The Siam Army around the 21st year of Wucheng in China was a semi-firearms standing army modeled after the 6th Infantry Army of the Xia Army - this army took the military government as the basic tactical unit, and each military government rated 1,000 soldiers, specifically organized into two musket 100 teams, an artillery 100 team, four cold weapon 100 teams, two husband service 100 teams, and heralds, bannermen, monks, doctors, craftsmen, mahouts and other auxiliary units directly under the military government. A military government in Siam has about 250 muskets and three field guns of different calibers, and the rate of firearms is close to 30%, so in terms of apparent combat effectiveness, it is very powerful in the entire central and southern region.

According to the information obtained by Ngo Dunsheng so far, in order to defeat the Burmese army's resistance at one time, this time the Siamese side dispatched 35 of the 47 military palaces.

Compared with the strong strength of the Siamese, the Burmese army in the hands of Wu Dunsheng is somewhat inadequate-except for the numerical advantage, the total number of artillery is roughly equal, and the other aspects are far inferior to the well-trained Siamese - fortunately, Wu Dunsheng is also a capable general, and it has only been a few months since he took over the 100,000-strong army, and while building a large number of border fortresses, he roughly trained a cadre of originally cowardly farmers into soldiers who can initially go to the battlefield. This alone was not enough to resist the fierce enemy, so Wu Dunsheng formulated a delaying strategy based on defensive warfare.

It should be said that Wu Dunsheng's strategy is clever, the Siamese people come over the mountains, the pressure of grain transportation is very huge, so the battle is their best choice, otherwise, once trapped in the Burmese fortress, not only will the sharp energy gradually depleted, but also the huge material consumption will also drag down the economy of the Siamese.

The Siamese knew the same thing, so they stormed the Burmese fort at the beginning. However, the siege side had to pay more than the defending side, and with the two armies having roughly equal numbers of artillery and artillery fire, the Burmese army with more troops clearly had the advantage.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that if we continue like this, before we hit Mawlamyine, the blood of the Siamese people will be gone." After more than ten days of fierce fighting, with more than 3,000 casualties, more than 20 camps and forts on the Burmese side were captured, which can be described as brilliant results, but the entire Siamese army still stopped in the high afterburner area and did not advance an inch, which made the Siamese side anxious. "It can't go on any longer."

King Tessa, the twenty-ninth monarch of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, sat there for a long time without speaking, until the generals below were clamoring again, and the king, who was called the lord of darkness by the nobles of the country because of his repeated cession of the southeastern territory, slowly spoke: "Can you bypass the Burmese camp and enter Mawlamyine without fighting?" ”

"China also participated in this war, and it is not necessarily necessary for our country to work hard here, so the Han people can sit back and enjoy the success." One of them said. "We can send people to urge the Chinese side to send troops as much as possible, so as to force the enemy in front of us to retreat."

"How do you know that Huaxia has not sent troops?" King Tessa shook his head. "Besides, this is a counterattack from Siam, just thinking about relying on China to win the war, what qualifications does Siam have to get benefits from China in the future." King Tessa stood up, walked to the door of the tent, and pointed to the enemy camp in the distance. "If we cannot defeat the enemy in person, it will never be possible for Huaxia to hand over the Upper Tannarin area to Siam, and Siam will once again lose hope of gaining Haikou."

The core of the Paramatrai 1okanatha system implemented in Siam is that hierarchical status is linked to land, so for ordinary nobles, it is only for ordinary nobles to obtain military merits, feudal titles, and rewards to obtain land, but for the king on the throne, he will know the importance of a trading port in his own hands, and King Taisa only understood it after giving up the port of Ayutthaya.

The Siamese generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say, but it was clear that the king was right, and getting something for nothing could only make Huaxia despise Siam, so as to hand over the benefits that Siam should receive to others.

Another nobleman with the title of Luan thought about it and put forward a proposal: "Then we want the Burmese to make an appointment??????

"Can't the Siamese hold it back?" Wu Dunsheng pinched the war book and pondered, in the previous battle, the Burmese lost about 6,000 people, and at present, in terms of known strength, the Burmese army is almost three times that of the Siamese, and it has the strength to conduct a field battle. "Promise them?" Of course, the key is not that the absolute superiority in troops, but that the situation of Mawlamyine is not optimistic, you must know that according to Wu Kebai's report, the Xia army's naval division has been infested in the sea off Mawlamyine, once the Xia army is put into battle, Mawlamyine misses, Wu Dunsheng's side is not only a problem of cutting off the grain road. "Desperate for losses, drive the Siamese back to him to Niantaweng Shandong, and then go back to the division to make sure that Mawlamyine is safe?" Wu Dunsheng hesitated. "What if it fails?"

Suffering from gains and losses, Ngo Dunsheng was unable to make a decision for a while, and as a result, the war in Siam-Burma fell into a strange state of stagnation.

Just when Wu Dunsheng weighed it again, Xia Jun, who had been watching coldly before, finally showed his hideous face.

