Chapter 274: The Death of the Great Ling River

Slaughter the city. Eight [one??] Net ])).} There is life on the battlefield of almost every era. It has also been criticized.

Now, the Jin soldiers' massacre of Dalinghe City is alive.

Liao Blood Wolf died in battle.

When he finally fell, Liao Blood Wolf was shot with arrows all over his body, and the whole person looked like a hedgehog leaking blood.

After the city was broken, the defenders of Dalinghe City still insisted on fighting to the death and not retreating, even if Liao Blood Wolf also fell, his soldiers still refused to surrender and fought to the death.

However, there were so many Tartars that they froze in, and despite the valiant battles of the defenders, they were eventually defeated, and the soldiers gradually became fewer and fewer.

Blood flowed all over the city.

Dolgon was also shocked by the stubborn resistance of the defenders of Dalinghe City. At the same time, a fear rose in my heart. If the Ming army was as desperate as the defenders of Dalinghe City, would they still be able to capture Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan so easily? Can they continue to plot the mountains and rivers in the Daming Pass?

Dolgon's face was gloomy as he looked at the fewer and fewer defenders who were still resisting to the death, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his right hand made a gesture of chopping.

This is the signal for the slaughter of the city. He said that after the city was broken, there were no chickens and dogs left.

More than 4,000 defenders came out of Dalinghe City, and there were more than 5,000 strong people, who basically moved to Dalinghe City in response to the government's call in the past year.

A group of Tartar soldiers in bright armor rushed into Dalinghe City, killing people when they saw them, and cutting them whenever they saw them, so that no matter whether you were a soldier or a citizen, old or young, even a child or a two-year-old child, or a pale old man, saw it was a knife.

After more than a year, Dalinghe City has once again become a purgatory on earth, and it has escaped from a Shura slaughterhouse......

Later, Dolgon ordered Jin Guoqi to organize the people to clean up the corpses and ruins of Dalinghe City, which took three days. And in many places, blood stains have soaked into the mud walls, and they can't be washed away......

After the slaughter of the city by the Daling River, Dolgon ordered Sakhalian to lead 5,000 Jin soldiers and 2,000 Jin Guoqi troops to defend Jinzhou, while the rest of the men and horses turned around and went to Shanhaiguan.

There is no threat to Liaodong, it has been completely connected with Dajin's Liaoyang, Shenyang and other places, there is no need to spend too much troops and energy here, he Dolgon has to lead the Eight Banners warriors to conquer every inch of the Ming Dynasty, and he Dolgon has to kill Moli with his own hands to avenge his brother Azig.

Li Zicheng led an army of 200,000 to the east, met Liu Zongmin, who continued to retreat, in Yutian, and scolded Liu Zongmin for scolding his head and face, and then set up a position outside Yutian City, and followed the pursuit of the Houjin Emperor Taiji's 130,000 army (about 100,000 Houjin soldiers, plus about 30,000 Ming troops who surrendered in Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Changli and other places) A vicious battle, Li Zicheng's 200,000 army was defeated and fled.

Huang Taiji pursued all the way to the victory, chased Li Zicheng into the desert and fled, and the Dashun army lost its armor and suffered countless casualties.

After escaping back to Beijing through Xianghe and Tongzhou, Li Zicheng's 200,000-strong army was left with less than 80,000 horses, which was extremely embarrassed.

Li Zicheng, who fled back to Beijing, knew that the Houjin Iron Cavalry was strong, and he led an army of 200,000 to drive a personal expedition but was defeated, even if he gathered all the soldiers and horses in Beijing, the total was less than 150,000, and it was difficult to be Huang Taiji's opponent.

After thinking about it, Li Zicheng decided to withdraw from Beijing and retreat to Shanxi and Shaanxi. That was his Li Zicheng's old nest, and he had been fighting guerrillas there for several years, and when he was at worst, he retreated to the ravines and ravines of Shaanxi to fight guerrillas with the Jin soldiers.

