Under the Malay City, Mangbai personally supervised the battle. Generals Xizhen, Ulu La, Bingchui, and Meng Shao each led their troops to attack the city desperately. Because the top brass of the Burmese army knew that the Ming Navy had captured the capital of Burma.
With the news of Ava, there is no way out, only a fight to the death.
Layer after layer, wave after wave, under the supervision of the generals, the Burmese soldiers rushed forward regardless of life or death.
Under the banner of the Burmese King, Mang Bai nodded. According to this strategy, it is not without hope to capture Malay City in two days.
"Come here, move the king's flag forward," Mang Bai issued the military order.
The four-clawed golden dragon flag moves forward slowly with fangs and claws.
Seeing this, the Burmese soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and the intensity of the attack on the city was greatly increased. Soldiers continued to rush to the city.
"Old officer, be careful." Ming army deputy general Lu Wenye was killing the enemy at the top of the city, and guerrilla Pan Dian pushed him away.
"Poof", a stream shot through Pan Dian's back.
"Brother Pan", Lu Wenye hugged him quickly.
Pan Dian opened his eyes weakly, "Old official, I will still follow you in the next life." After saying this, he lost his breath.
Another old brother of Luo Jiao died. Lu Wenye, Liu Zheng and others went crazy and fought desperately with the Burmese army.
Burmese general Meng Shao led more than a hundred people to charge into the city and formed a small square formation at the head of the city. He commanded his men and covered the Burmese army ascending the city from the ladder. Gradually, more and more Burmese troops boarded the city.
Zhang Hu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, spotted him and rushed towards Meng Shao with 300 personal guards.
Zhang Hu fought as fiercely as a tiger, and soon suppressed the Burmese army that rushed towards the city and kept retreating.
The Burmese sword in Meng Shao's hand was curled and replaced with a Burmese heavy sword. He howled and shouted, ready to fight with Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu raised the knife, but heard a "bang" sound, and a bloody hole was shot out of Meng Shao's chest. Looking sideways, he saw a Ming soldier holding a smoking gun.
"What's your name?"
"Li Ergou".
"Good boy, your gun skills are good." Zhang Hu praised him and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be the leader of the team."
"Da~da~da~"
The sound of horse hooves was heard. Hu Maozhen, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army, led two thousand cavalry to the rear of the Burmese army, harassed the Burmese army attacking the city, and lit fires everywhere near the Burmese army camp. The flames soared into the sky, preventing the Burmese army from concentrating on attacking the city.
.
Mangbai was furious and ordered Wu Lula to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to destroy the Ming army.
As soon as Ulu Tsai arrived, Hu Maozhen disappeared; as soon as the Burmese army left, the Ming army came again. This happened for three, four or five consecutive days, and the Burmese army failed to capture Malay City.
"How did you fight? Idiot, if you can't destroy the Ming army's cavalry tomorrow, I will behead you," Mangbai yelled at Wu Lula.
Wu Lula was shy and irritable, but he didn't dare to raise his head and returned to the camp in dismay.
"General, the sentinel sent out has returned. They heard a piece of news: Our navy landed in southern Myanmar, went north along the Irrawaddy River (Greater Jinsha River), and captured the capital of Myanmar, Ava."
In the Ming army's tent, Zhu Ruoji, Shi Qiwen, and Li Dingguo were stunned by the news, and there was silence in the tent.
"No wonder the Burmese army attacked the city like crazy and wanted to fight me. It turned out that Awa's lair was taken away. I wonder which general led the navy? It's so awesome." Shi Qiwen laughed.
"Report to the Duke of Dian that the one who conquered Awa was Zhou Hezhi, the Marquis of Pingyi," the whistleblower reported.
"Oh, is it the big pirate?" Shi Qiwen nodded, "It's a bit of a surprise."
"General, you can quickly have someone write a piece of paper in Burmese, wrap it around an arrow, and shoot it into the Burmese army camp to spread the news of the fall of Awa and shake the heart of the Burmese army. At the same time, prepare for a decisive battle with the Burmese army," Li Dingguo suggested.
"Hongyuan's words are very good and accurate." Zhu Ruoji smiled happily.
Arrows wrapped with pieces of paper were shot at the Burmese camp. Soon, the news of the fall of Awa spread throughout the army, and people in the Burmese army were panicked.
The next day, Mangbai counted the number of soldiers and found that more than 300 soldiers had escaped. He was furious and summoned troops and horses to attack the city again. The Ming army's cavalry came to harass again. He ordered Wu Lula to destroy the Ming army's cavalry, but these cavalry did not compete with them.
There was a head-on confrontation between the Burmese army and the Burmese army ran away as soon as they approached. Ulu La had no choice but to do anything.
Mang Bai was so angry that he wanted to kill Wu Lu La, but the generals tried to persuade him to stop.
With victory in sight, the soldiers of the Ming army sang loudly at the top of the city, singing "Song of Waves in the Wind" written by Emperor Guangwu.
When? My heart is wandering??"
The loud singing made the city walls tremble and made the Burmese troops below the city tremble with fear. With a black face, Mang Bai ordered the troops to be withdrawn and returned to camp.
As night falls, the Burmese army camp is desolate.
Wu Lula couldn't sleep. Today, the king wanted to kill me, but the generals tried to persuade him to stop. Tomorrow, the Ming army's cavalry will come again. I can't come up with a good way to deal with the cavalry, and I will inevitably die.
The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became. I got out of bed and paced back and forth in the military tent.
"Has General Wu Lula gone to bed?" A soft voice came from outside the military tent.
Wu Luci came out of the tent and saw that it was Xiang Guo Xizhen. He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Why are you here? Please come in quickly."
Xizhen entered the tent and asked directly: "The enemy cavalry will come again tomorrow. Does the general have any good strategies?"
Wu Luci sighed: "The general is at his wits' end, so I ask the Prime Minister for advice."
"Alas! I don't have any good ideas. I'm afraid that the general's life will be in danger tomorrow. I have known him for many years, so I came here to visit and ask the general if he has any funeral matters to tell me."
When Wu Luci heard this, he was horrified and sweated like rain. The tall and dignified man of five feet actually started crying. With a "plop", he knelt down to Xizhen and said, "Prime Minister, please save the life of this general."
.
"General, if you want to survive, I have a way, but, just??"
"Just what?"
"I'm just afraid that the general won't dare to listen."
Wu Luci smiled bitterly, "When death is imminent, why don't you dare?"
"Okay, in that case, I will speak frankly," Xizhen said slowly: "When the Ming army's cavalry arrives tomorrow, the general will die. If you want to survive, you can only give it a try and survive in death."
"Give it a try? What do you mean??" Wu Luji's eyes flashed.
"Yes, instead of waiting for the king to kill you tomorrow, why don't you kill the king first tonight and do it tonight, otherwise it will be too late tomorrow."
"Kill the king? Wouldn't that be killing the king?"
"The king's throne was obtained by murdering the former king, and everyone in the country knows this. Therefore, when the general killed the king, he did not kill the king, but to kill the rebellious ministers and traitors to avenge the late king," Xizhen said slowly and bluntly.
The awe-inspiring righteousness left Wu Lula speechless.
"After killing the king, how will we fight against the Ming army?" Wu Lula asked hesitantly.
Xizhen smiled, "The Ming army is so powerful that they even captured Ava. The king is no match, let alone the general. The only way to survive is to sacrifice the king's head to the Ming Dynasty."
"Kill the king and surrender to the Ming army?"
Wu Lula hesitated, but finally made up his mind; "The general will be willing to listen to the Prime Minister's orders."
