The rumbling hooves of horses sounded on both wings, and through the billowing smoke, a group of Burmese cavalry wearing iron armor and riding war horses kicked up dust and slaughtered the Ming position.

Most of the Burmese cavalry rode horses as short as donkeys, with only a few generals and high-ranking warriors riding tall horses. Burma is a hot and humid place, which is not suitable for horses, and most of the Burmese army uses Dian horses, and a few generals and nobles use imported Indian horses, which are actually branches of Alabama. Because that kind of horse is particularly delicate, there are not many of them, and only the very wealthy can afford to keep tall Indian horses.

Although it is a short Dian horse, it is much larger than a person, and it is a terrible thing to be bumped into. Thousands of war horses galloped in, and their momentum was still very scary.

Looking at the herd of horses crushed up like an impermeable wall, the Ming soldiers inevitably rushed to a trace of fear. At this time, the formation of the Ming army had become a hollow formation, with pikemen outside, musketeers inside, pikemen blocking the Burmese army outside, musketeers shooting freely, exporting firepower, and knocking down the Burmese army's hand-to-hand combatants one by one. Artillery and musketeers attacking the Burmese army from a distance to minimize damage to their own pikemen by the Burmese musketeers. At this time, the archers of the Ming army did not exert their might, they rested temporarily according to Wang Xinyu's order, and only waited for the Burmese war elephants to come up, and then fired rockets to drive away the war elephants.

The dense spears were withdrawn and stabbed out, and the Burmese hand-to-hand combatants who crashed into the spear formation were wiped out in front of the formation like moths to a flame. The musketeers in the rear of the Ming army fired freely, and some of the most ferocious Burmese soldiers spewed blood mist and fell weakly in front of the battle. The Burmese musketeers in the back fired sporadically, the guns roared, and from time to time the Ming pikemen were shot and fell. But when one of the Ming soldiers fell, the pikemen behind came up to fill the vacancy.

The artillery spewed fire, and the guns were raised with a dull roar, sending the musketeers in the rear of the Burmese army bloody and fleshy.

After all, the quality of the Burmese army is much worse than that of the Qing army, and the infantry has begun to show signs of imminent collapse. Some Burmese soldiers were terrified. Throw away your weapon and turn around and run. Some people fled, triggering a chain reaction, and the morale of a large number of Burmese troops fell to the extreme, and they all turned around and fled. At this moment, the Burmese cavalry rushed up.

Looking at the defeated Burmese infantry, the Burmese cavalry rushed over without hesitation, knocking some of the defeated soldiers into the air and overturning, stepping under the hooves of the horses, and countless Burmese troops were trampled into pulp by their own cavalry. The Burmese infantry was rammed by their own cavalry for a while, and had to turn around again to deal with the Ming army.

The Burmese cavalry rushed out of their own foot soldiers. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the Ming army.

"Reject the pistol!" General Zhang Wei yelled.

The spearmen always shouted clearly: "Reject the horse and the gun, stand!" ”

The pikemen in the front row grasped the barrel of the gun, the head of the gun was obliquely upwards at an angle of 35 degrees, and the tail of the gun was inserted into the ground, forming a forest of spears.

After all, the Burmese army did not have the quality of the cavalry of the Qing army, and the war horses were frightened and slowed down when they saw the rows of shining silver spear tips. The Burmese cavalry was also so frightened that they reined in their horses, except for a few Burmese cavalry who couldn't stop and crashed into the spear formation. The horses were hung on the pikes, the men flew up from the horses, and they were stabbed into a sieve, and the rest of the Burmese army stopped before crashing into the pikes.

"Put!" Wu Pig's Egg roared.

The captains of the musketeers shouted: "Fire!" ”

The musketeers behind the Ming pikemen raised their guns and pulled the trigger. With the dull roar of muskets, the muskets fired volleys in rows, and the Burmese cavalry twenty or thirty paces away fell off their horses.

The Burmese cavalry did not dare to step forward, and the riders drove the horses. Withdrawing from a distance, circling around the Ming army's formation outside the range of the Ming army's muskets, he just didn't dare to approach. The Burmese infantry was also watching from afar. They didn't dare to come forward at all, they just waited for the war elephant to come up, and then crushed it with the war elephant.

Hundreds of huge war elephants stepped on the ground, making a deafening roar, and slowly pressed up towards the Ming army's formation step by step, just like a black-gray city wall moving up, making people feel strong pressure.

"Rocket ready!" Wang Xinyu shouted.

The pro-soldier sent an order: "Archer, prepare the rocket!" ”

The archers stood in front of the piles of bonfires, wrapping their arrows in cotton cloths soaked in fire oil, waiting for the order to fire.

"Ready!" Everyone yelled.

The archers hung rockets on the bowstrings, and the arrows stretched out into the campfire, igniting the rockets, and then slowly pulled the bowstrings, and the flaming rocket arrows were aimed at the Burmese war elephants that were crushing them. At this time, every Ming soldier was extremely nervous, they didn't know if the rockets could disperse the war elephants of the Burmese army, if not, they would be crushed into the crowd by these behemoths, I am afraid that only a few elephants could be killed with artillery, and the others would have to fight hard with pikemen.

"Put!" Each of them roared.

Rows of rockets flew like locusts in the sky, heading towards the Burmese war elephants fifty paces away.

