Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 784
Mu Tianbo was very calm, and immediately ordered the infantry of the Ming army to line up in three rows in front of the formation.

When the Burmese soldiers almost rushed to the firing range, following the order to fire, the Ming army immediately heard fierce gunshots.

The first platoon of musketeers began to fire, sending out a volley of flames.

"Bang bang bang..."

The Burmese soldiers who fell down fell down, and those who didn't fall down started running around, but they didn't retreat.

They are just cannon fodder, and there are regular Burmese troops supervising the battle behind them. If they retreat, they will die, so it is better to charge forward with a dull head.

The first row of musketeers retreated after the Ming army finished shooting, and the second row began to shoot!
"Bang bang bang..."

The first row of musketeers retreated after the Ming army finished shooting, and the second row began to shoot!
After the second row finished shooting, the Ming army in the third row continued to fill in the positions and shoot!
Bean-like gunshots rang out one after another, and this time the target was aimed at the war elephants rushing forward.

Although the Burmese army has flintlock guns, they are limited to the main force, and don't even think about the door soldiers. They are basically cannon fodder for streaking and charging, but they have war elephants!
The panicked guards didn't have the heart to protect the elephant's limbs. The elephant shot by the musket began to go mad and run wild, rushing the natives to pieces and screaming all over the sky.

They called them, the Ming army fought the Ming army, and after a round of volleys, there was another round.

The soldiers of the Ming army had been tossed in the rainforest for so long, and they didn't see a ghost. Now they saw so many enemy soldiers, their eyes were shining, and they fought very hard!
They are not fighting indiscriminately, they are very purposeful.

The second round of shooting was mainly to suppress the Burmese army that had not been concentrated before, and it was taken care of very carefully.

In just two rounds, the chieftain soldiers, who had never seen the big world, basically collapsed after being shot, looking for bunkers everywhere, unable to form a group combat effectiveness.

Even the chieftains who were ready to pick up the trophies in high spirits were screaming like birds and driving the elephants back.

"It's a dog day without a fight..."

Mu Tianbo shook his head, and then sent an order:
"On the gun!"

Twenty big Ming guns immediately began to shoot at the Burmese soldiers.

"Kakkaka..."

The Daming Gun shot and killed hundreds of Burmese soldiers in one round, and the rifled guns also kept killing.

With the screams of the Burmese guards, more and more people fell, and the Burmese army immediately began to collapse.

"Cavalry, kill!"

With Mu Tianbo's order, the cavalry on the two wings rushed out, yelling and slashing and killing the scattered Burmese soldiers.

The cavalry is best at chasing and killing the scattered infantry. The cavalry of the Ming army killed the fleeing Burmese soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables.

Thousands of Burmese army's vanguard troops were defeated and fled one after another. The Ming army occupied Xinjie, an important town!

In the battle of Xinjie, both sides fought hard because it was too fast.

The Ming army was not happy, but the Burmese army was unhappy, thinking that the Ming army did not pay attention to martial arts and would not give a chance to make a move.

In order to save face, the Burmese army took the initiative. Prime Minister Mao felt that he commanded [-] long-tailed warships up the river in an attempt to regain the important town of Xinjie.

Behind the thirty long-tailed boats, dozens of warships stopped on the east and west banks of the Ayeyarwady, and quickly went ashore to set up the Muzha camp.

These are the main forces of the Burmese army, and there are a large number of craftsmen. With hammers, nails, and wood, they shouted eighty-eight, and quickly erected three wooden fence camps on the east and west banks as fortifications. Thirty warships on the upper river formed a water and land defensive formation.

The deployment of the Ming army was that Mu Tianbo's army was on the east bank of the river, Li Dingguo's troops were on the west bank, and Haijiao's navy confronted the Burmese army vanguard head-on on the river.

On the broad Ayeyarwady River, Burmese warships are lined up in a staggered manner. The bows of the ships are in the shape of Burmese lions or birds and beasts. The oars of the sailors on both sides are constantly rising and falling. frightening.

A large red flag was planted on the mast of the main battleship of the Burmese army, and a general in red was standing on the deck. He was the forward general of the Burmese navy and the son of the prime minister.

Mao Dewang stood with his hands behind his back, with a proud look on his face:

"The army of the Ming army has a few brushes. If you want to talk about the navy, they can't do it!"

The Burmese army officer beside him froze his smile and said:
"My lord, the Daming Navy has never lost a single defeat since its founding, so you must not be careless."

Mao Dewang looked displeased, and said:

"No matter what they did in the past, if they dare to be arrogant in our country this time, this general will definitely wipe them out!"

"My lord is brave."

The Burmese officer responded with an apologetic smile.

"Rumble..."

Seeing that the opponent entered the range, Haijiao immediately sent an order to fire.

The artillery of the Ming army exploded in a large area. Accompanied by splashing water, the fastest warship rushed by the Burmese navy was blown apart. Dozens of sailors on board floated dead on the river, some of them turned into a pile of minced meat, soaked In the river water.

The artillery fire of the Ming army was very intensive, and the relatives did not recognize it. The Burmese navy sailed upstream. Although equipped with British ship-borne guns, their actual combat experience was too extensive.

After being baptized by intensive shells, each of them didn't know what to do, and it was difficult to take advantage of the equipment.

The thwarted Burmese navy retreated slightly, but under the command of the general, they regrouped and attacked again.

The Ayeyarwady River in this section of the river is a river plain and shoal formed by the impact of a lot of sediment.

The bottom of the river is different in depth, which is a test of the skill of operating the ship. The long-tailed boats of the Burmese army are designed according to this combat environment.

Observing the battle situation, he spotted the coquettishly dressed Burmese general in the distance, and roughly judged his identity from the flag of his main battlefield.

Haijiao was overjoyed, and ordered three warships to rush over, trying to take down the enemy's chief general, and to catch the thief first and capture the king first.

The Ming army's warship was near the shoal, and Yang Guang, the captain of the marine corps beside Cape, jumped into the shallow water with a musket in his hand, and led several hundred sailors across the river to kill the Burmese ship of the general in red.

The Ming army's warship opened fire behind it to cover, and the Marine Corps took the opportunity to shoot and shoot specifically at the soldiers of the Burmese army who took the lead.

When Mao Yuanwang discovered the Ming army's intentions, he was furious immediately. Not to be outdone, he took up a flintlock to fight back, and the two sides fired each other.

"Dare to shoot at me, court death!"

Yang Guang aimed at Mao Yuanwang and pulled the trigger:
"boom……"

Mao Yuanwang shook his body, and looked at the bloody bullet hole in his chest with a face full of disbelief.

The chief general of the Burmese army with conspicuous armor was shot and fell on the deck, kicking his legs unnaturally, causing the Burmese army to be in chaos.

The Ming army opened fire with unrelenting fire, and the Burmese boats were once again in a mess, colliding with each other, and many boats capsized.

The Ming army immediately followed up with a burst of frenzied shooting, assassinated more than 1000 Burmese troops, captured dozens of Burmese ships, and won a complete victory in the waterway attack, and the Ming army's momentum was greatly boosted!
Seeing the defeat of the battle on the river, the death of the eldest son, and the body being taken away by the Ming army, the Burmese prime minister was shocked and angry.

Order all the Burmese troops on the east and west sides to rush out of the Muzha camp, attack the Ming army from the land, and take back the body of the eldest son!

"Good come!"

Seeing this, Mu Tianbo, who was squatting on both sides of the Irrawaddy River, was so happy that his face blossomed, and he ordered to meet the Burmese army.
