Chapter 1461: Han Banner Under Heaven (One Hundred and Fifty-One) Chu Destroyed

In Yingdu, the solid city walls collapsed amidst the roar of countless artillery pieces. The gate of the royal capital, which had never been threatened by the Chu Dynasty for 800 years, was trampled to pieces under the iron hoofs of the Han army. Flags of the Han Dynasty began to rise one after another. The sky above Yingdu expanded and bloomed.

Leaving the palace of the King of Chu, King Chu Huai opened his hazy eyes. After more than a month of careful treatment, although he could not stand up yet, he could manage to speak.

"It's so noisy outside!" He looked at the princesses and children surrounding him. "Keep them quiet."

The princess was in tears and speechless. Several other princesses sobbed.

There was a loud bang, and Hong, Zhu, Pig, Island, Novel ww.zhuzhuda Wei's Lidian also shook a few times.

"Is it an earthquake?" King Chu Huai asked in a low voice as he turned his head with difficulty.

"It's not an earthquake, it's the artillery fired by the Han army." A chamberlain said in a trembling voice.

King Chu Huai's body shook violently, and he finally recalled what happened before he fell. The Han army came and surrounded Yingdu. The artillery rumbled, so close to him. Needless to say, the war will definitely be extremely unfavorable to Da Chu.

"Where's Qu Zhong and Huang Xie, let them come to see me." His voice was trembling.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei Qu is gone. Three days ago, Taiwei Qu died in battle at Qianyang Gate. Now the general in command of Yingdu is General Bi Xuan." The princess whispered.

"Qu Zhong, is he gone?" King Chu Huai stretched out a hand and scratched in the air a few times in vain, as if he wanted to grab something, but it hung down feebly, "Even he is gone?"

Qu Zhong was the Grand Lieutenant of the State of Chu, commanding all the troops in the world. Even he died on the battlefield, which shows how far this situation has deteriorated.

"Princess, can't we hold on anymore? How far are the Han people from us?"

"Your Majesty, only the inner city is left. The outer city has been completely lost. The two hundred thousand defenders collapsed and fled. The Han army has entered the city in large numbers. Now only General Bi Xuan and Huang Shoufu are guarding the inner city with 20,000 imperial troops." Princess. Weeping.

"Twenty thousand people, holding on to the inner city?" A desperate light flashed in King Huai of Chu's eyes. "Five thousand miles of land, eight hundred years of dynasty, I don't want to lose it to my hands today. Even after I die, I won't be able to see my ancestors."

"Your Majesty!" There was a mournful cry in the hall.

The towers in the inner city are taller and stronger than those in the outer city.

At this moment, a steady stream of Han troops are gathering here from all directions, arriving every hundred banners. This means that the main force of the Han army has completed their mission and reached the final goal, the inner city of the Chu Palace.

Qu Zhong had died in battle, and Bi Xuan became the supreme commander, but everyone knew that no matter who it was, it was impossible to save the fate of the Chu Dynasty.

Mihua and Huang Xie watched in despair as more and more Han troops arrived at the palace, and watched in despair as the cannons raised their dark muzzles under the city.

"Chief Assistant!" Mi Hua looked at Huang Xie. "We have already lost this battle."

"Your Majesty." Huang Xie said with tears: "My incompetence not only fails to relieve my lord's worries. On the contrary, my great Chu is facing the disaster of national subjugation. Today, I have no way to atone for my sins. I can only die with this broken body together with the country." Atoned for."

"Chief Assistant. Since we are certain to lose, we might as well, might as well..."

Huang Xie looked at Mi Hua in shock: "Your Majesty, do you want to surrender to the Han people?"

Mi Hua gritted her teeth. After a long while, he finally nodded: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of dying? I heard that King Qi and King Zhao are doing well now. We might as well surrender in agreement, and we can still survive. Look at the cannons under the city, once they are fired , this inner city will be destroyed.”

Huang Xie turned his head silently and looked at the majestic and glorious palace. Once upon a time, the Chu Dynasty was the richest country on this continent, and the palaces here were also the most luxurious and glorious in the world. But now, all of this will belong to others. .

surrender? Huang Xie never thought about it.

A flash of fire suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then, under the thick smoke, raging fire soared into the sky. There was an uproar on the tower, and the fire started in the direction of the palace.

"This is Li Palace, my father's palace!" Mi Hua exclaimed. "General Bi Xuan, go put out the fire!"

Bi Xuan rushed over and was about to dispatch men when Huang Xie grabbed Bi Xuan and said, "The king has decided to leave. If he can't be saved, there is no need to save him."

He knelt down with a bang and touched his head to the ground: "I respectfully send the king off to his ascension."

Bi Xuan knelt down wordlessly, and all the Chu soldiers knelt down on the tower.

King Huai of Chu ordered the palace to be piled with firewood, poured with kerosene, and burned with fire. All the princesses were buried.

Under the city, the yellow dragon flag embroidered with nine golden lines finally arrived. Countless Han soldiers raised their swords and guns and cheered loudly. The shouts of "Long Live" shook the world, and Gao Yuan appeared outside the Chaoyang Gate of the inner city of Chu.

