lied to Kangxi

Chapter 629
On the banks of the Irrawaddy River.

Holding a binoculars in his hand, Yu Zhu stared coldly at the Dongwu camp opposite him.

The decisive battle has begun. On Yuzhu's side is the 6000 Chinese and British coalition forces, and the Dongwu people on the opposite side are conservatively estimated to have 8 people.

However, although the Dongwu army has a large number of people, their weapons and equipment are still mainly knives and guns, supplemented by bows and arrows.

On the other hand, on the side of the new army, there are all flintlock rifles, coupled with more than 100 sub-cannons in the firearms battalion, there is obviously a generation difference in weapons.

Out of conservatism, Yuzhu also brought ten 12-pound naval guns, which he planned to use exclusively to bombard the Chinese army of the Dongwu people.

The front line of the Dongwu people is lackluster, and Yuzhu doesn't have much interest.

However, what made Yu Zhu more interested was that the Dongwu people put up an elephant formation consisting of nearly [-] elephants in front of the formation.

Well, Dongwu has many mountains, many jungles, and many elephants.

If Yuzhu led the army in the era of cold weapons, facing such a huge elephant formation, headaches are inevitable.

With the sound of horns, the Dongwu people began to attack.

Sure enough, as Yuzhu expected, the first ones to come out of the battle were not other things, but those hundreds of elephants.

Yuzhu observed for a while, then said lightly: "Pass my order, order the Firearms Battalion to prepare to bombard the enemy's elephant herd."

After the elephant herd entered the shooting range, amidst the sound of rumbling cannons, the Qing army's firearms battalion officially opened fire.

The characteristics of the mother and child artillery are that the shooting speed is extremely fast, and it is very convenient for field battles, but it is not enough for siege.

"Boom..." Amidst the thunderous roar, an elephant was shot in the chest. The iron bullet carried huge kinetic energy and smashed a huge blood hole in the elephant's body.

However, instead of falling down, the elephant turned its head around and rushed towards the Dongwu people.

Elephants are typical herd animals. As long as one elephant turns around, the rest will follow.

However, the elephant that took the lead to turn around only rushed back a few dozen meters after throwing off the elephant soldier, before falling into a pool of blood.

When Yuzhu gave the order to attack the elephant, he had already predicted that when the elephant couldn't hold back, it would definitely turn around and attack the Dongwu people's camp.

It was too late, and soon, hundreds of elephants rushed back into the attacking team of the Dongwu people like crazy.

"Ah...my mother..."

"Yeah, my leg, my leg..."

"Uh, save me, save me..."

In the Dongwu people's line, there was chaos, hundreds of elephants rampaged, trampling the panicked people recklessly.

"Blow the horn, move forward!" Yuzhu seized the opportunity and decisively gave the order to attack.

The soldiers of the new army, under the restraint of the officers, lined up in six columns, carrying rifles on their shoulders, and pressed towards the Dongwu people with their heads high and chest high.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the Dongwu people never dreamed that the originally invincible Xiang army would come back to counterattack.

After the Dongwu people's line collapsed, Yuzhu found Li Shaohe, the deputy general of the Yunnan Chuxiong Association, and ordered: "Take all your cavalry and kill them. The enemy will never turn around and resist, understand?"

Li Shao and Zha Qiandao: "Commander, the three thousand cavalry under the humble staff are waiting for this kind of great opportunity to hunt down. Commander, don't worry, the humble staff will not be greedy for merit, the main purpose is to force The Dongwu people only know how to run away, but they dare not turn around."

Yuzhu was very satisfied, and the child can be taught, so he smiled and made a promise: "If you capture the important minister of Dongwu Kingdom, I will recommend you as the commander-in-chief of the town. If you are lucky, you will be captured King Dongwu, the admiral of the green battalion in a province must be indispensable."

"Hey." Li Shaohe rode away with interest.

Yuzhu looked at Li Shaohe's back, and couldn't help smiling slightly. He appointed Chu Xiongxie, who wanted Li Shaohe to go to Nanyang with him, and he was looking at the more than 3000 cavalry equipped with Yunnan horses.

Dian horses are relatively short and good at carrying things on mountain roads, but they are not suitable for charging.

However, in Dongwu, where there is almost no large number of cavalry, [-] cavalry, even if they are equipped with Yunnan horses, are enough to turn a defeat into a war of annihilation.

When Li Shaohe went to pursue the Dongwu King, Yuzhu led the British and took the opportunity to occupy the capital of the Dongwu people, Ava City.

Two days later, Li Shaohe came back.

However, to Yuzhu's surprise, Li Shaohe actually brought back Dongwu King Daninge.

When Yuzhu saw the decadent Daningene, he couldn't help laughing, hehe, he went on an expedition to a foreign country and returned after capturing the king. The old emperor in his later years liked this tune!
After the beginning of spring, Yuzhu led the victorious army and returned to the court by sea boat.

After the old emperor received the battle report, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately ordered the fourth son to take the princes and ministers far away from Dagu Port in Tianjin to meet Yuzhu.

Yuzhu was still in the old habit, got off the boat early, avoided the fourth child and the others, and only took Dongwu King Daningene to Changchun Garden to meet the old emperor.

When the old emperor saw King Dongwu, he couldn't hide the smile lines on his face.

"Are you ready?" the old emperor asked Daningene with a smile.

Darningen knelt on the ground obediently, and said very submissively: "Submit, submit. If the emperor of the heavenly dynasty does not kill the villain, he will be very grateful and obey the Qing Dynasty forever." These words were actually taught by Yuzhu of.

Yuzhu knew what the old emperor liked to hear, so along the way, he deliberately arranged for Dongwu's interpreter, and specially taught Daningene to speak the soft words that the old emperor liked to hear.

Sure enough, after the old emperor heard this, Longxin was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hehe..."

Yuzhu took the opportunity to jokingly say: "The barbarians are uneducated and don't know our Chinese etiquette. Why don't they kill them and offer sacrifices to the flag?"

The old emperor was in high spirits, and Jing Yuzhu's enthusiasm became even higher. He laughed and said, "Zhuge Liang can still capture Meng Huo seven times, let alone me?"

Hearing this, Yuzhu was completely relieved, the old emperor obviously drank the ecstasy soup he deliberately arranged, and it was all right.

At this time, Darningen suddenly kowtowed several times, and said in a trembling voice: "Anyone who violates the might of the Qing Dynasty will be captured even if he is far away, such as a minister."

"Ah..." The old emperor couldn't help taking a deep breath, this flattery was really too appropriate, like drinking a can of iced cola in one gulp, feeling refreshed all over!

The old emperor happily chatted with Yuzhu for a long time, and Yuzhu took the opportunity to report that he formed an alliance with the British and broke holes together.

The national power of the Qing Dynasty was on the rise, and there were only more than 1000 British people. The old emperor really didn't take it to heart, nodded, smiled and said, "Well done, I know."

Very good, even if this has passed Ming Road, when Yuzhu cooperates with the British in the future, there will be no problem at all.

"Call it Zhang Tingyu, and order him to draw up an order."

"I'm tired too, go back to the mansion earlier to take a bath and rest, the decree will arrive later." Seeing Yu Zhu's tired face, the old emperor let him go very considerately.

After Yuzhu returned to the mansion, he took a bath and changed his clothes, and just as he picked up the teacup, he heard the report from the porter, "My lord, Heng Chen's department has come with an order."

"Come here, set up the incense table and prepare to receive the order."

"Whoo."
