The moon is sparse, and the winter moon is approaching, and the nights in Myanmar are still hot and humid.

In the north of the ancient city of Bai, the golden Buddha pagoda is towering, and the reckless Yingli who is worried in his heart kneels down under the tower and waits for news from the front line.

Staff member Chen An stood behind, bowed slightly and folded his hands, and the apprehension in his heart was much more than that of Reckless Yingli.

There is no other reason, some time ago, 5,000 troops were transferred to the north from the ancient city of Bai, four were defeated by the Ming army, only one had elephant soldiers and the whole division, and the rest of the scattered troops bravely routed to the north.

In fact, the north is still in the confrontation stage, both sides are waiting for fighters, and there is no fanfare, and even the latest news back to Baigu says that the Ming army is still planning to negotiate peace with the White Elephant King - as for whether it is a delaying tactic, no one knows, but both sides want to slow down at this moment.

The terrain of the Ming army was unfamiliar, the hygiene was not good, and a small number of soldiers were sick; Mang Yinglong originally just wanted to clean up Meng Yang's Sigu, but in his heart he was not ready to directly start a war with the Ming army, not to mention that he was attacked by the enemy on his back, and the Ming army in Baigu and Yangon was not uprooted, he always had worries and did not dare to fight with the Ming army.

Chen Mu waited for the outcome of the war in the north, but he didn't know that in fact, everyone was waiting for him.

If the Nanyang army wins, the strategy of flanking the back has been achieved, and the Ming army in the north can enter, not to mention the annihilation of Mang Yinglong in a battle, and the army will be shaken to drive him back to Burma to Xuanwei Division, and it is still expected to collect other places.

If the Nanyang army is defeated, then Mang Yinglong has no worries, and he can face the Cassia army in the north wholeheartedly.

According to Mang Yinglong's understanding of the imperial court, they have always despised the southwest three Xuan and six consolations, and it is very likely that the first thing that comes to mind when Yunnan is threatened is to negotiate peace, once the peace is negotiated, it is equivalent to recognizing his independent status as the king of the white elephant, and in three years and five years, he will be able to achieve the great cause of unifying Myanmar for the second time!

The praying Chen An is not religious, it is difficult for a Ming person to be as devout to Buddhism as the Burmese, so he bows down here to pray because he sees very clearly how important the battle of Baigu in this Ming-Burma war is, and he also unexpectedly entered the Burmese decision-making level, which is the real source of pressure on him.

The five thousand troops, he sent, not reckless Yinglong to transfer troops, those soldiers are now roughly estimated that there are still three thousand left, on the activity in the north of Baigu dozens of miles, agreed to see the pagoda rise wolf smoke then march south, their mission is to join forces after the start of the battle of Baigu to go south, defeat the Ming army in the north of Baigu, and then use the elephant army, horse army mixed infantry army outside the city to attack the besieging Ming army.

At that time, the Burmese army in the city will also fight, and the internal and external forces will break through the Ming army's defense line, in order to win the whole battle!

What he prayed for was that the Ming army took the bait, mistakenly thought that the ancient city of Bai was empty, and sent troops to attack.

If he wins this battle, his position in Burma will also rise in the future; But if he loses, I'm afraid he can only choose between losing his favor and being different.

There is no way, the fortress garrison that was previously the camp of the Ming army was too strong, and it was not something they could break through at all, not to mention the deterrence of ship artillery, I am afraid that it will not be able to be attacked for a long time, so it is better to let the enemy army besiege their city - the Burmese army from top to bottom, including Chen An, the Ming staff, all think that the artillery in the fortress and the position is a ship cannon, and those heavy artillery will not be able to play without the sea.

No way, from beginning to end, the Burmese army besieged the fortress for two or three months, never able to break through the outer trench defenses, they had neither goggles nor hot air balloons, and where could they see whether the shells fired from miles away were from the sea or land?

Being bombarded by intensive artillery fire is enough of a headache, who will have that leisure.

The little prince Mang Yingli could kneel in front of the pagoda for two hours, and simply put the army camp here, Chen Anke couldn't do it, he walked and worshipped, his heart was so annoyed that it was smoking and it was difficult to leave, this kind of irritability made him want to be wrong.

He wanted to defeat Chen Mu's power in Burma alone, and he also wanted to know how to escape from Burma after the defeat and where to flee - he contacted a few trusted captains who were still staying in the ancient city of Bai, and if the war was unfavorable, if he could avoid the search that the city had begun, he might be able to hide in the Portuguese cabin and leave India.

Chen Mu's power in Nanyang was monstrous, and he could only flee to places that had not yet been touched by the Ming Dynasty.

Fleeing to Goa is not safe, in the plan, it is only Chen An's first stop, in Goa he will remain incognito, continue north into the Mughals, I heard that Akbar there is not bad to foreigners, with his talent and wisdom, he should also be able to be a staff member.

The light and shadow of the rider galloping with fire in the distance interrupted Chen An's escape plan from confessing that the light and shadow of the ancient city going straight to the pagoda, he turned around and opened the folding fan, and the surrounding soldiers should not disturb Mang Yingli to worship the Buddha, and walked down the tall steps until he reached the front of the rider, and then he whispered: "Whisper, how about it?" ”

This voice is not loud, if it is bad news, he has to think about how to stabilize Mang Yingli and flee from Myanmar with his belongings.

But immediately after, this idea was thrown away by Chen An, and the herald rider looked very anxious, but what he said was not bad news for them, he said: "Please report to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Ming army is coming, and the vanguard is three thousand soldiers and horses, coming from the Hexi Trail and the East Ancient Forest, and meeting my ambush soldiers, and the Ming army has not yet been ambushed when it is subordinate!" ”

"Uh-hahahaha!"

After a short period of depression, Chen An couldn't stop laughing in his heart, and he didn't care about what recklessness was kneeling, folding the fan and opening it with a snap, and shouting three times in a row: "Okay!" Good! Good! ”

When he turned his head, he was facing the face full of displeasure written in Mang Yingli under the stupa, and said, "What are you laughing at, military advisor?" ”

"Hmph, the student laughed at Chen Mu's unscrupulous, high-arched and young wisdom!" At this moment, Chen An couldn't wait to wear a scarf and dance a feather fan, and he didn't feel embarrassed to say the words and sentences in the book, from head to toe full of wisdom beads in his hand, grabbed the black bone mud gold fan and strode towards Mang Yingli and said: "The report from the south is that the prince has transferred the tiger from the mountain, and the three thousand Ming troops are leaving the fortress to the north, and they are ambushed by me Chen Bu in the south, and the war has just begun." ”

"The Ming army is coming?"

The anger in Mang Ying was swept away, and he couldn't help but smile slowly, leaned out his two fingers to the south, and said, "He, did he really leave the fortress?" In this way, what else can the Ming army rely on? Our army's victory over the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner! ”

"The prince is not getting carried away at this time, although there are many ambush soldiers, there are only 1,500 of them, even if the left and right soldiers rush to help, it is only worth more than 4,000, this first battle, our army needs a big victory, take advantage of the enemy's baggage and difficulty, and send another 3,000 soldiers with the elephant army to give the head drink, Fang Yi killed its sharpness!"

In the final analysis, I am still worried about the combat strength of the Ming army, and I still feel that four thousand and three thousand are not enough insurance, even if both sides of the field battle are not holding each other, it takes twice the number of soldiers to make people feel at ease.

This is also true of Mang Yingli, he immediately ordered: "Hair, send troops quickly!" ”
