Chapter 1092 – All Fronts Collapsing

In less than two days, only 40 thousand Man eight banner army troops remained from the 180 thousand Qing troops.

Just as this army wavered internally without knowing what to do, the Great Xia Army made the decision for them. With the Divine Martial Guards as the vanguard, they struck out.

The Qing army did not expect this.

The Qing army, whose morale was already really low, did not know what to do when faced with the sudden attacks of the Divine Martial Guard. Their opinions were not united; some chose to fight, while some chose to flee.

On the contrary, the Great Xia Army’s morale was soaring, and the commanding was all in place.

Although the Qing army had two times the number of the Great Xia Army, right from the get go, their formations were charged apart. A huge collapse was imminent, and no one could stop it from happening.

The Great Xia Army chased the win to collect the spoils of war.

This massacre lasted all the way into the evening before coming to an end. Once the sun set in the west, Shanhai Pass was surrounded by bodies, and one could not see a single standing Qing army soldier.

The Qing army had totally collapsed.

Just like that, in less than three days, the 180 thousand Qing troops that attacked Shanhai Pass with high morale ended up falling, either dying in battle or escaping.

This was a miracle in war history. The reason laid in the Qing dynasty’s foundations being too shallow, and they tried to use one border tribe to rule China. It was okay if they did not face challengers, but once they did, they would immediately collapse.

And the collapse started internally.

Once the Qing army faced trouble at Shanhai Pass, the fall of the Qing Army Camp started.

In order to not provoke the Great West army, after destroying the Qing troops, Ouyang Shuo did not lead his troops down south to attack Yanjing. Instead, he went north to attack Shenyang.

Even so, Yanjing still fell in the end.

The next afternoon, the remnant troops from Shanhai Pass returned to Yanjing, bringing the news of their defeat. This time, the shaky Yanjing could not hold on anymore and gave out its last breath.

At night, the Great Xi troops succeeded in making their way into Yanjing and captured the Shunzhi Emperor.

...

The moment the news of Yanjing falling spread to Dorgon’s forces, it immediately welcomed a new wave of fleeing soldiers. The surrendered soldiers directly chose to surrender to the Southern Alliance Army, and even a portion of the Meng eight banner army surrendered.

Hence, the number of Qing army troops decreased.

Just like that, the morale and strength of the Southern Alliance Army soared, and they tried to crush the main army of the Qing army. To repay their sins, the surrendered troops who had just joined the Douthern Alliance Army charged at the front.

Such an outcome was truly ironic.

No matter how amazing Dorgon was, he had no way to handle such a situation. More crucially, Dorgon had suddenly become confused, not knowing what he should do.

Yanjing was lost, and Shanhai Pass was in the hands of the enemy. Even Shenyang was about to be lost.

The earth did not have a place for them anymore.

Dorgon wanted to stop and go for an all-out gamble with the Alliance Army, “Even if I die, I want to bring some of them down with me.” For the Qing Dynasty to become the ruler of China from a small race showed that they were filled with courage and guts.

Dorgon’s idea was great, but if the Qing army really went all out, Li Jing might not dare to go head on with them. A desperate army when crazy was really terrifying.

However, someone did not want to.

That person was Di Chen.

He had already gotten what he wanted, so why would he let the Great Zhou soldiers die along with the Qing army? Not long after the surrendered troops left, Di Chen brought his army and broke away from the main battlefield to try to wait it out till the end of the battle.

This time, Dorgon was totally lost.

Even if he wanted to go all out, Li Jing would not play along. The Alliance Army chose to surround them and not attack.

On the other side, Guo Ziyi relied on their absolute numerical advantage to mercilessly kill Ajige’s forces. Although they were strong, the numerical difference was just too huge. They lasted for less than a day before being wiped out.

Following which, the entire battlefield welcomed its final moments.

After Guo Ziyi’s army destroyed Ajige’s troops, they rushed to gather with Li Jing’s forces. The gathered Southern Alliance Army along with the surrendered troops numbered over 500 thousand.

Facing such a huge army, there was nothing Dorgon could do. He quickly followed Ajige.

The final battle was really intense. Dorgon was determined to protect the last bit of glory of the Qing Dynasty and had a face off against the Alliance Army.

Unfortunately, he was facing a smart hunter.

Li Jing was really experienced and knew what he should do when facing a prey that was about to give a final gamble. He continuously switched up his formations, relying on their absolute numerical advantage to grind away at the enemy.

Once they were tired, the Alliance Army struck.

“It’s okay when they do not strike, but when they do, it would be fatal!”

The final blow of the Alliance Army crushed the entire Qing Army.

The dusk of the night was similarly a devilish red.

A leader of a generation died on the battlefield. Based on the Battle Map rules, Dorgon had no part to play in the wilderness, as the Qing Dynasty camp leader was Shunzhi Emperor and not Dorgon.

...

40th day of the Battle Map, the Alliance Army drew close to Yanjing.

Li Jing only sent out one force to head to Xi An. Zhang Xianzhong handed over the Shunzhi Emperor and also gave up Yanjing.

It was not Zhang Xianzhong being timid, but after crushing the Qing army main force, the Southern Alliance Army had become the strongest army. Facing such an opponent, Great Xi might not be even able to protect Xi An, much less Yanjing. Maybe at this moment, he truly realized that he was baited by Ouyang Shuo.

From the start, Great Xi was being used.

“His grandmother!” Zhang Xianzhong scolded out. However, he only dared to vent his frustration in the dark.

A person without foresight could only end up like this.

...

When the Shunzhi Emperor was handed over to the Alliance Army, the Battle Map finally came to an end.

Following which, the notification sounded.

“Battle Notification: Qing Destroys Ming battle has officially ended, Ming Dynasty has succeeded in changing history.”

...

“Battle Notification: Qing Destroys Ming battle has officially ended, now calculating bonus points based on player’s contribution and effect on the battle.”

...

A System Notification sounded out in Ouyang Shuo’s ear.

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, Ming Dynasty camp player representative, uniting the various powers of the north and capturing the Shunzhi Emperor, awarded 80 thousand extra battle contribution points.”

As there were only three Lords, the rankings were quickly updated.

1st: Qiyue Wuyi- 2000000 points

2nd: Feng Qiuhuang- 1700000 points

3rd: Di Chen- 500000 points

At this point, the Battle Map ended.
