Chapter 502: Nanjing Falls!

The news of the annihilation of Xu Huizu's entire army spread all over Nanjing, which made the people of Nanjing panic, because so far, no one has been able to stop Zhu Di, and the reason why Zhu Di did not attack must be to do something else, wanting to destroy the city of Nanjing.

As a result, more and more people panicked and wanted to escape from Nanjing and find a safe place.

But since Yun Zichen came back, Nanjing City has been under martial law, and it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, for fear that Zhu Di's spies will get in.

Therefore, the people had to find their own hiding places and hide all the valuable things of each family, lest Zhu Di's army come and rob them.

Hu Ye had long known that Zhu Di would win, but he didn't expect to win so completely, annihilating Xu Huizu's 100,000 horses, and he only lost less than 10,000 people. What's more, Zhu Di actually hit Yun Zichen's army hard, and only 20,000 of the 100,000 people escaped back.

When Hu Ye knew that Zhu Di had blown up the embankment of the Bianhe River, he suddenly felt that this Zhu Di was like Zhu Di in history, he was ruthless, the Bianhe River burst the embankment, and the people nearby suffered greatly. But in order to eliminate Yun Zichen's army, Zhu Di couldn't take care of it so much, and in this regard, Zhu Di was even better than Yun Zichen.

Now no one can stop Zhu Di, so it is only a matter of time before Zhu Di comes to attack Nanjing City, the people are busy fleeing, but Hu Ye is not panicking, although Zhu Di listed himself as a first-class traitor at the beginning of the army, but Hu Ye is not afraid, Zhu Di entered the city, what else can he do? Isn't this undercover agent in vain?

The people in the academy were also a little flustered, after all, many of them were from other places, and many of them had their hometowns in the war zone, and they had been worried all these years, fearing that the war would destroy their hometowns.

Now that Zhu Di is coming, they are also a little at a loss, Li Yuanshan handed them over his feelings, and he will join the struggle at this time. But characters like Xu Huizu and Yun Zichen were defeated in the hands of Zhu Di, what could they do?

Now the master of defending the city will be Yun Zichen, because Zhu Yunwen can no longer find anyone else to defend the city, the group of civil officials have shrunk into a ball one by one, and the generals are also frightened by Zhu Di, and some people propose to let Zhu Yunwen sue for peace and meet Zhu Di's requirements.

After all, Zhu Di's banner is to punish Qi Huang and Qingjun, and now as long as Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng are handed over, won't Zhu Di withdraw from the army?

This building yì is agreed by many people. was so frightened that Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng didn't dare to go to the court, for fear that those officials would capture the two of them and send them out of the city.

Zhu Yunwen agreed to sue for peace, but would not hand over Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, so he sent someone to negotiate with Zhu Di.

But who is Zhu Di, he has been planning for many years, and he has been fighting hard for four years, how can he kill Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng and retire? So he resolutely rejected Zhu Yunwen's proposal, and even Zhu Yunwen's statement that he would rule according to the Yangtze River was vetoed by Zhu Di. He wants the whole world!

At this time, Xu Huizu was already sober, when he knew that he was the only one left in the army of 100,000. immediately thought of committing suicide, but was stopped by Zhu Gaoxu and others, and shouted one by one, which made Xu Huizu soften. These are the children he has held. He still has a wife and children at home, is it really like this?

In the end, Zhu Di also came to see his brother-in-law, thinking that his brother-in-law was a bloody person. Promise never to touch a single hair of his hair.

However, Xu Huizu is an old general after all, and all the 100,000 troops he led died heroically. So on a star-studded night, Xu Huizu ended his life with a long sword, and as for his wife and children, he had already left a letter, presumably his sister would not let his relatives die in Huangquan.

Time also flies, it has come to June, this is the day when Zhu Di ordered the attack on Beiping, nearly 70,000 troops, began to march out of Lingbi and march towards Nanjing.

This news spread quickly, and after hearing the news, the vassal kings in various places also sent troops to kill the traitorous ministers, so as to show Zhu Di that they were on the same front as Zhu Di.

But their army walked very slowly, and after Zhu Di's army had surrounded the city of Nanjing, their army set off for dozens of miles, presumably with the speed of a snail.

Zhu Yunwen's face was ugly, and he couldn't imagine that those princes not only did not enter the army and serve the king, but added fuel to the fire and killed traitorous ministers.

"Your Majesty, order the commanders from all over the country to enter Beijing, they are our last hope." Qi Tai began to build a yì for Zhu Yunwen, and now Zhu Di's army has just surrounded Nanjing, and their people can still run out, if Zhu Di completely surrounds Nanjing, they can't wear out if they want to send a message.

"Commander?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled helplessly, he had been to the commanders in the coastal area, all of them were sycophants, better than those vassal kings, the only hope to save him was the commander of Guangdong, but Guangdong was too far away, waiting for the messenger to pass, waiting for the army of Guangdong to come, the daylily was cold.

So the only things that can be used now are the 20,000 horses that Yun Zichen brought back, and the 10,000 forbidden troops left before.

However, what is even worse is that there are soldiers and no generals, and there are so many city gates in Nanjing, as long as one of them is broken, it will be a catastrophe.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen also had to use a person with prestige to defend the city, such as Li Jinglong, although he was a defeated general, but after all, he led soldiers to fight, so he became the general guarding the gate of Jinchuan Gate, and with him, there was also the king of Gu who was imprisoned in Nanjing.

