Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 786 Three-way encirclement
It is different from the small wooden fences that were breached by the artillery fire of the Ming army.

These wooden fences are stronger and thicker than those encountered before, and the main force of the Taungoo Army is arranged here!

After the Ming army seized the important town of Xinjie and successfully cleared all frontier obstacles in Dazhai, Jiangtou City, they are ready to launch a general attack!

On February [-], the Ming army marched in two ways from the land along the river bank.

Haijiao led the main force of the navy down the river to attack the Burmese navy from the water, attacking Jiangtou City in three directions.

The Ayeyarwady River is about seven or eight miles wide at its widest point in this area, and the width of the rest of the area also varies from four to six miles. There is also a large impact plain in the middle of the river.

Jiangtou City was built on the plains and on both sides of the river. The huge wooden fence walls on the left and right banks extended into the river, connecting with the wooden fence camps on the Jiangxin Plain, and there were wooden gates at the links.

The Taungoo army parked warships in the plains and the waters vacated by the river bank, and these wooden doors were built for the entry and exit of warships.

There are a large number of garrison defenses on the Jiangxin Plain. If you attack the wooden fence in the middle of the river, you will be flanked by artillery fire from the wooden fence on the left and right river banks.

The perimeter of Jiangtou City's fortifications is about five miles, basically blocking the main road leading to Awa City, the capital of Myanmar, by land and water.

Once the Ming army took Jiangtou City, Awa City basically did not have any water barriers to rely on.

Therefore, the best wooden fence fortifications and the best materials of the Dongyu Army were used here, and the coach Mao Deyuan even vowed to defend Jiangtou City to the death!
The Ming army first attacked the Toungoo Army Mucha on land from the southeast, and the battle quickly started
The Toungoo army was defeated before and their morale was weak. They adopted the tactics of strictly guarding against death and exhausting the Ming army.

Li Dingguo ordered the Dragon Banner Army snipers to keep an eye on the soldiers in the Muzhai of the Dongyu Army, and kill them immediately as long as they dare to show their heads.

Liu Wenxiu took the order and immediately led five hundred snipers, and quietly approached the wooden fence under the cover of grass.

"fire"

Then the artillerymen under the Longqi Army and Mu Tianbo shelled the wooden fence of the Burmese army.

More than 1000 mortars fired together, and the shells flew parabolicly towards the Burmese army like raindrops.

"Rumble..."

"Boom bang bang..."

The overwhelming mortar shells exploded around the wooden fence. The main force of the Toungyu army inside the wooden fence did not expect that the Ming army's shells could still hit like this, and they were frightened and fled in all directions with heavy casualties.

One thousand mortars, coupled with the extremely fast loading speed, although they could not blow up the wooden fence, they did great damage to the Toungoo Army.

Their artillery targets were too large and were almost completely wiped out by Ming mortars.

Seeing that the wooden fence was shaken by the blast, but it never fell down, Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo immediately sent an order after discussing:
"Bundle ten grenades together and place one at a distance of five meters. I don't believe that the wooden fence cannot be blown up."

"Yes"

Two thousand Ming soldiers rushed to the wooden fence with grenades on their backs.

"Don't mess around, those who escaped will be executed on the spot..."

Under the slashing and killing by the supervising team, the Toungoo army gradually calmed down, and began to approach the wooden fence and shoot at the Ming army's assault troops.

"Mortar, keep bombarding!"

Seeing the Taungoo army shooting the assault troops, the Ming army immediately bombarded them with mortars.

"Rumble..."

The main force of the Taungoo Army still encountered such a fierce shelling this time, and the bombed stumps flew around and flowed into rivers of blood.

Part of the Burmese army that escaped the mortar bombardment was still shooting at the Ming army's charging soldiers.

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire, and the snipers of the Longqi Special Forces killed them through the gaps in the wooden fence.

Soon the assault troops ran under the wooden fence, and bundles of grenades were pulled apart.

"Rumble..."

