Luo Dinglong returned to the camp with his only six remaining subordinates.

Xiang Fei's eyes were full of hatred, and he looked blankly in the direction of the Tartars. Xiang Fei's left shoulder was injured, but fortunately, the injury was desperate. With Xiang Fei's strong body, he could recover in less than a month. When he saw Xiang Fei's stunned look, Luo Dinglong quickly comforted:

"Brother, don't be sad, this is how war is. Oh! I'm not feeling well, brother, too. So many brothers who are alive die under the sword of the Tartars, what good brothers are! But what we do is a business of licking blood from the edge of the knife. Brother, I killed at least three and a half of the Tartars, brother, my life is worth it. Brother, I'll kill two, right?"

Xiang Fei said angrily: "Kill two and injured one. Those Tartars are really not human. They are about to cut the Tartars' neck several times, but they can always let the Tartars escape."

"Okay, brothers! The Tartars are also humans. We beat the grenades and they suddenly overturned dozens of them. Unfortunately, only one grenade is a person, otherwise we wouldn't have killed so many brothers!"

Zhong Dazhu, who was beside him shouted, "This grenade is so powerful! It will bloom in the air. The Tartars are dead and the wounds are injured. It's so fucking exciting!" When throwing the grenade, Zhong Dazhu threw the big bulls and horses the farthest. The grenade he threw happened to explode on the Tartars' head, blowing a Tartar to the point of blood.

Luo Dinglong smiled and said, "Big guy, I'll give you two more grenades tomorrow so that people can get diarrhea and even pull the fire will not burn, and this treasure will be wasted."

Zhong Dazhu smiled silly: "Boss, you really take care of your brothers! By the way, Boss, Wang Jiu said that if he defeated the Tartars, the public debt could increase to one taels or two cents of silver. Is that true?"

When Luo Dinglong heard about Wang Jiu, he looked sad, but he had to pretend to smile and said, "Of course, after the Tartars are beaten away tomorrow, the public debt will definitely rise sharply." But he was thinking in his heart how to give Wang Jiu's sister an explanation. I hope that the public debt will rise sharply. After selling the public debt, he can give Wang Jiu's ten taels of silver to his sister, but he must not lose money.

The cavalry of the Dashun Army was severely damaged, with 60,000 cavalry, and nearly 20,000. There was no way to win against the Tartar cavalry. Liu Zongmin wanted to continue to fight desperately, but Li Zicheng refused. The Qing army came from afar, and the profit was to fight quickly. Although the Qing cavalry suffered unprecedented losses, the Dashun Army suffered even greater losses than the Qing army. If it was anxious to fight decisively, it would be taken advantage of by the Qing army. The reinforcements from our side were constantly coming, and now there was a "Tianjin Treaty" with the Ming Dynasty. The troops on the southern front were also being recruited, and ten more were gathered.

Ten thousand troops, even if they fight again, they can still be consumed. Besides, there are not many grenades left, and there are less than ten thousand. After being delayed for more than ten days, 20,000 grenades can be made in Beijing. In today's battle, the lethality of grenades to the cavalry is obvious to all, so as long as the Qing soldiers are held, you can win steadily. Bai Guangen's 20,000 soldiers have approached the battlefield, and Jiang Xiang's troops on the western front are also advancing. Therefore, Li Zicheng suppressed Liu Zongmin's desperate spirit, and from the next day, he only defended but not attacked.

The Qing army was indeed eager to find a war. The next day, the Qing cavalry launched a large attack, and the cannons fired at the Dashun military camp. The cannons mounted on the hillside began to fire. The Dashun army in terms of cannons were more numerous, so the Qing army could not get any advantage.

After a fire of cannons, the Qing cavalry began to rush to the camp. The Qing army used the bodies of soldiers and horses to fill the two trenches, and put on a desperate posture to rush straight to the Dashun Army camp. The camp on the Dashun Army adopted the "train" passed down from Sun Chuanting. This Sun Chuanting can be called a tactical innovator. The "train" of Sun's "train" is not a train from later generations. His "train" is just a two-wheeled cart equipped with firearms. After this "train" formed a circular camp, it was a mobile fortress that restrained the cavalry. The bad luck of the attack on the Qing army began from two deep trenches, and one blow after another, and it was far from over.

When the Qing army crossed an arrow, Huhuhu threw out a grenade and exploded a barrage on the Qing army's charge, causing the subsequent cavalry to charge to rush forward. The Qing army rushed in front, with its own muskets and crossbows greetings. A archer and a musketman stared at a horse, and the muskets and crossbows were fired continuously. Even if the Qing cavalry was brave, they could not withstand this three-dimensional attack. Even if they were lucky enough to approach the train, they could not stop the long spear of the spearman's spear behind the car, and soon the Qing army piled up a wall of corpses in front of the car formation. The Qing army continued to charge, and the grenades in the car formation were also constantly thrown out. Between twenty to thirty steps from the car formation, a barrage exploded every once in a while. This barrage effectively curbed the rush forward.

