362 The Death of Lochai (I)
Min Qide didn't think right, Na Rui Xuan didn't have the heart to laugh at him now, in the face of more than twice his own force oppression, Na Rui Xuan was very sober, he knew that Min Qide was not easy to fool, fooling once was lucky, the second time was not so good luck, it still had to rely on strength, fortunately, the second line of defense was a dense forest, it had just rained, wet, very suitable for use as a trap to delay the attack of the army, continue to buy time.
The main force in the rear is preparing for a defensive counterattack in the camp, Narui Xuan himself set up an ambush in the dense forest with two or three thousand elites, preparing to block Min Qide's army, whether it is on the ground or on the trees in the dense forest, there are soldiers announced by Nari everywhere, and it is definitely not called Min Qide's main force to pass through here, this is a very important place of life and death, if it is easily broken through by Min Qide, then Narui Xuan's level is too low.
Standing on the big tree and looking into the distance, Na Rui Xuan looked at the black and oppressive Burmese army with a solemn face, those armies are not to talk about the level of fun, nor are they miscellaneous soldiers, that is the elite of a hundred battles that the Burmese rely on to dominate Southeast Asia, compared to the army under the command of Na Ruixuan, it is more heroic and good at fighting, if it were not for the geographical advantages and tactics, the real face-to-face field battle, Na Ruixuan would have been killed long ago.
But the reason why the war is full of variables is because the people who lead the war will use a variety of tactics to make up for the lack of strength, the Chinese are good at using the art of war, and other foreigners are not necessarily stupid people who can only fight and rush, the art of war has appeared all over the world, but China's art of war is particularly famous, there are many people who write books and speakers, and even become a kind of learning, a system, and even a philosophical thought.
The earliest art of war is under the premise of rushing and fighting, through the accumulation of experience and the achievement of a science, this simple experience accumulation method is also the only way to achieve the art of war that can not be guided by scientific theories, Na Ruixuan may not understand the meaning of the art of war, but everything he does is undoubtedly the practice of the art of war.
When choosing a place to garrison, he took a fancy to the area blocked by a circle of hills and a dense forest, and specially ordered a group of soldiers to be stationed on the hill, pushing the direction of Min Qide's military camp to the north, vacating this favorable terrain as his barrier, and using these barriers to delay time when the war started, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army, and then killing them together to give the Burmese a good look.
However, the Ming army has not yet arrived, so they can only rely on themselves.
Far away, Min Qide's main army is slowly approaching, before the main army, the strong vanguard army is rapidly approaching, before arriving in the dense forest, Luo Chai has seen some military facilities at the front end of the dense forest, and some Siamese gunners, these Siamese gunners do not pay attention to the timing and rules at all, and when they see them, they shoot artillery, and after being killed and causing some chaos, they retreat and disappear without a trace.
Luo Chai was very annoyed and wanted to mobilize artillery to fight back, but when he looked at it with wide eyes, he couldn't see where there were Siamese people in the dense forest, a huge forest, of course you can shoot if you want to, but you always have to point in a direction, right? The gunners looked at Luo Chai, Luo Chai couldn't say a word, and finally he was really angry, so he ordered the gunner to get out, and he personally led his troops into the dense forest to kill the Siamese!
A group of soldiers lined up in formation, holding spears and knives or something to move forward quickly, but when they came to the front of the dense forest, several rows of Siamese musketeers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they began to shoot with a bang, and the dense Burmese people were caught off guard, and they were shot and fell to the ground to die or wailed.
In the midst of the chaos, Luo Chai was hit by a lead bullet in his left arm, which made him cry out in pain and bleed profusely, and after finally stopping the bleeding, Luo Chai ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates to let him go to the military doctor, but insisted on leading the troops to attack.
"The prince has given me such a task, I have made several mistakes in a row, if I continue to make mistakes, what face do I have to go back to the prince? It's better to die here! Give it to me!! ”
Lochai resolutely did not retreat, his courage inspired the soldiers here, the soldiers regained their morale, rearranged the line, and rushed forward step by step, the archers also attacked from behind, the Siamese musketeers did not have time to reload their ammunition and shoot again, so they hurried into the dense forest, and several people were unlucky and fell to the ground with arrows.
The defense in front of the dense forest ended, Luo Chai commanded the troops to destroy all the obstacles that the Siamese placed in front of the dense forest, and then divided the troops into three teams, marching from the three main forest roads, not far from each other, you can see clearly, Luo Chai sat in the middle team, commanding the overall situation, for the possible attack, Luo Chai directly ordered the archers and musketeers to stand on both sides of the melee infantry, ready to launch a counterattack against the attacking Siamese soldiers at any time.
His preparation was correct, as countless Siamese soldiers were crouching on the branches of these leafy trees, ready to launch a surprise attack on the invading Burmese.
From the first gunshot and the first arrow fired, there were constant gunshots and arrows, each time a Burmese soldier could be killed, but when the Burmese panicked and prepared to counterattack, they could not see the object that needed to fight back, it was the end of summer, it was the time when the branches of the big trees were luxuriant, and the dense foliage blocked the view of the Burmese, but it failed to stop the sight of the Siamese.
The dense gunfire and arrows fired made it impossible for the Burmese to successfully judge the location of the Siamese, and saw that the soldiers were killed one by one, but the Burmese could not effectively fight back, so they could only shoot blindly, but they did not kill the Siamese at all, nor could they find the specific location of the Siamese.
Luo Chai was so anxious that he realized that if he continued like this, the will of the troops would collapse, and the team would all break and flee, and it would be over, so in a fit of rage, he directly ordered the troops to shoot indiscriminately and rapidly, shooting hard at the tree above the head, even if I couldn't hit it, shoot me hard.
After the musketeers and archers received the order, they began to fight back frantically, although the efficiency was not high, but there were many people, the fire was dense and fierce, so there were constantly Siamese soldiers who could not dodge were shot to death, and Siamese soldiers continued to fall from the trees, which greatly boosted the morale of the Burmese, but such an attack also further disguised the existence of the Siamese, and they began to follow Nari Xuan's orders to fight officers.
