Chapter 767 One-sided slaughter

Another round of cannonage!

Unlike the previous rocket launcher, a series of mortar shells dragged a dull roar from the sky, and the powerful explosion shock wave mixed with countless pieces of earth and rock storm violently hit the land that had been ravaged.

The soil and smoke dissipated in all directions with the violent air flow. The cannons placed in the camp were easily blown away by the air flow like wooden sticks, rising into the air, and then smashed to the ground.

The air was filled with a pungent gunpowder gas and thick smoke. The Burmese who survived the fire were choked and coughed loudly.

These Burmese were frightened by this situation they had never encountered before. They curled up on the ground with their heads in their arms, lying on the ground trembling, coughing, crying, screaming, praying in despair, and being hit by a falling shell in the sound of Buddha's blessing, and then destroyed...

With the violent explosion, the blood that was blown into the limbs and limbs that were blown into the air fell like rain. The blood rain and minced meat fell on the Burmese, causing them to scream again in panic.

Unlike the first round of rocket launcher raids, this round of artillery bombardment was used as a six-year light mortar. Its structure is similar to later mortars, except that the iron-casting tube is heavier and the range is closer. However, it is loved by infantry because of its lightness, especially in the southwest. Infantry likes it even far more than nine kilograms of mountain howitzers.

At this time, its high firing rate and great power were fully demonstrated.

The Burmese people in this fire all looked at the smoke columns rising around them in horror. The violent explosions hit their fragile hearts like the roar of Thunder God. The choking smell of gunpowder made them breathless. The violent shock waves flew in the air with fatal fragments, tearing open their skin, flesh and bones.

This place has become a hell!

Some Burmese people who were frightened by all this even hugged their heads in horror and ran around. They screamed loudly, but soon, they fell down...

And the more deadly one is the elephant!

The elephants who were frightened in the explosion seemed to be crazy. They broke free from the ropes and rushed around the camp, stepping on the Burmese soldiers who were lying on the ground to avoid shelling, easily trampling them into flesh mud. The Burmese soldiers around them rolled away from the trampling of the elephants, and prayed that the elephants would die.

It seemed that their prayers were fulfilled, and the crazy elephants died. Their bodies blocked too many shrapnel. Some unlucky elephants were even hit directly by shells, and their huge bodies were instantly blown into a pile of minced meat.

The explosion like thunder continued for three minutes.

Three minutes later, the Ming army finally stopped the shelling.

But the Burmese people were really frightened. The explosions in their ears were still echoing, the shelling in their hearts continued, and the ground was still shaking and shaking.

And around them were the wounded men struggling in pools of blood, screaming and crying incessantly.

The red earth will be even redder.

"Hurry, run away..."

Jialing came back and fled directly to the blown wooden wall. There were many similar people. I don’t know how many Burmese people were blown away in the bombardment in these few minutes and lost their courage.

After all, they are essentially just a group of serfs with their own swords and guns.

"Escape!"

Thousands of Burmese chose to flee later, but their escape did not last long. In front of them, the Ming army, who had unknown where they had already deployed their positions, had teams of Ming army holding muskets, were waiting for their arrival covetously.

"put!"

With the command of the officer, the Ming army, who were standing in line, immediately pulled the trigger. Amid the dense gunshots, scorching lead bullets roared towards the Burmese soldiers. The bullets tore their flesh and blood and shattered their bones.

Screams came one after another.

Under the command of the officers, the Ming army continued to shoot alternately, and the shooting advantage of the rear-mounted rifled rifle was fully demonstrated at this time.

After firing a shot, Zhao Liu, who was squatting on the ground, ignored the gunshot sounds coming from above his head. He lifted the shutter at the tail of the gun, loaded a paper shell into the chamber, and after closing the shutter, he quickly stuffed the fire cap.

“Distance is 400!”

During the command of the commander, Zhao Liu adjusted the watch ruler, aimed at the Burmese soldiers in front of him, and pulled the trigger.

The buttstock hit the shoulder, and the muzzle was filled with smoke...

Is this a war?

Zhao Liu didn't know that he was born in a military household and his ancestors followed Mu Ying to Yunnan to fight, and then they kept farming in Yunnan. Although his life was getting worse and worse, he could barely survive. As a military household... he had to fight. Fortunately, all the dukes of all generations liked to conquer local soldiers and fight, and later, they recruited soldiers.

Military households...just farm.

But later, he was jealous!

Eight years ago, during the rebellion in Shadingzhou, after the official army was pacified, the chieftains in Wangnong changed their territory and returned to the rebellion, and reset the garrison. The officers and soldiers who participated in the quelling of the rebellion were not only assigned to at least 100 acres of land, but also to slaves. At that time, who was not jealous?

But there was no way to be jealous. Qian Shengchao had already abolished his old military records and they had long been civilians. Because of this, when the Duke of the State recruited new recruits, Zhao Liu hurriedly joined the army. Why?

Isn’t it just to return to military residence and to that hundred acres of hereditary duty-free military field?

Military households are exempt from service and military fields are exempt from taxes.

Find such a good thing there!

Thinking about the benefits of being a soldier, Zhao Liu quickly loaded bullets, repeating again and again, from 600 meters to 100 meters. Although the Burmese soldiers tried to rush over again and again, their attempts ended in failure in such a rain of bullets. Thousands of corpses were scattered in front of the Ming army's horizontal lineup.

...

After learning that the retreat was blocked, Mangdala was stunned. Like others, he was also in a state of shock. Although he lived in Mysson City, Chengfeng also dropped a lot of shells. The nearest shell even exploded more than ten feet away from him.

He was still in shock and was not frightened, but ordered the generals to prepare for war and block the Ming army from crossing the river. At this time, the Ming army's artillery bombardment began again. Although the effect was far less than the previous two rounds, amid the earth-shaking explosion, almost all the generals had only one suggestion to retreat!

"King, there is no way to fight this battle. They killed tens of thousands of us with just cannons. They didn't need to cross the river at all. Just bombing through the river can send us all to the west."

"Yes, while the Ming army has not crossed the river, we should try our best to rush over. As long as we rush over, our Daming army will have a chance. Even if their Ming army can chase Awa, can we still chase Shalian?"

"King, as long as the rainy season is coming for a few months, we don't have to fight, and the Buddha will clean up them..."

rainy season!

The rainy season is the real nightmare in the war.

It’s not because of rain, but because of disease. Fortunately, Myanmar is big enough, even if the Ming army occupied Awa, what’s the big deal? After the rainy season comes, the protracted disease will make them withdraw their troops voluntarily. When the Siamese army surrounded Awa City with more than 100,000 troops, how many people went back alive?

Just when Mangdala was hesitating, he only heard the Prime Minister say.

"King, the Ming army cannot chase Shalian, but their fleet can defeat Shalian! Perhaps, Gu Shalian has appeared in their fleet..."

The Prime Minister's reminder made Mangdala's face instantly pale without a trace of blood!

It was not until this time that they remembered that the Ming Dynasty is different from the past. In the past, the Ming Dynasty could only fight south from Yunnan, but now... in the South Gate, in Malacca, and in Colombo, those places are all the territory of the Ming people!

The Ming Dynasty's fleet was not even the Portuguese.

"It's not right to withdraw, it's not right to fight. You can't wait to die here!"

Mangdala said loudly.

"Removing first, let's talk about the rest!"

The most important thing now is that it cannot be captured by the Ming army. As for the others, I will talk about them later.

"But king, there is a Ming army on our retreat!"
Chapter completed!
