Chapter 107: Spoon
The divine power mechanism roared in the streets and alleys of Baigucheng, and the Ming army invaded the capital of the Mang clan Dongyu.
Perhaps the Burmese army imagined that the siege was not like this. The two armies fought repeatedly in every street in the city. In just two hours, the fierce street fighting not only caused the Ming army to fight all the firepower they could in the air, but also destroyed half of the Bai Ancient City into scorched earth.
The entire city of soldiers and civilians fled. After the Ming army experienced the initial relentless pursuit and fierce attack, the troops gradually became exhausted, and the front line stabilized. The subsequent war was no longer the Ming army continued to attack, but drove the Meng soldiers who surrendered and turned against each other again to attack the Mangyingli tribe in their past capital.
Bai Gu was the capital of the Meng Dynasty in the past, but was later conquered by Mang Yinglong. They joined Mang Yinglong's army and continued to sacrifice blood and sweat for him to conquer the entire territory of Myanmar. There was no such thing as solid loyalty. Several soldiers who surrendered on the battlefield were properly taken care of by the Ming army. After Chen Mu sent the promise of red cards with golden characters, Kanhe and Xinfu, more and more Meng soldiers turned to the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield.
Things were so bad that Mang Yingli still did not surrender. His Burmese army still resisted stubbornly and followed his orders to ignite the beacon at the Bai Ancient Golden Pagoda north of Bai Ancient City.
"In the north, he also had an ambush. If the general doesn't kill me, he can lead the ambush to attack Mangyingli from both sides!"
"Can you control the ambush?" Chen Mu's central army had moved to the Brahma Temple in the city, sitting on a big chair and looking at the Ming scholars who were kneeling on the ground and tied up. His eyes were full of distrust and said, "If you can command them, why should you escape elsewhere?"
The one who was tied up was not someone else, but Chen An, who was deeply trusted and respected as the military advisor of the Burmese army.
On the morning when Bai Gucheng was captured by the Ming army, he left the Mangyingli Central Army and led more than ten of his confidants to plunder money and prepare to escape.
Originally, he could run away, but unfortunately he found the wrong person and swept over his property with Mang Yingli. He looked for the Portuguese who had already agreed upon as if he had found a life-saving straw. He asked him to take him away from Baigu, pass through the Ming army blockade, and was taken step by step by step by Portuguese merchants to Chen Mujun camp, and found Pingto, who wrote a battlefield novel.
The Portuguese businessman said: This guy is a wise man. He has great power in Myanmar and wants me to take him out of Myanmar.
After all, the Ming army was in a hurry to attack the city. If Chen An escaped with his confidants, he might not be caught by the Ming army. Even if he was caught, the people who were valued around him were Luzons and Japanese, and he would not be blocked by the flag army when he was disguised as a merchant.
But he found a Portuguese businessman who knew him well.
Who in the whole of East Asia has the best relationship with the Portuguese?
There is no doubt that it is Mr. Chen Er, who defeated the Spaniards who controlled Malacca and Hao Jing!
Isn’t this a rabbit entering the wolf’s den?
Chen An wanted to cry but no tears. Now only one mouthful of three inches of tongue can be saved, but the problem is that Chen Mu doesn't believe it.
"They really listened to me! I don't believe that the general asked me to go to the north of the city. Mangyingli had already lit the beacon. It won't take long for the elephant soldiers to sweep down and attack the subordinates of the official army outside the city!"
Chen Mu laughed and said, "Oh, is this the official army?"
As he said that, he waved his hand and asked the flag army to take Chen An down, and snorted: "As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I persuade the Mang family to attack San Xuan and Liu Hui, and destroy the foundation of the court. Whoever does not die in Myanmar? Chen An and Yue Feng will die!"
"Send people to tell the troops outside the city about the news that there are enemy elephant soldiers in the north, so that they can do their best to defend themselves. Once they find the war elephant, they will be killed with cannons, so that General Lin will be careful."
The elephant soldiers have always been a tricky thing, and Chen Mu is far less relaxed than it seems, but he has no choice. Obviously, the source of Mang Yingli's unyielding fighting spirit at this time is that he had the troops of the Elephant soldiers outside the city early. Only by attacking and destroying them can Mang Yingli be completely defeated.
The reason for it was completely defeated was that during the street battle in Baigucheng, the troops under Mangyingli had been defeated many times, but they were reorganized and continued to be sent to the battlefield. They were defeated again and again after confrontation. The Ming army could not completely annihilate every army in street battles.
