Chapter 849: Blowing up the elephant array and attacking Mubang
As soon as the Virtue Hou Ming Yenaya gave the order, all the elephant slaves immediately roared in unison, and everyone's eyes were full of bloodthirsty greed, and they galloped towards the Tang army.
The Burmese army drove the elephant forward, and their purpose was to crush the Tang army in one fell swoop, so as to achieve complete success. It's just that what happened next was completely unforeseeable by him, and even completely beyond his imagination.
Because at this moment, behind those who hurriedly retreated, a long row of Tang Army auxiliaries suddenly appeared, and they had already prepared, with sizzling ropes on their bodies, and quickly lit the ten bundles of wooden handles in their hands to throw thunder fuses, small and strong leads, flashing little by little dazzling blue light.
"Cast!"
Nearly 1,000 bundles of bundles of single-handed thunderbolts were thrown almost at the same time, and except for a few in the air that were annihilated by the humid air, about 920 of them exploded smoothly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
The deafening explosion immediately sounded dozens of paces away, and the dazzling yellow light was so dazzling that it was like a devil's flower suddenly blooming in the dark green grass, blooming in the rushing elephant array.
The place of the explosion, can blow the boulder into a smashing cluster hand throwing thunder, the power is amazing, the surging and rushing waves, the elephant herd and the Burmese soldiers who followed behind, actually exploded in the air, in a circle to throw it around, the grass green ground, was immediately blown out of a shocking brown-yellow pit, for a time, elephants and Burmese soldiers, flesh and blood, broken corpses like rain.
Countless sharp fragments flying in the sky, with a sharp whistling sound, like the sharp teeth and claws of death, frantically sucking blood and harvesting life, the painful roar of the elephants, and the terrifying and terrible screams of the Burmese army, intertwined, instantly resounded throughout the plains.
Mo Changrong, the commander of the Tang Army, saw with his own eyes that several heavy and strong huge male elephants were completely overturned and shattered by the powerful explosive force of the Tang Army's hand throwing thunder. There was also an elephant that was blown up by the air waves, which was blown up in the air, and then exploded into fragmented corpses in the air in the rain of blood.
At least nearly 100 elephants and more than 2,000 Burmese soldiers were blown up on the spot, and they were severely wounded with incomplete limbs and dying.
The deputy general of the Burmese army, Medhu Minyanaya, who led the elephant array, became the most priority attack target of the Tang army because of his huge mount and luxurious decoration.
At least 50 or so cluster hand-thrown mines were thrown at him in a dense manner, and at least 30 of them, beside or under him, exploded smoothly.
More than 30 cluster hand-thrown mines, that is, a total of more than 300 hand-thrown mines thrown by individual soldiers, the power of the instantaneous dense explosion is enough to exceed anyone's imagination.
All the Tang troops, as well as the Burmese soldiers behind, were horrified to see that at the moment of the explosion, the giant elephant on which the Virtue Hou Ming Yenaya sat down turned into a rain of blood and fragments of corpses in the dazzling golden light and the explosion that broke the eardrums, and flew in all directions, like evaporation from the world.
Perhaps, such a swift and extreme death is a relief for the Medhu Minyanaya, after all, death is so short that it is almost completely free of pain.
The remaining nearly 400 giant elephants were bombarded by this fierce bombardment, and nearly 200 elephants immediately went berserk, they turned around with a howl, and fled backwards without any control, sending the deaf soldiers of the Burmese army in the main formation into flying in all directions like pieces of paper.
The madness of the elephant herd was extremely contagious, and the remaining giant elephants were also completely infected by their crazy companions, and soon all of them went berserk and rampaged like madness in the battle formation of the Burmese army.
Where the giant elephant stepped on, there was a terrible crackling sound of a human body, blood and flesh flying, screaming everywhere, countless Burmese soldiers turned around and ran back in extreme panic, but they again stirred up the Burmese army rushing behind, and the Burmese army formation was almost completely out of order.
And after this earth-shattering explosion, just when the Burmese army hurriedly dispersed into chaos, the Tang army musketeers, who were already hiding behind the big shield, began the second round of flintlock muskets and volleys.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
More than 8,000 small rice bullets weighing three coins let out a cheerful scream, and for the second time pounced on the already chaotic Gang army on the opposite side, without the cover of the elephant herd, nearly 1,000 Burmese soldiers and soldiers fell screaming.
