Wanli 1592

Chapter 359

The artillery team withdrew, and the confrontation between the artillery of the two sides ended, and then according to the usual practice, the infantry began to confront each other. There are more than 3000 musketeers and a group of archers in Myanmar. They are prepared according to the Portuguese military training. More than 1000 mercenaries and more than 2000 native Burmese gunmen were the largest musketeers in Southeast Asia at this time. In contrast, the Siamese musketeers with about 2000 people faced each other tit for tat.

Not only that, the other armies are also ready, ready to attack at any time, even Narishon has faintly heard the sound of elephants, and any Siamese in Burma will also have their own killers ready.

It’s not that they don’t have cavalry, not to mention the quality of the horses here. It’s just that the cavalry is useless in such terrain and circumstances. The cavalry needs to be most effective in the open wilderness, and Southeast Asia is prone to heavy rain. Under the situation of pouring jungle and dense forest, Xiao Ruxun only brought more than 500 cavalry and more than 1000 horses as a symbolic meaning. Of course, Myanmar and Siam would not use cavalry under such circumstances.

In fact, if this place is really a plain, Xiao Ruxun will definitely bring a group of Jurchen cavalry and Liaodong Han cavalry to ride over. And destroying Burma is not a dream, and there is no need to walk in the mud like now. Of course, if this was the case, Burma would have been destroyed long ago. Where did he have the courage to challenge Daming?
Seeing the Burmese side, Min Qide lined up the musketeers and archers for a long-range attack, and the melee corps, sharpening their knives, followed closely behind, and Narisuan immediately dispatched his own musketeers and archers. , I plan to retreat to the second line of defense after a wave of blocking, so as not to consume too much power here, and there are still a lot of traps waiting for the Burmese to trigger and buy more time.

The musketeers of the two armies had approached a critical distance, and each could clearly see that the matchlocks on each other's muskets were emitting white smoke.

"Fire!!"

I don't know who called out the first order to attack, and the musketeers of the two armies began to shoot at each other. They also used the classic three-stage shooting. They lined up and shot at each other, shooting up and down at the same time. , Lead flying around and gunpowder smoke everywhere, and then there are archers rushing to a closer place to shoot arrows while taking advantage of the gap between reloading, Narishon's archers directly stand at a high place and shoot, the shooting range is longer, and the arrow rain is denser , together with the muskets, dealt a very serious blow to the Burmese army.

People on both sides were shot and fell every moment, and people died every moment. When the gun fired on one side, people fell down and died on the other side. The gunpowder smoke gradually filled the entire battlefield. Don't retreat, just rely on perseverance to support until the end, let's see who is the first to collapse.

This time it seems that the Siamese collapsed first, and the artillery team that retreated somewhere suddenly appeared again, bombarded the Burmese army formation, and then retreated quickly. They gave way, and the chaotic Burmese army had no time to pursue them. By the time they regrouped to pursue them, the Siamese had already run away.

Min Qide was furious, and reprimanded Luochai for failing to regroup in time to pursue the enemy, and then ordered Luochai to lead the vanguard to charge there. Guess was reprimanded, depressed and unhappy for a while, and immediately swung his army across the hill defense line to pursue the Siamese army. As a result, after a few steps, a large number of Burmese soldiers fell into the big trap dug by the Siamese in advance.

Luo Guai was lucky and didn't touch it, but the 500 or so people in the former army suffered disaster, and [-] people fell into it and died on the spot. A few were particularly unlucky, the wooden thorn came out of the mouth, directly piercing the back of the head, and the dead couldn't die any more.

The rest of the lucky ones were also pierced with arms and legs, lying in the pit and wailing endlessly. Only a few lucky ones fell between the thorns and did not die by chance. Seeing the big pits seeping people , Luochai broke out in a cold sweat and called Min Qide over, who also broke out in a cold sweat.

How is this a large-scale pursuit?Who knows how many holes there are on the road ahead?
There was an indelible psychological shadow in the minds of the Burmese soldiers, and this shadow directly caused the main force of the Burmese army not to dare to pursue quickly, and even looked at the cool wind blowing on the back of a no man's land in front of them. To be honest, it was Min Qide himself felt panicked.

what to do?Forcibly driving soldiers forward?No way!How could the main force suffer such useless losses?It was impossible for Min Qide to agree, so he rolled his eyes and selected a hundred of the lowest status from the handymen. He asked the Musketeers to point their guns at them and ordered them to stand in a row and charge forward with an unstoppable momentum. Don't stay, if you dare not run, shoot and kill immediately!
Miscellaneous soldiers are former captives or criminals who were conscripted to make up for their crimes. The purpose is to serve the main soldiers or reduce casualties for the main soldiers. Now is the time for them to die, but they are also human beings. Who wants to die?So crying and not wanting to go forward, Luochai ordered the Musketeers to shoot in a fit of rage. After a round of salvo, all 100 people died, and then another 100 people were brought in and asked if they would run away.

Seeing the tragic death of the 100 people in front of them, these 100 people started to think about it. If they don't run, they will definitely die. If they run, there may be a chance of survival, so the choice is very clear.

Lined up in a row, Sa Yazi ran forward, yelling as he ran to counteract the fear in his heart, running faster than any other moment in his life, until he ran far enough, it was already It was almost too late for Luo Cai to see, but there was still no big pit. It seemed that the big pit was only here, and there was nothing in front of it. The more than 100 people were about to run out of this hilly wilderness, but still Very good.

Luo Cai looked at Min Qide suspiciously. Min Qide was also confused at first, but after thinking about it, he blushed and waved his hand furiously.

"Follow me!! The whole army presses down!!"

He has already realized Narishon's method.

Create an atmosphere of fear, forcing him and his soldiers not to pursue immediately, fearing that there will be other ambushes. In fact, it only took them a little more than a day to arrive here. Big pit in the wilderness!This is a game!A scam!A scam to buy themselves time to regroup the army!

That bastard is now secretly laughing at himself somewhere!
