Thinking about these messy things, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly towards Liu Tongwen.
"What the Qing family said makes sense!"
"It is indeed a good choice to establish a military camp in Nuergandusi."
As for what to plant in military villages?
Planting potatoes of course!
When the time comes, Zhu Hongyu will dispatch a team of small-time laborers to the ice and snow of Siberia to help the Ming army conduct military settlements.
After all, digging potatoes in Siberia is an old tradition from childhood!
Zhu Hongyu believes that Xiaoli will be able to handle this arduous task.
Thinking about this, Zhu Hongyu continued.
"The imperial court wants to completely swallow up Siberia, and military garrison alone is not enough."
"We still need to find more profitable industries in Siberia and vigorously develop them..."
Zhu Hongyu was very clear-headed from beginning to end. He understood that only interests are the driving force for the country's foreign expansion.
Isn't the reason why Europeans want to engage in great voyages because they can make a lot of money from trade between the East and the West? That's why they risk their lives to find a new route to the East?
The reason why the Mongols were able to fight all the way to Eastern Europe was also because they conquered so many countries and ethnic groups along the way, massacring cities and looting, and making money all the way.
Everything shows that interests are the key to external expansion!
But now, if Ming Dynasty wants to capture Siberia and digest it, it must find suitable profit points.
The fur trade alone is probably not enough!
Because, in the long run, the profits that the fur trade can bring only ensure that the imperial court can get a certain return on its investment in Siberia, which barely evens out the imperial court's expenditure on garrisoning troops in Siberia.
It’s amazing how much profit can be left in the end!
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu must find new profit growth points.
For example, minerals, especially gold and silver mines.
Regardless of whether it is the New World that is rich in gold or silver mines, the output of gold and silver mines in Siberia is also not small.
If the imperial court could discover several large-scale gold and silver mines in Siberia, minerals worth tens or even hundreds of millions of silver dollars would be produced every year.
At that time, who will dare to talk about abandoning the land?
For example, there is a large-scale silver mine in the North Sea. In later generations, a huge amount of silver was produced there every year, and the output was even lower than that of Ishimi Yinshan.
As long as the silver mines here can be developed, the North Sea will become the sacred and inviolable territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times.
It’s useless for anyone to come!
It's a pity that the current Ming army is still unable to expand to the North Sea and needs to accumulate strength.
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu continued.
"The imperial court is preparing to send a prospecting team to Siberia to explore local minerals, especially gold and silver mines."
"The cabinet also needs to select some officials who are brave enough to take up their duties and prepare them to take charge of people's livelihood affairs in the newly occupied areas."
"We must do a good job in land surveying, census, resource exploration, and the most important sinicization work!"
For those young people in the north who were still in a primitive tribal state, the most important task for the imperial court was the work of Sinicization.
For the Ming Dynasty, only the minority people who had completed Chineseization were truly their own people.
As long as everyone speaks the same language, inherits the same culture, is used to the same customs, and has the same skin color...
Only then can ethnic groups achieve integration and become a truly indistinguishable family.
Otherwise, when the Ming Dynasty declines, those young people who have not been Chineseized will still have the possibility of betraying them again.
Because if you don't Chineseize, people will always think that He Daming is not one of them.
Of course, the prerequisite for Chineseization is that everyone has the same skin color and appearance.
Otherwise, everyone’s skin color is different, and the difference can be seen at a glance, so it’s still a matter of assimilation!
There is no doubt that Zhu Hongyu is talking about Nico here.
…
At the end of September in the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty's liberation, the allied forces organized by the Ming Dynasty to conquer Burma completed their assembly in Kunming City.
Troops from each vassal state also arrived in Kunming respectively, preparing to move to the front line.
Massive amounts of ordnance and supplies came in and out of Kunming City.
There are far fewer pedestrians around Kunming. People in Kunming city have closed their doors and locked their doors. Generally, they don’t go out unless they have nothing to do.
