Chapter 499: No one has collected the ancient white bones
"Woo-woo-"
In the early morning, as the smoke of the fire cleared, the plain after the fire was in shambles, the rice fields that had enough to feed thousands of people had become ashes, and the woods connecting the plains had become rotten trees and dead branches, like black monsters standing there.
The ground that was once a grass wife has burned to ashes, the once babbling stream has dried up to the point where there are no droplets, and the once blue sky has turned gray.
Under the dreary sky, the soldiers of the Ming and Burmese armies had red eyes and bloodshot eyes, which was a symbol of not resting.
"Governor, brothers can't help it, clean up this group of guys early, and then find a place to rest."
On the cracked road, the commander of Long Jiangwei couldn't help but come to suggest, which was enough to see how big the resentment of the soldiers below was.
Huang Fei glanced at him and looked around again.
He could clearly feel that the anger of the generals and soldiers around him was being artificially suppressed by them.
If there is anger, it needs to be released, and release requires an object.
As for the object...... Huang Fei looked at the Burmese army that had besieged them on the plains of thousands of acres of cultivated land.
The dense Burmese army surrounded them with more than 6,000 people, and Huang Fei looked around him, 200 Tang cavalry and 6,000 riflemen, and 1,000 horses that had been untied from their baggage carts.
"Let the brothers in the army who are good at riding stand at the end, and wait for the next time to chase down the defeated army."
"Yes!" Hearing Huang Fei say this, Commander Long Jiangwei had confidence, and after he retreated, he began to select some brothers from the army.
Although they are both navy, the navy also has riding training, so it is not difficult to find a non-commissioned officer with good riding skills.
Some of the soldiers slept all night on hard ground, their backs ached, and they were not in a good mood, so at the moment they could all hold their breath and prepare to use the head of the Burmese army to extinguish the fire.
The changes in the Ming army were fully seen by the Burmese army, and Maung Ji was also a little jealous of this, after all, Huang Fei wiped out more than 70,000 people in Sutai in Qinshan, and he only had more than 60,000 here.
"When will Pindarit arrive?"
Maung Ki turned his head sideways and asked the minister, who replied unhurriedly, "According to our people's return, there should be three more hours."
"Three hours......" Maung Ki muttered, but at the same time the Ming army moved.
In front of the Burmese army, some soldiers of the Ming army began to collect some charcoal around them, gathered the charcoal into the ranks, and then started to ...... in a grand manner under the noses of the Burmese army. Cook.
"Bastard!"
Looking at the Ming army, who did not regard himself as a threat, although Maung Ki was also glad that the other party did not attack, Huang Fei's approach made him feel humiliated.
"Governor, isn't it too humiliating to do this?"
In the Ming army, the thousands of households around Huang Fei couldn't help but laugh at Maung Ji, but Huang Fei sneered:
"If you don't provoke him, how can you clean them up?" As he spoke, Huang Fei looked at the sky, looking at the dark clouds of fire and smoke that gradually dispersed, and he turned his gaze back to the Burmese army.
"Their reinforcements should arrive soon, about three hundred miles from Binya, and if they had traveled lightly, from yesterday or the night before, they would have set out at least one hundred and eighty miles by now."
"It's about a hundred and twenty miles away from us, and in the case of a forced march, four or five hours is enough."
Huang Fei analyzed the situation, and the commander of Long Jiangwei, who returned next to him, saw this and asked, "Do you want them to join forces?"
"Join forces? Naturally, not." Huang Fei twisted his uncomfortable neck, and when he thought that he had slept on the board car all night, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Tell the brothers, after breakfast, let's clean up this group of caves!"
"The last general commands!" Long Jiangwei commanded the envoys, so within half an hour, the Ming soldiers drank bowls of sweet porridge boiled with military rations.
As the governor, Huang Fei often led his army to attack the local rebels, so he always had cane sugar on the way.
Sugar is one of the few strategic materials that the people can come into contact with, and it is very easy for Huang Fei to collect it.
On this march, he brought a hundred pounds of sugar, and his original intention was to let his brothers eat some sweets before attacking Miaodang City.
