Chapter 59 The attacker of Luchuan died in Luchuan

Ming Jun used some jerky meat and clean water.

Stepping on the drum beats again, lined up the neat drum beats, and moving forward slowly.

Under the command of King Awa, the Burmese army dug trenches at the fortress, but they did not want to dig trenches, but wanted to build a low wall. This short wall was enough to allow many Burmese people to avoid the shooting of muskets.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi snorted coldly.

But the order flag was waving, the Ming army's musket soldiers retreated, and the spear soldiers and swords and shields were mixed in front, and the musket soldiers were behind.

This forms a completely melee formation.

Although it means that there are not too many times when fighting in the army in hand and hand, everyone knows that face-to-face fighting is the foundation of a strong army.

It is because of the firearms of this era, and there are too many restrictions.

At critical moments, soldiers also need to draw their swords.

King Awa was overjoyed when he saw this. When the Ming army was dozens of steps away from the Burmese army, he shouted and actually led the team to rush over.

The reason why King Ava is like this is certainly because King Ava is unwilling to do anything in his heart, and it is another reason, that is, the morale of the Burmese army is deteriorating. Without King Ava as the leader, no one dares to rush forward.

However, even if King Ava rushed in front, there were a large number of guards protecting King Ava in the center.

"Kill." The Ming army soldiers were killed with the Burmese army.

Fortunately, the width here is limited and the contact surface between the two sides is also limited. Even though the number of soldiers in the Myanmar Army is still more than twice that of the Ming Army.

Burmese people cannot show their strength even if they have the strength.

However, there are so many people who are brave enough, and with King Ava in front, they are a little anxious for a while.

In the Ming army's training system, the battle was highly valued, but after all, no one dared to fight the Ming formation for many years, and was caught off guard by the Burmese counterattack.

But soon, he stabilized his position. The spear was like a forest, and as a barrier, the sword and shield hand was pressed down, almost half-squatted, and under the spear, he was close to the Burmese.

As the saying goes, a spear can assassinate the enemy by one inch long and a spear is more than a meter away, but it is inconvenient to turn around, and it is even impossible to turn around.

The most feared thing is that someone is close to each other. At that time, he could only throw away the spear in his hand and pull out the close to each other to fight.

The sword and shield hand prevents this from pressing down the array before the spear and preventing someone from coming from coming from below.

This is actually the simplest formation, but the Ming army's strict military discipline and proper cooperation with each other is something that the Burmese cannot do. The scattered Burmese army is like a sea wolf hitting a rock and instantly cracking into pieces.

Of course, under such circumstances, the first large-scale casualties of the Ming army also occurred.

After all, both sides are in close contact, and in a state where people are crowded on the battlefield, it is difficult to ensure that there is no harm at all. Even without enemies, there may be accidental injuries between one's own people.

After the Ming army stabilized its formation.

The musketeers stepped forward one after another, and they were behind the spearman, raising the musketeers at the enemies who were nowhere near to one meter apart.

It is true that the accuracy of the musket has always been a big problem to be solved.

It is probably impossible to solve the problem before the rifle is rifled.

But no matter how bad the head of this musket is, there is no problem with this kind of fighting style that is almost on the face.

In addition, there are also crowds on the opposite side, and even if you miss it, you will definitely win.

The only thing I worry about is not to hit my own people.

So at this time, we will not force a volley. Let the musketeer perform freely.

So the sound of the musket is waiting for scattered stars. It is very irregular.

But this power is not inferior to a volley.

And it is even more casualty morale.

When facing the volley of muskets, most of the Myanmar troops were twenty or thirty steps away. Although they could see the situation on the opposite side, many details were not clear.

At this moment, everything could be seen clearly at a distance of less than three meters.

He saw that he raised his musket toward him, and he could see it, and lit the fuse on the opposite side, and even saw bullets shot out.

There are few people who have the courage to watch themselves die.

But on the battlefield, there are not only people in front of you, but also in large numbers behind you.