"Shoot my king's handwritten handwriting into the city and tell the Chu people in the city that Kaicheng surrenders. The Han Dynasty promises not to kill anyone, preserve the Mi family's ancestral temple, and preserve the Mi family's descendants. Otherwise, everything will stop when the cannon fires." Gao Yuan shouted in a deep voice. .

"Yes!" He Weiyuan responded, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped forward until he reached the Chaoyang Gate. He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and with a swish sound, an arrow with Gao Yuan's handwriting clattered. Insert it on the tower.

"Chief Assistant, Kaicheng surrenders!" Mi Hua said with a mixture of surprise and surprise after reading Gao Yuan's handwriting. He was overjoyed to be able to save his life. It would be an unexpected joy if he could also save the Mi family's ancestral temple. "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. The situation is over. No matter how low we are, there is no point in resisting. It will only hurt lives."

Huang Xie sighed, knelt in front of Mi Hua, and kowtowed three times: "Your Majesty is right, the matter has come to this point, and resistance is of no use, so I will surrender to the city in accordance with your Majesty's wishes. Your Majesty, I forgive you. You are disloyal and can no longer serve the king. Please take care of yourself in the future.”

"Chief Assistant, where are you going?" Mi Hua asked in surprise.

Huang Xie got up and smiled bitterly, "Where else can I go? I am incompetent and have ruined my country so far. I can only die to thank the world. I will go after the late king and apologize to him in front of him. !”

Mi Hua watched in stunned silence as Huang Xie climbed up the high battlements. "General Bixuan, grab the chief assistant quickly."

Bi Xuan's face was livid, but he didn't move where he stood.

Under the gaze of countless people above and below the city, Huang Xie jumped from the tall tower and fell heavily in front of the Chaoyang Gate. Blood instantly dyed the front of Chaoyang Gate red.

"Chief Assistant!" Mi Hua burst into tears as she rushed to the battlements.

Bi Xuan let out a long sigh, took off his helmet, and carefully placed it in front of Mi Hua: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I am also going."

Before Mi Hua could react, he had already jumped onto the battlement, pulled out the sword from his waist with a swipe, slashed it across his neck, and strangled Bi Xuan like a stone as blood spurted out. go.

On the city tower, the Chu ministers came over one by one, saluted respectfully in front of Mi Hua, then climbed up the battlements, jumped down, or drew their swords to kill themselves. In an instant, dozens of Chu ministers were dead. Minister.

Under the city, countless Han troops were also moved. In front of the Chaoyang Gate, tens of thousands of troops were in deathly silence. Under the banner of the Chinese Army, Gao Yuan exhaled heavily, "It's pitiful, it's a pity, it's a shame!"

Half an hour later, the Chaoyang Gate opened wide. The young new king of Chu State was wearing white clothes, tied with a hemp rope around his waist, and holding a crown in his hand. Behind him, several ministers were holding the territory map of Chu State and the register of people as they walked away tremblingly. out.

On the city, the swords and guns in the hands of the Chu soldiers fell down feebly, and the sound of clanging was heard. The sound of wailing and crying was endless.

The Han army rushed into the golden-walled palace of the King of Chu. The Chu Dynasty, which was once glorious for a while, disappeared after the Han army launched a general attack on it. It only lasted three years.

Climbing the tower of the inner city of Chu, he looked to the west with his lofty eyes, where he still had his last enemy, the State of Qin.

"War is for eternal peace. Now we only have the last enemy left. Defeat him and the world will be unified. From now on, there will be no more wars in the mainland. The people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the Han will rule the world."

"Long live, long live, long live!" Flags were fluttering above and below the city, and the soldiers cheered in unison.

"Meng Chong."

"The general is here!"

"You will lead an army of 50,000 to temporarily suppress the Chu Kingdom and restore order and people's livelihood."

"I obey your order."

"The rest of the troops, rest for three days, then march westward to destroy Qin!"

"Destroy Qin, destroy Qin, destroy Qin!" The deafening shouts shook the whole world.

Yingshui, Wu Ya rushed into the dilapidated city, but he still failed to catch up with the final battle, because when he was still dozens of miles away from Yingchuan County, news of the third division came from the direction of Yingshui.

The Chu army surrendered.

Although they have not yet laid down their weapons, the Chu army has withdrawn from Yingchuan County and camped outside the city. There are no defensive facilities around the camp. Even the flags of the Chu State have been lowered. The Chu army camp is lifeless. Not a sound could be heard. After the Fourth Division set up a vigil outside the Chu army camp, Wu Ya could not wait to ride his horse onto the pontoon bridge set up by the Chu army and rushed all the way to Yingshui City.

"Mei Hua!" He shouted and rushed into the general's office, and then he saw Mei Hua, who was missing one of his left arms, leaning on the gate and looking at him with a smile.

"Where's your left hand?" Wu Ya gasped.

"You're not blind, he separated from me." Mei Hua laughed loudly: "You're still so fussy, so what, you're late again, you're always too late to catch up. This battle is over, how can I climb up again? The next time we meet, remember to salute me. Maybe I will get a job as an army commander. When you see me, you will get Respectfully, you can’t yell like that.”

Wu Ya's eyes were moist: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." He had just crossed the river from Yingchuan County. What he saw along the way was thrilling. The corpses on both sides of the bank were piled up like hills, and now Meihua's There were only three or two big cats and kittens left around him, and none of them were intact. (To be continued.)
