In the Indochina Peninsula, the border between Donghu and Siam, the Birao Mountains and the Ta Nian Ta Thanon Mountains, a large number of Ming soldiers marched along the valley.After judging that Li Dingguo would attack Donghu from Yunnan at the agreed time, and that the combined fleet led by Zheng Chenggong would arrive at the coast of Donghu, Zhao Ming ordered that 20,000 elite Ming troops, starting from Thonburi, that is, Bangkok, would pass through the Santa Pass and kill Donghu.On the same day, 10,000 Siamese troops, 10,000 Zhenla troops, 15,000 Annam troops, and about 35,000 vassal soldiers, followed the Ming army and entered the valley in a mighty way.At this time, from the northern foot of Bilao Mountain, looking towards the valley, the elite cavalry galloped in front, the Ming soldiers wearing red cloth armor were densely packed, carrying muskets, marching in formation, the artillery dragged by the war horses, and the baggage vehicles, stretching for several miles, extremely spectacular.Under the banner of Daxu, Zhao Ming sat proudly on horseback, and Zhang Jiayu, who joined the army, was introducing him to the terrain in front of him."
Regent, twenty miles ahead, out of the Santa Pass, and then enter the territory of Donghu.Out of the valley, the army could reach Mawlamyine in one day, and in less than five days it could sweep through the cities of Bago and Yangon in the south of Taungoo, and then march north to the city of Ava.Of course, all this is on the premise of not encountering resistance. ”Zhang Jiayu looked at the map and said.Zhao Ming bowed slightly, this is an ideal state.If Bai Mang relaxed his vigilance because of the peace talks, and because Li Dingguo attacked northern Burma, and transferred the southern forces to the north, then Zhao Ming's surprise attack could play a blitzkrieg-like effect.However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it often does not develop as expected, especially when the opponent is still quite strong and has a certain strength.Therefore, for the sake of prudence, Zhao Ming had already ordered more scouts to be sent to reconnoitre."
I don't know if Dingguo has attracted the Donghu people?
If you are fooled, this battle will be easy to fight, and you can end the battle before Qingming!
”Zhao Ming said casually.Zhang Jiayu said with a smile: "Judging from the information obtained before, Bai Mang has been tricked, the border defense is very lax, and there is no problem with the minister to end the war before the Qingming Festival." ”Zhao Ming laughed and said: "Haha~ Zhiyuan, you are proud." ”"Report!"
A horse came at a gallop.At this moment, a scout, riding a war horse, went against the flow of people, looking at the banner.Zhao Ming pulled the horse aside, grabbed the reins, and stood on the side of the road, and after a while, the scout ran to the front, flew off his horse, and reported on one knee: "Regent!"
More than 30 miles ahead, a large number of troops are coming towards the Santa Pass at high speed!
”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, sure enough, it wouldn't be so smooth, and the Donghu people reacted."
How many soldiers and horses are there?"
Zhao Ming asked."
Back to the regent, come from the wilderness, between thirty and fifty thousand.The opponent is mostly an infantry army, and there are war elephants in the middle!
”The scout replied.Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "Keep exploring!"
”"Whoa!"
The scout saluted, immediately turned on his horse, and galloped away.Zhao Ming then said to Zhang Jiayu: "The enemy who blocked the attack appeared, and it seems that the situation has changed. ”Zhang Jiayu was speechless for a moment, pondered for a moment and said: "Regent, no matter what changes, the top priority is not to let the enemy army block the exit of the valley. ”Zhao Ming bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Listening to the words of the scouts, tens of thousands of Donghu troops are rushing over, but it can be seen that they are actually not prepared!"
”"Li Ponu!"
Zhao Ming suddenly shouted loudly."
The minister is here!"
Li Ponu pulled out his horse and hugged his fists on the horse.Zhao Minglang said: "The widow made you handsome with three thousand fine horses, and the widow just rushed forward!"
”"Whoa!"
Li Ponu responded with his fists clenched."
Where is Jin Shenghuan?"
