Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1095
The timing of Liu Ting's appearance was good, and the plan was subtle enough. At this time, because of the large number of Burmese troops, they were clearly divided into three parts: front, back, middle.

The front army and the rear army are all under shelling, and there are landmines that will explode at who knows when.According to past experience, the most important thing at this time is not to fight back immediately, but to quickly stabilize the morale of the army to avoid collapse, especially the overall collapse from point to surface.

The Burmese army has not stopped fighting in recent years, so it is still very experienced. The three parts in the front, back, and middle have tacitly chosen to assemble and defend on the spot.

But the advantage of defending on the spot is that it is not easy to collapse, but the disadvantage is also more obvious, that is, the three parties are out of touch, and no one can expect the other party to save themselves. Everyone can only fight for survival based on their own abilities.

It's a pity that this is what the Liu brothers and sisters want, because Liu Ting's military strength is seriously insufficient compared with the Burmese army.Even if it's an ambush, he can't do all three lines, at most he can only focus on the front line to fight hard, while the other two lines can only delay, delay, and confuse the opponent as the main goal.

Originally, according to Liu Xin's pre-war plan, she wanted to fight the rear army.Because in this situation, if you focus on the rear army, there is a high probability that the opponent's front and center troops will flee faster, and how much the rear army can escape depends entirely on your own luck.In this way, it is easiest for the Ming army to obtain more beheads, and the overall battle results are the best.

However, Liu Ting disagreed. He believed that the best result would be the head of Mangyingli. As long as Mangyingli died, the Burmese army would collapse.

Liu Xin doesn't quite agree with this statement, because Mang Yinglong didn't only have one son in Mang Yingli back then, he also had a younger brother Mang Yingwa.It doesn't even matter if he is not a younger brother, because Mang Yingli is almost 50 years old, and he has his son Mang Shi and others who can inherit the throne at any time. These people can't be wiped out all at once, right?

This obviously makes sense, Liu Ting hesitated for a while, but finally decided to fight the Chinese army.Because he believes that even if the Burmese side will not be leaderless after being killed in Mangyingli, there will definitely be a period of chaos, and this period of chaos will also be very useful to Ming—whether follow-up reinforcements or more food and wages, all these need Arrive slowly and deploy in place.

Liu Xin felt that her elder brother hadn't figured out a problem, that is, the goal of the court might not be the same as his goal.

According to Liu Ting's meaning, of course, it is to get rid of the evil and do everything. Now that the Burma war has begun, it will not be the end of the situation until Burma is completely conquered.

But Liu Xin always felt that the court probably didn't think so, or even if they thought so, they couldn't do it.

This is well-founded: the imperial court’s mobilization of troops this time, regardless of Yunnan alone, has a 20 army mobilized, and some chieftains are also added.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that among the more than [-] troops, there are only two troops that are really at the tip of the sword, namely the Liu Ting and Deng Zilong armies—and even if the temporary reinforcements are included in these two armies , all added together is less than [-].

At the same time, according to Gao Yushi's secret news, Annan sent more soldiers than the imperial court!Annan dispatched more than 3 troops from the army and 2 from the navy (she was not familiar with the ownership of the fleet, and mistakenly thought it belonged to Annan). There are [-] troops here alone.

Not to mention being more pragmatic, I also contacted Myanmar's opponents such as the Siamese black prince Nalixuan, Lao Dao family siblings, how many soldiers will they have on hand?I don't know the specifics, but there must be tens of thousands, even if the combat power is not strong, the number is always obvious.

Looking back, Daming actually dispatched the fewest troops, what does this mean?It means that the court either refuses to send troops, or cannot.

There are two possibilities for not being able to send enough soldiers, either insufficient troops, insufficient money, or both.

It is certain that there is not enough money, because Liu Xin already knows that the imperial court has started to issue "bonds".She knew at a glance that this must be Gao Yushi's handwriting, but it is not surprising that Gao Yushi can manipulate "bonds", but it is hard to say how much "debt" the court can tolerate.

According to Liu Xin's thinking, the imperial court of Daming was extremely conservative, and I'm afraid it might not be willing to engage in deficit finance.The current "bond" was issued only after being forced to do nothing. When the war is stable and Yunnan can be assured, the first thing the court should do is not to eliminate all evil, but to pay back the money quickly to ensure that Debt free.

As for the strength of the troops... In fact, they are also nervous.Because the Ming Dynasty was not the Red Dynasty, the military strength was divided into three, six, or nine grades. The Yunnan side can use it to attack, except for the less than 2 people in the hands of Liu Ting and Deng Zilong. After that, there are not many left. And those troops I didn't dare to send all of them out—there are a lot of chieftains around, who knows if they have "communication"?If the front foot of the army has just left, and the rear foot of Yunnan is occupied by the rebel chieftain, who can bear the responsibility?
It's a pity that Liu Xin is not Huang Zhiting after all, she only has the right to make suggestions to Liu Ting, and if Liu Ting insists on fighting, she can't stop her.And she knew very well that the reason why Liu Ting insisted on attacking the Chinese army in Mang Yingli was to a large extent because he had to fight for it.

