Chapter 242: Is it a little bit dangerous?
The process of seizing the city gate was much simpler than what Sun Yingyuan had imagined at the beginning, and the city defense system of Dongyu Royal City was not as rigorous and powerful as Zhu Xieyuan said.
This is just a remote small country after all, and it is incomparable to the Central Plains dynasty.
Eight people seized the city gate, and Sun Yingyuan immediately led the rest to rush forward.
Two hundred people were left to guard the city gate and occupy the upper part of the city wall. Sun Yingyuan followed the instructions of the "tour guide" to head towards the palace of the Dongxu Dynasty.
He arrested four or five people and asked them in Burmese. The directions they indicated were basically the same, so they should not be wrong.
The battle to seize the gate was too fast, and the defenders of the Tou Dynasty had not yet reacted, mainly because the riots were not quickly transmitted to it.
The Ming Empire army marched too fast, and they ran towards the palace. When the Dongzhao people along the way saw it, they hurried to hide on both sides and took the initiative to give way.
They had no idea of the origin and purpose of this army, and they thought it was the latest combat troops of the Tou Dynasty, which made them even yearn for it.
Three thousand people quickly came to their palace.
Sun Yingyuan and Liang Chen raised their hands, quickly shot the guards in front of the palace gate with a few shots, and then pushed open the palace gate.
"Lying on the ground, holding your head with both hands, to avoid death!" Sun Yingyuan shouted in Burmese language that he had just learned a few words.
Liang Chen caught a palace maid and asked in Burmese, "Where is King Ta Long? Take us to see him!"
The palace maid was so scared that she couldn't speak. Liang Chen shot her away without saying a word.
Then he grabbed another person, and the man said a lot at the moment, but Liang Chen didn't understand, so he asked him to lead the way.
The military situation was like fire. At this time, the battle was a time difference. Before their army could react, they would eliminate King Talong and the royal family of the Dongyu, and the Dongyu Dynasty would naturally collapse!
King Talong was discussing the military affairs of the front line with several ministers at this time. Those who could be called to the palace to discuss things were all knowledgeable and talented.
One of them, named Kuntai, was the favorite minister of King Talong. Because Kuntai was a language genius, proficient in Western, Ming Dynasty Mandarin, Mongolian and other languages, he was an important foreign minister of the Dongyu Dynasty.
This battle with the Ming Empire was finally resolved through foreign diplomacy.
After all, war is just a means, not an end, and both sides need a balance point in the end.
Although King Long felt that his 100,000 army would definitely be able to expel the army of the Ming Empire, he could not guarantee that he could continue to fight the Ming Empire.
After all, other surrounding countries are eyeing each other, and this country needs to cultivate and rest, and cannot fight for a long time, otherwise the supply will not be able to keep up.
At this time, a truce with the Ming Empire was a very urgent matter.
"Your Majesty, I think that the Ming Dynasty rashly invaded our territory is a provocation to us. After the victory, they must ceded part of the land in Yunnan. Only in this way can the people in the country see the majesty of the Dongyu Dynasty." One of the ministers said with great enthusiasm.
This man is a general who showed outstanding combat capabilities in fighting against Thailand. It was the time to show his sharpness.
He believed that the 30,000 troops of the Dongyu Dynasty were eliminated by the Ming Empire because General Hulantu's personal ability was not good. This time he wanted to lead a hundred thousand troops to attack, but was injured in the last war, so King Long asked him to take a good rest.
However, the general who went to the expedition this time was his disciple. It should be no problem to get his seven-point true teachings and wipe out the Ming army.
After all, it is a team of war elephant cavalry, and it is invincible!
King Long did not think so well. Although he thought the Dongyu Dynasty could win, he probably wouldn't lose less after the war.
Kuntai said at this time: "Your Majesty, I learned from the deserters that the Ming army that invaded the Dongyu Dynasty held firearms like Westerners, which were very powerful. I am afraid that the outcome of the war would not be so optimistic.
At present, we should still take the initiative to reconcile with Ming, and there is some movement in the surrounding countries."
These words of him were exactly what King Long was worried about. He got the news from the deserters and defeated soldiers that the Ming army that invaded the Dongyu Dynasty this time was completely different from the Ming army before.
