Chapter 831 The Ming army surrendered to Mubang, and the troops pointed directly at Awa!

Mangguli understands the truth that the lonely city is difficult to defend. In addition, Mubang City is not big. On weekdays, he uses 6,000 troops to guard the surrounding dangerous passes and fortresses. In fact, there are only more than 5,000 defenders in Mubang City.

.

Holding for one month is to give chicken soup to the subordinates to calm the hearts of the people. His actual psychological expectation is to hold on for half a month. As long as he can hold on for half a month, reinforcements from Awa City will come to support him.

After the Bagan Dynasty, there were three political centers in Myanmar, or the base of the royal city, namely Awa in northern Myanmar, Bagan in central Myanmar, and Bogu in southern Myanmar.

When Dongyu was founded, the capital was set in Dongyu in southern Myanmar, but the Liangyuan King, who had brought Dongyu back to life in the late Mangyingli period, started in Awa, so Dongyu is now in Awa for many years.

He gathered heavy troops to intimidate the feudal lords of northern Myanmar.

The Mu Gang reached Awa about five hundred miles away, and there was a waterway. It would be enough for half a month to send messengers from him to Awa reinforcements.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Mangoli's expectations.

In just one day, the dangerous gates in the north were broken into three places in a row.

The next day, a group of Dongzhao defeated soldiers fled from the north, and after identification, they were put into the city.

The leader was an intermediate general. He was not seriously injured, but his face was covered in sweat and dirty, and he was extremely embarrassed.

He knelt in front of Mangguli and said with a sad face: "City Lord, we must not defend ourselves. It is because the Ming munitions are too strong.

They only came to the fortress with hundreds of people, first bombarded dozens of red cannons, destroyed the village walls and gates, and then broke in with elite troops. We could not defend at all, so it was a blessing that we could escape back.

!”

Mangguli was shocked when he heard this.

He had known from the defeated soldiers in Shadingzhou that the Ming army was powerful, but he did not expect that the Ming army could set up several camps in one day. You must know that those camps were built on dangerous positions, easy to defend but difficult to attack

.

When he saw this, the defenders in Mubang City were shocked when he heard this. He showed a ruthless look and pointed at the intermediate general who had escaped and shouted: "All nonsense! My gates are strong, only the red cannons can be destroyed. The Ming army

The sudden march was difficult, how could we use dozens of red cannons to attack the city and capture the village?

You must have been defeated without fighting because you are timid and afraid of death and dare not fight with the Ming army.

Those who came pulled down the deserters and chopped them down. Tell the soldiers in the city that if any of the cowardly fugitives are killed, they will be beheaded!"

When Manguli's personal soldiers heard the sound, they grabbed the intermediate general and dragged it outside.

The man came to his senses, struggled wildly, and shouted, "I am wronged! Lord of the City, I didn't run away!"

Seeing that it was useless to shout for justice, the man shouted angrily: "Mangguli, you are a bastard who doesn't distinguish right from wrong, you will definitely not be able to resist the Ming army, you must not be good!"

His voice came to an abrupt end, but he had been beheaded.

Immediately, hundreds of other defeated soldiers who fled back were also killed.

For a moment, all the soldiers and civilians in the city were solemn. Even if they were afraid of fighting with the Ming army, they would not dare to retreat or escape.

Of course, it would be different if you have any thoughts in private.

In the afternoon, the Yunnan garrison, a town as a vanguard, drove to the city first, surrounded Mubang City on three sides, leaving only the south to release it.

The next day, Yang Guodong led the remaining tens of thousands of Ming troops to the outside of the city and set up camp.

Although the Ming army had not taken action yet, the Dongxu Army was trembling when looking at the Ming army's Lielie flag outside the city, the neat teams and the light artillery that were pushed out and placed in the appropriate position.

Some generals and soldiers looked at Mangguli, because the arrival of the Ming army made Mangguli's previous chicken soup (lie) exposed.

With the danger, we must hold the city with a strong village for half a month?

The Ming army reached the city in two days.

