The defeat of the army is like a mountain, this sentence does vividly depict that on the battlefield, the fear and helplessness in the hearts of the defeated soldiers are like facing the collapse of a mountain, and they have no ability to resist. After the formation was scattered by the Manchus, many soldiers of the Dashun army were helpless and panicked, and finally fell into complete chaos, and all of them had no determination to fight to the death, and some only wanted to avoid the fierce enemy who was swarming if they fled for their lives.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had taken a sharp turn for the worse, all the generals of the Dashun Army couldn't believe what they were looking for, how could this happen when they were about to win, and in Shanhaiguan, there were obviously no troops, how could such a powerful reinforcement suddenly appear now.

"What's going on, what the hell is going on, where did Wu Sangui recruit reinforcements, why didn't our spies find out." Watching his troops go from victory to defeat, a wave of anger suddenly rose in Li Zicheng's heart.

"King, King, it's too late to say this now, let's get out of here first, and when we avoid this edge, we will regroup our army and fight over, if you have any accidents, it will be a big deal." Seeing that the form had taken a sharp turn for the worse, Gu Junen immediately persuaded.

Hearing Gu Junen's words, Li Zicheng immediately whipped over, although it was on his armor, it also brought Gu Junen a burst of pain.

"Bastard thing, it's just a small setback, what's the big deal, I want to run for my life like this, it's really a rice bucket, this king has long said that if you don't take down Wu Sangui's head today, this king will die here, come on, rush down for me, this king doesn't believe it, I have tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dashun army, and I have been defeated like this." After finishing speaking, Li Zicheng drew the sword at his waist and prepared to rein in his horse and rush towards the battlefield.

It's just that Li Zicheng has just been prepared, and suddenly saw a group of more than ten people coming here, and after a closer look, he found that one of them was Liu Zongmin, who commanded the army.

But immediately, Li Zicheng found that Liu Zongmin's face was full of pain, and when he looked carefully, he saw that he had a sharp arrow pierced into his shoulder, and the arrow had pierced his shoulder, and blood continued to flow out, dyeing his chest bright red.

Seeing Liu Zongmin's miserable appearance, Li Zicheng suddenly panicked, you must know that for so many years, Liu Zongmin has followed him to fight in the north and south, although he has not been injured, but he has never been injured so seriously.

"Hurry up, find a doctor, find a doctor." Li Zicheng shouted as he dismounted.

"King, king, go quickly, go quickly, it's too late if you don't go, those reinforcements are not Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, they are Manchu people, they are Manchu Tartars, Wu Sangui has taken refuge in Manchu Tartars, the king is leaving, now our army has completely collapsed, and we can't resist the joint attack of Wu Sangui and Manchu Tartars, it is imperative that the king leave quickly, and then find a quiet place to regroup, so as to stabilize the form, otherwise, the catastrophe is not far away." After seeing Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin suddenly said excitedly, because of the excitement, the blood from the wounds on his body flowed faster, but for these, Liu Zongmin didn't seem to feel it, just grabbed Li Zicheng's arm and said loudly.

"What, Manchu Tartars, how is this possible, isn't there a feud between Manchu Tartars and Wu Sangui, how could they unite." It's just that Li Zicheng's question has no one who can answer him, after Liu Zongmin said these words, he was already completely unconscious, and Li Zicheng had no other henchmen around him except for Gu Junen.

Seeing that the Manchu soldiers in the battlefield were becoming more and more courageous, while his Dashun army was completely incapable of resisting, Li Zicheng's eyes changed continuously for a while, and finally decided to listen to Liu Zongmin's advice and retreat in time.

When Mingjin's voice sounded, on behalf of this battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng was completely defeated, and his opponent, Wu Sangui and the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry also suffered heavy losses, almost completely wiped out, which can be regarded as a defeat for both sides, and all the benefits were obtained by the Manchu Qing who finally shot.

When this news spread, the Central Plains, which was already full of smoke, ushered in an even more cruel era......

"My lord, the nightingale sent an urgent report, saying that in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng's 200,000 army was basically lost by Wu Sangui and the Manchu Eight Banners Army outside the pass, except for a few people, the rest were either killed in battle or surrendered." It was Tong Chenfu who spoke, as a staff officer who helped Shi Lei deal with important military matters, and every time he had some important information, Nightingale would hand it over to him to deal with.

