Views:

When Talong woke up, it was already in the hands of the lamp. One day passed in Talong’s anxiety. Although he slept a refreshing afternoon nap, after waking up, Talong had to face the people outside the city. Mingjun.

Talon has rich experience in strategizing and decisively winning a thousand miles. He knows that the morale of his army is low, whether it is soldiers or generals, they are frightened by the firearms of the Ming army and the speed of advancement.

The generals did not dare to go out of the city to fight the Ming army, especially General Gillenhai, whom Talong valued the most.

However, long-term passive defense would obviously show weakness to the Ming army, and morale would only get worse. Not to mention that food is a problem, morale alone can disintegrate his army.

Talong decided to go out of the city to fight the Ming army. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ming army to divide the army in the north and west of the city, he decided to take the Ming army in the west of the city first. As long as the Ming army is defeated, even if the battle is a tie, the Ming army can be undefeated. The myth is shattered.

Mu Qiyuan did not give him a chance to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

At the time of Chen Shizheng, when Talong was about to convene the generals for a meeting, the Ming army outside the West City had erected sixty artillery at a thousand steps away from the city wall. Behind the artillery, the 70,000 Ming army was standing by, ready to stand. Into the city.

The defenders on the front of the city noticed that the situation was different and immediately reported to Tarong.

As soon as Dongyu's messenger left the city, the artillery and mountain artillery of the Ming army began to fire.

Countless bombs hit the city walls and gates fiercely. Talong felt the ground trembling in his camp. Without the soldiers to report back, Talong knew that the Ming army was about to attack the city.

After a few rounds of shooting, maybe Mu Qiyuan felt that the war was about to end, and he could use the flower bullets extravagantly until the city wall collapsed with a 30-foot-long hole.

The Ming army cheered for a while, and the soldiers were eager to try, but Mu Qiyuan was not in a hurry. There were still 100,000 Tongyu soldiers in the city.

He asked the gunner to extend the blooming projectile forward three hundred steps and shoot four rounds.

The defenders have not been seen on the front of the city for a long time. Even if there are defenders alive, they should hide behind the wall, or simply fled from the front of the city, vying to report the latest battle to Talong.

Mu Qiyuan asked the gunners to move the artillery down the city, trying to get the blooming shells to fall to the eight hundred paces in the city, before re-arranging the artillery.

The blooming bullets extended five hundred steps and eight hundred steps into the city, and they were bombarded in four rounds.

"Commander, there are not many volleys of artillery. Can you enter the city now?" Chen Zizhuang was also upset by the Ming army’s volleys. Although he was a military commander, he had never seen so many volleys of artillery. Ten mountain cannons.

"Well, it should be almost done. Enter the city in order." Mu Qiyuan could not see the defenders at the top of the city for a long time, but a large number of defenders in the city should still be there. Don't be too distracted."

"Yes, army seat!" Chen Zizhuang agreed and ran away first. This time he won the first opportunity to enter the city. He had been looking forward to this moment.

The other troops were envious, but Mu Qiyuan issued a new military order, "Liu Zhenyu!"

"Here!" Liu Zhenyu stood straight beside Mu Qiyuan, thinking he was waiting for a second chance to enter the city.

Mu Qiyuan did not give Liu Zhenyu a chance to enter the city. "Talong may have to escape from the East City Gate, so don't enter the city. Take the 55th Division, bypass the North City Gate, and insert directly into the East City Gate along the city wall. Be sure to stop him, to see people alive, and a corpse to die!"

"Yes, Commander!" Although Liu Zhenyu was more willing to enter the city, he did not dare to defy Mu Qiyuan's military order. He waved at the soldiers of the 55th Division and rushed to the east city gate.

Liu Zhenyu was still a step slower.

When Talong was rushing to the West City Gate, he heard the report of the broken soldiers and knew that the West City Gate had been lost. He immediately returned to the barracks and directly retreated to the East City Gate with the soldiers.

When Liu Zhenyu rushed to the east city gate, there were already more than 30,000 Tongku soldiers out of the city. It was almost Talong’s main force at the north city gate. When Liu Zhenyu led his troops to pursue them, they were attacked by the Dongku elephant soldiers. Block.

It turned out that Talong estimated that the Ming army would chase him, so while escaping, he gathered the only hundreds of elephant soldiers in the city to block Daming's pursuit.

Liu Zhenyu was chasing lightly and did not carry heavy firearms. Facing Toungoo’s elephant soldiers, he had no choice but to watch Talon and Jilunhai leading the 30,000 Toungoo soldiers to flee to the southeast.

However, Liu Zhenyu blocked the Dongcheng gate. None of the 60,000 to 70,000 Dongyu soldiers left in the city escaped. Under the blow of the Ming army’s flintlock and mountain artillery, these Dongyu soldiers who lacked command suffered heavy casualties. They Calling the sky should not call the earth not working.

In desperation, the remaining Toungoo soldiers all knelt and surrendered. Mu Qiyuan received a total of more than 50,000 soldiers, because he knew that there would be no large-scale battles in the future. The soldiers were temporarily taken into custody.

Lin Chengxiang was responsible for the settlement of the city for the time being. All the people who assisted the Tongyu army were severely attacked by the Ming army, either shot or thrown into prisoners of war.

Mu Qiyuan personally led his 19th Army to pursue the deserters in Dongyu.

The elephant soldiers outside the East City had been wiped out or dispersed by rockets and mountain artillery. Mu Qiyuan followed Talong's steps and chased them to the southeast.

Now Talong, panicked like a dog in the mourning family, like a fish slipping through the net.

