The battle is over!

With the fall of the last platoon of cavalry, the battle ended.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the big flag with "Shun" still standing there, holding the flagpole Hao Shaoqi kneeling there, surrounded by corpses.

The wounded soldier groaned in pain, mingling with the mournful screams of the horses......

"Hao, Hao Ye......"

The wounded soldier lying in a pool of blood looked at Hao Shaoqi, and his voice became weaker and weaker. And the gaze became more and more desperate.

"Let's go, let's go......"

Looking at his dead brother, Hao Shaoqi wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand up at all because he had no strength, and even the meaning became more and more blurred......

When the rumbling cannon came, Li Zicheng was still dreaming, holding a palace maid in his arms, although it was a royal conquest, but he was not lonely by his side, but it was not the queen who was lying down, but the accompanying palace maid, after being awakened by the sound of the cannon, he immediately got up and exclaimed.

"What's going on?"

After saying that, he walked outside the door in his middle coat, pushed open the door, and heard the sound of the cannon more clearly.

"Where are the cannons being fired?"

Staring at the direction from which the cannon sound came, Li Zicheng asked in surprise.

Soon someone came in to report the information outside the city, and after learning that the Ming army had broken through the defense line of Dashun one after another, Li Zicheng exclaimed.

"Quick, quickly invite the military advisor, the prime minister, and the Marquis of Ru to come over and discuss the matter."

At this time, Li Zicheng was still needed to pass on the decree, but it was only a moment's effort, and they rushed to the palace by themselves, and as soon as everyone met, Liu Zongmin reported it.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army took advantage of the night to sneak attack the defense line in the east of my Dashun city, with tens of thousands of cavalry chain attacks, even broke through the four long trenches outside my city, and has now approached the position of only two miles away from the city, the minister has ordered the generals to fight back as much as possible, and must not let the officers and soldiers come to the city, but the official army is attacking fiercely, even if it is a counteroffensive, there is no progress......"

Liu Zongmin's report made Li Zicheng's heart tighten, he never thought that the situation would be so urgent. So he said urgently.

"Strategist, how should this be?"

Perhaps he was anxious, but Song Xiance didn't pinch his fingers like in the past, but said urgently.

"Your Majesty, the plan now is to try your best to repel the officers and troops first! Then, then ......"

Without waiting for Song Xiance to finish speaking, Sun Ke said urgently.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for the sake of today, it is better to immediately retreat north to the capital and join the Marquis of Bo!"

Sun Ke's suggestion was immediately approved by Liu Zongmin,

"Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is very true, it's better to retreat as soon as possible!"

"Retreat ......"

Li Zicheng's face immediately became ugly.

Fall back!

If this is spread out, Dashun's face will be put there, he, the emperor, will drive the expedition in person, but he will flee back to the capital in disgrace, how will the subjects of the world look at Dashun?

Even if he has just ascended the throne for a few days, Li Zicheng has completely put himself in the right position, putting himself in the position of the co-lord of the world and the emperor.

Although Li Zicheng didn't speak, everyone still saw his thoughts, and Liu Zongmin spoke very directly.

"Your Majesty, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, if you only want to make a false name, how can we be where we are today."

Even if Liu Zongmin didn't mention it directly, but the meaning of his words didn't know the big guy, of course Li Zicheng also heard it, how embarrassed it was to ride into Shangluo Mountain back then, but what about later? This foundation was not created by force.

"But, but my army has attracted worldwide attention, and if I withdraw to the capital now, how will the subjects of the world regard me as Dashun at that time?"

As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, Liu Zongmin said urgently.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter what the subjects of the world think of us, what matters is the world of Dashun, if he Zhu Ciying forms a four-sided encirclement of us, when the time comes, Dashun will be all over! If Chongzhen had seen the opportunity early, how could he have ended up in that step. ”

This is a loyal minister!

If the Ming Dynasty had a loyal minister like Liu Zongmin, how could Chongzhen hang himself on the crooked neck tree in the coal mountain? Of course, what is more important is Chongzhen's own indecision that led to all this. Liu Zongmin's reminder made Li Zicheng's heart tighten, and the appearance of Chongzhen hanging himself on a tree immediately appeared in his mind.

Although he was quite unacceptable to such a retreat in his heart, Li Zicheng was also a single, and he was still hesitant at first, so he immediately decided.

"Since everyone thinks it should be withdrawn, then let's withdraw! But ......"

After a pause, Li Zicheng said.

"How to withdraw this method, we have to discuss it first, we can't leave hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, and we can't let the surnamed Zhu give us a pot!"

Li Zicheng's heart is so depressed!

Originally, he wanted to eat this plate of pork, but he turned out to be the meat in other people's mouths, but fortunately, he was used to being a thief, and he naturally did not forget his old job when he saw that the situation was not good.

It's better to get out as soon as possible!

Almost at the same time as Li Zicheng made this decision, the violent explosion sounded again, this time the explosion was closer, there were raindrops of cannonballs not only fell on the long trench outside Baoding City, but also fell in Baoding City, for a while, the violent explosion sound was like a summer thunder, echoing in the sky above the city, and like a giant drum in the sky, where it could not be knocked ah, bang, sound, bursts but like knocking on Li Zicheng's heart, knocking made him restless, and even walked outside the house several times, staring at the sky in the distance.

Although the sky was about to be bright, the black pillars of smoke were reflected in front of Li Zicheng's eyes, staring at the pillars of smoke, a trace of ominous thoughts suddenly appeared in Li Zicheng's heart.

Could it be that this Baoding City is the place where my Li Zicheng died?

In fact, a few days ago, Li Zicheng would never have such an idea, if he was good, he would not risk his life, at that time he thought that he replaced the Ming Dynasty, that was the will of heaven, the will of the five elements cycle. But the current development of the situation is far beyond his expectations.

Even the reason why such a thought appeared in his heart was not only because the war was not going well, but also because of course there was another reason - Tartar said that he was also a water virtue, and water could extinguish fires, but why was he still defeated by Daming.

Why can't water quench fire?

"If the fire is big enough, it will definitely be able to boil the water dry!"

Muttering to himself, Li Zicheng stared at the pillar of smoke rising into the air in the distance, and suddenly said in surprise as if he had realized something.

"Oh, it's over, it's over, I forgot to count this stubble, fire, fire, firearms are also fire, this, this is fire to help the fire! Is it true that the number of Qi of the Great Ming has been made up by firearms? ”
