"Whew...... Hoo ......"

The sound of dull breathing, the dark vision, when Si Zhefa opened his eyes, he was in a mountain lying on the ground full of corpses.

"Peng Peng Peng—"

"Bang bang bang—"

"Kill!"

"Run!"

"Beep-"

Cannons, shouts, flights, wooden whistles, drums, trumpets, and the crisp and distinct sound of firearms.

"Who am I? Where am I? Why is it so noisy......

When Si Zhefa woke up and saw the scene around him, he was panicked.

He was surrounded by corpses, filled with Burmese soldiers in Burmese army armor and robes, shouting and running.

They shouted the names of their relatives who joined the army, shouted for them to run away, and themselves fled.

In the process of escaping, many people fell.

Every time a stone bullet fell, a whirlwind would blow from the point of impact in the sandy ground, which had been crumbled by artillery shells, and rolled up the sand and broken dead branches and leaves.

The waves of fleeing people dispersed, and they rolled over the rough hills, scattering like splashes from the trees in the dense forest, and rolling down the mountain.

Even though some of the people who fell were shot, they still gritted their teeth and crawled...... In the end, he stopped with a pale face due to excessive blood loss, and could no longer move.

If the war is lost, there is nothing more pitiful than a group of panicked routs, regardless of the terrain of the battlefield.

These men, who used to work in the fields with Si Zhefa, and then were conscripted into the army, became the brave men of the people, they had no idea what was happening in front of them, they only knew that they fled with the flow of people.

No one wanted to go to war, even if their kings of Talung and Arakan raised the slogan of defending their homeland and arable land, but in fact they did not attract many people to the battlefield.

The land they were allocated was too limited, and no one wanted to fight for that bit of land.

Therefore, when the war is unfavorable, this group of untrained men only knows how to turn around and flee.

Bullets were fired from the dark forest, and the whole mountain forest was filled with smoke and chaos, and the army's baggage carts and the fleeing crowd were entangled, adding to the chaos even more.

The horses also jumped up and trampled on the wounded man who had fallen to the ground.

All around him, on the ground, where he seemed to hear, where he could see, there were moans everywhere.

The fallen men were terrified, some were frightened, some were running around, and in order to stop them, the generals took the overseers and the soldiers to exchange fire, and their own people were slashed and killed.

In the midst of all this, some of the generals, with gloomy indifference, calmly loaded their arquebuses with lead bullets, and then aimed their guns at their mouths.

With a "bang", he stopped moving......

Of course, such people are in the minority, and more generals for their own interests, they constantly organize the rout, and rush to the battlefield in front with the rout, but before Si Zhefa saw the enemy, they fell one after another.

In this dimly lit battlefield, Si Zhefa even forgot who he was fighting against.

As he was stunned, the dense sound of guns in front of him kept approaching him, and finally he saw the enemy emerging from the dense forest.

Red......

Red like a red tide poured down from the hillside, and they held in their hands a kind of firearm that was very unfamiliar to the Philosophers, and kept raising the firecracker, and loaded something like lead bullet into the end of the barrel of the firearm.

There is actually a firearm that can be loaded from the rear, which is unheard of.

But soon, the Philip returned to reality, because the group of people had rushed in front of him, and one of the soldiers indifferently raised the fire hammer and aimed the black hole at his own head.

"Are you going to die......" Si Zhefa was relieved, but an officer next to him stopped the soldier.

"He's been broken by a stone bullet and he's paralyzed, don't waste it."

The officer left with the soldiers, and Si Zhefa watched feebly as the red-jacketed enemies crossed over him.

At the end of his life, he closed his eyes to a noisy shout from time to time because of the explosion.

The loud sound of the cannon drowned out everything, and Si Zhefa, like many Donghu soldiers, completely lay in this mountain forest.

On the sixth day of the first month of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, Huang Fei led Henghaiwei and Longjiangwei to defeat Sutai, the king of Arakan, at Qindun, beheading 9,000 and beheading more than 46,000 people......