Some time ago, although Liu Ting was invincible, he was fighting the chieftain Xuanwei in northern Myanmar, and his achievements in battle were not very good.In the Battle of Longchuan, there was a chance to fight the Burmese army, but who knew that the Burmese army ran away ahead of time, and even Yue Feng himself played a golden cicada to escape his shell, so Liu Ting almost only took an empty city.

It was not the case with Deng Zilong. Not only did he forcibly withstood the attack of the main force of the Burmese army at Yaoguan, but he also had the strength to wipe out the Hanba family. And there is Yao Guan Tianxian to rely on, but that also has to consider the comparison of troops, Deng Zilong's troops are almost only one-tenth of the Burmese army!

So from Liu Ting's point of view, this battle is actually a battle between him and Deng Zilong. If this is the case, it is of course the most indisputable "to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies".

Oh, not the general, but the king?Well... that's even better.

When Liu Ting came out, the formation of the Burmese army's middle army was just about to stabilize, but he charged and killed more than 100 Burmese troops quickly. He alone beheaded more than ten people, three of whom looked like Should be generals.

Liu Xin also took part in the battle, but the guards around her were too brave, and some Burmese soldiers who dared to stop them were killed before they even had a chance to meet her.

She quickly discovered the anomaly, but instead of yelling at the guards, she deliberately rushed towards an obviously well-dressed Burmese general.

That general Mian was not young, probably in his early fifties. He saw a female general rushing towards him, and his personal guards were extremely brave, but he didn't panic at all. He coldly directed the soldiers around him to meet the enemy, and he Also kill will come.

However, Liu Xin pulled her horse's head immediately after the two sides fought, and slanted towards the other side.

The weapon Liu Xin used was not a saber like Liu Ting, but a long spear, and the fighting styles of the brother and sister were completely different.

Liu Ting's style is not much different from that of his youth, he is powerful and unstoppable, without the slightest fancy. Those who can kill an enemy with one move will never need a second move. Hacked to death.

On the other hand, Liu Xin seldom engages with the opponent's weapons, and more often relies on dexterous marksmanship to attack, relying on tricky angles and speed to directly kill, and resolutely does not block unless it is absolutely necessary, even if the opponent cannot attack. When not defending, she will also take the way of unloading.

A simple summary is that one focuses on "severeness" and the other focuses on "smartness".

Liu Xin killed four people in a row, and the guards who were ordered to guard her surrounded her again.These personal guards were terribly nervous, for fear that something might happen, and they would be used by Liu Ting to sacrifice the flag afterwards, so when they saw something wrong just now, they found an opportunity to throw away the Burmese general and "protect" Liu Xin again.

Liu Xin had no choice but to let them go. She took a look at the situation and found that Liu Ting was rushing towards the side where the white elephants gathered, but with two arrows stuck behind her.

Feather arrows are not terrible for generals, because the armors worn by senior generals are all real materials, and now Jinghua's smelting technology is better than in the past, these two arrows on Liu Chen's back will not hurt at all. to him.

But Liu Xin knew that it was not good news for her eldest brother to be shot so quickly, because it meant that the resistance of the Burmese army was not weak, and Liu Ting himself charged too hard—only if he charged too hard could he get shot in the back.

She quickly made up her mind, and with a coquettish scolding, she rode her horse towards Liu Ting's direction, intending to protect Liu Ting's rear, so as not to fall into a tight siege after going deeper. The guards around her followed suit without saying a word. went.

But at this time, a situation that was not expected before appeared, that is, the elephant soldiers counterattacked.

Elephant soldiers are a special unit of the Burmese army. The brothers and sisters of the Liu family had considered and arranged them before the war. According to the situation of fighting elephant soldiers in the previous high-level Annan battle, the weakness of elephants is that they are afraid of loud noises and fire attacks. Today's ambush also starts with shelling and mines.

However, since the Chinese army is the scheduled main theater, there are no landmines, so as not to blow themselves up.The loud noise of the shelling also had enough impact on the elephants. Those elephants fell into chaos at the beginning of the ambush. The wolves rushed and rushed around, which had a great impact on the formation of the Burmese army.

However, Liu Xin discovered a problem at this time, that is, although the elephant army as a whole collapsed and had not been able to gather until now, the batch of white elephants did not collapse.Although several of the white elephants neighed a few times and flicked their big noses, they looked a little anxious, but they still obediently obeyed the command of the elephant slaves and were forming a formation.