Although it is already a consensus that the Ming army has strict military discipline, aren't there still troops from those vassal states?
Those guys all look weird, and they don’t look like good people!
Fortunately, the imperial army suppressed the attack and did not cause any panic in Kunming City.
After everyone arrived, the Ming army began to quickly organize the coalition forces to move south, all the way towards Myanmar.
In mid-October of the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty's liberation, the coalition forces arrived in Mengla.
In November of the fourth year after the Ming Dynasty was restored, the coalition troops followed the Lancang River and arrived at Ava, the capital of Myanmar.
Of course, this country was once the capital, and now Myanmar has moved its capital further south to Naypyitaw, which is located in the mountains.
After learning that the coalition forces were advancing towards Myanmar, the Myanmar side gave up on Awa and moved its defense line back.
The coalition forces also took advantage of the situation and captured the city of Ava, and then set up the forward headquarters of the army in the city of Ava.
In the city of Ava, a mansion.
The words "Command Headquarters of the Allied Forces Against Burma" are hung on the plaque of the mansion. A number of coalition soldiers stood around the mansion, maintaining vigilance.
At the same time, military discussions were also going on in the mansion.
"Judging from the current situation, the Myanmar side should be preparing to lure us deep into Myanmar."
"Then wait for an opportunity to counterattack!"
Liu Shantai sat in the main seat and said in a calm voice.
As a general who followed Zhu Hongyu when he raised troops at the Dalun Mountain Mine in Luzon, Liu Shantai is undoubtedly a high-ranking official today.
This time the imperial court wanted to organize a coalition to attack Burma, so he stepped forward and asked to lead the army.
After Zhu Hongyu thought about it, he agreed.
After hearing what Liu Shantai said, other people in the room also stood up and spoke.
"Commander Qi, judging from the current situation, Myanmar should have deployed its forces in the mountains near Naypyitaw, preparing to use the mountains to block the advance of our army."
"Yes, Commander. Perhaps what our army should do most now is to send more sentries forward to find out the enemy's specific troop deployment to avoid falling into an ambush."
"No matter what the Burmese people want to do, we will push forward steadily in order to overcome the odds with force."
"..."
Nowadays, the Ming army rarely uses the so-called surprise attack tactics in combat.
Rather, he likes to use force to overwhelm others and defeat enemies with force!
To put it bluntly, it means building a stronghold, fighting stupid battles, and relying on absolute strength to crush the enemy in an upright manner.
If this is done, the Ming army's advance may be very slow, but it can ensure that the enemy will not be given any opportunity to take advantage of it.
Hearing this, Liu Shantai nodded and said.
"That's a good statement!"
"This time the imperial court organized the coalition forces to conquer Burma in the south. It can be said that they want to defeat the enemy with a majestic formation. No matter what the Burmese people do, we will march according to the plan."
Wu Shicong on the side couldn't help but was speechless when he heard this.
Although Ming's tactics may seem rigid, only when he stands on the opposite side of Ming will you know how terrifying an enemy like the Ming army is.
Because you can't find any flaws in the Ming army!
It's really uncomfortable to feel like you are being pushed down by a mountain, bit by bit, and watching your own death.
Of course, if he was on the side of the Ming army, that would be a different matter!
Wu Shicong said that this feeling of overwhelming others with power is so refreshing!
Ming Dynasty is really rich, I have never fought such a rich war!
The coalition forces continued to advance, but did not advance directly towards Naypyitaw as Myanmar expected.
Instead, they used Ava as a resurgence and sent troops everywhere to sweep across Myanmar's state capitals and cities, pulling out the state capitals one after another.
The fundamental purpose is to dismantle the foundation of Myanmar’s rule!
The troops from various vassal states, taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's reputation, showed great restraint in the Ming Dynasty.
Just highlight a person who loves the people like a son, and has no fault of his own!
However, after entering the territory of today's Myanmar, the armies of these vassal states all had fun.
When we went out to fight, our military discipline was comparable to that of our Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty.
