Under the constant bombardment of Ming army artillery.
Even though the city wall of Daluo City was two and a half feet high, the city gate tower and the section of city wall behind the city gate hole were blown down. Finally, it could no longer hold up and fell to the ground.
The entire southern city wall was cut into two sections.
The original city gate has turned into a brick and stone structure with a slope.
The Ming army cavalry had already gathered outside the city.
Under the command of a general with a dark-faced armor, war horses stampeded on the ground, thunder rolled, like a giant wave of hundreds of feet hitting the collapsed city wall.
Daluo City has been destroyed.
There was no possibility of rescue. With the collapse of the city gate, the defeat of the Daluo City defenders and the victory of the Ming army were established.
Thousands of cavalrymen, led by the black-armored general, rushed towards the city wall and onto the ruins like arrows.
"After the army entered the city, they searched for Chen Yuandan and killed him if they encountered any obstruction."
The cavalry general who rushed to the ruins of the city wall finally lifted the visor on his face, revealing the face of Zhu Shangbing, the eldest son of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Shangbing's face was covered with blood, and he looked at the northern wall of Daluo City, which was also burning into the sky.
The fighting there is even more intense.
In the night, black spots kept falling from the city wall inside and outside the city wall.
Countless buildings with thick city walls were immersed in the sea of fire.
Mars is like stars and fireflies, constantly climbing and circling in the night sky.
Zhu Shangbing, who had his horse aside, watched as the cavalry behind him rushed down from the rubble into the city. He once again said loudly: "The army is not allowed to harass the people of Daluo City, and is not allowed to break into people's houses. Directly attack the government offices in Daluo City. , palace, warehouse."
After giving the last order.
Zhu Shangbing gritted his teeth and looked at the city wall on one side.
"Step aside!"
A roar.
Separate the cavalry in front of you.
Zhu Shangbing drove the horse under him and rushed towards the city wall with a gap in height.
The horse gallops.
The neighing continued.
Zhu Shangbing held the reins tightly and lifted the horse's head heavily.
The front hooves of the war horse flew in the air, and the rear hooves stepped hard.
Under the moonlight.
The war horses are flying in the air, and the generals on the horses are like mountains.
In the blink of an eye, the war horse had stepped onto the city wall.
On horseback, Zhu Shangbing also swooped down from the horseback onto the city wall due to the bumps of his horse.
The war horse behind him fell heavily to the ground.
Zhu Shangbing held a long knife and rolled on the ground several times before finally stopping.
Before he could take a breath, there was already a roar from the defenders.
Zhu Shangbing crouched down, waving the long knife in front of him.
The guards and soldiers with broken legs fell to the ground.
"It's the Crown Prince!"
"Hurry over!"
On the city wall, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers occupying a section of the city wall spotted Zhu Shangbing rushing up the city wall, and immediately shouted loudly.
Zhu Shangbing killed all the enemy troops in front of him, then turned back and struck the remaining defenders who had fallen to the ground with broken legs.
Each knife was aimed at the neck.
After doing this, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers closest to Zhu Shangbing who had climbed onto the city wall had already killed them.
"Your Majesty, it's you!"
Who would have thought that Prince Qin could actually use his horse to rush to the city wall from the ruins of the collapsed city wall. ….
Zhu Shangbing had no time to talk and patted the shoulders of the officers and soldiers in front of him: "Where is your grandson?"
The officers and soldiers looked left and right, then pointed forward.
"It should be in front."
"Just now the voice of Taisun seizing the city and beheading the generals came from over there."
Zhu Shangbing nodded, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth: "Follow me and kill him!"
…………
"Situ! We
Get out! "
"Yes, Situ, Daluo City cannot be defended now, let's fight out."
"As long as we get out, we will still be useful."
"Fight out, return to the lord of the country in the south, and expel the female cadre Li Jisao. We Annan will still be saved and there will be a way forward."
"Situ, if we don't leave now, we will never have a chance to recover Annan!"
In Daluo City, in the royal palace that used to belong to Annan Rongguang, the palace where the leader of the country, Chen Hao, was supposed to sit, is now gathering a group of civil and military ministers who were left behind in Daluo City.
There are no eunuchs and maids in the palace in the past.
These people had long been carried away to the south by Li Jiyou.
The support pillars that were originally coated with gold powder and gold skin are now covered with knife marks. Even the throne above the palace, which was entirely made of gold, had long been smelted and taken away by Li Ji Ya.