The dignified Emperor Li Zicheng of the Great Shun State was not thinking about how to defend the Beijing Division, drive out the Tartars, and defend the Han Dynasty at this time, but how to fight guerrilla warfare with the Jin soldiers in the future, which is ridiculous and lamentable, so it can also be seen that although he has ascended the throne and called the emperor, he has not fundamentally regarded himself as the master of the world, and the thinking in his bones is still the habitual thinking of bandits and rogues.

Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun, who had been attacking Beijing for less than a month, ordered the withdrawal of his army from Beijing on the third day after returning to the capital after the failure of the Eastern Expedition.

After withdrawing from the Forbidden City, Li Zicheng pondered that it was a pity that he couldn't live in this beautiful palace for a long time, but he couldn't leave it to Huang Taiji to live. So, Li Zicheng ordered the Forbidden City to be burned.

Gu Junen, Song Xiance, and Luo Rucai all advised Li Zicheng not to burn down the Forbidden City, after all, this large-scale royal palace is too precious, this is a work of art that condenses the blood and sweat of thousands of working people, and if it is burned, it will be a crime.

But Li Zicheng did not listen and insisted on burning down the Forbidden City. Gu Junen and the others did not dare to persuade again.

However, it seems that God can't see Li Zicheng's evil practices. Not long after the Dashun army set the Forbidden City on fire and the army withdrew from the capital, a gentle spring rain suddenly fell in the sky, extinguishing the fire of the Forbidden City that was still burning.

However, all the treasures that could be taken away were taken away by Li Zicheng......

Less than half a day after the Dashun army withdrew from Beijing, the Houjin army led by Huang Taiji marched into Beijing and effortlessly took over the thousand-year-old capital.

At the same time, Jimen, Changping, Miyun, Yanqing and other places were also occupied by Jin Bingxun.

Moreover, the 80,000-strong Houjin army, under the leadership of Zierharang and Yue Tuo, continued to pursue the Dashun army.

Then, Dolgon, who had taken Jinzhou, also came day and night, preparing to get involved in the Central Plains.

When Li Zicheng retreated to Zhending, Moli also successfully recovered Kaifeng and Weihui, and successfully rendezvous with Cao Wenzhao.

Zhu Dadian of Shandong also sent troops to march towards Dongchang and Shunde at this time, and sent people to discuss with Moli, and the two armies fought together, turned each other into horns, and recovered Henan and North Zhili together.

Of course, Moli will not refuse, it is much better to have one more ally than one more enemy. Of course, the premise is that the ally must be reliable.

Zhu Dadian took the initiative to march to Dongchang and Shunde, but Mo Li actually couldn't ask for it. Because he had already received the news that Li Zicheng had been defeated by Huang Taiji at Yongping, and had now withdrawn from the Beijing Division, while the Jin soldiers were in hot pursuit.

According to Huang Taiji's ambitions, the Jin soldiers will definitely go south in an all-round way and occupy the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains. And Li Zicheng is inevitably not the opponent of the elite Houjin Eight Banners.

Then, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong will definitely take the brunt, and if they fully take over the territory of Henan and Shanxi, then they will be directly exposed to the soldiers of the Houjin Iron Cavalry.

Of course, if he has a strong backing behind him, Mo Li will naturally not be afraid to confront the Tartars, the problem is that Li Zicheng's Dashun army still occupies most of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu and Henan, although Li Zicheng's Dashun army is unbearable, but it is always a huge force, and it is close to Huguang, in case he is on the front line and the Tatars are dead, Li Zicheng gives himself a moment behind his back, it is enough to drink a pot of himself.

Therefore, now Zhu Dadian is willing to send troops to recover Dongchang in Henan, Shunde in Hebei and other places, undoubtedly sharing a lot of pressure for himself.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhu Dadian wants to expand his territory by himself or really wants to be loyal to Chongzhen and Daming, it can't be regarded as a bad thing for Moli.

At that moment, Moli decided to let Zhu Dadian recover Dongchang, and he led his troops to attack Zhangde and Huaiqing, wanting to join forces with Wei Hong, the general who stayed in Lingchuan in Pingyang.

At this time, the bad news came that Liao Blood Wolf had died in battle and Da Linghe had been slaughtered by Jin soldiers......