If you can massacre a city, you won't just plunder, and if you can plunder, you won't let go.
In this regard, Daming's attitude is to turn a blind eye, and it can't do anything if it doesn't want to.
The Ming Dynasty summoned the servant armies of these vassal countries to fight with them, and they must give the other side some benefits.
Furthermore, Zhu Hongyu has no favorable impression of Burma, a white-eyed wolf at all.
Of course, during this process, the coalition forces encountered many encounters with the Burmese army.
The two sides saw each other back and forth in the vast countryside of Upper Myanmar, ambushing and killing each other.
Both sides suffered casualties!
But generally speaking, the coalition side has an absolute advantage.
Occasionally, the Burmese could use their familiarity with the terrain to launch one or two counterattacks, which caused some damage to the armies of the various vassal states, but they could not change the general trend.
What you need to know is that in this battle against Burma, it was not the so-called coalition of vassal states that really carried the banner.
But the Ming Dynasty’s army!
As long as the Ming army's strategy of steadily advancing does not go wrong, no matter how the coalition forces are defeated, it will not affect the overall situation.
…
Looking at a mountain ahead and the Burmese army camp at the foot of the mountain, Wu Shicong put down the telescope in his hand.
He just smiled and then spoke.
"Tsk, these Burmese people are really good at finding places."
"It is backed by a mountain and has an endless supply of water. If there is no shortage of food and grass in the camp, our army will have to use some means if it wants to capture the military camp in front of us."
Just about ten days ago, Wu Shicong led his troops out of Ava and headed west to attack many state capitals west of Ava.
Their troops are all cavalry, and they are also elite riders with one person, two horses or even three horses. They gallop back and forth and can even travel hundreds of miles a day.
In just ten days, Wu Shicong defeated four state capitals in Myanmar, killing thousands of enemies and taking countless prisoners.
However, just when Wu Shicong was preparing to lead his troops to attack Haka, an important town in western Myanmar, he encountered support troops sent by Myanmar in the wild.
Then, there was the current confrontation scene!
Relying on their cavalry superiority, the coalition forces trapped a Burmese army of more than 10,000 people at the foot of a low mountain, forcing them to form a stronghold to protect themselves.
Because as soon as these Burmese people leave the camp, they will be greeted by a cavalry assault by the coalition forces.
It is almost impossible for the infantry to block the cavalry assault without fortifications.
Not every army is a Ming army and can defeat cavalry with foot.
The deputy general next to Wu Shicong heard this and spoke.
"General, the field artillery team assigned to us by Ming Dynasty is about to move into place."
"I believe that when we have field artillery as fire cover, it will not be difficult to capture the camp in front of us."
When Wu Shicong and others joined the coalition fighting, the Ming army would naturally dispatch matching artillery to them to assist in the battle.
The reason why the artillery had to wait for some time to arrive was entirely because Wu Shicong's cavalry advanced too fast.
Although the Ming army's field artillery had good maneuverability, it was still far behind the cavalry.
It wasn't until Wu Shicong surrounded a Burmese reinforcement force in the camp and needed to carry out a critical attack that he had time to stop and wait for the arrival of field artillery.
When Wu Shicong heard this, he nodded and said.
"That makes sense!"
"Give me the order and tell the brothers to divide into three groups and take action!"
"A group of Burmese people are watching over here, don't let them escape."
"The second batch is preparing to build camps and artillery positions on the spot so that the field artillery can be immediately put into battle after the transport of field artillery arrives."
"The third group is going to meet the artillery team and protect the safety of the artillery team to prevent them from being attacked by the Burmese on the road."
"..."
After Wu Shicong finished speaking, everyone around him clasped his hands in agreement.
Then they made their own arrangements.
Groups of elite cavalrymen from the coalition forces appeared outside the Burmese army camp. The cavalrymen showed off their posture wantonly on the backs of their war horses.