They do not have armor, do not use long swords, but use firearms, and also thrown explosives, which are very powerful.
King Talong felt that there were some exaggerated elements in these contents, but at least all of them were well-equipped firearms, so there was no mistake.
From this point of view, this team is very difficult to deal with.
As soon as Kun Tai finished speaking, the general shouted: "How can you be more ambitious and destroy your own might? Just muskets. Our war elephant cavalry is invincible. The war elephant will trample all the Ming army and their muskets into pies!"
He said this, and suddenly, a riot sound came from the door. King Long was in a bad mood after listening to the analysis of the two, and immediately frowned and said, "What's going on? Go and see!"
The guard on the side just walked to the door when the door was kicked open.
Liang Chen raised his hand and shot several guns, shooting several guards who were about to take out the weapons, and then shouted sternly: "Everyone is lying on the ground, don't move!"
Looking at the several guards lying on the ground, including everyone in King Talong, were frightened and stood still, motionless.
The general who said that the firearm was not worth mentioning was even more devastated at this time, and his face was even worse and his trembling.
Liang Chen was talking about the Ming Dynasty's official words, but Kun Tai understood it. He quickly translated it to King Long and others, and then he all fell down.
After hearing the translation, King Talong said, "I am the king of the Touo Dynasty. Who are you?"
Liang Chen could not understand the silly Burmese language. Seeing that this man was disobedient, he shot him directly.
He saw a blood hole breaking out of King Long's head with his own eyes. The general who had just shouted sat on the ground, and then the smell of a bad smell gradually came from the ground.
"Your Majesty!" Kuntai looked at the fallen King Talong and subconsciously went forward to support him. As a result, it was natural that King Talong's body fell heavily to the ground.
A generation of kings died so hasty because of one more sentence.
When Liang Chen saw the performance of Kun Tai and others, he realized that the person he had killed just now seemed a little difficult, so he asked: "Who is he? Who of you understands the Ming Dynasty's official language?"
Still Kun Tai was trembling and said in the less standard Ming Dynasty: "This is the king of our Touo Dynasty, and we are all subjects of the Touo Dynasty.
Are you soldiers of the Ming Empire?"
Liang Chen was also stunned for a moment when he heard that he accidentally killed the king of the Dongyu Dynasty.
A living King Dongyu is of course more valuable than a dead one, but now people cannot be resurrected by death. Since they are already dead, they can also be used.
"What's your name? Do you want to live?" Liang Chen asked Kuntai directly.
Kuntai immediately replied: "My name is Kuntai. I want to be alive."
Although he was a little grateful for King Long's kindness, he still wanted to continue to live because he had not lived enough after all.
"Come with me and help me control this royal city. I can promise you a good official position." Liang Chen said.
If it was Liang Chen, the previous garrison, his promise might not be of great effect, but if he could truly seize the royal city of the Dongyu Dynasty, then with this contribution, he could at least get a title. At that time, it would be fine to arrange a small official for Kuntai.
Kun Tai naturally did not dare to resist at this time. Moreover, when he saw Liang Chen and others attacking in, he thought that the army of the Ming Empire had attacked in, and he had no resistance at all.
Of course, even if this is not the case, just relying on Liang Chen's terrifying firearm just now, he felt extremely frightened and could not calm down.
With Kun Tai's help, Liang Chen and others quickly cleared the palace of the Dongyu Dynasty, shot all those who resisted or fled without following orders, and the rest were tied up and imprisoned.
Then the first batch of real enemies, more than 2,000 guards were welcomed.
Kuntai walked forward, looked at the head guard commander, and said, "The King and all the princes are dead, the Dongyu Dynasty has perished. Don't resist fearlessly. Now surrender, the Ming Empire will not blame you, but you can also give you a chance to make a free choice.
If war starts, even if you are captured in the end, you can only be a slave. Babu, don’t let them die in vain. The soldiers of the Ming Empire will be invincible."
Upon hearing this, Babu looked at Kuntai angrily and said loudly: "No, the king will not die. It must be you, a treacherous minister, who is confusing the crowd! Brothers, follow me into the palace and rescue the king!"
Kuntai wanted to say something, but at this time Babu had already led people to charge, which meant that they had chosen to die.
