The Ming army gained a lot after capturing Mengmi, seizing a large amount of gold, silver and precious stones.
The young and energetic Zhu Ruoji wanted to order the entire army to march directly to Ava, the capital of Myanmar.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qiwen and Li Dingguo objected repeatedly, saying that Burmese general Saduo and Sainan fled into Mubang City east of Mengmi. If the army went south to Awa, the Burmese army set out from Mubang to seize Mengmi and cut off our army's food routes.
Danger!
"If the general goes south to Awa, he must send another general to capture Mubang," the white-haired veteran Shi Qi said in classical Chinese.
"The last general is willing to lead his army to attack Mu State," Ning Haibo He Jiuyi said with emotion.
"The last general is willing to lend a helping hand to Ning Haibo." Aya Chieftain Long Shangden also loudly asked for battle.
Zhu Ruoji looked at Shi Qiwen and saw the look of approval in his eyes, so he said with a smile: "If Ning Haibo and General Long are willing to go, why worry about Mu State being unable to conquer it. I will order you and me to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Mu State.<
/p>
Seventy thousand Ming troops were sent in two directions. Zhu Ruoji personally led an army of 50,000 south to attack Ava, the capital of Myanmar; He Jiuyi led an army of 20,000 to the east to attack Mubang.
The Ming army going south made good progress, successively captured Baojing City, Anzhengguo City, and captured Malay City, the gateway to the north of Ava City, with its sword pointed at Ava.
However, the Ming army advancing eastward made slow progress. He Jiuyi and Long Shangdeng originally thought that there were only about 10,000 remnants of the Burmese army left in Mubang City, and the attack was not a matter of digging into the bag. However, they encountered a tough fight. Sado, Sainan, and Hanhu
The generals resisted desperately, and the Ming army almost broke through the city several times but was driven back. Once, the Ming army's artillery destroyed the west city wall. Ming troops from all walks of life rushed in through the gap and were about to break the city. The Burmese army's brave generals blocked the city.
Luo led two thousand "demon sword troops" to suddenly rush out from the north gate, attack the flanks of the Ming army at the west gate, slash and kill wildly, disrupting the Ming army's formation, and causing the Ming army to return without success.
"What a great Sero, he deserves to be the 'enemy of ten thousand people' in Myanmar. With this person here, it will be difficult for the country to be defeated." In the big tent, He Jiuyi frowned and said to himself.
"Ning Haibo, it's not difficult to kill Cerro," Long Shangdeng said suddenly.
"Oh, what's Mr. Long's clever plan?" He Jiuwen asked hurriedly.
"No matter how many enemies he has, he can't defeat the surging flood," Long Shangdeng said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" He Jiuyi seemed to have some realization, but also seemed to understand.
"Ning Haibo, Mubang City is located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Ava River. Why not build a dam and flood Mubang?"
There were roughly two types of "water attack" in this era. One was to dig embankments upstream of the river and flood the enemy city directly. This method was restricted by the terrain and was generally limited to the lower reaches of the Yellow River; the other was the "water attack" tactic.
, is to build a dam artificially and use the water level difference formed to attack the opponent. It can be divided into two categories: one is to build a dam in the upper reaches of the river to cause an increase in the water level in the upper reaches, and then artificially break the dam,
The potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy, flooding the enemy city downstream, causing enemy wall collapse and casualties; the second type does the opposite, building dams downstream of the river, and raising the water level to flood the enemy city upstream.
City, which converts the kinetic energy of water into potential energy.
The "water attack" method is good, but it is too vicious. Once the flood comes, it will kill countless people and make many people homeless and become disaster victims.
He Jiuyi frowned and said, "Commander Long, our Ming Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness. The 'water attack' method is too cruel. Even if we use this method to break the city, I am afraid we will not be able to escape the impeachment of the censor and the long-term care of the Qingshi."
I'm afraid that not only will it be useless, but it will also be guilty!"