Then there were bursts of violent explosions. Not only did the wooden fence fail to block the explosion of bundles of grenades, but the wooden fence more than 50 meters away was shattered, and the Toungyu army hiding inside also flew into the sky.

In this way, the Ming army easily broke through two wooden fences in a row, leaving only the last and strongest wooden fence.

Mao Deyuan, who personally supervised the battle, was in a hurry, and immediately ordered the Toungoo army on the west bank to open the wooden gate on the land, and rushed out to attack the Ming army.

The Ming army has never met an opponent with this method of warfare, and they are completely suicidal.

The Dongyu Army rushed out aggressively, intending to sneak attack from the side.

"Kakkaka..."

Seeing the Dongyu army coming out, the Daming guns and rifles immediately began to shoot.

The Dongyu army had never seen such a fierce firearm before, hundreds of people were killed in an instant, and those who survived hurried back into the village.

The Dongyu soldiers who had suffered a great loss were almost scared to pee, so they could only stick to their positions and dare not rush out again.

At the same time, the warships of the Dongyu Army in Dazhai in Jiangxin took the opportunity to rush out and attack the Ming army's middle navy.

The guns on the Toungoo military ship fired rapidly, and the warships of both sides started another artillery battle.

But soon they realized something was wrong, Mu Tianbo on the east bank ordered the artillery battalion to turn around and attack the warships of the Dongyu army on the river.

Hundreds of mortars fired in unison, and the parabola formed by the shells collectively hit the warships of the Burmese army like falling meteors.

The mortars on the small warships led by Haijiao were also constantly bombarding the Taungoo warships.

The Dongxu soldiers paddling were blown up one after another, and almost all those who did not jump out of the boat to escape were also killed.

But after the ship, it was difficult to escape the killing of the Ming army officers and soldiers with rifled guns.

The Dongyu army was caught off guard and lost most of the warships. The remnants retreated into the wooden fence and fought back with the Ming army with flintlock guns.

However, the range of the flintlock guns could not hit the Ming army at all, and instead they were bombarded by mortars.

Until the evening, the front of the Burmese army camp was still full of artillery fire, and the sound of the guns was uninterrupted like the firecrackers of the New Year.

Neither the Ming army's mortars nor the rifled guns can compete with the Burmese army.

Many Toungyu soldiers were terrified, and they could endure the artillery battle, but if this style of fighting continued, it was not clear how many such powerful artillery the Ming army still had.

In desperation, the Burmese army decided to use elephant soldiers to attack the Ming army, but they hadn't finished understanding the elephant soldiers, and the Ming army suddenly launched shelling from three directions.

Explosions came out one after another, and the flames in the Burmese army camp splattered, igniting the surrounding tents and fodder for horses and elephants.

The horses and elephants were frightened and frantic. After breaking free from the ropes, they ran desperately, killing and trampling countless Burmese soldiers!

Countless Burmese soldiers died in this never-before-seen bombing before they could react.

The wooden fence was full of broken limbs and arms, blood was flowing, and there was a disgusting smell, which was horrible.

The Burmese army camp was blown up into a pot of porridge, and it was still exploding one after another. The tens of thousands of Burmese army's main force were all messed up, and even the sect soldiers scattered around were all sluggish.

Some tribal soldiers even knelt on the ground, clasped their hands and prayed devoutly!

Mao Deyuan's headache was splitting. At this time, the Burmese army camp was like a sea of ​​flames. There were many casualties. Even the fleeing soldiers became remnants and were not under command.

What's more, they were frightened, and there were very few soldiers who were really sober and able to fight.

The wooden camp gate of the Burmese army, which was already in danger, has long since disappeared under the bombing of mortars and grenades.

A dozen huge gaps were blown out of the wooden fence, and Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo gave an order:
"kill"

The Ming army immediately rushed in like a tide.

It was too late for Dongyu to form an army, and he was immediately beaten all over by the Ming army, and the camp of Dongyu army was completely messed up!
