Chapter 1092 Unification of Indochina Peninsula
In the woods, the artillery retreated sharply, a cloud of white smoke rose, and the shells rushed out of the flickering flames, and shot at the Toungoo army rapidly.

The climate in Southeast Asia is hot, and most of the Toungoo soldiers have no protection. Shells and projectiles were shot into the Toungoo soldiers. The Toungoo soldiers who only wore a pair of shorts were smashed to pieces, and blood holes were shot on their bodies, screaming Catch to death.

The sudden change shocked Bai Mang. Seeing the chaotic team, he immediately roared, "War elephants attack!"

With the Chao Phraya River behind them, the Taungoo Army rushed to the woods after being attacked, hoping to take advantage of the Zhou Army in the woods.

The war elephant raised its nose and let out a neigh, and stepped on the ground with its huge hooves, launching an earth-shaking attack.

When more than 100 war elephants charged, they were powerful enough to be equivalent to nearly [-] cavalry. The Toungoo infantry braved the rain of bullets and followed closely behind, launching an earth-shattering attack.

At this time, the musketeers of the Zhou army raised their muskets, aimed at the war elephants, and swarmed to ignite the fire.

Sun Kewang waved his hands and ordered, "Shoot!"

In the ground-shaking charge, Bai Mang saw hope, but at this moment, countless dazzling flames erupted in the woods, and white smoke filled the forest in an instant. Countless rockets with tail flames were like bees coming out of their nests. Like a group, they shot at the Taungoo Army.

The rockets roared wildly one by one, the war elephant was frightened, suddenly its front hooves hung in the air, stopped, then the giant hooves fell, and then ran back, knocking Dongyu soldiers into the air and trampling them to death.

At the same time, the Zhou army's guns and artillery fired again, and the Dongyu people only felt a gust of wind blowing by, and the Dongyu soldiers were blown away like dead leaves, and the frightened war elephants fled in disorder, causing the Dongyu army to be in chaos.

"Follow me!" Liu Zongmin waved his sword and galloped out immediately.

The cavalry of the Zhou army suddenly mobilized, and like a sea tide breaking a dike, the cavalry rushed out of the diffuse gunpowder smoke, and went to hide and kill the Dongxu army.

In Southeast Asia, the Zhou army is the only country that has an established cavalry. Three thousand Zhou army cavalry leveled the long spears. The dense formation is like a solid city wall. The horses rush out of the smoke and move forward slowly.

The cavalry quickly picked up speed and crashed into the chaotic Toungoo army. The horse spear stabbed directly through the unarmored Toungoo people and strung them together like candied haws.

Under the surprise attack of the cavalry, the Toungoo army collapsed instantly, and tens of thousands of horses crowded across the river.

The horses of the cavalry were full of Toungoo people, so they lost the horses, swung their knives and slashed, charging repeatedly to harvest the lives of the Toungoo people.

Suddenly, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, there was a commotion behind the Toungoo Army. Two infantry troops of the Zhou Army rushed towards the pontoon bridge, one from the left and the other from the right. The beating caused Toungoo to fall to the ground in pieces.

In a short while, the [-] Toungoo people completely collapsed. Under the attack from both sides of the Zhou army, they were squeezed into the Chao Phraya River and washed away by the river.

"Kill!" Liu Zongmin burst into anger, and roared, drew an arc with the big knife in his hand, and slashed at Bai Mang's neck like lightning.

"Kacha" Liu Zongmin's mixed strength seemed to be able to crush rocks and open mountains, and he cut off Bai Mang's hilt with one knife. The blood shot out, and the head flew three feet away.

Zhou Jun's soldiers immediately roared, "Abandon your weapons and don't kill!"

~~~~~~
When the Toungoo people were attacked on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, another Zhou army, led by general Feng Shuangli, was passing through the Chiang Mai area in northern Siam and entered the territory of the Toungoo Kingdom.

Because Bai Mang took away the main force of the Dongyu Army, the [-] Zhou army invaded the territory of Dongyu with such force that they approached the capital of the Dongyu Kingdom.

At this time, there were only a few thousand defenders in the city of Toungoo. When the mighty army arrived, the city was in chaos. Almost all the nobles of Toungoo fell into fear. Every family closed their doors and prayed for the blessing of Buddha.

The gate of the city was opened, and before the Zhou army besieged the city, the messengers of the Toungoo people galloped out of the city on horseback. door, waiting for reinforcements.

The surroundings outside the city came to the city, but did not attack, but surrounded the city, defeated several Toungoo troops of King Laiqin, and sent troops to sweep the surrounding areas.

The generals of King Qin's army defeated by the Zhou army, as well as the leader of Dongyu who attacked the nearby cities and tribes, were all taken to the city, forcing them to report their positions and let the Dongyu people in the city know that his reinforcements were all defeated, and the surrounding The tribe was also conquered by the Zhou army.

For those who did not report their identities, they were directly beheaded at the gate of the city, which gradually disintegrated King Dongyu's fighting spirit.

A few days later, Sun Kewang led the army to Dongyu City. Liu Zongmin carried the pickled Baimang's head with a saber and walked around the city in a swaggering manner. The morale of the defenders collapsed immediately.

King Dongyu failed to wait for reinforcements, but he waited for the news that Bai Mang was killed and the entire Dongyu army was wiped out.

He planned for a day, and it was too late to wait for the rescue of the Wei army, so he opened the city gate, led thousands of Dongyu people out of the city, and surrendered to Sun Kewang.

In [-], at the beginning of June, Sun Kewang entered the capital of Toungoo as a conqueror. After three days of looting, he issued an order to reassure the people and restore order.

The little overlord of the Indochina Peninsula, Toungoo Kingdom, has since become history and has become a vassal of the Great Zhou Kingdom, while Sun Kewang gradually completed the unification of the Indochina Peninsula and greatly increased his strength.

~~~~~~
When Sun Kewang launched the war to unify the southeastern peninsula, the internal struggle of Wei was still going on.

Gao Yihuan is behind the scenes, manipulating the struggle of the court. He has two goals, one is to eliminate the old bureaucrats in the past, and the other is to regain military power and suppress disobedient nobles.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the entire civil service system had been rotten. Gao Yihuan’s Great Wei absorbed a large number of rotten officials. Gao Yihuan decided to drive them out of the court and replace them with officials who had passed the imperial examinations and were trained by the Guozijian. exchange blood.

This group of people made great contributions in the early days of the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty. They wanted to be dismissed from office and rushed home. Gao Yihuan couldn't come forward directly, so he used the Southern Party.

The second goal is similar to the first goal. Gao Yihuan plans to drive a group of nobles out of the military system, and the talented students trained by the Imperial Army University will come to master the military and realize the modernization of the military.

The same group of people also had credit for it, and it would be shameful to drive them away directly, and they didn't realize it, so Gao Yihuan could only manipulate them from behind the scenes.

At this time, Gao Yihuan's first goal has been basically completed, and the second goal is also in progress.

On this day, after being silent for many days, Li Yan, a university scholar, came to Tiange, handed Gao Yihuan a memorial, and solemnly saluted, "Your Majesty, Sun Kewang attacked Dongyu Kingdom. It should not be expanded any further.”
