Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The Siamese Army around the 21st year of Huaxia Wucheng was a half-arms standing army set up to imitate the Xia Army's Army Division and Infantry Army. Two musket centurions, one artillery centurion, four cold weapon centurions, two husband service centurions, messengers, bannermen, monks, medical craftsmen, artisans, mahouts and other auxiliary units directly under the military government—from the establishment Looking at it from the outside, a military mansion in Siam has about 1000 muskets and three field guns of different calibers, and the firearm equipment rate is close to 250%. Therefore, in terms of superficial combat effectiveness, it is very powerful in the entire south-central region. .

According to the information obtained by Wu Dunsheng so far, in order to "one-off" defeat the blocking of the Burmese army, this time Siam dispatched 47 of all 35 military mansions.

Compared with the strong strength of the Siamese, the Burmese army in Wu Dunsheng's hands is somewhat inadequate-except for the superiority in numbers and the roughly equal number of artillery pieces, it is far inferior to the well-trained Siamese in other aspects-fortunately, Wu Dunsheng also He can be regarded as a capable veteran general. He took over the [-] troops for only a few months. While building a large number of border forts, he roughly trained a group of timid farmers into soldiers who could go to the battlefield.Just relying on this alone is not enough to resist the vicious enemy. Therefore, Wu Dunsheng drew up a delaying strategy based on defensive warfare.

It should be said that Wu Dunsheng's strategy is clever. The Siamese came from the mountains and the pressure on food transportation was huge. Therefore, a quick battle is their best choice. The vigor will gradually be exhausted, and the huge material consumption will also drag down the Siamese economy.

The Siamese also knew this, so they stormed the Burmese army's fortress from the very beginning.It’s just that the side that attacked the city had to pay more than the side that defended the city, and when the number and power of artillery possessed by the two armies were roughly equal, the Burmese army with more troops obviously had the upper hand.

"Your Majesty, if this goes on like this, the blood of the Siamese will be shed before Moulmein is hit." After more than ten days of fierce fighting, more than 3000 camps and forts on the Burmese side were captured with more than [-] casualties. , However, the entire Siamese army still stopped in the Gaojiali area and made an inch, which made the Siamese side anxious. "It can't go on any longer."

Ayutthaya Dynasty No. 20 Ninth-generation King Tessa sat there silently for a long time, until the generals below started clamoring again. He opened his mouth slowly and said, "Can we bypass the Burmese camp and enter Mao Thamian without fighting?"

"China is also participating in this war, so it doesn't necessarily mean that our country is going all out here, and the Han people can sit back and reap the rewards." A Chao Phraya said. "We can send people to urge Huaxia to send troops as soon as possible to force the enemy in front of us to retreat."

"How do you know that Huaxia didn't send troops?" King Tessa shook his head. "Besides, this is a counterattack launched by Siam. Just thinking about relying on China to win the war, what qualifications does Siam have to benefit from China in the future." King Tessa stood up, walked to the door of the imperial tent and pointed The enemy camp said. "If you can't personally defeat the enemy in front of you, it is absolutely impossible for Huaxia to hand over the Upper Tanasarim area to Siam, and then Siam will once again lose hope of obtaining Haikou." [

The core of the prmtrloknth system implemented in Siam is that rank status is linked to land. Therefore, for ordinary nobles, it is the only way to obtain military merits, titles, and rewards to obtain land. As far as the king on the throne is concerned, he will know the importance of a trading port in his own hands. King Tessa only realized it after he surrendered the port of Ayutthaya.

A group of Siamese generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say, but obviously, what the king said was right, getting something for nothing could only make Huaxia despise Siam, and thus hand over the benefits that Siam deserved to others.

Another aristocrat with the title Luan made a suggestion after deliberation: "Then let's ask the Burmese to make a date."

"Are the Siamese unable to hold back?" Wu Dunsheng pondered while clutching the book of war. In the previous battle, the Burmese lost about 6000 people. As far as the known strength is concerned, the Burmese army is almost three times that of the Siamese. Times, is the strength to carry out a field battle. "Promise them?" Of course, the key is not that they have an absolute advantage in military strength, but that the situation in "Maolamian" is not optimistic. You must know that according to Wu Kebai's report, the Xia Army Navy's giant ships have been haunting "Mao" Off the coast of Tammyen, once the Xia army goes into battle and "Mao" Tammyen loses, Wu Dunsheng's side is not just a problem of cutting off the food road. "Despite the loss, drive the Siamese back to Ta Nin Ta Weng Mountain, and then return to the teacher to ensure the safety of "Mawlamyine?" Wu Dunsheng hesitated. "What if it fails?"

Wu Dunsheng, who was worried about gains and losses, could not make a decision in a short time. As a result, the Siam-Myanmar war fell into a strange state of stagnation.

Just when Wu Dunsheng was weighing again and again, Xia Jun, who had been on the sidelines before, finally showed his ferocious face.

On the sixth day of November in the 21st year of Wucheng, the Ninth Division of the Longxiang Army, with the assistance of the Shence Army of the seven regiments, landed in the area west of the Salween River north of Birujun Island, and then captured Zhitong, Yinnian, The Bangzhen area also entered the Madaban City on the opposite bank of the "Mawlamyine", thus blocking more than [-] Burmese soldiers including Wu Dunsheng and Wu Kebai on the east bank of the Salween (Nu) River.