At this moment, in the palace, the Annan civil and military officials who had been left behind in Daluo City were all surrounding an old man with white hair and a snow-white beard among them.
This old man was the one who stayed in Daluo City after Li Ji Yao fled south with the leader of the Annan Kingdom, Chen Hao.
Throughout his life, Chen Yuandan lived as a member of the royal family of the Chen Dynasty.
He is a descendant of Chen Guangqi, King Zhaoming of the Chen Dynasty, and was initially canonized as the Shanghou of Zhangsu Kingdom.
When Chen Yuzong died, Yang Rili succeeded to the throne. Because he did not have the lineage of the Chen Dynasty clan, he was not accepted by the clan and court.
Dazai Gongjing went to resist, but was defeated and killed.
Chen Hao, who was still King Gongding at the time, fled and joined King Gongxuan and Chen Yuandan.
At that time, Chen Yuandan was questioned by many people who supported Chen Wan to rebel and regain the status of the Chen Dynasty royal family.
Later, Chen Hao overthrew Yang Rili and became the leader of the Chen Dynasty in Annan. Chen Yuandan was named Situ for his meritorious service.
In his decades of life, Chen Yuandan could be said to have dedicated his whole life to the Annan Chen Dynasty and the clan.
At this moment, Chen Yuandan, who had gray hair and had not slept for several days because the Ming army was approaching the city, looked haggard and tired. But his bloodshot eyes were full of fighting spirit, glowing with unknown lights.
"Do you all think we should kill Koizumi?"
Chen Yuandan sighed softly and asked the surrounding officials in a calm tone.
But his eyes were already looking outside the palace, and he saw that the entire Daluo City was in a sea of fire.
"If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave, Situ, when all the Ming troops rush into the city!"
"East City! The Ming army is now surrounding the west city and attacking the north and south cities. Only in the east city is there no movement of the Ming army."
"If Situ is determined to leave, we can mobilize the army and fight out of the east city."
"As long as we leave the city, the world is vast and it is impossible for the Ming army to catch up with all of us."…
"As long as we bypass Thanh Hoa City and go to the south and kill Li Ji Yao, we can continue to support the king and take back Da Luo City!"
The officials surrounding Chen Yuandan have already revealed all their escape plans.
Chen Yuandan sneered and looked back at the high platform in the palace, where the empty place that originally belonged to the head of the country was empty.
Then, under the anxious gaze of everyone, Chen Yuandan walked towards the high platform step by step.
All the military talismans were in Situ's hands, and all the defenders in the east city were Situ's confidants.
Everyone saw that Chen Yuandan remained silent and just walked towards the high platform. Even though their hearts were already burning with anxiety, they had no choice but to accompany him and follow him towards the high platform.
Chen Yuandan walked from outside the palace into the palace, then from outside the palace into the palace, and walked in front of the king. Chen Yuandan had walked this road all his life.
He walked over from his position as Situ and continued walking towards the high platform.
The first step.
the second……
The third……
Until, Chen Yuandan stood at the top of the empty platform.
Then under everyone's gaze, Chen Yuandan faced the palace door and slowly opened his arms.
What is he doing!
Does Situ want to be the leader of the country himself?
The current situation in Daluo City cannot allow him to be the leader of the country.
Everyone looked at Chen Yuandan's actions and had countless guesses in their hearts.
"You all want to escape, right?"
Chen Yuandan lowered his open arms and looked down at the officials under the high platform with calm eyes.
There was a hint of embarrassment on the faces of the officials.
They have been using the idea of fighting their way out of Daluo City to cover up their real purpose of just escaping from Daluo City and escaping the massacre by the Ming army.
However, now Chen Yuandan has unveiled the final cover-up.
Everyone blushed in embarrassment.
But there is no way to explain their thoughts and purposes.
"If we don't leave now, we really have no chance to leave."
"There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty: If you keep the green hills, you will not have to worry about having no firewood."
"As long as we are here, as long as Situ is here, as long as the elites in the city are here, there will be hope for Annan!"
Chen Yuandan waved his hand to stop what these people were saying.
He looked at the officials in front of him in silence.
Their official rank is not high.
When Li Jiyao fled Daluo City with Chen Hao, all the rebels and followers in Daluo City followed Li Jiyao and went south, while those who did not follow were all killed by him.
Now these officials in front of Chen Yuandan are all dispensable people.
