Under the attack of the Qing cavalry on both sides, the situation quickly reversed. The Dashun army on the various fronts on the west side of Shanhaiguan was as unbearable as in history, and was immediately defeated.

In fact, until the two white flags of Ajige and Duoduo rushed out, Li Zicheng thought that the Tartars were just an enhanced version of the trap, nothing more than war soldiers, cavalry wearing armor, better weapons and equipment, able to use firearms, and soldiers were even more

Just be brave.

You should know that when the Dashun Army was in Shaanxi last year, it repelled the Mongols who came to plunder in Qinghai, Gansu and Hetao areas more than once. Li Zicheng did not take them seriously at all.

But the facts were far beyond his expectations. The Tatars' cavalry were much stronger than the rumored ones. Tang Tong and Bai Guangen boasted to him two days ago how strong they were. The Tatars were actually vulnerable, but Chongzhen commanded them randomly.

The eunuchs in the military bully and embezzled food and pay, which led to the opportunity being taken advantage of by the Tartars every time.

Although Li Zicheng did not completely believe their words, because the process of capturing the capital was too smooth, he had occupied the entire north, and his heart was full of passion and pride was inevitably thriving.

Now, he is paying the price for his pride and underestimating the enemy. The two main forces of Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang's Dashun Army, more than 40,000 troops, were defeated step by step, and the losses were quite heavy.

However, with Liu Xiyao and He Jin joining the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield soon changed a lot.

Liu Xiyao's seven thousand troops were like a sharp knife that pierced into the formation of the Manchu cavalry. Guided by his commander flag, this powerful Shun army was invincible and defeated the heavy armored soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who were dismounted and fought in the field.

The formation was in chaos, and Liu Zongmin's troops then got a little chance to breathe, and the troops immediately contracted backwards.

The eight thousand soldiers led by He Jin quickly broke into the siege and temporarily stopped the offensive of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

The two sides kept exchanging deaths, golden swords collided, heavy objects fell to the ground, war horses neighed, screams mixed together, corpses and seas of blood were just like this...

However, as time went by, the wind and dust stopped, the number and equipment advantages of the Qing Dynasty soldiers on the battlefield began to appear, and Wu Sangui's Guanning army had also slowed down and began to organize a counterattack.

But at this time, Li Zicheng had no soldiers to send except the three thousand central cavalry camps. The Dashun Army could only use the three-wall tactics he was good at, and he returned and supported him in turn.

Let me say that even at this time, the morale of the Dashun Army was still rising. Except for the two former Ming surrendered troops of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, the rest were veteran soldiers of the Dashun Army who had been trained in Shaanxi, and their combat effectiveness was not weak.

At least, in the current land of East Asia, except for the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, no army with a size of more than 50,000 people had such combat power. Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army is still much short of now. After Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo took power, he suffered in Yunnan.

Only after practicing for a few years can you have the strength to compete with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely because Li Zicheng's army of 60,000 can withstand the fierce attack of Wu Qing's 100,000 elite troops. The victory in recent years still makes them firmly believe that they will be the ultimate winner.

The soldiers of the three armies fought fiercely on the front, and the fronts gradually intertwined and folded each other. Everyone fought with a fierce force and remained unending.

However, the Shun Army had been fighting for two days and came from the capital thousands of miles away. Facing the superior troops of the Wu Qing coalition, they were gradually becoming tired and gradually becoming less supportive.

This is not because they dare not fight bravely, but because the gap between the strength of our enemies is too big, not including the village yong and the defenders of Shanhaiguan. Just Wu Sangui's Guanning army and the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, the troops were already Dashun.

The army is twice as powerful as the army, and firearms have the advantage.

When the Dashun Army was ambushed by the Qing army, it is no longer known how many times stronger than Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and others.

However, because of the decision-making mistakes made by Li Zicheng and Dashun’s senior executives, it is inevitable that this battle will be difficult to win.

Most of the Dashun Army could only fight and retreat. Except for the two newly added reserve teams, the rest of the troops were gradually out of support and retreated.

Li Zicheng stood on the hill and unwillingly glanced at Shanhaiguan, which was covered with blood.

He knew that he had calculated the wrong thing, that poster was real...it was actually real...

But he did not lose his mind. Years of battle hardships have made him calmly deal with various emergencies.

I have been through the ups and downs of more than ten years. What is this temporary defeat today?

Moreover, he knew very well that if he continued to fight like this, the damage would only increase and he could not reverse the situation. He had to pretend to fail, and then organize a counterattack to repel the pursuit of Wu Sangui and the Qing cavalry.

"The order was sent, Liu Xiyao and He Jin led their troops to cover up, and the remaining troops immediately retreated, and the generals and officials must maintain the military system." Li Zicheng came back to his senses and issued the order concise and resolutely.

Although he was defeated again in the face of such an advantageous enemy, the Dashun Army is worthy of being a strong army of this period. There was no chaos among the various units, and it still maintained a considerable system.

However, the situation on the battlefield was much more severe than Li Zicheng expected. The Qing cavalry was waiting for labor and used cavalry to fight against stance, and had stronger mobility. They bit some of the Dashun defeated soldiers and forced them to retreat to the Lao Longtou, south of Shanhaiguan.

At the end of this direction is the sea surface of Lao Longtou, where there is no way to retreat. The defeated Dashun army can only continue to retreat west along the seaside. The final result can be imagined - if it weren't for the Qing Dynasty

The Eight Banners soldiers killed them, or they fell into the sea and drowned...

Soon, the coast of Liaohai was dyed red, and countless corpses were everywhere, either on the beach or floating in the sea, which was a terrible sight.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to regain the troops near Qixingzhai, and then send his Central Army cavalry camp to organize the defeated troops to fight back, and catch the Qing soldiers off guard. However, facing the defeated Dashun Army, Li Zicheng's plan was fundamental.

It cannot be implemented, so I can only choose to continue to retreat to the west.

Liu Xiyao and He Jin led their troops to continue to block the attacks step by step, with heavy losses and thousands of soldiers died directly on the front line. The battle situation was tragic.

After ensuring that the large army had retreated, Liu Xiyao led the remaining two thousand remaining soldiers to retreat under the cover of He Jin.

But in this way, the battle between He Jin's troops and the Qing army afterwards turned into one-sided massacre. The Qing and Wu coalition forces surrounded them, and then used the advantage of firearms to bomb and shoot...

In the end, less than a thousand soldiers under He Jin followed him and escaped the pursuit of the Qing army.