But he didn't want to, so Maung Ki sent it to the door himself.
Thinking of this, Huang Fei sped up the speed of drinking porridge.
Not only him, but other generals and Ming soldiers learned the news, and they all drank this bowl of sweet porridge with anger.
When the porridge was finished, Huang Fei also wiped his mouth, and then pulled out the waist knife on his waist and blew the wooden whistle.
"Beep-"
"It's coming!"
In the middle of the battle, after hearing the familiar whistle of the Ming army, Maung Ji silently put down the wooden bowl containing meat in his hand, got up and walked to a temporary wooden platform.
He began to monitor the movements of the Ming army with a clairvoyant mirror, and saw that the Ming army was constantly rushing in the direction of his Wang Xu.
In that narrow clairvoyant lens, the Ming army's military appearance was rigorous and murderous, which made Maung Ji can't help but be timid.
If you are a king, let alone the people below.
As the Ming army approached, the Burmese generals and the soldiers responsible for encircling them were under great pressure.
They watched as the Ming army approached them from a mile away, stepping over the cracked fields and carrying unknown firearms, walking towards them step by step.
"Beep-"
"Stop!"
Soon, when the wooden whistle sounded and the flag waved in the hands of the small flag officer, the 6,000 Ming troops stopped ten miles away from the Burmese army, and 200 Tang cavalry with 1,000 horses followed behind the team, and the Ming army confronted the more than 67,000 Burmese troops with a disadvantage of 6,200 troops.
The smell of gunpowder on both sides has long been ignited, and for them, war is already on the verge of breaking out.
"Let them take the initiative, and everyone should hide behind the earthen wall."
Seeing that the Ming army was so neat and murderous, Maung Ji squinted his eyes and issued a military order to defend it.
The earthen wall in his mouth is actually the trench of the Ming army, which belongs to the small mound of mud that is taken out and piled up on the side facing the Ming army.
But even so, this is the only tactic that the Burmese army can find, while ensuring that its own casualties are not large, can understand the power of the Ming army's rifles.
Maung Ji didn't stupidly test with the lives of soldiers, after all, among his 70,000 people, there were still more than 30,000 people.
[In view of the general environment,
Once Min Yong sees that the situation is not good, even if his Wang Xuan is here, it will not prevent them from escaping.
"Free fire, beep-"
When the distance between the Ming and Burmese armies was still 200 paces, and the Burmese army was thinking about how to defend, the soldiers of the Ming army marching straight into the formation had already raised their rifles under the waving of flags and whistles from hundreds of households, general flags, and small flag officers.
"What are they going to do? Release? But it's two hundred paces away, and it's impossible for them to ...... their firebolts."
"Bang bang bang—"
In the early morning of the eleventh day of the first month of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, when the crisp gunshots began to sound endlessly, the scorched fields were instantly shrouded in white smoke, and only the yellow dragon's daxu and the Ming army's flags were still fluttering.
"Uhh
"Peng—"
At a distance of 200 paces, many soldiers of the Burmese army were shot through their heads by the bullets that came out of their heads, and their chests and whole people instantly weakened, as if they had fallen behind the earthen embankment without physical strength.
Get one’s dander up......
"Beat the drums, and the whole army will attack!"
With just one face, Maung Ki understood how Sotae's 70,000 men had been defeated, and he knew better that if he didn't attack again at this moment, he wouldn't have any chance.
Although squatting behind the earthen embankment, in the place where Maung Ki could be seen with the naked eye, at least nearly a thousand of his own soldiers fell.
What is this concept? Even a marksman who has been playing with firearms for decades does not dare to guarantee that he can knock down one person with six firearms, and the Ming army
It did, and the odds were much higher than what Maung Gi saw with the naked eye!
"Bang bang bang—"
Here they again were, the guns of the Ming army rang out intensively again, white smoke rose, and the Burmese army was accepting the slaughter of the Ming army in a way that they could not see the faces of the Ming army.
"Drumming! Beat the drums!"
Maung Ki roared at the drum cart behind him like crazy, and even angrily pulled out the Burmese knife at his waist.
