The entire Jiankang City is in a state of out-of-control chaos.

Because the soldiers who fell from the sky could not determine the exact direction, there were all those who fell everywhere, and even many "broken bags" on their backs could not be opened and fell directly on the ground and died.

The army in the city cares about its head and tail, and the people in the city basically have two reactions. The first is to hide in their homes and not come out, and they are not responsible for their own affairs. Then they ask God and Buddha to bless these heavenly soldiers to punish evil and promote good, and will not make things difficult for the people. However, some people still came out of the hiding place after hearing the slogan "The heavenly soldiers come to deal with the rebellious King Huai", or rob, sneak or join the heavenly soldiers to take advantage of the troubled waters, and the entire Jiankang City became even more chaotic.

The Huai Palace was also in chaos.

The palace gate was closed, and the "heavenly soldiers" fell from the sky made the guards unable to take care of themselves. The representatives of officials, gentry and wealthy families who were originally attending the banquet no longer paid attention to their lives and death. They were unable to find a way out and had joined the team of palace maids and eunuchs running around.

The King of Huai was alone in the main hall of the Huai Palace. This was the place where he ascended the throne and became the emperor. Although it was magnificent, he also knew that it could not be compared with the imperial palace in Chang'an City. He wanted to compete for the world and sit on the real dragon throne. He was already sure to win, but now it seemed that clouds and smoke gradually disappeared in front of him. This imperial palace in Jiankang City could not be saved.

"Emperor, Dingchang Gate has fallen, and the Northern Army has entered the city." Meng Chuliang found King Huai in a chaotic situation and reported.

Dingchang Gate is the northwest gate of Jiankang City, connected directly to the Yangtze River Main Road. As long as Dingchang Gate is lost, the imperial army only needs to cross the river and whip the tea to enter the city. Although the king of Huai has had a foreshadowing today since then, he did not expect that this day would come so quickly. He was so happy that he was very sad, just in a moment.

"The imperial army... crossed the river?" King Huai looked at Meng Chuliang.

"Yes." Meng Chuliang's face was quite calm. "The light boats cross the river are all inconspicuous small boats. But because our army's river defense was broken, the Northern Army did not encounter too much obstacles when crossing the river. Now Jiankang City can no longer be defended, so it is better..."

"Brother Meng, forget it."

Faced with Meng Chuliang's persuasion of making a comeback, King Huai waved his hand to stop him. At this time, he was already disheartened. Twenty-three years ago, even if Su Yunyang stole his throne, he did not have such an urgent mind to regain his throne.

"I just want to be an ordinary person." King Huai said in a sad tone, "Who is the difference if it is the emperor? If it weren't for the fact that he had ruined me, why would I have this obsession?"

"In the end, obsession is just obsession. The way of heaven is vicissitudes, and everything I do is against the will of heaven."

The sound of killing was already shaking the sky. After the lonely heavenly soldiers gathered, they began to organize effective counterattacks. Together with some troubled people in the city, they knocked open the palace gate of the palace, and a sound of fighting came straight to the main hall.

Meng Chuliang looked at the direction of the palace gate. The brightest thing in his eyes were the fireworks that were constantly ignited. At this time, the fireworks were completely done by the heavenly soldiers. Every explosion in the sky was so shining, clearly indicating the location of Jiankang City. In other words, the heavenly soldiers prepared by Liu Wenyan were still entering Jiankang City continuously.

"Your Majesty, the enemy should not be strong. If you retreat and defend it, it will not be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!" Meng Chuliang advised again.

King Huai walked towards the dragon throne that belonged to him and said, "Brother Meng, you should leave Jiankang City earlier and look for a peaceful son. I have been waiting for twenty years, and there is no longer the next twenty years. Even if I can survive until that age, if the number of days is not on me, why should I force me?"

King Huai sat on the dragon throne, and his expression was so calm. Meng Chuliang knew that King Huai would not leave the foundation he had worked hard to establish at this time, and today's everything was predicted from the beginning of King Huai's decision to rebel. There was no fixed number of success or failure.

After Meng Chuliang hurriedly left the main hall, the heavenly soldiers had completely occupied the main courtyard of the Huai Palace. The Huai Palace's army was defeated and most of them fled in scattered areas. Many Huai Army soldiers had to wear ordinary people's clothes and avoid the homes of the people. Some scattered deserters ignited the houses and warehouses, and together with the Huai Palace, a raging fire was ignited.

Jiankang City, the once prosperous city, appears extremely fragile in the face of the fire. The fires lit in the city reflect the fireworks lit in the air, forming a sharp contrast, one is extremely brilliant, and the other is like the flames of the Avici Hell.

…………

The imperial army entered through Dingchang Gate and gradually controlled the major city gate waterways in the outer city of Jiankang City, but only opened the south gate of Jiankang City. People fled from the city rushed out from the south gate, and many deserters were mixed with them.

The night seemed very dim under the open fire in the sky. It was under this dim night that a strange war was going on. The court troops who were supposed to make trouble in the city and set fire to make trouble, regardless of the remnants of the city, were actually organizing the extinguishing of the fire. The Huai army, who should have cherished their own city, were the culprits of the setting fire.

