In the woods, the artillery retreated sharply, raising a cloud of white smoke, and the cannonballs rushed out of the flickering cannon flames and fired rapidly at the Eastern Woo Army.

The climate in Southeast Asia was hot, and most of the Donggu soldiers had no protection, and shells and projectiles were fired into the Donggu army, and the Donggu soldiers, who were only wearing a pair of shorts, were suddenly smashed to the point that their hands and feet were broken, and their bodies were shot out of bloody holes, screaming and fighting to death.

The sudden change made Bai Mang shocked, and when he saw the chaotic team, he suddenly roared loudly, "War elephant assault!" ”

Behind it was the Chao Phraya River, and after being raided, the Dong Hu army rushed into the woods, hoping to have a chance for the Zhou army in the woods.

The war elephant raised its nose and let out a hiss, and its huge hooves, stomping on the ground, launched a earth-shaking attack.

More than 100 war elephants, shocked, powerful enough to nearly 10,000 cavalry, the Donghu infantry braved the rain of bullets, followed closely behind, and launched an earth-shaking attack.

At this time, the musketeers of the Zhou army raised their muskets, and the artillery was aimed at the war elephants, and they were ready to fire.

Sun Kewang waved his hand and shouted, "Shoot!" ”

In the charge of shaking the earth and the mountains, Bai Mang saw hope, but at this moment, countless dazzling fires suddenly burst out in the woods, and the white smoke will fill the forest in an instant, and countless rockets with tail flames, like swarms of bees out of the nest, shoot towards the Donghu army.

One rocket after another roared, and the war elephant was frightened, and suddenly its front hooves hung in the air, stopped, and then the huge hooves fell, and they ran backwards, knocking the Donghu soldiers into the air and trampling them to death.

At the same time, the muskets and artillery of the Zhou army fired another volley, and the Donghu people only felt that a hurricane was blowing, and the Donghu soldiers were blown off like dead leaves, and the frightened war elephants fled indiscriminately, causing the Donghu army to be in chaos.

"Kill me!" Liu Zongmin waved his big knife and immediately rode out.

The cavalry of the Zhou army suddenly launched, and the cavalry rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder like the tide of the embankment, and went to the east to cover the army.

In Southeast Asia, the Zhou army is the only country with formed cavalry, 3,000 Zhou cavalry, brushing the ground and leveling the long lance, dense formation, like a solid city wall, war horses rushed out of the smoke and dust, slowly advancing.

The cavalry quickly picked up its speed and crashed into the chaotic Donghu army, and the horse lance stabbed through the unarmored Donghu people directly, and strung them together like sugar gourds.

Under the surprise attack of the cavalry, the Donghu army collapsed in an instant, and tens of thousands of horses crowded across the river.

The cavalry and horse lance were full of Donghu people, so they lost their horse lances, slashed and slashed with swords, and repeatedly charged to reap the lives of the Donghu people.

Suddenly, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, there was a great chaos behind the Donghu army, and the two Zhou army infantry troops were killing the pontoon bridge one left and one right.

In a moment, the 70,000 Donghu people completely collapsed, and under the attack of the Zhou army on both sides, they were squeezed into the Chao Phraya River and washed away by the river.

"Kill!" Liu Zongmin's eyes burst into anger, and he roared and drew an arc with the big knife in his hand, slashing at Bai Mang's neck like lightning, Bai Mang was shocked, and raised his knife to block it with a roar.

"Click" Liu Zongmin's mixed strength seems to be able to break the stone to open the mountain, a knife actually cut off Bai Mang's handle alive, the knife momentum is still unabated, fast and fierce, cut through Bai Mang's shoulder, cut off a big head, blood soared, and the head flew out more than three feet away.

Sergeant Zhou suddenly let out a roar, "The weapon doesn't kill!" ”

~~~~~~

While the Taungoo were under attack on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, another Zhou army, led by the general Feng Shuangli, was passing through the Chiang Mai region in northern Siam and entering the territory of Taungoo.

Because Bai Mang took away the main force of the Donghu army, the 30,000 Zhou army attacked the territory of Donghu all the way and approached the capital of Donghu State.

At this time, there were only a few thousand defenders in the capital of Donghu, and when the mighty army arrived, the city was in chaos, and almost all the nobles of Donghu fell into fear, and closed their doors to pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

The city gate was opened, and before the siege of the Zhou army, the messenger of the Donghu people, riding horses, galloped out of the city, and went all the way north to inform the suzerain, the Great Wei, all the way to chase the Bai Mang army, let it return to the division to rescue, and then closed the city gate tightly, waiting for reinforcements.

The surrounding areas outside the city came to the city, and instead of attacking, they surrounded the city, defeated several forces of the Donghu army of King Laiqin, and sent troops and horses to sweep the surrounding area.

The generals of the Qinwang army defeated by the Zhou army, as well as the leaders of the Donghu who had conquered the nearby cities and tribes, were all taken to the city and forced them to report their positions, so that the Donghu people in the city knew that all his reinforcements had been defeated and the surrounding tribes had been conquered by the Zhou army.

For those who did not report their identities, they were directly beheaded under the city, gradually disintegrating the fighting spirit of the king of Donghu.

A few days later, Sun Kewang led the army to the city of Donghu, Liu Zongmin used a war knife, picked up the pickled white head, and walked around the city, and the morale of the defenders immediately collapsed.

The king of Donghu failed to wait for reinforcements, but waited for the news that Bai Mang was killed and the entire Donghu army was destroyed.

He calculated for a day, and it was too late to wait for the Wei army to rescue, so he immediately opened the city gate, led thousands of Donghu people out of the city, and surrendered to Sun Kewang.

In 1655, at the beginning of June, Sun Kewang entered the capital of Donghu as a conqueror, and after three days of plunder, he issued an order to calm the people and restore order.

The small overlord of the Indochina Peninsula, Donghu Kingdom, has since become history and has become a vassal of the Great Zhou State, and Sun Kewang gradually completed the unification of the Indochina Peninsula and greatly increased his strength.

~~~~~~

At the time when Sun Kewang launched a war to unify the southeastern peninsula, the struggle within the Great Wei continued.

Gao Yihuan was behind the scenes, manipulating the struggle of the court situation, and his goals were twofold, one was to eliminate the old bureaucrats in the past, and the other was to take back the military power and suppress the disobedient nobles.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the entire civil official system had rotten, and Gao Yihuan's Great Wei absorbed a large number of rotten officials, Gao Yihuan decided to drive them out of the imperial court, and the officials who were selected through the imperial examination and trained by Guozijian would replace them and exchange blood for the Great Wei court.

In the early days of the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, these people made great contributions and wanted to dismiss their officials and rush home, but Gao Yihuan was not good to come forward directly, so he took advantage of the Southern Party.

The second goal, similar to the first, is that Gao Yihuan is ready to drive a group of nobles out of the military system, and the highly talented students trained by the Imperial Army University will master the army and realize the modernization of the army.

In the same way, these people also have merit, and it is not good to drive them away directly, and they are unconscious, so Gao Yihuan can only manipulate from behind the scenes.

At this time, Gao Yihuan's first goal has been basically completed, and the second goal is also in progress.

On this day, after being silent for many days, the scholar Li Yan came to the Heavenly Pavilion, handed Gao Yihuan a note, and saluted solemnly, "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang is expected to attack the Donghu Kingdom, and there has been no substantial progress in the war in the southeast, so I think that the Beidang case should not be expanded further." ”
