Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 791 Annihilation of the Guards

The Ming army suffered casualties in front of it, the most important thing was the consequences of forming an array to meet the enemy.

Without any cover, the formation was easily broken up by the elephant soldiers.

It's different now, you can rely on the woods to shoot and shoot, and the Daming Gun can also be bombarded from a high place.

In addition, snipers from the Dragon Banner Army joined in. All of them are sharpshooters, posing a huge threat to elephants and elephant soldiers.

As long as the commander of the elephant soldiers issued an order, his head would immediately be blown off by the snipers of the Dragon Banner Army.

Soon the front of the formation was filled with elephants with broken front legs, dead elephants and the bodies of elephant soldiers.

Some of the elephants behind were blocked and could not move forward, and some elephants were shot in multiple places and began to panic.

Dozens of elephants turned around and fled after being frightened, and other elephants followed immediately.

"fire……"

As soon as Mu Tianbo gave an order, the light mortars chased after the elephant's buttocks and started bombing.

"Rumble..."

Dozens of slapping guns immediately bombarded the elephant herd.

Those who dare not use mortars in the front are mainly worried that the elephant herd will be stimulated to join the attack on the Ming army.

Now that the elephant herd had turned around and fled, Mu Tianbo didn't have to worry anymore.

Mortar shells quickly ejected from the barrel, some exploded in the herd of elephants, and many exploded after the elephants chased them.

Under the bombardment of mortar shells, the elephant herd became more frightened and accelerated their steps to flee forward. No matter what the elephant soldiers did, it had no effect.

There were [-] Toungoo Royal Guards in front of the elephant herd. They never imagined that they would become ghosts under the giant hooves of elephants.

The elephant can trample two soldiers to death with one kick. The huge impact makes the ivory directly pierce the soldiers' bodies, and the elephant shakes their heads and shakes off their corpses...

How could the Toungoo Imperial Guards have imagined that the elephants would suddenly turn around and run wildly, the four-legged animals would never be able to run with two legs.

As a result, it was too late to dodge and was run over by the elephant directly from among them.

The [-] guards lost more than half of the soldiers due to the trampling and bumping plus the damage caused by the ivory to the soldiers.

The deaths of these soldiers were all caused by their elephant soldiers. The Ming army didn't even fire a single shot, only fired a few shots.

Mangbai saw himself trampling on the soldiers with his own eyes, he had no choice but to send an order to retreat.

More than 300 elephant soldiers were killed or injured, and the others quickly ran away without seeing their shadows, leaving only more than 3000 remnants and defeated generals.

It's too late for Mangbai to leave now, Li Dingguo and the Dragon Banner Army have arrived to support.

After the elephant herd passed by, he immediately ordered the Dragon Banner Army to immediately block the way of the defeated Dongyu remnant army.

"Look, my lord, our escape route has been blocked..."

Military division Mangbai suddenly saw a Ming army appearing on the opposite side, and hurriedly reported to Mangbai.

Under the reminder of the military adviser, Mangbai reacted from the ignorance of failure.

Looking up at the way of retreat, they found that there were about a thousand Ming troops blocking their way back to the city.

Seeing that there were only a thousand people on the other side, Mang Bai was furious:
"Such a small number of people dare to block the king's way, kill the light dog, and rush..."

I still have 3000 people, so I am afraid that a thousand Ming troops will not succeed.

With Mangbai's order, the three thousand Dongyu Imperial Guards rushed to the one thousand Daming Dragon Banner Army to form a battle formation.

This was the first time that the Toungoo Guards led by Mangbai had a frontal battle with the Ming army.

In order to escape for their lives, the [-] imperial guards raised their flintlock guns and charged at the Dragon Banner Army. Their weapons were more advanced than the Japanese.

Li Dingguo didn't even want to use the mortar when he saw the Dongyu imperial guards rushing up, he sneered and ordered:
"Get ready, put them to 150 meters and shoot."

"Yes"

All the Dongyu imperial guards were so angry that they wanted to rely on the elephant soldiers to kill the Nanmen Ming army.

