Chapter 520 Ambush
"Chase! Catch them!"

In the dense forest, a group of more than [-] Burmese warriors tracked down the traces of the Ming army during the patrol, and three knights with long knives led their infantry to quickly sweep into the forest.

Their military uniforms have their own characteristics. The infantry generals wear iron helmets and hold double knives, and their subordinates hold swords and spears in a bun; Most of the Ming Li helmets have pointed tops, and the helmets here have more of the style of Mongolian and Yuan hats, and are carved with Sanskrit.

The integration of soldiers and farmers in Myanmar is the root cause of Mang Yinglong’s ability to build an army of 20. This military form often means that the bottom-level soldiers are weak, and the higher-level soldiers are more capable, and Myanmar is no exception.

The promotion of their soldiers does not depend on military exploits, but depends on who can survive.

Infantry, cavalry, and elephant troops are the traditional armies of the Indochina Peninsula countries. In Myanmar, the strong men who join the recruitment are all infantry at the beginning. After they have fought ten battles, they can be promoted to the horse army. After fighting ten battles, he was promoted to the Xiang Army.

Compared with the previous two arms, and even compared to any army in the world, the elephant army's military salary is very generous, fifty baskets of millet a month.

Although it is unhulled millet, it weighs more than [-] Mingjin, which is enough for them to support several servants and their families to live a comfortable life.

This kind of military salary is transferred from place to place. In normal prices, it is equivalent to a monthly salary of thirteen shimi, which is higher than that of a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty, and only half a shi away from the salary of a deputy thousand household.

This patrol team didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at them through the goggles in the dense forest. Lin Manjue, who hadn't washed for a long time, sat with his back against a tree, retracted half of his body, and carefully stuffed the goggles into the bamboo mirror case at his waist. , fastened the wooden pin, and then took out a piece of flint on the leather belt.

Lin Manjue was still the same.

The vicissitudes of life are full of dust, the hat is slanted on the head, the eyebrows are frowning and the lines are vertical and horizontal, the beard mixed with food crumbs is curled by the helmet belt, and the bloodshot eyes are still sharp.

Similar to the slovenly face, the supposedly bright and reflective breastplate is covered with red mud and scratches, and there are many leaves stuck in the water-grinded locks and skirt under the breastplate.

What remains unchanged is the savage and sharp-looking hatchet stuck in the belt around his waist.

"No war elephants, go."

Lin Manjue on the tree couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or thankful, he just said something in a low voice, and then he played with the long pole on his leg seriously, regardless of the enemy soldiers who were chasing him not far away.

He put a shotgun on his lap, and he released dozens of blunderbuss in the past two months. Seeing that the second piece of flint was useless, he carefully unscrewed the tap rod, quickly replaced it with a new flint polished by a craftsman, and tried it. Then he shot two sparks, and then satisfactorily put the worn flint into his waist pocket, and loaded the gun barrel with ammunition and ammunition.

Flint is very hard. When the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau grind out the bite of the flint so that it can be neatly inserted into the faucet rod and clamped tightly, the iron file is often scratched by the flint. Even if the trigger force of the bird gun is strong, this small stone is not easy to wear .

But for gunners, especially the early skirmishers who are still in the experimental stage and cannot achieve the absolute accuracy of the best range, Lin Manjue must make the big gun in his hand have the best performance at all times. , the new flint is the most reliable, and the [-]% fire standard when receiving the bird gun out of the arms bureau recently.

This fire rate is already very high, not only related to the structure of the machine, but also related to the angle of the medicine pool cover, the shape of the flint, and the strength of the spring. In fact, if the flint alone is on fire, it is almost 100%.

But the more complex the machine, the more likely it is to go wrong, and the more difficult it is to fix it.

This is where the flintlock mechanism is inferior to the matchlock gun machine at this stage.

Lin Manjue didn't care about the more than 30 enemy troops who followed them. Those traces were left on purpose by Hei King Kong's people. Whoever took the bait would die without a burial. This has nothing to do with personal grievances. bother.

Standing under the tree is the bravest tiger warrior in South Asia, Melica. Wearing iron armor and iron hat, the black King Kong is still as brave as ever. He watched a dozen of his fellow villagers from Nanmo perform a war dance against the pursuing Burmese army from a distance.

Lin Xiao, with a dragon inlaid flag on his back and a flintlock gun in his hand, shuttled through the forest majesticly, with nearly [-] guerrillas hiding in the defensive line of two miles around. This ambush circle was not prepared for more than [-] people. If the Burmese army fell here, they would die ten times.

Lin Manjue cared more about other things. He led his troops to wander around the 80-mile forest for more than two months, and captured more than [-] prisoners. Whether they were monks, Burmese, or Mons, patrolling around Baigu The team is still a regular army, and they have all fought against each other, so they have a general understanding of the situation in the city.

With too few troops and no artillery, relying on him alone to disperse more than a thousand Pingyuan troops in the forest, the generals will not be able to accomplish major tasks, and they will get tired of small things.

The gunshots of the ambush in the forest rang out. Even Hei Jingang, who had finished dancing under the tree, would not be willing to take up a hand with a two-edged three-pointed knife in such a battle, let alone Lin Manjue on the tree. He just tilted his head and glanced at it. No more questions, just took out the letter that he had read several times from his pocket, and read it again.

The Minister of Nanyang called the next battle "Sea Three-Eyed Gun", and the battle will be sealed and stored in the library of the Navy Lecture Hall under this name, which made him ecstatic.

The so-called three-eyed blunderbuss is a three-sided attack, the central army under the command of Chen Shuai in Baigu Fortress; the left wing under the command of Baishuai guarding Yangon;

In fact, it is inappropriate to call them guerrilla troops now. After the Annan War, Lin Manjue served as a general in the army during the war, and his nephew Lin Xiao was promoted to a guerrilla general. Therefore, he now has two divisions under his command. There are more than [-] regular troops, and Lin Xiao has more than [-] rangers.

In the military position, it is necessary to take on the frontal battlefield mission.

Although Lin Manjue has never tried to fight the enemy.

The battle was over almost instantly. Since Lin Xiaobu's first centurion fired their guns, a single volley of fire guns from three sides defeated more than [-] Burmese patrols. The Burmese troops who escaped the first salvo were wiped out before they even had time to surrender.

Lin Manjue jumped down from the tree, and Hei King Kong steadily caught the killer gun, which was much longer than the bird gun, and led a group of American warriors who were also dressed as elite servants to follow suit. There is no need for an order from the general to sweep away, and each of them is ready to pack up and move.

"Continue to go north. It's nothing for us to attack the city. Let's go to the north and set up a camp to cut off their retreat."

"Bai Shuai and Chen Shuai joined forces in Baigu. As long as they break through the city, the defeated army will definitely go north, as many as they come." Lin Manjue turned to his nephew Lin Xiao and said, "We will kill as many as we can."
