Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

The vanguard general Da Yi was killed.

The Toungoo vanguard army collapsed completely, and the army, which had been killed by Liu Jiajun to the point of being frightened, couldn't help but flee.

"kill--."

The Liu Jiajun once again burst out with powerful combat effectiveness, frantically pursuing the fleeing enemy troops.

Mang Zhuo looked at the frantically fleeing vanguard on the white elephant, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

The Daxia army was too strong. Looking at the expressions of the Burmese soldiers around him, one could tell that he was scared to death.

Now there is no other way to win except using the war elephant.

As expected of the battle-hardened White Elephant King of Toungoo, he instantly grasped the key points of the current situation.

"Send the order and launch a general attack. Daxia's army is strong, but they have few people after all. Use war elephants to destroy them."

"Moo-"

"Moo-"

"Moo-"

Eighty elephants were surrounded by their respective tribes and advanced, and the whole earth trembled under the feet of the war elephants.

The enemy launched a general attack, and Liu's army stopped pursuing and withdrew, while Chen Kun was still chasing the defeated troops who fled.

Finally, he ran into an elephant army head-on. Several chieftain soldiers on the giant elephant waved their long spears to harass him.

Chen Kun finally woke up at this time. Seeing how powerful the war elephant was, he couldn't help but feel timid in his heart.

But then he roared unwillingly:

"To die—"

The cold saw struck the elephant's armor, making a clanging sound.

His luck was really not good. Most of the elephants did not have armor, but the one he encountered only had armor.

The sword could not hurt the elephant armor, and Chen Kun gradually regained his senses, so he turned around and retreated to his own army's formation.

The madman is not a fool. He wants to fight to death, but he doesn't want to die.

War elephants have surpassed the limits of human strength.

The enemy army had already attacked in full force, and the Baoan Army had nothing to hesitate. Ji Wenjun waved to him outside the car window:

"General Zhu, attack. The elephants are invincible by manpower, so we can only use muskets."

Zhu Liangao nodded and straightened his body.

"The entire army changes formation and prepares to fire."

All the Baoan troops had their guns in their chests and loaded their ammunition.

300 meters..., 200 meters..., 100 meters....

The War Elephant Corps finally approached the Baoan Army formation, already less than a hundred meters away.

The enemy entered the shooting range, and Zhu Liang'ao roared:

"Fire..."

"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah..."

"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah..."

"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah..."

The two musketeers of the Baoan Army were divided into two rows and seemed to be firing continuously, while the Toungoo Army only had sporadic firepower to counterattack.

Such a war cannot be called a war at all, it is simply a massacre.

"Moo-"

Under the suppression of such powerful firepower from the Baoan Army, even the war elephants were trembling.

I don’t know which war elephant started the attack, but was frightened by the powerful firepower of Sui’s muskets, and frantically trampled on the Toungoo army’s own military formation.

Zhu Liangao shouted:

"Advance and shoot."

The powerful pressure of the Baoan Army appeared, with uniform movements and a terrifying and dense firepower network.

More and more war elephants are frightened.

"Moo-"

"Moo-"

"Moo-"

The mahout could no longer control the frightened war elephants.

More than 80 war elephants charged into the Taungoo army formation. The army collapsed completely and was trampled by the war elephants, leaving an unknown number of dead.

At this time, Zhu Liangao shouted:

"Fix bayonets... and the whole army will pursue them."

Two Gan Bao'an troops stopped their guns, attached their bayonets to the heads of their guns, and began a free pursuit.

The Taungoo army was so defeated that it was unable to organize any effective counterattack.

Liu Wei and Deng Zilong also began to pursue the defeated troops.

Xin Zhuo cried with a heartbroken look on his face:

"How could Daxia have such powerful firearms? A hundred thousand troops were destroyed in one fell swoop."

After that, he turned around and left without looking back.

In this battle, Daxia wiped out more than 2 enemies and captured [-] cadres.Most of them are stragglers from small tribes.

Mang Zhuo's main army retreated to Mengyang City.

Although the Toungu Army was defeated, its main force was still there. The Baoan Army also consumed two-thirds of its gunpowder in this battle, and was unable to destroy the remaining Toungu Army.

At this point, the two sides were wary of each other, and neither side dared to stir up trouble again. A short-term peace was restored on the Yunnan border.

……

South China Sea waters.

Forty Manila galleons slowly sailed south.

Yu Xiuer stood on the bow of the ship in military uniform, looking extremely heroic.

Hou Yao was held in Yu Xiuer's arms, his face extremely pale.

"Ms. sir, if you don't feel well, please don't come out. It's windy outside. It would be nice to have a good rest in the cabin."

"Ahem... come out and get some air. The cabin will be stuffier, which won't be good for your illness."

Just two days after going to sea, Hou Yao fell ill. He didn't know what the illness was, but he felt weak in his limbs and weak all over.Also coughing badly.

"Sir, why don't we go to Manila to rest for a while before leaving, and find a doctor to find out what the disease is."

"No, the ocean current is already slow and it will take at least more than a month to cross the Mancajia Strait. We don't have time to delay. I don't know if the princess and the others can withstand an army of [-] people."

