Chapter 99 Encounter

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and it is almost winter, and the nights in Myanmar are still hot and humid.

The golden pagoda is towering in the north of Baigu City. The nervous Mang Yingli knelt down piously under the tower, waiting for news from the front line.

Aide Chen An stood behind him, bowed slightly and folded his hands together. His uneasiness was only much greater than that of Mang Yingli.

The reason was no different. A few days ago, the order for the transfer of 5,000 troops to the north in the ancient city of Bibai was sent to the north. Four were defeated by the Ming army. Only one had the elephant soldiers and the entire army. The rest of the scattered soldiers and bravely defeated the north was not the order of the main force of Mang Yinglong in the north.

In fact, the north is still in the confrontation stage, and both sides are waiting for the fighter plane and have not started a war with great fanfare. The latest news from Bai Gu said that the Ming army was still planning to discuss peace with the White Elephant King - as for whether it was a delaying plan, no one knew, but both sides wanted to slow down at this moment.

The Ming army was not well versed in the terrain and hygiene, and a few soldiers were sick. Mang Yinglong originally wanted to deal with Meng Yang's Sigu, but he was not prepared to go directly to fight with the Ming army, not to mention that he was attacked from both sides. If the Ming army in Baigu and Yangon were not removed, he always had worries and did not dare to fight with the Ming army.

Chen Mu was waiting for the war in the north to come to an end, but he didn't know that everyone was waiting for his battle.

If the Nanyang Army wins, the strategy of attacking from both sides and back has been established. The Ming army in the north can advance. Not to mention annihilation of Mang Yinglong in a battle, the army was shaken. It is still expected to drive him back to the Xuanwei Office of Myanmar.

When the Nanyang Army was defeated, Mang Yinglong had no worries and could face the Daming Army in the north with all his heart. If he could win this battle, he would naturally be arrogant and storm into Yunnan and take a walk.

Zhaomang Yinglong's understanding of the court, they always despise the Three Propagandas and Six Comforts in the Southwest. It is very likely that when Yunnan is threatened, the first thing they think of was peace talks. Once peace talks, it would be equivalent to acknowledging the independent status of the White Elephant King. After three or five years, he would be able to achieve the second great cause of unifying Myanmar!

Chen An was not pious in praying. It was difficult for a Ming person to be as devout as a Burmese to be extremely pious in Buddhism. He asked him to bow and pray here because he saw very clearly how important the Baigu battle in the Ming-Myanmar War was. He also unexpectedly entered the Myanmar decision-making level, which was the real source of pressure on him.

He sent the five thousand-man teams, not Mang Yinglong's troops. The soldiers were roughly 3,000 left. They were moving dozens of miles north of Baigu. They agreed to see wolf smoke rising from the pagoda and heading south. Their mission was to join forces to fight south after the Battle of Baigu began, defeat the Ming army that was active in Baigu, and then use the Xiang army and the Cavalry Army to launch an attack on the Ming army besieged outside the city.

At that time, the Myanmar army in the city will also go out to fight, and both inside and outside will break through the Ming army's defense line in order to win the entire battle!

What he prayed was that the Ming army took the bait and mistakenly thought that Bai Gucheng was empty and sent troops to attack.

If this battle is won, his status in Myanmar will also rise in the future; but if he loses, he may have to choose between losing favor and having different body and head.

There is no way. The fortress, which was the Ming army camp, was too strong and could not be broken by them at all. Moreover, if there were ships and cannons, they would probably not be able to attack for a long time. It would be better to let the enemy siege their city. From top to bottom, including Chen An, the Ming aide, all the Ming people, believed that the artillery fired from the fortress were ships and can no longer be played with the heavy artillery outside the sea.

There was no way. From beginning to end, the Burmese army besieged the fortress for two or three months and never broke through the outer trench defense line. They had neither eyepiece nor hot air balloons. Where could they see whether the shells fired several miles away were from sea or land?

Being heavily bombarded by artillery fire is already a headache, who will still have the leisure and leisure?

The little prince Mang Yingli was able to kneel in front of the pagoda for two hours, so he simply turned the army camp. Chen Anke couldn't do it. He walked around and bowed, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't leave. This annoyance made him even more imaginative.

He wanted to defeat Chen Mu's power alone in Myanmar after he was defeated, and he also wanted to escape from Myanmar after he was defeated, and where should he escape - he contacted several trusted captains who were still staying in Baigu City. If the war was not good, if he could escape the search that had begun by the city break, he might be able to hide in the Portuguese cabin and leave India.

Chen Mu was in power in Nanyang, so he could only escape to a place where the Ming Dynasty had not yet been involved.

It is not safe to escape to Goa. In the plan, that was only Chen An's first stop. He hid his identity in Goa and continued to enter the Mughals north. I heard that Akbar was quite good to foreigners. With his talent and wisdom, he should be able to be an aide.

The rider who was galloping with fire in the distance from Bai An ancient city to the pagoda interrupted Chen An's escape plan. He turned around and opened the folding fan. The soldiers around him should not disturb the Mang Yingli worshipped Buddha. He stepped down the tall steps until he approached the rider, and then whispered: "Speak in a low voice, how about you?"

This voice is not loud. If it is bad news, he must first think about how to stabilize the Mang Yingli and sweep the property and escape from Myanmar.

But immediately afterwards, Chen An threw this idea away from the sky, and the rider looked very anxious, but what he said was not bad news for them. He said: "Please report to His Highness the Prince. The Ming army attacked, and the vanguard was three thousand soldiers. They came from Hexi Road and the East Gulin. They met my ambush. When they were descending, the Ming army had not yet been slapped!"

"Uh-hahahaha!"

After a brief depression, Chen An could no longer stop his heart's heart. He was kneeling down without any hesitation. He closed the folding fan and spread it out again, and shouted three times in a row: "Okay! OK! OK!"

When he turned his head, he faced the unhappy face in the mug Ying under the pagoda, and said, "What are you laughing at when you are a military advisor?"

"Hmph, the student laughed at Chen Mu's no-brain, Gao Gong Shaozhi!" At this moment, Chen An wanted to wear a lumber scarf and dance the feather fan in his hand. He couldn't feel embarrassed when he spoke the words in the book. From head to toe, he was full of wisdom beads, holding the black bone mud fan, strode towards Mang Yingli and said: "Come to report to the south, the prince has already been transferred from the mountain, and the three thousand Ming troops left the fortress and headed north, and were ambushed in the south of my Chen Bu. The war has just begun."

"Ming Jun is here?"

The angry look inside Mangying swept away, and he couldn't help but smile slowly, and pointed his fingers south, saying, "He, did he really leave the fortress? In this way, what else can the Ming army rely on? Our army is just around the corner!"

"The prince is not yet proud at this time. Although there are many ambushing troops, there are only a thousand five hundred. Even if the left and right soldiers rush to help, there are only more than four thousand. In this battle, our army needs a great victory. Taking advantage of the difficulty of the enemy's baggage, we will send another three thousand soldiers and the Xiang army to a wake-up call, and then kill his spirit in one battle!"

After all, I was worried about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. I still felt that it was not safe enough to fight 4,000 to 3,000. Even if both sides had no stalemate in the field, they would have to double the army to make people feel at ease.

This is also true of Mang Yingli. He immediately ordered: "Send, send troops quickly!"