Although they belong to Annan's powerful families.
Chen Yuandan let out a long sigh, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained away, and the energy that had supported him to stand firm in the past was also swept away in an instant.
He slowly held his legs and sat on the high platform on the ground.
Slowly raising his head, the pale Chen Yuandan looked at everyone: "Have you put away all the gold and silver in your home? Have your children and women taken shelter as well?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy.
Situ was probably persuaded by them!
What if you die?
As long as they are alive, as long as they are still well, Annan still has hope.
They are the foundation of Annan!
Without Chen Yuandan's urging, everyone spoke one after another. ….
"It's all put away!"
"Jinyin Xiruan and his family have been sent to the military camp in the east city."
"As long as Situ gives an order to open the East City Gate and orders the East City defenders to guard it, we will definitely be able to get out!"
They moved so fast.
Chen Yuandan looked at everyone with twinkling eyes, and he fell silent again.
In his mind, he thought of Qinghua City in the south.
These days, although he has been sitting in Daluo City, news from various places has been reaching him.
The people of Daluo City were originally scared away by the traitor Li Jisao.
After the arrival of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Qiong, who was also a member of the clan and the lord of Qinghua City, directly surrendered with the city. Subsequently, the Ming army and Qiu Qiu of Qinghua City did not commit any crimes, and drove Chen Qiong to kill all the dignitaries and gentry in Qinghua City and recall the people who had fled.
I heard that everyone who returned to Qinghua City was assigned a house and a field.
I even heard that today’s Qinghua City has implemented the Ming Dynasty system and established prefectures and counties. If those people of the right age who came back were not married, the Ming officials in Thanh Hoa Prefecture would also select marriage partners for those people.
What a blessing the Ming Dynasty is.
How unfortunate is Annan!
Chen Yuandan sighed deeply in his heart, and then finally asked everyone: "What will happen to the people in the city when we leave?"
Everyone was stunned.
If they go their own way, it has nothing to do with those people.
Do we still need to bring those people with us?
Someone spoke on the spot, hoping that Situ could give up this idea from his heart.
"Situ, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. If we take them all with us, our speed will be delayed. In this case, it won't take long for the Ming army to catch up with us."
"The Ming army prides themselves on benevolence and righteousness. I guess they are just trying to occupy Daluo City, and they probably won't kill the people in the city."
"Situ, let's go!"
"If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Chen Yuandan smiled and glanced at the faces of everyone under the stage.
At this time, the sound of killings in Daluo City was already shaking the sky.
You don't need to look to see that the Ming army has really entered Daluo City.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for Chen Yuandan's nod of agreement with blazing brows.
Chen Yuandan shook his head: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute..."
As he spoke, he looked beyond the crowd and looked outside the palace, then slowly looked back at the empty high platform.
Situ Ding must leave!
Everyone under the high platform was convinced. Looking at Chen Yuandan's appearance, they thought that this Situ did not want to leave Daluo City and could not bear the city being ravaged by the Ming army while he was in charge.
But after waiting for a long time, everyone never saw Chen Yuandan again.
As a result, anxiety and uneasiness continued to breed in the hearts of these people.
"Chen New Year's Day!"
"Are you leaving..."
"boom!"
"The Ming army is coming!"
"The Ming army has entered the palace!"
"The Ming army has reached the outside of the palace!"
Outside the palace, there was a burst of fighting, accompanied by the sound of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers' firecrackers.
In the hall, everyone's faces instantly turned pale.
"Situ!"
"Situ!"
"Please, let's go!"….
"You can still escape from the harem!"
"Situ doesn't want to leave, so hand over the military talisman and let us go..."
Everyone knelt on the ground, begging Chen Yuandan to let them go.
Chen Yuandan may have rested well at this time, but he still stood up with some difficulty. He did not look at the people kneeling under the high platform, but looked at the door of the palace where the smell of gunpowder smoke was already coming.
The white-haired old man had a smile on his face: "I'm not leaving... We don't even have to leave..."
Not leaving?
Before everyone could react.
Chen Yuandan suddenly roared: "Come here! Kill all the rebellious officials and traitors here!"
In response, everyone who was still in a daze saw countless officers and soldiers pouring out from behind the high platform.
These are Chen Yuandan's personal soldiers and generals!
Before everyone could ask for mercy.
These soldiers and generals had already rushed forward, raising their swords like cutting melons and slashing at these people here.
Inside the palace.
