Chapter 783 Water War

Mu Tianbo was very calm and immediately ordered the Ming army infantry to line up in three in front of the formation.

When the Burmese military portal soldiers rushed to the range, with the order to open fire, the Ming army immediately recalled the fierce gunfire.

The first row of musketeers began shooting, sending out a row of fire.

"Bang bang bang..."

The Burmese military troops fell down, and those who did not fall began to run around, but did not retreat.

They are just cannon fodder, and there are regular Burmese troops who supervise the battle behind them. They will die if they retreat. It is better to rush forward with your head down.

The first row of musketeers who had been shot by the Ming army retreated, and the second row began to shoot!

"Bang bang bang..."

The first row of musketeers who had been shot by the Ming army retreated, and the second row began to shoot!

After the second row of shooting was completed, the Ming army in the third row continued to fill in the position and fired!

The gunshots of bean-like bursting sounded one after another, and this time the target was to aim at the unfront-lined war elephants rushing over.

Although the Burmese army had flintlock rifles, they were limited to the main force, so don’t think about the portal soldiers. They were basically cannon fodder that ran naked and charged, but they had war elephants!

The panicked portal soldiers had no intention of protecting the limbs of the elephant. The elephant shot by the musket began to go crazy and rushed around, causing these natives to scatter and scream all over the sky.

They called them, the Ming army fought against the Ming army, and after one round of volleys, there was another round.

The Ming army soldiers were tossed in the rain forest for so long, but they didn't see a ghost. At this time, they saw so many enemy troops, their eyes shining and fighting very hard!

They are not fighting randomly, they are very purposeful.

The second round of shooting was mainly to suppress the Burmese army that had not been concentrated before, and they were taken care of very carefully.

In just two rounds, the chieftain soldiers who had never seen the world had basically collapsed after being shot and looked for cover everywhere, and could not form group combat power.

Even the toasts who were in high spirits were ready to pick up the spoils, screaming and moving backwards with the elephants.

"Damn it's so hard..."

Mu Tianbo shook his head and immediately sent an order:

"On the magic gun!"

Twenty Ming divine guns immediately began to shoot at the Burmese soldiers.

"KaKaKa..."

The Ming Dynasty magic gun shot hundreds of Burmese troops in one round, and the rifled rifles were also constantly killed.

With the screams of Myanmar portal soldiers, more and more people fell down, and the Burmese army immediately began to defeat.

"Cabinet, kill!"

With Mu Tianbo's order, the cavalry on both wings rushed out, shouting unscrupulously to kill the large-scale collapsed Burmese soldiers.

The cavalry is best at chasing and killing the scattered infantry. The Ming cavalry killed the Burmese soldiers who were scattered and fleeing like chopping melons and vegetables.

Thousands of Burmese vanguards were defeated and fled one after another. The Ming army strongly occupied Xinjie, a major town!

In the battle of Xinjie, both sides were not satisfied because it was too fast.

The Ming army was not happy, but the Burmese army was unhappy, believing that the Ming army did not talk about martial ethics and did not give a chance to take action.

In order to regain face, the Burmese army was very proactive. Prime Minister Mao felt that he was commanding 30 long-tail warships to go up the river, trying to recapture the main town Xinjie.

Behind the thirty long-tailed ships, dozens of warships were stationed on the east and west sides of Irrawaddy, and quickly landed on the shore to resettle Muzha camp.

These are the main forces of the Burmese army, with a large number of craftsmen in it. With hammers, nails, and wood, they shouted eighty-eighty, and quickly set up three wooden camps on the east and west sides as fortifications. Together with the thirty warships on the river surface, they formed a water and land defense formation.

The Ming army was deployed by Mu Tianbo's army on the east bank of the river, Li Dingguo's troops on the west bank, and the navy at the cape confronted the Burmese army vanguard head-on on the river.

On the wide Irrawaddy River, the Burmese army warships lined up in an interlaced manner, and the bows were all in the shape of Burmese lions or birds and beasts. The sailors on both sides kept rising and falling, and from a distance they looked like a group of centipedes rushing in, which looked quite scary.

A large red flag was inserted on the mast of the main Burmese warship, and a general in red clothes stood on the deck. He was the vanguard general of the Burmese Navy and the son of the Prime Minister.

Mao Dewang stood with his hands behind his back, and a proud look appeared on his face:

"The Ming army has a few tricks. If you want to talk about the navy, they won't do it!"

The Burmese military officer beside him froze his smile and said:

"Sir, the Ming Navy has never been defeated since its founding. You must not be careless..."

Mao Dewang looked unhappy and said:

"No matter how they used to be, if you dare to be arrogant in our country this time, this general will definitely let them be wiped out!"

"Sir..."

The Burmese official smiled and responded.

"Boom..."

Seeing that the opponent entered the range, Cape immediately ordered the gun to fire.

The Ming army's cannon sounded loudly, and with the splashing water, the fastest warship that the Burmese navy rushed to was exploded. Dozens of sailors on the ship floated on the river, some of which became a pile of minced meat, soaked in the river water.

The Ming army's artillery fire was very dense and relatives did not recognize each other. The Burmese navy went against the current. Although it was equipped with British ship-based guns, its practical experience was too stretched.

After the intensive baptism of shells, they all didn't know what to do, and it was difficult to take advantage of the equipment.

The frustrated Burmese navy retreated slightly, but at the call of the commander, he reorganized the formation and attacked again.

In this basin, the Irrawaddy River is a plain and shallows formed by the impact of a lot of mud and sand.

The depths of the river are different, which tests the technology of operating ships. The Burmese long-tail ships were designed according to this combat environment.

Observing the situation of the battle, I discovered the handsome Burmese general in the distance, and roughly judged his identity from the military flag on his main battlefield.

The captain was overjoyed and ordered three warships to rush over, trying to take down the enemy's chief general, and to capture the thief first.

The Ming army was near the shallows of the warship, Yang Guang, the captain of the Marine Corps, jumped into the shallow place with a musket, and led hundreds of sailors to the river to fight the Burmese ship of the red-clothed general.

The Ming army warships opened fire behind to cover the scene, and the Marine Corps took the opportunity to shoot, specifically shooting Burmese soldiers who emerged.

Mao Yuanwang discovered the Ming army's intentions and was immediately furious. Unwilling to be outdone, he picked up a flintlock rifle and fired back. The two sides launched each other to shoot.

"Dare to shoot against me, I'm looking for death!"

Yang Guang aimed at Mao Yuanwang and pulled the trigger:

"Bang……"

Mao Yuan glanced at the blood-colored bullet hole on his chest with an incredible face.

The Burmese army chief general with conspicuous armor was shot and fell on the deck, kicking his legs unnaturally, and the Burmese army was in chaos.

The Ming army's artillery fire was launched at once, and the strength did not decrease. The Burmese boats were once again in chaos, colliding with each other, and many capsized.

The Ming army then followed up with a crazy strafing, assassinating more than a thousand Burmese troops, capturing dozens of Burmese ships, winning a complete victory by water, and the Ming army's momentum was greatly boosted!

Seeing the battle on the river, the eldest son died in battle and his body was taken away by the Ming army, the Myanmar Prime Minister was frightened and furious.

Order the Burmese troops on both sides of the east and west to rush out of Muzha camp, attack the Ming army from land, and regain the body of the eldest son!

"Good come!"

Mu Tianbo, who was squatting on both sides of the Irrawaddy River, was so happy that his face bloomed and ordered the Burmese army to be faced.