What was even worse was that the purpose of these ten or so white elephants was very clear, all of them were facing Liu Ting!

"Brother, be careful of those white elephants!" Liu Xin yelled at Liu Ting while leading people to kill and disperse the Burmese army behind Liu Ting.

Hearing the warning from his younger sister behind him, Liu Ting split open the head of the Burmese soldier in front of him with a knife with his right hand, stretched out his left hand to wipe the blood spattered on his face, and glanced at the white elephant array, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. Secretly thought: Why are these elephants not crazy?And why does it seem to be extra tall?
He subconsciously glanced at the saber in his hand, and thought, "Fine, although my saber is specially made by the Wang family, but these beasts are so huge, unless they stab directly into the heart or cut off their heads, they are probably useless."But these damn white elephants are too tall, how can they cut off their necks?Heart... fuck your grandma, where is the elephant's heart?

The worst enemy to deal with is the one with no weakness at all.

You must know that the height of an adult Asian elephant can be more than [-] meters, and the weight can be as high as five tons. In this era, the ecological environment has not been destroyed. Myanmar and other places regard elephants as a gift from God and they are well protected. They chose them for the king of Myanmar. The white elephant, which one is not the best among elephants?

Even if Liu Ting was as ferocious as a tiger, he could only be blinded by these huge white elephants more than one foot tall.

But Liu Ting's being in a daze here doesn't mean that the other party will also be in a daze with him. The other party's elephant herd has already charged up, and the leader is a giant elephant riding a veteran in golden robes.

He is said to be a veteran, but he is actually not very old. He is about the same as the previous general Namyan. He looks in his early fifties, and he looks very similar to the previous general Namyan.

This person is holding a special spear about ten feet long, which seems to be a special weapon used by Xiang Zhan. The body of the spear seems to be similar to the weapons of wolf soldiers. gold.

Liu Ting's mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately estimated a key statistic: Even if he has excellent riding skills, avoiding the collision of the white elephant and the stabbing of the opponent's spear, the horse-cutting knife in his hand can only get the most. If you touch the opponent's feet, you don't even think about killing the enemy.

I can't fight him, I have to find another way...

But he is Liu Ting, and he has never actively avoided the enemy before, so he is not very willing to withdraw first.

After this hesitation, the other party rushed over, and General Namian yelled in Chinese: "General Wu Naming, have you ever heard of my famous name!"

Reckless?I've heard it, Mang Yinglong's younger brother, Mang Yingli's uncle, your head is also valuable.

When Liu Chen heard that the other party was actually an imperial uncle—no, it seemed to be Uncle Wang—not only did he not retreat, but he became excited all of a sudden, and laughed loudly: "I am worried that your eggless nephew will escape!" Too soon, there is no head to drink with, and you will bring it to your door! Wonderful, wonderful... Mang Zhuo, your head must be taken today!"

Mang Zhuo was furious when he heard that, although he could speak Chinese, it was obvious that he was not good at cursing and fighting in Chinese, so he was so angry that he cursed and slapped the white elephant to speed up.Looking at that appearance, today I have to trample the brash general in front of me into a pulp.

And Liu Ting's reaction was even more weird. He actually rode forward, and it was a very rare sudden increase in speed - if it wasn't because his mount was the top Ujimqin horse that Gao Yushi gave him, it would have been so after the war. A horse must rest for two or three months.

Uncle Mang Zhuo Mang obviously didn't expect this, but he didn't panic. Instead, he sneered, picked up the super long spear and stabbed suddenly.According to his thinking, even if the opponent's war horse would subconsciously avoid the white elephant, his own spear could stab Liu Ting right through.

Mang Zhuo is also a famous general of the Burmese Army who followed Mang Yinglong to kill all over the Indochina Peninsula. Even though he is already too old, after getting older, the main decline is stamina, temporary explosive power is still there, and experience will not decline with age, so He has this confidence.

However, Liu Ting is Liu Ting after all. Not only did he not dodge or dodge, but when the tip of the spear was less than an arm's length away from his body, he suddenly abandoned the knife, and stretched out his hands quickly, spinning strangely. With a pull, he shouted at the same time: "Come down, sir!"

Before Mang Zhuo understood what was going on, he felt a huge force coming from the spear in his hand, as if he was grasping the nose of a white elephant that was twitching suddenly.

He was actually picked up by Liu Ting all of a sudden, and he performed a "buttocks backward flat sand falling wild goose pose" on the spot, fell to the ground with a bang, and remained motionless.

Seeing this, the Ming soldiers behind Liu Ting were heartbroken and shouted excitedly: "The general is mighty! Great Ming wins!"