Therefore, although some troops turned against each other during the war, Mangying still had thousands of forces in his hands to maintain his defense in the north and outside the city.
From the early morning to the afternoon, Chen Mu knew very well that his three troops were exhausted and had no energy to wipe out Mang Yingli in one fell swoop. His confidence was placed in Lin Manjue's hands. If Lin Manjue could block the army that was Mang Yingli's backer, Bai Gucheng would belong to them.
But can Lin Manjue block the elephant soldier?
cannot.
In the jungle in the north of Baigucheng, Lin Manjue received news from Chen Mu from the city and stopped his attempt to attack the pagoda in the north of the city - Chen Mu actually asked him to fight the elephant!
Lin Manjue felt that he could not block the elephant soldier. He carried the Shenmu Gun on his shoulder and turned his head to pass an order to his subordinates: "The military order is like a mountain, and there is no other way. The whole army obeys the order and does its best to set up a formation in the north to block the enemy."
In fact, they were even more tired than the main force of Chen Mu's army. Recently, hundreds of thousands of people migrated northward through this place. They were busy blocking and maintaining contacts between various departments. Then they followed the military orders to ignore these people, identifying the Burmese army's defeated soldiers, and escorting prisoners, and occasionally fighting with the defeated soldiers, which is not much easier than Chen Mu's army.
What's more, it's blocking the elephant. It sounds like a war elephant is nothing more than a target. Although it is thick in skin, flesh and big in body, it can kill the bird gun wheel with thirty steps in the training.
But that's not talking.
When a war elephant appears on the battlefield, riots in sergeants are inevitable. Even a tough general will be trembling; if a war elephant rushes straight into the battlefield within a hundred steps, which army can not collapse? That is human instinct.
Lin Manjue was the target soldier, and specially picked out 72 people from the clan's children as a deaf jump. Hei King Kong prepared heavy weapons with him. Once the battle elephant broke through the front, they had to rely on them to fight and kill the battle elephant. In fact, he made sufficient preparations, and this was just the final determination.
No one hopes to use their lives to stop the war elephants.
The sound of cannons in Baigucheng fell silent in the evening, and the two hostile armies tacitly seized the short and precious rest time due to fatigue.
The new firearms and sufficient training of the Ming Empire changed the course of the war. Everyone knew very well that the brief silence was just to brew a storm offensive. Mang Yinglong besieged Bogu City, which was captured by the kings duel only for seven months, was likely to completely lose the last bit of resistance in the street battle of the Ming army tomorrow.
The Burmese army, which was fighting stubbornly, had no morale to speak of. Mang Yingli declared the entire army and told his soldiers that the ambush outside the city would arrive tomorrow, which did not inspire any courage.
The ambush was not far from Bai Ancient City. It could come and arrive in an hour, but they had no news for the whole day.
The next morning, the war drums sounded in the city. When the Ming army urged the Myanmar surrendered troops to launch an attack on the Burmese army in the north of Baigucheng again, Lin Manjue from the north outside the city seemed to be facing a great enemy.
The guerrilla soldiers hidden in the jungle breathed heavily. Lin Manjue held a bird gun and looked at the dense bushes a hundred steps away. The heavy footsteps of the battle elephant came from behind. He heard someone there shouting hysterically in a naughty Chinese language: "Don't attack, I know you are here, I knew you were here last night!"
As he stepped on his footsteps, a white elephant slowly emerged from the jungle and crashed into Lin Manjue's divine eyepiece.
Between the gold-clad ivory, a long elephant trunk is rolled up with a square flag. The ink-written word "公" can be vaguely seen on the ink-written script. A person slowly poked out from the luxurious chair in the elephant back guard tower.
The man had a handsome golden helmet on his head, a golden forehead wiping, and a golden wiping floated on the beam of the crown and stretched out to the outside of the tower. Even the Ming generals in the armor were dressed in detail, showing both civil and military uniforms, with a Portuguese mechanic and a Portuguese mechanic, and without holding weapons in his hand, he held a pair of ivory folding fans that were the most fashionable in the past few years of Yunnan and Guizhou.
The folding fan stretched out like a tower. The man with the golden helmet on the tower was both arrogant and humble. It was difficult to get along with these two expressions, but he did it, raised his chin and fucked a not-standard Yunnan Mandarin and asked: "You are the Tianjun, have you heard of Mengshao? Mang Yinglong is Mengshao's brother. Don't hit me that person who is holding the gun. If I hadn't helped you stop my brother in the north, he would have called me, and I would have been Mengshao!"
