Chapter 1106 Encountering the British Army

Xu Qingshan did not give the Burmese army a chance to breathe. He knew that the Burmese King even sent out the prince and the royal city guards, and this was their dying counterattack!

As long as you continue to maintain a strong attack, it will be easy to win Dongyu City!

On the sixth day of December, the Ming army ran into the ambushing Burmese army again on the way to march, and it was still the royal city guards.

Myanmar's military structure is loosely ally. The elite troops of the Burmese King are within the capital. Only the power of the Imperial Guards can maintain the power of the Burmese King.

Therefore, the royal guards are the most combat-capable army among the Burmese army!

Obviously, the strong army of Myanmar was just a big mistake in front of the Ming army. Xu Qingshan quickly defeated the ambush, killed more than 600 enemies, and captured five Burmese generals alive.

The Ming army tortured the five Burmese generals. After killing two, they learned from the remaining three Burmese generals that the Burmese King Mangbai had sent out all 10,000 imperial guards. There were almost no soldiers available in Dongyu City, and there was only one king's guard!

Xu Qingshan was overjoyed when he heard the news and continued to urge the army to advance. He arrived thirty miles outside Dongxu City. The Ming army's vanguard troops collided with an imperial guard again, and the two armies continued to strangle together.

The imperial guards were killed and retreated step by step. Many cavalry were shot dead by guns and fled back to the camps in the rear, turning to attack and defending, and no longer coming out to fight.

No matter how many times the Ming army teases, the Imperial Guards are still as still as mountains, waiting for you to come.

According to Ye Bushuo's investigation, it was found that the camp on this high ground was stationed in the British army!

However, judging from the number of people, there were less than a thousand people, so I immediately reported the news.

After hearing this, Xu Qingshan and others just smiled.

During these days, the Ming army was in a state of great strength and defeated the most elite imperial guards of the Burmese army many times. Seeing that the enemy's country was right in front of us, morale was unprecedentedly high. Is the British army with less than a thousand people a goal?

After repairing the troops, Xu Qingshan, accompanied by his generals, climbed to the top of the mountain and inspected the British camp on the opposite high ground. Eighteen Royal Guard soldiers guarded each other's body.

These eighteen Imperial Guards acted as Xu Qingshan's personal guards, and were also responsible for delivering military newspapers to the palace and reporting on the frontline war at any time.

However, they were very regular and did not talk much about Xu Qingshan's decisions, but just acted as tool people seriously.

Xu Qingshan looked at the British camp in front of him, smiled relaxedly, and said to the left and right: "This camp is like a child's play compared to the Jiangtoucheng big village. If you pass the order, you will break it within half an hour!"

From beginning to end, he didn't take these East India mercenaries seriously!

After the order was issued, the Ming army's rattan regiment took the lead in launching an attack from the front to the Burmese army on the high ground. At the same time, three regiments of troops launched an attack from different directions.

Obviously, Xu Qingshan wanted to eat all the Burmese and British troops and not give them a chance to escape!

Under the cover of artillery fire, the dark Ming army rushed to the hillside of the highland and continued to shoot at the British-Burma Alliance forces on the mountain.

The British East India Company is an on the surface a commercial trading enterprise, but in fact it has obtained a charter of British royal family, has assisted in rule and military functions, and can train mercenaries.

These mercenaries were on the surface owned by Indian feudal princes, but in fact, these feudal princes were "protected" by the East India Company and served the British.

The army of the British East India Company, commanded by professional European officers, played an extremely important role in the British occupation of India.

It can be said that without this mercenary, Britain would not have conquered India.

The British army in red uniforms performed very professionally, and in terms of shooting posture and accuracy, they were the best among the enemies encountered by the Ming army.

Although the British army had only 800 people, the momentum produced by the terrain could defeat 5,000 main forces of the Burmese army!

Facing the British muskets and the Burmese darts, the Ming army directly set up the Ming version of Gatlin - Mingwu machine gun!

The Mingwu machine gun is basically the same as the later Gatlins. Regardless of the shape or principle, the copycat is very well copied!

Before this, the Ming Army equipped the Wujiu Thunder gun similar to the early Gatlins. However, the Wujiu Thunder gun used paper shell gun bullets. The barrel rotated in a week to load six rounds of ammunition, firing and retracting, and the rate of fire per minute was only 200 rounds.

The improved Gatlin used independent metal shell ammunition, overcoming the problem of coaxial axis between the independent chamber and the gun chamber, increasing the firing rate to a maximum of 1,200 rounds per minute, which is a full six times!

This rate of fire is undoubtedly amazing for experts from the military and the Royal Academy of Sciences!

Some people questioned the actual combat performance of Mingwu machine guns, so the Ministry of War mailed two doors to test them on the Myanmar battlefield!

"Da da da da da da da da!"

Amid the roar of Mingwu machine guns, the barrel rotated rapidly, countless warheads ejected, and copper shells scattered to the ground. The British and imperial guards who were fighting back on the hillside were shot and their flesh and blood were flying everywhere, which was terrible!

The British and Burmese soldiers who were lucky enough to live were so scared that they hid behind the camp with their heads in their arms, suppressed them on the hillside and dared not move.

Among them, the British army was moved. An officer blew a white flag and hid behind the Muzhai and shouted birds desperately. The general meaning was: I misunderstood, we won’t fight anymore, let’s say something!

The answer to him is the artillery fire of the Ming army!

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded on the mountain, and then countless shells flew into the British camp, immediately covering it in a thick smoke, and the conspicuous white flag disappeared directly.

The Ming army's mortars and flowering bullets were blooming in the air five meters above the ground, and the British and Burmese troops on the mountain suffered heavy casualties.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial guards from the royal city had never seen such bombs blooming above their heads. They could not hide them. The top of the mountain suddenly became chaotic. Some Burmese soldiers were frightened by the shrapnel flying in. They threw down their weapons and ran around without thinking. They were soon bombed to the point of their heads and bodies.

In the face of absolute strength and death, the British troops from the West also performed poorly, lying in the corner like turtles.

After only a quarter of an hour of war, the defense line of the British and Burmese Allied Forces was completely shaken. The Ming army took advantage of the situation to cover up and occupied the high ground, chasing the remnants of the Myanmar Imperial Guards for ten miles!

In contrast, the British were relatively calm. Not only did they not run away, they came over to say hello with a smile.

The British commander danced and talked endlessly about the traditional friendship between the British Republic and the Ming Dynasty in stiff Chinese. He spoke better than crosstalk, and afterwards he even made a cute look to show friendship.

"Damn it! I'm disgusting!"

The irritable Ma Xianglin suddenly slapped him to the ground, and spat at him again.

The British commander endured the pain, opened his air-broken mouth with his knocked teeth, and shouted vaguely: "We two countries get along well with each other, these are misunderstandings. Long live the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army is mighty!"

Xu Qingshan looked at the foreign officer coldly. Seeing his face, he suddenly drew out his hand gun and shot him twice in the head.

After finishing the matter, he said lightly: "If it were so friendly, you wouldn't have appeared here!"

I originally wanted to finish the Myanmar plot in this chapter, but I wrote more than 3,000 words but haven't finished it yet. I had to separate and end the next chapter.
Chapter completed!
