    The Yangtze River is extremely wide by nature. Even with hundreds of ships ferrying around the clock, it would still take some time to transport hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, the Northern Han army only occupied the front line of the river defense forts, leaving the south and west directions of the city open, leaving the south to the south.  The Han Army lived up to expectations and rushed to the foot of the capital with an urgent march. They set up a formation under the city. They first sent a few people into the city and sent a message to the generals and generals through the channels they had already contacted, asking them to open the doors and surrender.  It's also a good way to have a bright future.  But unexpectedly, the defenders of the South Gate, who had been secretly communicating with each other for a long time, turned against each other and expelled the envoys of the Southern Han Army. They closed the city gate and ignored them. They dared not be wordy again.  Just greet him with a bow and arrow.  The Southern Han army was furious, but there was nothing they could do. The city wall of the capital was no better than that of a small county town. You could easily climb it with a few ladders. This was a pass that took 100,000 people and 20 years to build. Not to mention that ordinary ladders could not climb it.  Going up there, even those friends from the martial arts world who are good at making light of their bodies will be in vain when they encounter a city like this.  The Queen's imperial edict and the generals of Marshal Mu Ying came one after another. The generals of the Southern Han Army under the city were also anxious. They ordered the army to cut down trees nearby to make siege equipment, desperately trying to get into the capital before the Northern Han Army.  , this is not only for the oath to enter the capital first and become the king, but also for the welfare of the brothers.  There are so many good things to eat, drink, and have fun in the capital city. The young wives and eldest daughters of the noble families usually only go out for spring outings. Each and every one of them is so young that they can squeeze out water. If they enter the capital this time, they must first  Just plunder according to your temper and do whatever you want. That is what motivates the big guys to work hard.  Yuhuatai is a mass grave. Except for a few large black locust trees, there are not many weeds. On the contrary, the green trees in Dabaoen Temple cover it. The Southern Han Army must build ladders, siege vehicles and other things.  Logging can be done quickly only if the wood is nearby, so I set my sights on the Royal Zen Garden.  At this time, the Ouchi guards disguised as monks in the Great Baoen Temple had already evacuated the temple, leaving only the real monks. The Great Baoen Temple is the largest temple in the world, with a huge golden Buddha statue, and the Buddha is preserved on the glazed pagoda.  The relics of the temple are also the administrative organ that manages temples across the country. Pilgrims flock to them every day, and I don¡¯t know how much money they charge for sesame oil.  Without the protection of the government, the fat-headed monks were so frightened that they closed the temple doors tightly and hid in the main hall to chant sutras, hoping for the blessing of the Buddha. The Southern Han army broke down the door and rushed in, beating the monks when they saw it and attacking anything valuable they saw.  They robbed and robbed the courtyard where the monk lived at the back. They actually found a dozen tightly tied little girls from a Zen room. It was only after the first interrogation that they found out that these people were all fascinated by the monk Ma Fan when they were offering incense and hid them in the temple for their own use.  of.  Most of the soldiers in the Southern Han Dynasty were reckless people with a sense of justice. Upon hearing this, they immediately gathered the monks and lined up to cut off their heads. The bare heads rolled all over the yard, like bloody gourds.  All the great monks who had great glory in the past were killed by the sword.  As the killings began, a small group of soldiers suddenly came to report that a group of Northern Han troops had arrived and occupied the Liuli Pagoda.  The general of the Southern Han Dynasty was shocked. There was a Qinhuai River between the two armies. There were soldiers and horses by the river. How could the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty be allowed to sneak over and rush over with their men and horses?  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???  "What are you doing here, Wu Na?" the general of the Southern Han Dynasty asked.  "I am the deputy general of the Xiliang Military Command, Zhuo Ligetu! I have been ordered to station in the Glazed Pagoda. Our king wants this pagoda." The man in the wheelchair said aggressively.  "You want to steal the treasure from us, but there is no way. Come on, little ones!" General Nan Han gave the order, and the soldiers were about to take action.  Zhuo Ligetu laughed evilly and pulled open his clothes, revealing the bulging things on his chest and waist: "Come on, my body is full of explosives, let's finish it together." Behind him, a group of men with cold eyebrows and cold eyes also came.  He tore off his clothes to reveal the explosives tied to his body, with a life-threatening look on his face that frightened the soldiers of the Southern Han Army.  In the midst of a stalemate, the flag officer of the Southern Han Dynasty arrived on horseback and issued a breathless order: "The emperor has a decree to occupy the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple. The safety of the glazed pagoda must be preserved and there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, come and see us."  The general is trying to catch him blind. He has gunpowder tied to his body to fight for his life. The superiors also ordered him to occupy the Glazed Pagoda. If he forced himself to do this, the Glazed Pagoda would definitely collapse, and he would have to behead him as well.  We had no choice but to send troops to surround the Liuli Pagoda. Anyway, these people couldn't escape even if they took the treasure.  Log into 6 Literature Network and support the version of Wulin Empire.  ¡­ The city is full of apocalyptic scenes. The imperial court has completely lost its prestige and role. The streets are full of stragglers and bandits. Fortunately, a few elite armies have not been broken up.Officials headed by Hu Weiyong also gradually organized a network to slowly suppress the public security in the capital.  Before the emperor died, he stayed in the Forbidden City. Not a single Han soldier came in, and the color of the capital of the Zhou Dynasty changed.  