From time to time, someone would rush forward on horseback to the outside of the Burmese army camp, and shoot at the enemies in the camp with their bows and arrows.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Arrows flew, and the bowstring vibrated and made a buzzing sound.
In the Burmese army camp, from time to time someone would be hit by an arrow and scream in agony.
As time went by, casualties gradually increased, and panic continued to spread in the Burmese army camp.
The harassment by the coalition cavalry gave the Burmese army a great deterrent.
The Burmese army general Mang Gu stood under the banner, looking at the coalition cavalry outside the camp, sweat dripping from his forehead.
The fear in my heart is spreading like a plague.
The corners of his mouth were twitching continuously, and regret was growing.
It's so good for him to hide in the mountains, why should he come out to reinforce Haka?
Look, it's okay now. Haka failed to reinforce, and the reinforcements he led were blocked by the coalition forces.
Isn’t this a complete idiot!
Although the coalition forces have not officially launched an attack yet, they are only harassing their camp with cavalry.
But it is only a matter of time before we launch an attack!
Manggu could guess that the coalition forces were waiting for the artillery to be delivered.
Once the artillery arrived, it was time for the Ming army to launch an attack.
Once the coalition forces officially launched their attack, Mang Gu was really not sure that he could hold on.
Even if they have mountains at their backs!
"Try to break out and ask for help from Haka!"
Mang Gu opened his mouth and ordered.
Under the current circumstances, staying where you are and confronting the coalition forces would be a slow death.
Under the premise that he was unable to break out of the encirclement, Mang Gu could not think of any other way except sending people out to ask for help.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Burmese army generals stood up and expressed their stance.
"What the general said is true!"
"Yes, as long as reinforcements arrive, our army will be able to defeat the Ming army and successfully break through."
"That's a good statement. The general is willing to lead his troops to break out of the encirclement!"
"..."
Seeing all the generals expressing their opinions like this, Mang Gu opened his mouth and nodded to one of them.
"Pagu, it's up to you to lead the troops and try to break out!"
When Pagu heard this, he cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Then he went to gather the troops.
That night, Pagu led a group of cavalry out of the camp and headed south.
Everyone in this group of cavalry holds a torch, and each torch forms a long dragon, which is quite conspicuous in the dark night.
However, what the Burmese army did not expect was this.
The coalition forces had been guarding against their attack for a long time. The Burmese army's breakout troops had just left the camp when they were attacked by the coalition's elite cavalry.
In the dark night, another long dragon suddenly appeared and charged towards the Burmese army.
A long dragon composed of two torches kept approaching.
The angle between the two parties shows an angle of ninety degrees, and the distance is getting closer and closer.
There was a series of trembling sounds of bowstrings and the sound of musket fire in the darkness.
Then there was a series of shrill screams!
After a period of confusion, one of the fire dragons was almost completely extinguished.
A few scattered torches could not escape far, and were intercepted by the coalition cavalry and eliminated in the dark wilderness.
The sound of horse hooves can be heard faintly!
Mang Gu clenched his fists tightly, his sharp nails piercing into the flesh, and a little blood seeped out.
Looking at the soundless darkness outside his camp, which seemed to be able to swallow everything, his face was gloomy and scary.
"Damn it!"
The Burmese generals around Mang Gu also looked at each other in disbelief, with obvious fear on their faces.
At this moment, everyone could feel the vibration under their feet.
The sound of horse hooves sounded immediately, and groups of coalition cavalry appeared outside the Burmese army camp.
The thick iron armor and the tall and powerful horse rushed out of the darkness, like a god of death wreaking havoc in the night, and appeared in front of everyone.
Amidst the bursts of strange screams, these blood-stained elite knights galloped over and threw the bloody heads into the Burmese army camp.
The head fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.
Seeing the ferocity and unwillingness on the faces, the Burmese soldiers were frightened.
The military morale, which was already turbulent, has now become even more frightening!
Mang Gu looked at the fearful expressions on everyone's faces, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"Now the only choice before us is to stick to the camp and wait for the source!"
