Chapter 31: The Zhao Orphan (6)

……

By the time the vanguard of the Ming army could overlook the city of Ava, the jewel in the crown of the king of Donghu had been burned to the ground. Even if you can't see what's going on inside the city, you can feel with your nose and ears that the city is going through a catastrophe.

Everywhere there was the light of the fire that rushed to the sky and the black smoke that came out of the firelight and went straight to the sky, even if it was a few miles away, Sun Chongya could hear the cries of the people in the city. As the leader of the army who robbed Yongli and his party in history, Sun Chongya knows very well what his Burmese counterparts are doing.

It's a pity that Li Dingguo is extremely strict in governing the army, although it can't reach the level of PLA to help the people chop wood and fetch water, but the barrage is equivalent to sending the head to Li Dingguo's Huang Yue. What's more, most of the generals who excluded him were the generals under King Jin, and Li Dingguo's eating appearance was quite good--- this time he attacked Ava, Li Dingguo ordered his troops to be the forward, maybe he wanted to give him some credit to balance it.

Just let the thought of death pass through his mind for a while, Sun Chongya smoothed his chest and took a deep breath, and sent his own soldiers to give the order.

When Sun Chongya left the forbidden army, he took with him four hundred personal soldiers, and these people were the only force that Sun Chongya could trust. No matter how strict Li Dingguo was in governing the army, Sun Chongya also tilted the military salary and materials he received as much as possible towards these 400 people. Facing these veterans who had been born and died with him for several years, he cried out without knowing whether it was true or not.

Seeing that the general was crying, several generals went up to comfort him, and it took a while for him to stop his tears.

Sun Chongya wiped his face with his sleeve and "forced" to suppress a little crying in his voice: "Sons." ”

"In!" The voices of the four hundred people were uniform, causing the birds in the surrounding trees to scream in fright.

"Since we came to the Jin King's army, although the Jin King has led us well, what have their men done to us?"

Sun Chongya suddenly exhaled her vocal cords to the maximum volume, and made a constantly reverberating sound with her big waist and round belly.

The soldiers whispered, but it was clear that the expressions on their faces indicated that they were not as good as the little ones. 、

"Actually, everyone knows it." Sun Chongya paused for a moment, "But, why are there so many troops in the army, only we are treated like this?" ”

"Do you think that we are not the descendants of King Jin?"

When the general said this, some petty officers who thought they were clever took the initiative to take the lead.

"The word of the Lord is exceedingly true..."

"Those old men who are biased by King Jin for everything."

"King Jin..."

Sun Chongya saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and hurriedly stopped:

"Put your mother's P!" Sun Chongya saw that the situation was getting more and more uncontrollable, and couldn't help but scold downward. If the words of these people get out, the king of Jin will take this and cut off his head, and he won't be able to wash it when he jumps into the river!

"Are you dying? King Jin is loyal and righteous, how can he be so small-bellied? A few years ago, how did Sun Shun squeeze out King Jin, and when did King Jin not tolerate it? After all, there are still some people who think that we will only protect Your Majesty and will not fight! ”

"Fuck it, we also have a share of the exploits of Mopan Mountain, why do they look down on us?"

"If we don't guard Your Majesty, how can they fight with peace of mind?"

All kinds of whitewashing remarks for oneself are flying all over the sky, and here they are all their own people, complaining to each other and complaining to each other, which makes the atmosphere warm all of a sudden.

Sun Chongya patiently waited for the resentment of these people to ferment, and waited until some people couldn't help but wave their fists before they could open their golden mouths: "Actually, those people look down on us, and it makes sense." ”

Without waiting for anyone to question it, Sun Chongya continued: "What other big battles did we fight before Mopanshan? I don't remember, everyone has almost forgotten about it, right? The army, naturally, is who fights well and who is powerful. King Jin asked us to be in the front of the line, just to give us a chance to prove ourselves. ”

"After everyone and I left the forbidden army, I suffered a lot of grievances, in order to make everyone less wronged, I took other people's military salaries and materials to subsidize everyone, but in this way, those people will not be willing to obediently obey me, most of them will be disobedient, and the responsibility for the defeat of the war will be on me, so I only let everyone be with me."

"Although we only have 400 people, we already have our internal response to the fight in the city like that. As soon as we arrive, the city gate will be opened, and then the Burmese king, who does not know the height of the sky, will be arrested, tied up and thrown at the feet of the king of Jin, who will dare to look down on us from now on? ”

"Even the kind of miscellaneous soldiers in Burma who have never touched a spear for a few days, among our people, even an auxiliary soldier with armor on his back is not as good, can't we beat the auxiliary soldiers?"

On the one hand, he exaggerated the merits, and on the other hand, he used his mouth to reduce the difficulty, and Sun Chongya successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of the pro-soldiers.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. In order to make the best use of this enthusiasm, Sun Chongya sent a personal soldier to inform the king of Jin, and he himself led 400 people to "rush" to Ava.

It's not so much a rush as a trot. In an era when the average daily march is less than 20 kilometers, such a trot is already fast.

The first fifty men carried short birds and spears on their backs, acting as the vanguard of the whole team. They carry the heaviest weapons, so the body is naturally the best. Originally, these people were supposed to surround Sun Chongya's side, but now they were put in front as sharp soldiers. Sun Chongya knows very well that in the pattern of street fighting, if the vision is not good enough, many people will not be able to protect themselves from death.

Zhao Gongfan carried two palm thunders in his arms, an iron-tired bow on his back, and a melee weapon only had a waist knife. As a general flag officer belonging to the general's own soldiers, Zhao Jianfan's nutrition was enough to support his hands to pull the iron-tire bow. He held his waist knife tightly in both hands, and he was ready to use the Burmese as a live grass target to use archery.

He has been influenced by his family tradition to practice martial arts since he was a child, and his fingers are full of calluses left by drawing the bow, even if it is a strong bow like an iron tire bow, Zhao Jingfan has also had the experience of twenty arrows a minute. To a certain extent, his official position as the general banner was pulled out by his pair of unicorn arms.

But since the emperor made people make some "flintlock pistols", those bird gunners who have changed to new guns have begun to praise how good their eating guys are, "This thing in our hands is much more powerful than bows and arrows, although no one can fight fast, but we can put down and draw a bow even if you are wrapped in several layers of armor?" Let the white-armored soldier of the Tartar stand a hundred paces away, and the one who draws the bow may not be able to shoot him to death even thirty paces? It's soft and weak, what's the use? ”

Zhao Zhifan clearly remembered how the skinny monkey-like bird-slewmen laughed at them, and of course he remembered the scars on his body that were still a little painful.

"Uncle Ben has to prove to you stupid guys today that bows and arrows are much more useful than those Rausch flintlock shotguns!"

His back shuddered, and the bowstring that had just been wound whirred in the air.
