Chapter 579: Zhu Youlang hangs the king of Burma

The complete rout of the 200,000 main army of the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma marked that the Taungoo Dynasty had completely lost its offensive ability, and King Tarong had lost the viable strength to break through the encirclement.

However, at this time, King Talong was only beginning to realize that he had fallen into a situation of total encirclement, and he began to draw defenders from important strongholds other than Tangoo back to Tangoo, but at the same time began to plan a route to break through in the direction of Daji Port and escape to the Mughals.

However, Zhu Youlang broke his dream of breaking through at the end.

Seven years ago, Zhu Youlang, who was still studying at Beijing Normal University, really entered the crash course of the Royal Military Academy because of Zhu Youxiao's words, and in seven years, he was also promoted to the commander of a chariot battalion in the first town of the Third Army of the Ming Dynasty because of his high education and the identity of a child of the royal family.

Because Zhu Youxiao said that he would let him attack Burma for the Ming Dynasty, he also led his chariot battalion to participate in the war to fully occupy Southeast Asia.

However, the Third Army from Yunnan found that in addition to portable mountain artillery, chariots and giant artillery were not suitable for marching in the mountains at all, and even slowed down the advance of the entire group army.

Therefore, according to Fu Hai's arrangement, the chariot battalion and the giant artillery could only stay in Chittagong for the time being, and only after the rainy season had passed, they would be transported to Taungoo to prepare for the attack on the capital of the Taungoo Dynasty.

However, what Fu Dahai would not have imagined was that Zhu Youlang had already disobeyed the order of him, the chief officer of the group army, and drove his chariot along the gorge of the Gornopuri River without authorization, and only entered the plain area inside the Donghu Dynasty before the flood came.

At this time, the Donghu Dynasty had only more than 100,000 troops except for its capital Donghu, and there was no strength to resist Zhu Youlang's chariot.

By the time Zhu Youlang arrived at Donghu City, the other main forces of the Ming Dynasty had not yet arrived at Donghu City, and because each army had a large number of prisoners, the entire army had become bloated from light, and the marching speed was greatly slowed down, so not only had it not yet reached Donghu City, but even the nearest first army was still hundreds of kilometers away from Donghu.

In other words, Zhu Youlang's chariot battalion will have to face the 100,000 Burmese army in Donghu City alone.

Different from the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, as a large number of clans no longer raised pigs in captivity, Zhu Youlang, the son of King Gui in this era, was not as cowardly as he was in the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

In the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the only thing he could do was to run, from Zhaoqing to Wuzhou, from Wuzhou to Kunming, and then from Kunming to Burma, and in this life, he has been advancing, from the Huguang training ground into Yunnan, and then into Burma, and now directly into the capital of Myanmar Donghu City.

Zhu Youlang did not fear the 100,000 Burmese troops in Donghu City because he only had more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and the thick steel plates and tracks directly ran over all obstacles and bounced away the arrows like rain, while his huge cannon could directly collapse a huge hole with a diameter of one zhang in the city wall of Donghu.

King Ta Long did not order the 100,000 troops under his command to rush out of the city to deal with Zhu Youlang's chariot battalion in turn, because he did not think that there were really only hundreds of iron lumps outside Donghu City now, and in his opinion, there would definitely be more Ming troops hidden in the secret, and these Ming troops would definitely take advantage of their army to surround after leaving the city, so as to completely annihilate their last army outside the city.

Therefore, King Talong did not order his own army to attack out of the city, but ordered the army in the city to seal the gates everywhere, so as to prohibit other generals of the army from trying to break through or surrender out of the city without permission, after all, his most trusted general Mang Gujie surrendered as a prisoner, and it is difficult to ensure that under the current crisis of national destruction, no one will not surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

King Ta Long did not take advantage of this to break out of the city, but Zhu Youlang drove the chariot into the city through the hole of several cannons.

A large number of troops tried to block the approach of the chariot battalion, and used firearms, swords, guns, bows and arrows to resist, and even the city's artillery, but to no avail, a rapid strafing of the chariot battalion's firearms killed countless Burmese troops, and when they encountered a wider street, they directly ran over the past, and slowly advanced from the sea of corpses and blood.

In less than an hour, the 100,000 Burmese army lost nearly 20,000, and the rest of the army did not dare to approach, so they had to hide in various buildings.

However, the chariot battalion was not polite, and from time to time mobilized vehicle-mounted artillery to bombard these buildings, and the current Donghu City is not a modern city, mainly concrete and steel bars, but mainly wooden structures, so it cannot withstand the attack of vehicle-mounted artillery, and either directly collapses or ignites a fire.

According to post-war statistics, as many as 50,000 Burmese soldiers and civilians were crushed or burned to death.

When the chariot battalion arrived near the palace in Taungoo City, the Burmese army, which could no longer be pushed, could only fight bravely, but they could only encounter countless incendiary bombs and bullets, or the chariot battalion directly ran over their bodies, and they were forced to crush a bloody way in the dense area of tens of thousands of people.

He was stunned, and he couldn't think of how to deal with this kind of iron lump at this time, but now he also lost the opportunity to escape from Donghu City.

Zhu Youlang personally controlled the chariot and galloped towards the palace of King Talong, and King Talong could not organize decent resistance at this time, and tens of thousands of troops had become a plate of scattered sand, fleeing in panic everywhere.

Seeing this, King Talong also knew that his general situation had gone, so he simply stopped fleeing, but honestly sat in the main hall and waited for the arrival of the Ming army.

King Ta Long hated it very much in his heart, hated that the Ming Dynasty had destroyed the huge empire that he had worked hard to manage for many years in an instant, but he was helpless, he realized at this moment that no matter how powerful he was, he was still just a grasshopper shaking a tree in front of the Ming Empire.

Zhu Youlang also opened the chariot hatch at this time, jumped down directly, and held a rifle and a Ming version of the grenade in his hand, that is, the earth-shattering thunder, and threw it directly into the crowd in front of him, with a bang, dozens of people were lifted, and Zhu Youlang directly took the gun and carried a cadre of chariot battalion officers and soldiers straight into the Burmese palace.

"Hurry up and report that we have occupied Taungoo City, and the Taungoo Kingdom of Burma has been destroyed!"

Zhu Youlang spit out the cigarette in his mouth as he spoke, and hurriedly stepped into the main hall as soon as he stepped on his leather boots. ”

"I know, don't you see I've always carried a rope?"

Zhu Youlang did not understand why His Majesty the current emperor insisted on letting him strangle the king of Burma, but as an officer, he could only do so.

As soon as Zhu Youlang walked in, he saw a person sitting in the center in a gorgeous costume, and asked, "You are the king of Talong?" ”

King Taron nodded.

"By Your Majesty's will, take your life and die!"

As he spoke, Zhu Youlang came over and wrapped the rope directly around the neck of King Long, and not long after the wrapping, King Long opened his mouth wide, his tongue spit out, and he soon fell to the ground.

In this way, the Burmese king was hanged to death by Zhu Youlang.
