When the decisive battle with Jianlu in Liaodong, the Ming army had already set a record of firepower. But at that time it was mainly due to heavy force, with not many rockets, and not many launches.

Now, the application of multi-tube rocket launchers has doubled the number and density of rockets, which will once again set a record.

In order to achieve maximum damage, the landing field chose a sandbank extending to the river on the other side of the river. The width was not very large, and only a battle formation of two or three thousand people could be set up.

However, when the Burmese army counterattacked wildly, all the artillery fire on the other side would pour on the enemy's heads, with an unprecedented density.

The heavy force was that all the rockets were fired, which had no effect on the battle formations of the Ming army landing. On both sides of the landing field, ships would also be loaded with Franc cannons to provide cross-fire cover for the Ming army landing forces.

This arrangement was very vicious, fully leveraging the advantages of the Ming army in firepower, using a small number of landing troops to attract the Burmese army to attack, and give it major damage, thereby undermining its morale.

Although it is vicious, it is a dignified battle, without any strategy of crossing the river or controlling the feint attack. It depends entirely on strength to win, which is also the way to win with the smallest variables.

For the Burmese people, they have no choice but to fight to the death. Moreover, with a dignified battle, they have no room for a plan to carry out their plans, and they just have to fight to the death.

In one day, more than 20,000 local soldiers arrived at the front line. This put the Burmese army at a disadvantage in terms of total number of troops, leaving only the Ava River as the only one.

The Burmese army also equipped a certain number of muskets, and they saw the power of muskets when fighting against Portuguese mercenaries, either seized or bought them.

But these muskets are old-fashioned mesh guns, and their performance cannot be compared with the Ming army in terms of performance. As for artillery, there are even fewer ones, which in the eyes of the Ming army are all old-fashioned goods.

More importantly, the Burmese people do not have the ability to produce firearms themselves. Even ammunition is purchased from outside.

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the Burmese were doomed to fail at the beginning of the war, and the subsequent resistance was only extended.

All local officials such as the Na family, Pu family, Sha family, and Dao family came to the battlefield. They not only cheered for their goodwill to the Ming army, but also observed and learned. In the court, it was also a shock to the chieftain.

After the local officials led their territorial troops to the Ava River, they immediately tied up rafts and bamboo rafts according to the orders and stationed on the wide river bank, which could also play a certain role in hindrance.

After several local officials reported to the Central Army camp, they returned to their respective camps together, and there was inevitably some discussion.

"Tomorrow's general attack will definitely succeed." Yuanjiang Na clan has a long history and is very strong, but he can't help but sigh at the combat power of the Ming army. "The Burmese struggled to death, but it only killed more people and consumed more ammunition."

Sha Yuan nodded repeatedly and said, "If it weren't for the limited transportation of ammunition and drug supplies, it wouldn't be difficult for the Ming army to conquer China and Myanmar all the way."

Dao Hejiang smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? If all the places in Myanmar are captured by the Ming army, what will we do in the future?"

The officials of the land thought and responded quickly, and they agreed with Sha Yuan.

"Brother Dao's words are reasonable." Sha Yuan said: "This anti-Myanmar war has caused heavy losses. In the future, the looting of land and weakening Myanmar will depend on our joint efforts. The Ming army should not make any major moves, but will only help."

Na Shi touched her chin and beard and said, "If the local soldiers also had the weapons and equipment of the Ming army, the coalition forces of various families should have a good chance of winning."

"Thinking carefully about what Lord Wang said today is quite meaningful!" Pu Shi narrowed his eyes and said in thought: "He seems to say that there is a country outside Myanmar, which is very weak."

Dao Hejiang smiled and said, "India should be the place in the Kingdom of Heaven. Lord Wang just said that it means that there is a lot of land in the world, and if you have the ability, you can grab it. The Ming army will provide appropriate help."

"I heard of Tianzhu Kingdom. Are there monks everywhere?" Na Shi suddenly said, "Is it the place where Tang Monk obtained the scriptures?"

"No matter where he is, we will fight together in the future if we have the chance." Sha Yuan said: "If the local soldiers can change their muskets, they don't need too much help from the Ming army. As long as one or two thousand artillery soldiers, they will be almost sure of winning."

"Isn't it just money? I should be the one who spends money to hire Mingjun." Pu laughed and said, "I guess right, everyone."

Everyone laughed, they were not fools. They all heard what Wang Sanshan said, and also understood the court's future ideas and practices.

At this time, Wang Sanshan was sitting in the central army's tent, looking at the layout of a large map after researching.

From a long-term perspective, or to implement the emperor's long-term strategy, Mandalay and Ava City must be in control, that is, to occupy it firmly for a long time.

From Mandalay - Ripple - Dam - Impal - Kohima... This is the shortest distance from Burma to India.

But to enter India, there are two major obstacles in Myanmar: one is the Qindun River, which has a river surface of 1,000 meters wide; the other is the Mingjing Mountains, which are 2,500 feet above sea level and a 50-kilometer range.

Even if these two obstacles are not easy to overcome, they are much more realistic and safer than walking on the Himalayas.

Moreover, the emperor's entry into the South Asian subcontinent and even directly to the Indian Ocean was not a short-term and urgent requirement.

In other words, the emperor did not feel dissatisfied with it after spending more than ten years, or even decades, to open up the road to seal.

Just a long-term strategy, Wang Sanshan gently patted the map and looked at Awa City again.

……………………………………………….

This is a bright morning, sunrise, morning glow, and clear sky, making the new day full of ritual.

The sound of trumpets and drums sounded in the Ming army camps, the flags were swaying, the army was opening, and the decisive battle against Myanmar began.

The Burmese army on the other side also acted nervously and prepared for countermeasures, with only one goal, to defeat the Ming army's attempt to cross the river and defend the last barrier of Awa City.

Through the story of the Myanmar soldiers and Burmese generals who fled back, the Burmese army also knew that the Ming army had artillery rockets with a long range, and did not dare to approach the river bank too close to the river bank to fight.

But it was too far away and could not enter the battle in time, so it launched a counterattack against the Ming army crossing the river, which made Bianya Jian very embarrassed.

Finally, the Bianya Sword can only adopt a dense arrangement of troops to ensure the timeliness of the troops being deployed.

The so-called "sparse in the front and dense in the back" can be understood literally. To put it bluntly, the troops in the front are fewer, while the troops in the back are heavy.

Because the Ming army had only limited ships, the first batch of ferries would definitely not have too many troops. The Burmese army could invest in the front and counterattack the Ming army that had landed on the shore.

If the counterattack is successful, it is naturally the best. Once the counterattack fails, the Burmese army will quickly invest in the heavy troops later, use its advantage in force to drive the Ming army out of the river.
