"Damn, you won't be reckless in the future, it's too dangerous." Coming to a dirt slope with a wide view, Zhu Changwu hid his figure, put the mountain bike into the warehouse, and then took out clean drinking water and chocolate and ate it.

If Zhu Changwu could choose again, he would definitely not take risks, but would retreat with his brothers and quasi-dragon soldiers. As for the 50,000 Ming army, there are only a few that he can run, and he can't manage so much.

Through this battle, Zhu Changwu also has a better understanding of his current body, and he also has a deeper understanding of what it means to have more people and great power.

No matter how strong you are, in the face of endless crowd tactics, you will eventually die in battle.

This is also thanks to the fact that the Dashun army is not strong, there are too many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there is no faith, otherwise, I am afraid that his life would have been lost.

After drinking water and eating, although his limbs were still sore, he at least felt some strength, and Zhu Changwu began to call Ling Xiaoyun, telling him his current location and asking about the war.

After learning that Ji Jinkai and they had blocked the siege of the Dashun army, and because the royal tent was destroyed, the Dashun army had taken the initiative to retreat, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. "Well, you're doing a good job, so come and find me."

Zhu Changwu is really tired, if possible, he doesn't want to take a step, he just wants to sleep well and slow down.

......

Just when Li Zicheng sent Li over to look for Wang Qi, Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu came over with a large army.

Finally saw his team again, and Li Zicheng immediately returned to his lofty appearance. "How? How's the war going on there? ”

"This..."Liu Zongmin was a little hesitant.

This battle, to be precise, they lost, and they lost badly.

More than 40,000 people died, but not a single Ming soldier was injured, and he really couldn't say this result.

"What's the matter, but the war is not good?" Li Zicheng observed that Liu Zongmin, who had always been arrogant, was like a little daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, and he twisted it, and his heart suddenly sank. His eyes fell on the other general, Tian Jianxiu.

Tian Jianxiu saw Li Zicheng's gaze, and knew that it was impossible not to speak, so he had to bow his head and say: "The new firearms of the Ming army are really powerful, our people continue to charge, and more than 40,000 people have been killed in battle, but they still can't hurt the Ming army in the slightest, and we are incompetent." ”

"More than 40,000 people died?" Hearing this result, Li Zicheng was also stunned, he didn't expect that there would be such a big loss.

"Yes, but we obeyed the instructions of King Dashun and sent the most ordinary soldiers, and our generals and the warriors of the old battalion did not have any casualties." Knowing that Li Zicheng was displeased, Tian Jianxiu hurriedly added.

"Yes, the dead are ordinary soldiers." Liu Zongmin also spoke at this meeting, answering the question in a reassuring tone.

Hearing that the general and the soldiers of the old battalion had no losses, Li Zicheng's face looked a little better. Then he thought of Zhu Changwu, who broke into his king's tent alone.

Just one person scared himself away, and the army led by Liu and Tian had to face hundreds of Ming troops with this ability, so it didn't seem so surprising that they would fail.

In fact, the Dashun army is not without hope of winning, as long as all the soldiers can not remember life and death, hundreds of thousands of people will charge together, let alone more than 200 people, even if it is more than 2,000 dragon soldiers, it will not be able to stop, and they will eventually be drowned in it.

It's a pity that a thief is a thief, and there is no military discipline at all. When encountering difficulties, the first thing they think of is their own safety and preservation strength, which dooms them to not be able to really fight with all their strength.

It is not a surprise that there will be the current result.

"Three, what do you think we're going to do next?" Li Zicheng didn't look at Liu and Tian. Now he's thinking about what's next. Obviously, they have missed the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, even if they re-order now, after the scene of more than 40,000 people killed in the previous battle, I am afraid that all the soldiers will be jealous, and if they continue to fight, they are just sending them to death.

The three strategists followed Li Zicheng to the bottom of the mountain forest, and naturally thought a lot about this time. Seeing that King Dashun asked, after the three of them glanced at each other, they all made a decision not to fight.

Before thinking about how to deal with the new weapon, they should not fight the Ming army.

At least not in a battle with the Ming army with new firearms, otherwise it will only lose its own strength and let others pick up the advantage.

After the three of them reached a consensus, they said their thoughts in front of Li Zicheng, and finally unified their opinions, that is, to retreat to Taiyuan Mansion first and wait and see what happened.

At the same time, this time I stayed outside the Beijing Division for too long, and I didn't make enough preparations before, and now the army has not much food and grass, so we should find a place to collect food and recuperate first.

