Chapter 285: Bloody Battle at Taunggyi


Zhang Yibin nodded and said: "We were a little careless.

Now we have sealed the south gate overnight, otherwise it will be too bad to lose Jingzhou."

Qin Yongchun asked: "What should we do with the corpses in the city gate and throw them directly into the moat?

This will deter the people of Tounguu."

Zhang Yibin thought for a while and said: "No, although there is no provision in military discipline, when he came to Taungoo, His Majesty the Emperor said something, we are all human beings, and we are here to spread our advanced cultural methods.

To be buried in peace is to protect life.

With the most basic respect, we can negotiate with the Taungoo people and allow them to drag the body back for burial.”

Qin Yongchun said: "I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to rob the city gate."

Zhang Yibin smiled and said: "So we will seal the door first, and then send people to negotiate."

The Ming army dragged the corpses out of the city gate, and then blocked the south gate with stones.

At dawn, they hung a basket from the city wall, sent a flag commander to drop it in front of the city gate, and lowered the suspension bridge.

Finally, the flag leader took a white flag and led the tongue people towards the Toungu people's camp.

The Dongxu people were confused, but seeing that neither the flag leader nor the tongue man were armed, they naturally knew that they were not hostile.

Then a Taungu man came forward to ask why they were here, and took them to see the commander of the Taungu people.

General Charat of Taungoo was troubled.

He looked at the flag commander angrily and said, "If you want to see me, tell me what you have to say."

The flag commander said: "Our army always has compassion.

For the Donggu soldiers who died last night, please ask the general to send someone to take the bodies back for burial."

Chalat looked at the flag commander seriously, wondering if the Ming army had another conspiracy.

After a long time, he said: "Then the general will send people to lift the body, but you have to lower the suspension bridge."

The flag commander smiled and said: "Of course we will lower the suspension bridge, but the Dongguo people who go to carry the corpses cannot carry weapons, otherwise we will regard them as enemies and annihilate them mercilessly."

Charat smiled and said: "Of course, when are we going to move the body?"

The flag leader said: "I'll just go back to the city wall, and the corpses in the moat should also be moved away.

It's better not to cause epidemics in such weather."

Chatra asked people to move the corpses.

When he saw that the Ming army did not attack the people going to Toungoo, he had an idea and asked people to bring some gunpowder each time to bury them in the city gate hole.

Blow up the city gate and attack the city.

There were about three hundred corpses in total, distributed under the city walls and in the city gates, and some were in the moat.

It took the Toungu people more than an hour to almost move the corpse.

Several Toungu people began to chop at the suspension rope of the suspension bridge.

When they were about to cut off, a Toungu man lit the gunpowder piled in the city gate hole, and then Run back from the suspension bridge quickly.

With an earth-shattering roar, a large hole was blown out of the city gate that the Ming army had just sealed, and several people were injured by flying stones.

Zhang Yibin said angrily: "These Dongxu people are so abominable.

They kindly asked them to clean up the corpses, but they actually did this to us."

At this time, the Toungu people's trebuchets began to fire stone bullets to suppress the Ming army on the city wall.

The Toungu troops swarmed up from the suspension bridge and attacked the city gate.

The Toungu people in the front took long tree trunks and pushed away the stones in the city gate, while those in the back kept shooting arrows into the hole created by the explosion.

The Ming army was attacked by trebuchets and the Donggu people in the city gate.

Zhang Yibin shouted angrily: "Guard the city gate for me, and everyone on the city wall will come down."

He knew that the people from Tounguu could not climb over the high city wall for the time being, but the stones blocking the city gate had almost been cleared away, so he had to guard the city gate.

If the people from Tounguu were to rush in, what would happen?

All gone.

So the two parties started a fierce battle for the city gate area.

The Dongxu people wore rattan armor, which could reduce the damage of bullets to the torso to a certain extent.

They learned the lesson this time and rushed outside as much as possible, giving The companions behind gave way to the passage.

Gradually, the Guards could not change ammunition in time, so Qin Yongchun led the white pole soldiers to attack, and the Guards would change the ammunition and fire blunderbuss in the gaps between the white pole soldiers, or directly use the bayonets of fire blunderbuss to kill the enemy. .

Ming troops were constantly injured and dragged behind for treatment.

Zhang Yibin directed the Ming troops to slowly retreat while fighting, causing the Donggu soldiers to gradually break into the open space inside the city gate.

At this time, Chatra saw the Toungoo people rushing in, so he ordered the trebuchet to stop attacking to avoid accidentally injuring his own people.

Zhang Yibin was so happy that he asked the Guards to climb up the inside of the city wall and shoot at the Taungu people below from above.

But Chatra put all his troops in.

There were too many people in Toungoo.

Although the Ming army killed a large number of Toungoo people, the Toungoo people didn't seem to care about life or death at all.

They screamed and rushed forward, regardless of flying. whistling bullets and shining white-stemmed guns.

Zhang Yibin secretly complained.

He knew that he was still careless.

Out of good intentions, he allowed the Taungu people to take the opportunity to clear the road and cut the slings at the same time.

This was tantamount to inviting the other side to attack, even though the Ming army's weapons were far stronger than those of Taungu. people, but after all, the number was too small and the charging time was too long.

Facing the surging Dongguo, the people were too weak but the strength was insufficient.

It seemed that they could only hold on to the grain depot and wait for reinforcements.

It was almost noon, and the Dongxu people had occupied an area about 200 steps long and 100 steps wide inside the south gate.

Except for the guards on the top of the city, the Ming army was still shooting with firecrackers.

All the soldiers were using white-steel guns or bayonets to kill the Toungoo people.

Zhang Yibin wanted to use explosive packets and throw them from the top of the city to the center of Toungoo people, but he had no way to get the explosive packets for the moment.

At this time, Xiong Tianyi came out of nowhere, carrying an explosive bag and ran to the top of the city.

After reaching the top of the city, I lit the explosive bag, shouted: "Be careful" and threw the explosive bag east.

In the middle of people.

Two seconds later, the explosive package exploded with a bang.

The people in Toungoo near the impact point were blown to pieces, and the people around them were also knocked to the ground by the air wave.

The Ming army heard Xiong Tianyi's warning, and the soldiers in front quickly fell to the ground, but no one was injured.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Toungu people being stunned, the Ming army rushed forward with a loud cry and killed the fallen Toungu people on the ground.

The guards behind them seized the time to load their ammunition and prepare for the fight later.

The explosive package killed and injured about thirty people, causing more people to fall to the ground.

A total of fifty or sixty Toungoo people were wiped out by the Ming army.

After the remaining Dongxu people were stunned for a while, they finally did not dare to attack again and fled towards the city gate with a bang.

But the people from Dongxu outside were still rushing in.

For a while, the people from Dongxu were stuck in the city gate, unable to go in or out.

Zhang Yibin was overjoyed and asked the Guards to shoot with muskets.

After the Tounguu people finally squeezed out of the city gate, Xiong Tianyi threw another explosive package on the suspension bridge, blowing the suspension bridge into pieces and killing all the Tounguu people on the bridge.

Flying everywhere
