Chapter 9: The Collapse of the Sky

Li Benshen whipped desperately.

The war horse he sat on seemed to feel the will of his master and galloped hard, but the horse's physical strength was already exhausted, and he only ran wildly with one breath. Its feet were weak, and its whole body fell to the ground, and Li Benshen fell off his horse unexpectedly. Get out of the way.

Luckily, the ground is mostly covered with snow.

Li Benshen was covered in a layer of snow all over his body. Although he was in pain, there were no obvious injuries.

Li Benshen felt the most pain, or his legs, it seemed that when he fell off the horse, there were some problems with the position, which made Li Benshen seem to have broken his foot.

It's just that at this time, Li Benshen didn't have the heart to estimate the small pain and itch on his body.

After he rushed out of the camp, there were hundreds of soldiers around him, some of these soldiers were his own soldiers who rushed out with him, and some were in the chaos and didn't know how to be a good Xia army.

But when he got here, only Li Benshen was left.

Obviously, the Qing army came prepared, and arranged a net of heaven and earth in all directions. If it weren't for Li Benshen's ability, he would have been in a different place at this moment.

Li Ben took a deep breath, got up sharply, and struggled south in the snow.

Fortunately, this place is close enough to Luo Yulong's camp, and there are two scouts nearby, who saw Li Benshen, Li Benshen is also a figure in Gao Jie's army, and often goes in and out of Luo Yulong's imperial camp, so many people know him and see him embarrassed. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Li, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Quick, quick, report to Your Majesty. The front army was defeated, and the Qing army attacked. Li Ben said loudly with a deep breath.

The two scouts' faces changed drastically when they heard this, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Hurriedly helped Li Benshen onto the horse, and quickly whipped the horse towards the camp.

When Li Benshen came to the imperial camp, the sky was already bright.

Li Benshen traveled all the way, and seeing that these people had a trace of the remnants of the New Year, it made him even more anxious. I can't wait to fly out and see Luo Yulong immediately.

It's just that the guards around Luo Yulong are blocked, and if you want to see Luo Yulong, you must report it first, but Luo Yulong also knows the priorities, and almost at the same time as he got the news, he ordered someone to see Li Benshen.

When Li Benshen saw Luo Yulong, he seemed to think of Gao Jie, his heart was sour, he knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the front army has been wiped out." ”

"What?" Luo Yulong almost jumped up, it was still fine last night, even before the New Year, Luo Yulong quickly passed the front camp, and Luo Yulong knew all the arrangements of the front camp, and felt that although it was not impregnable, it was definitely not a camp that could be captured overnight.

He listened to Li Benshen's words, and was the first to counter

It should be unbelievable.

Seeing this, Li Benshen said everything one by one, but as a person in the bureau, he didn't fully understand this matter, and he could only say that he knew part of it. Even so, this news has made Luo Yulong unacceptable.

"King Huai?" Luo Yulong couldn't help but ask. He knew that if the former army was destroyed. Gao Jie is also more than lucky. But I still can't help but want to ask.

"Uncle, he has been martyred." Li Benshen said: "Uncle asked me to bring a message to His Majesty, and he said: 'The old minister does not know anyone, he is so tired that the army is defeated, and there is no forgiveness for a hundred deaths, I hope that Your Majesty will calm down, clean up the mess, and retire the army. ’”

Retirement? This idea had never appeared in Luo Yulong's heart.

This time, there are too many political factors for Luo Yulong.

Not to mention anything else, when his Northern Expedition was victorious, there was more respect for Luo Yulong inside and outside Great Xia. Luo Yulong's authority has unconsciously increased a lot.

Once he is defeated, what will be the result, Luo Yulong just thinks about it, and his scalp is numb.

But he didn't expect such a reversal of the situation. When he thought that this situation was all because of Li Chengdong alone, he was furious in his heart and said, "Li Chengdong deserves to die." ”

If Li Chengdong falls into the hands of Luo Yulong, the plan is not as simple as breaking the corpse.

