Chapter 808: Overwhelming

When the Ming army entered the city through the collapsed city wall, the defenders in the city rushed out from behind the ruined and broken walls, holding knives and roaring towards the Ming army.

These people were already stunned by the deafening shells, and when they rushed out, they had no tactics or formations at all, and they were completely vulnerable to the Ming army that was neatly and orderly and armed to the teeth.

The advantage of the Ahmudan system is that they are both farmers and soldiers, and the weapons they fight with are homemade, and the food they bring with them is their own. Training is also mostly spontaneous, which can significantly reduce the country's armament burden,

But the disadvantage is also obvious - since you have to take care of farming, it is impossible to be a professional soldier, and a non-professional soldier is definitely not as effective as a professional soldier.

This can be seen from the Ming army's similar guard system, at that time, the guards and Tuntian army all over the world were known as millions, but they couldn't beat tens of thousands of soldiers in the Eight Banners, and the reason was this.

In addition, they were bombarded by artillery when they came up, and they had to find cover everywhere to hide, and the team was already out of shape, just like that, when they met the elite of the Ming army who had survived a hundred battles, it could be said that it was like a group of sheep meeting a group of wolves.

The Ming army fought very easily, and with the shield soldiers in front of them, they rushed the opponent to pieces, and then they were crushed by one side.

Blood was flying, screams were screaming, the Akhmudan soldiers who were poorly equipped and even somewhat primitive in the eyes of the Ming army fell, and the ground was soon covered with layers of corpses.

As expected, the Ahmudan cavalry from the north quickly came over, although they knew that they had been discovered by the Ming army, but the tactics had already been arranged, and if they did not come to the rescue at this time, including their relatives, they would probably all be executed.

At the same time, about 2,000 Ahmudan soldiers who had been lying in ambush on the mountain were also killed.

Zu Dashou, who was in charge of blocking the cavalry on the back, gave an order, and more than a dozen horse rejection formations that had already been lined up immediately pointed outwards with the tips of their guns pointed outward, and they were ready to block the road from the north to Daguang City. At the same time, three hundred heavy cavalry were also lying in ambush on one side, ready to maneuver at any time to support.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The neat and majestic roar of the Ming army resounded in the sky, deafening.

Boom, boom!

The Ahmudan cavalry soon joined the repulsion formation.

The cavalry that rushed to the front was equipped with thicker armor, and rushed over with the advantage of speed, and several Ming troops in front were trampled to the ground, but these Ming troops were all covered with shields, although they were knocked over, they were only injured, and there were few dead.

But as long as the cavalry rushed into the horse rejection formation, they were all stabbed into a sieve by the spears of the Ming army. Needless to say, after those cavalry rolled off their horses, they were greeted with the same fate as the war horses.

After blocking the advance of the Ahmudan cavalry, the thick repulsion formation immediately began to encircle and encircle according to the established tactics, and soon the cavalry found themselves caught in a sea of pikemen.

The charge suddenly turned into a breakout.

To be sure, most of these cavalrymen were not recruits, they had experienced the wars with Siam and the local armed forces of Dong U, and they were an important force in the unification of Dong U today.

They had seen similar rejection formations, but based on experience, they believed that as long as the heavy cavalry in front of them charged, the vast majority of rejection formations would be able to break away.

But they forgot that this army came from the powerful Ming Dynasty, from the Ming Dynasty who defeated the Eight Banners and destroyed the Dajin Kingdom in less than a year.

Although they are all rejecting horses, whether it is the personal force, training, experience or morale of the soldiers in the formation, they are not comparable to the original local miscellaneous cards in Dongwu, or the miscellaneous cards of the Daming Guards on the Yunnan border, or those soldiers in the small Siamese country.

Another crush!

Warhorses screamed, knights screamed, and countless bright spears shone like the harsh winter sun, and only flying blood could match this light.

Two thousand cavalry were thus routed.

And the 2,000 Ahmudan infantry who came down from the mountain were also swept by the 3,000 Ming army.

The battle lasted only a little more than an hour, and the Ming army successfully captured Daguang City.

In this battle, the Ming army only lost about 1,300 troops, and completely annihilated about 12,000 defenders of Daguang City, including more than 2,000 prisoners.

Immediately, the Ming army entered the city to rest.

And when Qin Shuhuai attacked Daguang, Li Dingguo also led an army of 30,000 to start from the Siam border and launched an attack on Gaojiali, a heavy city in the southeast of Dongwu.

The location of Ko Khali is very precarious, about 180 miles from the city of Dong U and Bago, close to the Siamese border. Since there is an alluvial plain between the high afterburner and Bago, there is almost an open road, and there is no danger to defend - if there is one, there is only a wide Sidan River.

Although Ta Long also expected that the Ming army might cross the border from Siam to attack Gaojiali, and deployed 20,000 heavy troops there, these 20,000 troops could not stop Li Dingguo's 30,000 troops at all.

Historically, after the defeat and retreat into Burma from Yungui and other places, the Great Western Army led by Li Dingguo himself was still rampant in Burma, and he insisted on occupying a large base area for himself.

At that time, the equipment of his Great Western Army was not as good as it is now, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was definitely not as good as the current elite with the Demon Sect and the Martial Arts Alliance as the main force.

On the second day after Qin Shuhuai captured Daguang, Li Dingguo also captured Gaojiali at the cost of more than 2,300 casualties.

The Ming army can be described as overwhelming.

In the royal palace of Bago, after receiving two reports of defeat, King Talong finally panicked.

He couldn't have imagined that the Ming army, which was beaten by them at the beginning, would now be so strong.

He didn't expect that the group of elites who swept through the cave in his hand would be so vulnerable.

Even, to this day, he is still asking, where did the Ming army get so many new cannons, and from which Western country did they buy them?

It can't be said that he is short-sighted, he even knows better than Chongzhen how many powerful countries there are in the world today, and how many new and powerful weapons there are.

But it can only be said that Daming has changed too quickly.

In just five or six years, the potential for wealth, war, and manufacturing accumulated by this country has been completely tapped by an unborn genius.

In this era of lack of information, how many overseas people who are far away from the Ming Dynasty can understand the great changes that are taking place in this country every day?

Ta Long did feel uneasy, but his unyielding character determined that he would never surrender easily.

As a generation of heroes, he will never allow himself to bow down to another country.

What's more, the other party has already hit the door, this is no longer a question of whether he is a minister or not, but a real blood feud, how can he not report it?

And just as he was discussing countermeasures with his ministers, another piece of bad news came.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Awa's side that a large number of Shan and Mon people began to riot three days ago, and the number of people in the riot may now exceed 20,000. ”
