Mu Tianbo on the east road took a shortcut, and there were naval officers and soldiers who had already arrived at the Bison Dam to make ships (the kind that was directly assembled with wood), and these naval officers and sailors could only act as sailors aggrieved.

After Mu Tianbo received the military order, he led his troops to attack Duman, and then prepared to meet Xu Qingshan.

When Mu Tianbo arrived at Duman, the Burmese army had already retreated, but the news came at night that the Burmese army had prepared a land and water army in the area of Laoguantun and Xinjie, and there were already reconnaissance boats of the Burmese army patrolling on the river.

Obviously, the Burmese army already knew that the Ming army was going to attack Jiangtou City.

When the Ming army was heading south, the Burmese army, which had received the news, sent several small boats to search for the traces of the Ming army, and more than 80 Burmese sailors drove light boats north along the Irrawaddy River.

There was a slight fog on the river, and the Burmese sailors were very vigilant at first, but after three days of calmness, they floated one by one, thinking that there would be no Ming troops on the waterway from Jiangtoucheng to Yeniuba, so they boldly continued to row north.

When passing through the waters of Song Meng, a Burmese sailor seemed to see something unusual on the overgrown shore on both sides, and when he opened his eyes wide and was about to take a closer look, he only heard a burst of gunshots, and the alert soldier was shot dead on the spot, and his body fell into the river.

The rest of the sailors were so frightened that they immediately turned around and paddled wildly.

Burmese's long-tail warships are characterized by their speed and agility, which is also the basis for the self-confidence of the Burmese sailors.

However, they did not expect that the muskets of the Ming troops lying in ambush on both sides of the bank would be faster! The rate of fire was faster than they could paddle, and after only a few minutes, all that remained on the river was a patch of corpses and a mess of long-tail boats.

Mu Tianbo left a few tongues and handed them over to the arrangement of the Burmese army to be tortured at night.

On October 13, Xu Qingshan arrived at Yeniuba, and the two armies of the Ming army met.

The good news is that Mu Tianbo has built 120 warships, and the Ming army can go down the Irrawaddy River and directly attack the Burmese army Dazhai in Jiangtou City!

However, the warships built by the Ming army temporarily were not warships, the largest warships could only accommodate 50 people, there were 40 ships, 40 ships of the second class, which could accommodate more than 30 people, and 40 ships of the third class, which could accommodate a small number of sailors and small-caliber artillery, which the Ming army used to equip mortars.

More than 100 warships have formed a strong combat force on the wide Irrawaddy River, and the Ming army is about to officially attack Jiangtou City!

On the 17th, Admiral Gan Hui personally led the warships from the Twilight Man Shun Irrawaddy River to the south, and met 20 Burmese warships sailing against the water on the river, and the artillery battle between the two sides began!

Gan Hui is a capable general under Zhu Chenggong, Hou of Yanping, who participated in the recovery of Taiwan in his early years and served in the Japanese Navy.

Let him deal with the Burmese sailors, and the Ming court can be regarded as giving Burma face.

The Burmese ships were dominated by long-tail boats, with guns mounted at the bow and stern, flanked by oared sailors, and then accompanied by some musketeers.

The long-tail ship was characterized by its agility and speed, but it did not take a hit, but it had shipboard guns provided by the British, and the rate of fire was good.

However, Gan Hui did not give the Burmese army an advantage in speed, and ordered a mortar bombardment, which was fired at the Burmese warship along with the poisonous smoke bombs.

Compared with the rate of fire and the power of shells, the Ming army is leading in the world, and it has not lost any country, and even the artillery and shells in the British army are still high imitations of the Ming army!

The apprentice of the apprentice, how to fight with the master?

"Bang! Boom! Bang ......"

I don't know how many explosions were made, the fire on the river was soaring, the eight Burmese warships were blown to pieces in an instant, the poisonous smoke in the sky blew to the back warships, and the other Burmese warships turned around and ran, and stopped while running, and the Burmese sailors above spat at the foam and fell into the river.

The Ming army won the first battle of the water war, and it was effortless!

