Chapter 1091 Ambush Toungoo
In the big tent of the Chinese Army, Sun Kewang stood in front of the map, watching the Toungoo Kingdom in the west.

After seven or eight years in Vietnam, Sun Kewang gradually realized that China is not the only country in the world.

In Nanyang alone, there are more than a dozen countries, large and small. In addition, there are Xiyi who have been active in Nanyang for nearly a hundred years. They come from the west of the world and are very powerful.

Sun Kewang learned some information about the world outside the world through various channels. Although he did not believe some things, his understanding of geography outside of China can be said to be comparable to that of few people in the world except Gao Yihuan. he.

Judging from the information he got, the south of the Great Zhou Kingdom is the sea, and there are some islands.

Zhou Jun's navy is weak, that's not the direction of Zhou Jun's next development, and the east and north of the Great Zhou Kingdom can't develop, so the only way for Sun Kewang to grow his strength is to go west.

In this way, the Toungoo Kingdom is like a lock, blocking the westward expansion of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

If Zhou Jun wants to change the situation, he must smash this big lock, and then he will be greeted by the vast South Asian subcontinent.

"Your Majesty, Toungoo State has about 3000 troops, most of them are mobs. The only thing worth mentioning is the war elephants. There is also a musket battalion of [-] people who purchased the muskets and artillery of the Frang robot!" Liu Zongmin pointed at the map. , drew a circle, "I have ordered six thousand Musketeers to ambush here, and there are [-] elites. As long as they dare to come, they will be destroyed in one battle. At the same time, I also sent [-] troops to gather Yu Vientiane is planning to attack Toungoo directly from Chiang Mai in the north of Siam after the main force of Toungoo enters Siam."

The Great Zhou had a force of 20 troops. Sun Kewang quietly mobilized elite Zhou troops from Vietnam, North and South, leaving more than [-] troops to monitor the Wei army in Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. To wipe out the remaining forces on the Indochina Peninsula.

Of the 9 people, [-] went south to attack Malacca, making Dongyu think that the main force of the Zhou army was going south, and the remaining soldiers and horses were waiting around the big city, waiting for the Dongyu people to enter the trap.

Sun Kewang nodded slightly, approving Liu Zongmin's arrangement, "Is there any movement from Dongyu people?"

Liu Zongmin said: "King Ayutthaya has already sent a letter, and the envoy from Malacca should have arrived in Dongyu. It is time for King Dongyu to send troops."

Sun Kewang was still a little worried, "What if King Dongyu doesn't dare?"

Xu Yixian said: "Then we have to destroy Malacca first, and the annual tax will be increased by at least [-]% every year. Your Majesty will be able to build firearms and train the army. At that time, we will destroy Dongyu before the Wei army can react. Even if the Wei army interferes, His Majesty will still Confidence."

In the Battle of Shaoguan, the Zhou army lost not only soldiers, but more importantly, almost half of their weapons and supplies.

Now in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, there are less than [-] muskets, and the number of artillery pieces is pitiful, and Sun Kewang has no confidence to face Wei Jun.

Occupying Malacca, Zhou's finances will improve. Sun Kewang can use the money to make firearms by himself, and he can also buy firearms from the Portuguese. The strength of the army will inevitably increase.

Sun Kewang nodded slightly, and at this moment, a general came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Ayutthaya sent information, and the people of Dongyu wrote back, ready to send troops!"

Sun Kewang laughed loudly when he heard the words, "I want it in Malacca, and I want it in Dongyu Kingdom!"

If Dazhou occupied the entire southeast peninsula, Sun Kewang would have the confidence to challenge Gao Yihuan as long as he was given three to five years.

Of course, this challenge is not to defeat Wei Guo, but to let Gao Yihuan have nothing to do with him, and cannot destroy him.

As long as Gao Yihuan can't kill him, then Sun Kewang's back will straighten naturally, and he doesn't need to look at Gao Yihuan's face anymore.

In Toungoo Kingdom, after receiving a letter from King Ayutthaya and a letter from the King of Malacca asking for help, King Toungoo finally made up his mind to send his younger brother Bai Mang to lead an army of [-] troops into Siam. Cooperate inside and outside, defeat the Zhou army in Siam, cut off the way for the Zhou army's main force to return to reinforcements, and then attack Thang Long.

Originally, after the last big city battle, the Dongyu people were scared by the Zhou army. King Dongyu didn't want to send troops, but just wanted to hold Wei's thick legs and be a vassal with peace of mind.

But he couldn't stand the persuasion of his younger brother Bai Mang and others, and three years ago, Zhou Jun was defeated by Wei Jun, and the elite lost all, so King Dongyu finally agreed to Bai Mang's request and sent troops to the east.

On the road leading to the big city, the [-] Dongyu army marched mightily forward, with Dongyu General Bai Mang walking in the forefront.

Bai Mang has his own ambitions. Dongyu Kingdom is in the hands of his elder brother Pindal, and there is no improvement. He persuaded Pindal to send troops this time. Apart from feeling that the opportunity is rare, he is also preparing for rebellion.

If he can seize the opportunity, defeat the Zhou army, and then destroy King Ayutthaya along the way, then it will be an old trick in Chinese history, and he will have enough capital to kill Ping Dali to inherit the throne of Toungoo and become the king of Southeast Asia. overlord.

The [-] Toungoo army marched eastward. Except for a few elites wearing armor and holding muskets, the vast majority of Toungoo people were wearing shorts, topless, a long knife, and a shield. bow and arrow.

The army marched for a few days, and was supported by the Siamese army of the King of Ayutthaya. The Toungoo army was relentless all the way, and finally arrived at the bank of the Chao Phraya River in the west of Ayutthaya.

Three years ago, the Dongyu army was here and was defeated by the Zhou army. Countless Dongyu people were driven into the river and drowned. Now they came here again, Bai Mang frowned slightly, but he looked at the distant In the big city, it is still necessary to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

Soon, Dongyu's army built three pontoon bridges on the river, and Bai Mang, who was riding on the elephant, showed excitement in his eyes. The stupid king of the city, the stupid Sun Kewang, he immediately waved his hand and said in Burmese : "Cross the river!"

A large group of Dongyu troops crossed the Chao Phraya River excitedly, and in the dense forest on the east bank of the river, [-] elite Zhou troops had been waiting for a long time.

In addition, on the west bank of the river, more than 5000 Zhou troops were hidden on the left and right sides of the place where the Toungoo Army crossed the river.

Sun Kewang observed the Dongyu people crossing the river with binoculars, with a sneer on his face, he waved back, Liu Zongmin immediately got on his horse, and behind him three thousand cavalry also stepped on their horses.

At this time, Sun Kewang saw that most of the Dongyu people had already passed through, and said coldly: "Cannons, prepare muskets."

With an order, the gunners of the Zhou army hiding in the woods pointed their cannons at the Toungoo people, and the musketeers also raised their muskets. They broke off the hammers, and the flintlocks clicked.

At this time, the dense crowd of Toungoo people ran towards Dacheng like a tide.

When the Dongyu people approached, Sun Kewang shouted sharply: "Let go!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of cannons and gunshots suddenly rang out, guns fired in the forest, and bullets shot into the Toungoo army like a storm, and there were screams and wailings.