Li Zicheng was also afraid of the new firearm, even if everyone meant this, he agreed to the donkey's descent. Just to boost the morale of the army, he still said that after raising enough grain and grass, he would still kill back, in short, the Dashun Dynasty must replace the Ming Dynasty, it's just a matter of time.

Li Zicheng made a decision, and in fact saved his own life. Because in history, although he successfully occupied the city of Beijing, he was soon defeated after a battle with Wu Sangui and the Qing army, and died on Jiugong Mountain not long after.

Of course, there is also a saying in history that Li Zicheng did not die, but became a monk.

But no matter which one is true, in short, because of Zhu Changwu's arrival, he has no chance to fight with the Qing army, and naturally he will not die so early.

The Dashun army retreated, withdrew from the Lugou Bridge area, and after turning the direction, went straight to Taiyuan Mansion.

Ling Xiaoyun also successfully found Zhu Changwu, then carried him on the stretcher exchanged in the system, and turned around to join Ji Jinkai's army.

Zhu Changwu fell asleep again, and after seeing Ling Xiaoyun, he was completely relieved and slept so sweetly. Even when Ji Jinkai brought people over to see this scene, he couldn't bear to disturb it.

The pressure on himself is not small, but in comparison, the pressure on Childe is even greater. I really can't imagine how he captured the Dashun King Tent with the power of one person, it must have been a good fight.

"You all get out of the way, let's carry Childe away. In addition, prepare the carriage, and the inside must be well laid, and the son must not be allowed to make a little mistake. ”

Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng trotted over, as people who have followed Zhu Changwu for many years, the relationship between them is undoubtedly the closest.

As soon as the carriage was ready, the scouts sent out there sent back the news, saying that the Dashun army had begun to retreat, and the surrounding battalions began to pull out of the village one after another, and the direction should be to the realm of Shanxi.

"Alright, I know about it. In this way, immediately send someone to send the good news of defeating the thief to Jingshi, remember to shout along the street, our Ming Dynasty needs a victory now. Ji Jinkai sighed and commanded.

......

Daming Jingshi, Beijing City.

It was getting dark.

The city gate was also locked at this time, and Zhang Ao personally came to the top of the Zhanghua Gate tower with blood and sky, looking into the distance.

The army came out in the morning in the name of a military parade, and it has been more than four hours now, but no news has come back, which makes Zhang Ao and others panic.

They are afraid of getting the news and they are afraid of not having it.

They were afraid, afraid that the news of a sudden defeat would come from the front, and if that was the case, the last force guarding the Beijing division would be gone, and the city of Beijing would become a fish on the chopping block, to be taken at will.

As soon as he thought of this result, Zhang Ao was unwilling.

He has just become an official, and he has gained Zhu Changwu's trust, and he has even met Chongzhen several times, it can be said that it is the time when the future is great, if at this time, the Ming army is defeated, and all his future will be gone.

People are like that, there are things that you don't feel until you get them. But once you get it, you never want to lose it.

Zhang Ao himself is a capable person, especially the painful experience over the years, which is his character of being able to bend and stretch, and he has suffered too much, he will only be more pragmatic than other officials, at least he knows what the people need.

"My lord, it's getting dark, and the cool air is still a little heavy at night, so it's better to go back and rest first, and my subordinates will definitely notify you as soon as there is anything." Blood Changkong stood beside Zhang Ao and spoke out to convince him.

"I can't sleep when I go back, I'm waiting." Zhang Ao shook his head, he really couldn't sleep at this time, because he was worried that once the Ming army was defeated, when he woke up again, Beijing City had already been occupied by thieves.

Zhang Ao didn't leave, and the blood sky was by the side, and the two of them stood on the city tower in the wind, quite lonely.

This is also a matter of no choice, the current Jingshi can be said to be extremely weak, the number of Ming troops in the entire city is more than 1,000 people, this also includes the Jinyi Guard, if it is except for them, the small number will only be more pitiful.

It's like on the city tower at this time, there are only Zhang Ao, Blood Changkong and two ordinary brocade guards. On the top of the huge city tower, there are only four people standing here, and it is strange that they are not lonely.

If there are foreign thieves attacking at this time, even if it is only a scale of 10,000 people, there is a great chance that they can enter the capital and occupy this place.

This also shows from the side what kind of predicament Daming has to face at this time, which is why Zhu Changwu wants to fight and pour his troops. I'm afraid that he also knows that if he doesn't bring enough troops, there is absolutely no chance of winning this battle against the thieves.

The four of them looked from afar, like stone carvings, and did not move for a long time.
