"Not a lot of people? What does Jack mean by that? There are more than 10,000 people in the Blue Flag Army on the opposite side, how many reinforcements have been sent? ”

Keno envisaged reinforcements of at least 10,000 men, preferably between 15,000 and 20,000 if it was an ordinary army, and it was also equipped with siege artillery.

Old Jack's sentence was not many, and he really gave Keno a slap in the face, do you still want to train for that Yang lord?

"Three thousand Indian light soldiers, five hundred imperial defenders, this is reinforcements!"

When he said this, Old Jack was also full of helplessness, the politicians of the empire did not take their conclusions seriously at all, did they have to suffer a big loss to sober up?

"We're done! Through this period of training, Lord Yang's Blue Banner Army already has the ability to fight in the field, as soon as our reinforcements arrive, it will be another big battle, three thousand Indian soldiers, one thousand three hundred imperial soldiers, not the opponent of the Blue Flag Army, even if I take command, we don't have much chance of winning! ”

Just as Keno was thinking about how to deal with the enemy, Old Jack let out a long sigh helplessly.

"Keno, my old friend, you've been fired! The Empire sent a young major over to lead the war. ”

Old Jack is still extremely convinced of Keno's command ability on the battlefield, and the group of politicians in the empire really regard the army as a gilded place?

"I understand, Jack, you're not from the army, so it's better to evacuate early! I'll arrange a guard for you. ”

Whether it is dismissal and retirement, or death on the battlefield, as a soldier, Keno has long had such an awareness. The army is his home. And Old Jack is different. He is not a man of the army, and there is no such thing as a deserter.

The result of the total annihilation of the army, Keno had already anticipated, and since the politicians wanted to use themselves as a bait to provoke war, then he Keno would be the bait.

"No! That Yang lord of Yunnan, although he is arrogant and arrogant on the outside, is extremely cunning in his heart, and the new major who is new when I leave will not necessarily listen to your opinion. Politicians need excuses, not annihilation. ”

No one can escape the responsibility, Keno has his military duties, and Old Jack, as a senior staff, also has his duties, and the soldiers of the empire must not be allowed to shed too much blood here.

"Third master, a group of black goods wrapped in turbans came to the north, and the number of people is about three thousand."

For the monitoring of Myanmar, Yang Meng has an absolute advantage, a thousand and a half mountain monkeys. Spread out of the situation in Kachin and Shan States. Almost nothing is missing.

"Indian soldiers! Yamba, find two suitable places.

1. Knock out their supplies, and you mountain monkeys are responsible for this.

2. Let Ma Qinghu lead the army and drive this Indian army to the city-states of Burma, preferably around Kachin, so that the Keno expeditionary force does not get the news that they have been ambushed.

Commander, you are responsible for the training of the troops on Keno's side in the past two days, and as a military advisor, you must also understand the specific tactics.

He informed Sun Boqing and stepped up his infiltration into the four countries of Burma, Vietnam, and southern Thailand, and he did not have much time, only two or three months.

Inform Wei Huozi on the Tibetan side, and let him stay in Tibet after he enters Tibet! ”

The temptation is over here, more than 3,000 Indian soldiers, Yang Meng doesn't have that appetite yet, and the Indian soldiers are not good materials, as the so-called new shoes don't step on stinky shit, this piece of stuff is still left to Myanmar to suffer!

"Third master, this ......"

The front was lively and lively, and Yang Meng suddenly withdrew from the stage, which made Xu Ziwei a little confused.

"The so-called rise and fall succession, no extinction, no extinction, how do we prosper? Now these countries in the Southeast Peninsula recognize all of them as the Qing Dynasty, not our Yang family, since they won't look for their father, let them mourn for a while.

Besides, if we want to communicate with the West, we have to rely on foreigners first, and when we live a good life, we can have their good life, as for the life and death of other families, we have nothing to do now!

