Xu Qingshan didn't give the Burmese army a chance to breathe, he knew that the Burmese king had even sent out the crown prince and the royal city guards, this was their dying counterattack!

As long as you continue to maintain a strong attack, it will be effortless to take Donghu City!

On the sixth day of December, the Ming army ran into the Burmese army in ambush on the way to the army, which was still the Janissary Guard of Wangcheng.

The military structure of Burma is a loose military alliance, and the elite troops of the Burmese king are within the national capital, and only the strength of the Janissaries can maintain the strength of the Burmese king's power.

Therefore, the Royal Janissary is the most combat-ready army in the Burmese army!

Obviously, the strong army of Burma was nothing more than a small thing in front of the Ming army, and Xu Qingshan quickly defeated this ambush army, killing more than 600 enemies and capturing five Burmese generals alive.

The Ming army tortured these five Burmese generals, and after killing two, they learned from the mouths of the remaining three Burmese generals that the Burmese king Mangbai sent out all 10,000 Janissary Guards, and there were almost no soldiers available in Donghu City, only one king guard!

Xu Qingshan was overjoyed when he heard the news, and continued to urge the army to advance, and arrived at a place thirty miles outside Donghu City, where the forward troops of the Ming army collided with a Praetorian Guard, and the two armies continued to strangle together.

The Praetorian Guard was slaughtered and retreated, and many of the cavalry were shot to death, and fled back to the rear camp in panic, turning from attack to defense, and no longer coming out to fight.

Despite the Ming army's teasing several times, the Praetorian Guards still did not move, waiting for you to call.

According to the investigation of the night, it was found that the camp on this high ground was actually stationed in the English army!

However, judging by the number of them, there were less than 1,000 people, and the news was immediately reported at night.

When Xu Qingshan and the others heard this, they just smiled.

These days, the Ming army has been like a bamboo, many times defeated the most elite Janissaries of the Burmese army, seeing that the enemy military state is in front of you, the morale is unprecedentedly high, and the English army of less than 1,000 people is a ball?

After repairing the troops, Xu Qingshan, accompanied by his generals, climbed the mountain to inspect the British army camp on the opposite high ground, and eighteen soldiers of the Royal Forest Army guarded the whole process.

These eighteen officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army not only served as Xu Qingshan's personal guards, but also were responsible for delivering military reports to the palace and reporting the front-line battles at any time.

However, they were very well-behaved, and they didn't say a word about Xu Qingshan's decision-making, but just acted seriously as a tool.

Xu Qingshan looked at the British army camp in front of him, showed a relaxed smile, and said to the left and right: "The camp here, compared to the Jiangtou City Village, is like child's play, pass the order down, and break it in half an hour!" ”

From beginning to end, he didn't pay any attention to these East India Company mercenaries!

After the order was issued, the Ming army's Tengpai regiment took the lead in attacking the Burmese army on the high ground from the front, and at the same time, three more regiments of troops attacked from different directions.

Obviously, Xu Qingshan wants to eat all the Burmese and British troops and not give them a chance to escape!

Under the cover of artillery fire, the black-pressed Ming army rushed up the slopes of the highlands and fired at the Anglo-Burmese troops on the mountain one after another.

The British East India Company was ostensibly a commercial trading enterprise, but in fact it received a charter from the British Crown to assist in the rule and military functions, and to train mercenaries.

These mercenaries were ostensibly owned by the feudal princes of India, but in reality these feudal princes were "protected" by the East India Company and were in the service of the British.

The troops of the British East India Company, commanded by professional European officers, played an extremely important role in the British occupation of India.

It can be said that without this mercenary army, the British would not have been able to conquer India.

The British soldiers in red uniforms behaved very professionally, both in terms of shooting posture and accuracy, which were the best enemies encountered by the Ming army.

Although the British army only has 800 people, with the help of the momentum of the terrain, it can reach the main force of 5,000 Burmese troops!

In the face of the muskets of the British army and the darts of the Burmese army, the Ming army directly set up the Ming version of Gatling - the Mingwu machine gun!

The Mingwu machine gun is basically the same as the Gatling of later generations, regardless of the shape or principle, the cottage is very in place!

Prior to this, the Ming Army was equipped with the Wujiu Thunderbolt Gun similar to the early Gatling, but the Wujiu Thunderbolt used paper shell bullets, and the barrel rotated once to complete the loading, firing and unloading of six rounds of ammunition, with a rate of fire of only 200 rounds per minute.

The improved Gatling by Xu Mingwu uses independent metal cartridge shell ammunition, which overcomes the problem of the coaxial coaxial of the independent chamber and the rifle, and increases the rate of fire to a maximum of 1,200 rounds per minute, which is a sixfold increase!

This rate of fire, for the experts of the military and the Royal Academy of Sciences, is undoubtedly amazing!

Some people questioned the actual combat performance of the Mingwu machine gun, so the military department mailed two doors over and tested them on the battlefield in Burma!

"Dadada!"

In the roar of the Mingwu machine gun, the barrel rotated rapidly, countless bullets were sprayed, and the copper bullet casings were sprinkled on the ground, and the British and Janissaries who were counterattacking on the hillside were shot with blood and flesh flying, which was unbearable!

The British-Burmese soldiers who were lucky enough to be alive were so frightened that they hid behind the camp with their heads in their hands, suppressed on the hillside and did not dare to move.

Among them, the British army's performance was touching, only to see an officer waving a white flag, hiding behind the wooden village desperately shouting bird language, which probably means: Misunderstanding, we don't fight, there is something to say!

What answered him was the artillery fire of the Ming army!

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded on the mountain, and then countless shells flew up the British camp, which was immediately shrouded in a thick smoke of gunpowder, and the conspicuous white flag disappeared directly.

The Ming army's mortars and grenadiers bloomed in the air five meters above the ground, and the British and Burmese troops on the mountain suffered heavy casualties.

The officers and men of the Praetorian Guard from Wangcheng had never seen such bombs blooming overhead, and there was nothing to hide, and there was a sudden chaos on the top of the mountain, and some Burmese soldiers were frightened by the flying shrapnel, and threw down their weapons and ran around without a head, and were soon blown up to a different place.

In the face of absolute strength and death, the British troops from the western adventures also performed poorly, lying in the corners like turtles one by one.

In just a quarter of an hour after the start of the war, the Anglo-Burmese defense line was completely shaken, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to cover up and occupy the high ground, chasing the remnants of the Burmese Janissaries out of ten miles!

In contrast, the British behaved more calmly, not only did they not run, but they came over to say hello with a smile on their faces.

The British commander danced and talked endlessly in stiff Chinese about the traditional friendship between the English Republic and the Ming Dynasty.

"Fuck you! Disgusting! ”

The irascible Ma Xianglin slapped him to the ground and spat at him again.

The British commander endured the pain, opened his mouth with a leaky mouth that had been knocked out of his teeth, and shouted vaguely: "Our two countries are friendly to each other, these are all misunderstandings, long live the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army is mighty!" ”

Xu Qingshan looked at the foreigner officer coldly, and when he saw his face, he suddenly pulled out his handcuff and shot him twice in the head.

After finishing the matter, he said lightly: "If you were really so friendly, you wouldn't be here!" ”

I wanted this chapter to end the Myanmar plot, but I ended up writing more than 3,000 words before I finished it, so I had to separate, and the next chapter ended.
