Chapter 268: Take Chengchang
Five cannons were raised again, and the muzzles were aimed at the Chengchang city wall.
Since the Qin army cooperated with the coalition forces, almost all the Qin army bombed the city walls with cannons, and then everyone attacked them together.
Therefore, it can be said that the Qin army was the main force of the capture of these cities.
However, this time, before Lu Chen ordered the bombardment of cannons, the gate of Chengchang City was opened.
The stone gate was slowly opened, revealing the hundreds of people standing behind the city gate.
There were luxuriously dressed nobles, soldiers in armor, and ordinary people in coarse linen.
After the city gate opened, the team of hundreds of strange people rushed out directly, leading a middle-aged man in luxury clothes.
"The king of Ming, the king of Wu, and the king of Qin."
The middle-aged man bowed to the three people in front, "I have seen you all, I am the head of the Xue family in Chenghan."
Xue Family.
The three of them looked slightly calm, and the Xue family was one of the best prominent families in Hanzhong.
"What do you mean?"
The head of the Xue family pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is unrighteous, and no matter how stubborn we resist, we cannot compete with you."
"It's better to surrender directly to find a way out."
"Now, except for the imperial palace, the rest of Chengchang has been controlled by us."
"You want to negotiate with us." Lu Chen said directly, his eyes sharply.
The head of the Xue family was stunned at first, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Although we have controlled Chengchang, what are the abilities we can negotiate with you?"
They were very self-aware, but with their mobs, they were simply unable to fight these soldiers.
The head of the Xue family bowed deeply to the three of them, "The villain only hopes that you can keep the people in the city for one life."
Lu Chen sat on the horse and glanced at the head of the Xue family from a high place, "As long as no one resists, the Qin army will not kill anyone."
The head of the Xue family breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned his eyes to Zhu Mujin and Sun Zhuomu.
Zhu Mujin coughed lightly, "Chengchang is from Qin now."
"Since the Qin Kingdom has spoken out, we will naturally abide by it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Zhu Mujin in surprise.
Even Sun Zhuomu's expression was a little astonished.
Didn’t Zhu Mujin dislike Lu Chen?
Why do you directly recognize the status of Qin?
Facts have proved that Zhu Mujin not only admitted that Chengchang belonged to Qin, but also took the initiative to let the Ming army stationed outside Chengchang City, and he only brought a few hundred people into the city.
Seeing this, Sun Zhuomou had to let the army stationed outside the city.
Both the big countries in the south are like this, and the other small countries naturally follow suit.
This saved Lu Chen from persuading them to keep the army outside the city.
In the end, only 50,000 Qin troops were able to enter Chengchang City.
Everyone in Chengchang also breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew the reputation of the Qin army. Whether it was to take down Qin or Wei, Qin had always been unscrupulous to the people.
What they really worry about is always those coalition forces.
As soon as the 50,000 Qin troops entered the city, they went straight to the palace and surrounded the palace with clear goals.
However, when Lu Chen rode his horse to the palace, his expression changed slightly, "Everyone retreated!"
The soldiers were confused and could only obey orders and retreat quickly.
Shortly after they retreated, the fire in the palace became more and more obvious, and everyone could clearly see it outside the palace.
"Are on fire?"
Everyone was a little surprised.
Lu Chen looked around and suddenly fell in love with a big tree near the palace wall.
He grabbed the horse's belly and jumped into the air, pointing his toes on the horse's back to leverage the force.
Just a few lighter strokes, Zhao Jin jumped directly onto the big tree, and the situation of the entire palace was brought back to his eyes.
Zhu Mujin watched Lu Chen's movements and his pupils contracted slightly.
Lu Chen's martial arts are even stronger than he thought.
Soon, Lu Chen came down from the tree.
Li Chengyin took the lead and asked: "How?"
"Walking in from Ximen, there is no fire in Ximen."
When everyone walked around the west gate, they found that the west gate was wide open and many palace servants escaped from it.
As soon as the palace maids and eunuchs stepped out of the palace gate, they saw the army outside, all of whom had their legs and feet weakened and fell to the ground.
"Sir, please spare your life!"
Someone recognized Lu Chen and said repeatedly: "The king of side by side, let us spare us. We really don't know anything."
Lu Chen frowned and got off the horse's back, "What's going on in the palace?"
Seeing that Lu Chen had no intention of killing them, everyone calmed down.
A bold eunuch spoke out: "Your Majesty has burned himself in the bedroom."
"The fire starts to burn, and everyone is not in a hurry to put out the fire. Then the fire spreads like this."
In fact, no one was thinking about putting out the fire. Since Liu Jin ordered people to drug the river, there were countless people in the palace who wanted Liu Jin to die.
But they didn't have the courage to start after all. Now that Liu Jin is burning himself, it is impossible for them to put out the fire and save Liu Jin.
I wanted to wait for the fire in Liu Jin's bedroom to be almost burned, and then everyone put out the fire.
Who knew that the fire directly burned the nearby palaces.
Seeing that the fire was uncontrollable, everyone fled one after another, and no one dared to stay in the palace anymore.
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Preserve them."
The Qin army immediately controlled all the palace maids and eunuchs.
Then, Lu Chen led the Qin army into the palace.
Although the fire was very large, 50,000 Qin troops put out the fire together, and the entire palace would not be burned into the sea of fire.
But nearly half of the palaces were burned.
One corpse after another was carried out.
Lu Chen walked out of Liu Jin's bedroom, where there were about a dozen corpses everywhere.
These are the palace servants who had no time to escape from Liu Jin's bedroom, and they were also the funeral objects carefully selected by Liu Jin for himself.
"Have Liu Jin's body been found?"
When Li Chengyin saw Lu Chen, he briefly explained his subordinates to him and immediately came over.
“Finally found.”
Li Chengyin pointed to a charred corpse, "The corpse was just tested by Tianshangxing, and it was confirmed that this was Liu Jin's corpse."
Li Chengyin was still confused on his face. He knew how Tianshangxing judged that the burnt corpse was Liu Jin's.
He asked a question at that time, but the other party looked at him with a smile and said, "If you want to know, you can give it a try."
Li Chengyin immediately shut up.
Lu Chen lowered his head and glanced at the corpse and nodded slightly.
Since Tianshenxing has been confirmed, there is no problem.
"After cleaning up, find a place to bury all the bodies."
Li Chengyin nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Does Liu Jin's body be buried separately?"
"After all, he is the king of Han."
"Ha," Lu Chen glanced at the black corpse, "Is he worthy?"
