Liu Zongmin stared blankly at the gray-faced soldier in front of him, unable to believe his ears.

The partial division collided head-on with the long-awaited Chinese troops.

The damage was not calculated, and the adjutant general was killed on the spot.

He felt dizzy and fell into his chair, a strong man who felt only a chill in his body.

He didn't know how the Chinese army moved so quickly and so quickly, and he didn't know when the other party noticed the connection between the landlords and gentry and laid out this trap.

All he knew was that he was defeated......

As more and more of the rout fled back from the front, this defeat became known to more and more Shun soldiers.

Morale is visibly declining.

When the enemy on the opposite side launched a general attack, they no longer had the courage to fight back.

The Chinese army pulled out 11 cities of the Shun army, defeated the Shun army twice, captured tens of thousands of soldiers, killed and wounded tens of thousands, the Shun army completely collapsed, and Liu Zongmin led more than 70,000 remnants of the army to retreat north in a hurry.

When the news reached the general headquarters in Nanjing, there was also jubilation, and even Yan Ling, who was usually unfazed, showed a faint smile on his face.

His eyes were on the map, and at this time, in front of the Chinese army, there was no longer any obstacle, and it was a smooth road.

"Let's activate Strategy One." He said indifferently, and when these words fell, the eyes of everyone in the command were already full of fanaticism.

"Yes!" Yan Shishu said loudly and began to act according to the plan.

For this battle, the military department has formulated several strategies according to the different situations that may arise.

One of the strategies is to turn defense into attack on the premise of defeating the main force of the Shun army, and launch a crusade against Dashun from both sea and land at the same time.

The goal of the battle is to attack from the north and south to end the rule of Dashun in the north.

The navy and transport ships were already in position at the port of Ningbo, and the Fifth Army, which was stationed there, also quickly boarded the ship and headed north after being notified by the military headquarters.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, dominated by Yan Chengfang's corps, quickly swept away the remnants of the Shun army in Shandong, and the troops attacked the city by separate routes, preparing to march to the north and Zhili.

……

"Boom!"

The sound of shelling was deafening, and the smoke of gunfire filled the entire sea.

The soldiers of the Shun army on the shore looked at the sinking ships and were dumbfounded.

And the artillery began to roar again.

The banner that had just been replaced wailed under the fire, fell, and was buried in the dust.

By the time the frenzied bombardment finally stopped, the place was in shambles.

Only the Fu boat, which is still on fire on the sea, and the dilapidated barracks on the shore, tell everyone that this was once the station of the Dashun Tianjin Guard.

Of course, not long ago, they were also the Tianjin Weishui division of the Ming Dynasty.

Huge ships are approaching.

A large number of soldiers swarmed down from the ship.

Their goal was the Tianjin Acropolis, which they needed to capture as a base for advance before the arrival of the large army.

Tianjin Wei had been occupied by the Shun army at this time, although the Shun army had strengthened it to a certain extent, but still failed to block the advance of the Chinese army, and the acropolis was quickly breached, and the soldiers either died or surrendered.

This time it was the 16th Division of the Dahua Fifth Army.

This is only the first batch of troops, and more troops will be sent in the future, and if nothing else, the Fifth Army will all land in the future.

The division commander stood at the head of the city, and behind him, the fire of the Tianjin Acropolis had been extinguished, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and restore order.

It was as if he had seen the city of Beijing in the distance.

……

Beijing.

Wang Chongzu has not been born for dozens of days, and every day, he wakes up from a nightmare.

His temper has gradually become a little violent, and many eunuchs and maids have been executed in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, the 350,000 troops of the southern army were conquered, and more than 200,000 were killed, captured, and escaped, and our army ...... Fiasco. ”

The squire's terrified voice still echoed in his ears, telling him of the pain of this time.

Dashun suffered a heavy blow.

The army that went south was the main combat force of the Shun army, including the old battalion soldiers who followed him to conquer the south and the north, as well as a large number of troops when he was called emperor, which were all real elites.

The first battle was completely cut off, and this defeat, Dashun was directly half paralyzed, and Wang Chongzu's dream of dominating the world was completely shattered.

"Bang!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help kicking over the table in front of him again, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone fell to the ground.

"How did Liu Zongmin fight, he was defeated so badly, my army!"

"Your Majesty, General Liu is kneeling in front of the palace now, asking Your Majesty for his guilt."

"He still has the face to see me...... Let him continue to kneel! ”

Roars rang out from the court.

After Wang Chongzu vented his anger, he took a few deep breaths.

In any case, he is still the master of this dynasty, and he needs to calm down, deal with all kinds of affairs as soon as possible, and deal with the Chinese army that is now rushing forward and attacking everywhere.

However, before he could calm down, another panicked guard came to say:

"Your Majesty, a large number of enemy troops from the sea suddenly appeared on the Tianjin Acropolis!"

Wang Chongzu stood up suddenly, his expression a little shocked.

"What about the Tianjin Sailor?"

He asked in a snap.

"I didn't get the news, but I guess it has been, it has been ......"

Wang Chongzu froze in place.

The Governor's Office of Luzon no longer concealed their relationship with their families, and even after the establishment of the Chinese Dynasty, the establishment of the Governor's Office had been abolished, and a new ruling order had been established by dividing the provinces, which had already been announced to belong to the Chinese Dynasty.

With the exchanges between Nanyang merchants and the mainland, this news was gradually known by various forces on the mainland, so Wang Chongzu also specially strengthened the Tianjin Acropolis and deployed Tianjin sailors here.

He often hesitated whether to decide whether to make Beijing or Luoyang, and it was for this reason.

It's just that he underestimated the generation gap between the two navies, or rather, before this war, he didn't realize the fundamental gap between himself and Dahua at all.

The Tianjin Navy Division could not stop Dahua's navy at all.

After the fierce battle, the Tianjin Navy Division was almost completely annihilated, and the sea near the pier was full of fires and sinking ships.

The eastern gates of Beijing have been opened.

According to the city to the death?

He thought of this, but quickly vetoed it.

Even Liu Zongmin's hundreds of thousands of people can't stop them, a Beijing city, in today's panic and low morale, can it really be stopped?

Maybe it's possible, after all, the city of Beijing is high Chigu, but in any case, he is the emperor, and he has finally come to this day, how can he put himself in danger.

Before Liu Zongmin went south, he didn't think he would lose.

"Order, prepare to drive Luan, I want to go back to Luoyang."

After saying that, as if he remembered something, he said:

"Let Liu Zongmin come in."

"It's time for him to make a meritorious contribution."
