"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Huang Degong was in a hurry, and caught up with Zhu Cihong in the rain to persuade again!

"Huang Degong! The 300,000 elites of Xuzhou and Daming cannot be lost! Zhu Cihong was pulled by Huang Degong, stopped, stared at Huang Degong with dead eyes, let the rain wash away, but didn't blink, his expression was extremely firm!

"My safety is not important, once Xuzhou is not guaranteed, the Qing army will immediately occupy most of the country, hundreds of thousands of elites will be lost, the Ming Dynasty will have no army to deploy for a period of time, and the Yangtze River defense line is also difficult to defend, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger!"

Not only that, once Xuzhou is defeated, Zhu Cihong established the Yinglong Army, it will take a year, and the military and people's hearts will collapse instantly after several big victories, and the Ming army and people will once again be shrouded in fear of the Manchu Qing.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Degong and the others were silent, and even Zhang Kuishan, Ji Feng and the others, who had just come here, were silent there, letting the rain wash away!

In the end, Huang Degong let go of Zhu Cihong's arm.

Zhu Cihong breathed a sigh of relief, although he was the emperor, he was afraid that Huang Degong and others would not be able to distinguish the situation and forcibly take him out of Xuzhou, so that everything would really be over!

"Let's go! Kill the Tartars with me! "Zhu Cihong walked in the rain, full of determination!

"Kill the Tartars!" Huang Degong and the others followed Zhu Cihong and walked towards the outside of the camp.

Although the Qing army together had more than 470,000 troops, more than 100,000 more than the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not have any chance of winning.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's most effective combat effectiveness is nothing more than the Manchu Eight Banners, the original Manchu Eight Banners originally went south when there were 100,000 people, but with the great battles along the way and two successive defeats outside Xuzhou, now the Manchu Eight Banners have been sharply reduced to 70,000, 200,000 Mongolian cavalry has also been sharply reduced to 150,000, and the original 500,000 Han Banner Army has been sharply reduced to less than 260,000.

And the Ming Dynasty has nearly 100,000 Yinglong troops, Zheng Sen's more than 10,000 Quanzhou troops and other elites whose combat effectiveness is not weak, as well as hundreds of thousands of troops from all walks of life, and more importantly, in the rear of Xuzhou, if Zhu Cihong issues the order of King Qin, the army left behind in various places in the Ming Dynasty will come together, at least there are tens of thousands, so that as long as Zhu Cihong holds on in Xuzhou, there will continue to be an army of King Qin, which is not weaker than the Manchu Qing in terms of strength.

More importantly, Zhu Cihong saw that the core of Manchu rule was actually the Manchu Eight Banners, even if the Ming Dynasty was defeated in this war, he would let the Manchu Eight Banners lose everything, and let the Manchus lose the cornerstone of ruling the world.

Zhu Cihong smiled, since God made him the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then he died in Xuzhou, and he had to fight the Manchus to the death, and he would never leave this world to the Manchus no matter what.

In the end, only the six armies of Ying Long's army and less than 100,000 other armies from all walks of life gathered around Zhu Cihong.

"Your Majesty, the last general is guilty, and if you lose the West Gate, you deserve death!" Yan Yingyuan and several other generals guarding the West Gate knelt in front of Zhu Cihong covered in blood and pleaded guilty.

"Indeed, you are guilty! The sin deserves a thousand cuts, but at this moment, I will not kill you, I want you to block the Tartars for me, and fight the Tartars to the death! Zhu Cihong looked at Yan Yingyuan and the others coldly.

"The last general will never disgrace his life, and swear to death not to let the Tartars cross the thunder pool!" Yan Yingyuan and the others almost issued a military order, ready to fight to the death!

Including Yinglong's army, nearly 200,000 troops and Zhu Cihong were besieged in the center of Xuzhou City, among which there was an army of 15,000 people who were very peculiar, all on war horses, and this army of 15,000 people was Zheng Sen's Quanzhou army.