At this time, these Burmese drummers who were frightened by the Ming army's attack method hurriedly beat the drums.
"Winter! Winter! Winter ......"
The drumming of hundreds of drummers began to fill the battlefield, and the plain finally had its own voice belonging to the Burmese army, and some Burmese generals also came to their senses, drew their swords and shouted to lead the team to rush towards the Ming army.
"Bang bang bang—"
The gunfire did not stop because of their shouting, and the smoke from the Ming positions was so thick that no one could see the target clearly.
Although the Apocalypse XI rifle was already equipped with a ruler, the soldiers did not need to aim, but fired a direct volley after row.
Crisp gunfire rang out one after another, and 60,000 Burmese troops attacked from all sides of the Ming army.
This time, unlike the bloody battle of Beishan, the Ming army had more rifles and more bullets, but they did not reject horses, did not have barbed wire, and did not have any fortifications...... But so what?
"Bang bang bang—"
It would ring out every three or four seconds, and the continuous gunfire broke Maung Ki's spirit, and he watched as the Burmese army crowd swarmed up, filling the entire battlefield.
The soldiers and horses of the front team resisted the pressure, gritted their teeth and charged, and the war elephants also roared forward, and the soldiers and horses of the rear team who followed the front team pounced forward without looking back.
"Rush! Kill the past and reward ten taels of silver! Kill a Ming soldier and reward a hundred taels of silver!"
Countless Burmese army generals and their own soldiers on the battlefield boosted morale, and many Burmese soldiers who were carried away by money also launched a charge like crazy.
In a war of interests, they have become inhuman beasts.
At that moment, they didn't know anything about the technological crushing and combat effectiveness that broke out in this Ming army.
When they rushed into a hundred paces under the rain of bullets, this was also the first time they could see the face of death......
"Bang bang bang—"
People are on their backs, war elephants are wailing, and the feeling of bullets piercing their bodies is a strong impact on everyone's brains, their arms, legs, chests, necks......
Whether it is an exposed place or a place hidden under the armor, when the bullet hits them, the armor not only does not become a companion to protect them, but instead inflicts a second wound on their flesh.
Those who run straight and straight will also fall straight down, and those who are hit will also realize that they have been hit at the first time.
On the battlefield, shouts of killing, cries for help, and wails resounded throughout the fields, and those hoarse soldiers kept moaning, but they were soon trampled to death by their comrades who swarmed up in the rear.
Some people watched as the officer who was shouting for a charge a second ago was killed, and even saw a living person, who was shot in the head, and the flesh was filled with disgust.
People are often limited to what is within their own perspective, so even if the Burmese army in front of them almost collapsed and could no longer rush, the Burmese army in the rear was carried away by the high bounty of silver.
"Behead the Ming army at the first level, and reward two hundred taels of silver! A hundred acres of land!"
The Burmese generals on the battlefield kept passing on the military orders issued by King Maung Gi of Donghu in the rear, and the rich rewards made people lose their minds.
"My king, we can't take out so much silver and so much land......
At the rear of the battlefield, the more Maung Gi looked at the battlefield, the cooler it became, but the minister next to him said that he couldn't take out the silver and the fields at this moment.
Maung Ki looked at him with red eyes, suppressing his anger: "I know......
Maung Ji knows very well the strength of Donghu, these 6,000 Ming troops, not to mention two hundred taels, is ten taels per person, and Maung Ji can't take out so much silver.
But so what? How many Burmese troops can do after this battle?
Alive? No one can predict.
Although Maung Ji is not as good as Nurha, Huang Taiji, or even Daishan and Mang Gurtai, he can lead Donghu to become the first power in Indochina and distribute land to farmers, which has surpassed many rulers of Indochina.
On the battlefield, he didn't want a real promise, even a blank check was enough to make the soldiers fight frantically for him, but ......
"Kill!"
"Bang bang bang—"
The sound of fighting continued to ring, and the gunfire did not seem to stop, and as soon as the war began, Maung Ki threw all the forces of the Burmese army into his hands.
Not only did nearly 60,000 infantry attack, but even more than 300 war elephants were thrown into the battlefield, and he did not retain any strength just to achieve victory.
