Chapter 32                                                             �

In fact, it cannot be said that the Burmese army has no rules.

After all, Myanmar is also an ancient country, and it also has its own style of fighting for war, but their style of fighting is far from being in front of the Ming army.

It is even less than that of the Luchuan Army back then.

If you fight in a field in a jungle in southern Xinjiang, you may not be able to fight back and forth with the Ming Dynasty.

Myanmar in this era had large primitive jungles. The Ming Dynasty's fighting methods in the plains were difficult to adapt to, and it was difficult to deploy troops in many places.

But under Luchuan City, facing such a strong city, I sighed.

The Myanmar King Awa attacked several times under Luchuan City. All of them were suffering heavy casualties and could not reach the city wall at all.

Under such circumstances, King Ava summoned all the generals to discuss the war strategy.

King Ava said, "Who is willing to break through Luchuan City for me?"

A burst of elegant silence.

As mentioned above, many Southeast Asian countries are an evolutionary version of the tribal alliance, and the same is true for the Ava dynasty. There are serious differences between local power and central power.

However, Awa, where King Awa, is located in Mandalay, Myanmar in later generations, was the second largest city in Myanmar even in later generations. In this era, it was far surpassed in Bogu and other places, and it was the most prosperous place in Myanmar.

It is precisely because of this that King Ava, who controls Ava, has the strength to overwhelm the local princes.

However, even so, for local princes, their troops are their own capital.

King Ava would not allow his direct troops to participate in this kind of hard battle. However, the local princes were unwilling to fight such a war of tragic death.

King Ava said, "Are there no warriors in our country?"

Seeing that King Awa was about to get angry, an old monk spoke, and he said, "King, Luchuan City cannot be attacked hard, but can only be taken by wisdom."

Myanmar is a Buddhist country, and even the king respects monks very much. King Ava said: "Master, how should we be smart?"

The old monk said, "This matter hurts the heavens."

King Ava said, "Master, it's okay to say anything. I will bear it all. I can't bear to die in vain."

The old monk said, "Stop it, king, I see Luchuan City is a majestic city, extremely strong, but there is only one shortcoming."

King Ava said, "What are the shortcomings?"

The old monk said, "Water."

King Ava looked at Luchuan outside, which was the Ruilijiang River in later generations.

This river flows into the Jinsha River from Yunnan. This Jinsha River was the name of the time, which is the Irrawaddy River in later generations.

The entire Luchuan Basin is alluvialized by Luchuan between the two mountains, and the irrigation water source in the Luchuan Basin also comes from Luchuan.

Therefore, Luchuan City is located in the center of Luchuan Basin, that is, on the banks of Luchuan River.

King Ava thought about it, but he didn't understand what to do for a moment?

Water cut?

No.

Although the drinking water in Luchuan City is divided into a tributary from the Luchuan River, it can be cut off, but it is not the northwest, nor North China, but the southern border.

It is wet and rainy. If you dig a few meters under your feet, water will come out, and you don’t even need to dig a well at all. Rainwater alone is enough to replenish it.

Therefore, it is useless to cut off the water source of Luchuan City.

The old monk said: "The water flooded Luchuan City."

King Ava heard these five words and felt aroused in his heart and said to himself: "Okay."

First of all, Luchuan City is in a basin. Although it is not the bottom of the basin, it is also a relatively low place. Moreover, the climate here is humid and rainy, and there is also a Luchuan River.

Just build an embankment outside Luchuan City to surround Luchuan City, cut off Luchuan River, and continuously pour the river water into the city. One day Luchuan City will not be able to withstand the bubbles.

It would be enough for the military and civilians in Luchuan to drink a pot without even waiting for that day.

Of course, this is just a solution.

You can also build a dam from the upstream, and wait for the water level to rise artificially and directly impact Luchuan City. It is also a way.

Please do not doubt the Burmese water engineering technology.

Awa City, which is the Mandalay City area in later generations, was spared from floods because of water conservancy projects and became the largest city in Myanmar.

Under such circumstances, the Burmese are naturally very proficient in water conservancy.

