Chapter 338 Li Zicheng Abandons the City and Flees

At this moment, he finally understood how the Tartars were defeated by Liu Meng!

With such artillery, let alone the Tartars, even if they occupied the high walls of the fortified city, wouldn't they be beaten helplessly?
In his heart, he really didn't think highly of the Tartars. At best, the real Tartars, who had less than 10 people, could compare with his army of nearly a million people?
But he didn't know that even without Liu Meng, he really couldn't beat Huang Taiji.

In just one battle, he was knocked down from the emperor's throne, followed by endless pursuit by the Qing army, until he finally committed suicide in Tongcheng, Hubei.

What made Li Zicheng even more desperate was that the artillery fire seemed to be unstoppable. Waves of shelling would come every few breaths.

How does Li Zicheng defend against this?Even if Li Zicheng wants to fight Liu Meng desperately, it is impossible.

what to do?Li Zicheng couldn't help thinking of a way to break the situation in his heart, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a way to deal with the artillery of the Dongjiang Army.

Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who were hiding beside him, were also pale and terrified.

Both of them regretted in their hearts that they underestimated Liu Meng. They had long heard that the Dongjiang Army was powerful, but they didn't take it seriously.

When the two of them thought about it, no matter how powerful the soldiers were, they didn't expect such powerful artillery.

This is not to blame for the two of them, Liu Meng made a move for the first time, although he saw many people, but he did not see Liu Meng use the field run.

The subsequent battles basically took place in Houjin's territory. Even if Huang Taiji lost, he would not disclose the details of the battle.

How did the two of them know Liu Meng's true strength?

At this moment, the two panicked. If it weren't for the Dongjiang army's continuous shelling, they would have dragged Li Zicheng down the city wall long ago.

As for the previous plan to fight against Liu Meng's Dongjiang army according to the city, it has long been thrown out of the sky.

Li Zicheng couldn't think of a way to crack it, and looked at the two of them involuntarily.

Being stared at by Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, who turned pale with fright, immediately shuddered. He knew what kind of person Li Zicheng was.

This is a ruthless man, even though he is affectionately called King Chuang by the common people, but when it comes to killing people, he really kills without blinking an eye.

Seeing him, Niu Jinxing immediately knew that Li Zicheng had to find a way by himself.

Niu Jinxing couldn't help crying in his heart, and said in his heart:

With artillery like the Dongjiang Army, let alone tens of 10 people guarding the city, even if there are twice as many people, don't even think about defending the city wall.

Let me ask, as long as Liu Meng has enough ammunition to keep bombarding like this, even if people can hide and hold on, how long can the city wall last?
Sooner or later, the city wall collapsed, and the Dongjiang army didn't rush in?
Thinking of this, Niu Jinxing didn't want to die here. Looking at Li Zicheng's gloomy eyes, Niu Jinxing said hastily:

"Your Majesty, we can't stay in the capital anymore. The Dongjiang Army's artillery is too sharp to be countered by manpower! When the artillery fire stops, we will immediately take our gold and silver treasures and retreat.

What's the point of leaving the capital, which has no food or supplies, to the Dongjiang Army?Let's avoid his edge and go back to Xi'an to recharge our batteries, wait for him to fight the Tartars to the death, and then we will come out to reap the benefits of the fisherman's profit is the best policy! "

It's hard for him to talk about running away so grandiosely, but Li Zicheng is really satisfied.

He is not a reckless person, otherwise he would not be known as King Chuang, and finally became the Emperor of Dashun.

He also wanted to withdraw from the capital, but he was the emperor, but he couldn't say such a thing himself. With Niu Jinxing and the two who were military advisers, he would naturally not lose his majesty as Emperor Dashun.

Half an hour later, Liu Meng stopped the shelling just as Li Zicheng thought.

It wasn't because the artillery was fired too quickly that the gun barrel became too hot to continue shooting, but Liu Meng's psychological warfare.

Yes, it is best to use dense artillery to frighten Li Zicheng's peasant army. It is best to make his troops unable to muster the courage to fight.

After all, this is the capital city, the political center of China, and it is Liu Meng's final plan to win it without loss.

As for Li Zicheng's escape, Liu Meng was not worried at all. For a guy like Li Zicheng, under the pursuit of the army, Liu Meng did not believe that he could escape for a year as if he was under the siege of the Qing army.

Sure enough, as Liu Meng expected, when the Dongjiang Army's shelling stopped, without waiting for Li Zicheng's order, those Dashun troops who were pulled up to defend the city, from generals to soldiers, rushed down from the city wall in a panic .

They ran back to the streets and alleys, picked up the property they had robbed from the temporary houses, and fled to the only city gate that was not attacked.

At this moment, they only had one belief, that the Dashun Emperor of TN was in charge, so they should go back to their hometown, buy land with the gold and silver they plundered, and be an obedient citizen with peace of mind.

After Li Zicheng fled back to the palace under the escort of Li Guo and his men in the old camp, he discovered that there were hundreds of thousands of troops who went to TN, and only 1 troops from the old camp, Hao Yaoqi and other fierce generals were left behind. There are less than 10 people in his cronies.

At this moment, it is impossible to say that Li Zicheng is not discouraged.

Think about the millions of troops that I have worked so hard to pull up. After such a burst of shelling, there are only 10 people left. What a sad thing this is!

At the same time, Li Zicheng also hated Liu Meng, gnashing his teeth with hatred, wanting to swallow his flesh.

However, this time is not the time for him to be ruthless, he really can't beat Liu Meng's Dongjiang army!

Without delay, Li Zicheng gathered all his troops, caught up with the carriages, ox carts and belongings that had been prepared earlier, and fled to the only city gate that was not surrounded by the Dongjiang army.

Fortunately, those who can stay are the real supporters of Li Zicheng, and they can maintain the basic marching ranks, and they don't disperse and flee separately like those peasant troops brought in temporarily.

After leaving the city gate, Li Zicheng rode on his mount, turned his head and glanced resentfully at the capital city guarded by the majestic city walls, secretly gritted his teeth, turned back and rode away.

Seeing through the binoculars that there was no one on the city wall, Liu Meng ordered the First Army Army to march into the capital immediately, clear up the remaining Dashun Army, and maintain order in the capital, but those who dared to take advantage of the chaos to rob and kill A wisp of him was shot on the spot.

At the same time, the Second Army and the Fourth Army were ordered to pursue Li Zicheng's escaped troops along the road.

Try to eliminate Li Zicheng's troops along the way, and take back all the property he robbed from the capital.

The order was issued and all the troops began to move.

Liu Meng did not enter the city, but returned to the big tent.

In the big tent, Zhu Yuxi was already excitedly waiting for Liu Meng to come back, she couldn't help being excited.

Originally thought that Liu Meng's army was powerful, and as long as Liu Meng was willing to take action, Li Zicheng's bandit army could not be the opponent of Dongjiang Army.

But who would have thought that Liu Meng's Dongjiang army would be so powerful and terrifying.
