Xiong Tianyi threw another explosive bag on the suspension bridge, blowing the drawbridge to pieces, and the Donghu people on the bridge were blown up everywhere.