At the same time, the combined forces of the Nanhai Guard and the Western Guard in the south, and before the Donghu Pingdali and Dumodi arrived at the Donghu City, the Donghu City was breached, and the two troops and horses could only retreat to Binya in the rear.

Anyway, the northern Meng people, Ma Xianglin won without a fight, and took Mengyang lightly, the little Brahmin country,

On the ninth day of the first month of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, 280,000 of the 360,000 Burmese troops remained, and less than 3,000 li of land remained in the territory of Donghu, with a population of more than 3 million.

Faced with such a situation, Maung Ji of Miaodangcheng was naturally anxious, but it was Hong Chengchou who was more anxious than him.

"Peng Peng Peng—"

The fierce artillery bombarded Miaodang City day and night, the moat defense line and barracks outside Miaodang City were all broken, 60,000 soldiers and horses retreated into the city, and more than 80,000 soldiers and horses were still stationed in various passes and mountain passes.

Maung Ji couldn't stand this humiliation, so he led 10,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to the rear of Miaodang City, 20 miles, leaving Si Youbei with 50,000 troops to garrison Miaodang.

Si Youbei knew that it was a chore, but he had no face to refuse after losing the defense line of the river beach.

Therefore, he could only take 50,000 men with him and be shelled in the city of Myadang.

As for Hong Chengchou, he was at the artillery position every day, watching his 2,000 artillery pieces bombard Miaodang City indiscriminately.

"When will Huang Wenlu arrive......

Looking at Miaodang City that was bombarded, Hong Chengchou's face on the position was still pale, but the title of Huang Fei changed from Huang Dudu to Huang Wenlu.

Wenlu is the expression of Huang Fei, and Hong Chengchou calls Huang Fei's table character, which seems that the two are a lot closer.

The reason for such a change is also because Huang Fei received a letter from Huang Long to send a carrier pigeon, so he actively cooperated with Hong Chengchou.

Otherwise, in the final analysis, Huang Fei is also the governor of the Navy Governor's Mansion, unless Hong Chengchou becomes the first assistant, otherwise even if he passes through the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, he can only be on the same level as Huang Fei.

Huang Fei's attitude made Hong Chengchou more sure that he would become the first assistant of the cabinet, so his attitude was naturally much better.

As for his inquiry, Mu Yi, who was his close confidant, also replied, "According to the time, it is estimated that it is less than two hundred miles away from Miaodang City."

"Two Hundred Miles......

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard, thought for a moment and then ordered:

"Order all the troops and horses, except for the rear army on the east bank, the rest of the troops will launch a general attack at noon tomorrow, and leave not a single soldier and horse behind the Dongwu troops."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Mu Yi also bowed excitedly.

If there is no one left, the army of more than 200,000 is more than 2 million taels of silver, and he Mu Yi can get at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is only the reward for decapitation on the battlefield, and more importantly, the sweeping mission for the next three years.

Thinking of these interests, Mu Yi sent out Tang Qi with excitement, and Tang Cai quickly notified the soldiers and horses.

In addition to the invasion of Siam in charge of Siam, which was too far away, other troops such as Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming, Qin Yiming, Huang Fei, Wu Bikui, Mu Qiyuan and other troops began to prepare for a general attack.

The mobilization and preparation of the Ming army was naturally also concerned by the Burmese army.

At this point in the war, the Burmese army looked extremely embarrassed.

The rifle-armed navy occupied most of Burma's coastal areas in 10 days, and although the Burmese army still controls 3,000 miles of plains, more than 3 million people, and more than 200,000 troops, everyone knows that they are already trapped beasts.

3,000 li of land sounds like a huge size, more than 20 million mu, but due to the lack of development in Donghu, in fact, there is less than 12 million mu of cultivated land in the territory of more than 20 million mu.

12 million acres of soil

It is still difficult to feed the local people, not to mention the more than 200,000 troops who have lost their jobs?

The plains of Myanmar are basically more than one year, but like most places with more than one year, the yield per mu of land with more than one year is not necessarily higher than that of land with one year of cropping, and even if it is high, it will not be much higher.

Therefore, although it is the first month of the year, it is also the time when the rice is about to be harvested for local farmers.

