Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1293, Burma was settled in World War I
Outside Dongyu City, two huge armies faced each other quietly like two huge dark clouds, waiting for an order to press down on each other fiercely.

On the top of Dongyu City, Ruinan Juexin, the king of the Ava Dynasty, looked at the Zhang family's colonial army that was getting closer and closer, and his expression became tense.

Beside him, Dongyu Hou Selongfa and his son Sihanfa were beside him, also nervously watching the upcoming decisive battle.

Ruinan Juexin concentrated most of the troops of the Ava Dynasty to Toungoo City, and Selongfa did the same. He deployed the most powerful Toungoo Army and the newly recruited [-] troops to Toungoo City. .

Taungoo City is the only way to Awa. As long as this place is defended, the colonial army of the Zhang brothers will never want to occupy central and northern Burma, and even his plan to colonize Burma will be completely ruined.

Both Ruinan Juexin and Selongfa were aware of the importance of Toungoo City, and they were all planning to fight the Zhang Brothers' colonial army here to defeat the Ming people.

The combined strength of the two sides reached an astonishing [-] troops, which combined almost all the military forces of the entire Mon and Bamar tribes. The so-called [-] million troops wanted to drown all the invading Ming people one by one. In the Irrawaddy River, let them follow the river water to the sea to feed the fish.

In their field of vision, the Zhang brothers' colonial army was only one-third of their own army, and the two sides seemed to be no longer on the same level at all.

This is also the reason why he dared to go out of the city to fight.

Our side is several times stronger than the enemy, so is it still hiding in the city to defend the city?
What's more, judging from the Zhang brothers' colonial army attacking all the way, facing the powerful artillery of the Ming people, blindly defending the city is useless at all, and the Ming people can easily attack the strongest city.

Even a strong city like Bagu can't withstand the attack of the Ming people, let alone other cities.

"The Ming people are self-reliant, and these tens of thousands of people still need to colonize our Myanmar. This time, we will break the myth that the Ming people are invincible, let them die here, and let the reputation of our Burmese people spread all over the world!"

Seeing his own 'two million troops' outside the city, Ruinan Juexin was full of confidence.

It is true that the Ming people are well-equipped and well-trained, but facing the absolute weakness in military strength, he is confident that he can completely defeat the Ming people in a single battle. He wants to break the myth that the Ming people are invincible.

"The king is wise and powerful, and he will definitely defeat the people of Ming Dynasty!"

Dongyu Hou Selongfa and others also complimented him one after another.

Selongfa's brows were always furrowed. Compared with Ruinan Juexin's self-confidence, he saw something different.

Although our side claims to have an army of 'two million', but looking at it confidently, the real elite is only the frontmost Toungoo Army and Awa Army. The combined number is only [-], which is [-] more than the enemy.

The key point is that even the most elite army has a huge difference in equipment compared with the Ming people. Almost all soldiers of the Ming people wear armor and helmets, and at least have sharp swords in their hands. At the same time, there are [-] soldiers. Musketeers and artillery, and another ten thousand cavalry.

Well-equipped and armed to the teeth, the key is the perfect coordination of the arms. Whether it is a siege or a field battle, they are worthy and can deal with it.

Even the most elite army on our side can't make everyone wear armor and helmets. Only a few generals have them. Ordinary soldiers don't have armor. They just have weapons in their hands and have been trained in normal times.

As for the largest number, those recruited temporarily, they are even more miserable. They don't even have iron weapons, and they basically have a wooden or bamboo spear in their hands.

There is no basic training, so when you look at the past at this moment, it is a black, dark, and messy place. It doesn't look like an army at all, and it looks more like a villager who gathered to gang up.

In terms of arms configuration, they only have a small number of archers, and as for cavalry, they have none at all. Myanmar does not produce horses, and the number of horses is very small, so cavalry cannot be prepared.

The only deterrent is the elephant soldiers!

Five hundred trained elephants are definitely a powerful weapon in traditional warfare. Once they charge, they have a great impact on the enemy's formation, and can often completely destroy the enemy's formation in one fell swoop. dash across.

However, the ancient arms of elephant soldiers are indeed very powerful in the face of cold weapons, but the Ming people on the opposite side have a large number of cannons and muskets.

When Siam and Ming went to war, Siam's elephant soldiers were directly crushed by Ming's artillery and muskets. Not only did they not cause any damage to the enemy, but they caused chaos in their own formation.

"Can you really win?"

Selongfa did not have the slightest confidence.

