Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

As soon as the city was broken, Mang Yingli took [-] elites and fled out of the city from the north gate.

Zhou Tiesheng then led his troops into the city and encountered almost no decent resistance. Therefore, with the powerful firepower in this battle, he suffered almost no losses.

Zhou Tiesheng himself felt as if he was in a dream as he easily captured the royal city of Toungoo Kingdom.

Isn't this battle too easy to fight?There is no scene of a bloody battle between the enemy and the enemy.

After controlling all the important areas in the city, Hou Yao led the army into the city.

The residents of Baigu City were relieved that the Daxia Army had not committed any crimes against Qiu Nei.

Since ancient times, the entry of armies into the city has been a disaster for the residents in the city. An army like the Baoan Army that does not loot at all is rare even in Daxia.

More than [-] people were captured in this battle, including [-] Portuguese mercenaries.

Francis and Sebastian immediately requested the release of these Portuguese mercenaries.

Hou Yao considered Francis' future use and decided to give him face this time.

Agree to release the prisoners.

Subsequently, Hou Yao appointed officials from Baigu City. He planned to set up Burma as a prefecture and use Awa as the seat of the prefecture.

It is divided into several counties, and Baigu, Pathein, Pyay, Bagan, Mengji and other cities each have a governance office.

Build highways to connect these cities, and use urbanization to attract the barbarians from the mountains to the cities. As long as the barbarians in the mountains are not young enough, there is no need to worry about them rebelling again.

As the magistrate of Baigu County, Hou Yao was interested in a Huizhou scholar recommended by Jia Ming.

He stayed in Baigu County for more than ten days to govern, rest and reorganize the army, and then continued north to pursue Mangyingli.

After losing Bai Gu, Mang Yingli fled all the way north to Taungu City, which was also the place where Taungu's rule was the most stable.

Toungu City is no better than Baigu. This is the place where Toungu Kingdom made its fortune, and the Mang family has a high prestige here.

Although Mang Yingli's brutal behavior over the years has disappointed many people, after all, the fundamentals are still there.

In addition, there is a very prestigious White Elephant King guarding Ava, so the people's sentiment in Toungoo City is basically stable.

Bao'an's army had an underground camp five miles outside Dongyu City. Hou Yao only arranged fifteen artillery pieces and 500 men to attack the city on three sides every day.

In other words, a maximum of 500 people can attack the city gates in each direction, and they are not allowed to capture them. They basically have to kill for two hours every day and then retreat.

Inside the Chinese military camp

While massaging Hou Yao, Yu Xiuer asked about her confusion:

"Mr. Sir, why do we have to be here all the time? We can defeat it with just one charge, so why are we wasting time here? These ammunitions are all money."

Hou Yao said with a very high-level expression:

"The key to attacking Burma is to attack the heart. This is my clever plan to attack the heart."

He was not in a hurry to defeat Taungu, but wanted to erode the Taungu people's trust in this king bit by bit.

Of course, the more important thing is to let Mang Yingli gather all his die-hard elements. Only by eliminating the die-hard elements first will the future governance be smooth.

Yu Xiuer still didn’t quite understand and asked:

"But we have been fighting for more than 20 days, how long will it take?"

When Hou Yao was hesitating how to answer, suddenly soldiers from outside the camp rushed in and reported:

"Sir, there is an urgent report from Baigu City. Ayutthaya will send [-] troops to attack Baigu City."

Hou Yao couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know what Ayutthaya meant by sending troops.

"Okay, I see."

Yu Xiuer said nervously:

"Ayutthaya has an army of [-], what should we do? There are only a few people in Baigu City, can we hold it? Do we want to go back to help?"

Hou Yao touched her butt and said:

"It is said to be one hundred thousand, but excluding the heavy civilians, the number of soldiers who can fight is only 5 or [-] at most. Most of them are young and strong tribesmen who have not received special military training. They can swarm on the ground when the wind is blowing, and they can kill as many people as possible when the wind is blowing. If they fight, they will just scatter in all directions. They are a ragtag group of people, and one soldier is enough to defeat them. What I am considering now is whether to kill Ayutthaya by the way, so as to save trouble in the future."

Hearing what Hou Yao said, Yu Xiuer became less nervous:

"Ms. sir, let's fight them together. They are coming to fight us anyway."

Hou Yao nodded:

"Okay, the sage has something to say, listen to your wife..., now that you have spoken, it's settled."

With that said, he walked out of the camp and shouted:

"Zhou Tiesheng and Liu Chengfu immediately launched an all-out attack on the city. Within a quarter of an hour, Taungyu City was captured."

"Follow the order..."

……

The key to attacking the mind is to make the enemy live in fear and worry.

But now that the situation has changed, Hou Yao can only change his strategy.

The original attack of 500 people on the city had already left the Taungoo defenders in a hurry and exhausted.

Now the Baqian army attacked the city with all its strength. With just one salvo, the Taungoo defenders completely collapsed.

Mang Yingli once again fled north immediately. This time, the only city he could retreat to was Ava City.

Ava City was the former royal city of the Ava Dynasty, and is now the royal city of Mangzhuo. It is also the strongest city in Toungoo.

Retreating to Ava City was Mang Yingli's most helpless choice. On the surface, he and Mang Zhuo were in harmony, but in fact they were secretly at odds with each other.

There is not much difference in the strength between the two men. Although Mang Zhuo's reputation is higher, in terms of the elite troops in his hands, Mang Yingli is stronger.