"Hahaha, what Ning Haibo said is ridiculous. If it were the Ming Dynasty, the method of flooding would naturally not be feasible. According to the temperament of the current sage, harming the people would be a loss of head. But it is completely different in Myanmar. You can't control it.
It’s just a few dead barbarians, I don’t expect the Holy One to pursue any further investigation.” Long Shangdeng didn’t care.
He Jiuyi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. The Holy Spirit "loved the people like a son" meant the people of the Ming Dynasty, and he should not care about the life and death of those barbarians.
Evil came to Bian Bian, and he said: "I will follow General Long's strategy."
While pretending to attack the city, he sent people to quietly build a dam on the Ava River.
"Quick, quick, this is where we dig," Long Shangdeng ordered. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty took out their shovels and dug hard.
On May 16, the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army dug up the dam on the Ava River, and the torrential floods came with overwhelming power, overwhelming the sky and overwhelming the mountains.
The solid city walls were quickly broken down, bamboo buildings and shops collapsed, and countless people were swept into the ocean while they were still sleeping.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
The Ming army from outside the city came on bamboo rafts and killed the surviving Burmese soldiers one by one.
The rare tiger drowned.
Sado led some personal guards to resist high on the city wall.
Long Shangdeng stood on the boat, waved his hand contemptuously, and when the flag was waved, thousands of arrows were fired. The Burmese army commander Sado died tragically in a thicket of arrows.
"'The Yellow River comes from the west to conquer Kunlun, and roars thousands of miles to touch the Dragon Gate'. Oh, the power of this flood is really beyond the reach of human beings." He Jiuyi sat on an ordinary boat, holding a telescope and sighed repeatedly, admiring his masterpiece.
Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared in the water, and a figure jumped up from the water and jumped onto a row of Ming army bamboo rafts.
The figure took out something from his waist, shook it like a monster, chopped, stabbed, whittled, poked, and scratched. In the flash of silver light, the six or seven soldiers on the bamboo rafts all turned into corpses.
"Is this person a human or a ghost? What a blessing." Even though he was an enemy, He Jiuyi was still amazed by the opponent's martial arts.
"Commander, this must be Sai Nan, the 'Demon Sword King'", he said. Because Sai Nan is superb in martial arts, good at using Burmese swords, and has killed countless Ming soldiers, his subordinates are also called the "Demon Sword Army", so he is called the "Demon Sword King"
"Nickname.
He Jiuyi nodded and ordered: "Stop him and never let the tiger go back to the mountain."
The flag was waved, and countless bamboo rafts surrounded Sai Nan.
Two rows of bamboo rafts took the lead and crashed into Sai Nan's bamboo raft. He lifted his breath slightly, jumped up on his feet, and made a crane shape in the air.
"Bang!"
There was a huge noise in the air, the two rafts collided violently, and more than ten sergeants fell into the water.
Sainan Dantian’s luck shuttled between the rafts, gradually moving away.
"Whoosh", a feather arrow came. He turned slightly, held the tail of the arrow between his fingers, and threw it out with his backhand. The arrow seemed to have eyes and hit the shooter's throat.
"This man is too scary!" He Jiuyi murmured to himself, and ordered fiercely: "Bomb me with the Tiger Crouching Cannon."
The Ming army had more than 20 larger ships equipped with squatting tiger cannons, and they all fired upon orders.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
A volley of artillery fire was fired, and Sai Nan was about to dive into the water. A stray bullet burst out in the water, and several pieces of broken sandstone shot through Sai Nan's chest.
The demon sword king of the generation looked at his chest in disbelief and fell to the ground.
With the help of the water, the Ming army easily captured Mubang City and captured the Mubang Xuanwei Envoy of the "Liuwei".
"Today we will reward the three armies, and tomorrow morning we will rush to Malay City to join the army," He Jiuyi ordered.
"Ning Haibo, we have made great achievements this time, how do you think the General of the Southern Conquest will reward us?"
He Jiuyi said with a smile: "I estimate that I can get a marquis this time. Well, you might be able to get a uncle."
