Shenwei machine arrows roared in the streets and alleys of Baigucheng, and the Ming army attacked the capital of Mang's Donghu country.

Perhaps the siege of the Burmese army imaginary is not the case, the two armies in every street and alley in the city to fight for each other, in just two hours, the tragic street fighting not only made the Ming army empty all the firepower it can empty, but also half of the ancient white city into a scorched earth.

The whole city was deserted by soldiers and civilians, and the Ming army gradually exhausted after the initial fierce pursuit, and the battle line tended to stabilize, and the subsequent battle was no longer the Ming army to continue the attack, but to drive the Meng warriors who surrendered and rebelled to attack Mangying in their former capital again.

Baigu used to be the capital of the Mon Dynasty, and was conquered by Mang Yinglong, they invested in Mang Yinglong's army, and continued to pay blood and sweat for him to conquer the whole territory of Myanmar, it was not much to talk about how solid loyalty, several battlefield surrendered soldiers were properly taken care of by the Ming army, Chen Mu made a commitment to reissue gold red cards, surveys, and letters, more and more Meng soldiers fell to the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield.

Things got so bad that Mang Yingli still did not surrender, and his Burmese army still resisted stubbornly, and in accordance with his orders, they lit a beacon fire at the Baigujin Pagoda in the north of Baigu City.

"In the north, he also has an ambush army, if the general doesn't kill me, he can lead that ambush army to attack Mangyingli from the belly!"

"Can you control that ambush?" Chen Mu's Chinese army had moved to the Brahma Temple in the city, and he sat on a big chair and looked at the Ming scholars who were kneeling on the ground and being tied up, his eyes were full of distrust, and said, "If you can command them, why flee elsewhere? ”

It was none other than Chen An, who was trusted by Mang Yingli and was respected by the Burmese army as a military advisor.

On the morning when Baigucheng was broken by the Ming army, he broke away from the Chinese army in Mangyingli and led more than ten of his cronies to loot property from the city and prepare to escape.

Originally, he was able to run, but unfortunately he found the wrong person, swept away his belongings with Mang Yingli, and found the Portuguese who had already agreed as if he had found a life-saving straw, and asked him to take him out of Baigu, through the blockade of the Ming army, and was taken step by step by Portuguese merchants to Chen Mujun's camp, and found Pinto, who wrote the battlefield.

The Portuguese merchant said: This guy is a Ming man, he has great power in Burma, and he wants me to take him out of Burma.

After all, the Ming army attacked the city in a hurry, if Chen An escaped with his cronies, he might not be caught by the Ming army, and even if he was caught, the people around him who were heavily used were Luzon and Japanese people, and he would not necessarily be stopped by the banner army if he escaped by pretending to be a businessman.

However, he found such a Portuguese merchant who knew him well.

Who has the best relationship with the Portuguese in all of East Asia?

There is no doubt that it is Chen Erye, who defeated the Spaniards and controls Malacca and Haojing!

Isn't this a rabbit in a wolf's den!

Chen An wanted to cry without tears, and now all that can save him is a three-inch tongue, but the problem is that Chen Mu doesn't believe it.

"They really listen to me! I don't believe that the general asked me to go to the north of the city, Mang Yingli has already lit a beacon fire, or it won't be long before the elephant soldiers and horses will sweep down and attack the subordinates of the official army outside the city! ”

Chen Mu laughed when he heard this, and said, "Yo, this will be the official army?" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the banner army to take Chen An down, and snorted: "As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, persuade the Mang clan to attack the three Xuan and six comforts, and destroy the foundation of the imperial court, whoever does not die in Myanmar, this Chen An and Yue Feng will die!" ”

"Send someone to tell the news that there are enemy elephants in the north, tell them to be careful about their defense, and once they find war elephants, they will be killed with artillery, and General Lin will be careful."

Elephant soldiers have always been tricky things, and Chen Mu is far less easy than it seems, but he has no choice, obviously the source of Mang Yingli's unyielding fighting spirit at this time lies in the fact that he has the elephant soldiers outside the city early, and only by destroying them can Mang Yingli be completely defeated.

The reason why it was a complete rout was because in the process of street fighting in Baigucheng, the armies under Mang Yingli did not know how many times they had been defeated, but they were reorganized and continued to be sent to the battlefield, and they were defeated again and again in confrontations, and it was impossible for the Ming army to completely annihilate every army in the street battles.

Thus, despite the fact that some of the armies had defected in the war, Mang Yingli still had several thousand forces at his disposal to maintain his entrenched defenses in and around the northern part of the city.

