Chapter 509 The Battle of New Street
Xinjie is located at the confluence of the Daying River and the Ayeyarwady River. It is also the central hub of northern Myanmar. Its strategic position is very important. Therefore, Myanmar deployed heavy troops to garrison here. When the Fuhan Army mobilized its troops, Myanmar also strengthened in Xinjie. Now there are about [-] Burmese troops.

As the general of the Burmese army stationed in Xinjie, Nuo Yaji, he was born in the Burmese, and he is now the confidant and favorite general of Dongyu King Daningen, so he is also the guarding general of Burma in Mengyang, and he is more or less wary of Ning Chu The meaning of the army's attack is that for Nuo Yaji, he really doesn't want to fight, let alone fight with this behemoth in the east.

For the current Taungoo Dynasty, the authority of the central government is constantly weakening, the local power faction is gradually growing, and the contradictions between the Mon, Shan and Bamar are also expanding. Therefore, at this time, they are fighting against a powerful enemy in the east. Almost suicidal.

Of course, Nuo Yaji naturally knew about the border disputes last year. However, the real behind-the-scenes of these incidents is not the royal family, but the local chieftains of Mengyang and Mubang. Xiyin made the Toungoo royal family the target of the first attack by the Fuhan army.

It has to be said that their idea was indeed realized, but Ning Chu didn't mind being treated like a knife, because there was no essential difference between killing King Toungoo first, and then killing the powerful Mon and Shan factions in these places .

"Boom--"

When the artillery of the Fuhan army sounded from the direction of Tiebiguan, Nuo Yaji's heart sank, knowing that the Fuhan army had come, he walked out of the mansion immediately, looking at the thick smoke in the distance, he was already a little confused with his side The camp, could not help but sigh deeply.

The war that broke out in front of us can be said to be worse for the current Toungoo Dynasty. If the war cannot be ended quickly, it may directly destroy the current Toungoo Dynasty.

"General, there are many of them, with many muskets and cannons in their hands, and they are already coming towards us, we can't stop them."

A Burmese officer covered in blood came trotting over. He looked at No Yaji and urged, "General, give the order quickly, or the army will be completely unable to hold you back if it's too late."

Nuo Yaji nodded, and then began to give orders. After receiving the order, a number of Burmese army messengers strode out of the mansion. They will take Nuo Yaji's order and try to bring the Burmese, which is currently gradually collapsing, to an end. Bing, to retwist into a tight rope.

It's just that after everyone left, Nuo Yaji's face flickered, but he led people away from Xinjie and headed towards Laoguantun.

The direction of Xinjie is very important, but the big camp in Laoguantun is even more important. All the grain and grass of the Burmese army are stored in Laoguantun. Once it is captured by the Fuhan army, it will be a more terrifying thing than the loss of Xinjie.

Today's Fuhan army is on an expedition, the real most terrible thing has never been the enemy, but the key logistics issue, which will really determine where the Fuhan army can fight.

At present, Ning Chu has a total of 3000 formal troops in the southwest, and in order to provide these troops with sufficient food and ammunition supplies, more than 10 horses, donkeys and cattle have been requisitioned, and as many as [-] civilians have been requisitioned. It is a giant of ten thousand people, and this is also the result of Ning Chu's hard work in Yunnan for a year, and the painstaking efforts consumed are incalculable.

That is to say, if the Fuhan army cannot defeat Burma with 5 people, then there is no way to mobilize more troops, because the logistics supply will not be able to keep up, unless Ningchu can develop the local economic level of Yunnan to a certain level scale, in order to try to provide stronger logistical support capabilities.

Deng Sanjin carried a gun on his shoulders, and pulled a mule behind him. He stepped on the dirt and headed towards Xinjie. He was not the first wave of Fuhan soldiers who attacked Xinjie. He was only responsible for sending ammunition to the forward positions. It's just that for him, this is not such a happy thing.

After all, after becoming a soldier, especially after becoming a soldier of the Fuhan Army, what I think in my heart is to make contributions and earn some military merits for myself and my family, so that I will not disappoint myself. It is a great fortune to have the opportunity to enter the Army Military Academy.

