    "Brother, the Han army is out of camp!" Tunafa, chieftain of Ganma, rushed over.

    Meng Gong Chieftain Tona Meng said: "I know, I just received an order from the Burmese to let our chieftains defend the northern camp."

    Meng Gong belongs to the middle-level chieftain of Mengyang, and there are many small chieftains, such as Ganma, Meng Huan, and Meng Gao, who live in the territory of Menggong chieftain.

    The army under Tuo Nameng's command can be understood as the coalition of chieftains, and the most scumbag chieftain only sent two or three hundred troops.

    As soon as Tonafa heard the name "Burmese", he knew that Tonameng was going to play backstab: "Brother, when will we do it?"

    "It can't be too early, and it can't be too late." Tuo Nameng inherited the rich experience of jumping and rebounding from his ancestors. "If you start too early, we will be seriously injured. If you start too late, you will be easily blamed by the Han generals after the war. Even if you don't blame,  You can¡¯t make a mistake either. Go tell the leaders of the various divisions and let them see my flag, and I will raise the white flag and attack the Burmese army together.¡±

    "Okay, I'll go right away." Tonafa turned around and left.

    The geographical location of this group of chieftains is very embarrassing, relatively far from the Yunnan border.  However, the dynasty formed by the Burmese could attack them directly from the narrow and long plain in the south.

    If they were steadfast and unyielding to Ming Dynasty, they would be wiped out by Burma before they received reinforcements from Ming Dynasty.  But they will not be loyal to Burma either, because Daming doesn't even need to send troops by itself, and can easily deal with it by directly sending Mengyang chieftain.  Therefore, they have always jumped back and forth repeatedly, which has become a common occurrence.

    The chief general of the Burmese army arrested them fiercely, of course he knew that these chieftains were unreliable.  But he really couldn't do anything, because the main force in northern Myanmar was all piled up on Bhamo's side, and he didn't have enough troops, so he could only rely on these chieftains.

    Meng Dao called his two sons and told him: "Once something bad happens, immediately flee on horseback. Don't flee south along the river, but flee to the southwest, from there you can escape back to Ava."

    The Datong Army dispatched troops too quickly, and the route was precise.

    A block in the direction of Bhamo cut off the connection between Mengyang's northern and southern Burmese troops.  Chen Bing in Jiajiu also cut off the Burmese army in the north of Mengyang and the chieftain in the west.  Whether it's gathering troops or collecting food, the Burmese army has become very troublesome. Now that they have made a surprise attack on Mengyang City, there is basically no suspense in the battle situation.

    The reason why the Datong Army went so smoothly was that apart from its own strength, it also had the advantageous terrain left by Daming.

    The Ming Dynasty set up three declarations and six comforts, and the three declarations all belong to Yunnan, and the six comforts are places like Laos and Myanmar.  The land of the three declarations can control the surrounding area, whether it is mountains or rivers, the Chinese army has the potential to dominate.  In a word, it is very difficult for you to hit me in this kind of broken terrain, but it is easy for me to hit you.

    Just like the army led by Huang Yao, if you don't make a move, it will be fine, and if you make a move, it will grab two throats.

    "Don't go out of the camp, those who disobey the order will be killed, and defend the camp with all your strength!" Meng Zuo dare not go out to fight in the camp, and there is still a slight hope of victory in defending the camp.

    This camp is located at the foot of the mountain, and there is a small river flowing down the mountain.  Usually there is only one beacon tower, but now it has been expanded into a camp, and many deep trenches have been dug around it.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Myanmar's artillery was the first to fire from the mountainside.

    But the number is not many, only a few cannons, and they fire before they enter the range.

    Well, it may also be a test shot.

    ? King Thalong, the hero of Burma, spent 20 years in recuperation. During this period, the Burmese army did not fight much. Even if they fought, it was a small fight, mainly to quell the Mon rebellion in the south.  Now the faint king only knows how to enjoy himself for several years, and the decline of the army is even more serious.

    "Boom!"

    There was a loud noise from the middle of the mountain, and a Burmese army artillery was directly blasted by the test gun.

    Dozens of artillery from the Datong Army were drawn out, which made the Burmese army guarding the village tremble.  On various battlefields in Myanmar alone, the Datong Army dispatched a total of more than 280 artillery pieces, not including the cavalry's use of tiger squat guns.

    If the European monarchs and generals knew about it, they would probably all go crazy. So many cannons are enough for them to fight the war of the whole country.

    The artillery bombarded.

