"Commander, there are Mongols outside, how can we move them away?" a confidant couldn't help but ask.

Cui Li frowned and took a few steps. "Arrange people to guard the door and prevent the rebels from coming in. I saw there is a lake next to the warehouse. I will sink all the gold and silver treasures into the lake. If they cannot be sunk, I will find them."

No place to bury!”

"I humbly obey my command!" Several subordinate generals accepted the order and secretly followed his wishes.

At this time, the fighting in the city was still going on. Wanyan Chenglin, the last general of the Jin army in the city, was separated from Wanyan Shouxu, so he led the 500 Zhongxiao army with the intention of breaking out.

They came to the city gate and charged seven times against the dense Mongolian army, but failed to get out. In the end, all 500 Zhongxiao troops were lost. Wanyan Chenglin was shot off his horse and hacked to death by the Mongolian army.

After Wanyan Shouxu retreated to the ancestral temple, the Mongolian army soon arrived.

The leading Mongolian army saw that the ancestral temple was magnificently built and guarded by golden soldiers, so they thought there was treasure inside and immediately led the troops to attack.

After a while, the Mongolian army came from outside and entered the main hall.

At this time, the bodies of two golden soldiers flew upside down and hit the hall. Then the Mongolian soldiers armed with scimitars broke in and saw Wanyan Shouxu kneeling in front of many tablets.

The leading Mongolian general had some knowledge. When he saw him wearing a dragon robe, he was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Wanyan Shouxu, you still don't surrender!"

Wanyan Shouxu did not look back, he just bowed his head to his ancestors and murmured, "It is a great shame to be the king of a subjugated country, how can you be a prisoner!"

Think about how the Jin Kingdom treated the two emperors Hui and Qin. Wanyan Shouxu was not willing to be a prisoner until his death.

After he finished speaking, he knocked over the oil lamp, and a fire immediately ignited in the hall. The flames engulfed Wanyan Shouxu, and quickly spread inside the hall. Seeing this, the Mongolian army could only retreat in a hurry.

The Mongolian army entered the inner city in the afternoon, but the fighting in the inner city continued until the early morning of the next day.

In the imperial city, the remaining Jurchens guarded various palaces. The Mongolian army paid a lot of casualties to eliminate the Jurchens in the imperial city.

Usually speaking of blood as a "bloodbath" is often an exaggeration, but at this time, when this word is used in the inner city of Kaifeng, it is not an exaggeration.

The Mongols kept their word and massacred the city when they were told. Except for a very small number of the more than 100,000 Jurchen soldiers and civilians in the city, they were either massacred by the Mongolian army or they set fire to themselves and burned themselves to death.

Early the next morning, the fighting was basically gone, but many palaces were still burning.

Subotai led his troops into the imperial city. The ground was filled with corpses, leaving him with almost no place to set foot.

In order to welcome Subotai into the city, the Mongolian army simply cleared a passage, but corpses were piled on both sides, and blood flowed out and gathered in the middle, forming a bloody stream.

Subotai came to the main hall with his feet covered in bloody mud that covered his insteps, and immediately summoned the generals to inquire.

Cui Li arrived first, "Marshal, the army broke through the city, the Emperor of Jin committed suicide, and more than 100,000 people in the city, except for hundreds of ministers and harem women, were all killed!"
