Chapter 241 The Battle of Northern Myanmar (Please subscribe!)

"What, my son Zhao Hongcan and Xia Shouhao's 7,000-strong army were defeated?"

When Zhao Liangdong, who was in Mubang, heard the news, he still felt incredible.

"This is impossible, isn't it fake news?" The first thing that came to Zhao Liangdong's mind was this possibility.

But Yu Qijun, the second son-in-law who served as deputy general, told him clearly, "No, father-in-law, Hongcan was indeed defeated by the Ming army. Hongcan was defeated by the Ming army's ambush. The Ming army was indeed like my father-in-law."

As I thought, there were not many troops. It is said that after the Ming army destroyed Burma and conquered Siam, they also recruited those Burmese and Siamese to fight with the army, and the momentum was not small."

Zhao Liangdong was in great pain. The life and death of his beloved eldest son Zhao Hongcan was unknown. As a father, who could not feel heartbroken?

But he is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and he cannot let the news about his son affect his judgment as the commander-in-chief.

His expression was very serious, "If this is the case, it will be a little troublesome."

While Zhao Hongcan was deep in thought, his third son-in-law Zhang Yunyi also hurried into his tent.

Zhang Yunyi was the son of Zhang Yong, one of the four Han generals in Hexi. If Zhu Kezang had not crossed over, he would have been named the Fujian Land Admiral in 1686.

It has to be said that Zhao Liangdong's sons and sons-in-law have many talents.

"Father-in-law, spies have come to report that the remaining soldiers of the False Prosecution Corps have appeared in Larong, eighty miles away from Mubang. They have set up camp there, and it seems they are going to confront us."

Since the rise of the Guards, towns such as Yongwei Town, Guards Town, Zuowuwei Town, and Youwuwei Town have all become second-line troops, with almost no opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

To be honest, from Zhao Liangdong's point of view, the Ming army on the opposite side is actually weak, but its real fighting force is only a quarter of the Qing army. However, the Ming army has formed a formation in front of the Qing army. It seems that they are going to fight with the Qing army.

It's a decisive battle.

"Although the Ming army had support from Burma and Siam, it was by no means as powerful as the Qing Dynasty. Instead of defending the city of Ava, they went to Larong to confront us. This makes people think there is something wrong."

Huang Qing nodded, stroked his beard and smiled. He seemed very relaxed. He picked up his telescope and observed the Qing army on the opposite side. He said, "Then let's wait for the Tatar Qing to attack."

Zhang Yunyi had a bad temper. After reporting, he said directly: "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? My father-in-law led 50,000 troops into Burma. He was bound to win. He actually set up a battle array and tried to force the bridge and the horse."

The earth is confronting me, the Qing Dynasty, because I really feel that my life is not short enough."

Being born in Yongwei Town, he cherishes his status as Guards Guards Town Supervisor.

Huang Qing finally made the decision to fight the Tatars in the field, and no one raised any objections.

The Qing Dynasty could rise so quickly because of this trick.

Since he studied the "Dongning Infantry Drill Code" at the Ming Dynasty Imperial Military Academy, he combined his own experience and corroborated the various contents in the drill code, and gradually gained understanding.

The confrontation lasted for several more days. Because Huang Qing deliberately leaked the news, Zhao Hongcan was captured alive by the Ming Dynasty. There were only more than 10,000 guards in the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were Burmese soldiers. The news about the Siamese soldiers was learned by Zhao Liangdong.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Zhao Liangdong continued to ask, "Qijun, what's going on with the spies we sent among the remnants of the False Ming Dynasty?"

"yes!"

The fifth town of Jinwei had just been established for a year. Facing a Qing army that was several times larger than our own, the top and bottom staff were full of confidence.

He was able to take charge of the Fifth Guards Town only because he was the first to thoroughly understand the "Dongning Infantry Training Code".

The Qing army has been fighting for many years. In the past, whether they were dealing with the old Ming army or Wu Sangui's troops, they were accustomed to using various benefits to win over unscrupulous enemy generals and make them defect before the battle.

Chen Mengwei said: "No problem, Huangguan Town, our army has been preparing day and night for the past few days, and we are working together to eliminate the Tatars in front of us in one fell swoop."

The second son-in-law, Yu Qijun, said: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks there must be something fishy about this matter."

The battlefield is a large open plain, with the remnants of the Puppet Ming Dynasty backed by the small town of Larong.

Zhao Liangdong was also looking across from a distance at this time. He frowned, as if he wanted to know what the Ming army was doing.

He observed that battlefield fortifications had been set up on the Puppet Ming side, and anti-horse antlers had been set up in front of the formation.

In his opinion, the Burmese and Siamese soldiers were just local chickens and dogs, and only the 10,000 Ming troops needed to be feared.

Zhao Liangdong said with a serious face: "Qi Juan, Yun Yi, and the remnants of the false Ming Dynasty dare to provoke our Qing heavenly soldiers. There must be a problem. For the current plan, we should not be provoked by the remnants of the false Ming Dynasty. We should find out their true and false intentions before taking action."

"

Zhao Liangdong was eager to save his son, and the Ming army only had more than 10,000 soldiers. Zhao Liangdong finally couldn't hold it anymore, because in his heart, he didn't think that the Ming army of more than 10,000 people could really defeat him. They were not Eight Banners heavenly soldiers.

Absolutely invincible.

Zhao Liangdong felt that the first possibility was more likely. This Ming army should not be underestimated, so he put away his previous contempt.

In the Larong Camp of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Qing was inspecting the Ming army's final combat preparations.

On the Guards side, the atmosphere among all the soldiers was rather grim.

Although the Ming Guards were a rising star, Emperor Zhu Kezang's many training methods were quite sophisticated, various tactics emerged one after another, and everyone's morale was high, giving Huang Qing full confidence to win.

Zhao Liangdong personally led an army of more than 40,000 people and arrived at Larong.

At this time, he considered the Ming Guards to be the most elite force he had led since joining the army.

"My son-in-law thinks that either the remnant of the False Ming Dynasty feels that he has great reliance, or the remnant of the False Ming Dynasty wants to rely on the power of a small victory to have a decisive battle with me, the Qing Dynasty, and die with honor."

Chen Mengwei is the eldest son of Prime Minister Chen Yonghua. He serves as the imperial trainer in the fifth town, similar to the supervisory army, but mainly does ideological work.

Huang Qing asked Chen Mengwei: "Mengwei, have our deployment been completed?"

Yu Qijun said: "Father-in-law, our espionage operation this time was quite unfavorable. This remnant of the pseudo-Ming Dynasty has changed a lot. It is completely different from the Ming army we encountered in the past. Many of our people were killed when they were not close to the Ming army.

He has been discovered and executed, and the Ming army's vigilance and defense are completely different from before."

It would indeed be good if it could be used by Zhu Kezang.

Although the Ming army's main soldiers were not large in number, their flanks were fully protected, with many heavy infantry and spearmen.

In order to open a path for the cavalry to charge, Zhao Liangdong ordered his son-in-law Yu Qijun and his second son Zhao Hongxie to lead the Qing infantry to attack and break the enemy's horse-rejection formation. At the same time, he also ordered the army to squeeze the Ming army on both wings, creating a massive pressure.

Zhang Yunyi looked at the Qing army's powerful force and praised it: "After this battle, Burma will be determined. My father-in-law will be remembered in history, and his achievements are as good as the sun and the moon!"

Zhao Liangdong was also very satisfied. He twirled his long beard with his hands and felt comfortable.
