Chapter 97 Ambush
"Chasing! Chase them!"
In the dense forest, a group of more than 30 Burmese warriors tracked the traces of the Ming army during patrol. Three knights with long swords led their infantry to sweep into the forest quickly.
Their soldiers had their own characteristics. The lower-level infantry generals wore iron helmets and held double swords, and their subordinates wore hair buns to hold swords and spears; the cavalry generals wore hats and helmets, similar to the Yuan and Ming styles, and were similar to the hats and helmets. The difference was that the Ming hats and helmets were mostly pointed tops, and the hats and helmets here had more Mongolian and Yuan big hat styles, combined with Sanskrit carvings.
The integration of Burmese soldiers and farmers is the root cause of Mang Yinglong's ability to form an army of 200,000. This military form often means that the lower-level army is weak, and the upper-level army is more powerful, and Myanmar is no exception.
Their military soldiers were promoted not based on military achievements, but on who could survive.
Infantry, horse army, and elephant army are the traditions of the arms of the countries on the Indochina Peninsula. In Myanmar, the heroes who were recruiting were infantry at the beginning. When they fought ten battles, they could be promoted to the horse army. When the horse army fought ten more battles, they would be promoted to the elephant army.
Compared with the two previous arms, and even compared with any army in the world, the Elephant Army's military pay is very generous, with fifty baskets of millet per month.
Although it is the millet that has not yet been shelved, it is more than 1,800 pounds, which is enough for them to raise a few servants and live a comfortable life for their families.
Such military pay is relocated to the place, and the price is equivalent to 13 s of rice per month, which is higher than that of a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty, and the salary of a thousand households is only half a stone.
The patrol team did not know that there were eyes staring at them in the dense forest through the divine eyepiece. Lin Manjue, who had not been washed for a long time, sat on the tree with his back, retracted half of his body and carefully stuffed the divine eyepiece into his waist, fastened the wooden pin, and then took out a piece of flint on the leather belt.
Lin Manjue is still the same as before.
After a long period of vicissitudes, his face was covered with dust. His hat and helmet was tilted to his head, frowning and raising his head, his face was scattered with gullies, and his beard mixed with food debris was curled by his helmet, but his eyes were mixed with blood, but his eyes were still sharp.
The same as the sloppy face is that the breastplate that should have been bright and reflective is covered with red mud and scratches, and the breastplate is covered with locks and skirts with many leaves.
What remains unchanged is the croaker-headed axe inserted into the belt around her waist, which is ferocious and shiny.
"There is no war elephant, go."
Lin Manjue on the tree couldn't say whether he was disappointed or grateful in his tone. He just whispered, and then he seriously fiddled with the long pole on his legs, regardless of whether the enemy was chasing him from a distance.
He put a divine eye on his leg and released dozens of guns in the past two months. Seeing that the second flint was no longer possible, he carefully unscrewed the faucet pole and quickly replaced it with the new flint that the craftsman had finely polished, and tried to shoot two sparks. Only then did he satisfied that the wear flint was put into the waist bag and loaded the bullet into the chamber.
The flint is very hard. When the craftsmen of the Military Bureau grind out the flint to be clamped and fixed in a neatly embedded faucet, the iron flint is often flinted by the flint. Even if the trigger force of the bird gun is strong, the small stone will not be easily worn.
But for gunners, especially those who are still in the experimental stage, who cannot achieve the optimal range and absolute accuracy, Lin Manjue must make the big gun in his hand have the best performance at any time, and the brand new flint is the most reliable. The 70% ignition standard when he recently took the bird gun out of the military weapon bureau.
The rate of fire is already very high. It not only involves the construction of the gun mechanism, but also related to the angle of the medicine pool cover, the shape of the flint, and the strength of the spring. In fact, if the flint alone strikes fire, it will be almost 100%.
But the more complex the machine is, the easier it is to have problems, and the more difficult it is to repair a problem.
This is where the flintlock mechanism is not as good as the flintlock gun machine at this stage.
Lin Manjue didn't care about the more than thirty enemy troops who were following them. Those traces were originally something he asked Black King Kong to deliberately stay. Whoever took the bait would die would not be buried. This had nothing to do with personal grudges, so he would naturally not bother about it.
The bravest tiger warrior in Melica, South Asia, was raised under the tree. The Black King Kong wearing iron armor and an iron hat helmet was still as brave as a thousand men. The two-edged three-pointed sword was inserted into the ground with a diagonal dance, and he brought him a dozen Nanmo fellow villagers to the pursuit of the Burmese army from afar.
Lin Xiao, who was wearing a dragon on his back and carrying a flintlock gun with a flag in his hand, was so handsome that he was traveling through the forest. Nearly 600 guerrillas were hiding in a radius of two miles. This ambush circle was not prepared for more than 30 people. If these Burmese troops fell here, they would die without life.
Lin Manjue cared about other things. He led his troops to wander around the 200-mile forest for more than two months. He captured more than 80 prisoners. He was surrounded by Bai Gu, including monk soldiers, Burmese, Meng tribes, and both patrols and regular soldiers. He had all had a fight and had a general understanding of the situation in the city.
He had too few troops and no artillery. He was scattered with more than 1,000 Pingyuan troops in the forest. He could not do big things, but he was tired of small things.
The sound of ambushing in the forest started. Even the Black King Kong who had danced under the tree was reluctant to bring a two-edged three-pointed sword to get together, let alone Lin Manjue on the tree. He just tilted his head and looked at it, and then he didn't ask any more. He took out the letters he had read several times in his arms and read them again.
The Minister of South China Sea called the next war the "Three-Eyed Gun on the Sea". The war would be sealed into the Naval Martial Arts Hall Library under this name, which made him ecstatic.
The so-called three-eyed gun is a direct attack from three sides, with the central army under the command of the Baigu Fortress Chen Shuai; the left wing army under the command of Bai Shuai Yangon; and his guerrilla army with only a thousand people.
In fact, it is no longer appropriate to call them guerrillas now. After the Battle of Annan, Lin Manjue served as a military general during the war, and his nephew Lin Xiao was promoted to guerrilla general. Therefore, he is now divided into two divisions, with more than 700 main troops in the headquarters and more than 600 gamblers in Lin Xiao.
In military positions, we must shoulder the mission of the front battlefield.
Although Lin Manjue never tried to fight against the enemy in one time.
The battle ended almost instantly. Since Lin Xiao's first hundred-man team fired guns, the three-sided muskets defeated more than 30 Myanmar patrol soldiers in one volley. They followed the rows of bird guns on the side of the road and released alternately. The Burmese army, who escaped the first volley, was even annihilated before they could surrender.
Lin Manjue jumped down from the tree, and the Black King Kong steadily caught the killing gun that was far longer than the bird gun, leading a group of American warriors who were also dressed in elite servants to follow suit. The flag army quickly cleaned the battlefield and swept the battle with no need for the general to order. They were each ready to pack up and transfer.
"Continue to go north, it's okay for us to attack the city. Let's go to set up a camp in the north and cut off their retreat."
