Yingdu, the strong city wall collapsed in the roar of countless artillery, and the gate of the royal capital, which had never been threatened by the Chu Dynasty for 800 years, was trampled and shattered under the iron hooves of the Han army, and the banners of the Han Dynasty began to unfurl and bloom in the sky above Yingdu.

King Chu Palace, leaving the palace, King Chu Huai opened his dim eyes, and after more than a month of careful treatment, although he couldn't stand up, he was already able to speak reluctantly.

"It's noisy outside!" He looked at the princesses and children around him. "Silence them."

The princess was speechless with tears in her eyes. The other princesses whimpered.

There was a loud bang, and the magnificent hall shook a few times.

"Is it an earthquake?" Turning his head with difficulty, King Chu Huai asked in a low voice.

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

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

"Yield, Huang Xie, let them come to see me." His voice trembled.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei Qu is gone, three days ago, Taiwei Qu died in Qianyangmen, and now the general of Yingdu is General Bi Xuan." The princess whispered.

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

Qu Zhong is the captain of the Chu State, commanding the soldiers and horses of the world, and even he died on the battlefield, which shows how much this form has deteriorated.

"Princess, can't you hold on? How far are the Han Chinese from us? ”

"King, now only the inner city remains, the outer city has been lost, and the 200,000 defenders have collapsed and fled. The Han army has entered the city in a big way, and now only General Bi Xuan and Huang Shoufu are holding the inner city with 20,000 imperial forest troops. The princess wept.

"20,000 people, hold on to the inner city?" A desperate glint flashed in King Chu Huai's eyes. "Five thousand miles of rivers and mountains, eight hundred years of dynasty, I don't want to be in my hands today. After death, he had no shame to see his ancestors and ancestors. ”

"King!" In the main hall, there was a mournful roar.

The inner city tower is taller and stronger than the outer city, and at this moment, a steady stream of Han troops is converging here from all directions, and every hundred flags are arriving. It represents that the main force of the Han army has completed their mission and reached the final goal, the inner city of the palace of Chu.

Qu Chong had died in battle, and Bi Xuan had become the supreme commander, but everyone understood that no matter who it was, it was no longer possible to save the fate of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Huang Xie watched in despair as more and more Han troops arrived at the palace, and watched in despair as a cannon raised its black hole under the city.

"Shousuke!" Qi Hua looked at Huang Xie. "We've lost this battle."

"The King." Huang Xie wept and said: "Your subordinates are incompetent, not only can they not solve the worries of the lord. On the contrary, my Dachu faced the disaster of the country, and today the minister has no way to atone for his sins, so he can only die with the country and atone for his sins with death. ”

"Shousuke. Since we are already bound to lose, we might as well ......"

Huang Xie looked at Mi Hua in amazement: "King, do you want to surrender to the Han people?" ”

Mi Hua gritted her teeth. After a while, he finally nodded: "The matter has come to this, what is the benefit of dying in vain?" I heard that King Qi and King Zhao are doing well now. We might as well sacrifice and surrender, and we will always be able to survive. Look at the cannon under the city, once it is launched, this inner city is afraid that it will be burned. ”

Huang Xie silently turned his head to look at the majestic and glorious palace, once upon a time, the Chu Dynasty was the richest country on this continent, and the palace here was also the most luxurious and brilliant in the world, but now, all this will belong to others.

Surrender? Huang Xie never thought about it.

A flash of fire suddenly flashed in his eyes, followed by a raging fire rising into the sky under the thick smoke. There was an uproar above the castle tower, and the place where the fire broke out was in the direction of the palace.

"It's the palace, it's my father's bedroom!" Mi Hua exclaimed. "General Bi Xuan, go and put out the fire!"

Bi Xuan rushed over and was about to dispatch manpower, but Huang Xie had already grabbed Bi Xuan: "The king has made up his mind, he can't save it, and he doesn't need to save it." ”

He knelt on the ground with a thud and touched the ground with his head: "Respectfully send the king to ascend." ”

Bi Xuan knelt down wordlessly, and above the city tower, all the soldiers of the Chu army knelt down.

King Chu Huai ordered the palace to be piled with firewood, poured fire oil, and burned it, and all the princesses were buried with their bodies.

Under the city, the Yellow Dragon Banner embroidered with nine gold edges finally arrived, countless Han soldiers raised their swords and guns, cheered loudly, and the shouts of long live shook the heavens and the earth, and Gao Yuan appeared outside the Chaoyang Gate of Chu's inner city.

