Chapter 533: Borrowing a Knife to Kill and Tuan Southwest Tusi


Qin Liangyu saw that the Burmese army was a shrunken turtle and could not come out, and no matter how she lured it, it didn't work, so she finally decided that she could only attack.After several tentative attacks, Qin Liangyu found that the Burmese army had the strongest troops deployed in the western part of the Muzhai group.Therefore, after discussing with the generals, Qin Liangyu decided to attack the west of the Muzhai group next, and after annihilating the strong troops there, the entire Burmese army's Muzhai group could be destroyed without attacking.So, on this morning, Qin Liangyu commanded the Ming army to take advantage of the fog and begin to dive towards the western part of the Burmese wooden village group.Qin Liangyu personally led the white pole soldiers and the Tusi native soldiers in the southwest to charge, taking the lead.And in the later task, Qin Liangyu handed it over to Jiao Lian.Jiao Lian led the special battalion of the Guards to use the advanced muskets in his hands to accurately shoot the Burmese troops on the periphery of the village, so that the white pole soldiers and the southwestern Tusi soldiers held rattan cards to avoid a large number of attacks by the Burmese troops on the wall, and thus smoothly advanced to the wall.And because the fog shrouded the surroundings and the visibility was not high, the Burmese army did not know how many there were in addition to the group of musketeers from the special battalion of the Ming Guards who appeared in front of them.Even, some Burmese soldiers were forced to go down to the village because they were afraid of the muskets of the Ming army, and fought hand-to-hand with the local soldiers on the side of the Ming army.Qin Liangyu personally slashed and killed many Burmese soldiers.Along the way, there were mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.Many Tusi soldiers of the Ming army from the southwest seem to be walking on the ground for this kind of steep cottage, and some even directly carry the rattan card, knife and shoes and socks on their backs, borrowing the vines and the stone body protruding from the cliff wall with bare hands and bare feet, and brave the rain of arrows and bullets to climb directly on the wooden village, like a spirit monkey.The rushing canyons and rivers below do not seem to bring fear to these people who grew up in the mountains.Lan Peng, a rattan soldier from Yongchang, Yunnan, even climbed a section of the towering wooden village wall with his bare hands, and rushed directly into the wooden village, there were hundreds of Burmese troops in the wooden village, Lan Peng was not afraid, decisively took off the rattan card and knife, held the rattan card in one hand, and held the knife in the other, and directly killed these Burmese troops, slashing and chopping, as if entering a no-man's land.Seeing this, the other Ming army Tusi soldiers also continued to climb, and gradually more than a dozen Ming army Tusi rattan soldiers rushed into the wooden village.Qin Liangyu also followed and led the army into the wooden village after this.On this day, the Ming army finally captured the two highest wooden villages in the entire barbarian knot wood village group.Qin Liangyu took the opportunity to let the Ming army condescendingly attack other wooden villages, and directly captured eighteen wooden villages at one time.The Burmese army tried to counterattack at night, but because the Ming army had the earth-shattering thunder popularized after applying the technology of mine mercury, the Burmese army's counterattack failed.Seeing no hope of recapturing Muzhai, the Burmese army had no choice but to retreat.As a result, Qin Liangyu's subordinates successfully captured the barbarian knot, and reported to the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao.Zhu Youxiao was very pleased to learn of this good news.Although the capture of Muzhai this time, the loss of a lot of southwest Tusi soldiers, after all, it was a tough battle, even if there were Lan Peng, these warriors who successfully captured Muzhai, there were many who were injured by the Burmese army's firearms and fell off the cliff or even fell into the turbulent river.But for Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this was his purpose, to consume the Tusi soldiers in the southwest through this difficult battle.However, in order to prevent the Southwest Tusi soldiers from refusing to charge for the central court, Zhu Youxiao naturally rewarded the meritorious and even the survivors.Lan Peng, who performed the most heroically in this battle, was directly promoted to a general by him, and made him enter Beijing and enter the Ming Lecture Martial Arts General School to study for reuse.At the same time, Zhu Youxiao directly promoted Qin Liangyu's credit to his younger brother Qin Bangping, and named him the Duke of Yiguo, ordering the world to guard Mubang, and intended to use the method of Tui'en to further decompose some of the southwest toasts into more small toasts.For Lan Peng and Qin Bangping, they couldn't refuse the arrangement of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.First of all, for an ordinary rattan soldier Lan Peng, the interests of Tusi have little to do with him, and the emperor will only be grateful if he let him cross the ranks and become a high-ranking general of the empire.And Qin Bangping, as the main character of the Stone Soil Toast, if he stays in the Stone Stone Toast, he will only be the main character, not the real master of the Stone Stone Toast.After all, the lord of the stone toast is still the Ma family, he is only an in-law, and it is impossible for him to inherit his sister's title.But now that the emperor has named him the prince of the country and let him guard the Mu State for the rest of the world, it is undoubtedly better for him to be the emperor of the soil like the Mu family in Yunnan, which is undoubtedly better than staying in Shiqi Tusi.Qin Bangping will only be grateful to the emperor.As long as the officers and soldiers of Tusi performed bravely in battle, Zhu Youxiao would quickly promote them and show their favor, so as to achieve the goal of splitting the Tusi internally.The southwestern Tusi soldiers who conquered Burma also rewarded the brave ones in the battle of Barbarian Knot because of Zhu Youxiao, which greatly boosted their morale, and they performed very bravely in the various battles that advanced into Ava next, although many people were killed, but in the end, with the courage of blood and spirit, they captured another important town after the barbarian knot - Song Sai.But the discipline of these southwestern Tusi soldiers is indeed very poor, and now they are attacking Burma without the control of the imperial court and government, and they are even more unscrupulous.Qin Liangyu couldn't control it.Therefore, next, the entire Song Sai and several surrounding cities were slaughtered by the Tusi soldiers in the southwest.Many of the people slaughtered on the Burmese side were still of the same race as the southwestern Tusi soldiers of the Ming army.But national sentiment is very fragile in the face of interests.The southwestern Tusi soldiers of the Ming army needed to burn and loot to reward their hard work.Although some of them knew that this was a conspiracy of the imperial court and that the imperial court was using them to cleanse the indigenous forces of Burma, they could not stop the slaughter of the people below, and even collected the filial piety of the people below.The Tusi of various cities in Myanmar were naturally unwilling to be arbitrarily slaughtered by these Tusi soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, and they resisted very fiercely.Next, in the Battle of Xiangkong, the troops of the Burmese Tusi showed a very strong fighting spirit, and fought fiercely with the southwest Tusi soldiers of the Ming army for several days, and even the Burmese side sent elephant soldiers.But in the end, because the Ming army was above the Burmese army in terms of artillery and muskets, and in addition, the Burmese army had to divide its troops to hold the attack of the Ming army's naval division in the south, so that Qin Bangxian's reinforcements had the opportunity to arrive, and the Ming army won the final victory.The reinforcements led by Qin Bangxian are all white-pole soldiers, and they are very active in reinforcing Qin Liangyu, plus Qin Bangxian himself has just been named a national prince, and his heart to repay the emperor's favor is also very urgent, and he even traveled hundreds of miles to this place on the night mountain road.However, after this battle, the Tusi soldiers in the southwest of the Ming army also suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and many of them were even elites who had fought in Liaodong and Dongyu.The Burmese side suffered even heavier losses, forcing them to give up a head-on confrontation with the Ming army, adopting the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, burning and emptying villages along the way, so that the Ming army, which was short of food and tired horses, could not find any supplies along the way, and fell into a state of distress, and finally had to kill horses to satisfy hunger.
