The battle is over!

With the fall of the last row of cavalry, the battle ended.

As the smoke filled the gunpowder, the big flag with the words "Shun" still stood there, holding the flagpole in his hand, Hao Yaoqi stood there kneeling, with corpses around him.

The injured soldier moaned in pain, and was with the writhing sounds made by the war horse...

"Hao, Mr. Hao..."

The wounded soldier lying in a pool of blood looked at Hao Yaoqi, his voice becoming weaker and weaker. His eyes became more and more desperate.

"Go, go..."

Looking at the dead brother, Hao Yaoqi wanted to stand up, but he was so weak that he couldn't stand up at all. Even his intentions became more and more blurred. Before his consciousness disappeared, he saw the official army shooting him...

When the rumbling cannon sounded, Li Zicheng was still dreaming, holding a palace maid in his arms. Although he was an imperial commander, he was not alone by his side. However, it was not the queen who was lying down, but the palace maid who was accompanying him. After being awakened by the cannon sound, he immediately stood up and said in surprise.

"What's going on?"

After saying that, he walked out of the door in his middle robes and opened the door. The sound of cannons was heard more clearly.

"Where is the firecracker?"

Staring at the direction where the sound of cannons came, Li Zicheng asked in surprise.

Soon someone came in to report the information outside the city. After learning that the Ming army had successively penetrated Dashun's defense line, Li Zicheng said in surprise.

"Hurry, please ask the military advisor, prime minister, and Ruhou come over to discuss matters."

At this time, Li Zicheng still needed to issue an order, but in just a moment, they rushed to the palace by themselves. As soon as everyone met, Liu Zongmin reported it.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ming army sneaked into the defense line east of our Dashun City at night, attacked tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry in a row, and broke through four long trenches outside our city. It has approached only two miles away from the city. I have ordered the generals to fight back as much as possible and must not let the official army approach the city. However, the official army's offensive is fierce, and even the counterattack has made no progress..."

Liu Zongmin's report made Li Zicheng feel nervous. He never thought that the situation would be so urgent. So he said anxiously.

"Military advisor, what should I do?"

Perhaps because he was anxious, Song Xiance did not count on his fingers like the past, but said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, now the plan should be done to repel the official army first! Then, then..."

Before Song Xiance could finish speaking, Sun Kewei said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I think that for the sake of this plan, I should immediately retreat north to the capital and join Bohou as the best!"

Sun Kewei's suggestion was immediately approved by Liu Zongmin.

"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is very much. It's better to retreat as soon as possible!"

"retreat……"

Li Zicheng's face immediately became ugly.

retreat!

If this is spread, Dashun's face will be put there, and the emperor, the emperor, personally led the expedition, but fled back to the capital in shame. If this is spread, how will the subjects in the world view Dashun?

Even if it had just been a few days since Li Zicheng had completely set his position and put himself in the position of the emperor.

Although Li Zicheng did not speak, everyone still saw what he was thinking, and Liu Zongmin spoke very directly.

"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of burning firewood when I stayed there. If I only wanted a false name, how could we be today?"

If Liu Zongmin didn't take it directly, why don't everyone know what he meant? Of course, Li Zicheng also heard it. How embarrassed was the eighteen horsemen entering Shangluo Mountain back then? But what happened later? This foundation was not achieved by showing off his strength.

"Yes, but my army's war has attracted worldwide attention. If we withdraw from the capital now, how will the subjects in the world regard me assured?"

As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, Liu Zongmin said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, what do the subjects in the world think of us is not important. What matters is Dashun's world. If Zhu Ciying formed a four-sided encirclement of us, Dashun will be completely over by then! Then if Chongzhen had seen the opportunity earlier, how could he have ended up in that field?"

This is a loyal minister!

If there were loyal ministers like Liu Zongmin in the Ming Dynasty, how could Chongzhen be hung on the crooked tree in Coal Mountain? Of course, more importantly, Chongzhen's own indecisiveness led to all this. Liu Zongmin's reminder made Li Zicheng's heart tight, and the appearance of Chongzhen hanging on the tree immediately appeared in his mind.

Although he was quite unacceptable to retreating like this, Li Zicheng was a bachelor. He was still hesitant and immediately decided.

"Since everyone thinks it should be withdrawn, then just withdraw! But..."

After a pause, Li Zicheng said.

"How to withdraw the law? We must first discuss it. We must not leave hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, nor can we let the Zhu ones take us in a pot!"

Li Zicheng felt so depressed!

Originally he wanted to eat this plate of pork, but he turned into the meat in the mouths of others. Fortunately, he was used to being a thief, and naturally he did not forget his old skills when he saw that the situation was not good.

It's better to escape as soon as possible!

Almost as Li Zicheng made this decision, a violent explosion sounded again. This time the explosion sounded closer. The raindrops not only landed on the long trench outside Baoding City, but also on Baoding City. For a moment, the violent explosion sounded like summer thunder, echoing over the city, like a giant drum in the sky, and it couldn't beat it there, and then, and then, it sounded, but it seemed to hit Li Zicheng's heart. He felt irritable and uneasy, and even walked outside the house several times and stared at the sky in the distance.

Although it was about to be bright, black smoke pillars were reflected in front of Li Zicheng's eyes. Staring at the smoke pillars, a trace of ominous thought suddenly appeared in Li Zicheng's heart.

Could it be that Baoding City is the death place for me, Li Zicheng?

In fact, if it were a few days ago, Li Zicheng would never have had such an idea. If it were good, he would not have taken any risk. At that time, he thought that he would replace the Ming Dynasty, which was the will of heaven, and the will of the five elements cycles. But the current situation was far beyond his expectations.

Even the reason why such thoughts arise in his mind was that the war situation was not smooth, and of course there was another reason that the Tartars said that he was also good at water and could put out fires, but why was he still defeated by the Ming Dynasty?

Why can't water extinguish fire?

"If the fire is big enough, it will definitely boil the water!"

Talking to himself, Li Zicheng stared at the smoke pillar rising into the air in the distance, and suddenly said in a shocking voice as if he had realized something.

"Oh, it's over, it's over, I forgot to count this. Fire, fire, fire, firearms are also fire. This is the fire assisting fire! The energy of the Ming Dynasty is really supplemented by the firearms?"