"Hey, hey, as expected, this Wu Sangui is still a traitor in the end, hey, speaking of which, this Li Zicheng can be regarded as a character, but his vision is too narrow, otherwise, this time he would not have been so miserable in the case of an absolute advantage, speaking of which, this is a lesson from the past, and it is worth our reflection!" After Shi Lei heard it, he shook his head helplessly and said.

"Yes, speaking of which, this Wu Sangui is also one of the few figures in the Ming Dynasty, but this time he didn't expect to do such an insulting thing to his ancestors, it's really unthinkable, but in this way, Li Zicheng has a headache, and now the Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui are one, and under the pressure of the army, he is afraid that he will not have a good time in Beijing!" Fang Junchi on the side couldn't help but say, speaking of which, Fang Junchi had also seen Wu Sangui back then, but they were all juniors at that time, Fang Junchi was Mao Wenlong's guard, and Wu Sangui was only a junior under Yuan Chenghuan.

Hearing Fang Junchi's words, Shi Lei shook his head and said, "It has been more than ten days since the news came, if nothing else, now Li Zicheng may have withdrawn from Beijing City, so it should be the Manchu Tartars who are now in Beijing City." ”

"How is this possible, you know, even if Li Zicheng suffered heavy losses this time, but after all, he is strong, with an army of millions, it should not be a problem to defend Beijing City, how can your lord say that?" As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, everyone was immediately shocked, and Dong Qi even shouted.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Shi Lei just smiled and didn't say anything, the reason why Shi Lei spoke like this, in addition to the fact that this happened in history, there is another point, that is, Shi Lei's conclusion after detailed analysis.

After all, in later generations, Shi Lei also doubted, you know, even if Li Zicheng is defeated in a stone, it is still completely okay to want to hold Beijing City, after all, when he attacked Beijing City, Beijing City did not suffer any major damage, and what is Beijing City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, all kinds of defensive measures, not to mention being alone in the world, at least one of the best, but Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing City within three days of great panic after the defeat, which made everyone a little puzzled.

And after arriving in this world, through the news that the nightingale continued to play from Beijing City, Shi Lei understood a little, what is the reason for this, in general, that is, Li Zicheng has become unpopular in Beijing City, and the Dashun Army has quickly become a bandit and a hooligan's endorsement from the righteous army when he first entered Beijing.

In this case, after Li Zicheng's defeat, how could he be stationed in Beijing City with peace of mind, in addition, Li Zicheng's rogue character, once he failed, the first thing he thought of was to escape, so it was not strange that he fled from Beijing City.

Although he knew it in his heart, Shi Lei did not explain it to everyone, but said, "Okay, no matter what these things are now, it is not our turn to take care of them, let's think about what we have to do at the moment, this time, the nightingale has already delivered the accurate news, and Your Majesty is indeed already in the sky, so our top priority now is to inform the world of this matter, and at the same time pay tribute to Your Majesty, and then unite the heroes of all parties to fight against the Qing Dynasty together." ”

"In addition, there is one more thing, that is, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and now that the first emperor has been in the sky, then the prince should also become a great treasure as soon as possible." As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, Jia Hanqing continued, and when he spoke, he kept staring at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei is very clear about Jia Hanqing's meaning, since Shi Lei returned to Xi'an with Empress Zhou and the crown prince, Jia Hanqing and others have passed some analysis, and after determining that Emperor Chongzhen has died, they have wanted Shi Lei to push the prince Zhu Cihong to the throne several times, so as to get huge benefits from it.

It's just that Shi Lei has tried to shirk it several times, not for anything else, but every time he thinks of what has happened in history, especially the fate of Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, Shi Lei is very reluctant to let Zhu Cihong fall into this trap, although now it seems that after ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, he has become a high emperor, but if one day in the future, Shi Lei can't resist the attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and thus fails, then Zhu Cihong will not become another Zhu Youlang, but he does not dare to guarantee, after all, there is no absolute in anything.

Therefore, after several secret persuasions, but it did not work, Jia Hanqing finally decided to make this matter public, thus forcing Shi Lei to agree, not that Jia Hanqing was dissatisfied with Shi Lei, but that Shi Lei could indeed get very huge benefits from this matter, and this is not only a good thing for Shi Lei himself but also for the entire interest group that relies on Shi Lei.

Just as Shi Lei was still estimating the good or bad of this matter, he suddenly heard Tie Xiong come in and say, "Princesses Changping are going to see him, and he has already arrived at the door." ”
