Chapter 787 Siege Awa

The sound of killing around him was shocking, and Mao was far-sighted and the whole person became much haggard in an instant.

Escape! There is nowhere to escape? Escape back to Awa City is only a dead end!

Surrender! He wouldn't think about it at all. This guy was also a loyal minister to the Tou Dynasty.

Looking at the big Ming army approaching fiercely, he was not afraid.

Mao Deyuan took a deep breath and shouted at the only remaining personal soldiers beside him:

"Brothers, it's time to serve the Dongyu Dynasty! Let me kill the enemy! Kill one enough to kill one, kill two and earn one!"

He carried a long sword, turned over and straddled his horse to attack the Ming army.

As for whether the personal soldiers behind him were following him or not, he no longer cared, and he was all dead anyway.

Seeing a general Ming general in the Ming army ahead, Mao Deyuan roared and urged his horse to rush forward, preparing to kill the Ming army's chief general.

General Ming waved his hand to let the soldiers disperse, and he was ready to fight with the Burmese commander.

But he did not draw the knife, but just gently raised his left hand, and in his hand was a revolver.

"Bang……"

The number one general in Myanmar, Mao Deyuan, the national protection general, just raised his sword and was shot and killed by Ming General on the spot!

This Ming general was Li Dingguo, the chief general of the Dragon Banner Army.

In fact, with Li Dingguo's ability, even if he uses cold weapons, Mao Deyuan has no chance of winning.

Li Dingguo originally liked spears and bows and arrows. After seeing Liu Wenxiu's flintlock rifle in his hand, he also decisively chose to use firearms.

Raising your hand and pulling the trigger can easily kill your opponent. This method is simple, crude and efficient. Of course, Li Dingguo threw away the cold weapons without hesitation.

After killing General Dongyu, Li Dingguo blew the green smoke at the muzzle and looked at the Burmese general disdainfully:

"Ignorous man, what era is he still playing with swords and guns!"

The battles in the Burmese military camps were not fierce. They were all the Ming army chasing Burmese soldiers, and the city was in chaos.

Under the encirclement and interception of the Ming army, the Burmese army had nowhere to escape. From time to time, people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and did not dare to resist.

...

After the war in Jiangtoucheng ended, Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo once again divided his troops into three groups, set out from Jiangtoucheng, and marched towards the capital of Myanmar Awa!

The roads from Yunnan to Myanmar are rugged and difficult to walk, with many jungles, and it is difficult to walk along the way.

The road from Jiangtou City to Awa is a plain with pleasant scenery.

The news of the defeat on the front line came, and the entire Ava City was in a mess.

I thought it would be difficult for the Ming army to break through the barriers of the primeval forest, but I didn't expect that Jiangtou City would be destroyed so quickly.

The Burmese King immediately began to mobilize all the troops to defend against the Ming army's attack on Dongshudu Awa.

After receiving the strict order, the Burmese military troops immediately stopped their production labor and went to the designated location to report, preparing to go on an expedition to block the Ming army.

These portal soldiers were covered in dust, with bedding, ammunition, and pots hanging on one end, and rice, salt and shrimp paste hanging on the other end.

In this way, Burmese soldiers did not use vehicles, did not bring tents, wore daily clothes, wrapped in red cloth strips as soldiers' marks on their heads, and drove to the place they wanted to go.

When camping, they rest on the spot and cook their own food after getting up. They are just logistics, and there is no burden of logistics supplies.

The Burmese army's seemingly disregarding the safety of grassroots soldiers has increased the military's mobility.

Such an army is most suitable for terrain combat in Myanmar. Unfortunately, the Ming army and equipment they faced this time were all those they had never met before.

I haven't even heard of it. How could they know that the Ming army's equipment is definitely the most powerful army of that era, no doubt about it.

Along the way, the Ming army's tiger and wolf army was invincible and they easily defeated the chieftain soldiers who came to support one by one.

Sometimes, by only one team of dozens of troops, you can easily defeat the Burmese army with a scale of thousands.

In addition to the portal soldiers, some scholars from the primitive tribes were summoned by the Burmese king to join the war.

These people have thick lips, the Burmese army called them cannon fodder, and the Ming army called them savages.

The savages have a wild path, they are brave in fighting, and they rush up with sticks. They are not afraid of the Ming army at all, and they have a professional quality as cannon fodder.

Unfortunately, cannon fodder will always be cannon fodder, and the Ming army turned them into real cannon fodder without hesitation!

King Long was both angry and afraid, and Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo was also angry by them.

Since the Dongyu Dynasty was ungrateful, he decided to use violence to defeat them and conquer them!

So Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo ordered the entire army:

"Don't take prisoners, kill all enemies when they encounter them on the road! If there are chieftains who resist, slaughter their tribe!"

The tactics of the Burmese Army portal soldiers are very fixed. Whether they are cavalry or infantry, they like to throw throwing weapons such as javelins and darts, and they run away after they throw.

Then let the musketeers follow up on the shooting. The portal soldiers are not qualified to let the elephant soldiers fight the forwards, and they only have a simple formation to deal with the enemy.

But the Ming army's mortar rifled rifles were not something they could imagine.

After several rounds of alternate shooting, the Burmese army's gatekeeper could no longer withstand it and immediately suffered a defeat.

They had no armor and ran very fast. If they were in later generations, Bolt would probably not be as fast as them.

The countries in the Indochina Peninsula have not produced armor since ancient times, and generally use rattan armor, which is just a simple helmet, shoulder pads and joint protection.

With the gradual popularity of firearms, the vine armor lost its effectiveness, and the main force of the Burmese army had almost no armor, let alone the portal soldiers.

Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo ordered the cavalry to pursue and kill them all.

The end of this department's household soldiers was very tragic. No matter how fast they ran, they would never run over the four-legged war horse. Under the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, the entire army was wiped out.

In the next few days, the Ming army's reputation for bloodthirsty death spread far and the resistance they encountered was significantly less.

On the tenth day of the 20th year of Chongzhen, the Ming army collided with the ambushing Burmese army on the way to march, which was actually the royal city guards.

Myanmar's military structure is loosely ally. The elite troops of the Burmese King are within the capital. Only the power of the Imperial Guards can maintain the power of the Burmese King.

Therefore, the royal guards are the most combat-capable army among the Burmese army!

However, the strong army of Myanmar is just a big mistake in front of the Ming army.

Mortars, rifled rifles, grenades, and tiger squat cannons burst into pieces, and they immediately fled in all directions.

Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo easily defeated the ambush and specially captured several prisoners.

The Ming army tortured the prisoners and learned that the Burmese King sent out all 10,000 imperial guards.

Now there are almost no soldiers available in East Avane, and only one king's guard is to protect the palace!

Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo was overjoyed when he heard the news and continued to urge the army to accelerate.

Half a day later, the Ming army arrived thirty miles outside Awa City.

As a result, the Ming army's vanguard collided with an imperial guard again, and the two armies continued to strangle together.

The battle result soon became one-sided, and the imperial guards were killed by the Ming army and retreated step by step.

Many cavalry were shot to death by gunfire and fled back to the camp in the rear, turning to attack and defending.

No matter how many times the Ming army teased, the Imperial Guards remained as still as mountains. They meant they had the means to attack the city!

On the second day, Mu Tianbo, Li Dingguo, led a large army of land to the city of Dongxu.

At this time, the cape that was traveling through water and land had already arrived and launched a siege against Ava City.

It happened to be foggy that day, creating excellent conditions for the Ming army to siege the city.

Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo was overjoyed and immediately ordered his troops to attack Awa City.
