In fact, from a general perspective, the Ming army's combat was very organized. Not to mention Xiao Ruxun's firearm formation, this has also been tested in actual combat. The Japanese also held muskets and were beaten to no avail by the Ming army's firearm formation and artillery tactics. 200,000 were defeated by the Ming army forty thousand.

The world's concept of weak combat effectiveness of the Ming army mainly comes from the Tumubao Incident and the southern Japanese and northern enemy during the Jiajing period, as well as the failure of the Ming army in the twenty years after the Battle of Sarhu, but the combat effectiveness of the army could not be maintained, which was something that ancient dynasties could not do.

The Ming army had two peaks in combat effectiveness. The first peak was during the Five Expeditions of Mongolia during the Hongwu Northern Expedition and the Yongle period. As long as the Mongols could be caught, they could be pressed to the ground to rub and rub, and they were beaten very much. The second peak was from the rise of Qi Jiguang to the end of the three major expeditions of Wanli. During these two periods, the Ming army's combat effectiveness was very considerable.

The first decline in the Ming army's combat effectiveness began with the Tumu Fort Incident. The demise of the Wuxun Group made the force left over from Zhu Di cleaned up completely, and the Ming army entered a state of disagreement. From Emperor Jingtai to Emperor Zhengde, except for the slightly rebounded during the period of Emperor Hongzhi, the overall Ming army showed a decline. During the Japanese turmoil in the southeast of the early years of Jiajing, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army fell to the bottom.

It should be explained that the era of severe decline in combat effectiveness in the middle and late periods of the army began to change from the Jiajing period. The Japanese riots in the southeast and the Mongols in the northwest brought serious threats to the Ming Dynasty, prompting the Ming Dynasty to begin to rectify the military combat effectiveness problems that have declined since the Tumu Fort Incident. Especially the Japanese riots in the southeast, which shocked the Ming Dynasty no less than the battle to defend the capital after Tumu Fort.

The vulnerable combat effectiveness of the Ming army guards deeply hurt the hearts of the rulers, so they made great determination to rectify the army. It was against this background that famous generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou took to the stage of history, kicking off the sharp increase in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army during the Jiajing period. Among them, represented by the Qi family army, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army once rose to the point of the founding of the country.

Qi Jiguang's existence was not just about defeating the Japanese pirates to resolve the Japanese riots in the southeast. Its more profound significance is that his skill of training and leading troops was inherited by a group of Ming generals. His overly brilliant record showed a phenomenal significance, which led to a period of great improvement in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army's combat effectiveness in the period from Jiajing to the late Wanli period. Most of the tactics of firearms used by the Ming army to cooperate with infantry combat in the later period came from Qi Jiguang's improved firearm tactics during the period when Qi's army guarded Jizhen.

The firearm formation and artillery tactics proposed by Xiao Ruxun were derived from Qi Jiguang's tactics against the Mongols, especially the vehicle and cannon maneuver. After realizing that the Yuanyang formation could not deal with the Mongols, Qi Jiguang proposed a concept and then implemented it. Over the years, he built a powerful mobile firepower force. He used his genius ideas and actual execution to provide a sample for the combat mode of the Ming army in more than a hundred years.

Civil officials looked down on Qi Jiguang's identity as a military general, but they did not dare to look down on his genius strategic thinking and tactical planning. Starting from Qi Jiguang, the firearms began to enter the second stage in the Ming army. The firearms of the first-generation fire door gun system developed by China were gradually abandoned. The second-generation firearms were widely cited. After Qi Jiguang played tricks, except for the Liaodong system that contempt the Southern people as usual, troops from other places more or less accepted the second-generation melee guns.

Qi Jiguang's significance to the Ming Dynasty was definitely not just to pacify the Japanese in the southeast. Pacifying the Japanese in the southeast was a tactical victory. The Qi family's army guarding Jizhen brought a leap in military strategy, and the maturity of his military thought was also completed during this period. Qi Jiguang's military vision was sharp and his execution was strong. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, no one was better than his.

Xiao Ruxun admired Qi Jiguang very much, admired his military vision, admired his execution ability, and the strong military discipline of the squadron. Qi Jiguang and his Qi family army would definitely be in the top three. It was under such a historical background that the last peak period of the Ming Dynasty in Jialongwan kept up with the pace of the world. If it weren't for Qi Jiguang, Xiao Ruxun's path would have been a long, long time.

So when the Siamese and Burmese people saw that the Ming army had strong execution power and had great shock, it was conceivable that the Ming army had never used force in front of them before, but now it was a situation where strategy and combat power flew together.

Sneak attack on the thief camp, destroying its weapons, food and grass, shakes its morale, causing its morale to be unstable, and its combat power is sharply reduced. The head and tail cannot look after each other, and the first sign of defeat is revealed.

The artillery troops were suppressed with superior firepower, and while they gathered together, the troops were dense, and the power of one shot could kill dozens of people and hundreds of cannons, causing all the elephants to die. The elephants fled in fear, regardless of the enemy and us, and there were many people trampling on the thief army, which was enough to shake the army in front of the army.

If the front army is shaken, the central army will be unstable. If the central army is shaken, the entire army will be unstable. Three artillery fires scattered the spirit of the bandit army and made them depressed. The army suddenly pressed forward, with awesome momentum and high battles. How could it be invincible to use our sharp army to fight against his depressed soldiers?

The front army of the bandits collapsed, the soldiers fled in all directions, surged backwards, pushed and trampled, and directly attacked the army's formation. The front line of the bandits' army was unstable and panic was in panic. In addition, our firearms and crossbowmen attacked from a long range, and many people killed them. Infants, swords, shields and hands pressed step by step, and gunmen raised their guns and stabbed them. The bandits could not enter within one meter of our formation. Wherever the formation went, the bandits turned into flesh and blood.

In this way, the morale of the bandits was in chaos, and there were many people shouting and crying. One passing by ten or a hundred. The military formation completely collapsed, and the central army was in chaos. Even if the commander overwhelmed the formation and gathered the army, my formation was approaching, and the bandits were just gathering and collapsed immediately. My formation faced the commander's army, and the two sides fought bloody battles. The commander was brave and brave, and he was unable to turn the world back.

After three rounds of artillery defeated the Burmese elephant soldiers, when they saw the elephants stomping in the Myanmar military formation in fear, Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang knew that the battle had been won, and the subsequent development could only represent the results of the Ming army, how many main forces of Myanmar can be killed, and whether they can destroy their 100,000 elite troops in one battle.

"Let the Siamese consume the Burmese troops and physical strength. After they become powerful, they will suddenly attack their military camps, destroy their food and grass, shake their morale, and then suddenly attack them with artillery to make them retreat like soldiers and directly trample their military formations, giving our army an opportunity to take advantage of. In this way, our army can kill the most cave martial thieves at the lowest price. Ji Xin, your plan is done."
