Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 790
"Bang bang..."

Under Ma Yun's order, the Ming army began to kill the elephant soldiers on the back of the elephant.

After dozens of elephant soldiers were killed, other elephant soldiers raised the rattan badges on the elephants' backs one after another.

Although the rattan badge cannot directly defend against the shooting of the Minie bullets, it can also protect the soldiers to a certain extent, at least it is difficult to directly hit their vital parts.

The distance of more than 100 meters was quickly reached under the rapid impact of the elephants. The elephant soldiers raised their swords high and were ready to kill the Ming army at any time.

A thousand elephants rushed up directly, and the battle was palpitating, and the hands of the Ming army who raised their guns began to tremble.

"Bang bang..."

But instead of fleeing immediately, they continued to shoot.

Finally, five elephants were knocked to the ground, and the elephant soldiers on the elephants' backs were instantly trampled into pulp by the elephants.

However, the rapid impact of the elephants could no longer be stopped, and a group of elephants roared and approached the Ming army.

I have to say that the impact of the elephants is really huge. As soon as they approached the battle of the Ming army, dozens of Ming soldiers were knocked into the air by the elephants, and then trampled to death by the elephants.

Those who were not trampled to death by the elephants were also hacked and killed by the elephant soldiers, and the Toungoo Guards who followed the elephants also began to shoot and kill the Ming army.

In the blink of an eye, there will be nearly a hundred casualties. This is the biggest loss the Ming army has suffered in the past two or three years.

"Quick, retreat to the woods ahead..."

Seeing that something was wrong, Mu Tianbo hastily ordered the Ming army forming the battle formation to retreat to the woods, otherwise they would suffer even greater losses.

Anyway, Ava City, the capital of the Toungoo Kingdom, has been besieged now, and the Toungoo Dynasty will last for a few days at most.

Although the Ming army in several battle formations was attacked by elephants, they were not defeated.

After receiving the signal to retreat, they immediately retreated to the woods covering each other.

The woods are covered by big trees, not only can they shoot and kill the elephant soldiers, but also let the big trees protect them.

The Ming army retreated quickly, losing more than 100 men before retreating to the woods.

Seeing how vulnerable the Ming army was, Mangbai burst out laughing triumphantly:
"What kind of bullshit invincible teacher is really vulnerable, let me chase after them and kill them all..."

Mangbai also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and directly led the elephant soldiers into the grove.

But an assistant beside him hurriedly said:

"My lord, you can see that the Ming army is running towards the woods. They obviously want to use the cover of a big tree to kill my Dongyu soldiers. Don't be fooled..."

"boom……"

"puff……"

Suddenly there was a gunshot, and a big blood hole appeared in Mangbai's assistant's head.

The corpse shook a few times on the elephant and "plopped" and fell to the ground.

"I go……"

Mangbai was startled, and hurriedly looked around, only to find that the Ming army had already entered the woods.

"Stop, suspend the attack!"

Although Mangbai was very arrogant, his assistant was suddenly shot dead while talking to him, so he decided to follow his assistant's advice.

"That gun of yours went off? Stand up for me immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of the more than 5000 imperial guards stood up. They all went off fire during the attack on the Ming army, but they did not accidentally hurt their own people.

If it was a person, Mangbai was going to kill him directly, but seeing so many imperial guards standing up, Mangbai had no way to punish him.

He just won the battle, if he punishes so many soldiers now, how can he win the battle in the future!

"Let's all retreat, and immediately surround the forest, Minggou can't let go..."

"boom……"

As soon as Mangbai finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly sounded, and two blood holes appeared in an elephant's head.

The elephant let out two painful hisses and fell to the ground, never moving again.

"What's going on? Where was the shot?"

Mangbai was taken aback, this time he knew very well that his musket had not gone off.

They hurriedly looked around, but there was no sign of the Ming army at all.

The forest was about two hundred steps away from them, and Mangbai didn't believe that the musket had such a long range.

Mangbai only looked at the direction in which Mu Tianbo and the others retreated, not paying attention to the hillsides on both sides.

