Bian Yaqi stood on the watchtower, and suddenly he found that the Ming army had a weakness: the Ming army's dock by the river was more than two miles away from the big array, and there was a section of the road that was not protected by the Ming army.

The rest of the Burmese army generals also found out. One of the generals advised: "If the thieves' next batch of grain is brought ashore, we first feint the front of the thieves with infantry to attract the thieves' attention, and then we use cavalry to attack the thieves' grain routes, we will surely destroy their grain and burn their ships!" ”

"That's a brilliant plan!" The Bianya Bream was overjoyed.

A Burmese army general stood up: "The last general is willing to lead 500 cavalry to attack the thieves' grain trucks and grain ships!" ”

Bian Ya nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" I'll give you five hundred cavalry! When our infantry attacks from the front, your cavalry will immediately attack and take the thief's food route! Burn the thieves' grain wagons with three hundred men, and burn the ships with two hundred! ”

"Yes!" The general retreated.

When another batch of grain ships of the Ming army arrived, and the Ming army was carrying bags of grain from the boat to the car, he ordered the Burmese infantry to attack and launch a feint attack on the front of the Ming army.

Burmese artillery opened fire and violently bombarded the positions of the Ming army. On the Burmese army's position, white smoke billowed out, and a cannon spit out fireballs, and shells fell on the Ming army's position like hail, smashing the dirt and gravel, and knocking over a lot of sandbags.

The artillery of the Ming army also fired back, the shells smashed on the Burmese army's Tucheng, smashed out a pit, even the wooden gate of the Tucheng was bombarded by the Ming army's artillery fire, the door was smashed to pieces, and a wooden arrow tower at the city gate was hit by a cannonball and turned into fragments.

After the shelling, the Burmese infantry poured out of the city, shouting and attacking the Ming positions.

The Ming army fired fiercely with small cannons and guns, and the Burmese troops who rushed over fell one by one. When the Burmese army approached, the Ming archers, flintlock pistols and bird gunners fired a volley, and the arrow projectiles shot out like a torrential rain. The Burmese army was beaten to the ground. The musketeers of the Burmese army also fired at the Ming army, but the Ming army hid in the trenches and was protected by the trenches, and the Burmese musketeers did not cause any losses to the Ming army, but were killed and wounded by the Ming army's artillery and guns.

Bian Ya didn't care about this loss, because his real intention was to burn down the grain wagons and grain ships of the Ming army.

"Attack!" Seeing that the front was already fighting, a Burmese army general drew his sword and pointed in the direction of the Ming army's grain road.

Five hundred Burmese cavalry rushed out from the flank and rushed straight to the Ming army's baggage convoy transporting grain.

On the road built by the Nanyang Ming Army, the auxiliary soldiers were escorting food to the camp, but they found that the Burmese cavalry was attacking quickly. These Ming army auxiliaries screamed in fright, threw down the grain carts, and fled for their lives.

The Burmese general personally led 300 cavalry to the grain cart abandoned by the Ming army; The other 200 cavalry went straight to the river to burn the transport ships of the Ming army.

A Burmese sergeant rode his horse to a grain truck, turned over and dismounted, and slashed open a grain bag, only to see that it was full of straw. The Burmese soldier waved and split another grain bag, and found that there was still straw inside! The same was true for the rest of the Burmese soldiers. Swing a knife to split open the grain bag, and find that it is full of straw!

"General! We were fooled! It's not food on it! The Burmese army was shocked.

Another Tatmadaw heard what appeared to be a voice in the nearby bushes and turned his head to spot the light of fire and green smoke rising from the bushes. The Burmese soldier shouted, "There's an ambush over there!" ”

It's a pity that it was too late, and before the Burmese soldiers could speak, a large number of Ming troops suddenly emerged from the grass on both sides. Many Ming soldiers had a tinder jar hanging on their chests, waiting for the Burmese army to enter the ambush circle. The Ming soldiers opened the tinder jar and lit the torches. Before the Burmese army could react, rows of rockets were fired at the "grain trucks".

The explosion of the mine laid by the "boom boom" occurred. Trucks full of straw burst into flames, and several Burmese soldiers standing in front of the "grain trucks" were immediately blown up by landmines. A raging fire ablaze on the avenue, and the warhorses, which had been set aside by the Burmese, were frightened and scurried in all directions, knocking over their masters. The Burmese cavalry who were not dead did not have time to mount their horses, and countless Ming troops suddenly drilled out of the surrounding grass, and rows of birds, bows and arrows shot them, killing these Burmese soldiers on the road.

"Kill!" The Burmese general didn't have time to get on his horse, and when he saw that he had been ambushed, he simply went out, drew his sword and rushed towards the Ming army.

More than 100 Burmese soldiers shouted and followed their generals to kill the Ming army.

The Burmese counterattack was as ridiculous as a moth to a fire, and the Burmese general, who was in the first place, had a dozen arrows in his body, and when he rushed to the Ming army, he was stabbed into a bloody sieve by a row of spears. The Burmese soldiers in the back desperately rushed into the Ming army's formation, and were stabbed and slashed by the Ming army's spears, halberds, and long knives, all of which turned into corpses with blood bubbles all over their bodies.

Dozens of Burmese soldiers who reacted quickly mounted their horses and fled along the same route. Who knew that a stumbling rope suddenly popped up in the grass, leaving all these Burmese cavalry here.

The Burmese cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and hooked the Burmese cavalry with hooks and sickles stretched out in the grass, and then a group of Ming infantry rushed up and captured the Burmese soldiers.