"Everyone must pay close attention to digging trenches and building fortresses!"
"..."
…
On the second day, Wu Shicong's cavalry harassed the Burmese army camp for another day.
The rumble of horse hooves has almost become a nightmare for all Burmese soldiers.
On the afternoon of the second day, the artillery team from the coalition finally arrived at the battlefield.
Wu Shicong personally led a team to greet them. What surprised him was that not only the artillery team came to help, but also nearly 3,000 infantrymen.
These three thousand infantrymen were Japanese samurai sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate in the coalition forces.
The man who led the troops was Miyamoto Kazuo, one of the closest confidants of Tokugawa Ietsuna, the contemporary general of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Miyamoto Kazuo came to Wu Shicong and said.
"Wu Jun, please be sure to hand over the important task of this battle to our Japanese samurai!"
"I believe we will defeat the enemy as soon as possible!"
Kazuo Miyamoto took the initiative to ask for a battle.
They came all the way from Japan to the Ming Dynasty, so naturally they wanted to show their bravery and win more say for the shogunate in front of the Ming Dynasty.
After finally encountering a battle, Kazuo Miyamoto would naturally take the initiative to ask for a fight.
When Wu Shicong heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, and then spoke.
"Can!"
"Since Mr. Miyamoto has this intention, I, the general, will naturally not stop it."
Now that the Burmese people have established a stronghold to defend themselves, if they want to attack their stronghold, they will undoubtedly have to fight fortified positions, and casualties will definitely be inevitable.
Since the young samurai offered to take charge of the frontal attack and bear the casualties, Wu Shicong really had no reason to refuse.
"After your side breaks through the camp, our cavalry will attack to ensure maximum destruction of the enemy."
"At that time, half of the military achievements gained will be given to you!"
Wu Shicong promised very generously.
Since Xiaori was willing to take the initiative to bear the casualties, Wu Shicong naturally had to give them some sweeteners.
Compared with the so-called military achievements, Wu Shicong was more concerned about the losses of his Guan Ning cavalry.
Because he knows that these Guan Ning cavalry are the guarantee of his Wu family's throne and wealth, and everything else is empty.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The artillery commander Li Qi on the side also said.
"The artillery force will try its best to provide fire cover for the attacking troops in order to reduce casualties."
After saying that, he turned around and arranged for his field artillery to enter the predetermined gun positions.
Moreover, the coalition field gunners also began to prepare for the test firing.
The gunners skillfully calibrated the shooting elements, and the shells and propellants were ready in advance.
After a night of repairs, the coalition forces officially launched a fierce attack on the Burmese army camp facing them.
As is the old rule, the first to speak is the field artillery in the coalition forces.
"ignition."
"emission."
With shouts and shouts, the shelling began.
Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery shelling, shells flew towards the Burmese army position in front of them.
The artillery shells hit the wooden fence and antlers of the Burmese army camp mercilessly, and the defenses were continuously destroyed.
The cannonballs hit the parapet, causing dents in the parapet.
If solid bullets are used to deter unnecessary killing, then the killing effect of blooming bullets is much stronger.
Amidst bursts of roaring sounds, explosive bombs exploded outside the Burmese army's camp.
Fire and shock waves tore apart fortifications, and the fragments caused casualties to personnel.
Amid the roar, in just the blink of an eye, a large hole was torn open in the Burmese army's camp.
Near the torn hole, corpses in different forms of death were lying.
The smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke was very pungent.
The Burmese soldiers hiding behind the fortifications got into a mess, scurrying away with their heads in their hands and screaming in agony.
Seeing this scene, Miyamoto Kazuo led his team and jumped out of the trench and shouted.
"Kill the cock!"
Then he personally led the people and rushed forward.
Under the leadership of Miyamoto Kazuo, each Japanese samurai shouted to kill and charged forward like a dense ant colony.
Li Qi ordered in an unsteady manner.
"Prepare for bombardment!"
"beat!"
The rhythm of the coalition's artillery fire suddenly changed.
