The tenth day of the second month of the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty.
Outside the city of Ava, on the banks of the Ava River.
"Can fly! The enemy can fly! The enemy can fly... There are gods and Buddhas on the enemy's side!"
On the battlefield beside the Awa River, huge shouts like mountains roaring and tsunami rang out, and a quite magical scene was also staged... Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Toungoo Kingdom of Myanmar, who believed that there were gods and Buddhas in the sky, suddenly discovered The gods and Buddhas that only existed in the mouths of monks in the past really appeared before their eyes!
But it seems that this god and Buddha are not on their side, but on the enemy's side!
Because everyone saw that the three huge, round, bald-headed magic weapons like monks flew up from the Ming army's formation opposite.
That one is obviously the God and Buddha of the Ming Dynasty, not the God and Buddha of Taungoo!
King Mahamala, who was sitting on the back of a war elephant, was also stunned by this scene - this is really heavenly! It really can fly! This is how to do? He quickly turned to look at the Taungoo Monk King who was sitting on the back of a white elephant behind him. He saw the old monk with a sacred and solemn face, squinting his eyes, clasping his hands, and chanting sutras there.
This is a battle of wits!
King Mahamala was finally relieved. This monk king was his great-uncle, and his magic power was quite powerful. He could successfully inherit the throne because of his great-uncle's support!
Thinking of this, King Mahamala quickly clasped his hands together and helped his uncle chant sutras... Although his magic power was relatively low, he still had a little bit of it. He has also been a monk, and after returning to lay life, he followed his uncle to practice Buddhism every day. He also donated many pagodas and temples dedicated to the Buddha, so he can definitely help his uncle.
Not to mention, the situation suddenly changed as soon as King Mahamela recited the sutra for a while, and he suddenly heard a sharp scream of "chirp, chirp, chirp".
Needless to say, this must be his uncle's magic!
Thinking of this, he quickly raised his head and looked up at the sky - the sound came from the sky! At first glance, I found the "spell", dozens of "flying spears", dragging flames, roaring from the sky... How did they come? The direction is wrong!
King Mahamala had already discovered that something was wrong, but it was too late, because those "flying spears" had already pierced down from the sky, and they were pierced impartially in the elephant array led by King Mahamala. It was a roar that shook the ground and the mountains! Those "flying spears" falling from the sky actually explode!
This is awesome, these are rockets filled with sugar! It was terrible when it exploded. Fireballs rose and shrapnel flew, killing and injuring twenty or thirty majestic war elephants in an instant. Among them is the big white elephant carrying Lord Monk King!
The elephants that were not brought down were all frightened.
The elephants are big, but very timid. When "Flying Spear" screamed just now, they were already a little timid. Now when the flying spears exploded, they not only made a huge roar, but also burst into flames, and also blew up many of their companions. This was so terrifying that it scared the elephants out of their skin.
The frightened elephant just thought about "Run! Run!" and screamed "Ouch!" while spreading its legs and wandering around like a "headless elephant". Run without looking at what's in front of you and below your feet?
This was not just one or two elephants that were scared crazy and ran around, but one or two hundred war elephants howling and rushing into the infantry and artillery array of the Toungoo Army, and fled, colliding and fighting along the way. It was a stampede. I don’t know how many Taungoo warriors were trampled or run to death by their own elephants without even having a chance to compete face-to-face with the enemy. It was really painful and painful to die.
In fact, elephants are easily frightened, and may collide with their own battle formations after being frightened. The elephant soldiers of the Toungoo Dynasty who have been driving elephants all year round are all aware of this shortcoming. They all carry hammers used to crack the elephant's skull... But now it's not just the elephant who is frightened, but also the people on the elephant's back!
The Ming army has magical weapons that can fly and flying divine spears that can kill people. They are so powerful that they are magical! How can you beat this? Run quickly!
Therefore, some elephant soldiers just want to escape as fast as possible. They don't care about how many people their elephants will trample to death or kill as they charge along the way.
These more than a hundred crazy elephants were running rampant among the tens of thousands of Toungoo troops. It was terrible. The Toungoo army suddenly became a mess.
In the midst of chaos, the second wave of rockets from the Ming army came over! There was another strange cry of "chirp, chirp, chirp" in the sky, and in an instant there was another fire, smoke and violent explosion.
This time it was not the elephants that were bombed, but the Taungoo army formation that had just been smashed into pieces by the elephants.
The soldiers of the Toungoo Army who were bombarded by rockets did not show any more calmness than the elephants. An infantry formation of several thousand people instantly collapsed. The Toungoo infantrymen wearing brown buffalo leather armor shouted and screamed. After running wildly, they saw a huge crowd rolling towards another Dongyu Army formation.
And the Toungoo army formation had just been charged by a crazy elephant, and it was completely in chaos. Now that I see my own soldiers being defeated like a tide, how can I still hold back? In an instant, they also collapsed together. Thousands of people, who had never even fought against the enemy, were scattered by their own people.
Seeing the elephants of the Toungoo Army going crazy, two more infantry formations collapsed in succession, and the third one was about to collapse. Wu Guogui, who was commanding the Ming Army formation, immediately realized that the opportunity for a decisive victory had come!
He immediately adjusted his deployment and ordered rocket launchers and other artillery to turn to bombard the right wing of the Toungoo Army, which showed no signs of collapse.
Then he ordered his right-wing infantry to immediately charge in a column formation towards the left wing of the Toungoo Army, which was about to collapse.
At the same time, Wu Guogui ordered Gao Dejie to immediately lead the cuirassiers to attack, following the right-wing infantry. Once the infantry's attack was successful, the cuirassiers immediately followed up and rushed behind the collapsed Dongyu Army's left-wing formation.
Then he went around to the back of the Taungoo army's right wing and launched a fatal attack!
Wu Guogui's deployment quickly achieved miraculous results. The soldiers of the Toungoo Army, who had already fallen into chaos, were completely helpless and had no one to command them. They could only watch as the Ming army's cavalry rushed from their collapsed right wing to their rear!
Great fear hangs in everyone's mind. I don’t know who took the lead in shouting: "Failed, defeated..."
The left wing of the Dongyu Army, which had more than 20,000 people, also fell into total collapse in a very short period of time.
On the battlefield, there were Donggyu soldiers running wildly everywhere. They threw away their armor and fled while screaming in surprise.
The shouts of "lost, defeated" resounded throughout the south bank of the Ava River and swept into the royal city of Ava in Toungoo.
The nobles and soldiers guarding the city saw the collapse of their own army from a distance, and also saw the "miracle" of the Ming army. They even saw the elephant formation where their king and monk king were being destroyed by the enemy's "sky thunder". "Covering... Monk King Toungoo lost in this "battle of tricks" and became a "missing person". No one has seen him again.
King Toungoo was taken away from the battlefield by a mad elephant. He did not even dare to return to the city to hold on, so he fled to Lower Burma with a few of his confidants, and then fled to neighboring Arakan to seek asylum.
Ava City, which did not wait for the king, naturally lost the courage to resist. On the second day of the Battle of the Ava River, under the auspices of Wang's brother Mang Along, who was invited out of the prison, he surrendered to the Ming army outside the city.
The flying Ming army won their first big victory in Myanmar!