The 6,000 Ming soldiers raised their rifles and formed a dense network of firepower, like a sickle after the autumn, mercilessly harvesting the Burmese soldiers and the war elephants at the front.
Many war elephants were shot too much and fell down, and many soldiers were crushed on the spot and suffocated to death, but this was only a small episode on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, there were also war elephants who were wounded, but not dead, just like in the war of the Ming and Mo Domains, scurrying around, and even injuring their own people.
However, the Ming soldiers did not stop shooting because of this, but the fire network became more dense, vowing to kill all the war elephants that dared to enter the range.
The Burmese soldiers who controlled the war elephants also blindfolded the war elephants with things as usual, and then manipulated the war elephants in a special way to continue to attack in the direction of the Ming army.
However, on this flat field, as long as there is a straight and upright charge, no matter who or any creature, there is always only one end, that is, to fall completely.
On the battlefield, a metal storm of metal warheads forms a natural protective shield.
In the fifth minute of the battle, no Burmese army could break through to within 60 paces of the Ming army.
The war elephants fell one by one, and the Burmese soldiers on the back of the war elephants were also thrown to the ground.
A Burmese soldier who had been thrown down had just gotten up from the ground, and his body was immediately enveloped by the dense fire net of the Ming army.
With a few "poof" sounds, his body was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
A large number of war elephants fell, and the ordinary Burmese soldiers who followed the war elephants also rushed into the 300-meter range of the Ming army.
Burst! Burst! Burst......
The sound of bullets piercing through the body was heard in an endless stream, like wheat being harvested.
The Burmese soldiers fell one by one, and in an instant, they frightened the Burmese soldiers behind.
At this moment, more than half of the war elephant legions in front have been killed by the firepower of the Ming army.
The corpses of a large number of war elephants were piled up on the road ahead, like the road of death.
Elephants are one of the most intelligent animals except for humans, looking at the carcasses of other elephants densely packed in front of them.
If someone looks into their eyes, they can clearly see fear in their eyes.
Yes, there are no other war elephants that have rushed into range behind!
The extremely human expression of fear led them to make an unexpected, yet expected, move.
The remaining dozens of war elephants turned around almost simultaneously and fled backwards without listening to the maneuver.
No matter how the Tatmadaw manipulates and blindfolds the elephants on their backs, they will only run in fear in the direction where there are no gunshots.
It is true that war elephants are the ace legions of tropical countries such as South Asia and Southeast Asia, and the power of war elephants is also obvious.
However, their disadvantage is also obvious, that is, they are too intelligent compared to other animals such as war horses.
Just as no army used the smartest sheepdog as a military dog, a sheepdog can discern danger, and so can a war elephant.
The fleeing war elephant herd even broke up the formation of many Burmese troops, trampling to death many Burmese soldiers.
The entire charging formation of the Burmese army was thrown into chaos and chaos.
However, on the side of the Ming army, all the Burmese soldiers within the effective firing range were still with
The war elephant was shot before the shooting stopped.
The Ming soldiers who stopped shooting looked at the Burmese army in chaos outside the firing range with disdain.
"My king! We ......."
The Burmese army in front was in turmoil, and all the ministers and generals of the Burmese army in the rear were full of horror, ready to dissuade Maung Ki without saying anything, but Maung Ki's face was full of vermilion, and he almost didn't have a mouthful of blood spurting out.
Originally, when he listened to the report of the rear Fang Tangqi, explaining how powerful the army's firearms were, he still didn't believe it.
He always felt that he had nearly 70,000 troops and hundreds of war elephants, and he had the strength to fight with 6,000 Ming troops.
But now, when the firepower of the Ming army was really displayed in front of him, he knew that those Tang cavalry not only did not lie, but underestimated the power of the Ming army's firearms.
Could it be that he is going to be so irreversibly destroyed in the hands of the Ming Dynasty?
"No! The war is not over yet, I still have a chance!" Maungji's face was hideous.
"Command the army, continue to attack, who can rush into the Ming army's formation! I will make him king and give him a fief!"