"Shoot the king's handwritten letter into it, tell the Chu people in the city, open the city and surrender, and the Han promised not to kill anyone, protect the temple of the Mi clan, and protect the descendants of the Mi clan. Otherwise, as soon as the cannon fires, everything will be over. Gao Yuan shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes!" He Weiyuan responded, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, galloped forward, and galloped until he reached the Chaoyang Gate, bent his bow and arrows, and with a whoosh, a feather arrow was inserted into the city tower with a lofty handwriting.

"Shousuke, Kaesong has surrendered!" After reading Gao Yuan's handwriting, Mi Hua was pleasantly surprised, he was overjoyed to be able to save his life, and if he could also save the temples of the Mi family, it would be an unexpected joy. "The enemy is outnumbered, the general trend has gone, and no matter how low it is, it is useless to resist, but it will only hurt people's lives."

Huang Xie sighed, knelt in front of Mi Hua, and knocked his head three times: "The king is right, the matter has come to this point, and resistance is useless, so according to the king's wishes, open the city and surrender." The king, forgive the ministers for their disloyalty, and can no longer serve the king, please take care of yourself in the future. ”

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

Huang Xie got up and smiled bitterly, "Where else can the minister go?" The minister is incompetent, and he has misled the country so far, so he can only thank the world with death, and the minister will go after the first king, and in front of the first king, go to ask him for guilt! ”

Qi Hua watched in amazement as Huang Xie climbed onto the high battlements. "General Bi Xuan, quickly hold the first assistant."

Bi Xuan's face was pale, and he stood there, but he didn't move.

In the eyes of countless people above and below the city, Huang Xie jumped down, jumped from the high city tower, and fell heavily in front of the Chaoyang Gate. The blood instantly stained the front of the Chaoyang Gate red.

"Shousuke!" Before Mi Hua grabbed the battlements, she cried bitterly.

Bi Xuan sighed, took off the helmet on his head, and carefully placed it in front of Mi Hua: "The king, please take care, the minister is also gone." ”

Without waiting for Qi Hua to react, he had already jumped onto the battlements, pulled out the saber at his waist with a bang, put the knife on his neck, and strangled it hard, and under the splash of blood, Bi Xuan also fell down the city like a stone.

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

Under the city, countless Han troops were also moved, in front of the Chaoyang Gate, tens of thousands of troops were as silent as death, under the banner of the Chinese army, Gao Yuan spit out a breath of turbidity, "Pitiful, pity, pity!" ”

Half an hour later, the Chaoyang Gate opened, and the young new king of Chu was dressed in white, tied with hemp rope around his waist, holding a crown in his hand, and behind him, several ministers walked out tremblingly holding the map of the territory of Chu and the book of the people.

On the city, the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers of the Chu army fell weakly, and the sound of the long song rang out. The sound of wailing and crying continued.

The Han army rushed into the palace of the king of Chu, which was glorious for a while, and the glorious Chu Dynasty was launched by the Han army to it, but it lasted three years and then disappeared.

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

"War is for eternal peace, now we only have the last enemy left, defeat him, the world will be unified, from now on the continent will be no more war, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the Han will rule the world."

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" On and off the city, flags were unfurled, and the soldiers cheered in unison.

"Meng Chong."

"The last general!"

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

"Obey the order."

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

"Destroy Qin, destroy Qin, destroy Qin!" A deafening shout shook the world.

Yingshui, Wu Ya rushed into the dilapidated city, but he still didn't catch up with the last battle, because when he was still dozens of miles away from Yingchuan County, the news of the third division came from the direction of Yingshui.

The Chu army surrendered.

Although they have not laid down their arms, the Chu army has withdrawn from Yingchuan County and camped outside the city, around the camp, there are no defensive facilities, even the flag of the Chu State has been lowered, and the lifeless Chu army camp cannot hear a sound. After the Fourth Division was on guard outside the Chu army camp, Wu Ya was already impatient to step on the pontoon bridge erected by the Chu army and rushed all the way to Yingshui City.

"Meihua!" He roared and rushed into the general's mansion, and then saw Mei Hua, who was missing a left arm, and was smiling and leaning against the gate looking at him.

"You, where is your left hand?" Wu Ya gasped.

"You're not blind again, he broke up with me." Mei Hua laughed: "You're still so careless, what's the matter, you're late again, you always can't catch up, this battle is over, how can I climb up again, the next time we meet, remember to salute me, if I don't know, I'm going to get a military commander, when you see me, you have to be respectful, but you can't shout so much." ”

Wu Ya's eyes moistened: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." "Just came all the way from Yingchuan County to the river, what I saw along the way can be described as thrilling, the corpses on both sides of the bank are piled up like a hill, and now Mei Hua's side, there are only three or two big cats and kittens left, and none of them are intact.
