Chapter 579 Zhu Youlang hangs the king of Burma
The complete defeat of the 200,000 main army of the Touo Dynasty in Myanmar marked that the Touo Dynasty had completely lost its offensive ability, and King Talong also lost the vitality to break through the final battle.
However, King Talong had just realized that he had been in a state of full encirclement at this time. He began to draw the defenders from important strongholds other than Dongyu to return to Dongyu, but at the same time he also began to plan a route to break through to Daji Port and escape to Mughals.
However, Zhu Youlang broke his dream of breaking through the final battle.
Zhu Youlang, who was still studying at the Capital University seven years ago, really entered the crash course of the Royal Military Academy because of Zhu Youjia's words. In the past seven years, he was promoted to the commander of a chariot battalion in the first town of the Third Army of the Ming Dynasty because of his high education and the status of the royal family.
Because Zhu Youxiao said that he would attack Myanmar for the Ming Dynasty, he also led his chariot battalion to participate in this war that occupied Southeast Asia in an all-round way.
However, the Third Army fired from Yunnan found that in addition to portable mountain cannons, tanks and giant artillery were not suitable for marching in the mountains at all, and even slowed down the advancement speed of the entire army.
Therefore, according to Fu Dahai's arrangement, the chariot battalions and giant artillery could only temporarily stay in Chittagong and wait until the rainy season passed before transporting them to Touo to prepare to break through the capital of the Touo Dynasty.
However, what Fu Dahai would not have thought was that Zhu Youlang had already violated the orders of his army general, the general, drove his own chariot along the Gornopri River Canyon, and entered the plains inside the Touo Dynasty before the flood arrived.
At this time, the Dongyu Dynasty had only more than 100,000 troops except its capital, Dongyu, and had no power to resist the rapid advance of Zhu Youlang's chariot.
After Zhu Youlang arrived at Dongyu City, the other main forces of the Ming Dynasty had not yet arrived at Dongyu City. Moreover, due to the large number of prisoners of each army, the entire army had become bloated from light and bloated, and the marching speed was greatly slowed down. Therefore, not only hadn't arrived at Dongyu City, but even the nearest first army was still hundreds of kilometers away from Dongyu City.
In other words, Zhu Youlang's chariot battalion will face the 100,000 Burmese troops in Dongyu City alone.
Unlike the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, as a large number of vassals were no longer kept in captivity by raising pigs, Zhu Youlang, the prince of King Gui in this era, was not as cowardly as he had in the original history of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
In the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the only thing he could do was run, from Zhaoqing to Wuzhou, from Wuzhou to Kunming, and then from Kunming to Myanmar. In this life, he continued to move forward, from Huguang training ground to Yunnan, and then into Myanmar, and now he drove straight into the Myanmar capital Dongshuo City.
Zhu Youlang was not afraid of the 100,000 Burmese troops in Dongyu City because he had only more than a thousand officers and soldiers. The thick steel plates and tracks directly crushed all obstacles and bounced open the rainy arrow branches. However, with a loud cannon, the city wall of Dongyu could collapse directly into a huge hole with a diameter of 10 meter.
King Long did not give orders to directly let his 100,000 troops break out of the city and deal with Zhu Youlang's chariot camp in turn, because he did not think that there were only hundreds of iron lumps outside Dongyu City. In his opinion, there would definitely be more Ming troops hidden in secret. These Ming troops would definitely surround him after his army left the city, and thus wipe out his last army outside the city.
Therefore, King Talong did not order his army to go out of the city to attack, but instead ordered the army in the city to block the city gates to prohibit other generals from trying to break out of the city or surrender privately. After all, his most trusted general Mangujie surrendered and became a prisoner, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one would surrender to the Ming Dynasty under the current crisis of national destruction.
King Long did not take advantage of this to break out of the city, but Zhu Youlang drove his chariot and walked out of the holes that had been bombarded several times and entered the city.
A large number of troops attempted to stop the approaching of the chariot battalion and used firearms, swords, guns, bows and arrows, and even artillery in the city to resist, but they were not effective. A rapid strafing at the entrance of the chariot battalion killed countless Burmese troops. When they encountered a wider street, they directly crushed them and advanced slowly from the sea of corpses and blood.
In less than an hour, the 100,000 Burmese army lost nearly 20,000, and the rest of the troops did not dare to approach, so they had to hide in various buildings.
However, the chariot battalion was not polite, and it mobilized on-board artillery from time to time to bombard these buildings. The current Dongyu City is not a modern city, mainly concrete and steel bars, but wooden structures. Therefore, it cannot withstand the attack of on-board artillery, either collapsed directly or ignited a large fire.
According to post-war statistics, as many as 50,000 Myanmar military and civilians were crushed or burned.
When the chariot battalion arrived near the Imperial Palace of Dongshucheng, the Myanmar army that could no longer be pushed could only fight bravely, but they could only encounter the shooting of countless incendiary bombs and bullets, or the chariot battalion directly crushed their bodies, crushing a bloody road in a dense area of tens of thousands of people.
King Long was confused. He could not think of how to deal with such iron lumps at this time, but he now lost the opportunity to escape from Dongyu City.
Zhu Youlang personally controlled the chariot and galloped towards King Talong's palace. King Talong could not organize a decent resistance at this time. Tens of thousands of troops had become a mess and fled everywhere in panic.
Seeing this, King Long knew that his situation was hopeless, so he simply stopped escaping, but sat in the hall honestly waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.
King Long hated him very much, hating that the Ming Dynasty had destroyed the huge empire he had worked hard to manage for many years in an instant, but he had no choice but to realize that no matter how powerful he was, he was still just a shaking tree in front of the Ming Empire.
Zhu Youlang also opened the cabin door at this time and jumped down directly. He also held a rifle and a Ming version of grenade in his hand, which was a thunderclap. He threw it into the crowd in front of him. With a loud bang, he lifted dozens of people. Zhu Youlang directly took the gun and entered the Burmese Palace with the officers and soldiers of the chariot battalion directly.
"Quick Horses notify that we have occupied the city of Touo, and the country of Touo in Myanmar has been destroyed!"
As Zhu Youlang said that, the cigarette he held in his mouth was spit on the ground. As soon as he stepped on his leather boots, he hurriedly stepped into the main hall. At this time, the captain of the Jinyiwei of the Suijun hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Commander, Your Majesty has asked that if you catch the King of Burma, you must strangle to death yourself."
"I know, don't you see that I've been carrying a rope?"
Zhu Youlang didn't understand why His Majesty the current emperor insisted on letting him strangle the Burmese king, but as an officer, he could only do so.
As soon as Zhu Youlang walked in, he saw a man sitting in the center wearing gorgeous clothes, and asked, "Are you the King of He Long?"
King Long nodded.
"According to Your Majesty's will, you will take your life and die!"
As he said that, Zhu Youlang came over and wrapped the rope he brought directly around King Long's neck. Not long after he wrapped it tightly, King Long opened his mouth wide, spit out his tongue, and soon fell to the ground.
