As soon as Li Zicheng leaves, Ren Jirong will naturally not die. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ. At this time, even if Li Zicheng ordered them to defend to the death, no one was willing to do it. That oil is not a joke, as long as it is burned, it will be difficult to extinguish, and the death is too miserable. And when the fire pot hits, it will be a large piece as soon as it burns, which is much more terrifying than opening a 'flower' bomb.

Li Yan did not immediately pursue, because the wooden bridge was damaged and had to be reinforced, so that the cannons and baggage could pass with confidence. And the offensive and defensive battle at the bridgehead is indeed tragic, not only is there a thick layer of corpses on the bridge deck, but also several circles of corpses are piled up at the bridgehead. If these corpses are not disposed of, the infantry can only pass first.

He waited for Li Zicheng to withdraw his troops, and then sent half of the infantry, first occupied a point on the west bank, and held this access to attack Xi'an.

"Dispose of the corpse." Li Yan instructed: "Identify it well, all of our people must be found, registered, and don't let the brothers die in vain." The injured were also transported to Lintong for proper treatment by the doctors. ”

Zhao Datong nodded expressionlessly and said, "Got it." The losses this time can be regarded as huge, and at first glance, the casualties are more than 3,000. ”

Li Yan also said with some sadness: "Yes, the loss is very great." However, the brothers will not die or be injured in vain, and the bereavement and preferential treatment that should be given will definitely be given. But he immediately said firmly: "However, you must not be discouraged because there are casualties!" ”

"Humble duty understands. The subordinates will definitely convey the words of the commander to the troops clearly, so that the morale of the soldiers can be kept high. ”

Li Yan snorted and ordered: "It must be cleaned up as soon as possible, and let the large army pass as soon as possible." Xi'an is in front of you, and you have to take it down in one go. Otherwise, if the Qing State in the north makes a move, it will fall short. ”

"Don't worry, the humble post will be dealt with as soon as possible."

Li Zicheng and others, who returned to Xi'an, also gathered in the palace hall to discuss at this time.

This time, I can be regarded as having seen Li Yan's power, and there is actually a trebuchet that can throw a canister of fire oil to a distance of more than 200 steps. Moreover, the tiger squat cannon under Li Yan's command was also very powerful, and in just half an hour, he was able to hit the 'flower' bomb around the cannon more than a hundred steps away, which also surprised him very much. Even if there is no trebuchet throwing 'shooting' fire cans, just being able to shoot such accurate artillery will make him unbearable.

At this time, he had already realized that in the field battle outside the city, there was a huge gap between his troops and Li Yan. Even if he used extraordinary means to 'force' his hands to go down and fight hard, it was just a slight stalemate. However, after a large number of casualties among these brave men, the troops no longer had the courage to continue fighting. If he hadn't retreated in time today, I'm afraid it would not be impossible for him to mutiny. When these soldiers who rebelled were 'forced' to a desperate situation, no one cared about their families and affection, they only cared about their own 'lives'.

Li Zicheng saw that everyone was silent, named Liu Zongmin, and asked, "Zongmin, tell me, how should we guard Xijing?" ”

"I can't help it." Liu Zongmin replied simply: "I said a long time ago that if you want to defend Xijing, you have to keep Li Yan outside Xijing. Now that the Bahe River has been lost, other places can't stop it. ”

"'Jade' Peak, what can you do?" Li Zicheng asked Tian Jianxiu again.

Tian Jianxiu also shook his head helplessly: "It's not good to keep." Judging from today's situation, Xijing is indeed difficult to hold. ”

Li Zicheng was very disappointed, he glanced at Yuan Zongdi again, but skipped it. He just killed Yuan Zongdi's deputy general today, and the most serious casualties today are Yuan Zongdi's subordinates, so he can't ask again.

He glanced around, and his eyes fell on Shi Jincai. He asked, "Jincai, what if you are asked to guard Xijing?" ”

Shi Jincai hurriedly stood up and excused himself: "Your Majesty, Weichen is really powerless. Although he didn't go to watch the battle of Bahe today, he also learned some details from the soldiers who came back. For Li Yan, he admired it from the bottom of his heart. Now Li Yan's weapons and tactics are much better than when he was there, so he naturally doesn't dare to confront Li Yan. And it was not easy for him to keep the 5,000 parts, and he didn't want to lose them all in one battle.

Li Zicheng frowned, he 'handed' the heavy responsibility of training to Shi Jincai, but this Shi Jincai couldn't do his best. It's been more than a year, and less than 30,000 troops have been trained. And now when he needs someone to take responsibility, he doesn't dare to take it, which really disappoints him.

He looked at it for a while, just keeping his eyes on his advisors. Originally, he usually didn't ask these staff members about the war. The role of the staff is to stabilize the localities, establish political power at all levels, improve various systems, and reassure the people. But now the generals are helpless, and he can only try his luck.

Bull Venus is the most pessimistic. When Li Yan first occupied Guide, they did not bargain in Li Yan's hands, but reached a settlement with Li Yan and made great progress after withdrawing from Henan. Now that Li Yan is sitting in the land of the three provinces, and there are so many 'fine' equipment, he really can't think of how to confront Li Yan.

Someone mentioned cooperating with the Qing State before, but it was vetoed by Li Zicheng. They were driven out of Beijing by the Qing army, and it was the Qing army that caused Dashun to lose its direct subordination, so there were few people in the army who were willing to unite with the Qing state, so it was not good for him to mention this matter again.

Without waiting for Li Zicheng to ask, Niu Jinxing arched his hand and said: "The minister deserves to die, he can't share his worries for His Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Song Xiance was also silent. In today's situation, he doesn't see the good side, and his divination doesn't play a role. However, he muttered in his heart, although this 'Eighteen Sons, the Main Artifact' was a legend of the early years of the White Lotus Sect, but now Li Yan, who is the strongest in strength, is also surnamed Li.

Gu Junen saw that the two number one strategists didn't show any performance, so he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, since everyone thinks that Xijing can't hold it, then you still have to make plans early." ”

Li Zicheng sighed weakly and asked, "This is the capital of my Dashun." ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal." Gu Junen said with a smile: "Liu Bang still abandoned his wife and children, was surrounded by Bai Mountain, and Li Shimin also made an alliance with the Xiongnu under the city, which does not affect their fame through the ages." But on the other hand, Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty defended the city of Beijing, and finally hanged himself to death, and died in the country, Your Majesty has to learn a lesson. ”

When he first heard Liu Bang and Li Shimin, Li Zicheng could still be more indifferent. But when Chongzhen was said later, Li Zicheng immediately changed his color. Chongzhen is the king of the dead country, he is the founder of the country, can he be compared? ! However, he didn't scold out loud, after all, he was definitely a loyal servant who could speak so sincerely.

He took a deep breath and asked with a dark face, "Then where do we retreat?" ”
