Biography

Siege of Diaoyu Castle

In the summer of 1259, as Möngke Khan was on a campaign to conquer Song China, Chen Lun was part of the army which besieged the Song forces entrenched in Diaoyu Fortress. However, plagued by diseases and faced with the strong resistance of the Songs, the Mongols were unsuccessful in their attempts to break the fortress defenses.[2]

After the failed assault on the Xin Dong Gates, Wang Dechen called upon any able-bodied Mongol to join him in a second beleaguer at the Hu Guo Gates under the cover of darkness, which Chen Lun did. When the Song interrupted the infiltration through a hail of arrows from within the nearby forest, Chen Lun was struck and perished.[3]