It's just that his original army of [-] is now less than [-].

Mang Zhuo, on the other hand, had an army of [-] men at his disposal. The reason why he did not flee to Ava before was because he did not have the confidence to deal with Mang Zhuo.

The point is that Mang Zhuo still has thirty war elephants in his hands.

War elephants are simply invincible without matchlocks.

He previously relied on the two hundred arquebus guards in his hands and the three hundred Portuguese mercenaries to help suppress the war elephants.

Now that all the Portuguese mercenaries have been wiped out, there are only two hundred arquebus guards left, and I don't know if they can suppress them.

Just when Mang Yingli was worried about whether he could do better than Mang Zhuo.

Mang Zhuo also encountered a huge crisis.

At the end of November, Ji Wenjun ordered Lei Xingguang to lead troops to recover the areas around Longchuan. There was basically no resistance, and then he began to attack Manmo.

Sishun was defeated and succeeded in escaping with his family, threatening King Tan's life.

Lei Xingguang continued to attack Gu Rui, and then attacked Meng Yang.

Mang Zhuo led 6 people to fight against Lei Xingguang's Wukan Bao'an Army. Unfortunately, the gap in combat power between the two sides was too great.

So the musketry has reached the era of queuing to shoot.

And Mang Zhuo's troops could only be considered a ragtag group even in the cold weapon era.

The gap between the times is like an unbridgeable gap.

Wu Gansui's musketeers completely defeated the Chinese formation of Mang Zhuo's army in just two rounds of shooting.

Thirty war elephants went crazy again and trampled their own army formation.

The [-]-strong army collapsed in an instant.

Seeing that Lei Xingguang's army was so powerful, Mang Zhuo knew that there was no possibility of victory. After escaping back to Mengyang City, he packed up his belongings overnight and fled south.

The power of the Baoan Army was too terrifying, so they had no choice but to flee back to King Ava City first and then think of a solution.

Lei Xingguang continued to regain other areas in northern Myanmar.

……

ava city

Mang Yingli led [-] troops into the city first, and then Mang Zhuo also returned to the city with [-] remaining troops.

When uncle and nephew met each other, they couldn't help but burst into tears when they talked about the battle situation after encountering the Daxia army.

The power in their hands has been basically exhausted, and there is a big doubt whether Ava City can be defended.

But now that they are facing a powerful enemy, the two of them can only put aside their prejudices and join hands to fight against the enemy.

The two of them thought that the Bao'an army would attack Ava City soon, but after more than ten days they did not see Daxia's army coming. They later found out after they sent people around to inquire about the news.

It turns out that the Daxia army in the south went to attack the city of Ayutthaya.

The Daxia army in the north has retreated to Longchuan.

The reason why Lei Xingguang returned to Longchuan was because the area he attacked was too large and Ji Wenjun could no longer manage it.

Mang Yingli and Mang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. After more than ten days, Daxia still had no intention of attacking Ava City.

Mang Yingli gradually felt relieved and began to think about how to strengthen himself.

Mang Zhuo's ambition was completely shattered by Da Xia. In addition, he was already old and had lost his ambition.

So he built an elephant paradise and spent the whole day enjoying himself with the white elephants.

Mang Yingli took a group of guards to the Elephant Paradise, then asked the guards to guard the door, and walked in alone:

"Uncle Wang, it's so nice to just spend the whole day ignoring business and just accompanying the White Saint King."

Mang Zhuo raised his head and glanced at Mang Yingli, then said with a smile:

"I am already old. With a wise king leading Taungoo, why should I be worried?"

Mang Yingli didn't pay attention to Mang Zhuo's sarcasm, which was both positive and negative, and just said calmly:

"I came to see Uncle Wang today for a small matter. Didn't Sishun capture His Highness King Xi? I haven't seen anyone yet, so I asked Uncle Wang to introduce him to me."

During these days, he has been looking for His Highness King Xian, but he has not found any clues, and he has no idea where the old fox in front of him has hidden the person.

"Didn't I tell you before? His Highness, King Ni, died in the rebel army during Manmo. Alas, if His Highness, King Ni, was in my hands, how could I have been defeated so miserably?"

Since Mang Zhuo was defeated by the Daxia army in the first battle, he found his most trusted personal guard to hide King Xi.

At that time, he had a premonition that King Tan might be his family's last life-saving talisman. Of course, he couldn't release it easily?It is even more impossible to hand it over to Mang Yingli.

Naturally, Mang Yingli knew that Mang Zhuo would not be handed over to him so easily, so he had already made preparations to use force and slashed at Mang Zhuo without hesitation.

Mang Zhuoren is not blind, he has been on guard against Mang Yingli for a long time, and started to run away when he saw that he was acting strangely.

By the time Mangyingli's knife came down, he had already fled to the other side and yelled hurriedly:

"Bai Sheng, please save me..."

Bai Sheng had a good understanding of human nature and forced Mang Yingli back with a flick of his nose, and then put Mang Zhuo on his back.

Mang Zhuo hurriedly drove Bai Sheng to escape. He knew that Mang Yingli would not be alone if he dared to take action.

Sure enough, when Bai Sheng turned around and knocked a big hole out of Xiang Yuan, many matchlock soldiers rushed in from outside the door.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

Bai Sheng was frightened and rushed out crazily.

Mang Zhuo was also frightened as he lay on Bai Sheng's back. He guessed that Mang Yingli might do something to him.

But before Mang Yingli took action, there was always a glimmer of hope, but now the hope is completely shattered...