There was neither a pontoon bridge nor a boat to cross the Baigu River, and the soldiers of Toungoo had to swim by.

As soon as thousands of soldiers came ashore, even before the defensive formation was launched, there was a clapper sound. The shouting and killing shook the sky, and 30,000 soldiers from the big city gushed out of the bushes.

The arrows are like migratory locusts overwhelming the sky, carrying the infinite hatred and body temperature of the soldiers in the big city, and ruthlessly shot at the stunned Dongyu soldiers.

"Fight back, quickly set up a defensive formation!" He Long yelled anxiously on the other side, not knowing that cold sweat was flowing down his chin.

But the battlefield was too noisy, and their voices couldn't exceed Bai Guhe at all.

The Dongku soldiers who were wading across the river were so shocked that they would only dance in the water. They no longer dared to swim to the opposite bank. The thousands of soldiers who came ashore had already suffered more than half of the casualties before they were awakened, and the soldiers who could stand still. Less than two thousand.

Two thousand Tongyu soldiers began to fight back, but when they were crossing the river, they lost more than half of their knives, guns and arrows, and they had no power to fight back.

After a brief period of fear among the soldiers of the big city, there was another shower of arrows.

The huge number advantage completely suppressed the Toungoo soldiers. The Dacheng Army pursued the river embankment with victory, and forced the remaining hundreds of Toungoo soldiers back to Baiguhe.

The soldiers from Ayutthaya threw arrows into the river while harvesting the wounded Dongyu soldiers on the bank.

He was shocked. Why did the soldier on the opposite side have such a fighting capacity? However, he has no time to find this answer now. He knows that hundreds of elephant soldiers can only stop the Ming army for a while. After cleaning up the ancient city of Bai, the Ming army will chase it when it is open. He Long does not believe that the Dongyu army in the city can drag it. The main force of the Summing Army.

At that time, the Dongyu Army would face a double-sided attack from the Ming Army and the Dacheng Army, and the opponents still had a huge advantage in numbers.

"Brothers, crossing the river, the only way ahead is our way of life!" He had red eyes in a hurry. In order to boost morale, he personally jumped into Baiguhe, he wanted to take the lead.

Gillenhai hugged him in a hug, "Your Majesty, let me charge with my brothers!" He waved to his own soldiers, "Quickly, follow me across the river."

The Dongyu soldiers floating in the river began to swim towards the other side again.

The arrows of the Ayutthaya soldiers were constantly shooting at the Toungoo soldiers in the river, but the Toungoo soldiers only had their heads exposed on the water. The target was much smaller, and the shooting effect was very unsatisfactory.

Tongyu soldiers gradually approached the shore.

I don't know which Dacheng general found the problem, "Throwing, shoot the arrow into the sky, and let the arrow fall freely."

Now the Toungoo soldiers in the river are as dense as tadpoles. As long as the arrows fall from the air, there is no need to aim at them. It is at least 30% sure that they will land on the Toungoo soldiers.

"what… "

"Yeah..."

"It hurts..."

Tongyu soldiers screamed. These weird screams made him worry more than the reddish river. Seeing the only 10,000 Dongyu soldiers on the West Bank, he threw himself out, "Brothers, we have to cross the river. It succeeded, now all follow me to cross the river!"

"Puff, puff..."

The last Toungoo soldiers all jumped into the river and went forward.

Toungoo soldiers swimming in front were encouraged. They accelerated their advancement. The soldiers at the front had their feet on the floating soil at the bottom of the river. Once their feet were energized, their free hands began to shoot back with arrows.

In the desperate situation, the soldiers of Toungoo showed fighting power far beyond the soldiers of Ayutthaya. Although the 30,000 soldiers of Ayutthaya fought hard, the soldiers of Toungoo gradually landed ashore.

Toungoo’s soldiers set up defensive positions on the shore. The fighting between the two sides was in a stalemate. Toungoo’s army was unable to break through, and the soldiers in Dacheng were unable to move forward.

Toungoo soldiers in the Baigu River continued to come ashore and joined the battle with the soldiers of Ayutthaya.

Talong finally climbed up the river bank. He almost collapsed because he had swam too hard just now. He just got on the bank and sat down on the ground with his back facing the river bank.

He suddenly pricked his ears, and behind him faintly heard the Ming army shouting and killing, "No, the Ming army is coming!" He could not take a break, and with the support of his soldiers, he began to run towards the river bank.

As soon as he reached the embankment, he suddenly discovered that the soldier on the opposite side did not have artillery or flintlock, and was not wearing the Ming army's gray cloth, "Dacheng Soldier."

He was overjoyed. Since he was not the Ming army, he had a way to escape. He shouted, "Brothers, the soldiers in Dacheng are on the opposite side. Our defeated generals, rush... kill..."

The troops of Tongyu's soldiers were uplifted. They followed Talong and rushed to the opposite sheep like wolves, forward and forward. They only had one belief, and that was their only way out.

Soldiers on both sides began to contact and fell into short-handedness. He swung his knife and slashed at the big city soldiers who stood in front of him.

Suddenly, a flowing arrow shot at him silently. When he found the flowing arrow, it was too late. His long knife was cutting into the shoulder blades of the soldiers in the big city, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.

Liu Jian shot into Talong's neck and passed through his throat.

"Your Majesty..."

The soldiers supported Talong who was crumbling, but Talong was already speechless. The blood suddenly found the eruption outlet like a volcano, and the blowout.

He long looked at the battlefield in front of him weakly, and fell softly, and the soldiers who supported him were also dragged by his heavy body, until he died, he did not look at him.
