Before the arrival of the Ming Army, Na Ruixuan had been the spiritual leader of the anti-Burmese forces in Southeast Asia. This was because in the past few decades, Na Ruixuan was the only person who had achieved national independence under the oppression of Mang Yingli and his son. A large number of leaders of small countries praised Na Ruixuan and helped him in secret, undermining the Burmese government behind his back.
Myanmar had been conquering everywhere, using absolute force to oppress the surrounding countries into submission. However, this kind of oppression had a limit. If it exceeded the limit, it would no longer be beautiful, and it would cause public anger. Myanmar had caused public anger, so when the Ming Army arrived, everyone threw themselves into the arms of Daming Baba without even caring about their face. They affectionately begged Daddy Daming Baba to help them clean up the Burmese brat.
Na Ruixuan took advantage of the situation and joined forces with the Ming Army, vowing to completely destroy Myanmar. Min Qide looked at the familiar yet strange guy in front of him, and his heart was very complicated.
Na Ruixuan also felt complicated emotions.
Years of being a hostage had not only sharpened his will, but it had also given him a lot of material enjoyment. In all fairness, Mang Yinglong treated the hostage princes of the puppet countries very well. He gave them food, clothes, and luxuries. There was never a shortage of money, and the food was good. Portuguese-style military education was also provided to everyone. It was quite generous. Unfortunately, not everyone had this kind of tolerance. For example, Mang Yingli didn't have it.
In the Burmese palace, although they were mentally tortured, there was no danger to their lives, and there was no material lack. They could also receive a very good education. The foundation of Na Ruixuan's conquest came from the early Portuguese-style and Burmese military education. Min Qide had also learned it. This guy was good at everything, but he was arrogant and conceited. He looked down on the princes of the puppet countries, mocking and scolding them at every turn. Although Mang Yinglong had reprimanded him several times, he didn't seem to change much. The sense of superiority was deeply engraved in his bones.
The more he felt superior, the more he couldn't accept that the person he looked down on was on the same level as him, or even surpassing him and defeating him. That was especially unacceptable.
"Long time no see! Your Highness! "
Na Ruixuan still had a complicated mood as he greeted his old opponent.
"Yeah, long time no see, Na Ruixuan. You've really changed a lot!"
Min Qide stared at Na Ruixuan.
"That's all thanks to your country's king and the late king. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. Your Highness should be well aware of that, right?"
"That's right. I've always felt that if it weren't for the late king, you wouldn't have lived to this day! You ungrateful bastard! "
Min Qide shouted harshly.
"If there wasn't your so-called late king! My country wouldn't have fallen to the point of being destroyed, and I wouldn't have fallen to the point of being a hostage! You are the ones who invaded my country. What are you trying to say?! I'm not a citizen of your country, so how can I be ungrateful?! You were the one who destroyed my country first, the war to restore my country! Fight for the country! How is that ungrateful?! "
Narexuan retorted harshly.
"You!! Guards! Kill this person for me!! "
Min Qide immediately ordered his guards to charge forward with him. Na Ruixuan didn't want to be outdone, so he led his guards to charge forward. The commanders of the two armies started a fierce battle in front of more than a hundred thousand soldiers. You shoot, I shoot. The guards protected the commander's war elephant on both sides, fighting with all their might. They didn't use hot weapons, but cold weapons. This was the first time Min Qide and Na Ruixuan fought face to face, and the fight was very fierce.
This small-scale battle between the two commanders of the two armies ended in a draw. The two of them fought to the end, and the guards around them were almost all dead. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and night was about to fall, the deputy commanders of each camp gave the order to retreat. The two armies each rested and decided to fight again the next day.
When Min Qide returned to the camp, his subordinates all flattered him for his bravery. However, Min Qide wasn't happy, because he realized that the two of them were about the same in terms of strength. No matter who wanted to kill the other, it would be a very difficult thing. This didn't seem like much, but in Min Qide's eyes, it was a kind of humiliation. A long time ago, when they were young, Min Qide often beat Na Ruixuan until he couldn't get up, and Na Ruixuan didn't dare to resist.
At that time, he was so powerful, and Na Ruixuan was so weak. But now, everything had changed. Na Ruixuan, this lowly slave, actually dared to fight with him with his sword. He rode a war elephant that was stronger than his own and challenged him face to face. This made Min Qide's deep-rooted superiority mentality suffer a serious blow, and he became restless.
"That's enough! Get out of here! No one is allowed to come in! "
The irritable Min Qide drove all of his subordinates out of the tent. He stayed alone in the tent, trying to calm his irritable mood.
On the other hand, Na Ruixuan was not in a good mood. In this battle, he not only wanted to test Min Qide's individual combat power and bravery, but he also wanted to test the combat power of their respective armies. The guards on both sides were absolute warriors selected from the army. They were different from those in peacetime. In wartime, the guards were the most valiant soldiers in the army. This was because they were responsible for the safety of the commander. If the commander died, they had to die with him.
Na Ruixuan found that the combat strength of his guards and Min Qide's guards was similar. The similar high-end combat strength of the two armies meant that their strength was balanced. In other words, under the background of the same number of soldiers, both sides should be tied. However, the key was that his and Min Qide's forces were not the same. After probing and synthesizing the information, he determined that Min Qide's camp was about 170,000 people. According to this scale, there were at least 100,000 soldiers.
More than 5,000 of these 100,000 soldiers were killed, and he lost more than 3,000 on his side. This meant that the difference between the two sides' forces hadn't changed much. He didn't have an advantage, and Min Qide wasn't at a disadvantage.
The only difference between him and Min Qide was that he had a backup plan, which was the Ming Army that was currently on its way. His messenger reported that the Ming Army was still a day's journey from here, which meant that the Ming Army could only arrive at the battlefield the day after tomorrow at the earliest. If Min Qide led his army to fight tomorrow, he would have to lead his army to fight. At that time, with his inferior forces against Min Qide's superior forces, how much of an advantage would he have? This was an unknown factor.