Horse speed, the horses have already accelerated far away. When they reach the barrage, the rider and horses naturally slow down and avoid it. When they accelerate after the barrage, the acceleration distance is too short, so the horses cannot run at speed, which makes the defense calm. Think about it, the Qing cavalry, who should have rushed through the most dangerous distance at high speed, suddenly dropped by more than half. The Qing cavalry, whose speed slowed down, became the best targets for Dashun muskets and crossbow archers, just like a mobile target turned into a fixed target, and Dashun soldiers who were no longer able to shoot satisfactory results. In this way, the bodies of Qing soldiers and horses piled higher and higher in front of the Dashun "Train" formation, which can be said to increase casualties. To break Dashun's formation, I don't know how many lives it will pile up.

After more than 3,000 Qing soldiers were killed, Dorgon finally gave up the attack in the face of the "train" formation like an iron barrel. Unexpectedly, the Dashun grass-roots army also had all kinds of cunning tricks. The grenade was not only an extraordinary lethality, but also a weapon to restrain the speed of his cavalry. Some of the subordinates who did not believe in evil did not dodge or avoid it, and tried to rush through the barrage at a high speed, but most of them were people in the barrage. This barrage was like an isolation belt. If the Dashun army continuously threw grenades, wouldn't it be difficult to even barrage! He didn't know that the Dashun army's grenades were getting fewer and fewer grenades. Making barrage was only effective at consuming 500 grenades at a time. How could Dashun bear such high consumption? If Dorgon grenades grenades were grenades in order to continue attacking, it might take less and less time for the Dashun army to consume completely. At that time, it is really hard to say whether the Dashun army can defend the Iron Barrage formation.

How did Dorgon know that there were not many such black grenades left in the Dashun army? He thought that there were all kinds of things in the Dashun army. In this way, if you trade your lives for grenades, you would have a loss! There is no way, stop, you can't pay for your belongings here.

Dorgon then remembered Hong Chengchou. This old guy might have some tricks! In fact, Hong Chengchou had no tricks. Li Zicheng's bandit army was different from the past. He used crossbows and "trains". Besides, this black grenade was better than a red-clothed cannon. A grenade flew out and exploded in the air and the ground, and a group of cavalry of the Qing army would fall down. As for creating barrage, it was even more difficult to deal with the horse speed. But one thing is that the cavalry of the Dashun Army is far from being the opponent of the Qing cavalry, and this can definitely be used. Hong Chengchou is skilled after all, and once he thought about it, he had another countermeasure. When Dorgon heard that it was reasonable, he acted according to the plan.

Next, the two armies continued to confront each other. Dorgon asked Dodo to ignite 30,000 cavalry, and flew a shot straight to the northeast. According to Hong Chengchou's analysis, the rebel army gathered between Jizhou and Zunhua, and took the position of deciding with the Qing army. The spies found that Bai Guangen's 20,000 troops were close at hand, and other reinforcements would also arrive one after another. But in this way, the forces of Shanhaiguan would be empty. Although the Dashun army had many troops, the cavalry was not strong, and the rules were sufficient, and the attack was insufficient. At present, the Dashun army only defended but not attacked, and just took down Shanhaiguan. Although this time, the southward journey could not be fully accomplished, it would be a big gain if it was taken down Shanhaiguan.

When Duoduo's troops turned to Shanhaiguan, the Dashun Army was still in the dark. Li Zicheng's plan was to drag the Qing army here, and ten days later, the troops gathered together and the grenades in the capital were sent, so he could fight hard and defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop. The idea was decided, so he continued to confront each other, only defending but not attacking.

The Qing army also acted in a confrontation, provoking and testing every day, but in fact they slowly transferred their troops to the northeast. On the third day, there were only 10,000 people in the Qing army camp, and he had already left.

When the fourth afternoon of the afternoon, when Shanhaiguan sent people to bring reinforcements, the Dashun army woke up as if they were dreaming. Liu Zongmin hurriedly launched an attack on the Qing camp, but the Qing army was ready to stop. Ten thousand cavalry passed through Zunhua and headed straight to the Great Wall. They calmly returned north at the entrance of the attack on the Great Wall. When Liu Zongmin saw the Tartars out of the Great Wall, it was too late and he could not do so, so he had to mobilize his troops and headed straight to Shanhaiguan for rescue.

Duoduo's 30,000 troops traveled day and night, and arrived at the city of Shanhaiguan in two days. At night, he advanced quickly and quietly approached the city wall and launched a sudden attack. Tang Tong had only 8,000 defenders, and was caught off guard by Duoduo. He broke the city in less than two hours. Tang Tong was originally a surrendered general of the Ming Dynasty and had a lot of experience in surrendering. After the city was broken, he immediately surrendered to the Qing army. The Qing army took the important town of Shanhaiguan at a very small price.