From early morning to afternoon, Chen Mu knew very well that the three armies under his command were exhausted, and he had no strength to annihilate Mangyingli in one fell swoop, and his confidence was pinned on Lin Manjue's hands - if Lin Manjue could block the army that was Mangyingli's backhand, Baigucheng would belong to them.

But will Lin Manjue be able to stop the elephants?

No.

In the jungle north of the ancient city of Baigu, Lin Manjue got the news from Chen Mu from the city, and stopped wanting to attack the pagoda in the north of the city - Chen Mu actually asked him to fight elephants!

Lin Manjue felt that he couldn't stop the elephant soldiers, so he put his eyes on his shoulders, turned his head and gave orders to his subordinates: "The military order is like a mountain, there is no other way, the whole army listens to the order, and does its best to face the north and set up a formation to block the enemy." ”

In fact, they are even more tired than the main force of Chen Mujun, and in recent days, hundreds of thousands of people have migrated north through this place, they are first busy blocking and maintaining contact with various departments, and then they ignore these people with military orders, screening the rout of the Burmese army, plus escorting prisoners, and occasionally fighting against the rout, which is not much easier than Chen Mujun.

Not to mention that it is to block the elephant soldiers, it sounds like the war elephant is nothing more than a target, although the skin is rough and the flesh is thick and the body is huge, but with the thirty paces away from the drill bird gun round shot, the hundred-man gun team can also kill it with a salvo.

But that's not talking.

War elephants appear on the battlefield, sergeant riots are inevitable, and even a tough general will tremble; Within a hundred paces, the war elephant is rushing straight ahead, which army can not appear to be scattered? That's human instinct.

Lin Manjue specially selected seventy-two people from the clan children to dare to jump to the death, and the black King Kong carried the heavy weapons, once the war elephants broke through the line, they had to rely on them to fight and kill the war elephants in close combat - in fact, he made sufficient preparations, this was only the final decision.

No one wants to put their lives at the cost of their lives to stop the war elephants.

The sound of the artillery of the White Ancient City fell silent in the evening, and the two opposing armies, tacitly grasping for a short but precious rest due to exhaustion.

The Ming Empire's new firearms and adequate training changed the course of the war, and it was clear to anyone that the brief silence was only for a stormy offensive, and that the city of Bogu, which had been besieged by Mang Yinglong for seven months before being captured by a one-on-one duel between kings, was likely to lose the last trace of resistance in the street battles of the Ming army tomorrow.

The stubborn Burmese army had no more military spirit to speak of, and Mang Yingli announced that the whole army and told his soldiers that the ambush outside the city would arrive tomorrow, but this did not inspire much courage.

The ambush army was not far from the ancient city of Bai, and if they could come, they could arrive in an hour, but they had not heard from them for a whole day.

In the early morning of the next day, the war drums sounded in the city, and when the Ming army urged the Burmese troops to attack the northern Burmese army in Baigucheng again, Lin Manjue in the north outside the city was like a great enemy.

The guerrilla soldiers hidden in the jungle breathed heavily, Lin Manjue looked at the dense bushes a hundred paces away with a bird's gun, and the heavy footsteps of war elephants came from behind, and he heard someone over there shouting hysterically in jerky Chinese: "Don't attack, I know you're here, you knew it last night!" ”

In the midst of the stomping, a white elephant slowly protruded from the jungle and crashed into Lin Manjue's divine eyepiece.

In the middle of the ivory inlaid with gold and jade, a square flag is rolled up with a long elephant trunk, and the word 'descending' in ink can be vaguely seen on the drooping flag, and a person slowly peeks out from the luxurious chair in the elephant's back guard tower.

The man wore a handsome gold helmet on his head, tied with gold and wiped his forehead, and wore a treasure crown and two songs on the beam frame to stretch out of the tower, and even the armor of the Ming military generals was a meticulous and exquisite over-the-shoulder robe that showed both civil and military integrity, like a Portuguese arquebus erected in the tower, and he did not hold a weapon in his hand but held a pair of ivory folding fans that were the most fashionable in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in the past few years.

The folding fan stretched out of the elephant tower, and the man with the golden helmet on the tower was both arrogant and humble, and it was difficult for the two expressions to mix together, but he did it, raised his chin and asked in a non-standard Yunnan official dialect: "You are the heavenly army, have you heard of the fierce spoon?" Mang Yinglong is the elder brother of the fierce spoon. Don't beat me, if I hadn't helped you stop my brother in the north, he would have beaten me a long time ago, and I would have been a fierce spoon! ”
