Chapter 1094
In less than two days, only 40,000 of the 180,000 Qing troops remained in the Eight Banners.
Just when this army was vacillating and didn't know what to do, the Great Xia Army made a choice for them. With Shenwuwei as the vanguard, the Great Xia Army took the initiative to attack.
This was really beyond the expectations of the Qing army.
The morale of the Qing army was already low, facing the surprise attack of the Shenwuwei, and dealing with the loss of grounds, internal opinions were not unified. Some chose to face it head-on, and some took advantage of the situation to leave the battlefield.
On the other hand, the Great Xia Army is not only high-spirited, but also well commanded.
Although the Qing army was twice the size of the Great Xia army, they were thrown into disarray by Shenwuwei as soon as they made contact.
The Great Xia Army pursued the victory and reaped the fruits of victory.
This big fight lasted until the evening before it came to an end. By the time the sun went down, dead bodies were strewn all over Shanhaiguan, and there was no longer a standing soldier of the Qing army to be seen.
The Qing army was defeated across the board.
In this way, in less than three days, 180,000 Qing troops aggressively attacked Shanhaiguan, and ended up in a complete defeat, either killed in battle, or deserted.
This is simply a miracle in the history of war.
The root cause is that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty was too shallow, trying to rule the world with a border tribe. It would be fine if there were no challengers, but once a challenger appeared, it would collapse immediately.
And it started with a rout from within.
The defeat of the Qing army in Shanhaiguan opened the prelude to the complete defeat of the Qing camp.
In order not to irritate the Great Western Army, after defeating the invading Qing army, Ouyang Shuo did not lead his troops south to attack Yanjing, but went north again, preparing to capture Shengjing before the end of the battle.
Even so, Yanjing still didn't hold on.
The next afternoon, the remnants of the Qing army from Shanhaiguan returned to Yanjing, bringing news of the defeat on the front line. At this moment, Yanjing, who was already on the verge of collapse, couldn't hold on any longer, and let out his last breath.
In the evening, the Daxi Army successfully entered Yanjing and captured Emperor Shunzhi.
…………
As soon as the news of the fall of Yanjing reached Dorgon's department, there was a wave of deserters immediately. The puppet army directly chose to surrender to the southern coalition forces, and even part of the Mongolian Eight Banners army followed suit.
In this way, the number of Qing troops dropped sharply.
Under the ebb and flow, the southern coalition forces gained momentum, intending to defeat the main force of the Qing army. In order to "make amends", the puppet army who had just surrendered worked the hardest, charging forward, and aimed their swords at the Qing army.
Such a result is really ironic.
No matter how brave Dorgon is, facing such a situation, he is still powerless. The most important thing is that Dorgon suddenly became confused, not knowing what to do.
Yanjing has been lost, and Shanhaiguan is in the hands of the enemy, maybe even Shengjing cannot be kept.
The world is so big that there is no place for them anymore.
Dorgon wanted to stop and fight to the death with the southern coalition forces, "Even if he died, he would have to bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh." The Qing Dynasty was not lacking in blood when it was able to enter the customs from a foreigner at the border and compete in the Central Plains.
Dorgon's idea was good. If the Qing army really wanted to kill them, Li Jing might not be able to confront them head-on. It would be very scary for a desperate army to go crazy.
But some people don't do it.
This person is none other than Dichen.
Dichen had already got what he wanted, so how could he let the Zhou army be buried with the Qing army. Not long after the puppet army surrendered, Di Chen left the main battlefield with the 100,000 Zhou army, preparing to stay until the end of the battle.
This time, Dorgon was completely out of control.
Even if Dorgon wanted to go crazy, Li Jing would not play with him, and the coalition forces chose to encircle rather than attack.
On the contrary, Guo Ziyi's troops brutally strangled Azig's troops, relying on their absolute strength. Although Azige's troops were fierce, the difference in numbers was too large, they were outnumbered, and they were wiped out within less than a day.
Next, the whole battle came to an end.
After Guo Ziyi's department wiped out Azige's department, they rushed to join forces with Li Jing's department. The integrated Southern Allied Forces, together with the troops that had just surrendered, had a total strength of more than half a million.
Facing such an army, Dorgon's troops could only do nothing, and soon followed in the footsteps of Azige's troops.
The final battle was fierce, and Dorgon was determined to defend the last glory of the Qing Dynasty. With an indomitable momentum, he fought head-on with the Southern Allied Forces.
Unfortunately, Dorgon met a shrewd hunter.
Li Jing is so experienced in using troops. He knows how to fiddle with a desperate prey, constantly adjusts the formation, and slowly wears down the enemy's spirit by relying on the absolute superiority of troops.
When the Qing army was exhausted, it was time for the coalition forces to attack.
"If you don't come out, you can kill it with one blow!"
The last blow of the allied forces was earth-shattering, completely crushing the rest of the Qing army with an unstoppable momentum.
The sunset glow of that day was equally red and coquettish.
Dorgon, the hero of a generation, died in battle. According to the rules of the battle, Dorgon has no relationship with the wilderness, because the head of the Qing camp is Emperor Shunzhi, not Dorgon.
…………
On the fortieth day of the campaign, the coalition forces approached Yanjing.
Li Jing only sent a force to Xi'an, and Zhang Xianzhong, who had just captured Yanjing, obediently handed over Emperor Shunzhi, and at the same time handed over the city of Yanjing that had been captured with great difficulty.
It's not that Zhang Xianzhong is timid, but that after defeating the main force of the Qing army, the Southern Allied Army has become the most powerful force. Facing such an opponent, whether Daxi Kingdom can keep Xi'an is another matter, and how dare it stay in Yanjing. Perhaps it was only at this moment that Zhang Xianzhong truly realized that he had been fooled by Ouyang Shuo.
From beginning to end, the Great Western Army was a pawn being used by others.
"He-grandmother!" Zhang Xianzhong cursed secretly, only daring to vent secretly behind his back.
People who don't have a big picture are only worthy of this kind of fate.
…………
The battle finally came to an end when Emperor Shunzhi was handed over to the coalition forces.
Immediately afterwards, the battle announcement sounded.
"Battle Announcement: The battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty has officially ended, and the Ming Dynasty camp has successfully reversed the historical ending."
...
"Battle Announcement: The Battle of Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty is officially over. Now, based on the comprehensive index of players' contribution to the battle and their contribution to the faction, the additional contribution value bonus will be counted."
...
Ouyang Shuo immediately heard a system notification sound.
"System prompt: The player Qiyue Wuyi is a representative of a different person from the Ming Dynasty camp. He united the major forces in the south, worked as one, made a plan, and captured Emperor Shunzhi. He made a great contribution, and an additional reward of 80,000 battle contribution points."
Because there are only three lords, the battle contribution leaderboard will be updated soon.
【Ranking】—【Name】—【Battle Contribution Value】
[No. 1]: Qiyue Wuyi—2,000,000 points
[No. 2]: Phoenix Prisoner—1,700,000 points
[No. 3]: Dichen—500,000 points
So far, the battle is over.