But up to now, they have not had a direct conflict with the Ming army. Instead, they have been severely injured by their own elephant soldiers.

Almost all of this imperial guards were close to Mangbai's army. Under the leadership of Mangbai, they rushed towards the Ming army.

At a distance of nearly [-] units, the Ming army array was found raising their muskets, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Their flintlock guns were previously provided by the British, and they were the strongest in the Indochina Peninsula, with a range of only [-] to [-] paces.

They don't think that the Ming army's firearms are better than theirs. It's a pity they didn't find out how far the Ming army could shoot the elephant soldiers.

"Warriors, rush to the 120th step of the Ming army and start shooting. You must be the first to suppress their firepower."

Mangbai really understands this military, although the distance of 120 steps has not yet entered the range of the flintlock of the Toungoo Guards.

But at that time, at least the Ming army could be suppressed, which would help them to move forward.

But Li Dingguo waved his hand when he saw Dongyu Army enter 50 meters once:
"First row to fire."

"Bang bang bang..."

With Li Dingguo's order, the Five Hundred Dragon Banner Army pulled the trigger on the Dongyu Army.

There are so many people on the opposite side, normally there is no need to aim at all, as long as the direction is generally good.

But the Dragon Banner Army is a one-in-a-million elite, and they can find the target they want to kill as soon as they raise their guns.

A salvo knocked down hundreds of people rushing ahead.

"Second row shooting!"

"Bang bang bang..."

The first row squatted down to load bullets, and the second row of Longqi Army's rifled guns pulled the trigger...

Rifled guns can fire 1 rounds of Minie bullets in one minute, and the sound of two rows of bursts will not stop immediately.

Four consecutive rounds of shooting directly knocked down more than 1000 people from the Chongzai Guards.

"That's a great dog..."

Only then did Mangbai know that there was not only a huge gap in firearms between Toungyu and Da Ming, but also a different level of combat effectiveness in the army.

But you can't sit still:

"Warriors of the Toungoo dynasty, now the safety of Toungoo is in our hands, charge up, as long as we get within the range of our flintlock guns, we can severely damage Minggou, charge!"

Mangbai himself rushed forward with a flintlock gun in his hand. Under his leadership, the morale of the remaining Toungyu Imperial Guards was aroused again, and they followed Mangbai and rushed towards the Dragon Banner Army.

Li Dingguo snorted coldly:
"Let's shoot together!"

The nearly [-] rifled guns of the Dragon Banner Army began to fire again, and ten of the Dragon Banner Army set up five big Mingshen guns and began to shoot wildly.

The five big Mingshen guns fired 28 bullets continuously in one breath, directly smashing the dozen or so Toungoo Imperial Guards rushing to the front into a sieve.

It can be clearly seen that the Minnie bombs bombarded the Toungoo Guards, splashing blood mist on the body, and the bullets directly penetrated their bodies.

Mangbai was also hit in the arm by a bullet, and the bones in his arm were shattered by the mini-bullet.

Not only did the two attacks not cause any losses to the Ming army, but nearly [-] Toungoo Imperial Guards were killed.

Now Mangbai was completely dumbfounded, he covered his injured arm with one hand and was powerless in a daze.

"Go!"Kill the Burmese army...""

At this moment, Mu Tianbo led the Ming army to surround him from behind, and quickly surrounded the Dongyu imperial guards.

The always arrogant Mangbai knew that the situation was over, he slumped on the ground.

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly there was another burst of gunfire, and the outer Toungoo Guards were killed again hundreds of people, and now there are only less than 500 people around Mangbai.

Mangbai said weakly to the Dongyu imperial guards:

"Tungu's power is gone, put down your weapons and surrender!"

"My lord..."

"Leave that commander, and kill all the others."

Before Dongyu Imperial Guard surrendered, Mu Tianbo had already issued a kill order.

The Ming army under his command lost more than 200 people in the first battle just now, how could Duke Qian suffer.
