Under the city of Tongguan, because the cannons on Tongguan have long been lost, the Qing army pushed their artillery almost to within 500 meters from the city wall, in addition to bombarding the city wall, there are also 30 red-coated cannons to raise the muzzle, the cannonballs hit the city wall, and directly bombarded the city.

The shells that bombarded the city were used to bombard the flowers, and the killing power was huge, and the 150,000 soldiers of the Dashun army in the city of Tongguan were killed and injured by the flowering shells and suffered heavy losses, and the entire Tongguan was almost bombed into ruins.

Because the Manchus found some craftsmen in Beijing who used to specialize in the production of advanced shells such as flowering shells in the Ministry of Industry, the Manchus can now produce powerful flowering shells in addition to the red-coated cannons.

"Boom Boom"

Thirty more flowering shells entered the city and exploded inside.

At this moment, all the ordinary people in Tongguan City had already fled, and the rest were soldiers of the Dashun Army.

"Ah" There were several flowering bombs that exploded directly in the crowd of the Dashun army, each flowering bomb exploded into dozens of pieces of iron, and the soldiers of the Dashun army closest to the shells were instantly torn into a blood mist by the flying iron pieces, which was extremely miserable.

There are also people who have had their limbs blown off alive and become invalids.

After being bombed for so many days, the whole Dashun army has already lost their morale, and their faces are gray and pale, and they have no fighting spirit at all.

"Boom" is different from the sound of shelling, this is the sound of the collapse of the city walls.

After another round of shelling, on the second day of the first month of the first year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, after nearly half a month of bombardment by 300 cannons of all kinds in the Manchu Dynasty, Tongguan, known as the first barrier in Guanzhong, finally collapsed in the remaining section of the high city wall, and Tongguan was unstoppable.

"Boom!" Duoduo rode on his warhorse, drew the matching sword at his waist, and pointed in the direction of Tongguan.

"The whole army attacked, killed into Tongguan, killed"

More than 300,000 Qing troops shouted and killed the sky, the Manchu Eight Banners took the lead, and the war horses and iron horses took the lead in crossing the city wall that was already in ruins, and entered the Tongguan City.

"Killing" the war horse galloping, a team of white-clad Manchu Qing Zheng white flag soldiers riding on the war horse, along the road in Tongguan City all the way forward to kill, left and right swinging steel knives, all the soldiers of the Dashun army encountered were killed.

"Run"

The 150,000 Dashun troops guarding Tongguan were already killed and injured more than 20,000 people, and their morale had already dropped to the lowest point, and they were powerless to resist.

"Hahahaha, kill" more than 100,000 Manchurian cavalry and Guanning troops chased out of Tongguan, slashing and killing the rout along the way.

Except for a small number of horses, almost all of the 150,000 soldiers of the Dashun army in Tongguan were foot soldiers, and in the face of the pursuit of the Manchu cavalry, most of them were killed, except for some who surrendered, and only less than 10,000 were defeated and returned to Xi'an.

Unlike the Dashun army, which was almost completely annihilated, the Qing army suffered less than a thousand casualties, which was minimal.

"Attack Xijing! Destroy Li Zicheng! "Duoduo is overjoyed, as soon as Tongguan is broken, Li Zicheng's demise is just around the corner.

After the Qing army broke through Tongguan, Duoduo did not order the army to rest, but directly led the Manchurian cavalry and the Guanning army to run non-stop to Xijing, the capital of Dashun, which was menacing.

"Newspaper"

"Your Majesty, the Qing captives have broken through Tongguan and are coming to Xijing!"

"It's over, my Dashun is coming to an end" After Li Zicheng heard the news that Tongguan was broken, he sat on the ground on the spot, looking up to the sky and screaming.

"Your Majesty, run away, Xijing can't hold it." Niu Jinxing came to Li Zicheng with a sad face and cried.

Thinking of him Niu Jinxing, he followed Li Zicheng to rebel for so long, and finally won the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't even enjoy the blessing for a month, and he ended up in a situation where he was chased and killed all the way to the sky and the ground, and finally escaped back to his hometown in Shaanxi, and now he can't even keep his hometown in Shaanxi, and he is about to start running for his life.

"No, you're talking nonsense! Get out! My Dashun is not over yet, I still have 200,000 troops to guard Xijing, and Lao Tzu vows to fight to the death with Qing Dog! Li Zicheng kicked Niu Jinxing over a few times, and roared with a hideous face.

Three months ago, when Li Zicheng returned to Shaanxi, there were only 100,000 remnants in the whole of Shaanxi, but Li Zicheng quickly recruited 200,000 people, but relying on these 200,000 untrained rabble, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops on Xijing.

But Li Zicheng was unwilling, he rebelled for nearly 20 years, single-handedly established Dashun, this is his hard work, his life's hard work, his Dashun must not be over like this, this time he swore to die and fight the Manchu Qing to the end.

"It hurts Lao Tzu to death!" Li Zicheng kicked extremely hard, Niu Jinxing kicked so sadly that he rolled a few heels, only to feel that his sternum was about to shift, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and it took him half a day to get up from the ground.

Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng, who was almost crazy, and didn't even dare to get close to the past, for fear that he would be kicked again, so he hurriedly endured the pain in his chest and fled with a pale face.

