Wu Sangui led a group of people to the sea, and saw several Xiyi warships in the distance, sailing into the bay.One of the Dutch ships, when it entered the bay, was already heavily tilted, and finally before the other ships could move it out of berth, it rushed onto the shoal and ran aground to prevent the ship from sinking in the harbor.The rest of the Xiyi warships were also injured, and the sail ropes and sides were seriously damaged.Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "There are two missing, and the Yingyi flagship is gone!"
”When Wu Sangui heard this, he quickened his pace and came to the edge of the dock, where a large number of wounded Xiyi soldiers and sailors were carried off the ship.Among them, the commander of the fleet, Alex, was placed on a cart, soaked in blood, surrounded by a large group of British and French."
Your Majesty, it's just ahead!"
Wu Guozhu led a group of people to the board car.Wu Sangui entered the crowd, and it was hard to believe that the person in front of him was the commander of the British fleet.He looked around and saw that most of the Xiyi people were very embarrassed, and his heart sank, and he looked like he was indeed defeated.Moreover, it is more miserable.Hong Chengchou didn't think about it, the Xiyi Combined Fleet, which he had high hopes for, lost the flagship for the first time in the Ming Dynasty, and the commander was still not awake."
How so?"
Hong Chengchou asked.An Englishman who was proficient in Chinese, faced Hong Chengchou's questioning, replied: "We ran into the main fleet of the Ming army, engaged in a fierce engagement, and lost a Dutch battleship, as well as a flagship, but the Ming people were not comfortable, and we sank and damaged many ships.Overall, we managed to hold off the Ming fleet, protect the convoy, and get out of the battlefield without incident.This battle can be regarded as a key victory for our combined fleet. ”Wu Sangui looked at the commander of the British army lying in a pool of blood, this is also called victory?
The British commander, who had been drinking with him not long ago, would surely affect the situation of the war and morale if he died.Looking at His Excellency the commander, with more breath and less intake, looking like his life was hanging by a thread, covered in blood, Wu Sangui hurriedly asked, "Why don't you bandage it and find Langzhong?"
”The British officer hurriedly said: "The priest has carried out bloodletting therapy on His Excellency the General. ”"Nonsense!"
Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered: "Quickly call my imperial doctor." ”…… Zhao Ming led a large army, and when he appeared at the Santa Pass, he encountered the Donghu army that arrived in a hurry.Zhao Ming saw that the sneak attack failed, and saw that the Donghu army rushed to the place in a panic, obviously he had not made much preparations before, but suddenly received an order to stop the Ming army.This shows that the Donghu army is not fully prepared, so Zhao Ming immediately ordered Li Ponu and Jin Shenghuan to directly assault the enemy formation, and he led the army to follow behind.As soon as the Donghu army arrived at the mountain pass, before they could quickly set up the formation, Li Ponu led the cavalry and broke into the enemy formation, and Jin Shenghuan immediately followed.The Ming army directly tore apart the battle line of the Donghu people, and then continued to advance rapidly to the north, while Jin Shenghuan led the troops to guard the gap, and when Zhao Ming's army arrived, he continued to advance behind Li Ponu.The Ming army rushed to the town behind the Donghu army, and a large number of Ming troops pressed up in front, and the Donghu army immediately hurriedly fled north.However, the cavalry of the Ming army had already run in front of them, and tens of thousands of Donghu troops did not fight much, so they were divided and surrounded by the Ming army that followed up, and they were quickly surrounded and annihilated.In the rear of the Donghu army, the Donghu people never imagined that without seeing their own defeated army, the Ming army would enter their towns, and the defenseless Donghu towns fell one after another.Li Ponu led the cavalry, every time he broke through a place, he did not stop, and handed over the follow-up clean-up to the infantry army behind him, and the cavalry only managed to break through, and within three days, they broke through for more than 400 miles and occupied Bagu, an important town in the south of Donghu.At this time, Li Ponu originally planned to rush to Yangon in one go, but met the Zhou army that had just landed here.The two sides fought a big battle in the east of Yangon, and Li Ponu knew that behind him, the distance between the infantry and the army was still far away, so he took the initiative to retreat and retreat to Bagu, waiting for reinforcements.At this time, if the Zhou army continued to advance, it would definitely be able to recapture Bagu, but Wu Sangui had just landed, and he didn't know the truth of Li Ponu, and he was shocked by the rapid progress of the Ming army, so not only did he not send troops to the east, but instead shrank to Yangon and retreated to this beachhead.Wu Sangui's misjudgment gave the Ming army a chance, and a few days later, Jin Shenghuan arrived in Bagu, and soon Zhao Ming also cleaned up the defeated army in Donghu along the way, led a large army and tens of thousands of prisoners, and arrived in Bagu.At this time, Wu Sangui learned about the situation of Bagu from the mouth of the scout, and when he learned that Li Ponu only had 3,000 cavalry, Wu Sangui was remorseful, and when he wanted to send troops, Jin Shenghuan and Zhao Ming led the army to arrive successively, making him miss the perfect opportunity.At present, Wu Sangui's Zhou army, as well as the defeated army of Donghu, gathered in the Yangon area, relying on sea supplies, and stood firm from the new, while Zhao Ming was stationed in a strong army, because there was no overwhelming advantage in troops, so he could only temporarily stop continuing to advance.At this time, in the camp of the Bgo Ming Army, Zhao Ming sat in the big tent and listened to the reports of his subordinates."
Regent, judging from the news sent by the Minister of Donghu who was instigated.The regent's plan was originally very smooth, and Bai Mang had already been planned. ”Zhang Jiayu said in a deep voice.Zhao Ming frowned slightly, "What went wrong with that, is it because when we were stationed in Siam, something went wrong, so that the Donghu people learned the news that the widows were hiding troops in Siam?"
”"The regent is very hidden in Siam, and many Siamese people think we are Siamese soldiers!"
Zhang Jiayu said.Zhao Ming asked again: "Is that Li Dingguo's mistake?"
”"Not either!"
Zhang Jiayu said: "It's because of Hong Chengchou!"
This guy saw through the regent's plan, went to see Bai Mang, and when Bai Mang was asked to send troops to defend northern Burma, he pointed out that His Royal Highness's real attack direction was south, and asked Bai Mang to immediately allow Zhou Guo and Yingyi to enter Burma to deploy defenses, which caused such a situation!
”When Zhao Ming heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said hatefully: "It's Hong Chengchou again!"
How come he hasn't died yet!
”Zhang Jiayu said: "Right now, Wu Sangui has landed in Yangon, and Bai Mang is a horn to each other, we can only hope that the king of Yanping will lead the fleet to carry out a naval blockade of Yangon and cut off Wu Sangui's supplies, so that it is possible to regain the advantage." ”Zhao Ming bowed his head when he heard this, "Counting the time, Zheng Chenggong should have been near Yangon, and I don't know what the battle situation is at sea?"
”Now that the Ming army is attacking Ava to the north, it will be flanked by the Zhou army in Yangon, and attacking Rangoon will also face the threat of the Awa Donghu army, so Zhao Ming can only hope that he will cut off Wu Sangui's sea supply line, weaken the Zhou army, and even force Wu Sangui to withdraw his troops.At this time, the curtain was suddenly raised, and Wang Shuang strode into the tent and said urgently: "Regent, King Yanping has led the fleet over!"
”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, stood up and asked, "How did you come here?"
