In order to regain face, the Burmese army was very proactive. The right prime minister Mahaduluo commanded 30 long-tail warships to go up the river, attempting to recapture the main town Xinjie.

Behind the thirty long-tailed ships, dozens of warships were stationed on the east and west sides of Irrawaddy, and quickly landed on the shore to resettle Muzha camp.

These are the main forces of the Burmese army, with a large number of craftsmen in it. With hammers, nails, and wood, they shouted eighty-eighty, and quickly set up three wooden camps on the east and west sides as fortifications. Together with the thirty warships on the river surface, they formed a water and land defense formation.

The deployment of the Ming army was that Xu Qingshan and Ma Xianglin's army was on the east bank of the river, Mu Tianbo's troops were on the west bank, and Gan Hui and others' navy confronted the Burmese army vanguard head-on on the river.

On the wide Irrawaddy River, the Burmese army warships lined up in an interlaced manner, and the bows were all in the shape of Burmese lions or birds and beasts. The sailors on both sides kept rising and falling, and from a distance they looked like a group of centipedes rushing in, which looked quite scary.

A large red flag was inserted on the mast of the main Burmese warship, and a general in red clothes stood on the deck. He was Ding Ai, the vanguard general of the Burmese navy, and the son of the right prime minister Mahatula.

Ding Ding Ai stood with his hands behind his back, with a proud look on his face, and said, "The Ming army's navy has a few tricks. If you want to talk about the navy, they can't do it!"

The Burmese military official next to him froze his smile and said, "Sir, the Ming Navy has never been defeated since its founding. You must not be careless..."

"Oh? Is that true? You remembered it wrong!"

Ding Ding Ai looked unhappy and said, "No matter how they used to be, if you dare to be arrogant in our country this time, this general will definitely let them be wiped out!"

"Sir, brave..." The Burmese official smiled and responded.

Seeing this guy's perfunctory attitude and seemed to be disbelief, Ding Ding Ai was unhappy and said in a deep voice: "The king learned from Emperor Ming of Tang to lie on firewood and taste gall, and then he got the throne. I have been with the king for many years and have obtained the true teachings. To deal with this Ming army? It's no problem!"

"Sir? It seems that Cao Cao is the one who slept on firewood and tasted gall..." The Burmese official reminded.

Ding Ding Ai's face was hot and snorted coldly: "No matter whether it is Emperor Ming of Tang or Cao Cao who slept on firewood and tasted gall, the king has endured humiliation and endured the heavy burden! The whole Ming Dynasty is full of frogs in the well? I don't know how powerful our Burmese army is! Japan will definitely make them look good now!"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The Burmese official replied repeatedly, "Don't dare to offend this illiterate person easily."

While the two talked, the Burmese Navy launched an attack with great momentum.

This time, Gan Hui did not give the Burmese navy a chance, and took the lead in ordering artillery to suppress it.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." The Ming army's cannon sounded loudly. With the splashing water, the fastest warship that the Burmese navy rushed to was exploded? Dozens of sailors on the ship floated on the river, some of which became a pile of minced meat, soaked in the river water.

The Ming army's artillery fire was very dense? Is relatives unrecognizable? The Burmese navy went up against the current? Although it was equipped with British carrier-based guns, its practical experience was too shut. After the intensive artillery shells, they didn't know what to do? It was difficult to take advantage of the equipment.

"Use the advantage of maneuvering to push up? Swallow the Ming army alive! Those who retreated sacrificed their flag!"

The frustrated Burmese navy retreated slightly, but at the call of the commander Ding Ai, the formation was reorganized and attacked again.

The Irrawaddy River has a large river plain and shallows impacted by a lot of mud and sand in this basin. The bottoms of the river vary in depth, which tests the technology of operating ships. The Burmese long-tail ships were designed according to this combat environment.

Gan Hui, who was observing the battle situation, discovered the coquettish dressed in Ding Ai in the distance, and roughly judged his identity from the military flag on his main battlefield.

Gan Hui was overjoyed and ordered three warships to rush over, trying to take down the enemy's chief general, and to capture the thief first.