The original salvo fire was changed to progressive artillery fire.
The impact point of the artillery shells continued to move forward as the coalition infantry charged.
Although the artillery of the Ming army and the warriors of Xiaori had not trained together before, the cooperation between the two sides was not smooth. The progressive shelling occasionally caused accidental injuries to the warriors of Xiaori who were charging.
But compared to the suppression caused to the enemy, such a small amount of accidental damage is completely acceptable.
Wu Shicong was riding on horseback, and behind him were nearly a thousand Guan Ning cavalry.
Nearly a thousand Guan Ning's cavalry stood on horseback, with fierce expressions on their faces.
They drew the sabers from their waists and held bows and arrows in their hands. As long as Wu Shicong gave the order, they would jump into the battlefield at any time.
Wu Shicong looked at the battlefield with a complicated expression on his face.
I was frightened by the Ming army’s bombardment!
Although the progressive bombardment adopted by the Ming army seems simple, it seems that it can be achieved by adjusting the firing angle and charge of the artillery in an orderly manner.
However, this tactic is an extremely strict test for the gunner.
If you are not a skilled gunner, you must have a commander with sufficient quality to take charge of the command, which is absolutely impossible.
Now Wu Shicong is starting to look forward to the gunners that Daming helped Wu Zhou train for them!
…
Accompanied by the sound of shelling, the Japanese samurai successfully entered the Burmese army camp.
The Burmese army fought back, and the bowstrings trembled continuously!
Covered by a wave of arrows, the Japanese samurai who rushed into the Burmese army camp were shot into hedgehogs.
He fell to the ground, wailing incessantly.
Then there were bursts of neat volleys of gunfire!
Amidst the crackling gunfire, those Japanese samurai fell down in large pieces again.
If Kazuo Miyamoto had not quietly retreated to the second line with his men, he might have been killed by the Burmese army just now.
Under the guidance of military instructors from the West, the Burmese army also quietly practiced the tactic of queuing to kill.
It's just a pity that these Burmese soldiers overestimated themselves and underestimated the life-threatening little warriors on the opposite side.
When the soldiers of the Burmese army were still almost two hundred meters away from them, they could not bear the pressure and pulled the triggers one after another, firing the first salvo.
At such a long distance, the killing effect is not ideal.
However, not long after, after the distance between the two sides was reduced to a hundred meters, the Burmese army fired a second round of volleys.
The distance was shortened to nearly half, and the killing effect doubled.
These young warriors left a large number of corpses on their charge.
However, this did not stop the onboard charge of those Japanese samurai.
Under the volley of guns of the Burmese army, although these young warriors suffered some casualties, the accuracy of the muskets can only be said to be understood.
The charge of the samurai in the small days is still going on!
Countless people rushed forward one after another, holding samurai swords and white ribbons tied on their heads, shouting loudly and charging forward.
Facing these short but extremely ferocious Japanese samurai, the Burmese soldiers were unable to fire a third salvo after firing their second salvo.
Some soldiers were so frightened by the charge of the Japanese samurai that their hands and feet trembled and they could not finish loading at all.
Some soldiers slumped on the ground with pale faces, shocked by the Japanese samurai's fearlessness of death. He threw the musket aside and let out a wailing sound.
Seeing this scene, the Burmese army commander had no choice but to order his soldiers to shoot freely.
Trying to shoot more projectiles through free fire to prevent those crazy Japanese samurai from continuing to charge!
However, as a result, the Burmese army's musketeers caused more trouble.
Someone stuffed the purge rod into the barrel of the gun, pulled the trigger, and shot the purge rod out.
When I want to reload and shoot, I can't find the connection bar.
Someone was so nervous that he loaded the gun twice before pulling the trigger, and then the gun exploded.
What's more, they only loaded gunpowder into the gun chamber and forgot to load the projectiles. Although the shooting was lively, the gun was always empty.
Just when the Burmese army was in chaos, the warriors from the small days rushed forward.