And Deng Sanjin is not in any danger on the surface now, but he is destined not to be credited, and these past fantasies have naturally come to naught.However, he couldn't change anything. After all, his performance in the new barracks was not good enough, so the superior assigned him to the logistics force.

"Three golds, look!"

When Deng Sanjin was thinking about his future with his head down, he heard a call from afar, and he couldn't help but look up, only to see a young second lieutenant of the Fuhan Army riding a horse proudly, and behind the horse, However, dozens of Burmese soldiers in ragged clothes were walking forward with their hands tied, and several soldiers of the Fuhan Army were also following.

The young second lieutenant rode up to Deng Sanjin, but he smiled, "What's the matter, have you started transporting ammunition? Do it well, after all, this job can't kill anyone, hahahahahaha"

Deng Sanjin's complexion changed, but he said in an indifferent way: "Hmph, you bastard, have you made a great contribution this time?"

"That is, you don't know, these Burmese troops are not even as good as the green battalion. I lead a charge, and they panic."

The young second lieutenant groaned, and said: "Don't look at the lively fighting on the front line. There is no casualty on our side. It seems that one unlucky guy sprained his foot. As for the Burmese army, they have been defeated several times. It's time."

When Deng Sanjin heard the second lieutenant's words, his heart was even more sour, but he didn't speak any more, just quietly pulled the mule and walked forward with deep kicks and shallow kicks.

However, the second lieutenant continued to be complacent: "I heard that anyone who has made great contributions this time will be given the fertile land in Myanmar. For a contribution like mine, I barely have [-] acres. I didn't have to pay a single tax for the first three years. !"

Deng Sanjin was a little puzzled when he heard this, and said: "Although the land can be divided into [-] mu, what's so good about the land here? It's good to have the land from my hometown? If it were me, I would still want the land at home more!"

"You know shit!"

A hint of disdain appeared on the second lieutenant's face, and then he explained: "The cabinet has already issued information together with the Privy Council. Myanmar is not a desolate place. For example, the Irrawaddy River Delta is an unimaginably fertile place, even compared with the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River. It’s not bad, and at least [-] million mu of land can be opened up here, as long as we occupy this place, a few hundred mu of land is nothing more than a trivial matter.”

Deng Sanjin was a little stunned, ten million mu of land?How big a number is this?
But before Deng Sanjin asked, the second lieutenant took the initiative to say: "I don't know exactly how big [-] mu is, but I understand that no matter how big the area is, we have to win it. , this field will naturally exist.”

Deng Sanjin was encouraged by the second lieutenant's words. He clenched his fists and murmured: "Yes, as long as we win the battle and have everything, I will stop transporting ammunition. I will go to the front line, and I will go to the battle!"

The second lieutenant smiled, but stopped talking. Seeing Deng Sanjin's fighting spirit being gradually ignited, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Just when the two were parting, the Fuhan army on the front line of Xinjie, holding muskets and bayonets in their hands, had already launched an attack on the Burmese army in Xinjie. The offensive like waves wiped out the Burmese army in Xinjie More than [-] people were killed, while the other [-] people headed towards Laoguantun, where the Burmese army camp was located.

With the battle going smoothly, the two divisions of the Fuhan army attacking Xinjie also began to approach Laoguantun, preparing to fight the remaining [-] Burmese troops in Laoguantun. The three divisions of the Fuhan Army under the leadership of Cheng Ming used the Dajinsha River to advance by land and water, and took Mushu and Awa directly. As for Wanding, they left a regiment of troops as a follow-up containment.

Due to the turbulent waters of the Jinsha River, and the fact that the Daying River, a tributary in Yunnan, cannot be sailed by boats and can only be navigated near Manmu, the Fu-Han Army went to the upper reaches of Manmu to build warships at Bison Dam before the war started. With unremitting preparations, there are more than [-] small warships, which are enough for the soldiers of the Fuhan Army.

Therefore, Cheng Ming ordered Xu Mingyuan to lead a division to set off from Buniuba on a warship, and then set up a camp at the intersection of the two rivers, thus driving a deep nail in the center of the Burmese army, effectively curbing the Burmese army from the direction of Hakan on the west bank. With the support provided by Laoguantun, Laoguantun was completely isolated and helpless.

