King Naresuan II 2007

PLot:

Part II: Reclaiming Sovereignty
Bayinnaung dies in the beginning of the film from natural causes. Thamaracha believes it is important that he go and pay respect to the dead king out of fear that the new Burmese king Nanda would deem it as an insult and attack Ayutthaya. King Naresuan, however, having been raised in Pegu and who regards Bayinnaung as a second father, convinces Thamaracha to let him go in his place.

Upon arriving in Ayutthaya, king Naresuan is informed about the dangers that king Nanda and many factions in Burma are plotting his assassination. At king Bayinnaung's funeral, all representatives from vassal kingdoms are present besides for one. King Nanda sees it as a disrespect and seizes the opportunity to wage war and siege the mountain top city. Naresuan's Ayutthaya army is successful in taking the mountain top city and shows rival Burmese armies the capabilities of the Siamese force. Burmese rivals felt even more threatened by the strength and wits of Naresuan's army. A plot is uncovered by Naresuan's childhood friends that the Burmese are in fact planning the assassination of Naresuan. Upon finding out, Naresuan executes the plotters and declares Ayutthaya free and sovereign from Hongsawaddy. King Nanda and his Burmese are furious and begin a military campaign to capture and kill king Naresaun before his forces and liberated Siamese subjects can reach the river Stow. King Naresuan uses the strategy of a fighting retreat. His forces built a wooden bridge across the river and engage the pursuing Burmese army as they follow. Several battles took place during the crossing. However, as the Burmese forces catch up, the Siamese citizens and forces have already crossed to the other bank. The Burmese, determined to kill/wipe out the Siamese, try to pursue Naresuan's forces by crossing the river. The king is then approached by his revered Buddhist teacher Mon monk Khanchong. Here he is given a special musket, which is capable of firing across the river. According to history, the movie portraits king Naresuan firing the musket across the river Stow, and with one strike, killing the general of the Burmese army. With the general dead, Burmese forces retreated back to Hongsawaddy. King Naresuan and his now independent Siamese forces head back to Ayutthaya and the king declares ; "It's not over yet, there is more work for us to do!"