"Your Majesty." Li Benshen said: "Please make a quick decision, I am afraid that all the departments of the Qing army are on the way here." ”

"I know." Luo Yulong said. He was about to give the order, but he heard someone break in from outside, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the Dongyu has come from the north, twenty miles from the camp. ”

Luo Yulong's heart sank, and he immediately suppressed his anger. At the time of the war. You can't get angry. Anger is not conducive to war, and it is even harmful.

"Order, the whole army is on alert." Luo Yulong said.

At the sound of the order, the Great Xia army became nervous.

It's just that their movements are a little slow, and the Qing army doesn't seem to slow down at all, crashing into the Xia Jun camp, treating all the obstacles outside the Xia Jun camp as nothing, and rushing in. From the very beginning, the war was a hand-to-hand battle.

However, Luo Yulong's forbidden army still has some skills.

Although it was a beat slower, it was attacked into the camp by the Qing army. But he still insisted on fighting and could not hold on to the Qing army. Luo Yulong even personally put on armor to supervise the battle.

Luo Yulong wanted to charge into battle, but the generals around him would not let Luo Yulong put himself in danger.

However, in Luo Yulong's camp, there was a fatal problem that was caught by the Qing army.

Luo Yulong's camp is where the granary of the army is located, and the grain transferred from the rear is hoarded here, a granary,

Then a granary, hundreds of thousands of stone grain, and a steady stream of transportation from the rear can support the army for conquest.

Dolgon took a fancy to this from the beginning, selected the elite white-armored soldiers of the whole army, and let Aobai lead the storming of the place where the granary was located.

While the two sides were fighting, a fire broke out of the granary.

Under the howling north wind, this fire spread like a divine help, and the overwhelming flames volatilized countless heat, and the soldiers of Xia who were originally fighting immediately felt a wave of heat coming.

When Luo Yulong saw it, a cold sweat suddenly broke out. Although the temperature around him has risen, his heart is like falling into an ice cellar.

Food is not only a necessity for the army to fight, but also a matter of military morale. This sentence is the opposite, that is, if there is no food in your hands, you will panic in your heart. This fire can't be hidden from people at all, and it can be seen up and down.

Almost instantly, the morale of the Xia soldiers was affected.

It is not said that everyone is in danger, but the fluctuation of morale is also an obvious fluctuation, and the Qing army immediately overwhelmed the Xia army when its morale was like a rainbow.

I have to say that the combat power of the Eight Banners is one of the best in the past few years, and most of the generals have won one battle after another against the Ming Dynasty, and they have the aura of a winning army. Many of the soldiers were also born as wild Jurchens, and they hunted in the white mountains and black waters for a living, and were enemies of tigers and leopards.

The lower-level soldiers still maintain their savage nature, while the upper-class generals have many sinicizations. Like Dolgon, Dolgon's knowledge may not be as good as that of the Central Plains scholars, but he is by no means illiterate, and in order to govern the country, he often uses the history books of the Jin, Liao, and Yuan Kingdoms as a reference. It can even be seen that the history of the Three Kingdoms was translated into Manchu.

The sinicization of the upper level,Let the generals above have more wisdom.,And the barbarism of the lower level,But it also blesses enough execution ability.。 And the land in the north gave them enough sophisticated weapons, and the sum of these three was when the Eight Banners were at their strongest.

It's just that as the people below are greedy for pleasure, the veterans who climbed the ice and snow above are gradually withering. How long the combat power of the Eight Banners can be maintained is another matter.

Luo Yulong looked at it, saw that the situation was gradually getting worse, and was about to lead the team to stand out, but was blocked by the left and right, and said: "Your Majesty should love yourself, today's defeat, he will make a comeback one day, if Your Majesty has three long and two short, then the Great Xia Jiangshan, how to deal with himself." ”

Luo Yulong listened to it and had to admit it. This is not the time for righteousness. Only one brave general could be selected to take charge of the overall situation in his place, and he crossed the canal east with thousands of guards.

It's just that he is so moving here, how can he not be discovered by the Qing army. How not to be discovered by the Great Xia soldiers who are fighting?

I don't know where I shouted: "Run." "The big collapse is inevitable.