The Ming army was near the shallows of the warship, and the general of the guards beside Gan Hui jumped into the shallow place with muskets and led a battalion of sailors to scramble to the Burmese ship of the red-clothed general.

The Ming army warship opened fire behind to cover the fire, and the battalion took the opportunity to shoot, specifically shooting Burmese soldiers who emerged.

Ding Ding Ai discovered the Ming army's intentions and was immediately furious. Unwilling to be outdone, he picked up a flintlock rifle and fired back. The two sides launched each other to shoot.

"Dare to shoot against me, I'm looking for death!"

The last time the Ming army failed to conquer Myanmar, Ding Ding Ai's self-confidence was inexplicably overwhelmed.

However, with a "bang", Ding Ding Ai's body shook, and her face was full of incredible eyes at the blood-colored bullet hole on her chest.

The Burmese Army chief Ding Ding Ai, who was conspicuously dressed in armor, was shot and fell on the deck, and his legs kicked unnaturally, and the Burmese Army was in chaos.

The Ming army's artillery fire was launched at once, and the strength did not decrease. The Burmese boats were once again in chaos, colliding with each other, and many capsized.

The Ming army followed up and captured six Burmese ships, captured a side of the general flag, and won a complete victory through the water route. The Ming army's momentum was greatly boosted!

Seeing the battle on the river, the eldest son died in battle and his body was taken away by the Ming army. The right prime minister of Myanmar, Mahaduluo, was frightened and furious, and ordered all the Burmese troops on both sides of the east and west to rush out of Muzha camp, attack the Ming army from land, and regain the body of the eldest son!

"Good come!"

Ma Xianglin and Mu Tianbo, who were squatting on both sides of the Irrawaddy River, were so happy that their faces bloomed and ordered the Burmese army to be faced.

This time the Burmese army was not defending, but attacking, which meant that they could not defend the wooden fence and exert their musket advantages.

The Ming army relied on several Xinjie strongholds to continuously shoot and kill the Burmese army, gaining an overwhelming advantage in the field battle.

After shooting the Burmese Army's position, Ma Xianglin couldn't wait to order the white-rod soldiers to launch a charge on foot, allowing the little Burmese to feel the warmth from the stone pillar!

The Baigang soldiers' melee ability is not enough. When they beat the Eight Banners Army, they proved their strength. Although they had few battles in recent years, they also fought with the Southwest Chiefs for territory.

In order to prove himself to the court, these Sichuan men were not polite to the little Burmese, poked the white spear with a blade on the gun bar, and pulled the hard iron ring behind the blade hook directly as a hammer, making the move unpredictable, and the beating of the Burmese army did not know how to deal with it.

The Burmese army was unstable. After a fight between the Baigang soldiers, the Burmese army collapsed and fled. Ma Xianglin easily captured three camps on the east coast and seized countless equipment, rice and grain from the Burmese army.

In this battle, the Ming army killed more than 1,500 enemies and successfully captured the east bank of Xinjie River.

Ma Xianglin was preparing to take the opportunity to pursue the Burmese army, expand the results of the war, and waited for an opportunity to attack Jiangtou City, but heard Xu Qingshan's order to withdraw his troops.

Rivers crisscross the city next to Jiangtou City, surrounded by lush forests of Myanmar, which is a typical pass.

When the two armies were fighting, Xu Qingshan discovered through the telescope that some reflective spots appeared in the forest. There is no doubt that it was the reflection of the Burmese army's weapons!

Xu Qingshan, who had been through the battle for a long time, judged at a glance that there were a large number of Burmese ambushers in the jungle. If he rashly pursued the jungle, he would easily be ambushed by Little Burmese.

In addition, the weather is changing with the heat and heat, the soldiers consume a lot of physical strength after this battle, and they cannot use cavalry and infantry formations in the jungle. In this environment, the Ming army may not be the Burmese opponents who adapt to this environment!

What made Xu Qingshan even more afraid was that there were also huge numbers of people forming military formations in the Burmese camps around Jiangtou City!
