The Burmese army was defeated and fled back to Ava City, where chaos awaited them.

The West City Gate is even more crowded and crowded. Although the king of Burma, in order to calm the people's hearts, strictly ordered the army to guard the city gate, and did not allow the princes and ministers to flee out of the city.

But the situation is so bad, can the Burmese people count it? If you don't let you go, you can't stop people from secretly packing up their belongings and preparing to run away at any time.

The fierce fighting on the front line is even more concerned by the Burmese people, including the Burmese king.

As soon as the rout began, someone ran back to report it. The first to know the news, the first to flee were the Burmese king and his family. Obviously, they were ready to run away, and what to die with the city was just a joke.

As soon as the Burmese king left the city, the princes and ministers followed, and the rich and common people were also panicked and rushed out of the city.

Although the river defense was broken through, the city was definitely unable to hold, but the Burmese king and his ministers fled in embarrassment, but the city defense was also useless.

The surging defeat of the army not only caused great chaos in order, but also caused great confusion in the morale of the city defense troops. Everyone knows that the fall of the city is inevitable, and the king has run away, so who is he fighting for, and for whom is he defending the city?

A large number of Ming troops pursued and killed the defeated soldiers, and reached the city, and did not attack in a hurry, but reorganized the troops and waited for the arrival of heavy firearms.

In one go, he captured the city of Ava and ended the battle against Burma successfully, and tried not to let the Burmese take too much gold and silver treasure.

The Ming army got such an order and was excited about it. Quite simply, they also have a share of the captures of the war.

According to the private disclosure of the officers, each soldier in this war will be rewarded with at least two years' salary.

Two years' salary is not a small amount for an ordinary soldier. You must know that their normal salary is enough to support their families, and two years' salary is enough for them to buy a house and land and live a well-off life.

Therefore, the fighting enthusiasm of the Ming army was high, and their eyes were red when they stared at Ava City. I heard that the royal palace inside is even plastered with gold on the walls, and this must not be spared.

In fact, from the beginning of the war against Burma, the soldiers of the Ming army have gained some things. The officers didn't look down on the small things they came and went, and they didn't turn a blind eye and were not too harsh.

Gold and silver are only part of the spoils of war, and prisoners of war and population can be converted into money.

Fighting for the country, making meritorious contributions, and getting promoted to become wealthy, in many cases, these three are not contradictory. When combined, the incentive effect is even more pronounced.

Rejoice when you hear the battle, the division of tigers and wolves. This is what the emperor wants to achieve, to create an invincible hero for the Ming Dynasty to fight in all directions.

"Fire!" The rocket troops that arrived first had only a dozen launchers, but they shot dozens of rockets into the city in one go.

A rumbling explosion rang out, puffs of black smoke rose from inside the city, and screams could be heard outside the city.

Xu Hongyu commanded the headquarters and was arranging siege tactics. Quite simply, it is artillery bombardment, musket suppression, blasting from the city gate to attack the city.

Although Ava City is called a city, it can only be regarded as a big village compared with the majestic city in the Ming Dynasty. For the capture of this city, the Ming army can be said to be full of confidence.

The other Ming armies marched to all sides and surrounded the city of Ava, and were not prepared to come up with any superfluous strategy to encircle the city.

A cavalry galloped around the city, pursuing it to the west.

Bagan was occupied by the Siamese army, and the retreat route south of the Ava River had been cut off. The Burmese kings and princely ministers had no choice but to flee westward, and then southward, to Central Burma.

How can the fleeing team that has lost its soul resist the imposing iron horseman? As for how many people can catch up with and how much property can be grabbed, it is no longer a matter for the hot-blooded cavalrymen to consider.

Heavy firearms and ammunition continued to arrive under the city, lined up in rows, with muzzles and arrows pointing diagonally at the city of Ava.

Furlong cannons and heavy muskets were concentrated at the north gate, wooden rafts were brought in by native soldiers, and several iron boxes were specially used for blasting, which were pushed up by carts.

Wang Sanshan arrived at the city with his personal guards, and in the final battle, as the commander-in-chief, he had to personally give orders and witness the troops enter the city.

If you want fame, this is not surprising and normal. The emperor fulfilled the veteran's wish before retirement, and he also wanted to repay the emperor's favor with a happy ending.

"Resist to the end, bloody slaughter of the city!"

"Break through the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left."

………………….

The Ming army's strict battle formation, deterrent cannon muzzles, and murderous slogans formed a trembling coercive momentum under the city of Ava.

Wang Sanshan narrowed his eyes, listened to the information from various departments that the preparations had been completed, and slowly raised his hand. As long as you slam it, the overwhelming artillery fire will roar like thunder.

His hand stopped in mid-air, and Wang Sanshan saw that the banner at the head of Ava City had fallen. Then, the city gate opened, and several Burmese officials bent down and bowed their heads and walked out.

Hey! Sha Yuan put down the telescope in his hand, let out a few sneers, and said to the local official next to him: "The Burmese have surrendered, but they are still knowledgeable. ”

"Frightened by the bloodbath of the slaughter, right?" Na Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "Stubborn resistance is only an increase in casualties." ”

Dao Hejiang shrugged his shoulders, a little surprised by this ending, but it was reasonable.

The Ava River defense line is what the Burmese rely on the most, and once it breaks through, it is conceivable that it will suffer a heavy psychological blow, and it is normal to lose its will to fight.

Moreover, seeing those Burmese officials in the city, the Burmese king should have run away. The morale of the army and the people is lost, what can they do to resist the Ming army, which has strong firepower?

"I've heard that the imperial court has given several pacification envoys." Platts glanced at a few of the local officials and said uncertainly: "Divide the newly occupied Burmese land among these pacification envoys." ”

Sha Yuan pursed his lips secretly, this is not a secret, and only Platts has no brains and will say it in public. You see, everyone knows it and operates it secretly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Dao Hejiang couldn't help but laugh dryly, and said perfunctorily: "Brother Pu's news is quite accurate, anyway, there should be troops to send troops, you don't have to worry, just wait for the imperial court to arrange." ”

Really? Platts looked suspicious, and thought to himself: Why do they all look weird, and look at me as if they are looking at a fool.

There will definitely be a quota for those who contribute troops, there is no doubt about it. But is it just by the number of people, everyone knows that it is not like that.

In other words, the extra places given by the imperial court must be fought for. I just don't know what the basis for the imperial court is to pay taxes, food, and troops......

Moreover, Tusi such as Meng Mi, Mu Bang, and Meng Yang, although they saw the opportunity quickly, quickly returned to the Ming army and provided great help to the Ming army.

But the stain of attachment to Myanmar is not easy to wash away, at least the accusation of disloyalty to the Ming court. The imperial court may not punish too severely, but it is also a little difficult for these toasts to maintain the previous situation.