More than 12 million acres of paddy fields produce at most 10 million stone of rice, and the edible part of these rice is less than 8 million stone.

Eight million stone rice feeds more than three million soldiers and civilians, even if one person only eats one pound of rice a day, it can only last for nine months at most, not to mention that these lands are constantly decreasing with the attack of the Ming army.

"How long will we have enough rations?"

"About four months, please rest assured that we will be able to hold out until the thieves of the Ming Dynasty are defeated!"

In a valley at the foot of the mountain, when a tired-looking Maung-gi asked the minister, he was disappointed by his words.

[In view of the general environment,

With four months of military rations, combined with dwindling land, how could they possibly defeat the Ming army?

I'm afraid they will be wiped out before the summer......

Thinking of the result that the 70,000-strong army of King Sutai of Arakan faced Huang Fei's 10,000 soldiers and horses and only lasted for three days, Maung Ki was a little tired.

It's just that he also knows that none of the nobles of Donghu will support his surrender, because they want to keep their jade mines, various ore veins, and their current status, as well as their own territory.

It's just that these thoughts of theirs are simply a humiliation for Da Ming.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen made it clear at the beginning in his reply to Hong Chengchou's handwriting......

"Destroy the country, abolish its system, apply the Chinese law, and teach the king to ......"

From the beginning, Zhu Youzhen did not intend to use gentle methods, what he wanted to do was to remove all the original tumors in Donghu.

There are hundreds of ethnic groups in Donghu, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to make hundreds of ethnic groups and seven or eight million people accept the culture, system and laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for the ethnic groups in Mubang, Mengyang, Menggong and other places that originally belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the attitude of other ethnic groups towards the Ming Dynasty was hostile.

The reason is that in the hearts of the Donghu people, they have always wanted to invade southern Yunnan and divide the southwest to fight against the Ming Dynasty, among which the Burmese with the largest number are the most.

Therefore, if you want to completely bring the Burmese region into the actual control of the Ming Dynasty, you must follow the regulations of "driving the seedlings and expanding the industry".

The Donghu nobles here did not support Maung Ki's surrender, and Zhu Youzhen did not want Hong Chengchou to surrender, and the attitude of the two sides was very clear, that is, to fight to the last Burmese.

Maung Ki knew all this, but he was powerless to change it, so he could only grit his teeth tightly.

"Is the Ming army really invincible?"

Maung Ji, who was sitting in the military tent of Miaodang Mountain, had an unpredictable complexion, and the roots of his teeth were clenched.

In fact, now he only needs to face the fact that most of the 70,000 allied forces in Arakan were wiped out in three days, and he can know that the Ming army is really invincible...... But he didn't want to admit it.

Although Donghu is lonely, he also has a dream in his heart.

That is to unify the Burmese region, return Donghu to the top, conquer Siam and Khmer, and finally take Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty, and complete the unfinished feat of the Luchuan Dynasty that year!

It's just that his dream is about to end before it begins, and the Ming army took the lead in firing the first shot, and the Burmese army was taken by the Ming army with absolute strength and captured half of the territory in just ten days.

"My ......"

Inside the tent, all the generals, toasts, and warlords looked at Maung Ki, but Maung Ki just clenched his fists tightly.

Even if the Ming army is extremely powerful, they are here to destroy the country!

As the king of Donghu, is it possible that he can still raise his hand to surrender and let him Donghu be captured by the Ming Dynasty? !

No! Even if he died, he had to find a way to defeat the Ming army, he Dadong

I can't just be wiped out by the Ming army!

"Hit!"

While the warlords were all watching what Maung Ki would do, they didn't want this guy to suddenly whisper the word "type".

"There is a chance to hold on, but the chance is slim, so it's better to fight directly!"

"I've read the information of the battle between the Ming and the Northern Tatars, and one of them is called Nurha, and the reason why he was able to defeat the Ming army in the Battle of Salhu was to break them down one by one before the Ming army split up and closed the siege!"

Maung Ki looked up at the ministers and generals, "Since Nurhachi (Nurhachi) can do it, then why can't we?"