    Burmese army artillery, aimed at Chinese artillery.

    Chinese artillery aimed at the camp of the Burmese army.

    "Brother, hurry up, the Celestial Artillery is really powerful!" Tuo Nafa came to suggest.

    Tuo Nameng said: "You just step back, the artillery of the Celestial Dynasty is bombarding the wall of the village."

    But Tuo Nafa said: "I'm afraid that the wall on our side will collapse first. What if the army of the imperial court attacks us first? It will be too late to turn against us!"

    Tuo Nameng felt that it made sense, gritted his teeth and said, "Then do it in advance!"

    The two sides were still firing artillery, and the camp where the chieftain army was located suddenly shouted and killed, and launched an attack on the Burmese army without warning.

    &?Go straight to Bhamo.

    The one who attacked here was also an inspector.  Leaving Tiebiguan is the boundary of Manmu. Chieftain Manmu was so frightened that he surrendered immediately, and soon arrived at the confluence of Dajinsha River and Daying River (Ganli Village).

    ?Because the Datong inspectors dispatched troops too quickly, the Burmese army did not react, and the siege of Ganlizhai was broken within two days. After that, the Burmese army did not even dare to defend Xinjie, and retreated directly to Laoguantun to gather together.

    Laoguantun is the kaungton of Myanmar in later generations.

    As long as you win here, you can take a boat across the mountains and go straight to Ava, the capital of Myanmar.

    Historically, the Qing army fought against Burma for several years, and the strategic goal was to take Laoguantun.  In the end, tens of thousands of people were mobilized, and a 3,000-jin cannon was specially cast, with 80 mountain-splitting cannons (long-barreled cannons), a large number of nine-section cannons (detachable light cannons), and many sky cannons (mortar cannons).  Going hand in hand, he also sent a partial teacher to follow Mupang around the back.

    However, in the Laoguantun city village in Myanmar, the walls of the village are all wooden fences, which cannot withstand shelling at all, and the number of troops is seriously insufficient.

    This should have been a battle without suspense.

    But in real fighting, the whole process was so difficult to vomit, it was so weird to the limit.

    First of all, the Qing army prepared for a full year, and they didn't know why they prepared, but they chose to send troops in the hot and humid rainy season.

    How do you do intelligence work?

    This is not just coming to Myanmar, but I have been fighting for several years, and it is too nonsense not to avoid the rainy season.

    When the main force of the Qing army was on the march, a large number of soldiers, livestock and war horses fell ill and died.  After finally reaching Jiajiu City, the Burmese army here had already received the news and ran away early.

    The heavy rain poured down, the river swelled sharply, and the flow was so fast that the Qing army could only stop advancing.

    After finally getting through the rainy season, it has already exceeded the scheduled joint attack period by 50 days.

    The ghostly appearance of the main force of the Qing army was even worse on the side of the division. During the rainy season, they had to cross mountains and ridges, which not only caused a large number of non-combat attrition, but also made it impossible to transport food and grass.  When these guys arrived at their destination, only half of the ships had been built by the troops that set out to build the ships earlier, and the Deputy Imperial Envoy who was in charge of the shipbuilding had already died of malaria.

    A surprise attack that had been planned for a year turned into a head-on battle in a daze.

    After this situation was over, the navy of the Qing army went to make a surprise attack. The guerrillas of the navy were ambushed halfway, and were shot dead by the Burmese army hiding on the shore.

    Moreover, the navy didn't even know the situation of the nearby river, and when they rushed to the battlefield, they ran aground in various ways

    Tian Chen, the head of the inspection division who successfully captured Bhamo, said: "Commander, according to Xizuo and merchants, after the Dajinsha River passed through Bhamo, the flow rate suddenly slowed down when it encountered a sharp bay. The rivers around Laoguantun have  A large amount of sediment has accumulated, and our army is not familiar with the situation, so we should not rashly go there by boat."

    "How are you going to fight?" Huang Yao asked.

    Tian Chen said: "Don't rush to attack by boat, and march carefully along the shore. From here to Laoguantun, there are mostly low hills, just guard against enemy ambushes."

    "You're right, you can't take risks." Huang Yao agreed with this suggestion.

    Why is it said that Laoguantun is difficult to fight? There are sandbars everywhere in the nearby river, and the underwater is also heavily silted up, and the navigable channel is very narrow.  If you are not an old helmsman who has been running the ship for many years, you may run aground when you drive over, and then you will be a living target for the Burmese navy.