Besides, the 200 Burmese cavalry who went to burn the ship, they had just rushed to the dock, and the canvases of those "grain ships" were lifted one after another, and countless flintlock musketeers emerged from the cabin, accompanied by the deafening sound of gunfire, and the Burmese troops who had already rushed to the front were like being targeted, and all of them were beaten into a hornet's nest.

On the front, the Burmese army that feinted to attack suffered heavy losses, suffering more than 1,000 casualties, and retreated to Tucheng in disgrace.

The Burmese army not only lost 500 cavalry in vain, but also buried more than 1,000 infantry who were used as bait in vain. Those baits were unceremoniously eaten by the Ming army, and by the way, even the "fishermen" who were preparing to collect the nets were eliminated.

"The thief is cheating, and he is angry with me!" Bian Ya was so angry that he scolded the treacherous and cunning Ming army.

It turned out that Wang Xinyu had always had an ambush on the side of the grain road, and there were also mines planted on the grain road, just to prevent the Burmese army from sneaking up on the grain road. This time, when he saw that the Burmese army was attacking from the front again, he estimated that the Burmese army might attack his grain route, so he asked the grain ship to load the carts with straw and gunpowder to attract the Burmese army. In addition, there are actually sailors' musketeers on the grain ship, which are used to protect the safety of the grain ship.

Bian Yayu stood on the watchtower, helplessly watching the Ming army's trench advance little by little.

"General! We are outnumbered, and there are war elephants and cavalry, and the thieves only have foot soldiers, so why should we defend them? Don't take the initiative to attack? There are no trenches on the side of the thieves, and we can attack from the flanks with cavalry and war elephants! "The Burmese generals were unhappy with their commander being so timid and demanded to take the initiative.

Speaking of Bianyaqi was scared by the Ming army before, when Li Dingguo and Bai Wen were selected to enter Burma, Bianyaqi had sophisticated firearms, hundreds of war elephants and more than 1,000 cavalry, 50,000 troops with sharp knives and guns and excellent armor, and were defeated by 20,000 Ming troops who had few big swords and spears in their hands, and most of them only had a wooden stick in their hands, and even their younger brother Bian Yaguo was killed by the Ming army. In the end, Bian Yayu collected the defeated army, and was attacked by Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan at night, suffered heavy losses, and fled all the way back to Yawa City.

Although the current Burmese army is more numerous, and the Ming army is even smaller, the Ming army in front of them is well-equipped, and Bian Yayu really feels scared.

"General, if we don't attack, the thieves will dig the trench under our city, and they will bombard us!" A Burmese military general pleaded loudly.

Another Burmese army general also shouted a plea: "Yes! General, we have war elephants and cavalry, so why fear thieves! ”

Bian Yalu looked at the flank of the Ming army and found that there were no trenches on the side of the Ming army, and the Burmese army could completely use cavalry to attack from the flank. So he ordered the Burmese army to attack, first attack with infantry, and then look for an opportunity to quickly charge the Ming army's flank with cavalry, break the Ming army's firearms, and at the same time crush it with war elephants, in order to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.

"My lord, the Burmese army is attacking and moving towards our right flank!" A scout reported to Wang Xinyu.

Wang Xinyu's flanks did not dig trenches, which was not a mistake, but a deliberate attempt to expose flaws in order to attract the Burmese army to attack. As long as the Burmese army dares to rush into battle, Wang Xinyu is sure that the Burmese army will return! The Burmese army was indeed deceived, and they saw that the Ming army's trenches were advancing day by day, and they would eventually reach the bottom of Tucheng, so they sent cavalry and war elephants to move to the flank of the Ming army.

Wang Xinyu did not have cavalry at hand, which was one of his shortcomings. Even after conquering Qiongzhou, Wang Xinyu still only had more than a hundred war horses on hand, and it was not enough to allocate them to his own soldiers and officers, so how could he form a cavalry. Without cavalry, it is very difficult to annihilate the opponent's cavalry with infantry, and the opponent can only be lured out and destroyed. Because the cavalry could not beat and could run, but the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry; Once the infantry is defeated, the consequences of being pursued by the cavalry are serious.

However, this time the Burmese army is going to attack on a large scale, and Wang Xinyu still can't underestimate the enemy.

In the camp of the Ming army, the war drums rumbled and the flags danced, and a large number of Ming troops moved to the right flank.

This time, the Burmese army launched an attack in earnest, and a large number of Burmese artillery pulled small cannons and moved to the flank of the Ming army. In the large array of the Burmese army, gongs and drums were noisy, and trumpets sounded, and the Burmese army launched an attack.

Several Burmese three-pounder and four-pounder guns launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the Ming positions, and the shells broke through the improvised deer barrages and smashed over some barracks and wooden fences. Some unfortunate Ming soldiers were hit by shells, and their bones were shattered and they fell in pools of blood.

The Ming army also counterattacked with artillery, violently bombarding the artillery positions of the Burmese army. Because the gunpowder used by the Ming army was better than that of the Burmese army, the range of artillery of the same caliber was somewhat higher than that of the Burmese army. At this time, the artillery of the Burmese army was completely within the range of the Ming army. As a result, a volley of shells smashed over, instantly knocking over five or six artillery pieces of the Burmese army, and even killing many gunners.

The Burmese infantry had already begun to charge, with cavalry waiting on both flanks and war elephants behind the infantry. Just wait for the Burmese infantry to rush to the Ming army's position and start hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army, the Burmese cavalry will rush up and disrupt the Ming army's firearms, and then use war elephants to crush it and level the Ming army's position.