Zhao Ming shouted loudly.Jin Shenghuan hurriedly clenched his fists, "The minister is here!"
”Zhao Ming said: "You lead the headquarters, follow the cavalry, and rush forward." ”The military order flew over, Li Ponu slapped his horse out, and the three thousand elite horsemen behind him immediately raised their speed, followed them, broke away from the brigade, and galloped towards the mountain pass.As soon as the 3,000 cavalry left, Jin Shenghuan greeted loudly, and after a brief mobilization, the 6,000 infantry army marched westward and followed the cavalry!
Now the Ming army is twenty miles away from the Santa Pass, and the Donghu army is only ten miles away from the mountain pass, or even closer.Three thousand Ming troops rode well, galloped on horseback, and the road of twenty miles was only a moment away.At this time, Li Ponu took the lead, and the mountains and forests on both sides of the gallop moved back rapidly, and the ground in front gradually opened up, and the cavalry had arrived at the mountain pass."
Look, General!"
The cavalry beside him suddenly shouted a warning.Li Ponu looked up, only to see countless figures appear in the wilderness outside the valley, tens of thousands of Donghu people, shirtless, holding rattan cards and war knives, surrounded by war elephants, pressing towards the exit of the valley.The terrain of the pass is narrow, and once the enemy army occupies the pass, it can form a strong defensive line to block the main force of the Ming army in the valley.As a result, it was difficult for the main force of the Ming army to enter Donghu, and the surprise attack became a protracted battle."
Kill!
Crush them!
”Li Ponu did not hesitate at all, roared, and then held the horse lance high, urging the war horse to rush out.The cavalry of the Ming army did not hesitate at all, and the three thousand cavalry let out a roar like an angry tide, followed by Li Ponu, and directly pounced on the Donghu army that came from the field.At this time, Donghu hurried away, heard the roar of hooves, and saw the Ming cavalry rushing out of the valley.The Donghu people did not expect the Ming army to launch a charge as soon as they saw it, and their formation had not yet been arranged, and it was difficult to form an effective defense during the march, so they were immediately killed by the Ming army.The cavalry of the Ming army was well-equipped, most of the Donghu people were shirtless, and the weapons were mainly swords and shields.Just as the cavalry of the Ming army rushed into the Donghu people, the dust in the valley was flying, and thousands of Ming troops poured out of the valley."
What's the situation?"
Jin Shenghuan rushed out of the mountain pass, saw chaos outside the valley, and questioned the general."
Marshal, General Li has already rushed into the enemy formation!"
The general raised his gun and said loudly.Jin Shenghuan looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the 3,000 Ming army had gone deep into the enemy formation, and where the cavalry passed, there were the corpses of Donghu people in one place."
Good!
The whole army obeyed the order, followed the cavalry brothers, and pressed me up!
”Jin Shenghuan roared loudly.The 6,000 Ming army did not have time to form a team, so they rushed directly towards the chaotic Donghu people.~~~~~~ when the army led by Zhao Ming was blocked by the Donghu people on the border, the combined fleet sailing on the sea had already appeared in the Donghu area.Zheng Chenggong led a fleet of fifteen gunboats to cut through the waves on the sea and sail in the direction of Yangon.At this time, on the flagship bucket, several sailors held clairvoyant mirrors and searched the sea surface at the same time.Suddenly, a sailor shouted loudly, "Your Highness, there is an enemy ship!"
”Zheng Chenggong hurriedly walked to the side of the ship, took out a clairvoyant mirror, and looked in the direction pointed by the sailor.With a circular vision, scanning the boundless sea, a fleet of more than a dozen large ships appeared in Zheng Chenggong's field of vision.Zheng Chenggong put down the clairvoyant mirror, glanced at the black dot in the distance with the naked eye, and then picked up the clairvoyant mirror again, aimed at one of them, and saw a red and white cross flag on a blue background hanging on the tall mast."
It's Yingyi!"
Zheng Chenggong said in a deep voice: "Hang the order flag and enter the battle preparations." ”()