Then, the Ming army continued to march and conquered a Burmese army camp in Xinjie, an important town at the front of Jiangtou City, killing 629 enemies, capturing five alive, capturing the horses and many equipment of the Burmese army, and also winning the first battle on land.

The Ming army occupied this place last time, and finally was forced to withdraw due to the serious illness of the commander Li Dingguo.

This time, Xu Qingshan is determined to defeat Jiangtou City!

The Ming army is being ruthless, and the Burmese army is also screaming.

When the Ming army arrived in Duman, the commander of Jiangtou City, he quickly sent someone to inform the Burmese king Mangbai, he had been stationed in Laoguantun for many years, and he was guarding here in the first few battles, but this time the intention of the Ming army made him understand that the Ming Dynasty was serious!

The usurpation of the Burmese king Mang Bai, as soon as he received the news, issued an urgent order to the local governors, asking them to quickly lead troops to Jiangtou City to support.

Nafaro, commander of the Burmese artillery corps, commanded 36 elite troops, 36,000 men, hundreds of war elephants, and 4,000 war horses, marching from the west bank of the Irrawaddy River to Jiangtou City to support the east bank of Laoguantun.

Also known as the right prime minister Mahaduluo, he led 50 naval armies, a large army of 50,000 people, and went directly by water to support Jiangtou City, which was also fought by land and water to meet the Ming army.

On 19 October, the Burmese Army's land vanguard arrived, a portal unit led by Meng Mi Tusi and the Burmese Army's vanguard force, including many improvised Boiling Lips (Savages) tribes.

The vanguard of the Ming army was led by the deputy general Ma Xianglin, who led a regiment of infantry of the Ming army, as well as his own stone pillar and white pole soldiers, to wait in formation.

Ma Xianglin is the son of the female general Qin Liangyu and the Shizhu Xuanfu envoy Ma Qiancheng, and his mother Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to participate in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River in Liaodong, pacified the rebellion of Sichuan Luxury Chongming, Chongzhen entered the king of Beijing Qin for three years, and also beat Zhang Xianzhong who tried to enter Sichuan.

Qin Liangyu is the only heroine in history who is a famous general of the dynasty and has been recorded in the official history of the generals, and even Chongzhen can't help but compose four poems to praise her.

In the fifth year of Tianwu, Qin Liangyu died, and Zhu Cihong issued an order to posthumously call him a "loyal marquis".

Because of the courtesy of the Ma family, Ma Xianglin, as the Sichuan Tusi, supported the imperial court in the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, took the initiative to give up the hereditary position of Tusi, and volunteered to serve in the Southern Military Governor's Office.

Ma Xianglin is over 60 years old this year, but his body is very tough, as early as the first year of the Apocalypse, he was transferred to Shanhaiguan with his mother Qin Liangyu to collect the Houjin.

That year, Ma Xianglin encountered the Houjin army outside the pass, and was shot in the eye by the arrows of the Eight Banners, not only did he not run, but also pulled out the arrow cluster in pain, and shot the Eight Banners soldiers in the distance with a bow and arrows, and fired three arrows in a row, killing the other party, and frightened the Eight Banners Army to retreat for several miles.

Ma Xianglin has always advertised himself as Huang Zhong, the general of Shu Han, and he calmly looked at the military formation of the Burmese army opposite.

I saw that the Burmese army's portal soldiers were complex, with various long, square, and triangular flags covering the field, some of which were painted striped patterns, some were animals, and some were completely incomprehensible characters.

As he expected, these Burmese soldiers are the troop identifiers of Tusi soldiers and tribes in various places, and the Burmese army's gateway soldiers are all like a big brother in the underworld, with all kinds of tattoos, and the weapons they hold are spears, long knives, and more iron weapons of different lengths.

Occasionally, there would be a war elephant in the middle of the army of several hundred men, but the war elephant was very poorly equipped, and there was no seat or weapon rack on the elephant's back, and it was an elephant slave riding on it with a large long knife.

Ma Xianglin looked at it for a long time, and felt that this army looked more like it was here to do things than to fight.

On the other side is clearly a rabble!

Ma Xianglin became angry all of a sudden, and shouted at the herald beside him: "Damn, play music to attack, beat them to death for Lao Tzu!" ”