The eyes of the people were sharp. When they saw the court army helping their civilian alleys to put out fires, while the Huai army set fires and looted in the city, they could no longer help but be angry and joined the side to attack the Huai army. Originally, the soldiers of the Huai army were their children, and they should be concerned about the safety of the place. Since the Huai army did not defend the righteousness, the people had nothing to care about. When they saw the soldiers of the court army, the people welcomed and joined. When they saw the deserters of the Huai army, the people rose up to attack them.

By dawn, the fires in the city had been basically put out. Because the imperial army put out the fire in time, Jiankang City, a thousand-year-old ancient city, was not destroyed by the fire. However, after this fire, nearly half of the houses in the city needed to be repaired and rebuilt, and the entire Jiankang City was filled with choking smoke.

In just one night, the Huai Army fled and surrendered, and there was no effective counterattack. The imperial army quickly occupied the key defense roads inside and outside the city, and the armies had formed effective defenses to prevent the Huai Army from attacking against the Jedi. However, from the actual situation, the deserters who escaped from Jiankang City were not organized in an orderly manner, and the several Huai King cities around Jiankang City did not respond immediately.

There is no suspense in the victory, and the ending is already destined when the heavenly soldiers land in Jiankang City.

Su Yan, the new emperor in Yangzhou City, and Liu Yu, the forward general in this fashion, are also waiting for the latest news on the front line. They are not worried about victory, and their most concern is naturally the life and death of King Huai.

The front-line general who led the troops on the front was Huo Bing. Huo Bing was the commander-in-chief of the Divine Soldiers. After landing in Jiankang City, he was the first to climb up the city tower and defeated the stubborn Dingchang Gate defenders, opened the city gate to welcome the imperial army into the city. Then he led his troops to the palace of the King of Huai, and together with the people, he used a rolling wood to open the palace gate of the King of Huai Palace.

The army that later crossed the river was cavalry first, and the generals led by Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu were all new soldiers. Although these new troops were still in combat experience, they had powerful firearms as a backing and extremely confident confidence. Since these soldiers went to the battlefield, they did not know what failure felt. They were arrogant and fearless, which was the essential psychology of the leading troops. The sweeping of defensive forces in the city was basically completed by the leading troops, and they opened the way for the subsequent troops.

Then came the Imperial Army led by Lan Jing and the Central Army formed by the female army led by Xu Caihua, the deputy commander of the female army. Their original purpose was to help the new army, which was leading the front, gain a foothold. However, after the central army entered the city, the resistance of the Huai Army in the city was almost sporadic, so they put more efforts on putting out the fire. Perhaps it was precisely because of the existence of the female soldiers in the central army that the people felt that the imperial army could rely on. Even women and children had the courage to pick up the bucket and cooperate with the female army soldiers to fight water to put out the fire. The city could quickly settle down overnight, and the soldiers of the central army made an indelible contribution.

Finally, the rear army led by Chai Jin, composed of a series of miscellaneous armies such as Xuzhou City generals, the Imperial Guards, the Xin Army, etc. The purpose of the rear army is to cut off the rear, prevent the Huai Army from attacking from the two wings and cut off the retreat of the imperial army. In fact, the Huai Army did not organize an effective counterattack, so the significance of the rear army was not great. The greatest significance of the rear army became to obtain military achievements for the rebellion of the Grand Marshal Chai Jin. Chai Jin went to the battlefield and was instigated by Liu Yu behind the back, Chai Jin himself volunteered, and the new emperor agreed in a strange way. Then Chai Jin was very excited and took a few large ships from the imperial army to cross the river, enter the city, and hurriedly walked through the scene.

By the 16th day of the first lunar month, ships could be seen everywhere on the river. Most of the ships crossing the south of the river were also confiscated from the south of the river. The new emperor was waiting for news in the riverside camp accompanied by Liu Yu, Qu Zhu, Xu Xuanzhu and other generals. When he saw Huo Bingzhi's arrogant figure, Liu Yu felt a little relieved.

Huo Bing is an absolute pioneer, with no injuries at all, and his whole body is very clean. It seems that he has changed his clothes. Huo Bing was helped by someone and was about to brag about his contributions, Liu Yu immediately went forward and asked, "Where is King Huai now?"

"King Huai?" Huo Bing was stunned, "How do I know which one is King Huai? Yes, I remembered what king you said. There was a chair in the Huai Palace. Someone died. They said what king it was. Why are you looking at me?"

The entire riverside was full of officials in the imperial army, with a respectable status, and the new emperor was still standing on the side, and he was trying to listen to a slut, and no one was surprised.

Liu Yuxin said that letting Huo Bing bring back the front line news must be a major failure in Chai Jin's life. As the Grand Marshal for Rebellion, although he was a little stupid, he personally said that he was much better than Huo Bing who was not in tune with it. He could not even know the life and death of the King of Huai at the first time after breaking through Jiankang City. Liu Yu was extremely angry.

Fortunately, there are still Lian Husheng around Huo Bing. Lian Husheng is much more sensible and sensible. In front of the new emperor Su Yan and Liu Yu, the commander-in-chief of the war, it is related to the stability of the entire rear and the arrangement of the next strategic step. He knows what should be said and what should not be said.