It's not something he can retreat just if he wants to.

At that time, the people behind watched the people in front of him be shot at such close distance, so they had no courage to continue moving forward.

All the warriors were dead, and those who survived were cowards.

I don't know who started, but I just turned around and ran away.

The last courage of the Burmese people was also consumed completely.

Then a sound of drums came. More than a thousand Ming cavalry appeared on the battlefield again. Facing the fleeing enemy, Xu Tai knew very well what to do.

They would not have room to stay, and more than a thousand cavalry drove tens of thousands of defeated soldiers and headed towards the Luchuan River not far away.

Xu Tai swept across thousands of troops like a sweeping mat.

There are at least tens of thousands of people in the Myanmar army. Even when they were just fighting, many of them were just waving flags and shouting, and they did not fight with the Ming army at all.

It was the former army who collapsed at this moment.

There is also the possibility of revitalizing the situation. Xu Tai wants to drive away the defeated soldiers, attack the Myanmar's main formation, and break through all the Burmese military formations in one fell swoop.

When the army loses its organization, it is really not as good as the same number of pigs on the battlefield.

King Ava can do nothing at this moment.

This counterattack was already very forced.

After withdrawing from Luchuan, the morale of the Myanmar army was not high. If it weren't for the belief in going home, the previous war might not have been able to fight.

One drum will bring you down, two will lose, and three will exhaust.

Morale is always raised, not motivated.

Now the Myanmar army has no morale at all, and it has been overdrawn by King Awa long ago.

King Ava had only more than a hundred guards around him. Even if the defeated soldiers saw King Ava, they would take it as if they had not seen it, and ran away.

King Ava also seems to have three souls and seven spirits gone.

He was taken away by the guard in a daze.

But suddenly I couldn't walk anymore.

The reason is very simple, Luchuan is in front of them.

After a day, several battles were fought, the Ming army advanced more than ten miles eastward from Mysson and had reached the Luchuan River.

The Luchuan River channel is heading north here. In terms of the entire terrain, the Luchuan River channel only blocks half of their escape route. A little south is the original southern bank of Luchuan. From here, you can escape all the way to Luchuan City.

But in the messy place, there is no ability to distinguish directions, at least thousands of people were driven here.

How should everyone go?

But there was a riot behind, but the Ming cavalry was driving them away, and the muskets, bows and arrows were greeting the Burmese soldiers who had escaped the slowest.

The people behind no matter what happened to the people ahead, they could only keep rushing forward.

The people in front seemed to have some cleverness, and immediately jumped into the river and swam towards the opposite side.

After all, Myanmar is rich in rain, and most Burmese people can swim.

Seeing that someone was like this, others wanted to swim over.

This idea is good, but it is unlikely.

There is nothing else, it’s because there are too many people.

The dense crowds of people fell into the river, unable to throw their arms away, and they hindered each other. Some drowning people even tried their best to grab the people around them and tried to pull the other party into the water.

If they were in order, they might have gone a little more.

But now I want these defeated soldiers to have some order, isn’t it a joke?

The more everyone doesn't want to let go and don't want to fall behind, the more they will restrain each other. It's like a group of crabs, clamping each other's legs, and no one can come out of the jar.

This is already the case in Luchuan, but the people behind them don’t know, or they don’t have the time to think too much. Even if they think too much, they have no choice.

After all, the Ming army was chasing and fighting from behind.

If you fall a little behind, you will become a dead soul under the horse's hooves.

So, when Xu Tai came to the shore of Luchuan, he could hardly believe everything in front of him.

But I saw that there were dense crowds of people in the Luchuan. Some people were still struggling desperately, but some people stopped moving, and their hands and feet were grasping each other, just like a person with countless heads, countless arms and feet slowly floating in the Luchuan, swimming little by little along the river.

There were only hundreds of people on the other side. After swimming through the Luchuan River, which never felt any obstacles, after swimming in the usual days.