When the two divisions of the Fuhan Army and the [-] Burmese Army of Laoguantun started a big battle, Mang Gulong, the Hakan guard stationed on the west bank of the Jinsha River, was a little restless at this time. Gu Long understood that once the Fuhan army wiped out Nuo Yaji in Laoguantun, the next step would be to attack Hakan. At that time, he would be unable to protect himself under the siege of the army.

Mang Gulong knew very well that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to the Burmese army. The sound of the rumbling artillery from the other side of the river could explain some problems, that is, the firepower advantage of the Fuhan army would greatly surpass that of the Burmese army, which also meant that It means that on the frontal battlefield, there is no chance.

"Come here, send the navy to control the Jinsha River. If you encounter the enemy's navy, try to destroy the enemy's ships. Then I will personally lead the army to support Xinjie. You must not let Nuo Yaji die like this! "

After thinking about it, Mang Gulong came up with a solution that was not a solution, that is to directly block the Jinsha River with water masters, which might still have some effect.

The size of the Burmese navy is not very large. There are only thirty or so warships, and the tonnage is very small. It's enough.

Thirty warships were rushing towards the Fuhan Army warships under the gushing river. A Burmese navy general held a binoculars in his hand and looked at the Fuhan Army warships approaching in the distance, somewhat surprised. Because no matter from the appearance of the opposite warship, it is very different from today's warship.

In fact, as far as the Burmese Metropolitan Government is concerned, it is naturally impossible for them to build a real water army. Therefore, the warships built on the bison dam are not the kind of well-regulated ships. First of all, they completely cancel the Cannons, and then rockets were moved to the ship as the main weapon to defeat the enemy, but usually covered with cloth, so people who don't understand naturally can't understand the power of this ship.

"Kill!"

As the Burmese army ships got closer, the Burmese soldiers on it became more and more emotional. They waved their long knives and prepared to fire a round of salvo after approaching, smashing the strange warships on the opposite side to pieces.
At this moment, a ray of light flickered from the Fuhan army fleet, and the light began to shine brighter. After the light, small black spots fell from the sky and landed in this water area.

"Boom--"

There was a violent explosion, but the Burmese army warship began to tremble amidst the explosion, and then black spots continued to fall on the ship, directly tearing up and sinking the ship, and the Burmese soldiers fell into the water and struggled continuously. engulfed by the current caused by the sinking ship
The warships of the Burmese army were hit by the rockets of the Fuhan army, but they had no chance to fire at all. Only the few remaining warships fired, but the solid shells fell hundreds of meters away from the Fuhan army ships. There, bursts of water splashed.

The warships of the Fuhan army seemed to be very familiar with this scene. They were not half curious about the results of the battle they had caused. Instead, they took advantage of the chaos of the warships of the Burmese army to attack decisively. The warships were like arrows leaving the string Like a branch, they poured into the vicinity of the Burmese warships. They shouted loudly in Burmese, demanding that the remaining Burmese warships surrender.

However, after several warships expressed their opposition with actual actions, the warships of the Fuhan Army fired rockets decisively. At such a short distance, almost only a few rockets were used to send the Burmese army warships into the On the bottom of the sea, the remaining ships did not dare to do anything else, and directly raised the white flag, expressing the meaning of surrender.

The naval battles on the Jinsha River did not last as long as usual, because in the past naval battles, the shells fired by both sides were not very accurate and powerful, so the entanglement often lasted too long, but Today's Fuhan army is not ordinary. The appearance of rockets directly ended all possibilities of water warfare.

Mang Gulong, who had been watching the battle from the shore, opened his mouth wide open. He still hasn't figured out what weapons are on the ships of the Fuhan Army, but he felt a chill in his heart. If the Fuhan Army is as powerful as this, then his army Even if there were more, it would be suicidal.

It's just that it is impossible for Mang Gulong to terminate the plan now, because with the continuous joining of armies from both sides, the scale of the battle around Laoguantun has become larger and larger, and it has become a decisive battle between the Fuhan army and the Burmese army. .