At the same time, the second round of hand-thrown thunder salvos began, and the sound of explosions that burst eardrums rang out in all directions, and the Burmese troops, who could not escape, were killed and wounded even though they were far away and slightly prepared.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! The whole army quickly retreated to the main position! ”
Seeing that his own soldiers were slaughtered almost without the power to fight back under the fierce firearms of the Tang army, the chief general of the Burmese army, who was watching the battle in the rear of the formation, was like a knife, and almost gave orders in a gaffe.
No, the war elephants have gone berserk and are no longer usable. The army formation has been completely disrupted, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time, and the Tang army has quickly gained the upper hand from the defensive position, and if it continues to fight, although it still has the advantage of troops, it has no chance of winning, and it will only increase casualties in vain.
When the Burmese army, which was scurrying like headless flies, heard this order, they immediately turned around and fled in case of amnesty.
The thousands of Burmese cavalry who originally served as wings took the lead and turned around and fled, followed by a large number of Burmese infantry, howling and fleeing with their relatives, and finally a frenzied giant elephant scurrying around, still rampage through the battlefield, flesh and blood flew everywhere, screaming again and again.
In order to prevent more Burmese soldiers from being trampled to death by the mad giant elephant, Uchiyama Fallacy gritted his teeth fiercely and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order, order the elephant slave to take out the elephant chisel and kill the mad elephant, so as to avoid greater casualties for our army." ”
"Order!"
Uchiyama felt this order, and the elephant slaves who were still sitting on the back of the mad elephant took out the sharp elephant chisels from the elephant tower, put the chisel head on the top of the elephant's head, and then gritted their teeth and smashed the tail of the chisel with a hammer. The elephant slave then held the chisel and shook the hair violently, completely smashing the elephant's brain. The giant elephant under the crotch suddenly let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground with a bang.
As the most valuable asset of the Burmese army, the war elephant, in this way, was killed by the elephant slave he trusted the most, and died meaninglessly. Their huge bodies are like tombs suddenly built on the battlefield, which makes people sigh with emotion.
Nearly 400 giant elephants were killed, and the Burmese soldiers were no longer hindered in their rout, and looking down from the sky, the frantically withdrawn Burmese troops were like a nest of ants scattered all over the mountains, surging and retreating, without order.
It's not that easy to escape now!
The cavalry of the Tang Army, who had long held their breath, whether it was the Xuanhu heavy cavalry or the light cavalry flying harrier, chased after each other.
The iron flowed, the horses' hooves rumbled, and the Tang cavalry in pursuit was like a god of death harvesting life, and they quickly caught up with the Burmese infantry who were wailing and retreating, slashing and stabbing them one by one, skillfully and accurately killing them on the spot.
The cavalry of the Tang army slashed and killed all the way to their heart's content, and the infantry of the Tang army, which had been silent, were also brave and brave, one by one, they rushed towards the retreating Burmese army in all directions, in a semi-arc circle, whether it was shield soldiers, spearmen or rampant soldiers, all fought hard, and dealt a fierce and fatal blow to the Burmese army that had been in chaos.
In such a sweeping battle that happily picks the fruits of victory, those Tusi soldiers and horses who followed the Tang Army as auxiliaries will naturally not miss such an excellent opportunity to perform.
Armed with swords and guns, they shouted loudly, giving full play to their advantage of being good at fighting in the tropics, and swept through the left and right flanks of the Tang army, chasing and attacking the fleeing Burmese army all the way.
Many Burmese troops who were caught up by the Tang army and had no possibility of escaping were already heartbroken and no longer had any fighting spirit. In order to save their lives, they wailed and threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.
"Myawati! We, we are defeated! ”
Looking at the Burmese army retreating towards the formation like a surging black tide at the end of the sight, a Burmese soldier next to Uchiyama Yujue couldn't help but cry out.
In fact, why do you need to say that for the current battle situation, the painful and distorted inner mountain fallacy should be seen more clearly than anyone else.
Damn, it's a complete fiasco!
At this point in the war, I am afraid that the Buddha will come to the world, and I will not be able to recover the defeat.
Uchiyama opened his blood-red eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, his eyes full of confusion, and finally muttered an order.
"Passed on, passed on the general's order, Mingjin collected the troops, and the whole army retreated to the city of Mubang, and defended the city."
"Order!"