Weeds were overgrown there, 200 Dragon Banner Army snipers had already ambushed there, and [-] people sneaked into the woods where Mu Tianbo was.

"General, elephants are not invulnerable, let's shoot the elephant's head twice as usual."

"Well, cold weapons don't have much effect on soldiers, but firearms are different. As long as the marksmanship is accurate enough, aim at the elephant's vitals, and the elephant will die. Send the order to aim at the elephant's head. If you are not sure, hit the elephant's front legs. , the front legs were broken to see how the elephant can still run..."

"Yes"

The ones who killed Mangbai's assistant and the elephant just now were Ming's number one gun masters Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng is the sniper Baihu of the Dragon Banner Army. In Liu Wenxiu's absence, the sniper is under his command.

Mu Tianbo was also frightened by the large group of elephant soldiers just now, at this moment he finally remembered that he still had fifty great blunderbusses under his command.

"Hurry up, put the guns on the edge of the woods, and once the elephant soldiers attack, immediately hit the elephant's legs..."

Mu Tianbo originally had 3 people under his command, but at this time they had dispersed and surrounded Ava City.

Now there are only a few thousand people around him, while his opponent has five thousand imperial guards and one thousand elephant soldiers.

Especially the thousand elephant soldiers, which are the largest elephant soldiers in the entire Indochina Peninsula.

With Mu Tianbo's order, fifty big Ming god guns were placed on the edge of the forest, and the soldiers of the Ming army leaned on the big tree and raised their guns to point at the Dongyu elephant soldiers outside.

"Start to cover General Liu and his sneak attack!"

"Bang bang bang..."

"Kakkaka..."

Regardless of whether the Toungoo Army can be hit or not, the Daming Shenchuang and the rifled gun fired out of the woods together.

And Liu Wenxiu and the others took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Toungoo Elephant Soldiers:

"Bang bang bang..."

The Dragon Banner Army's snipers hit the elephant soldiers one by one. Even if they couldn't shoot their heads, the mini-bullets could seriously injure the elephant soldiers.

The rattan badges of the elephant soldiers all blocked the direction of the woods, and had no effect on the shooting of the Dragon Banner Army snipers.

"Puff puff……"

In one round of shooting by [-] snipers, [-] elephant soldiers fell off the elephant's back, and dozens of elephants fell to the ground and died.

At first Mangbai didn't dare to approach the woods, but now seeing the Ming army attacking them, Mangbai became anxious.

Dongyu is in danger, they are the only hope, and they cannot let the Ming army kill them in this way.

Mangbai drew out his saber and pointed at the forest:
"Rush forward and kill them all, there will be a lot of rewards, one hundred taels of silver per head..."

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. This sentence is useful at any time. The Dongyu elephant soldiers and the imperial guards immediately rushed to the woods without their lives.

"Come on! Kill Guangming Dog to defend Toungoo..."

The elephant soldiers urged the elephants to move, the imperial guards followed closely, and the Mangbai army tried their best to kill them.

Mu Tianbo saw it and hurriedly ordered:

"Quick, aim at the elephant's front legs and hit..."

"Bang bang..."

The Daming Gun and the [-] Rifle Gun let go of the elephant soldier, and aimed directly at the elephant's leg and fired together.

The snipers of the Five Hundred Dragon Banner Army aimed specifically at the elephant's head and shot:
"Boom bang bang..."

"Puff puff……"

The elephants in the front row of Toungoo ran very fast, but this time there were big trees blocking the soldiers of the Ming army, so they were not afraid of the elephants' impact at all, they just shot.

Thousands of bullets bombarded the elephants, and the elephants in front of them were either shot in the head in multiple places, or their legs were broken and they fell to the ground.

The elephants rushing up from behind were knocked down by the front ones, and they were bombarded by bullets, so the elephants started to turn around and run backwards.

"Mortar bombardment!"

Seeing the elephant turn around, Mu Tianbo immediately ordered the mortars to chase after the elephant's buttocks...