"The Ming army is currently divided into five divisions, and the two 10,000-strong Ming troops behind us have the firearms in their hands."

"With this firearm, they defeated Sutai in just three days."

"But after they have come to sea, and after they have conquered so many cities in a row, and defeated Sutai's army of 70,000, how much gunpowder can they have?"

"These two soldiers and horses must be the elite of the Ming army, as long as one of these two soldiers and horses is defeated, then the other soldiers and horses of the Ming army will not dare to send troops because of fear."

"Next, we only need to deal with the other one, and then use their firearms to fight Hong Chengchou, and wait for the summer, Hong Chengchou himself will return to Yunnan."

The more Maung Ki spoke, the more excited he became, he suddenly stood up, holding the handle of the knife at his waist, and was full of spirit:

"I am determined to follow Nurha's example, and since he chose to attack the strongest part of the four Ming armies of the Sarhu, then I will also choose the strongest one."

"Pass on my generals, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were dispatched from each mountain pass and pass, and ordered Ping Dali to bring 60,000 people to the north to support, and Dumodi to bring 40,000 people to defend Binya."

"I want to concentrate my forces and eat these two elites of the Ming army with 130,000 people, and recover thousands of miles of lost territory in the rear!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the Burmese army generals present listened to the order and immediately got up to make arrangements.

Donghu is the largest power in central and southern China, even if 780,000 troops are annihilated, they still have 250,000, and it is not difficult to draw 130,000 horses from 250,000 miles.

Although most of the 130,000 troops were peasants with weapons, they were also an extremely large force in a place like Indochina.

Such a strength is actually very strong, not to mention the Siamese State, even the Mughal Empire, which controls 300,000 strings, must be dealt with carefully.

However, at this moment, the Burmese army is facing the Ming army, and it is still the elite of the Ming army, so when the tenth Maung Ji of the first month commanded the army to kill Huang Fei, not only his heart was in season, but the other Burmese generals were also in their hearts and did not dare to be careless.

"Put!"

"Peng Peng Peng—"

At the same time, the difference is that the general attack of the Ming army was two hours slower than that of Maung Ji and others.

When Wu Bikui, Hong Chengchou, and Ma Xianglin attacked Binya and Miaodang in three ways, Huang Fei was also hurrying towards Miaodang City.

He needed to cross a plain of 150 miles, then attack Manshakou by taking the Mansha Mountain Road, defeat the 10,000 Burmese troops stationed at Manshakou, and then penetrate directly into Myadang City from the rear.

It's just that he didn't know that at this time, Maung Ji was leading 70,000 people to climb over the more than 30 miles of wild sand mountains, and Pingdali in the south also led 70,000 troops to kill him from the plains.

"The number of Donggo's troops is wrong......

Shi Hong Chengchou was the first to notice that something was wrong, because he saw that many of the flags in Dongwu City that had been smashed by stone bullets had not been repaired in time.

Such details seem to others to be the Burmese army afraid of the Ming army's artillery bombardment and dare not repair it, but for Hong Chengchou, who carefully looked at the battlefield for ten days, he clearly remembers that in the past nine days, the broken Burmese army flags will be repaired in time.

After all, the banner represents the number of defenders in the city, and its role is not only to intimidate enemy troops outside the city, but also to motivate the soldiers inside the city.

But the banner of Miaodang City has not been repaired, and there are only two explanations for this.

First, the Burmese army was showing weakness to the enemy, trying to attract the Ming army to attack, and then suddenly a large number of troops appeared to panic the Ming army, and then

Inflicted a large number of casualties on the Ming army.

Second, the Burmese army has redeployed troops, and the frontal battlefield is insufficient and cannot be repaired.

Of these two explanations, Hong Chengchou chose the second one without thinking.

The reason is very simple, the Ming army has already shown its combat strength in the long time ahead, if the Burmese army still dares to show the enemy's weakness, then once the Ming army reaches the top of the city, with the combat strength of the Ming army, it can completely hold the horse road, break the face with points, and gradually ascend first.

