The Ming army, who had long been hidden outside the Dongyu camp, smashed the bombs one by one at the Dongyu army’s camp. The Dongyu soldiers who had just calmed down, like headless flies, could not find the safe area for a while. Ran around in the big camp.
The sparks released when the flower bomb exploded ignited the tent of the Dongyu Army. The fire spread rapidly, completely exposing the entire camp under the muzzle of the Ming Army.
His face was pale, and apart from being in a daze, he really couldn't think of any way to intercept the Ming army's bombshells.
The tent was burning, the grain was burning, the soldiers screamed, and the officers screamed.
He Long turned a deaf ear. He was thinking about the Ming army's strategic intentions, whether it was a small fight or a large-scale sneak attack, and even used the advantage of firearms to launch a strong attack on the Dongyu camp.
If it is said that the army only dropped a few "ten thousand enemies" at the Dongyu camp, Talong believes that the Ming army just came to harass it. Now the Ming army’s artillery group is launching a violent shelling on the Dongyu camp, Talong estimates , The Ming army wanted to change a sneak attack into a strong attack.
Only then did Talon understand that the Ming army dropped bombs on the Dongyu camp, only to attract their attention, and the purpose was to move the artillery near the Dongyu camp quietly.
"Your Majesty, all the artillery of the Ming Army are in the north." A general Tongyu who was calmer than Tarong finally discovered this secret. Even if the artillery of the Ming Army was concentrated in the north, then the Ming Army would definitely attack from the north. .
Talong also discovered the movement of the Ming army from the flight trajectory of the artillery shells. "Immediately organize the soldiers to leave the camp and retreat south." When the artillery of the Ming army stopped, it would inevitably be killed from the north. He couldn't see the reality in the dark. You must first find a safe place south, and then re-set up camp.
Toungoo soldiers retreated to the south. They had already developed a huge fear of the firearms of the Ming army, and the soldiers were scrambling to get ahead.
In this darkness, the generals could no longer accurately convey Talong's orders, nor could they restrain his soldiers, and the retreat quickly became a rout.
Mu Qiyuan did not let the soldiers enter the camp of the Dongyu Army. Outside the camp of the Dongyu Army, there must be many hidden piles, juma piles, and iron bars. Once the soldiers hit the camp of the Dongyu Army, there will be no casualties. less.
He asked the gunner to extend the artillery fire forward, hitting the Dongyu Army with flare bombs, destroying their last bit of resistance, and forcing them to escape the camp as soon as possible.
In order to cooperate with the bombs, the soldiers of the Ming Army began to make deafening shouts of killing. Although the Dongyu Army did not understand Chinese, they must know that this was the sound made by the soldiers of the Ming.
The voices of tens of thousands of soldiers literally overwhelmed the bullets. The soldiers also bypassed the barracks and drove the Dongyu army from the north and south sides until all the Dongyu soldiers escaped from the camp.
The Ming army chased at the end of the rank and slaughtered the lagging and unsuccessful Toungoo soldiers. Toungoo's soldiers only had one way forward. The soldiers scattered on both sides soon became the ghosts of the Ming army.
The two thousand cavalry gave full play to their speed advantage, and continuously divided the Dongyu Army into a small group, handed it over to the Ming Army infantry behind, and then continued to divide the Dongyu Army who fell behind.
Although it was dark and the casualties could not be seen clearly, the screams from the soldiers of Tongyu from behind could still guess the tragedy of their companions. As long as they were behind, they would have only one result, and that was death.
When the enemy’s situation is unknown, not to mention the soldiers, even the generals can only flee for themselves. The soldiers even take out the strength of feeding. They want to give him two extra legs, where they can control the back. Companion
In the process of pursuing, it was really inconvenient to load flintlocks. The Ming army used war knives. Although the Ming army's ability to fight in hand-to-hand combat was not strong, the current Dongyu army would just run away blindly, and never dared to look back. The army faced the battle, and the Ming army's swords were all slashed at the back of Dongyu soldiers.
Once you turn around, you will be trapped in the crowd of the Ming army. It must be dead, and there is still a chance to escape.
The Ming army also carried mountain artillery and fired several bombs from time to time to maintain its deterrent against the Toungoo Army.
Soldiers on both sides were in a state of madness. Toungoo soldiers ran away madly, Ming army soldiers pursued madly, and if they caught up with Toungoo soldiers, they slaughtered madly.
The Ming army pursued for more than an hour in one go.
The Dongkuo soldiers ran wildly for twenty miles in the night, and then they gradually got rid of the pursuit of the Ming army. They just slowed down, and before they could catch their breath, the Ming army from behind caught up again.
The mountain artillery of the Ming army was also set off from time to time like a demonstration, and the loud sound of the bombs completely destroyed the resistance will of the Tongyu soldiers just raised.
Toungoo's soldiers are at large, and the Ming army is chasing and killing them.
Suddenly, there was another burst of bombs in front of him, and a large number of Dongyu soldiers collapsed.
The fatigue and despair after physical exhaustion made the Dongku soldiers extremely weak. At this time, a gunshot or a small stone on the road could make them fall forever.
The Ming army’s flowering bombs were also ruthlessly harvesting the lives of Tongyu soldiers. The dexterous and lightweight mountain artillery constantly adjusted the direction and distance to spread the flowering bombs to the densest crowds as much as possible.
Hearing the sound of the flower bomb exploding, Mu Qiyuan, who had been frowning and frowning, finally stretched his brows, "Old man, after all you have arrived at your destination, it seems that the sky is gone."