"Li Zicheng, your inhumanity blames Lao Tzu for being unjust!" Niu Jinxing clutched his dull and painful chest, stared at the hall behind him with his eyes, and after saying a cruel word, he left without looking back.

A day later, a herald hurriedly ran towards Li Zicheng's place with an arrow representing urgent military affairs.

"Newspaper"

"Your Majesty, the Manchu cavalry has arrived at Xijing."

On the third day of the first month of the first year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, more than 100,000 cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the first to arrive at the west capital of Dashun. On the fourth day of the first month, another 200,000 Qing army Han Banner Army infantry also arrived, and more than 300,000 Qing troops densely surrounded Xijing.

"Qing Yu is so powerful!" Li Zicheng came to the Xijing City Wall to watch, and found that there were no less than 300,000 dense Qing troops.

At the time of the Shanxi War, the Qing army was not even 200,000 people, but now it has nearly doubled in just two or three months, and Dashun is no longer the prestige of the Shanxi War, how to resist.

"Your Majesty, although there are many Qing captives, but the Xijing City is high and deep, and there are 200,000 troops guarding it, it will definitely make the Qing army come and go!" Liu Zongmin persuaded Li to become enlightened.

Xijing is actually Xi'an, has been the capital of many dynasties, its city walls and moats are not much better than Beijing City and Nanjing City, it is indeed a strong city, if Li Zicheng really intends to resist here to the death, it is not easy for the Qing army to break the city.

"Yes, I still have an army of 200,000! I am the Son of Heaven, and I am the destiny of Heaven! It will definitely make the Qing Lu hate Xijing City! Li Zicheng's bloodshot eyes looked at the matching sword in his hand, this sword has followed him for ten years, he has killed I don't know how many enemy soldiers, and this time he will follow him to defend Xijing.

Fleeing all the way from Beijing to Xijing, this is his hometown, the base camp of Dashun, and must not be lost like this. Li Zicheng no longer planned to retreat, and was determined to defend Xijing.

However, Li Zicheng's determination is true, but God does not follow people's wishes, and some people just don't give him such an opportunity.

That night, Li Zicheng had not slept for two days and two nights, and he was sleepy, and returned to the palace to rest under the persuasion of generals such as Liu Zongmin and Li Guo, but he had just fallen asleep, and was immediately awakened by the sound of earth-shattering shouts and killing.

"What's going on!" Li Zicheng yelled in horror.

At this time, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Zongmin and Li Guo, who were holding blood-dripping swords, rushed in.

"Your Majesty, Niu Jinxing and the South Gate guards have opened the city gate, and the Qing army has entered the city!" Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth and said.

"What! Cow Venus, this son of a bitch! Li Zicheng was so angry that his face was innocent, staring at his bloodshot eyes, and he couldn't wait to eat Niu Jinxing's meat immediately.

"In vain, Lao Tzu trusted him so much, he actually betrayed Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu wanted to skin him with his own hands!" Li Zicheng jumped violently and roared madly.

"Boom boom" war horses galloping.

"Kill"

There were dense horses' hooves and earth-shattering shouts to kill in the direction of Li Zicheng's palace, and the soldiers of the Dashun Army along the way could not stop the offensive of the Manchu iron cavalry, and they were defeated and retreated, and soon retreated to the edge of the Xijing Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! Let's go! Guarded by the musket battalion of the last general, His Majesty will be able to escape safely! Liu Zongmin urged anxiously.

Because the musket battalion had shined in the Linggu battle, coupled with the Yinglong army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, after Li Zicheng returned to Xijing, he issued a death order to collect all the muskets, and even let him successfully form a musket battalion of 12,000 people under the command of Liu Zongmin, this musket battalion of 12,000 people was the trump card in Li Zicheng's hands.

Li Zicheng clenched his teeth, his hands trembled a little, leaving Xijing was equivalent to giving up half of his life's hard work, and the Dashun established by one hand was almost about to collapse, Li Zicheng's heart was dripping blood!

"Pass down the order, all the troops withdraw from Xijing and withdraw to Henan!" In the end, he was a hero, and he was very clear about the situation at a critical juncture, and Li Zicheng finally gave the order to abandon the foundation of Xijing.

Li Zicheng will figure it out again, the Shaanxi base camp is gone, he still has some roots in Henan, after arriving in Henan, he can still pull up an army of 100,000, he has made a comeback many times, has a lot of experience, this time it will inevitably be able to make a comeback, he Li Zicheng is the true son of heaven, this world will eventually return to his hands.

Li Zicheng didn't want to think about it, the reason why he was able to make a comeback many times back then relied on the people's will and the support of the people, but now that the people's heart is no longer in him, how can he still have that luck to make a comeback.

On the fifth day of the first month of the first year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was escorted by 100,000 remnants of the army and the musket battalion, defeated from the west gate of Xijing, so far, the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied the capital of Dashun, Li Zicheng's base camp completely fell into the hands of the enemy, and under the pursuit of the Qing army, he had no choice but to retreat in the direction of Henan.

However, in the face of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, including more than 100,000 cavalry, it is still unknown whether Li Zicheng can really escape from Shaanxi and cross the Yellow River into Henan.
