October 1752 CE
They next survived the month-long siege by the Hanthawaddy army of several thousand led by General Talaban himself and repulsed the invaders in a rout.
The news spread, and Alaungpaya was soon mustering a proper army from across the Mu Valley and beyond, using his family connections and appointing his fellow gentry leaders as his key lieutenants.
Success drew fresh recruits everyday from many regions across Upper Burma.
Most other resistance forces as well as officers from the disbanded Palace Guards had joined him with such arms as they retained.
Alaungpaya has emerged by October 1752 as the primary challenger to Hanthawaddy and driven out all Hanthawaddy outposts north of Ava as well as their allies, the Gwe Shan.