After returning to Xuzhou, Zhu Cihong, out of certain considerations, not only retained tens of thousands of horses in the Quanzhou army, but also collected thousands of horses from all over the place, and formed the Quanzhou army into a cavalry army of 15,000 people.

The Quanzhou army has been trained by the Zheng family for many years, and its combat effectiveness is not under the Guanning army, and it is only a line worse than the Manchurian Eight Banners, the main purpose of this force Zheng Zhilong is to protect Zheng Sen's safety, and he does not plan to fight with the Manchurians at all, but Zheng Zhilong can't imagine that Zheng Sen was taught by Qian Qianyi back then, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch in his mind was too deep-rooted, and it could be compared with Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty, thinking about loyalty to the country all day long. In the end, against Zheng Zhilong's original wishes, the original 20,000 people had lost 5,000 people after the Battle of Xuecheng, this time the Qing army broke into Xuzhou from the West Gate, Zheng Sen originally had a chance to escape from Xuzhou, but he still chose to come to Zhu Cihong's side.

Looking at Zheng Sen's solemn face, Zhu Cihong was secretly relieved that Zheng Sen really did not disappoint him.

Almost all the Qing troops entered Xuzhou, more than 300,000 troops surrounded Zhu Cihong, and more than 100,000 troops were still exterminating the 100,000 Ming troops who were not surrounded, and more than 400,000 Qing troops in Xuzhou City.

Dolgon, Azig and others rode on their horses and appeared at the forefront of the confrontation between the two armies.

"Newspaper"

"Your Majesty, the Tartar regent wants to see Your Majesty!"

Without saying a word, Zhu Cihong stepped on the rain on the ground and walked in the direction where Dolgon was, without fear.

Huang Degong, Ji Feng and the others originally wanted to persuade Zhu Cihong to be dangerous, but when they thought of what Zhu Cihong said, they didn't say it in the end, but followed Zhu Cihong closely.

"Dolgon, do you think you'll win if you surround me!" The distance between the two armies was only a few tens of meters, and in the heavy rain, Zhu Cihong let the rain wash away, staring at Dolgon coldly and shouting.

Dolgon's face was a little gloomy, because he saw Zhu Cihong's heart to fight to the death, although he already had a ninety percent chance of winning this battle, he didn't want to lose too much here.

"The fortified city of Xuzhou has been attacked by this king, you have been surrounded by this king, and you can't escape! In this way, we can know that the mandate of heaven is in my Qing Dynasty, and it is a foregone conclusion that my Qing Dynasty will dominate the world, so why should you resist. If you are willing to surrender, this king promises not to hurt you a hair, and will make you the king of Ming, how about keeping you rich for the rest of your life! Dolgon rode on his war horse, staring at Zhu Cihong with a smiling smile on his face, looking down on Zhu Cihong with the attitude of a victor.

"Hehe, King Ming?" Zhu Cihong's eyes narrowed slightly, but he sneered and said: "Dolgon, you are only a few hundred thousand people, and you dare to put such a big word in front of me, I also advise you, if you withdraw your troops now, return my Ming Dynasty and return my Ming Dynasty, and call me a minister of Ming Dynasty, I promise not to destroy your clan in the future!" Otherwise"

Zhu Cihong's laughter was cold, and Dolgon did not doubt Zhu Cihong's determination.

Staring at Zhu Cihong's smile, Dolgon's heart tightened, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, since this was the case, there was no need for him to leave Zhu Cihong's life.

"Kill," Dorgon yelled.

The Qing army's war horses neighed and rushed violently!

"The emperor retreats quickly! Stop the Tartars! Huang Degong, Ji Feng and others protected Zhu Cihong to retreat on the one hand, and commanded the army to block the Qing army's attack on the other!

In the dark and rainy night, the most tragic decisive battle in the history of the Manchu Qing and the Ming Dynasty began!
