Chapter 595: Empress Xiaoping's End
The crossbowmen of the new dynasty are still holding arrows.
The corpses of the Han army have been piled up at the head of the city.
Blood dripped on the grass.
Shen Tujian shouted, "Wang Mang is already fighting the trapped beasts. Keep attacking. ”
He thought to himself: If I conquer Chang'an, I will be the first hero of the Han family.
Liu Xuan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, will also reward me.
"General, the army of the new dynasty is still resisting our Han army. The Han army suffered heavy casualties! Wang Kuang cried.
"Who is the guard?" Shen Tu asked.
"The reign of the new dynasty." Wang Kuang cried.
"Persuade him." Shen Tujian said with a smile.
"He's the ruler of the new dynasty. is of the same heart with Wang Mang, will he surrender to the Han army? Wang Kuang asked.
"Yes. Shi Chen is also from a famous family, and the historian is also a relative of the Han family. We can send Wang Dan to persuade Shi Chen to surrender. As long as he opened the gates. You can get the position of the Great Sima. Shen Tujian said with a smile.
"General. Can you call the shots with such a promise? Do you want to report to Your Majesty? Wang Feng asked.
"No, I don't. The official position of the Great Sima. I can still grant it. Shen Tujian said with a smile.
Wang Feng thought to himself: Something is wrong. Could it be that Shen Tujian has any conspiracy?
At the same time, Shi Chen defeated the Han army.
He said to his subordinates: "Let's continue to hold on, there are still reinforcements in the Guanzhong area." can beat them. ”
"My lord, now the rule of the new dynasty is already in decline. If you continue to defend, there is no point. The adjutant general worried.
He thought to himself: If we continue to defend. When the Han army conquers Chang'an City, we are afraid that we will be slaughtered.
"Enough. We are loyal ministers and good generals of the new dynasty, how can we surrender to the thieves? Shi Chen scolded.
"Thieves? General, the Han army is the army of the Han family, not some thieves. The lieutenant said angrily.
"Why do I think you're a spy of the Han army?" Shi Chen said angrily.
"I was originally a member of the Han Army. Wang Mang is the rebel of the Han family. The adjutant scolded.
"Are you the opposite?" Shi Chen scolded.
"Rebellion. Checkmate. You surrender to the Han army immediately, and General Wang Dan is already outside. The lieutenant laughed.
"Wang Dan? Isn't he His Majesty's cousin? "Shi Chen couldn't believe it.
He thought to himself: How can this be? It turns out that he also surrendered to the Han army?
"Your Excellency, General. Lord Wang Dan was originally Liu Xiu's subordinate. Surrender. The new vitality is gone. His Majesty the First Emperor can crown you as the Great Sima. The lieutenant laughed.
"Okay. I surrendered to the Han army. Shi Chen cried.
He thought to himself: Your Majesty, Weichen did not deliberately surrender. However, for the sake of the glory of my family, I still had to surrender.
General Wang Dan walked into the camp tent and said, "General Shi Chen, you can understand the righteousness and surrender to the Han army, it is really a blessing for the people of Chang'an City!" ”
Shi Chen said with a smile: "The Han family is orthodox. I was supposed to be a loyal servant of the Han family. My surrender to the new dynasty was originally an expedient measure. I hope you can let go of my daughter, who is Wang Mang's queen. ”
"Yes. Lord Shi Chen. General Wang Dan said with a smile.
Wang Kuang and Shen Tujian also walked into the barracks.
"Shi Chen, you are indeed a military wizard." Wang Kuang said with a smile.
"Don't dare to be. I'm not a military wizard. Shi Chen said modestly.
"You are humble. You are a military wizard. Otherwise, you can't defeat the Han army. I hope that you will join us in your allegiance to His Majesty in the future. Wang Kuang complimented.
"Master Shi Chen, you are indeed a genius. I believe that the First Emperor will definitely reuse you. Shen Tujian said with a smile.
He thought to himself: Surrender first. I have other arrangements.
Chang'an City was then opened.
Han troops swarmed in.
When the Han soldiers saw the people, they slashed and slashed them.
The people of Chang'an City began to flee in all directions......
The soldiers set fires everywhere, and the city of Chang'an was plunged into a sea of fire......
The soldiers shouted: "We have won...... Rejoice......"
"Soldiers, after you conquer the palace, the gold, silver and jewels in the palace are yours. How much and how much to have. Shen Tujian shouted.
The Han soldiers rushed to the palace and began to attack.
The Han cavalry trampled on the bodies of the soldiers of the new dynasty and shouted: "The new dynasty has fallen, and we have won." ”
The Han crossbowmen also began to release arrows......
A dense rain of arrows also shot at the palace.
Wang Kuang shouted: "Trebuchet ready." ”
The trebuchets of the Han army also drove out.
Piece by piece, the stones flew towards the palace.
Shen Tujian led the Han army and began to storm the palace. He himself drew his bow and shot at the Yulin Army.
The Yulin army in the palace also began to scatter and flee......
"Your Majesty, Shen Tujian has already broken through the capital. The assault on the palace began. Hurry up and run away. Eunuch Longchang cried.
"How is that possible? Isn't there still 100,000 defenders in Chang'an City? How was it defeated so quickly? Incredible! Wang Mang was taken aback.
"Shi Chen has surrendered to the Han army." Eunuch Longchang cried.
"So, what about the Queen? Her mother surrendered. Did she slip away too? Wang Mang asked.
"The queen also committed suicide. She felt that she had no face to come to see His Majesty. So ......," Long Chang cried.
The matter of Queen Shi Luo is like this:
"Mother, run away. The capital has fallen. The rebels are already storming the palace. The maid cried.
"What's going on? Isn't the shogun the father of Hongu? Did he die in battle? Queen Shi Luo asked.
"Mother, the prince has surrendered to the rebels. So, the gates were opened. The maid cried.
"This palace has no shame to see Your Majesty again." Shi Luo cried.
She then took out her dagger and killed herself......
"Mother...... "The maid cried.
She thought to herself: Niangniang, why did you kill yourself?
Shi Luo continued: "If the rebels catch this palace, this palace will also die. Father was too confused. The rebels will not let him go. Even if he surrenders. ”
The maid cried, "Mother. Didn't the Han army give preferential treatment to prisoners? ”
"Liu Xuan doesn't have the bearing of a king. Even if he destroyed the new dynasty, he would only substitute the people into a deeper catastrophe. Queen Shi Luo cried.
After listening to the story of the eunuch Longchang, Wang Mang said: "The queen is also a strong woman. She didn't want to be humiliated by the rebels, so she committed suicide. You and I will go to the stage together. There are secret passages there, and you can get out. ”
Long Chang thought to himself: If I kill Wang Mang, wouldn't it be a great achievement?
Wang Mang then took Longchang to Jitai.
There are traps everywhere and there are many fountains.
Wang Mang thought to himself: Now I can only hide here first, and then escape here when I have the opportunity to make a comeback.
"Your Majesty, let's hurry up and escape. Otherwise, once the Han army finds here. We're in danger. Long Chang cried.
Wang Mang thought to himself: If this is the case, he will be killed if he goes out now.
I can't go out yet.
