Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 787 Siege of Ava
There was a lot of killing around, Mao Deyuan saw that the situation was over, and his whole body became haggard in an instant.

run away!Nowhere to escape?Fleeing back to Ava City can only be a dead end!
Surrender!He didn't think about it at all, this guy was also a loyal minister to the Toungoo Dynasty.

Looking at the large group of Ming troops approaching menacingly, he was not afraid.

Mao Deyuan took a deep breath, and shouted at the only remaining soldiers around him:

"Brothers, it's time to serve the Toungoo Dynasty! Follow me to kill the enemy! Kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one!"

Holding a long knife, he turned over and straddled his horse to charge towards the Ming army.

As for whether the soldiers behind him kept up, he didn't care anymore, they would all die anyway.

Seeing a general in the Ming army in front of him, Mao Deyuan roared and urged his horse to charge up, ready to kill the Ming army leader with all his might.

General Ming waved his hands to let the soldiers disperse, and he was going to fight the leader of the Burmese Army single-handedly.

But he didn't draw the knife, he just raised his left hand slightly, and in his hand was a revolver.

"boom……"

Mao Deyuan, the number one general in Burma and the general who protects the country, just raised his sword, and was shot and killed by the Ming general on the spot!

This bright general is Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Banner Army.

In fact, with Li Dingguo's ability, even with cold weapons, Mao Deyuan has no chance of winning.

Li Dingguo originally liked spears, bows and arrows, but after seeing that Liu Wenxiu was completely invincible with a flintlock, he decisively chose to use firearms.

Raising the hand and pulling the trigger can easily kill the opponent. This method is simple, crude and efficient. Of course, Li Dingguo threw away the cold weapon without hesitation.

After killing General Dongyu, Li Dingguo blew the smoke from his gun, and glanced at the Burmese general disdainfully:
"Ignorant people, what age is it, and they are still wielding knives and guns!"

The fighting in the Burmese army camp was not fierce. The Ming army was chasing and killing Burmese soldiers, and the city was already in chaos.

Under the siege and interception of the Ming army, the Burmese army had nowhere to escape. From time to time, some people knelt down and begged for mercy, not daring to resist.

……

After the battle in Jiangtou City, Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo divided his troops into three groups again, starting from Jiangtou City, and marching towards Awa, the capital of Burma!
The road from Yunnan to Myanmar is rough and difficult, and there are many jungles, making it difficult to travel along the way.

The road from Jiangtou City to Awa is a plain with pleasant scenery.

The news of the defeat on the front line came, and the whole city of Ava was blown up.

I thought it would be difficult for the Ming army to break through the barrier of the virgin forest, but I didn't expect to destroy Jiangtou City so quickly.

The King of Myanmar immediately began to mobilize various armies to defend against the Ming army's attack on Toungoodu Awa.

After receiving the strict order, the soldiers of the Burmese army immediately stopped their production and labor, went to the designated place to report, and prepared to go out to stop the Ming army.

These portal soldiers traveled all the way, with bedding, ammunition, and pots hanging on one end of their weapons, and rice, salt, and shrimp paste on the other end.

In this way, the soldiers of the Burmese army did not use vehicles or tents. They wore daily clothes and wrapped their heads with red cloth strips as soldiers' marks, and set off to where they wanted to go.

When camping, they rest on the spot, and cook separately after waking up. Individuals are the logistics, without the burden of logistics at all.

The Burmese army's seemingly disregard for the safety of grassroots soldiers has increased the mobility of the army.

Such an army is most suitable for fighting in the terrain of Myanmar. Unfortunately, the Ming army and equipment they faced this time were all they had never encountered before.

They hadn't even heard of it. How did they know that the Ming army's equipment is definitely the most powerful army of that era, not one of them.

Along the way, the tiger and wolf division of the Ming army was invincible, and they easily defeated the chieftain soldiers who came to support them one by one.

Sometimes only a team of dozens of troops was dispatched to easily defeat a thousand-strong Burmese army.

In addition to the gate soldiers, some primitive tribesmen were recruited by the Burmese king to join the war.

These people have thick lips, the Burmese army called them cannon fodder, and the Ming army called them savages.

The savage's way is very wild, he fights bravely, and rushes up with a stick. He is not afraid of the Ming army at all, and he has the professionalism of being cannon fodder.

Unfortunately, cannon fodder is always cannon fodder, and the Ming army unceremoniously turned them into real cannon fodder!

King Talong was angry and frightened, and Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo were also irritated by them.

Since the Toungoo Dynasty didn't know what was good or bad, he decided to use violence to control violence and subdue them!

So Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo sent an order to the whole army:

"Don't take prisoners, all enemies encountered on the way forward will be killed! If there are chieftains who resist, slaughter their tribe!"

The Tactics of the Burmese soldiers are very fixed. Whether they are cavalry or infantry, they all like to throw throwing weapons such as javelins and darts, and run away after throwing.

Then let the musketeers follow up and shoot. The gate soldiers are not qualified to let the elephant soldiers play forward, and only have a simple formation to respond to the enemy.

But the mortar rifles of the Ming army were beyond their imagination at all.

After several rounds of alternate shooting, the Burmese soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and they were defeated immediately.

They have no armor and run very fast. If they are placed in later generations, it is estimated that Bolt will not run as fast as them.

Countries in the Indochina Peninsula have not produced armor since ancient times. They generally use rattan armor, which is just a simple helmet, shoulder pads and joint protection.

With the gradual popularization of firearms, rattan armor has lost its effectiveness, and the main force of the Burmese army has almost no armor, let alone the door soldiers.

Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo ordered the cavalry to pursue and kill them all.

The end of the guard soldiers was very tragic. No matter how fast they ran, it was impossible for them to run over the four-legged horses. Under the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, the entire army was wiped out.

In the next few days, the reputation of the Ming army's bloodthirsty spread far and wide, and the resistance they encountered obviously decreased.

On the 20th day of February in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, the Ming army ran into an ambush Burmese army on the way, and it turned out to be the Royal Guards.

Myanmar's military structure is in the nature of a loose military alliance. The King of Myanmar's elite troops are within the national capital. Only the strength of the Imperial Guard can maintain the power of the King of Myanmar.

Therefore, the royal guard is the most effective army in the Burmese army!

However, the strong army of Burma is nothing more than a small witch in front of the Ming army.

Mortars, rifled guns, grenades, and tiger squat guns burst out, and they immediately scattered and fled.

Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo defeated the ambushes easily, and took a few prisoners on purpose.

The Ming army interrogated the captives and learned that the king of Burma sent out all the ten thousand imperial guards.

Now there are almost no soldiers in East Awan, only a king's guard to protect the palace!

Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo were overjoyed upon hearing the news, and continued to urge the army to speed up.

Half a day later, the Ming army arrived at a place thirty miles outside Ava City.

As a result, the vanguard of the Ming army collided with a guard army again, and the two armies continued to strangle together.

The result of the battle soon turned out to be one-sided, and the imperial guards were defeated by the Ming army.

Many cavalry were shot to death by random guns, and fled back to the camp behind in a panic, turning from offense to defense.

No matter how provocative the Ming army was, the imperial guards still remained motionless. They meant that they had the guts to attack the city! .

On the second day, Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo led a land army to the city of Dongyu.

At this time, the Cape by land and water had already arrived, and launched a siege posture against Ava City.

It happened that there was heavy fog that day, which created excellent conditions for the Ming army to attack the city.

Li Dingguo Mu Tianbo was overjoyed and immediately ordered his troops to attack Ava City.
