| dbo:abstract | The battle of Prome was a land-based battle between the Kingdom of Burma and the British Empire that took place near the city of Prome, modern day Pyay, in 1825 as part of the First Anglo-Burmese War. It was the last-ditch effort by the Burmese to drive out the British from Lower Burma. The poorly equipped Burmese army despite the advantage in numbers suffered a defeat. The British army's subsequent march toward north threatened Ava, which led to peace negotiation by the Kingdom of Burma. Following the defeat at Danubyu and the death of General Maha Bandula, King Bagyidaw ordered the general Maha Ne Myo to capture Prome with an army. With superiority in number, the Burmese army divided into three divisions and positioned themselves around Prome in Simbaik, Napadi hills, and the western shore of Irrawaddy river. The Burmese army harassed the British position in outlying regions around Prome by leading small raids but did not commit to an attack on Prome itself. The British army, led by Gen. Archibald Campbell, composed of several regiments of Royal Foot infantry and Madras Native infantry and artillery. On 1 December 1825, General Campbell initiated an attack on the left division led by Maha Ne Myo, while distracting the centre division with a cannon barrage. The left division was stormed with a bayonet charge led by Lt. General Willoughby Cotton and a follow up attack by General Campbell caused a complete rout of the left division of the Burmese army. The British army attacked the center division on the Napadi hills the following day, and due to the bravery of the Native infantry, drove the Burmese troops from the hills. An attack on the right division, situated on the western shore of Irrawaddy river, caused a general retreat of the Burmese army. (en) La bataille de Prome est une bataille terrestre entre le Royaume de Birmanie et l'Empire Britannique qui a eu lieu près de la ville de Prome, actuelle Pyay, en 1825, dans le cadre de la Première Guerre Anglo-Birmane. Ultime effort des Birmans pour chasser les Britanniques de Basse Birmanie, la bataille se solde par une défaite pour l'armée birmane, mal équipée et en dépit de l'avantage numérique. L'armée Britannique suivante, qui marchait vers le nord en menaçant Ava, accéléra le processus de négociation de paix par le Royaume de Birmanie. À la suite de la défaite à Danubyu et de la mort du général Maha Bandula, le Roi Bagyidaw ordonna au général Maha Ne Myo de prendre Prome avec une armée. En supériorité numérique, l'armée Birmane, séparée en trois divisions, se positionna autour de Prome ; une division à Simbaik, une dans les collines Napadi, et une sur la rive ouest du fleuve Irrawaddy. L'armée Birmane harcela la position Britannique dans les régions périphériques de Prome par de petits raids, mais ne s’engagea pas dans une attaque sur Prome elle-même. L'armée Britannique, dirigée par le général Archibald Campbell, était composée de plusieurs régiments de la Royal Foot et d'infanterie et artillerie composés de natives Madras[pas clair]. Le 1er décembre 1825, le général Campbell lança une attaque sur la division de gauche dirigée par Maha Ne Myo, tout en distrayant la division du centre avec un barrage de canons. La division de gauche fut prise d'assaut par une charge à la baïonnette dirigée par le lieutenant Willoughby Cotton, suivie d'une attaque par le général Campbell, qui provoquèrent une complète déroute de la division. L'armée Britannique attaqua la division centrale sur les collines de Napadi le jour suivant et, en raison de la bravoure de l'infanterie des Natifs, bouta l'armée birmane des collines. Une attaque sur la division de droite, située sur la rive ouest du fleuve Irrawaddy, provoqua un recul général de l'armée birmane. (fr) |
