Chapter 535: The Siege of Mubang: The White Pole Soldiers Defeat the Burmese Elephant Soldiers

Shortly after Qin Bangping led his troops back to Mubang, he found that a large number of Burmese soldiers appeared not far outside Mubang City, covering the sky.

"From the scale of this joint venture, it is estimated that it is no less than 200,000. It should have been moving along the mountain roads very early. Relying on the terrain that is more familiar to us, I want to concentrate most of the troops and cut off our food routes, and turn our Ming army left in Myanmar into an isolated army! In this way, I can not only use the troops of the chieftains from all over Myanmar to eat up all the troops sent to Myanmar, and turn the situation around; I can also use the troops of the Ming army to consume the soldiers of the chieftains from all over the country. The pieces of the King of Myanmar are quite big!"

After Zou Weilian carefully observed these Myanmar troops, he returned to the city and started talking to Qin Bangping.

Qin Bangping nodded: "My sister guessed correctly, and the Privy Council guessed correctly. King Talong will indeed aim at our food route. Taking advantage of the time when my sister led the main force to advance, he secretly dispatched a large number of troops to cut off my food route! Although we were well prepared, we only had more than 15,000 troops, and the difference in strength was too big. In addition, my sister is still attacking Awa, and this Mubang cannot be surrounded forever! We still have to go back to Yunnan to ask for reinforcements from the court."

"I'll go, I'll take my flag camp soldiers out!"

Zou Weilian said at this time.

Qin Bangping pondered for a while after hearing this, and said, "I'm going to help the platform!"

So, Zou Weilian led his own battalion troops to break out.

Qin Bangping began to order soldiers to pull wire mesh, dig trenches, set up various traps within five miles outside the city, and personally led 6,000 white-rod soldiers to seize the two high slopes of the north and south that had just been occupied by a certain chieftain in Myanmar.

"kill!"

Zou Weilian took his own battalion soldiers to kill in the middle of the contact between the two chieftain soldiers in Myanmar.

But the Myanmar army was prepared for a long time and knew that the Ming army would break through.

Therefore, when Zou Weilian and his battalion soldiers were raiding a Myanmar military camp, they encountered a large number of elephant soldiers gathered towards him.

Therefore, Zou Weilian had to order his subordinates to form a third-line formation to deal with these elephant soldiers.

Zou Weilian's model camp was all armed by him. During his tenure as the Yunnan Censor, he began to take in the orphans of the Miao people and raise them and train them. These armed forces were all under his command. Although they only had more than 1,000 troops, their combat power was still very strong.

However, although Zou Weilian's Model Battalion used the flintlock rifle formation to repel several attacks of the Myanmar elephant soldiers, the Myanmar elephant soldiers did not intend to let Zou Weilian and others return to Yunnan, but still besieged Zou Weilian and the Model Battalion.

Therefore, Zou Weilian had to discuss with his own general Wang Jun, the general of the Ballot, and said: "You bring the most powerful five hundred rattan models to break out through the mountain road. I will take the remaining troops here to fight them stubbornly!"

"How can this be done? It will be a little bit of a disaster for you to stay here. It's better for us to withdraw from Mubang. As long as we retreat to Mubang, these Myanmar soldiers will not intercept us with all their might!"

Wang Jun said that.

"But going back like this is of no use for the overall situation. We came out to inform the court of the court and requested rescue! Mubang did not have a wire telegram. As long as you rush back to Yongchang, you can inform the court of the court through the wire telegram that had just been laid to Yongchang, and the court will know immediately! I am here and playing the battle flag to attract the attention of Myanmar. You can just follow the mountain road back to Yunnan. What's more, I am weak in my opinion. It is a drag on the mountain road to follow you!"

Zou Weilian said.

"But?"

Wang Jun wanted to say something, and Zou Weilian waved his hand and said, "Nothing is true! Obey orders! Although I am the governor now, Your Majesty asked me to temporarily exercise the power of Governor Meng Gong. You must not disobey the orders!"

"yes!"

Therefore, Wang Jun had to select the most powerful five hundred Yunnan rattan soldiers and penetrated into the mountains.

Zou Weilian encountered a large-scale attack by the Burmese elephant soldiers early the next morning.

At first, Zou Weilian only defended the terrain and used a three-line formation to repel the Burmese elephant soldiers several times. However, because he had no ammunition and food, he had to directly order his command soldiers to bayonets on the flintlock rifle, and he drew his sword and charged forward together.

The Burmese elephant soldiers relied on sitting on the large elephant and launched a condescending attack on the Ming army.

In the end, Zou Weilian and the 500 model soldiers around him were wiped out, and he himself was surrounded by the Burmese Elephant Corps.

But before being captured alive, Zou Weilian simply committed suicide.

Qin Bangping didn't know about Zou Weilian's situation here, and he was now stopping officers and soldiers from digging ditches and draining water.

Because the cunning Burmese soldiers blocked the river water upstream and obviously drowned them with floods, Qin Bangping simply ordered the entire army to dig ditches and drain water downstream, and some dried trenches were dug directly.

Seeing that the flooding plan failed, the Burmese soldiers simply attacked directly.

A large number of Burmese soldiers came to Mubang City with darts, bows and arrows, and various Western firearms like locusts.

The sound of the elephant group roaring even more resounding throughout the fields.

Qin Bangping was calm and calm, not thinking about whether Zou Weilian had broken through.

He is only determined to defend Mubang, and even better to force Myanmar to withdraw his troops because his sister Qin Liangyu is still attacking Awa.

Therefore, Qin Bangping decisively commanded his Baigang soldiers to attack directly and take the initiative to defeat the Burmese soldiers all the way, so that they could not succeed.

Moreover, Qin Bangping directly demanded to take the initiative to attack the two strongest elephant soldiers among the Burmese soldiers.

"Kill!"

The white-rod soldiers who had fought several times in battles took the initiative to rush towards the Burmese elephant soldiers with rattan cards and white-rod guns.

Then, the dense white-bar guns were rushing to the rain of bullets, causing the huge but clumsy elephant to run around in pain, causing many Burmese soldiers to be thrown off their horses and stab to death by the white-bar soldiers behind them.

Of course, the White Petal Soldiers were also very casualties, and many were shot and killed by Burmese soldiers sitting on the elephant, and many were stepped on by running elephants.

It can be said that this is a fierce battle.

In the end, because the casualties and collapse rate of the White Peak soldiers was smaller than that of the Myanmar soldiers, the Burmese Elephant soldiers were defeated and retreated.

After all, the Baigang Bing is all the chieftains, and everyone knows that if they don’t win this battle, they will not be able to go back to Sichuan with Qin Liangyu, the actual ruler of the chieftain who is still attacking Awa, and their brothers who follow Qin Liangyu to attack Awa.

Therefore, the Myanmar soldiers gave up their strong attack and turned to siege and cut off the water source. They believed that the Ming army would not save much food, guns, bullets, crossbows and arrows in Mubang.

However, Zou Weilian brought Mubang a lot of food and ammunition in advance, and he was ready for it. Before Qin Bangping came back, he used cement to directly build a reservoir here, and dozens of reservoirs were built directly in the city.

Therefore, next, there was no food and water cut off in Qin Bangping.

Qin Liangyu had already captured Awa, but King Talong had moved to Lashio.