Since there is only a small amount of impact plain on the east bank of the Salween River, the food produced is not enough for more than [-] troops. In addition, the Burmese southern army has entered the Garobi area adjacent to Jikanmei and Nibo Road. 』North-south pincers formed around Tammyin. Wu Dunsheng, who was unable to withdraw safely under the eyes of the Siamese, had no choice but to agree to a decisive battle with the Siamese army.

On November [-], Wu Dunsheng's troops retreated slowly to the Jiongduo area, which was more open and more suitable for large corps operations.

Two days later, the Siamese army commanded by King Tessa also cautiously arrived in the Jiongdo area.It's just that the Siamese were just about to set up camps, and the Burmese army, led by Wu Dunsheng, took the initiative to attack.

In this battle, the Burmese still used the old routine. After a round of cannon fire, more than a hundred war elephants took the lead, and tens of thousands of people rushed up to try to tear their opponents apart in one fell swoop.Facing the enemy army covering the sky and fields, the Siamese did not back down.Thousands of men and women who were building the camp carried the materials for the camp to the front of the camp under the artillery fire of the Burmese, and thus hastily built several fences and artillery firing positions.Immediately, the artillery of the Siamese army roared.

Although in order to deal with the huge sound waves when the firearms were fired, the Burmese war elephants had pierced their eardrums and would not affect the charge, but the Siamese guns still caused some damage to the elephant team.Elephants are extremely sensitive animals. Although they cannot hear the wailing of their companions, they still know what happened when they see the painful movements of their companions. Therefore, no matter how hard the mahouts drive them away, most of the war elephants turn around and run away. up.

Destroying the Burmese army's battle elephants, the infantry on both sides collided quickly.The musketeers of the Siamese army shot and killed the Burmese warriors who rushed forward as much as possible. When the Burmese who had survived three rounds of shooting rushed to the front of the Siamese white soldiers, most of the bravest among them had already fallen. On the road of charge.

Without the leadership of those professional samurai, the ex-farmers exposed their inferior qualities. Therefore, although there were a large number of them, they were beaten back steadily. It will not disintegrate—however, if the fight continues like this, the Siamese army with a small number will sooner or later be crushed by the Burmese army like a colony of ants.

When Wu Dunsheng was proud of this and King Tessa was anxious about it, there was an earth-shattering explosion on the battlefield. It turned out that an artillery position of the Siamese army was captured by the Burmese army, but somehow, the Burmese army ignited the gunpowder. ’, and the result was that the bones remained in the explosion.Speaking of which, the fall of the artillery position and the destruction of several artillery pieces should have caused the Siamese to be demoralized, but a shocking scene appeared. Those Burmese soldiers who were ordinary farmers not long ago were shocked by the tragic scene and panicked. He turned around and fled in a panic, which led to the total collapse of the Burmese army. [

Wu Dunsheng, who discovered this scene, growled in pain: "Buddha! Are you going to abandon your faithful believer?"

Unwilling to admit defeat, Wu Dunsheng quickly ordered: "Come here, stop these cowards and let them go back to fight."

It’s just that the army was defeated like a mountain, and Wu Dunsheng’s personal soldiers couldn’t stop the Burmese army who were scrambling for their lives. They could only cover Wu Dunsheng’s withdrawal from the battlefield after returning from victory: "Send the general back to Mao Llamyine quickly."

"Victory, victory." King Tessa was overjoyed by the sudden turn of the situation. "Chasing, chasing down"

The battle of Jiongduo ended in this way, and the Siamese won the first victory against Burma in many years, and less than one-fifth of the [-] Burmese troops were able to escape into the city of Moulmein alive.

"It's over, everything is over." Wu Dunsheng, who was snatched from the pile of dead by the guards around him with blood on his face, lamented, looking at Wu Kebai who came to greet him. "I bear the great trust of the king, and I am a sinner in Burma."

"My lord, there is no need to be like this," Wu Kebai persuaded. "We still have the town of 'Mao' Tammy."

Wu Dunsheng shook his head: "With internal food and external reinforcements, how long can the mere city of Mawlamyine last?"

"But I see the Xia armies in the north and south are limited in number." Wu Kebai was still lucky. "The number of Siamese soldiers is only [-] more. The sum of the two is only the same as the number of our army today. Although the soldiers are newly defeated and their morale is low, they can't fight in the field. It is still possible to stick to the fortified city. Food, hold on for two months, maybe there will be reinforcements."

"Reinforcements?" Wu Dunsheng smiled wryly. "It's okay not to come to the reinforcements. If the capital urgently dispatches reinforcements, Myanmar will be completely finished." Wu Kebai is also a soldier who knows the soldiers. He immediately came to his senses when he was mentioned by Wu Dunsheng. To understand the mood, to assume the responsibility of being a general. "But you are right, 'Mawlamyine' must stick to it. Only in this way can we share the pressure of the capital and strive for the best conditions for Myanmar in the next negotiations."