"It should be fine. With General Zhu Liang'ao here, we should be able to defend the city no matter what."

"A hundred thousand troops. Their ammunition is only enough to fight one battle. Now we can only hope that Lei Xingguang and the others can quickly join the princess and the others."

Hou Yao left five cadres of the army to guard his home during this expedition, five cadres of the army went out with the ship, and another five cadres of the army went overland to support and supply Ji Wenjun.

It’s just that the journey is long, and it will take a month at the earliest to reach Yunnan. Originally, the sea route would be faster, and it would only take more than 20 days to cross the Managa Strait and reach the southern coast of Myanmar.

However, we happened to encounter the Kuroshio tide again, and the ship's speed was more than doubled. Naturally, the arrival time in southern Myanmar had to be much delayed.

"My lord, Li Jingfeng has become the city lord of Manila. You can reach Manila only a few dozen miles east. Why don't you kill him and find a better doctor to treat you?"

Hou Yao looked eastward:

"Forget it, let's take care of Burma first, and then we'll take care of this little devil when we return."

"But your body..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine..."

"Ms. sir, could you please not put your hand on someone else's chest?"

"No, I am a patient now. I feel uncomfortable all over. I need to divert my attention. Please obediently let me rest for a while."

"Ms. sir..., um..."

……

At the port east of Manila, three robbers escorted an Italian young man in his thirties, Matteo Ricci, to Li Jingfeng.

Li Jingfeng looked at Matteo Ricci carefully:

"Are you Matteo Ricci? Have you ever been in and out of the Death Channel?"

Matteo Ricci was brought to Li Jingfeng inexplicably, and his mind was still a little confused:

"Yes, Dear City Lord, I have indeed had the experience of crossing the Death Channel twice."

Li Jingfeng burst out laughing:

"Okay then, it's you, come with us."

Matteo Ricci looked confused:

"Lord City Lord, I am a missionary, and I am currently preaching in the ditch. Where are you taking me?"

Li Jingfeng slapped him on the face, and then said with a ferocious expression:

"Take us through the passage of death, or die. You choose one."

Matteo Ricci was shocked and said:

"Lord City Lord, no, you don't believe in the Lord. Without the Lord's protection, it is impossible to pass through the Death Channel safely. Only you are devout believers like me can you pass through the Death Channel safely."

The corners of Li Jingfeng's eyes twitched, and he reached out and slapped him on the face again.

"I don't care about you. Take it away."

At this moment, a broken navy man ran over:

"Brother Li, the Baoan Army's ship is only more than 100 miles away from us."

Li Jingfeng was also quite impatient and said:

"Okay, stop probing and tell the brothers to set sail immediately. Kill all those who have objections and don't bother. Let's go, set sail."

Following Li Jingfeng's order, more than a dozen large ships from the port sailed out one after another.

Unlike Hou Yao's speed in the west, as soon as he left the port, he shot out like a bow and arrow.

Matteo Ricci stood on the boat and was about to cry. He had only been here two years, and he had just accepted four believers. Now that he leaves, he may not be able to keep the four believers.

Unlike other missionaries, Matteo Ricci began to change his missionary strategy this year after experiencing initial missionary failures.

He allowed the believers in Bactria to continue the traditional worship of heaven, ancestors and Confucius. As long as they were not mixed with superstitious elements such as prayer and worship, it would not be considered a violation of Catholic doctrine.

He also advocated using "God" to refer to the Catholic "god" and pointed out that the concept of "god" already existed in the ancient documents of the Bactria Kingdom.

The traditional "heaven" and "god" of Bactria are essentially the same as the "only true God" taught by Catholicism.

Until now, he planned to wear the clothes of Bactrian scholars from now on in order to better integrate into the people of Bactria and spread the gospel of God.

But this grand blueprint was aborted at the beginning, and was caught into the death channel by Li Jingfeng without saying a word.

He still had a clear memory of this passage. In fact, he had only narrowly escaped death once.

But in order to make others believe that he had God's blessing, he declared to everyone that he had passed it three times after arriving in Manila.

I originally thought that bragging would not pay taxes, but I never thought that bragging would be fatal.

"Your Excellency, City Lord, please return to the ship. The Death Channel is really scary. In two months, the people on the ship will be cursed by God, and no one will be able to survive."

Li Jingfeng was furious, grabbed Matteo Ricci's neck and shouted:

"If you keep talking too much, I will tell you to go see God now."

Matteo Ricci felt like he couldn't breathe. He didn't understand how Li Jingfeng's hands could be so strong even though he was not tall, and he almost suffocated when he squeezed him.

Li Jingfeng pinched Matteo Ricci's neck until his face turned red before throwing him to the ground:

"Your job is to lead the way for us. If we can't get to the land of gold, you won't be able to live either."

Matteo Ricci looked defeated. Only now did he know what kind of people he had been left in. Now he could only accept the reality honestly.

How could he die so easily when he shouldered the heavy responsibility of proselytizing?

We can only take these Daxia people to Mexico, and then come back when they get there...

No, will our group of people have a chance to get there?

Endless panic surged in Matteo Ricci's heart...
