689 The Zhennan Army won a complete victory
On April 18, the 26th year of Wanli, on the 18th day of the main force of the Zhennan Army, Yuan Huang led the main force of the Zhennan Army of 50,000 to break the main force of the Mongol coalition army of 60,000 in the south of Arakan, and the Mon coalition army was beheaded more than 3,000 people, more than 20,000 people were captured, and the whole army was annihilated.
At the same time, because Yuan Huang's envoy brought 3,000 foot soldiers from Ma Chong, the deputy general of the White Tiger Battalion of the Zhennan Army, to join Ming Yesaji's team to help in the battle, Ming Yesaji, the king of Arakan, who determined the sincerity of the Ming army's cooperation, led 20,000 soldiers from the capital to the south, intending to take the opportunity to regain the lost territory.
As a result, they were met with strong resistance from the three northern tribes of the Mon people, the attack was blocked, Ming Ye Suoji was greatly disgraced, and in desperation, he turned to the Zhennan army for help, Ma Chong led 3,000 men and horses to break down the defense line of the Mon coalition army with a charge, and Ming Ye Suoji quickly let the troops keep up, and finally won a complete victory.
The three tribes in the north of the Mon tribe who had been against Ming Ye Suoji for a long time were all wiped out, all the men were killed, and all the women were taken captive.
Since then, the large-scale resistance of the Mon people has ceased to exist, and its demise is imminent.
And in this large-scale battle of more than 100,000 people, Luo Rong, the owner of the wolf battalion, made the first contribution, Luo Rong took the lead after the battle began, leading the cavalry to fight and rush, and the war began in less than a quarter of an hour to directly break through the front army of the Mon coalition army, and enter the Chinese army, making the Chinese army chaotic.
After that, he became more and more courageous, and continued to charge and kill three leaders in the Mon coalition army, which greatly frustrated the weakened Mon coalition army, and could not gather an effective formation to fight against the Zhennan army again.
Luo Rong led his cavalry to kill three pairs in the Meng coalition array, and made great contributions to Yuan Huang's command of the army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Meng coalition army.
After the war, the wolf battalion was determined by Yuan Huang to be the first merit of this battle, and in this battle, the wolf battalion lost 307 knights and 578 horses, which was exchanged for a small loss of the whole army at a relatively large price, and compared with the loss of the whole army, the loss of the wolf battalion was very worthwhile.
Luo Rong was personally praised by Yuan Huang and promised to be the first to replenish the soldiers' horses and equipment for the wolf battalion, restore the combat effectiveness of the wolf battalion in the shortest possible time, and praised Luo Rong as the "Zhao Zilong" in the Zhennan army.
The end of this battle also heralded the victory of the battle to exterminate the Mon people, and the next step was the inconsequential sweeping work, targeting the fragile tribal confederations that had lost their youthful and strong combat effectiveness, which in the eyes of the Zhennan army were like a fat pig to be slaughtered.
It is time for Yuan Huangjue to start preparing for the development of central and northern Myanmar, which is the most glorious task given to him by Xiao Ruxun, to develop Myanmar, at least to feed millions of Ming people, and to open up a large piece of fertile soil.
In the face of the severe situation of the Xiaoice Age, it is very important to master the development of Myanmar's soil.
The officers and men of the Zhennan Army did not fight for three years, and as soon as they fought, they became a blockbuster, and completely annihilated the huge number of Meng coalition troops at a very small price.
It was only at this moment that Yuan Huang truly felt how easy and happy it was to command a well-trained army with one heart.
As long as he moved his hands and mouth, and beat the war drums a few times, the general and the soldiers would immediately understand what he meant, and without him saying more, the army would unfold according to his will, and then fight.
Soldiers have their own set of rules for fighting, and the cooperation between each other is very smooth, and the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield will not let the command of the army fall into disorder, whether it is a general in command of the army, a middle-level general or a grassroots officer, they can make the response according to the military order and defeat the enemy who should be defeated.
The infantry will not break away from the military formation, the gunners will not shoot without orders, and the gunners will not fight indiscriminately, compared to the tacit understanding between them, Yuan Huang, a "civilian official" who has little contact with the army, is very satisfied.
In the past three years, the Zhennan Army has not abandoned training, and the Zhennan Army, which was trained with Xiao Ruxun's hometown foundation Ningxia Army as the core, may not be as good as those hometown foundations in terms of combat experience, but the degree of training completion and elite is definitely not inferior to that of his hometown.
They just lacked a hearty fight.
Now that this battle has ended, the Zhennan army told Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang with hearty battles and brilliant results that the military expenditure of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year has not been spent in vain, and a useless army has not been raised, and every penny of silver has played its greatest effect.
After the battle, according to the custom, the Zhennan Army first held a farewell ceremony for the dead comrades.
The bodies of the 816 soldiers who died in the heroic battle were first transported back to Myanmar and handed over to their families, and then the spiritual tablets were enshrined in the Loyal Soul Temple.
The establishment of the Loyal Soul Temple is a way for Xiao Ruxun to improve the status of soldiers, and he uses this way to escalate the death of soldiers to a status that requires sacrifice, and publicize it, so as to slowly change the social reality of the low status of soldiers.
In this way, it is hoped that the small fire ignited in Myanmar can one day burn all over China and reshape the spirit of the martial arts that has disappeared from the land of China for hundreds of years.
On the night of the victory, Yuan Huang held a celebration banquet in accordance with the military regulations of the Zhennan Army, except for the fact that he was not allowed to drink alcohol because the war had not yet ended, everything else could be eaten, and he was allowed to eat.
The Huotou army made food for the army at full speed, all kinds of delicious things were delivered to the mouths of the soldiers, and all kinds of game captured from the Mon tribes were also put into battle, and the joyful atmosphere swept away the sadness of saying goodbye to their comrades, and the soldiers ate and drank, and their mouths were full of oil.
Yuan Huang held a banquet for the main generals of the Zhennan Army in his military tent, except for Ma Chong, who was helping in the battle at Ming Ye Suoji, a total of twelve people from the seven generals of the infantry army, four generals of the cavalry army and one general of the artillery army were entertained by Yuan Huang.
"Today, Xiao Hou is not here, the old man will replace Xiao Hou to respect the generals, the generals command properly, take the lead, and have made great contributions, this credit has been recorded by the old man, and after asking Xiao Hou, the old man will reward the army."
Yuan Huang raised his tea bowl: "On the march, you can't drink, today, the old man will use tea instead of wine to pay tribute to the generals!" ”
After that, Yuan Huang raised the bowl and drank the tea.
"Thank you, Strategist!"
The generals also raised their bowls and drank tea.
"Hahahaha! Strategist, today's battle is really exciting! We didn't have to make much effort to sweep away those southern barbarians, and the soldiers pointed out, all the southern barbarians were given the heads, and none of them could fight!
I think back then, when we followed Shiro to clean up the Dongwu Kingdom, it was not so easy, at that time, the rebellion of the Dongwu Kingdom was still quite able to fight, these Southern Barbarians were able to compete with the dog thief in Mangying back then, and they wouldn't be too weak to think about it, why are they so fragile today? It's just vulnerable! ”
Zhao Hu opened the conversation box first, causing all the generals to laugh heartily.
