In less than two days, the one hundred and eighty thousand Qing troops were reduced to a little more than forty thousand Eight Banners.
Just as this unit was wavering internally and didn't know what to do, the Great Xia army made a choice for them. With the Divine Martial Guards as the vanguard, the Great Xia army took the initiative to attack.
This was really beyond the Qing army's expectation.
The morale of the Qing army was low to begin with. Faced with the surprise attack of the Divine Martial Guards, they were at a loss of what to do. Their internal opinions were not unified. Some chose to fight head-on, while others took advantage of the situation to leave the battlefield.
On the other hand, the Great Xia army was not only high-spirited but also well-commanded.
Even though the Qing army was twice the size of the Great Xia army, their formation was disrupted by the Divine Martial Guards as soon as they came into contact with the Great Xia army. A crushing defeat was imminent, and there was simply no way to stop it.
The Great Xia army seized the opportunity to pursue and reap the fruits of victory.
This great battle lasted until dusk before it came to an end. By the time the sun set in the west, the Shanhai Pass was already littered with corpses, not a single standing Qing soldier could be seen.
The entire Qing army was routed.
Just like that, in less than three days, the 180,000 strong Qing army attacked the Shanhai Pass aggressively, but in the end, they were completely routed. Some died in battle, and some became deserters.
This was a miracle in the history of war.
The root cause was that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty was too shallow. They tried in vain to rule the world with a tribe at the border. If there were no challengers, it would be fine, but once a challenger appeared, it would immediately collapse.
And it started from the inside.
The defeat of the Qing army at Shanhai Pass marked the beginning of the total defeat of the Qing army.
In order not to provoke the Great Western Army, after defeating the invading Qing army, Ouyang Shuo did not lead his troops south to attack Yanjing. Instead, he headed north again, preparing to capture Shengjing before the battle ended.
Even so, Yan Jin failed to hold on.
In the afternoon of the next day, the remnants of the Qing army from Shanhai Pass returned to Yanjing with the news of the defeat at the front line. Yan Jing, which was already on the verge of collapse, could no longer hold on and let out its last breath.
In the evening, the Great Western Army successfully charged into Yanjing and captured Emperor Shunzhi.
…
As soon as the news of the fall of Yan Jing reached the Dorgon Tribe, a wave of deserters immediately came. The puppet army chose to surrender to the Southern Allied Forces. Even a portion of the Mongolian Eight Banners Army surrendered.
As a result, the number of Qing troops decreased sharply.
Under such circumstances, the Southern Allied Forces gained momentum and intended to defeat the main force of the Qing army. In order to "atone for their crimes by meritorious service," the puppet troops who had just surrendered worked the hardest. They charged at the front and aimed their swords at the Qing army.
Such an outcome was truly ironic.
No matter how valiant Dorgon was, he was powerless in the face of such a situation. Most importantly, Dorgon suddenly became confused and didn't know where to go.
Yanjing had been lost and the Shanhai Pass was in the hands of the enemy. Perhaps even Shengjing could not be saved.
No matter how big the world was, there was no longer a place for them.
Dorgon wanted to stop and fight to the death with the Southern Coalition Army. "Even if I die, I have to bite a piece of the enemy's flesh." The Qing Dynasty was able to enter the Pass from an outsider to the Central Plains. At this time, they did not lack courage.
Dorgon's idea was good. If the Qing army really didn't care about their lives, Li Jing might not fight them head-on. When a desperate army went crazy, it would be very terrifying.
However, there were people who refused to do so.
This person was none other than Di Chen.
Di Chen had already obtained what he wanted. How could he let the Great Zhou Army die with the Qing army? Not long after the puppet troops surrendered, Di Chen left the main battlefield with the 100,000 Great Zhou Army and prepared to last until the end of the battle.
This time, Dorgon was completely at his wit's end.
Even if Dorgon wanted to go crazy, Li Jing would not play with him. The allied forces chose to surround and not attack.
On the contrary, Guo Ziyi's troops relied on their absolute advantage in numbers to launch a cruel attack on Azig's troops. Although Azig's troops were fierce, the difference in numbers was too great. They were outnumbered and outnumbered. In less than a day, they were completely annihilated.
Following that, the entire battle came to an end.
After Guo Ziyi's troops annihilated Azig's troops, they immediately rushed to meet up with Li Jing's troops. The integrated Southern Allied Forces, together with the troops that had just surrendered, had a total of more than 500,000 troops.
Facing such an army, Dorgon's troops could only sigh helplessly. Soon, they followed in the footsteps of Azig's troops.
The last battle was intense. Dorgon was determined to defend the last glory of the Qing Dynasty. With an indomitable aura, he fought head-on with the Southern Allied Forces.
Unfortunately, Dorgon encountered a shrewd hunter.
Li Jing was very experienced in using troops. He knew very well how to fiddle with a prey that was fighting to the death. He kept adjusting the formation and relying on his absolute advantage in numbers to slowly wear down the enemy's spirit.
When the Qing army was exhausted, it would be time for the allied forces to attack.
"If you don't attack, kill with one blow!"
The last attack of the allied forces was earth-shattering. With an unstoppable momentum, they completely crushed the remaining Qing army.
The sunset that day was also red and enchanting.
Dorgon, a formidable hero, died on the battlefield. According to the rules of the battle, Dorgon had no fate with the wilderness. That was because the leader of the Qing Dynasty was Emperor Shunzhi, not Dorgon.
…
On the 40th day of the battle, the allied forces approached Beijing.
Li Jing only sent a troop to Xi 'an. Zhang Xianzhong, who had just taken down Beijing, obediently handed over Emperor Shunzhi. At the same time, he handed over the Yan Jing City that he had painstakingly taken down.
It was not that Zhang Xianzhong was timid, but after defeating the main force of the Qing army, the Southern Allied Forces had already become the strongest army. Faced with such an opponent, it was still uncertain whether the Da Xi State could protect Xi 'an. How could they dare to stay in Beijing? Perhaps it was only at this moment that Zhang Xianzhong truly realized that he had been tricked by Ouyang Shuo.
From the beginning to the end, the Da Xi Army was just a chess piece that was being used.
"Motherf * cker!" Zhang Xianzhong cursed in his heart. He only dared to vent his anger secretly behind Ouyang Shuo's back.
Those who did not have the grand scheme of things deserved to end up like this.
…
When Emperor Shunzhi was handed over to the allied forces, the battle finally came to an end.
Immediately after, the battle announcement sounded.
"Battle Announcement: The Battle of the Qing Dynasty to Destroy the Ming Dynasty has officially ended. The Ming Dynasty has successfully reversed history."
…
"Battle Announcement: The Battle of the Qing Dynasty to Destroy the Ming Dynasty has officially ended. Now, according to the overall index of the players' contribution to the battle and the overall index, additional contribution points will be calculated."
…
Ouyang Shuo immediately heard the sound of the system notification.
"System Notification: Player Not Saying That Has No Clothes, the representative of the Ming Dynasty's Mutants, united all the major forces in the south. They were of one mind, planned well, and captured Emperor Shunzhi. Additional contribution points will be rewarded with 80,000 contribution points."
Because there were only three feudal lords, the Contribution Points ranking was quickly updated.
[Rank] — [Name] — [Contribution Points]
[1st place]: Not Saying That Has No Clothes — 200,000 points
[2nd place]: Feng Qiuhuang — 170,000 points
[3rd place]: Di Chen — 500,000 points
And so, the battle ended.