It is impossible for the Ming army to transport dozens of red cannons to come?

What are the hundreds of cannon barrels under the city that reflect metal light in the sun?

Mangguli's face was pale.

Seeing the solemn and neat team of the Ming army, he didn't know how to resist it.

There are only more than 5,000 troops in the city now, and even if young and strong men are recruited, it will only increase to 8,000.

How can this person fight against the tens of thousands of Ming troops with powerful firearms?

‘How about surrendering to the Ming army? Now I don’t seek wealth or honor, as long as I can live.’

Manguli was afraid of death. Thinking that after the Ming army broke through the city, he could no longer stop the idea of ​​surrendering.

He immediately attracted a confidant general and said, "I didn't expect that the Ming army was so powerful, so we may not be able to defend this city."

If the city is broken, it doesn’t matter if I die. I am afraid that the Ming army will regret it and harm our family and the people."

After hearing this, the confidant general secretly complained and thought to himself: When you usually suppress the financial resources and material resources for you to enjoy, why didn’t you see you care about their safety?

But he was also afraid of death. He was thinking about whether to use the head of Mangoli to seek wealth from the Ming army.

But the person who betrayed the Lord is so famous that he is afraid that he will not be appointed even if he surrenders to the Ming army. Now Mangguli is meant to surrender, which is just right.

"What does the city lord mean?" the confidant general tentatively said.

"Oh~" Mangguli looked depressed, "Let's surrender. If you send someone to contact the Ming army, you will say that I don't ask for anything else, but I just want the Ming army to protect my life and family wealth after the city is offered."

The confidant general suppressed the joy in his heart, responded to "yes", and sent someone to do the work.

When the other defenders learned that Mangguli wanted to surrender, they all showed contempt.

It’s not that you can’t surrender, but that you killed more than 100 people who escaped from Guanzhai. You ordered that you should not escape with your feelings. You cannot escape with your feelings just to surrender to the Ming army, right?

When Yang Guodong saw Mubangcheng envoy and learned that Mangguli was going to surrender, he felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.

"I thought there would be a small battle, but I didn't expect that the madman power would actually decline. It's really regrettable."

After hearing this, Dong Zhining, the chief officer of the town, couldn't help but laugh: "General, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who are good at doctors have no reputation for being brilliant. This is the best result to be able to defeat others without fighting."

Yang Guodong also knows this truth.

Not to mention anything else, if you really want to attack the city, no matter how smooth the situation is, you will always need to use a few rounds of shells? Soldiers will definitely suffer casualties.

The military affairs department’s contribution to commanding soldiers is not only a matter of how many cities and territory you have acquired, but also how much money and grain you have used and how many soldiers you have suffered casualties.

Therefore, being able to directly surrender a city is indeed the best result for the generals of leading troops.

Because this achievement of the city will still be counted on him.

What is really regrettable is the middle and low-level generals and many soldiers waiting to make contributions.

However, Yang Guodong decided to accept Mangguli's surrender, and the disciplined Ming soldiers handled the case according to the process of accepting surrender to the city.

Yang Guodong also agreed to the request of Mangguli to survive and retain his property. However, as the feudal lord of Mubang in Dongxu, most of his troops would be removed from his power, and at most dozens of people could be kept as guards.

As for whether he would be granted a certain official from Mangguli, it was not something that Yang Guodong could decide, and it must be handled by the court.

One day in Mubang repair, Yang Guodong led the right army to continue south along the Awa River, and drove the villages to capture the city, and the troops headed to Awa!

On the other side, the left army that left Tianma Pass and flowed down the Ruili River were also progressing smoothly.

The difference is that the feudal lord of Donghuo, who was on Meng Mi, could not recognize the situation and did not surrender voluntarily. In the end, tens of thousands of Ming troops led by Yang Zhan destroyed the city and died and destroyed the family.

Ruili River is a tributary of the Great Jinsha River. Therefore, Yang Zhan took Meng Mi and led a large army to continue down the river, with the troops aiming directly at Awa!