Directly poured into the Burmese army's array!
In those young days, samurai wielded samurai swords and cut down anyone they saw.
The sharp samurai sword can even cut a person in half!
Some Burmese soldiers held up their muskets with bayonets and tried to resist, wanting to fight the Japanese samurai with their bayonets.
However, due to insufficient training and trembling when facing the enemy, they were no match for those Japanese samurai with superb martial arts skills.
There was a flash of sword light, and some Burmese soldiers were cut in half with their guns.
Chaos spreads like a plague!
In just a moment, under the charge of this group of Japanese samurai, the chaos in the Burmese army turned into a rout.
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, Mang Gu wanted to lead his guards forward to stop the defeat of his own army.
However, it doesn't work at all!
When the army is defeated like a mountain, a few elites are unable to restore the defeat on the battlefield and on the battlefield.
These so-called elites will only be overwhelmed by a large number of defeated soldiers.
Miyamoto Kazuo swung his sword to chop off the head of a Burmese soldier, and then saw the Burmese army general Mang Gu who wanted to prevent the defeated army from continuing to collapse and save the situation.
He took his trusted warriors with him and killed Mang Gu.
"Kill!"
"Kill the cock!"
"Kill all the enemies!"
"..."
Kazuo Miyamoto clenched the katana in his hand, his eyes extremely sharp.
He led his men to kill Mang Gu. The samurai sword in his hand reflected the cold light under the sun.
A group of Japanese samurai followed closely and also rushed forward.
Soon, the two sides collided.
Miyamoto Kazuo struck a Burmese general on the opposite side with his sword, but the other man blocked with his sword.
There is a crisp sound of clang, gold and iron clash!
Miyamoto Kazuo suddenly withdrew the strength in his hand, then closed the knife and slashed towards the waist and abdomen of the Burmese general on the opposite side.
The Burmese general on the opposite side was once again forced to respond, taking several steps back while holding up his sword to resist.
The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded again!
Faced with Miyamoto Kazuo's pressing steps, sweat gradually began to form on the forehead of the Burmese army general.
At the same time, the soldiers around Mang Gu also suffered heavy casualties due to the desperate fighting of a group of Japanese samurai, and were constantly pressed back.
The artillery in the coalition forces is still extending the bombardment!
The firing range continued to move deeper into the Burmese army's camp, using shelling to intensify the collapse of the Burmese army bit by bit.
Finally, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard.
Miyamoto Kazuo tried his best to cut off the head of the Burmese army general opposite him despite his wounds.
And Mang Gu also began to retreat continuously under the protection of the remaining soldiers.
His face was full of visible panic and fear.
The great fear made his legs and feet weak, and he could only walk when he was supported by others.
At the same time, with the sound of a horn, the Guan Ning cavalry led by Wu Shicong entered the scene.
These Guan Ning cavalry came on horseback, holding swords and bows, full of murderous intent.
They rushed straight into the Burmese army camp, then bent their bows and arrows, and started playing horseback shooting.
Guan Ning's army's cavalry and shooting skills were very strong, even better than those of the Ming army's cavalry.
To a certain extent, the Guan Ning Cavalry is definitely one of the strongest cavalry units on earth at the same time in this era!
The reason why the Ming army's cavalry was able to suppress Guan Ning's army was entirely due to the cooperation of its own infantry and its own excellent armaments.
If both sides engage in a cavalry battle using the same weapons and equipment and the same number of troops, the Ming army will most likely lose.
However, if there were not so many ifs and the cavalry from both sides were in battle formation, the Ming army would definitely win in the end.
The cavalry skills of the Ming army's cavalry were indeed just passable and not very good, but it didn't matter that the Ming army was well prepared.
Relying on luxurious weapons and equipment, they evened out their disadvantages in riding and shooting skills. This is the Ming army.
In war, what is needed is to be unscrupulous and use weapons to bully the enemy without losing face.
It's really embarrassing to be unable to defeat the enemy!