The Royal Guards loyal to the emperor are still guarding the Forbidden City, waiting for the moment of destruction. The Forbidden Army has stopped attacking, but they are still surrounding the palace. Outside the range of the fire cannon, one can clearly see the white towel tied to his right arm.  Rebel soldiers patrolled back and forth.  The emperor no longer cares about worldly affairs. He stays alone in the Qianqing Palace. He takes out the cabinet full of memorials, reads them one by one, and burns them one by one. His expression is weird, he sometimes laughs and cries, and the eunuchs who serve him have long been unaware of it.  Wherever he went, the emperor didn't change his clothes and didn't comb his beard. He looked like an old beggar in costume.  In the side hall, Wen Hai and Cao Shaoqin sat opposite each other. There was a pot of wine on the table, and there was no food to go with the wine. The palace was under siege, and fresh vegetables could not be brought in. They relied solely on that little storage, which had long been exhausted.  The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, and now they are finally going to die together. There is nothing to say, only a glass of bitter wine and a few tears.  Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire outside, and someone shouted: "The Han army has entered the city!" Cao Shaoqin and Wen Hai hurried out and climbed to the wall of the Forbidden City to take a look.  The walls of the Forbidden City are higher than those of the capital, and the roads in the capital extend in all directions, making it clear at a glance.  In the early morning, the streets of the capital were empty, with no one around. Waves of white mist rose from the city walls, followed by the rhythmic sound of artillery. This was not the sound of fighting against the enemy, but a salute to welcome the Han army into the city.  .  The west gate of the capital slowly opened. The three cavalrymen who were the first to enter the city were holding a red flag eight feet high. They were flanked by two armed guards, all three of whom were wearing black heavy armor.  After the flag bearer passed by, there was a neat team of cavalry, five in a row, all riding tall horses, wearing black armor. Only the tassels on the helmets were red. The solemn army rolled into the city like an iron stream, endless.  Cao Shaoqin put down the telescope dejectedly and said: "It's over, the situation is over." Wen Hai was also silent.   The first ones to advance into the city were the Xiliang cavalry. Five thousand fine cavalry controlled the main roads in the city, followed by 20,000 Han infantry musketeers. They entered the city from the North Gate and Shuixi Gate at the same time and garrisoned the city wall and the Zhou army's barracks.  .  Except for the troops surrounding the palace, all imperial guards put down their weapons and took off their armor. At the entrance of each military camp, armor was piled up like a hill. All the swords, guns, swords and halberds were put into storage and locked up. The keys and lists were handed over to the Han army.  After receiving the officers, the soldiers of the Zhou army stood in the barracks with expressionless faces, waiting in line to surrender.  The Southern Han Army also heard the sound of artillery and thought it was a competition to launch an attack in advance. They quickly pulled out a few newly built ladders and tried to attack the city, but were beaten back by determined and fierce firepower from the city wall, knocking everyone back.  The general of the Southern Han Dynasty was furious, but there was nothing he could do. The walls of the capital were impregnable and there were countless firepower points, both light and dark. As long as they were determined not to let you in, even if you built siege engines, it would be in vain.  The artillery fire on the city wall was like hail, hailing the Southern Han army for free, so heavy that they could not lift their heads. Let alone attack the city, it was difficult to even move forward. The men in the rivers and lakes were robbing homes and gathering people to fight.  Okay, climbing the city wall under thunderous artillery fire is not their specialty.  After a while, the artillery fire finally stopped. The Southern Han soldiers thought they had run out of ammunition. They cheered and got up and rushed forward. However, suddenly they saw the Great King's flag changing on the city wall. The original ocher-yellow Great Zhou flag was lowered and replaced with a flaming flag.  Red Northern Han flag.  Northern Han troops wearing red uniforms also appeared on the city wall.  The soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty looked at each other, it was over, they were led into the city.  ¡­ After the Han infantry took control of the city wall, Yuan Feng led the civil and military officials into the city in a mighty manner. Unlike the last time he came to the capital, this time the gates of the capital were completely opened for him.  The city gate is wide open, the loess paved road, the fully armed Han infantry and the unarmed former Great Zhou Jing Zhaoyin are jointly on duty, with one post every three steps, one sentry every five steps, and ten motorized cavalry are placed at each intersection.  Looking around, red flags were fluttering in the wind everywhere. It was not that there were many flags of the Han army, but that Hu Weiyong and others had to make them on a temporary basis. They could produce so many red flags overnight, which shows the capital's mobilization ability. If  They spent this energy on resistance. It would probably take some time and lives for Yuan Feng to enter the capital.  Wearing only a plain-colored war robe, with a ribbon tied casually on his head, a sword on his waist, and leather boots on his feet, Yuan Feng straddled his horse and entered the capital very casually.  On the road covered with loess, a frail old man knelt there shivering, flanked by tall and majestic cavalry on both sides.Under the care, it looks even more small and pitiful.  This is Hu Weiyong. He is holding a letter of surrender with the seal of the cabinet in his hand. The old man specially wore a big dress today to show his solemnity.  "Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, was ordered by the King to form a caretaker cabinet to protect the people of the capital. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I now present a letter of surrender from the Zhou Dynasty. Please accept it with your Majesty's approval." Hu Weiyong tried to make his voice sound more powerful, but in these words from Xiliang  Amid the powerful aura of the rugged warrior, his voice was still trembling and weak.