On the 6th day of November in the 21st year of Wucheng, the 9th Division of the Longxiang Army, with the assistance of the 7th Regiment of the Shence Army, landed 6 in the area west of the Salween River north of Birujun Island, and then seized the areas of Zhitong, Yinnian, and Bangzhen in one fell swoop and marched into the city of Madaban on the opposite bank of Mawlamyine, thus blocking more than 100,000 Burmese officers and soldiers including Wu Dunsheng and Wu Kebai on the east bank of the Salween (Nu) River.

Because there was only a small amount of impact plains on the east bank of the Salween River, the grain produced was completely insufficient for more than 100,000 troops to eat, and the southern Burmese army advanced to the Garobi area adjacent to Jikanmei and Niyan Road, forming a north-south flank attack on the vicinity of Mawlamyine, and Wu Dunsheng, who could not safely withdraw under the noses of the Siamese, had no choice but to agree to a decisive battle with the Siamese army.

On 19 November, Wu Dunsheng's troops slowly retreated to the Jando area, where the terrain was more open and more suitable for large corps operations.

Two days later, the Siamese army under the command of King Taysa also cautiously arrived in the Jando area. It was just that the Siamese were just about to set up camp, and the Burmese army, which was waiting for work, took the initiative to attack under the leadership of Ngo Dunsheng.

In this battle, the Burmese were still the same old routine, and after a round of artillery fighting, they took more than 100 war elephants as the precursor, and tens of thousands of people rushed up in dense groups to try to tear the opponent apart in one fell swoop. In the face of the enemy army that covered the sky, the Siamese did not flinch. Thousands of men who were building the camp carried the materials for the camp to the front of the camp under Burmese fire, and hastily built several fences and artillery firing positions. Immediately, the artillery of the Siamese army also roared.

Although the Burmese war elephants had punctured their eardrums in order to cope with the loud sound of firearms, the Siamese shells still caused some damage to the elephants. Elephants are very sensitive animals, and although they can't hear the wailing of their companions, they still know what is happening when they see their companions' painful movements, so no matter how hard the mahouts try to drive them away, most of them still turn and run away.

Disrupted the Burmese army's war elephant charge, and the infantry on both sides soon collided together. The Siamese musketeers shot as many Burmese warriors as they could, and by the time the Burmese, who had been shot three times, rushed in front of the Siamese whites, most of them had fallen in the way of the charge.

Without the leadership of the professional samurai, the former peasants were exposed to their inferior suzhì, so that despite their large numbers, they were defeated and retreated, and it was only by the constant influx of reinforcements from the rear that the initial ranks did not break down—but if they continued to fight, the smaller Siamese army would sooner or later be crushed by the ant-like Burmese army.

Just when Wu Dunsheng was proud of this, and King Tessa was anxious, an earth-shattering explosion was heard in the battlefield, which turned out to be an artillery position of the Siamese army captured by the Burmese army, but somehow, the Burmese army ignited the gunpowder, and as a result, there were no bones left in the explosion. Speaking of which, the artillery positions were lost, several artillery pieces were destroyed, and the Siamese people were supposed to be depressed, but a shocking scene appeared, and the Burmese army, which was still ordinary farmers not long ago, was shocked by the tragic scene, and turned around and fled in a panic, which led to the general collapse of the Burmese army.

Wu Dunsheng, who was present at this scene, roared in pain: "Buddha! Are you abandoning your faithful believers? ”

Wu Dunsheng, who did not admit defeat, hurriedly ordered: "Come on, go and stop these cowards and let them go back to fight." ”

It's just that the defeat is like a mountain, and Wu Dunsheng's personal soldiers can't stop the Burmese army who are rushing for their lives, so they can only cover Wu Dunsheng's withdrawal from the battlefield after returning in vain: "Send the general back to Mawlamyine ?????? quickly"

"Victory, victory." The sharp turn of the shape made King Tessa overjoyed. "Chase, pursue??????"

The Battle of Jantaw came to an end, with the Siamese winning their first battle against Burma in years, and less than one-fifth of the 100,000 Burmese troops managed to escape alive into Mawlamyine.

"It's over, it's all over." Wu Dunsheng, whose face was covered with blood and was snatched out of the pile of dead by the guards around him, looked at Wu Kebai who came to greet him and sighed. "I have the trust of the king, and I am a sinner in Burma."

"My lord, it doesn't have to be like this," Wu Kebai persuaded. "We still have Mawlamyine City."

Wu Dunsheng shook his head: "There is no grain and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, how long can a mere Mawlamyine City last." ”

"But when I look at the Xia army in the north and south, the number is limited." Wu Kebai still has a fluke. "And the Siamese soldiers are also more than 30,000, and the sum of the two is only the same as the number of our army today, although the soldiers are newly defeated and their morale is low, but the field battle is not successful, it is still possible to stick to the fortified city, plus the food saved before, hold on for two months, maybe there will be reinforcements."

"Reinforcements?" Wu Dunsheng smiled bitterly. "It's okay if you don't come to reinforcements, if the royal capital urgently dispatches reinforcements, Burma will be completely finished." Wu Kebai is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he immediately woke up when Wu Dunsheng mentioned this, and his face was suddenly extremely ugly, but Wu Dunsheng cleaned up his mood and assumed his due responsibility as a general. "But you're right, Mawlamyine must hold on, only in this way can we share the pressure of the royal capital and get the best conditions for Myanmar in the next negotiations??????"