Therefore, the Burmese army must have transferred troops, and because there were too many soldiers, there were too few soldiers in Myadang City, and there were too many people, and the people did not dare to repair the banner, and the soldiers could not repair it.

So......

"W-"

Hong Chengchou reluctantly pulled out the long sword at his waist as an ornament, pointed at Miaodang City, and shouted, "Stop the shelling!"

He stopped the shelling, and then ordered the generals around him, "Attack the city! The first to ascend will be promoted to one level and rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"

Hong Chengchou suddenly ordered the whole army to attack the city, which made the generals confused, but Hong Chengchou's next sentence woke them up:

"The Burmese army mobilized troops and horses to try to encircle and suppress our army, and the Tang cavalry surveyed and reported, and quickly investigated the situation of the troops and horses of each department!"

"Yes!" was woken up by Hong Chengchou, and everyone looked at Miaodang City, which had no more flags.

Only then did they realize that even if the Burmese army was afraid of artillery, it would not let the artillery make the flag such a virtue.

Only the division of troops can explain why the soldiers of Myadang City did not repair the banner, and once the Burmese army divided its troops, Myaodang City will be a dish in the bowl of the Ming army on the west bank!

"The people will obey! Kill the thief, kill it!"

"Beep-"

Mu Yi, as a vanguard general, at this moment, he took 10,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, and took the siege equipment that had been prepared for a long time towards Miaodang City, and Mu Qiyuan and others also led their troops to kill Miaodang City when they saw this.

No one wanted to let go of the honor of "first to land", for a while, the entire battlefield in front of Miaodang City galloped, the sun and moon flags fluttered in the wind, and the 20,000 Ming army launched an attack on Miaodang City with an extremely compelling momentum.

In front of the gate tower of Miaodang City, Si Youbei held the female wall with one hand and looked at the charging Ming army with the other, and the general next to him asked nervously: "General......

"Herald!" Si Youbei grabbed the Burmese knife at his waist, and immediately ordered after suddenly pulling it out:

"Behead the head of the Ming army and reward fifty acres of land!"

"Yes!"

Hearing such a rich reward, the surrounding generals' eyes widened, but they quickly reacted.

The greater the reward, the more difficult it becomes.

For Miaodangcheng, which only has 30,000 people and 10,000 soldiers at the moment, even if they succeed in beheading, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive until after the war.

But in any case, the rich reward will eventually make the timid people brave enough to fight against the Ming army, even if they can only stop the Ming army for a second, it is worth it for Si Youbei.

What he has to do is very simple, that is, to block Hong Chengchou and let Maung Ji encircle and annihilate Huang Fei's department.

Thinking of this, he put the Burmese knife on the drum stand on the side, picked up the drumstick himself and began to beat it wildly.

"Winter ...... Winter...... Winter ......"

"Kill!"

The drums were melodious, but they couldn't cover the shouts and killings of the Ming army.

The cloud chariot, the Lu public chariot, the siege tower, and a cannon that was pushed to the front of the battle, they began to show their might in the hands of the Ming soldiers.

Two thousand artillery shelled in the direction of the Ming army, and under the close shelling, the city of Miaodang, which was originally built of stone rammed earth, began to collapse, and a large number of Ming troops threw siege equipment into the moat, and then filled bags of sandbags into the moat.

In less than an hour, the four-foot-wide moat of Miaodang City was flattened, which also meant that their broken city walls were about to face the Ming army's soldiers.

"Toyo!"

Si Youbei beat the drum and shouted, and the concept of how to arrange the city defense was no longer in his mind.

Because he knew very well that 30,000 people and 10,000 soldiers faced more than 50,000 Ming soldiers outside the city, there was no need to pay attention to anything

City defense.

All they had to do was to use up the wolf's fangs, the gold juice, the stone bullets, and the gunpowder.

"Toyo!"

"Peng Peng Peng—"

Si Youbei roared and was about to drop the hammer, but in the next second, the artillery position of the Ming army continued to launch an artillery bombardment.

The main targets of the city gate and the gate tower were undoubtedly shelled, and Si Youbei was also hit by a stone bullet after the yelling, and the whole person was sent flying like a tattered bag man......