Yuan Zongdi rushed to lead 20,000 cavalry to reinforce Shanhaiguan, while the main force of Dashun joined forces with Bai Guangen and Jiang Xiang. In addition to leaving 20,000 troops to defend Zunhua, the lost and regained Zunhua, the army went straight to Shanhaiguan. As a result, Yuan Zongdi was caught in Ajige's ambush fifty miles south of Shanhaiguan. Fortunately, the Qing army was afraid that Dashun's army was behind. Yuan Zongdi broke out after losing 5,000 cavalry.

In the end, the Qing army did not defend the city at Shanhaiguan. The defending city was not the leader of the Qing army, and the Qing army was particularly afraid of the grenades of the Dashun army. If they wanted to give up the advantage of cavalry and fight with the Dashun army to consume the city, they would not be able to consume the Dashun army. The Qing army lost 17,000 people this time, which was the greatest loss in all major wars, and they needed to breathe urgently. In addition, the Mongolian army in the Manchu-Mongolian coalition could not follow the city here forever, so Dorgon asked the city to destroy the major events in Shanhaiguan and withdraw the troops north. On the tenth day of May, Shanhaiguan was successfully revived.

So the Dashun Army claimed that it had an unprecedented victory against the Qing army, called the Zunji Victory. The "Ta Kung Pao" reported the victory in a large-scale page. The report claimed that Emperor Dashun personally led the army to defeat the Qing army between Zunhua and Jizhou, killing 40,000 Qing troops. After the Qing army was severely injured, the Qing army fled in a panic. If it were not for the traitor Tang Tong surrendered to the Tartars and let the Tartars run out of Shanhaiguan, Emperor Dashun had already mobilized four groups of troops and horses, and could have caught turtles in the jar inside the gate and annihilated the Tartars in one fell swoop. Of course, the newspaper was not embarrassed to say that the Qing army had only lost less than 20,000, but the Dashun Army had lost more than 60,000 troops.

The loss ratio is close to 1:4. However, after all, the Tartars withdrew from the pass, and the Tartar heads sent to Beijing were genuine. No ordinary people would seriously investigate the truth. Therefore, after the news of the Zunji victory, the city was full of excitement. When people saw that the Dashun army was much more arrogant than the Ming army, and even the "invincible" Tartars could be defeated, then this country must be iron-clad. As a result, the "Pingliamentary Debt" rose sharply, breaking through one tael of silver, one tael of silver, one tael of silver, one tael of silver, and one tael of silver, and only one tael of silver were stopped until one tael of silver.

This victory naturally requires rewards based on merit. As a result, under the unanimous call of the soldiers, the rewards were no longer silver, but Dashun’s “Pingliao Public Debt”. So under the strong stimulation of this news, the public debt was speculated to an outrageous price of one or five cents of silver.

Ten days after the war, the news reached Nanjing. It had been a month since Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing. On that day, Wang Chengen and Wang were holding a copy of the "Ta Kung Pao". The two laughed out loud. The Jinyiwei's intelligence system in the north was rebuilt very quickly, and as soon as the intelligence gathered, they naturally knew how the battle between Dashun and the Qing Dynasty was fought. However, after getting used to fake news in later generations, they were not surprised by the "satellite release" of Jin Zhijun and others. This was at least reliable than the "a million pounds per mu" of the Great Leap Forward!

The biggest gain of this battle is to test the actual combat effectiveness of the grenade. It turns out that Wang Chengen believes that the power of this grenade is too small and cannot be used. In fact, the biggest advantage of this grenade is that it is simple and easy to use. Once you learn it, it is especially effective for cavalry. When the grenade is sprinkled, even people and horses are often injured by grenades. In the cavalry formation with thousands of horses, horses may be more fatal. Once the horse under the seat is knocked down, the cavalry loses its power of mobility, and they are often killed in a flash or stepped into meat mud by galloping horses.

There were too many things in the Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't care about the self-promotion of the Dashun Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's own "Ming Pao" was about to be published. Chongzhen chose Mao Pijiang as the editor-in-chief, and the president appointed Qian Qianyi.

Now it turns out that many Ming ministers who were officials in Beijing have come to Nanjing, and some of them have worked too hard. The arrival of these people is a big headache, and there are not so many seats! Besides, there are no ones for them. I really want to set up an organization similar to the "advisory committee" to raise these people.

But what about money? Where does the money come from? Calculate the accounts, you can only collect 6 million taels of silver in total, which is not enough to deal with the existing expenses. However, to build a new army, a navy, and a technological investment, this and that, you have to find a way to spend the money yourself.