Seeing that the Ming army was so powerful, so powerful that it was completely powerless, Maung Ji, who was unwilling to fail, made this unprecedented promise.
Crowned king! And to the fiefdoms! And the requirement is only to be the first to rush into the Ming army......
"Keep attacking!"
After hearing the reward from the rear, a general of the Burmese army took the opportunity to order the Burmese army to continue the offensive.
"Kill ......"
The war elephants had fled to the rear, and the re-stabilized Donghu army once again launched an overwhelming attack.
In the final analysis, although they were afraid of the muskets of the Ming army, because most people did not see the way the Ming army attacked and what the battlefield was like, the promise of the fiefdom of the king still made many Burmese soldiers red-eyed and showed a look of madness.
Not in order to defeat the Ming army, many Burmese soldiers opened their brains, thinking only about how to be the first to rush into the Ming army.
Soon, some Burmese soldiers rushed to the first row for the first time, but when they rushed to the first row, they felt only a chill rush from their tail vertebrae to their heads.
Thousands of Burmese corpses lay fifty or sixty paces away from the Ming army, and they were facing the guns of the Ming army.
"Running ......"
Some of the Burmese soldiers who reacted immediately wanted to flee back, but the Ming army, ignoring their will to survive, pulled the trigger again.
"Bang bang bang—"
Burst! Burst! Burst......
The bullet penetrated the bodies of Burmese soldiers, leaving numerous blood holes in their bodies.
A large number of Burmese soldiers fell, almost as if they were slaughtered.
On this battlefield full of corpses, some of the bullets of the Ming army had to shoot into the sky, one missed, some had to hit the ground, hitting the corpses, and some directly hit the bodies of the Burmese soldiers, taking their lives.
More than 60,000 Burmese troops could not bear the huge casualties in the end, and began a mass rout in the ninth minute of the battle.
"Run!"
"Run!"
"I'm going home! I'm going home!"
The Burmese army, which was constantly fleeing, began to flee with a large number of overwhelmed Burmese troops, and Maung Ji, who was in the rear, saw this scene and his face turned pale.
He knew he was going to lose......
"Chase!"
"Beep-"
When the Burmese army's will to fight collapsed and the order of the battlefield collapsed, Huang Fei decisively ordered the whole army to pursue.
This is the time when the Ming army inflicts the greatest casualties on the Burmese army.
Thousands of skilled Ming troops mounted their horses and horses, followed the two hundred Tang horsemen and began to ride their horses to chase down the defeated Burmese army.
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in an anthill......
At this moment, when there are continuous routs on the battlefield, Maung Ki's defeat is doomed.
The cruelty of the war was vividly reflected at this moment, and the whole battalion of soldiers and horses were sent to the battlefield, like a large pile, a large pile of chips, pushed around by Huang Fei and Maung Ji on the card table.
But when the two sides are revealed, Maung Ki's defeat is already doomed.
"My king, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, let's withdraw!"
"Protect my king, retreat!"
The generals of the Burmese army have no other skills, and they have a keen sense of smell.
As soon as their side was defeated, they held the pale-faced Maung Ki hostage, and began to flee south with the 4,000 personal soldiers around Maung Ki.
They still had 60,000 horses and horses of Pindari, but at the moment they were no longer able to fight the Ming army.
It can be said that their idea of wanting to defend their interests has been dismantled when the 60,000-strong army was not wounded by the Ming army.
At this moment, they only had one way left, that is, with 60,000 horses from Pingdali, they went headlong into the mountains to the west, just like Mang Yinglong and the Luchuan Dynasty and the Later Li Dynasty, and fought guerrilla warfare with the Ming army.
When danger came, the *** and generals of the Burmese army did not hesitate to abandon the hundreds of generals on the battlefield who were still trying to organize a rout counterattack, as well as the 30,000 or 40,000 Burmese troops that had collapsed.
The cavalry of the Ming army began to shoot in a circle, constantly harvesting the collapsed Burmese army.
Due to last night's fire, the Ming army on horseback could shoot the Burmese army with impunity until they were all killed.
Looking at the battlefield, Huang Fei, who was sitting on horseback, knew very well that the Battle of Ping-Burma had ended......