However, it was this helpless decision that made all the defenses laid by Yun Zichen useless, and all Zhu Yunwen's hard work came to naught.

On June 13, Zhu Di led the army to Nanjing and surrounded Nanjing, and Li Jinglong, who had just been appointed, discussed with the king of the valley and directly opened the Jinchuan Gate and put Zhu Di's army into the city of Nanjing.

A door is broken, a door is broken!

The entire city of Nanjing was broken in this way, but fortunately, Zhu Di's army did not disturb the people, but only occupied the city gate of Nanjing, and then marched towards the Forbidden City.

The city was broken so quickly, no one thought that even Zhu Di would have thought that it would be so easy.

When Zhu Yunwen heard the news, he couldn't wait to break Li Jinglong's body into ten thousand pieces, and when Yun Zichen heard the news, he pulled out his long sword and wanted to chop Li Jinglong in two.

However, all of them have been forgotten, and now there are only 3,000 men guarding the Forbidden City. Once the city is broken, they are in danger.

The people in the academy gathered together and formed a guard team, guarding the gate of Qingtian Street, not allowing the army to rush into the academy.

But they won't find out that there is one less person among the teachers in the academy, and that is an old man.

That old man was naturally Ruan An, and he already knew it the moment Nanjing City was broken. The end of Zhu Yunwen has arrived, and at this time, the secret passage that Hu Ye conspired with him has played a role.

So he went alone, came to the underground passage, through the sewer system of Guò Nanjing, entered the palace, and found Zhu Yunwen.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen was discussing countermeasures with Yun Zichen, and saw Ruan An appear in the palace. Throw a fit.

Zhu Yunwen hadn't seen Ruan An for several years, and he was indeed a little surprised to see him now.

"Grandpa Ruan, how did you get in? Didn't Zhu Di's army besiege the Forbidden City? Zhu Yunwen asked curiously.

Yun Zichen directly pulled out the sword and compared it to Ruan An's throat. yelled, "Humph! I think you are Zhu Di's spy! Hu Ye was the one you recommended to the emperor back then, and now it's good! Nanjing fell, did you collude with Zhu Di back then! Now it's time to persuade you to surrender! ”

Ruan An used his hand to pull away Yun Zichen's sword. He muttered, "General Yun, if I collude with Zhu Di. Do you think this war will last for four years? ”

"Then what are you doing in here!" Yun Zichen said unrelentingly.

"I'm here to fulfill my promise to the emperor and not let the emperor and King Yan kill each other." Ruan An said loudly.

"A promise to the Emperor?" Yun Zichen heard that Ruan An didn't seem to be lying, so he took the sword back.

"Your Majesty, before the emperor died, he once entrusted me that no matter what happens in the future, the emperor and King Yan will not be allowed to kill each other, and now that King Yan's soldiers are in the city, the emperor is already in danger, so please leave the emperor from the secret passage, if you stay in the Forbidden City, you will only burn jade." Ruan An bowed to Zhu Yunwen and muttered.

"Secret passages? Why didn't I know there was a secret passage in the palace? Zhu Yunwen asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Back to the emperor, this is dug up by Hu Ye and the slave maid in the past two years, and it is in the underground tunnel." Ruan An replied.

"Hu Ye?" Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently when he heard this, this qiē and qiē turned out to be inseparable from Hu Ye.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! I always thought that I could subdue Hu Ye for my use, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would have to rely on him to save my life, what a big joke. Zhu Yunwen looked up to the sky and sighed.

"General Yun, this is the only way out for the emperor, you hurry up and leave with the emperor, it's too late." Ruan An knew that Zhu Yunwen would not leave now, so he had to let Yun Zichen take him away.

Yun Zichen's face showed a trace of entanglement, he said that he wanted to apologize for his sins with death and pay tribute to those soldiers who died because of him, but now he has a more important task, to escort Zhu Yunwen out.

"Your Majesty! Come with me, the green mountains are here, don't be afraid of no firewood! Yun Zichen finally made up his mind to take Zhu Yunwen away.

"Grandpa Huang, is this the country you left me? Is this what you left to me? Is this the uncle you left me to guard the frontier? Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes, his face was full of grief, has this been the emperor for four years, is it finally the end?

"General Yun, take the emperor quickly, go through the secret passage behind Guò, go to the Qinhuai River, there is a boat I parked there on it, go as far as you want!" Ruan An said hurriedly.

"Then what should I do if Zhu Di catches up?" Yun Zichen asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'll burn this palace down with a fire, and I'll leave a few corpses behind." Ruan An replied.

Yun Zichen looked at Ruan An, and then took the somewhat wooden Zhu Yunwen into the secret passage.

And Ruan An saw that Yun Zichen took Zhu Yunwen into the secret passage, took a sledgehammer to smash the secret passage, and then burned the palace with a fire!

For a while, the smoke in the Forbidden City was everywhere, and the defenders saw that the Forbidden City was on fire, where they still had the intention of defending the city, they fled in all directions, and Zhu Di's army rushed in, and the entire Nanjing City had completely fallen into Zhu Di's hands!