Liang Chen ordered the shooting without hesitation. At such a close distance, although there are only more than 1,000 soldiers from the sharpshooter camp at the city gate, after one round of shooting, the death toll of the guard group led by Babu also exceeded 600.
And this was not the most terrifying thing. Then, more than twenty grenades fell into the remaining crowd. The explosion sounded. Kuntai was so scared that he hurriedly hid in the corner. Then he looked at the wreckage everywhere in Fei and vomited continuously.
In the blink of an eye, more than two thousand people were lost, and the rest were shocked and ran away in panic.
They could only run back because this was a palace wall and there were no other roads on both sides.
However, when the beast reveals its fangs to the hunter, it means that its fate has been decided.
Liang Chen did not order a ceasefire, and the soldiers of the Sharp Shooting Camp continued to shoot.
Each of them carried fifty bullets, and even if the hit rate was only half, they could massacre 75,000 people.
What's more, he also carried a grenade, even if he faced the 100,000 troops of the Dongyu Dynasty, he still had the power to fight.
No one could escape. More than two thousand guards died on this road, with corpses spread across the palace walls. Kun Tai was really completely convinced by this scene.
He had seen war, nor had he seen dead people. He had even seen the tragic scene of an elephant trampling a man to death. However, the scene in front of him still made him feel a chill on his back.
This is an absolute indifference, and life is like anything that can be discarded in front of these metals and gunpowder.
In a short time, more than 2,000 people turned into broken corpses in front of them. Only the blood-stained palace walls and the smell of gunpowder witnessed this scene and saw their death.
Liang Chen had no mercy or emotion. In the quotations of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he taught them to be as cold as the cold wind to treat the enemy.
Mercy is left to the people of the Ming Dynasty, not these beasts that grimaced at themselves.
"Kuntai, there is no resistance force in a group. Let's destroy them. Of course, it would be best if they could surrender." Liang Chen's voice sounded in Kuntai's ears, and at this moment, Kuntai sounded like a devil.
However, he had to obey.
Kuntai still has a great effect. The explosions in the palace and the riots of the guards caused chaos in the entire city. Sun Yingyuan naturally had no energy to manage these, while Kuntai led the thousands of soldiers who surrendered later to suppress the chaos, making the Dongyu Dynasty truly controlled by Sun Yingyuan.
After closing the city gate, Sun Yingyuan ordered no one to enter and exit, and fireworks took off, and a huge "Ming" character appeared in the sky. The communication soldiers hidden somewhere quickly passed the telegram to the Ming army camp.
At this time, the Ming army and the army of the Dongyu Dynasty had just begun war.
The elephant soldiers are very majestic. The huge war elephants are covered with some special vine armor and are not afraid of arrow shooting. When ordinary cavalry war horses encounter tall war elephants, they will be frightened and flinched.
Under such circumstances, the elephant cavalry can use their spears to easily knock the enemy down with their condescending advantages, and then the battle elephant will ruthlessly trample the enemy into flesh paste.
In such a war, the advantage of the war elephant is undoubtedly.
However, they were facing the new army of the Ming Empire, the full firearmed Ming Jingzhang team. Although Sun Yingyuan left, the remaining more than 1,700 people were still equipped with advanced flintlock rifles, and among them were 2,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who used the 262 bolt-action rifle of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xieyuan mobilized these most advanced firearm troops together and formed a tight formation.
At the beginning of the war, it was a intensive round of artillery bombing.
The first to be affected are those war elephants.
Such a huge target happens to become the target of the artillery. If it falls in one shot, even if it hits a crooked shot and falls to the feet of an elephant, it can break an elephant leg due to the power of the explosion.
If a huge war elephant falls down or jumps up suddenly, it will throw the soldiers above and kill them directly. Unfortunately, it is a blessing to be stepped on by the war elephant and even overwhelmed by the fallen elephant.
Even more unlucky, the shells fell on the elephant's back and several cavalrymen were blown away directly. After the elephant was injured, they ran wildly, directly storming the formation of the Dongyu Dynasty army.
The elephant, which they were originally relying on, now became the death talisman for the soldiers of the Dongyu Dynasty.
After a round of artillery bombardment, the scene of Canyeol made the Ming army embarrassed to take action.
Why do you feel a little bit like taking advantage of others' danger?