The sounds of sword swings and shouts came and went, and they couldn't stop for a long time.
After a long time, when a fat armored Ming Army general appeared at the palace gate under the light of the fire outside, the killing in the palace was considered over.
Those officials who fell in a pool of blood in front of the high platform, unable to rest in peace until their death, could not understand why Chen Yuandan turned the butcher knife on them.
Zhu Gaochi, who was originally supervising the battle and firing artillery outside the city, only remembered Zhu Yunxi's instructions at the moment the city was broken.
Those who hurried slowly finally led the people into the city. After thinking for a while, they continued to the Annan Palace in Daluo City.
But when he rushed outside the palace gate and saw the corpses strewn all over the palace, he couldn't help but be stunned.
An officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty rushed into the hall from Zhu Gaochi's side.
Before these Ming soldiers could utter a warning, the personal soldiers and generals belonging to Chen Yuandan had already put down their swords and lined up to kneel aside.
"You are finally here."
On the high platform, Chen Yuandan finally lowered his head and glanced at the pool of blood.
former colleagues.
Then he muttered in a low voice and walked down the platform.
His feet stepped on the blood of those people and walked towards the palace door.
Zhu Gaochi frowned and narrowed his eyelids. After thinking for a while, he finally took a step back and gave way to pass.
After Chen Yuandan walked out of the hall, Zhu Gaochi tilted his head and glanced at him, then walked towards the platform in front of the hall.
Chen Yuandan followed suit.
The two stood on the edge of the platform, looking at the chaotic palace in front of them.
Outside the palace is the city of Daluo, which is blazing into the sky.
The sounds of fighting were still coming and going.
"It's not His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson of the Ming Dynasty who came here, and it's not the founding father who came here." Chen Yuandan looked at the young fat general beside him and said with a smile.
Zhu Gaochi took two steps back, raised his arms and bowed, and then said: "This is Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty. His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is fighting on the south city wall, and the general is also supervising the battle outside the north city wall."
"Prince Yan..." Chen Yuandan sighed: "The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty will definitely attend the war in person, the general will supervise the battle, and the prince prince will go to the city to find the enemy. I, Annan, should be destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty should be victorious."...
Zhu Gaochi wrinkled his nose: "My grandson and the general hope to meet you. My grandpa Huang also hopes to have a chat with you in Yingtian City."
Chen Yuandan laughed.
In Zhu Gaochi's puzzled eyes.
The old man actually reached out and patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "From now on, there will be no Annan in the world. I am just an old man. How can I meet the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, let alone go to the Ming Dynasty Yingtian to meet the saint."
There's something wrong with this old man!
Zhu Gaochi was about to speak.
But Chen Yuandan saw that he had already taken out a dagger from his sleeve.
Before he could react, it pierced directly into his heart.
"You are brave!"
Zhu Gaochi roared angrily, and then stretched out his hands to support Chen Yuandan, who started bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
But Chen Yuandan, who had a dagger stuck in his heart, all his strength had completely disappeared. He, who was already an octogenarian, could no longer hold on at this moment. Fortunately, Zhu Gaochi supported him, and he could slowly face Daluo outside the palace. Cheng knelt down.
Zhu Gaochi was going crazy and couldn't figure out why this person would do this.
But Chen Yuandan reached out and grabbed Zhu Gaochi's arm, and turned to look at him with blood on his lips: "Dongcheng Military Camp... Daluo City officials, powerful people, rich and small... are all here..."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes were blood red and he glared angrily at Chen Yuandan who was hanging himself: "What on earth do you want to do!"
Chen Yuandan smiled slightly: "I only hope that the Ming Dynasty can treat my Annan people the same as the people of the Central Plains.
I only hope that the Ming Dynasty can treat the people of Annan kindly, and lighten the corvee and kill.
I only hope that Ming Dynasty can rule over Annan and prevent Annan from getting into the flames of war again. "
The old man's voice gradually became blurred and became almost inaudible.
Then, Chen Yuandan's head drooped softly on his neck.
Zhu Gaochi sighed and slowly let go of his hands.
However, Chen Yuandan's remains were still kneeling on the ground and had not fallen down.
Zhu Gaochi let out another long sigh, looked at Chen Yuandan's corpse with twinkling eyes, and bowed with a long salute.
After he stood up again, he looked solemnly at Chen Yuandan's remains.
"After the death of the public, there was no more Annan in the world.".
