As the artillery fire roared, Mr. Chen calculated the days with his fingers, feeling that he was not far from the day when his wife and children were warm.

That is, it was in front and behind the three-eyed guns at sea.

This largest city in Myanmar has been besieged for seven days. In fact, it was already broken once on the first day and twice in the next six days.

However, this is the capital of Myanmar, and the solid walls and clear fields in Mangyingli are remarkable. At present, breaking through the city has become the most difficult problem in the war for Chen Mu.

On the night before the battle, Shao Tingda, Huang Dexiang and Lou Qimai led their troops to defeat the Burmese ambush, chased the enemy and rushed to the city, and used gunpowder to blow up a door.

However, because Shao Tingda was charging forward, he was shot in the head by the enemy guarding the city, causing the helmet to faint. The enemy intentionally captured the big bald head without the helmet. Before he brought it back to the second gate, he was robbed out of the city by his servants. The left and right divisions of the vanguard army withdrew from the city.

The second city was broken in the morning the next day. Lou Qimai's subordinates saw the Burmese army trying to rest and rectify the city gate. A hundred households led their troops to kill them, so as to start the second siege.

This time, with the experience of the night before, the Ming army rushed to build a cloud ladder, attacked together on the city, and also entered the urn city under the city. Because they had few troops in the city, they failed to pull up the city. Huang Dexiang was worried that the city would suffer heavy losses after breaking the city, so he called Jin to withdraw his troops and wait for reinforcements from the rear.

When Chen Mu led his troops and the baggage arrived the next evening, he did not rush to attack. He used a few days of swaggering siege to dismantle the enemy's fighting spirit, because the three-eyed gun had already loaded the ammunition.

Chen Mu was in the south, Deng Zilong was in the southeast, and Bai Yuanjie was in the west. The three troops did not advance. From time to time, they bombarded the defenders on the city with their artillery troops, which scared the Burmese army so much that they did not dare to fire artillery and crossbows under the city.

At the beginning, the defenders had a strong fighting spirit. Seeing that the Ming army set up camp, they mobilized various types of artillery, and no matter whether they could hit that far, they would have to be hit.

But when they blasted, no matter whether it was Chen Mu or who, I wouldn't mention the regular two-jin cannons of the Ministry of Revenue. The three main generals not only had General Zhenshuo's cannons from the command headquarters, but also several dozen-jin cannons. Even if the defenders were on the city, how could they get any benefit?

Every time the artillery fire broke out in the city, no matter where the defenders were bombarding the city, no matter whether their shells worked or not, no more than half a cup of tea, more shells flew up the city from the city, and even the female wall was smashed to pieces.

The Ming army's artillery was more accurate, and the Ming army's artillery was the most accurate artillery within the range of the existing artillery that did not exceed the visual range.

The same gun mold and the same drilling machine ensure the caliber of the gun to the greatest extent. From a precise point of view, no artillery in the world can surpass them within a thousand steps.

What's more, there is the popularization of artillery soldiers that have emerged. Of course, this is exactly the shortcomings of the Ming army's artillery.

Chen Mu believed that their artillery education was still relatively bad, and regular artillery should have come out of the martial artillery hall, but there are too few academies now, so it is too insignificant to use officers to set off artillery.

Even so, in just two days, the bad habit of Bai Gu's guards who liked to fire artillery was successfully educated by the Ming army with a larger caliber. Although Chen Mu didn't know whether their artillery was broken, the artillery was killed, or they were completely afraid of being beaten.

In short, no more artillery fires were heard in the city. Even if the Ming army occasionally bombarded the city, the Baigu city was silent except for screams. Even after four days of gunfire, the defenders on the city seemed to be numb to their shelling.

No one spoke any more.

Believing in Buddhism and seeking the next life may be a great advantage, and they are more likely to accept their fate than others.

Just as Chen Mu thought his combat intention had been achieved, he received news from Lin Manjue, the captain of the northern guerrillas in Baigucheng.

After Lin Manjue divided his troops to guard the main road, spreading gunmen among the dense forests, intercepting and killing the Burmese army more than a dozen scouts sent to the north for several days, a large number of Bai Gu people left the city from the north, fled north, blocking the official roads, and even crossing the jungle - he couldn't stop them.

"Mang Yingli is planning to defend the city to the death. He is a smart man."

Chen Mu said this, and he confirmed that Mang Yingli's move was particularly ruthless. He determined from the interception of the scouts that the elite Ming army in the north had a blockade ability far beyond his imagination, and could not give up his father's Baigu Capital, so he had to come up with such a solution.

He forced all the people to the north. The Ming army could intercept and kill teams of scouts after team. It was impossible to kill all the people, and it was even more impossible to stay.

If the Ming army wanted to keep all these people, let alone how much force and energy they would put in. Just to support these people, they could finish the Ming army's rations in half a month in three days. Before the war was finished, the Ming army was retired.

And the most important thing is that this can achieve the strategic goal of Mang Yingli and send the news that the Ming army besieged Bai Gu to his father Mang Yinglong.

There is no need to understand the details. These people should know roughly what they should know, and even if they tell Mang Yinglong, there will be no change in essence.

The only problem with Mang Yingli is whether his father will return to Baigu. If he returns, everything will be fine; if he doesn't, Baigu will have to die.

No other results.

"It's quite cruel. Think about it, Mang Yingli is in the city. What should he do?"

The muddy man, who had been sleeping for several days, yelled to attack the city first, but Chen Mu didn't want to attack. He said, "I think when Mang Yingli drove the people out of the city, he should send troops to his own house to get all the food and grass collected. Since the vanguard army defeated his army, he has not opened the city gate since that night."

"The vanguard army has only captured many heads, and there are only many corpses outside the city. Those three or four thousand people have not returned to the city. They have collapsed to the north and turned into chaos. Mangyingli should not have many soldiers now." Chen Mu raised his hand in the tent and pointed to the Myanmar city to the north and said, "That's all he can rely on."

"We need military rations. He drove the people out of the city just to send the news to the north to get more reinforcements. Bai Gu went north and traveled at least 1,100 miles to reach the large camp of Mang Yinglong's troops. The news was sent over. Mang Yinglong came to help another 1,100 miles. Mang Yingli had to hold on for a long time, and he also needed military rations."

"In the past, Baigu was the royal city of the Meng clan. The Mang clan occupied the magpie's nest. The people here were not loyal to him. Now he drove the people in the city north. Although this was beneficial to the temporary war, it lost the hearts of the people in the Burmese people and was not a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty."

"Since that's the case, why don't we give him this opportunity to raise military rations for us." Chen Mu raised two points to Bai Gucheng and said, "I'm just around the corner to break through the city, so I'll let him live for three more days. Three days later, the three armies will bombard the city, open the city, chase the dead and chase the north!"
