Chapter 49                                                             �

The truly dense jungle is simply airtight. Even when walking alone, you will walk with a hatchet or an axe.

Therefore, the place where the two sides fought was actually just a few passages in the jungle.

Some of these passages are naturally formed, and are small streams that wind in the jungle, rushing through the dense vegetation and opening up the road.

There are also some channels that are not formed naturally.

But it was not created by people.

The person who really opened these paths was the elephant.

As the largest terrestrial animal on earth, elephants are the overlords in the jungle.

No matter what kind of beast, they dare not provoke elephants easily.

Other animals avoided the jungle, but the elephant forced the jungle to make way for him. Wherever they passed, all the trees were knocked down.

It has opened up a path so hard.

This is the road of elephant.

It is also the most convenient road through the jungle.

It is also one of the key points of the two sides' competition.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the silent elephant path. Above the elephant path, there were also ripples in the puddles where elephant foot was displayed everywhere.

But someone was marching.

But this group of people did not walk on the Elephant Road, but on both sides of the Elephant Road.

A straw hat and straw raincoat are the same as the color of the jungle.

If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see it.

In the distance, several native Burmese people were venting winds on high places.

You can only see this elephant path from afar. Apart from this, you can’t see anything, and you can’t see if anyone is sneaking in the jungle.

However, they all believed that the Ming army could not do this.

Things that seem very ordinary are very challenging to live experience and discipline in the jungle.

Without experience in the jungle, it is impossible to travel in the jungle. Without strict discipline, it is impossible to encounter all kinds of things, such as poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, etc., without making any sound.

And neither of these two Ming troops did.

Although the Tusi Army had rich experience in the jungle, it did not have strict discipline. However, the Ming Army did not have the ability to sneak into the jungle.

Therefore, the Burmese people only need to watch these jungle paths to control the Ming army's attack.

There is no open open space in the jungle. Only one or two thousand people can block these paths.

And at this moment, their expectations were completely broken.

After a short and intense battle.

The blood in the jungle was not cleaned up, and these Burmese soldiers died under their straw hats and straw raincoats.

This scene happened not only in one place, but in dozens of places.

Almost a moment.

The Burmese army turned deaf and blind.

Losing control over the current situation.

Almost for a moment, I don’t know where the enemy came from, how the enemy came from? I don’t know where the enemy has come from.

The Burmese immediately sent troops to penetrate into the jungle.

At this time, Ming Jun no longer had to hide it, and the hats on his head were all replaced with red.

This red color is particularly conspicuous in the jungle, as conspicuous as blood.

The Burmese generals had no idea what was going on, but just a tribe of troops in the jungle, silently without any reaction.

This situation is like the Ming army's feelings about the battle in the jungle.

I just feel that these dense jungles are all meat-eating monsters and never spit bones.

Finally, some of the remaining soldiers were gathered and repeatedly asked about the situation. The people were still shocked and speechless, and kept saying: "It was the person with blood on his head who killed it, not the evil ghost with blood on his head, but the evil ghost."

I can't ask any details.

It only made the general furious, ordered him to pull him down and whip him, and scolded, "Bad."

It’s just that you should scold me, but this situation still needs to be clarified.

He also wanted to send someone to find out the situation, but he heard someone from outside report it. The enemy was coming.

The general stood on the camp and looked over, but saw countless people coming to the camp in large areas of waist-high bushes outside the camp.

Quiet, silent.

I saw shaking red hats.

A fierce battle burst out almost instantly.

Because there was not enough space, even though it was a camp of the Myanmar Army, there were still various trees. From the beginning, there was no formation at all in this war.

And this kind of battle is more tragic than ordinary battle formations.

Fight closely together, never give in.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the Ming army won the final victory.

Liu Chang came over with a dozen guards. He stepped on the blood circulating everywhere, looking at the northwest direction, the mountains faintly, and the other side was the direction of Luchuan.

Because the Ming army was not adapted to jungle warfare, the Myanmar army could hold the Ming army in the jungle with a very small force. Even if they encountered pressure, they would be enough to mobilize troops from the rear.

But I never expected that the Red Li Army suddenly exerted its force and directly broke all the defenses in the southeast of Luchuan, and had reached the periphery of Luchuan defense circle.

Liu Chang called three battalions of Hongli Army, namely Mo Dengyong, Chen Zhen and Zheng Wei.

Among these three people, Mo Dengyong was the most trusted by Liu Chang, and there was no other reason, because although Mo Dengyong was from Jiaozhi, he had no relationship with the Later Li Dynasty.

Mo Dengyong claimed that his ancestors were the top scholar in the Chen Dynasty, but that was too far away. Chen Zhen and Zheng Yizhi were both ministers of the Later Li Dynasty. There was nothing we could do about this.

After all, the social structure of the Annan Dynasty was similar to that of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in China.

The aristocratic families have great power. These aristocratic families are probably Li, Chen, Ruan, and Zheng. Even the Ming army killed all the people in the openly sected family.

Their descendants still occupy a special position in Jiaozhi Province.

Some people even passed the Jinshi exam in these twenty years.

Although as the general of Jiaozhi, he had to use such a person, he had to be more vigilant. Therefore, Liu Chang valued Mo Dengyong, who had no burden in his family.

Liu Chang summoned these generals and saw that they were full of blood. It was obvious that they were fighting on the front line and were still breathing. But the soldiers were very fast and said, "I will report to the court for your achievements today. The court will not treat the meritorious ministers unfairly. But now the soldiers are very fast. I hope you will continue to work hard, make new contributions, and rush straight to the city of Luchuan."

"Yes." The three generals gritted their teeth slightly, and could only agree and said.

Liu Chang said: "Don't worry, just attack another wave, and the army behind you will be able to repair it."

Although it was difficult to march in the jungle, the Ming army could still pass without the enemy's obstacles. It was just a little slower.

To be honest, Liu Chang did not expect that the Red Li Army was fighting in the jungle so sharply, and this would be a new deal. If the Red Li Army of the Later Li Dynasty relied on the jungle to compete with the Ming army, it would probably have troubled the Ming army a lot.

It’s just a pity that when the Li Dynasty was prosperous, it learned from success and failure to learn from the Ming Dynasty.

From political formations to specific policies, the Later Li Dynasty imitated the Ming Dynasty, making the Later Li Dynasty far surpass other Southeast Asian countries in organizational capabilities. This is the fundamental reason why the Later Li Dynasty became the most powerful country in Southeast Asian countries.

But he was defeated.

It is precisely because they all studied the Ming Dynasty that the foundation of the Later Li Dynasty was also on the farming land in the Red River Delta, so it was impossible to really discard these lands to drill into the jungle.

This also made this group of elite soldiers fight on the battlefield that was not suitable for them.

"Lord Xie is grateful to you," said Mo Dengyong.

He was both excited and disappointed.

Since the Ming Dynasty destroyed Annan Interchange Province, the remaining residents of the Li family have been under suppression.

Even the Annan generals who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty were dismissed from their idle positions.

When the Ming Dynasty's rule in Jiaozhi became more and more stable, most of the late Li remnants no longer wanted to restore the country, but thought about how to make a name for themselves under the Ming Dynasty.

How could the Annan general climb up when there was no one above him?

This time the formation of the Red Li Army opened a gap slightly, allowing these generals to see hope.

Although he intended to continue to participate in the war, he also knew that for this victory, the Hongli Army had been greatly injured. He proved his strength in the Ming army, but he was unable to continue fighting.

The great contribution of rescuing Prince Xiang was no longer the same as them.

That is the real decisive battle.