The icing on the cake is for everyone, there is no charcoal in the snow, there is no evil dog, how can they know the benefits of recognizing their father.

England wants to march, but Burma is an obstacle; France wanted traffic, and Annan was an obstacle; As long as the two sides do not deploy troops in the Meisai River Valley, we will hide in Mengla to watch the show.

If the British want to deal with us, they must first use troops against Burma and Siam, and let them beat their heads into dogs' heads first, and then the combat strength of the British army should be almost honed, and their next target is us.

At that time, it was the time for our Blue Flag Army to sharpen its knives, and during this time, you would sit in Mengla, communicate with the resistance of the surrounding countries, and find out those close to us.

Those who are hard and coaxed, let the mountain monkeys lead them to grind the British and French armies, and there is also a task, which is to find out the terrain from Mengla to the mouth of the river, and I have a lot of use for this road! ”

After saying these words, Xu Ziwei understood Yang Meng's intentions, the British army is not terrible, and when they test their strength, the Yang family has a strategy to deal with it, and then it should be a disaster to the east.

"The third master is far-sighted, and the plan is not long!"

"Okay, the matter will be explained to you, I have to go back during this time, England has suffered a secret loss in vain, we still have to clear up, my whereabouts, I can't say nothing."

According to the English way of doing things, this time the Blue Flag Army, they must find the imperial court, calculate the time, a month is about the same, they just took advantage of this gap to return to Kunming, with Lin Laohu as a guarantor, this matter is not to blame on their heads.

After the Anglo-Burmese fight, whether the imperial court will get involved in this matter or not, it has to be said, if the imperial court is involved, whether it will find itself is also an uncertain matter, and some things still have to be prepared in advance.

"Yang Ba, you ask someone to bring a letter to Qiao Gunai, and say that Lao Tzu wants to see him."

"Third master, Qiao Gunai has been staying near Mengla for more than a month, will this let him come over?"

In the end, it is the same race, Yang Ba is still very concerned about Qiao Gunai's affairs, although this Yang Ba is illiterate and has not read, but his brain is quite flexible. Lead the mountain monkeys. He still has the ability.

"Hmmm! Let him come! Didn't you let him go to see Mei Yi? I stayed near Mengla for more than a month. When Lao Tzu said something is a fart? ”

In this matter, Yang Meng can also have an approximation, and Tang Meiyi released the water again, so that Yang Ba and Qiao Gunai could talk about it, but after all, they are of the same race, and some biases are inevitable.

There was not much time, so Qiao Gunai took Xiangye and a petite and delicate girl to Yang Meng.

"Third Master!"

This is more than a month. Qiao Gunai not only saw the strength of the Blue Flag Army, but also saw the new army of the Lisu tribe, how strong the Yang family is in Yunnan, and he also has a rough number, who to bow to, Qiao Gunai is also clear.

"What are you bringing them for?"

"Tribute!"

"Hmph...... Stay here! During this time, this is your chance, presumably your people, the new army in the mountain city has also taught a lot of things, right? Now that the guns are gone, it's time for you to be the king!

Remember! Only to the king of Burma. The foreign devils who only hit your territory have fled a little farther away from other armies. If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, there is no need to fight anyone!

During this time, it is time for you to train the army, what should the king of Burma say and what should not be said, ask Yang Ba, he is clear, if he says the wrong thing, there will be annihilation!

These Indian soldiers who have come recently will definitely run to the big city of Kachin, and you can go and get a handful when the time comes, and their guns are still good. ”

The playthings sent to the door, don't be in vain, Yang Meng didn't shirk much, and nodded Qiao Gunai, at this time, it is the time when the Lisu people in Burma are rising, as long as there is accurate information, it is easy to make an invincible reputation.

"Xie Sanye!"

"Let's go down!"

In the next three days, the mountain monkeys and Qiao Gunai's men and horses joined forces to rob the food and ammunition of the Kino reinforcements, and Ma Qinghu led the four thousand Blue Flag Army, which also had a remarkable expulsion battle.

