The army that stretched for more than ten miles marched on the mountain road that was not too wide, and the symbols of the Golden Mansion and the White Elephant King, "Golden Building" and "White Elephant", all appeared in the relatively high position of the army.

The white elephant is easy to understand, it is the white Asian elephant, this kind of elephant has existed since ancient times, but the proportion is scarce, in Burma, Siam, and even Annam and other places are regarded as treasures and holy relics, it is strictly forbidden to serve as an envoy, and must be worshiped devoutly.

However, Mang Yingli's father, Mang Yinglong, thought that he was not an ordinary person, so after he came to power, he was called the "King of the White Elephant in the Golden Building", and took the white elephant as his mount and became the saint of the saint. Mang Yingli inherited his father's throne, as well as his white elephant mount, and several of the white elephants on this march were his mounts and spare mounts.

As for the Golden Building, there are two theories. One refers to the Kanbang Shadi Palace proposed by Mang Yinglong after the conquest of Bago by the Taungoo Dynasty, this palace has seven halls, each of which is golden, and looks like a golden city from afar. And its towering main hall seems to be the "Golden Building".

The other is to travel, Mang Yinglong since the Golden Building White Elephant King, not directly sit on the back of the white elephant, but on the white elephant equipped with a special ride, the ride is like a small building, but also the whole body is golden, rich and solemn.

It's just that this kind of ride is a bit heavy after all, and even the white elephant can't be carried for a long time, so when traveling, at most every two hours at most, another white elephant must be replaced.

The second-generation Golden Mansion White Elephant Wang Mang Yingli is now sitting on him riding the "Golden Mansion White Elephant" and slowly marching south with his army. More than 100,000 troops surrounded him, and there was even a gorgeous woman sitting beside him, but she didn't know if it was a concubine or what, she was holding a jade cup and feeding him wine.

But Mang Yingli just took a sip with an expressionless face and then waved his hand to push it away, signaling the gorgeous woman to transfer. The woman curled up and knelt on his side, almost on her side.

Mang Yingli raised his right foot, lifted the woman's chin with the tip of his boot, and without knowing what to say, the woman showed a flattering smile, kneeling and stepping back, the whole person was like a writhing but backward snake.

In the forest on the mountain, Liu Xin, who was hiding behind a tree with a cat's waist, snorted softly.

Liu Wei couldn't help but say behind another tree next to her: "This Mang's chief has a good life, I have lived a fucking life for more than 20 years, and it is the first time I have seen such a courtesy." ”

Liu Xin glanced at him: "You want to try it too?" ”

"This ...... Forget it, I guess it's going to be overdone. Liu Wei smiled dryly, and then asked, "Is it time to launch?" He went a little further, and it would not be convenient for me to catch him myself. ”

Liu Xin shook his head directly: "No, if you launch it now, the artillery and steel wheels in the ambush will not be able to fire all the thunderbolts, which will affect the effect of destroying the enemy, and when the time comes, the high school will blame it, how do you answer, big brother?" He made it very clear that the head of Mang Yingli is not important, but the important thing is to annihilate the main force of the Burmese army as much as possible and weaken the war potential of Burma. ”

Liu Wei replied: "Of course I remember Gao Gaocheng's words, but when I saw the posture of the reckless thief, I remembered one thing - we have planted so many mines, in case we blow up his golden building white elephant, there will be two less strange goods to invite merit." ”

Liu Xin shook her head and said, "It's all like this, do you still have the heart to think about this?" Invite merit and reward this kind of thing, the eldest brother can put 10,000 hearts at heart, just give it to the high school Cheng, those golden buildings and white elephants or something, add them together, it is useless for him to help you say a word. ”

Liu Wei felt justified when he thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I just need to fight." Then he asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Liu Xin held a small ruler in each hand and gestured a few times, as if she was calculating something, and quickly replied: "Half a pillar of incense is not enough, big brother can prepare." ”

"Just waiting for your words!" Liu Wei immediately began to tidy up his armor, and then made a few gestures to his subordinates, took out the war horse from behind with a cat's waist, touched the horse's chew, and patted the horse's neck, and said, "Bear with me, I can't make a sound now...... Let's get closer. ”

Although it is said that cavalry "does not enter the forest", it is not that well-trained war horses cannot travel in the woods, but because of their size, they cannot be fast, and they are not very agile. Still, it is possible to kill it out of the woods.

Besides, there are not many cavalry in Liu Wei's department, except for more than 100 horses, there are only 300 horses in total, which is regarded as Liu Ling's own personal guard cavalry, and the whole army is less than 500 horsemen together, a typical southern army.

He concentrated his headquarters, and saw that Liu Xin was also wearing a suit of armor and holding a war horse in his hand, so he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and said, "Xin'er, or you are here to observe the general trend......

Liu Xin raised her eyebrows: "Why, Deputy Huang can lead the army and conquer thousands of miles, and I, Liu Xin, can't get on the horse and can't kill the thief?" ”

"Why do you keep mentioning her?" Liu Wei smiled bitterly: "You know that eldest brother doesn't mean this, I just care about you." If you are injured, how can I explain to my father? ”

Liu Xin ignored him, and also checked his armor, weapons, and war horse, and then carefully led the war horse down the mountain.