The war elephants were really afraid of fire, and rows of rockets drew an arc in the air, flew over the heads of the Ming army, and under the action of gravity, they landed in front of the Burmese army war elephants. Rockets fell to the ground, arrows were inserted into the dirt, cotton cloths permeated with fire oil burned brightly, igniting the shafts of arrows and the grass on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a row of Ming army shortsword soldiers rushed out with fire oil cans in their hands, and threw the fire oil canisters with all their might, smashing them near the landing site of the rocket. Only a sound of "ping pong" was heard, and the oil tanks burst one after another, and the oil flowing out met the flames of the rockets, igniting a raging fire, forming a wall of fire.

Some rockets hit war elephants, and although they could not do damage to the thick-skinned elephants, the arrows pierced into the elephants' skins, and the burning flames scorched the elephants, causing pain and fear to these behemoths.

"Oooo The elephant suddenly turned around and sprang at incredible speed, escaping the sea of fire that terrified it.

The elephant herd collapsed like an avalanche, and one after another the huge elephants turned around and charged at the Burmese infantry behind them. Seeing the defeat of the war elephants, the Burmese infantry turned around in fright and ran.

"Steady progress!" Wang Xinyu gave an order.

The pikemen of the Ming army marched forward step by step with neat steps; The archers in the back kept shooting rockets, and the short knives threw them with fire oil cans in their hands, expanding the range of the sea of fire. At this time, it was a southeast wind again, and the fire burned northward under the action of the wind.

The speed of the elephants when they go crazy is so amazing, these huge beasts are not slow at all, they are much faster than humans. Soon the elephants rushed into the crowd of the Burmese army, but all the Burmese troops who stopped the elephants were mercilessly knocked to the ground by the elephants, and the thick elephant legs trampled over the people's bodies.

Hundreds of galloping elephants, like hundreds of heavy chariots, trampled through the crowd of the Burmese army. Burmese foot soldiers were knocked over, trampled into meatloaf, trampled into dirt and turned into fertilizer. Some Burmese soldiers were skewered into human flesh candy gourds by ivory, and some Burmese soldiers may have been angry because they were in the way and the elephants rushed to get angry, and they were rolled up by the elephant's trunk and thrown out.

The Burmese formation was completely disorganized, with the infantry trampling on each other, the cavalry fleeing for their lives, and the elephants trampling through the crowd.

"It's a pity, we don't have cavalry! If we have cavalry, we can chase them out at this time, and we are guaranteed to be able to kill them with a good heart! Wang Xinyu, who was standing on the watchtower, looked at the defeated Burmese army and said regretfully.

Before the words fell, he saw hundreds of cavalry suddenly rushing out of the jungle in the east and attacking the back of the Burmese army.

"Cavalry! Look at the military gate! There are cavalry chasing the thieves! It seems to be our Ming cavalry! Li Rui pointed to the cavalry that suddenly appeared and shouted excitedly.

Wang Xinyu picked up the monocular and looked at the cavalry, only to see that in the ranks of the cavalry, a big flag with the word "white" fluttered in the wind, hundreds of cavalry brandished sabers, war horses galloped, and smashed into the crowd of the defeated Burmese army.

The herd of horses slammed into the Burmese infantry, the horses' hooves trampled over the people's bodies, and the flat sabers swung against the back of the Burmese soldiers' necks, and their heads flew far away and fell into the mud.

"White? Whose soldiers and horses will it be? "Wang Xinyu's historical knowledge is not very good, he only knows Li Dingguo, he doesn't know Bai Wenxuan, and he can't remember whose cavalry it is for a long time, in short, it is the cavalry of the Ming army, it must be Li Dingguo's general. Although he knew that there was a King of Gongchang, he did not know that King Gongchang's name was Bai Wenxuan.

"Kill!" Bai Wenxuan took the lead, and the saber in his hand slashed through the back of the necks of the Burmese soldiers, and he didn't know how many heads fell to the ground. The galloping horses knocked away countless Burmese soldiers, and the horses' hooves trampled the fallen Burmese soldiers into pulp.

Nearly 500 cavalry chased after the Burmese army at full speed, slashing and slashing all the way, killing the Burmese army's corpses all over the field and bleeding like a river.

The cavalry of the Ming army pursued for a while, the horsepower was consumed, and the speed of the war horse gradually slowed down. Bai Wenxuan put the saber back into the scabbard, took off the riding spear from the horse, drove the war horse, and followed the fleeing Burmese soldiers unhurriedly, one by one, leaving bloody holes in the backs of the Burmese soldiers.

Nearly 500 cavalry drove the Burmese army, preventing them from escaping outside, driving them to the center of the Burmese army, and using the Burmese army itself to trample on themselves, causing even greater chaos.

Countless Burmese soldiers were trampled to death in the trampling of each other, and as soon as anyone was crushed down in the midst of the chaos, countless pairs of feet trampled over them like rain, trampling them into the dirt. The Burmese soldiers who fell tripped over more people, triggering even greater trampling.

The chaotic Burmese army desperately fled to Tucheng, and when a large number of people entered the city gate, a group of people crowded at the city gate, blocking the way and making it impossible for the Burmese army outside to enter.

Bai Wenxuan's cavalry pursued and drove the Burmese army under the city walls. At the same time, Wang Xinyu's infantry also followed, and the muskets roared in rows, causing blood to splash in the Burmese crowd. Spears stabbed out, and the Burmese army fell. The Ming army slashed and assassinated as much as they could, until the corpses at the foot of the city wall were piled higher and higher, piling up into a hill. (To be continued.) )