This Indian light army, which was not Keno's elite army, lost several hundred men, and when they saw that the advantage of the Blue Flag Army was too obvious, they withdrew into the heart of Burma.

The man-made military disaster, this is Yang Meng's gift to the king of Burma, and after Qiao Gunai's reminder, the Burmese army can be regarded as an ambush, and Qiao Gunai also fought a beautiful battle of picking peaches with the cooperation of the mountain monkeys.

More than 2,000 foreign guns were their harvest, and the scattered Indian light soldiers were also killed, and the remaining more than 1,000 people fled straight to the Messe River Valley.

After nearly 20 years of recuperation, the military strength of Myanmar has almost recovered, and it is more than enough to chase and fight three or five thousand Indian light soldiers.

Although I don't want to go to war with England, but when people hit their doorstep, Myanmar can't bear it! Now they also understood the intentions of the English, the search expedition was fake, and the real purpose of invading their land again was the real purpose.

The furious Burmese king also made a ruthless heart, 5,000 Burmese troops chased more than 1,000 Indian light soldiers all the way, hundreds of foreign guns, which is also a big gain, the Burmese army can also play with foreign guns, definitely better than the Qing army, chased all the way, and arrived at the camp of the Keno expeditionary force, 3,000 Indian light soldiers who came to help, hundreds of English soldiers, only less than 300 remained, and the unlucky major also died in the chaos.

"It's a trap!"

Looking at the Burmese army that rushed towards the ruined earthen wall, Old Jack also understood Yang Meng's intentions, provoking a war between Britain and Burma and blocking the passage by land was the real purpose of Lord Yang.

Aggravating the contradictions between the empire and the countries of the southeast peninsula and plunging the empire into the quagmire of war is probably the purpose of the French, plus a lord Yang who is eyeing Yunnan, Old Jack is also afraid.

But now it is a little late to understand, all the carrier pigeons have been released, and there is no way to inform the Empire.

"Keno, my old friend, we have fallen into a very bad trap, we must get the news out and organize a breakthrough!"

"Jack, it's late! We're running out of ammunition, breakout? Now there is hand-to-hand combat left, and we are afraid that we will be wiped out! ”

"Damn it! If you know the road, bring a few more carrier pigeons! ”

The carrier pigeons that can fly to India, Old Jack used up the first time, but that was just a simple estimate, Lord Yang's real strength, he has not yet reported.

Moreover, the carrier pigeon can carry too few things, and his reports are too many, and many things are delayed.

"Jack! Bring your report, I'll protect you from breaking through! ”

As soon as he heard Lord Yang's information and did not report it to the empire, Keno also showed a resolute look on his face, Lord Yang is definitely a strong enemy of the empire, leaving him in the shadows, I am afraid that the empire will suffer a big loss, and he can only break through for the sake of the empire.

The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel, cold weapons combat, the British army is not much stronger than the Burmese army, 5,000 to 1,000 troops, so that the illusions of old Jack and Keno have come to naught.

Nearly 6,000 muskets, half of the damaged Burmese King and Qiao Gunai, under the impetus of Yang Meng, half of the ammunition captured by Qiao Gunai was also given to the Burmese King.

Reporting the news, sending troops, and distributing ammunition, Qiao Gunai was also rewarded by the king of Burma, the lord of a small city near Kachin, and the Lisu people who ruled the Burmese country.

The danger sees the hearts of the people, and Qiao Gunai's performance is a long-term drought for the king of Burma, and most of the principalities are leaning towards England, and there is a Qiao Gunai, which is also a blessing for the Burmese country.

I don't know what to think, after the total annihilation of the Keno expeditionary force and his reinforcements, the king of Burma actually relied on more than 2,000 foreign guns to launch a surprise attack on the British army in the south, and the capture was not bad, at least let the Burmese army have the strength to fight, Yang Meng can only say long live understanding.