Liu Wei sighed helplessly, beckoned to the surroundings, gathered a few people, and confessed: "Listen, it doesn't matter if you kill or not, when the time comes, Lao Tzu will kill you half." Your task is to keep an eye on the eldest lady, she just hurt a hair, and Lao Tzu also wants you to look good, do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Hello!"

Liu Wei nodded, and was about to follow Liu Xin up, but someone grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "Are we going to surround the eldest lady or ......?"

"Are you a pig's brain? You don't know how smart the eldest lady is? She can't see it when it's fenced? Liu Ling scolded like a cannon.

"Then let's ......"

Liu Wei glared: "Code, how does Lao Tzu know?" Figure it out for yourself! As he spoke, he left behind a group of guards who were peeking at each other, and followed Liu Xin away.

Although the scale of the Burmese army is large, the morale does not seem to be too high, and the military discipline is also very average, the whole team is in a mess, many people are talking to the people around them in a whisper, talking in the Burmese language, and from time to time sighing and shaking their heads.

They sent troops north this time, only at the beginning of the good results and results, by the Ming army began to shrink the defensive line strongholds, the Burmese army hardly made a decent breakthrough.

Especially after the temporary formation of the two battalions of Tengyue and Yongchang, the battle situation immediately went bad.

Tengyue's Liu Wei beat Yue Feng and other Tusi who took refuge in Myanmar to lose their helmets and abandon their armor, and they killed all the way to no one's land; Deng Zilong of Yongchang went directly south from Yongchang to block the pass, and the main force of the Burmese army was crushed to death, and he could not break through Yao Pass.

In this way, Yue Feng, who was originally planned by Myanmar, took Tengyue all the way, and Mang Yingli's main force took Yongchang, and then the two sides combined forces and went straight to Dali, and the plan to defeat the main force of Muchang Zuo Erhai was directly broken.

Immediately afterwards, there was more bad news, for example, Yue Feng even lost his old nest Longchuan, and the Xuanfu Divisions such as Nandian, Ganya, Longchuan, and Manmo changed their doors one after another, and their surnames were Zhu again.

And the situation on Mang Yingli's side is also not smooth, after Deng Zilong defeated Hanqian's father and son, he personally sat in Yaoguan and issued a war letter to provoke the Burmese king Mang Yingli. Mang Yingli was furious and attacked for several days, except for seven or eight thousand casualties in vain, he couldn't even go up to the city tower.

The Portuguese mercenaries, who relied on the Great Wall, also refused to come forward, saying that according to their observations, the firepower of the other side was very strong, and it was purely to seek death if they used their own people to go up and attack, and suggested that the White Elephant King should think of other methods.

But the White Elephant King didn't expect anything yet, and the bigger bad news came with Yue Feng.

Bago is lost!

The Meng people announced the restoration of the Meng State, but on the surface, it was known as the "Great Gula Military and Civilian Propaganda Division" - this was the "establishment" of the Meng State in the Ming Dynasty in the past.

Under the instigation of the Ming army, the waste of Abrabang actually appointed himself the "deputy propaganda envoy of the Dagula Military and Civilian Propaganda Department", and then recruited troops and horses to win over the remnants of the Meng people. As a result, in less than ten days, the thirteen cities of the old Bago land directly reversed six, nearly half!

Fortunately, among the five important towns in the old land of Meng, Bosheng, Tuwa, and Madu Basan are still under control, and only Bagu and Daguang have been lost, and the situation can still be recovered in Mang Yingli's opinion.

But it can't be delayed any longer, and if it drags on any longer, once the entire old land of Meng is completely reversed, it will not be a big trouble that can be solved in the short term.

So Mang Yingli decided to withdraw immediately, but before withdrawing the army, Yue Feng, who had lost his capital, felt that he could not be so obscure, and took the initiative to offer advice.

Yue Feng said that the direct withdrawal of the army would inevitably be contained and harassed by Deng Zilong, so it was better to pretend to launch a large-scale offensive first, so the whole army withdrew a little later, leaving Deng Zilong's nose, and then making the appearance of cutting down trees and collecting boulders.

Yue Feng said that in this way, Deng Zilong was worried about the offensive of our army, and he would definitely go all out to prepare for the battle, so naturally he would not be able to find out that our army had withdrawn.

Mang Yingli was overjoyed and immediately complied, but Deng Zilong really did not pursue. Mang Yingli then went south boldly with confidence, until now.

It's just that although the evacuation went smoothly, after all, this trip to the north not only fell short, but even caused a fire in the backyard. Mang Yingli was still very annoyed in his heart, and even the beauty that Lanna offered couldn't make him happy.

Moreover, the battle in northern Burma was fought so fiercely that even if he stabilized the south after he went south to quell the rebellion, the situation in the north had changed greatly, and he was afraid that his business over the years would be ruined, which also made his mood even worse.