Of course, it may not be better than the accumulation of the Ming water conservancy projects.

However, with the current geographical location of Luchuan City, the technical difficulty of Guanluchuan City is not high. Almost three schools divided the Zhibo Guan Zhao family in the Jin Dynasty.

It is normal for the Han people to master the technology one or two thousand years ago.

King Ava closed his hands together and said, "Sincere, sin, but in order to preach the Dharma, I have to uphold the heart of the Bodhisattva and use thunder means."

King Awa also said a few words in a hypocritical way, but other Burmese generals did not hide anything.

They were happy and said, "The King is merciful. But this generation is stubborn and will be punished by God."

"Your Majesty, this matter is a bit difficult." A general said: "It's too long, I haven't made a careful estimate, but I think it will take several months even if all the troops take action together, let alone the Ming army is not very powerful in the city, and the Ming army in Yunnan has also begun to take action."

"This---" King Ava couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

This time, his northern expedition was not to fight the Ming Dynasty, but to stabilize the north so that he could free up his hands. He went south to sweep away Baigu and Dongshu and establish the second unified dynasty in the history of Myanmar.

Now in terms of strategic situation, he actually has a dilemma.

Luchuan terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If Luchuan is pulled out, the Ming army will go south and conquer Luchuan first.

However, to attack Luchuan, you must attack from the remaining line of Hengduan Mountains.

What kind of terrain is the Hengduan Mountains? It can be said that they are all straight up and down mountains. One man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Meng Ying attacked Luchuan, which led the Luchuan army to go east and was destroyed in one fell swoop, chased and chased north, so there were no major casualties. However, in history, Wang Ji pacified Luchuan, but suffered heavy casualties.

It has been attacked for several consecutive years.

Some people even say that one of the reasons for the Tumu Fort change in history was that the elites of the Ming Dynasty Jingying suffered too many losses in the mountains of Luchuan, and their energy was severely damaged and they did not recover at all.

King Ava took a fancy to the terrain of Luchuan. As long as he could defend Luchuan, it would be impossible for a large army to go south until the Ming Dynasty conquered Luchuan.

However, Luchuan City is stuck here, making King Ava feel that he cannot go up and down.

King Ava thought for a moment and knew that he had no choice.

The arrow was drawn without turning back. At this moment, he had seriously offended the Ming Dynasty and did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would have thought that nothing had happened. In this way, he could only fight with the Ming Dynasty in Luchuan.

If the Ming army in Yunnan could be severely damaged in one fell swoop, it would give the Awa dynasty more time.

King Ava said, "I have decided to fight the Ming army here. The army is divided into three parts. One part is watching Luchuan City, one part blocks the building of a dam, and the other part moves out to guard various mountain passes and wait for the Ming army to attack in large numbers."

At the order of King Awa, the Myanmar army began.

The work started together was not only the Burmese army, but also a large number of prisoners, conscripted civilians, and these people were there, and the matter of blocking rivers and storing water was greatly accelerated.

However, there is nothing wrong with one thing.

Luchuan City is such a big city. If you want to artificially raise the water level and flood Luchuan City, it is a project with a particularly large amount of earthwork. Even if so many people take action, it will not be completed in one or two months.

This posture is completely unfolded, and there is no possibility of confidentiality at all.

Fang Ying immediately saw what the Burmese army wanted to do.

But he had no choice but to join the Xiangwang Army with a large number of strong men with 20,000 backbone forces. It would be good if he could defend the city, but it would be impossible for field battles.

If elite troops are drawn to fight in the field, it will be fine if the victory is lost. Once it is defeated, it will have a great impact on the morale of the King Xiang army.

Fang Ying could only watch and sent death-death soldiers all the way, risking to break out of the encirclement and asking for help from the Ming army in Yunnan.

Because Fang Ying judged the progress of the Myanmar army.

Half a year.

Luchuan City only has half a year.

Half a year later, the rainy season came, and the floods roared down, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luchuan City were all fish and turtles.

By then, even if Fang Ying saves tens of thousands of stones in the city, he will be unable to make up for it with all kinds of means.
