In the Indochina Peninsula, the border between Dongshuo and Siam, the Bilao Mountains and the Hamiantawang Mountains formed, a large number of Ming soldiers marched along the valley.

After judging that Li Dingguo attacked Dongshu from Yunnan at the agreed time, and the joint fleet led by Zheng Chenggong would arrive at the coast of Dongshu, Zhao Ming gave an order, 20,000 elite Ming troops set out from Thonburi, that is, Bangkok, and would pass through the Santa Pass and run to Dongshu.

On the same day, 10,000 Siamese Army, 10,000 Zhenla Army, 15,000 Annan Army, and about 35,000 vassal soldiers followed the Ming army and entered the valley in a mighty way.

At this time, looking into the valley from the northern foot of Bilao Mountain, elite cavalry were galloping in front, Ming soldiers wearing red cloth armor, carrying muskets and lined up, and artillery dragged by war horses and baggage vehicles, stretching for several miles, extremely spectacular.

Under the banner of Daqi, Zhao Ming sat upright on the horse's back, and Zhang Jiayu, the army joined the army, was introducing the terrain in front to him.

"Regent, twenty miles ahead, after leaving the Santa Pass, he entered the territory of Dongyu. The army left the valley and could reach Maudanmé within one day. In less than five days, he could sweep across the southern part of Dongyu Bogu, Yangon and other cities, and then headed north to reach the city of Awa. Of course, all this was without encountering any obstacles." Zhang Jiayu said looking at the map.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly. This was an ideal state. If Bai Mang relaxed his vigilance because of peace talks and Li Dingguo attacked northern Myanmar, and then Zhao Ming's surprise attack could have a blitzkrieg effect.

However, the battlefield situation changes rapidly and often does not develop as expected, especially when the opponent is still quite strong and has a certain strength.

Therefore, to be on the verge of caution, Zhao Ming had already ordered more scouts to be sent to reconnaissance.

"I wonder if Dingguo attracted the people of Dongyu? If Bai Mang was deceived, this battle would be easy to fight and the battle would end before Qingming Festival!" Zhao Ming said casually.

Zhang Jiayu smiled and said, "From the information obtained before, Bai Mang has been trapped and his border defense is very relaxed. I see that there is no problem with ending the war before Qingming Festival."

Zhao Ming laughed and said, "Haha~Zhiyuan, you are proud."

"Report!" A cavalry rushed over.

At this moment, a scout came on a war horse, facing the crowd, looking at the flag.

Zhao Ming pulled the horse aside, tied the reins, and stood beside the road. Soon, the scout rushed to the front, flew off the horse, and reported on one knee: "Report to the Regent! More than 30 miles ahead, a large number of troops were coming to Santa Pass at a rapid speed!"

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, and it was indeed not so smooth. Dongxu people reacted.

"How many soldiers are there?" Zhao Ming asked.

"Reporting to the Regent, he came from the wilderness, between 30,000 and 50,000. The opponent is mostly infantry, with war elephants mixed in between!" the scout replied.

Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "Continue to explore!"

"Here!" The scout saluted, immediately turned over and galloped away.

Zhao Ming then said to Zhang Jiayu: "The enemy that blocks appeared, and it seems that the situation has changed."

Zhang Jiayu was speechless for a moment and pondered for a moment: "Regent, no matter what changes there are, the most urgent task is not to let the enemy army block the exit of the valley."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the scouts, tens of thousands of Dongzhao soldiers came quickly in the field, which shows that they were actually not prepared!"

"Li Ponu!" Zhao Ming suddenly shouted loudly.

"I'm here!" Li Ponu pulled out his horse and immediately clasped his fists.

Zhao Ming said loudly: "I will make you handsome three thousand elite cavalry, just rush forward!"

"Here!" Li Ponu held his fists and responded.

"Where is Jin Shenghuan?" Zhao Ming shouted loudly.

Jin Shenghuan hurriedly clasped his fists, "I'm here!"