When the sound of tinkling gold sounded in all directions, he led a group of guards and turned around to run to the head coach Uchiyama who was at the forefront of the escape, and the bitterness in his heart was indescribable.
This well-prepared, superior force, and fully mobilized battle could not defeat these exhausted Tang troops who had come from afar, and even the outermost Tang army could not be touched, so they were defeated and returned defeated. After this battle, everyone in the Burmese army, from top to bottom, is afraid that they will suffer from Tang phobia from now on.
With a sour heart, he subconsciously glanced back, and could still clearly see that those hard-equipped Tang Army cavalry were like black lightning, harvesting the lives of the frightened Burmese infantry who fled in fear on the flat grass.
He even saw clearly that a close Tang cavalryman, after catching up with a Burmese infantry whose helmet had run away, ostentatiously lifted the reins, and the mount hissed and raised its front hooves high.
A cold light flashed, and the head of the Burmese infantryman, like a juggling, with a surging straight column of blood, soared from his neck. The frightened skull, with its frightened expression, made a short arc in the air, and rolled into the thick grass, never to be seen again.
The Tang cavalryman, before he had time to see the headless corpse fall, made a whistle, lifted the reins, and rode after another Burmese army rout who was wailing and fleeing.
Seeing these soldiers, the most elite soldiers and horses in Burma, now slaughtered like a broken lamb, Uchiyama felt sad and sad, and his heart was as painful as if he had weighed a thousand stones, and his eyes almost wept.
Uchiyama didn't look at it anymore, so he led a group of guards, fled all the way, and fled back to the distant city of Mubang in a hurry.
At this time, it was getting late, and the surroundings began to become dark, and those Tang cavalry who were frantically pursuing only pulled their horses and walked back when their vision was seriously hindered by the pursuit, and they did not continue the pursuit.
They brandished bloody swords and spears in their hands, laughed loudly and whistled, and expressed the joy of a great victory, and many Tang cavalrymen, with a severed head of the Burmese army on their horses or spears in their hands, were waving and swaggering as best they could. Such an approach can be regarded as the most blatant humiliation and contempt for the Burmese army.
The remaining Burmese army, which was less than 40,000 men, finally opened their eyes and was able to escape, and they fled south in a frenzy, disappearing into the endless shadows, always fleeing for their lives.
And at this time, he had come to the head of Mubang City and witnessed this tragic and miserable Inner Mountain Fallacy, his teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched, and the humiliation in his heart was simply indescribable.
What's next?
Uchiyama's heart was confused, and there was no answer at all.
At this point, this battle in the wilderness outside the city of Mubang has finally ended.
In the end, of the 100,000 Burmese troops who attacked and fought, only more than 30,000 fled back to the city of Mubang, another more than 30,000 surrendered, and nearly 30,000 Burmese soldiers died on the battlefield or fled far away. The number of dead and wounded in the Tang army was only more than 800, most of whom were Tusi soldiers and horses, and most of them were accidentally injured during the pursuit.
In this battle, the Tang army won a complete victory, and the Burmese army was completely defeated.
At this time, in the wilderness, loud military songs and slogans overlapped, and through the dim light, these Tang soldiers who successfully blocked the attack of the Burmese army and won a great victory, everyone rejoiced, and their joy was overflowing.
Mo Changrong, the coach of the Tang Army, also had a bright smile on his face, and the joy and excitement in his heart were difficult to express in words.
Originally, I thought that the Burmese army, with 100,000 people and hundreds of giant elephants to help, against the Tang army, which was only half of their number of soldiers and horses, and was very tired from afar, would be a very difficult battle, but I didn't expect that their own cluster hand throwing thunder was so powerful, and in this field battle with a huge disparity in strength, it became the key winner to turn the tide of the war, and broke the Burmese army's elephant array in one fell swoop, and finally successfully defeated 100,000 enemy troops.
This kind of battle is really hearty and exciting.
Mo Changrong took a long breath and immediately ordered: "Pass on the general's order, the whole army will resign from Laoji, immediately enter the city of Mubang, camp around the city, and firmly surround the city, so that the enemy troops in it will no longer have any chance to escape." ”
"Order!"
"In addition, immediately send people to clean up the battlefield, collect prisoners, and take back all the elephants that were killed by the Burmese army on the battlefield, and the whole army will kill the elephants tonight for dinner, reward for meritorious deeds, and celebrate the merits of all the soldiers!"
"Order! Mayor Shemo! ”
