Chapter 656: The Fall of Qi'an
Ann.
People are panicked and in chaos.
In just two months, the last army of Long Xiguo was also defeated, and the army of Feng Ming Kingdom advanced into Xucheng, which was less than six hundred miles away from Qi'an.
After receiving the military report, Shen Run lost his temper again and slammed the imperial study in anger.
Even if there was no shadow of the enemy, the atmosphere of war was already enveloped in the atmosphere of war, and before the city was sealed, many people fled with their families and fled to the northern border. This is useless, unless they can escape from the border and are no longer from the Longxi Kingdom, no matter where they flee to, as long as the Feng Ying Kingdom army occupies the imperial city, they will all be slaves of the country.
Shen Run deeply understood this truth, so when a minister persuaded him to leave Qi'an and move the capital to the south, he even wanted to laugh a little. What does it make if you flee to, the enemy army has already arrived in the city, talking about the high-sounding "moving the capital", but in fact it is a dying struggle, this kind of self-deception is too ridiculous.
When the army of the Phoenix Underworld successfully entered Axu City, he knew that the general trend was gone, and this battle was lost by him.
He looked calm, not a little annoyed, he calmly stopped the early dynasty, and sent the concubines of the harem home one by one, so that once the city was broken, they would still have their mother's family to rely on, and they would not be alone when they wanted to escape.
He has several concubines, and he basically doesn't enter the harem, and treating these concubines is not bad, and it is indeed not very good. In his heart, he didn't even regard these women as his own women, these women were just a necessary ornament for him when he was an emperor, so when a woman with a chaste temperament knelt in front of him, and the pear blossom cried with rain, and said to him, "I want to live and die with him", his heart was not moved at all, but he felt ridiculous, and he thought to himself, "Who are you, you still want to live and die with me".
In essence, he is a very lonely person.
After the concubines were forcibly sent out of the palace, Shen Run, as in previous years, had a quiet Spring Festival.
After the Spring Festival, the army of the Feng Ming Kingdom finally appeared under the city of Qi'an.
This was expected by Shen Run, and he was not surprised.
What should you do as a king of a dead country?
He had been thinking about this long time when he was sure that he had lost this war. According to the convention, he should commit suicide and martyrdom, he is not afraid of death, but he feels unwilling, very unwilling.
But there was another reason why he didn't choose to commit suicide and martyrdom, he wanted to see it very much, and he really wanted to see what kind of expression Chenguang would use when attacking Qi'an.
On the day of the reunion, it was winter, snowflakes were floating in the sky, and Xue Ling and Mu Han led the remnants of the army to be forced to retreat to Qi'an, and together with Qi'an's imperial city army, they defended the lonely city.
Everyone knows that the general trend has gone, and Long Xiguo has already lost, but they just don't want to surrender easily.
Dying struggles are pointless.
Neither Chenguang nor Shen Run participated in the offensive and defensive battles of Qi'an, this was the last official war, and the result was obvious, she knew it, and he knew it.
Two days later, the city of Qi'an was broken, and the deputy general Mu Han was seriously injured.
The army of the Phoenix Kingdom came to the main gate of the palace.
The palace gate was closed, and there were only five thousand guards left in Long Xiguo, covered in blood and scarred, and under the leadership of Xue Ling, they still refused to surrender.
Although Xue Ling is calm and steady, he is very stubborn in the matter of surrender, and he also knows that the general trend has gone to Longxi Kingdom and will die, his idea is very simple, he is willing to die in battle, but he will not surrender.
The two armies confronted each other at the main gate of the palace, and the soldiers of Long Xiguo stood on the city tower, looking at the dense and continuous soldiers of the Feng Ming Kingdom from the palace gate to the south, the dark armor condensed with a strong aura, and it was inevitable that they were cold, and the blood stained on their bodies cooled and solidified, and the trace of coldness seemed to penetrate into the cracks of the bones, making people's hearts cold, and their hands couldn't stop trembling.
After two days, the snowflakes have turned into heavy snow, this is the first heavy snow of the year in Longxi Kingdom, goose feathers and snow are flying, falling on the house, the ground, accumulating a thick layer, Qi'an City because of the heavy snow covered in silver, become extraordinarily holy, it is in this holiness, corpses are everywhere, blood flows like rivers will appear more sinful.
Xue Ling was wearing heavy armor, and he also felt cold, I don't know if it was because of the weather or the current situation. He felt that this year's winter was colder than any winter in previous years, his lips were chapped and peeling, and there were blood stains, and he stared at the soldiers of the Feng Ming Kingdom outside the palace gate, his eyes were scarlet.
Wind and snow are blowing, and silver frost is everywhere.
Suddenly, a man walked up to the tower.
Shen Run didn't wear a dragon gon, he was wearing a snow-white crane, the snow was fluttering, and his clothes were flying. Man is like the moon on the horizon, exuding a soft and clean light, he often gives people an unreal illusion when he is not moving, as if he does not exist in the world, elegant, clear, and occasionally like the beauty of a flash in the pan at night.
The snow and smoke curled, he stood on the gorgeous and heavy wall of history, looking down, his eyebrows were faint, as if he had not been affected by anything, and his expression was full of indifference and calm.
"Your Majesty!" When Xue Ling saw him appear, he was shocked, and said hurriedly, "It's dangerous here, please take care of your majesty's dragon body and leave here as soon as possible!" ”
Shen Run didn't say a word, he didn't look at Xue Ling, because he saw that in the ranks of the Feng Ying Kingdom under the city, the army spread out to both sides to leave a road, and a white phoenix chariot carried by eight handsome men slowly stepped forward, and the phoenix chariot was very familiar to him.
He looked at the phoenix chariot with a white veil hanging around him.
Heavy snowfall, goose feather-like snow fell on his hair and shoulders, and he suddenly remembered that year when he welcomed her back from the barren desert, it also snowed in Qi'an that year, and that heavy snow was the first step for her to officially start planning against Long Xiguo.
He quietly watched as the white phoenix chariot was carried to the front of the team, and a pair of slender jade hands were faintly revealed in the phoenix chariot, and the gauze curtains of the phoenix chariot were opened and hung on the small golden hooks at both ends.
Morning light curled up like a kitten on the long blanket in the phoenix, she was tightly wrapped in a thick white fox fur, holding the hand stove, looking very cold.
The appearance of being shivering with cold is not something that anyone looks good to do, and it will be disgusting to do it uncomfortably or too much, even if it is a real feeling, the action itself gives people the feeling of being pretentious and cringe. However, the morning light is as white as jade, holy as snow, shrunk into a ball, like a little milk cat eager to keep warm, fluffy, soft, people can't help but rise a wave of love, and even want to take her into their arms and bring her warmth.
Even today, the people of Longxi still can't believe their eyes, even Shen Run can't believe that Longxi is a big country, and he was actually defeated by a "milk cat", and he was beaten so badly.
He looked at the morning light faintly, he didn't know what kind of expression to use to face her at this time, coldness was the only disguise he could think of.