Talong was dumbfounded, but as the top commander of the Toungoo Army, his years of experience in battle helped him to wake up first. There were blocking bombs in front of him, followed by a large number of Ming troops chasing after him. River.
Fleeing to the right, this is Talong's only choice.
Seeing the Tongyu Army retreating to the west, the ambushing Ming Army stopped its shelling and joined the wave of tail chase. They waited for work and chased with all their strength. They should be able to surpass the Tongyu army, but Mu Qiyuan’s tactics were only tail chase. , So that the soldiers of Toungoo have hope of escape.
The soldiers in Dongkuo really have hope of escape, as long as they get rid of the Ming army behind. But the Ming army is like brown candy, firmly sticking to their ass, not far or near, just to clean them up.
If Dongyu’s soldiers have nowhere to escape, and with his presence, they are completely likely to fight to the death. Although Mu Qiyuan is confident that he can still defeat the Dongyu army, the Ming army will also suffer a lot of losses, and there may be more losses. Dongyu army took advantage of the chaos and fled.
The Ming army calmly pursued, especially the ambush just now. They were very physically strong. They were chasing after Dongyu's army. They were simply taking a walk and reaping those unscrupulous Dongyu soldiers by the way.
Pursue the tail, kill the rout soldiers, and consume the life and physical strength of the Dongyu soldiers as much as possible.
Talon didn't know how much Toungoo soldiers had lost. The Ming army didn't give him a chance to count. He was no different from ordinary Toungoo soldiers except to show the way out for the escaped Toungoo army.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
At the moment, the Dongyu Army has no orders. Even if the orders are issued, the soldiers can't stop the pace of fleeing.
The Ming army was also a human, and Talong didn't believe it. In the face of death, the Dongyu army would not be able to escape the Ming army. This was the land they were most familiar with and the land they depended on to feed them.
Riding on horseback, Talong didn't let go of his horse speed with all his strength. Once it was dark, he couldn't see the road. Secondly, if he escaped, the soldiers behind him would not be able to find the direction of escape.
He Long issued a military order, asking the soldiers of Tongyu to use the strength of gnawing milk and show the demeanor of a soldier.
This military order is very suitable. Toungoo's soldiers are fleeing, and Tarong's military order is the greatest affirmation and encouragement to them.
The Tongyu Army ran westward for five miles in one breath, and the Ming Army was gradually overthrown by Talong's large troops because they wanted to kill the lagging Toungoo soldiers.
Seeing the footsteps of the Ming army getting farther and farther, he let out a sigh of relief. The soldiers of Tonggu were really well-trained, and it was easy to climb over the mountains, let alone on the flat ground, where life and death were still at stake.
Before the white breath exhaling from his mouth had condensed, he felt strange.
In front of them is another group of blooming bombs.
The nearest flower bomb landed less than ten feet away from Talong. Fortunately, the Toungoo soldiers around Talong were very dense, which offset the shock wave of the flower bomb and blocked the countless fragments produced when the flower bomb exploded.
His body was not injured, but his heart was severely injured and blood was flowing like a stick, and his internal organs seemed to be in pain as if they had moved.
Like all soldiers, he fell into extreme despair in the boundless night.
"How many Ming troops are there? In which direction is the main force of the Ming troops?" He long reined in the horse's rein, as if muttering to himself, "This is the land of Dongkuo!"
Time does not allow Talong to hesitate. The mountain cannons of the Ming army are constantly harvesting the lives of Dongyu soldiers, and the blooming bombs threaten Talong's safety at any time.
At this time, a slightly clear-headed General Tongyu approached him, "Your Majesty, the sky is dark now, the enemy's situation is unknown, and the soldiers are seriously exhausted. They cannot escape the pursuit of the Ming army."
"You mean, let me abandon the soldiers and escape alone?" His long face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he disappeared into the night without disguising.
"Leave the green hills, not afraid that there will be no firewood, as long as your Majesty..."
"No, it's a big deal to fight with the Ming army, let me Talong escape alone, can't do it, send the order, the rear army will become the front army, ready for a decisive battle." Talong waved the spear in his hand, he was ready to take the lead. It’s not safe anywhere.
"Your Majesty..." The officer did not send an order, "If you start a decisive battle with the Ming army when you start withdrawing troops, who will be the one who will kill you? Maybe, now that the soldiers are exhausted, where is the strength to fight?"
Talong looked through the flames of the flaming bombs, and he saw that the soldiers of Dongyu had difficulty moving. Some soldiers, who were clearly not shot, were frightened by the sound of the flaming bombs and could no longer stand up. He sighed: What a ruthless Ming army!"
"Your Majesty, as long as we break out of the encirclement of the Ming army, we can still fight the Ming army. The army of General Gillenhai is not far from here, and there are soldiers guarding each city..."
"Then what about these soldiers?" Talong still couldn't bear it. "If we leave, they... They are the best soldiers in Toungoo!"
"Your Majesty, they have lost their combat effectiveness. They are toothless tigers and legless war elephants. The Ming Army will not treat them like anything."
He long looked at the battlefield again. He didn't believe that the Ming army would treat his soldiers kindly. The 10,000 Dongyu soldiers in Ava city were wiped out. Didn't the Ming army kill and surrender? He also saw with his own eyes that the Ming army killed all the Dongyu wounded soldiers in front of the formation.
But now Talong, there is no second way, unless he wants to bury his soldiers.
He was unwilling to resign, but still took the remaining hundreds of cavalry, taking advantage of the night, and secretly fled to the south.