Zhao Ming said: "You lead the headquarters and follow the cavalry and advance forward."

When the military order was passed, Li Ponu slapped out, and three thousand elite cavalry behind him immediately raised their speed, followed him, left the brigade, and galloped towards the mountain pass.

As soon as the three thousand cavalry left, Jin Shenghuan greeted loudly. After a brief mobilization, the six thousand infantry rushed to advance westward and followed the cavalry!

Now the Ming army is twenty miles away from Santa Pass, while the Dongxu army is only ten miles away from the mountain pass, or even closer.

Three thousand Ming army elite cavalry and horse galloped, and a twenty-mile road arrived in a short time.

At this time, Li Ponu took the lead, and the mountains and forests on both sides of the cycling were moving back quickly. The ground in front gradually widened, and the cavalry had already arrived at the entrance.

"General, look!" The cavalry beside him suddenly shouted loudly.

Li Ponu looked up and saw countless figures appearing in the wilderness outside the valley, tens of thousands of Dongshu people, shirtless, holding rattan cards and swords, surrounded by war elephants, and pressing towards the exit of the valley.

The terrain of the pass is narrow. Once the enemy occupy the pass, a solid line of defense can be formed, blocking the main force of the Ming army in the valley.

In this way, it was difficult for the main force of the Ming army to enter Dongxu, and the raid turned into a protracted war.

"Kill! Break them down!" Li Ponu roared without any hesitation, then held up his horse spear and urged the war horse to rush out.

The Ming cavalry did not hesitate at all. The three thousand cavalry roared like an angry tide, followed Li Ponu and rushed directly to the Dongyu army coming from the wild.

At this time, Dongxu was rushing to the road. Hearing the roar of hooves, he saw the Ming cavalry rushing out of the valley. The general led by the leader roared and organized troops to defend.

The people of Dongyu did not expect that the Ming army would charge as soon as they met. Before their formation was set up, it was difficult to form an effective defense during the march, and the Ming army immediately entered the formation.

The Ming cavalry was well-equipped. Most of the Dongyu people were shirtless and their weapons were mainly swords and shields. Faced with the charge of the Ming cavalry, the Dongyu people were constantly knocked away by the cavalry and stabbed to death by horse lances.

Just as the Ming cavalry rushed into the Dongxue people, dust was flying in the valley, and thousands of Ming troops came out of the valley.

"What's the situation?" Jin Shenghuan rushed out of the mountain pass and saw chaos outside the valley, so he instructed his generals.

"Master General Li has rushed into the enemy's formation!" The general raised his gun and said loudly.

Jin Shenghuan looked into the distance and saw that the three thousand Ming troops had already penetrated into the enemy's formation. Wherever the cavalry passed, there was the corpse of the Dongyu people in the area.

"Okay! The whole army obeys the orders, follow the cavalry brothers, and press them on me!" Jin Shenghuan roared loudly.

Before the six thousand Ming troops could complete the team, they rushed directly to the chaotic Dongzhao people.

~~~~~~~

When the army led by Zhao Ming was blocked by the Dongyu people on the border, the combined fleet sailing on the sea had already appeared in the Dongyu waters.

Zheng Chenggong led a fleet of fifteen gunboats, slashed waves on the sea, and sailed towards Yangon.

At this time, on the flagship watchtower, several sailors were holding a thousand-mile mirror and searching for the sea surface at the same time.

Suddenly, a sailor shouted loudly on the watchtower: "Your Highness, there is an enemy ship!"

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly walked to the side of the boat, took out a thousand-mile mirror, and looked in the direction pointed by the sailor.

The circular vision scans the boundless sea, and a fleet of more than ten large ships appears in Zheng Chenggong's vision.

Zheng Chenggong put down the Qianli Jing, looked at the black dots in the distance with his naked eyes, then picked up the Qianli Jing again, pointed it at one of the ships, and saw a flag with a crossed blue bottom and red and white flag hanging on the tall mast.