Just when he was thinking about the lawsuit, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of "chirp-", the voice was sharp and abnormal, and the eardrums were sour when he heard it, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

Mang Yingli raised his head to follow the prestige, but saw a red flame rushing up to the sky, and then exploded with a "bang", turning into a little spark.

Mang Yingli is not a new battle, he has fought with his father for at least twenty years, and at a glance he knows that this must be some kind of signal flare, and he is ready to drink to order his subordinates to pay attention to the sneak attack.

However, someone was faster than him, and his uncle Mangzhuo, who was sitting on another ordinary elephant with his eyes closed, had already reacted very quickly and shouted in Burmese: "Enemy attack! Defend on the spot and don't panic! ”

Mang Yingli breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was not careless, but also shouted: "All the armies before and after the herald order, defend on the spot, and don't run around!" ”

At this time, the surrounding soldiers had already begun to spontaneously surround Mang Yingli at this time, protecting him in the middle.

Mang Yingli was wondering why the Ming army in ambush had not yet moved, when suddenly there was a sudden cannon fire in the mountains in front of him, and solid cannonballs hit the crowd one after another.

These solid shells didn't have any explosive power, but it was quite easy for each shell to fall into a dense crowd and kill a few people. In addition, the injury of "smashing" often makes people's flesh and bones fly and blood splashes, but it looks quite terrifying.

Mang Yingli didn't expect that the Ming army hadn't been killed yet, so he came first with an artillery bombardment, although he couldn't figure out how the Ming army had placed the cannon in such a place in advance, but at this moment, he couldn't take care of it, and without saying a word, he ordered the surrounding elephant slaves to lift the golden ladder and let him go down first to avoid the limelight - he also felt that the goal of staying on the white elephant in the golden building at this time was too obvious.

As soon as the white elephant got off, I suddenly heard a loud roar from the front army that was louder than the artillery bombardment, "Bang! Bang! Bang! There were more than a dozen explosions in a row, and then all kinds of heart-rending shouts came from the Chinese army from miles away, and everyone was terrified to hear it.

"What's going on, what kind of cannon is this, why is it so loud?" Mang Yingli was also frightened by this series of loud noises, and grabbed the Portuguese military adviser beside him and asked.

"Sorry, Your Majesty. I, I've never heard of such a fierce land artillery, generally only a long and heavy cannon in a naval cannon would be made so huge, and ...... The sound of the long and heavy cannon seems to be a little different from this giant cannon, this sound is too muffled, I suspect that this is the secret weapon of the Ming people. ”

The secret weapon is not wrong, because landmines are not popular in Europe, and this thing was not noticed in the European weapons system until the Russo-Japanese War, and it is estimated that there is not even a shadow of it now.

However, China has long had similar weapons, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was developed very comprehensively, there are a large number of mines of various patterns on land, and there are many mines in the water, such as the "underwater dragon king cannon" and the like are representatives.

However, the original mines and mines were relatively primitive, not very powerful, difficult to detonate, and they always liked to make some vain things on them.

Before Gao pragmatic officially set foot in the military industry, he handed over some of the improved mine and mine design drawings to Qi Jiguang for testing, and later Jinghua had its own military industrial system, and the development of these things became more in line with the "right direction" of historical development.

The mines used by Liu Wei today are the so-called "spontaneous fire of steel wheels" type mines, but they are a strengthened version.

How to strengthen it? This kind of mine itself is triggered by stampede, but under Gao Yi's transformation, Jinghua has made a "continuous mine" structure, that is, these mines are connected by fuses.

As long as one is stepped on, the steel wheel hits the flint and ignites the spark, igniting the fuse doped with phosphorus powder and other substances, which will not only detonate the mine itself, but also ignite the other mines connected, and the mines over there will continue to detonate more mines, forming a "continuous explosion".

The former army stepped on a mine, which led to the explosion of more than 10 mines in a row, and one person was blown up, and for a time there was a wail all over the ground.

In fact, they are lucky, because limited to the manufacturing level of this era, even Jinghua's products will often be dumb, especially this kind of thunder, if one is broken in the middle, the follow-up may be gone.

In fact, there were a total of 30 thunderbolts in this series just now, but only about half of them exploded before they stopped, and as for what the problem was, no one knows now.

But that's enough.

A golden flare burst into the sky again, and the artillery fire on the mountain suddenly weakened.

If there was still anyone in the Burmese army at this time who could calmly listen to it, then he should have found that the front and rear troops were still under artillery bombardment, and only the artillery of the Chinese army had stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the mountains on both sides of the Burmese army suddenly shook the sky, and countless Ming soldiers threw away the camouflage of grass, wore the thin mandarin duck battle robe in the south, and killed them in armor.

A very fierce Ming general rode the best Uzhumuqin horse and jumped out with a horse chopping knife. With a casual sword, he slashed an unlucky ghost Burmese soldier in front of him in half, and the splatters of blood stained half of his face.

General Ming let out a terrifying roar from his mouth, pointed in the direction of the white elephant in the Golden Mansion and shouted: "Where is Mangying?" Have you ever prepared a thief? Grandpa came to pick it up! ”

As soon as this Ming general entered the battlefield, he was publicized to this point, who else could he be besides Liu Ling?