Especially as the colonial army of the Zhang Brothers came up to oppress Dongyu City, the neat lineup was neatly arranged, and just by looking at it, a powerful momentum came oncoming, forming a sharp contrast with our own army. contrast.

There is no doubt that this is a rigorously trained army.

Although the Zhang brothers are idiots and don't know anything about this aspect, over the years, the Daming Military Academy has trained a large number of officers, and a large number of soldiers have retired from the army.

The Zhang brothers are rich and can find professional people to do professional things. The army also allows these retired soldiers and instructors of the military academy to train them in a decent manner.

In addition, after the war against North Tianzhu last year, it can be regarded as having experienced the test of war. Naturally, it is a fairly capable army, and it is also the core force for the Zhang family to be able to colonize East India.

Without such a powerful army, the Zhang family would not be able to suppress the aborigines here in East India.

"A bunch of rabble!"

Zhang Yanling looked at the enemy army outside Dongyu City with a telescope, and gave a direct evaluation.

Although he is an idiot, he has been in the army all year round, and he has learned a lot from the officers and instructors hired from Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are those who are red and those who are close to ink are black.

"woooo~"

There was no such thing as a pre-war call between the two sides.

Accompanied by bursts of howls, it was like two ferocious tides pressing towards each other fiercely.

"Fire~"

With the red flag waving.

"Boom boom~ boom boom!"

The deafening sound of shelling resounded through the sky, billowing white smoke enveloped the artillery positions, and shells roared towards the densely packed enemy troops.

"Boom~Boom~"

The shell fell to the ground and exploded again.

The terrifying shock wave was accompanied by countless shrapnel and marbles that shot in all directions, forming a circular death circle, and almost all the Burmese army and their war elephants in the circle could not escape death.

The tall war elephants were directly overturned, the ordinary soldiers were blown to pieces, and countless soldiers were wailing in pain.

"Hoohoo~hoohoo~"

The cannonballs in the sky flew one after another with a terrifying whistling sound, as if they didn't want money.

"Boom~Boom~"

Terrible explosions continued to explode among the Burmese army, and circles of death appeared on the ground, like ugly scars falling on the Burmese army, which was not neat.

The Burmese army, which had no formation in the first place, completely collapsed. Countless Burmese troops were splashed all over by the blood rain. They touched the blood on their faces and looked up. There was a bloody mess around them, and countless people were constantly fighting. Howling, and the mourning of war elephants.

Many war elephants were frightened, and some were hit by shrapnel. After being injured, the war elephants couldn't be controlled at all.

"Tsk tsk, flower bombs are really easy to use~"

“It’s just too expensive~”

"Ma Dan, a flower bomb costs me several hundred taels of silver, which is faster than stealing money."

Holding the binoculars, Zhang Yanling watched the Burmese army completely collapse under the attack of his own artillery, and immediately nodded in satisfaction.

Flower bombs are really a good thing, but they are too expensive.

"This group of prodigal sons don't know how to save me~"

"Order to stop shelling~"

"The slave army is the vanguard, the musketeers are divided into two wings, and the cavalry roundabout outflanks the enemy's rear. Let me eat all these people in one fell swoop. Remember, I don't want to live!"

"Kill me completely. Only after killing them will they know how powerful our Zhang family is, and they will not dare to resist our Zhang family's rule in the future!"

Zhang Yanling pulled out the sword in his hand, swung the sword forward, and the colonial army of the Zhang family rushed towards the chaotic Burmese army like a raging tide.

"Kill~ ah!"

The slave army rushing to the front looked ferocious, looking at the enemy in front of them, full of desire to fight.

These slaves from all over the world, after several previous battles, many of them have obtained their freedom, and they have also been rewarded with land, money, women, and slaves, which makes them full of desire to fight.

Everyone wants freedom, wealth and women, and land of their own.

On the side, [-] cavalrymen have also started to activate. With the galloping horses, the ground seems to be shaking constantly, and the bright sabers are raised high, forming a bright and dazzling area.

On the two wings, the Zhang brothers rely most heavily on the musketeers formed by Zhang's children and Han people. They are lined up neatly, row after row, with the muskets in their hands on their shoulders and their waists. The saber, accompanied by a sound of command, pressed up like rows of walls.

The Burmese army, which was already on the verge of collapse, was no match for the Zhang brothers' colonial army at this moment.

Just like a collapsing dam, it completely collapsed after just a wave of impact. The elite troops in the front could still arrive for a while, and the mob temporarily recruited in the rear had completely collapsed at this moment.

Before the enemy arrived, they had already spread their legs, dropped the wooden guns in their hands and started fleeing desperately!
