Chapter 254: Divine Soldier

A brilliant firework burst into the sky, and the people of the entire Jiankang City were cheering for this scene, along with the gentry and representatives of the wealthy families in the palace, they were also amazed and intoxicated, and did not notice the strangeness of the period.

The first Shangyuan Festival of King Huai as the emperor, this splendid fireworks, should be a special entertainment program prepared by a wealthy family for tonight. As for which one prepared it, I don't have a clue for a while.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't seem appropriate." Meng Chuliang walked over and said to King Huai.

King Huai smiled: "Meng Xiangguo must be too worried, this is just a fireworks event, what's wrong?" Look, it's released again! Ha Luha, look back and see which one prepared it, there are many rewards! ”

It was rare for King Huai to be happy, so Meng Chuliang didn't say anything more. He wanted to go down and ask which one could make such brilliant fireworks, and as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Zhou Ying coming in with a panicked look.

As the commander of Jiankang City, Zhou Ying did not appear at the banquet tonight, he was responsible for the coordination and orderliness of the people of the entire Jiankang City after the curfew was lifted, and there could be no chaos.

"Why are you so frightened?" Meng Chuliang asked.

Zhou Ying lost his normality, his body trembled and he was a little unsteady, and said, "Xiangguo, this is ...... Liu Wenyan, he killed him! ”

"Liu Wenyan?"

Meng Chuliang was stunned at first, but soon understood, now Liu Wenyan's name has become synonymous with the imperial army, saying that Liu Wenyan came, but in fact, the imperial army killed him.

But how is this possible, the imperial army lacks ships, even if Liu Wenyan dares to risk letting the soldiers of the imperial army cross the river in light boats, but after all, they can't transport the baggage, and it is impossible to quickly break through the river defense. Why did Zhou Ying panic so much?

"Be clear!" Meng Chuliang said.

Zhou Ying said with a sad face: "Those soldiers." I don't know where it came from. Suddenly, some of them may have grown out of the ground, and the city is already in chaos......"

Meng Chuliang originally thought that Liu Wenyan could not have three heads and six arms, but now it seems that the young man is really similar to three heads and six arms.

No one has the ability to "grow" people out of the ground, unless they are spiritually connected.

As he was talking, Tu Meng Chuliang suddenly felt that something was wrong around him, and a dark shadow seemed to envelop him. As soon as Meng Chuliang looked up, he saw a black thing smashing towards him, Meng Chuliang hurriedly avoided it, and the object fell to the ground, as if it was wrapped in a layer of skin, and it was still squirming in the middle. It looks like a big bird covered in a cloth, and it looks like a giant maggot falling from the sky.

The guards had surrounded the strange object, but none of the guards dared to step forward easily, just pointed their spears at them. Suddenly, the maggots seemed to have broken out of their cocoons. A black head popped out, and then the swarthy muzzle of the gun was pointed at the surrounding soldiers.

It turned out to be a person. And it was a soldier of the imperial army, who fell from the sky inexplicably. The soldier apparently did not expect that he would accidentally "fall" into the Huai Palace, so he raised his gun in surprise and fired a shot, and one of the guards fell with the sound of the gunshot, but he was soon poked into a hornet's nest as well.

The soldier died a little miserably, but it still had a great deterrent effect on the guards of the Huai Palace, as well as Meng Chuliang. How did this soldier of the imperial army surround the wall of Jiankang City and suddenly appear in the Huai Palace, which is dozens of miles away from the river, how did this soldier do it?

The shouting and killing in the city gradually increased, and a bloody battle suddenly appeared in Jiankang City, the Huai army was caught off guard, and the defense was not sufficient, and the successive imperial army soldiers continued to descend from the sky!

Meng Chuliang looked at the black shadows that kept falling in the distance, these shadows were still alone in the early stage to deal with the surrounding enemies, but they gathered in an orderly manner in the direction of the city gate, this should be Liu Wenyan's order, let them seize the gate of Jiankang City, so that the army can enter the city.

"There were ancient divine soldiers, falling from the sky!" Meng Chuliang sighed sadly, and then shouted, "Go and inform the emperor, and avoid it for the time being!" ”

Meng Chuliang looked up at the vast night sky, in the night, even if he could rise to a high altitude, it was difficult to accurately determine the direction. He finally knew why the fireworks outside the road were so brilliant, it turned out that Liu Wenyan used secret intelligence agents to set off fireworks in the city to point out the direction of the troops in the sky. As for how Liu Wenyan achieved the divine soldier from heaven, Meng Chuliang didn't know anything.

The chaos in the city was out of control, and although the divine troops of the imperial army were not as many as the defenders, after all, they suddenly penetrated into the vital parts behind enemy lines, and they had powerful firearms in their hands as a backing, and they gradually gained a foothold in the city. These soldiers jumped down from the sky, landed with open cloth umbrellas, and some were lucky, and landed directly in the streets or alleys, or in the courtyards of ordinary farmhouses, and only needed to cut the cloth umbrellas on their bodies, and they could go to the streets and rush to the preset destinations. But there is always bad luck falling in the Huai Palace, and the enemies encountered will be ten times greater, if they fall in ponds and rivers, plus the northerners are not accustomed to water, it can only be said to be unlucky. It is said that on this day, the flower boats on the Qinhuai River alone helped rescue hundreds of court soldiers who fell into the water.

The fireworks in Jiankang City were not stopped by the divine soldiers falling from the sky, on the contrary, more fireworks were lit, and many soldiers would light a cluster of fireworks when they landed, which was their first mission after landing, which was to point out the direction of the landing for the follow-up troops. And because there was no curfew in the city, the chaos of the people on the streets also brought difficulty to the Huai army to quell this divine soldier, and later the Huai army gradually found that it was no longer possible to hinder the pace of this divine soldier, they could only be beaten passively, and the defense line was reduced step by step from the inner city to the outer city wall or the Huai Wang Palace.

The chaos outside the palace of King Huai soon spread to the palace, and at this time, the banquet was not more than halfway through, and the entry and exit of the soldiers made the gentry and the representatives of the rich families very nervous, and they wondered what was going on outside. It stands to reason that even if the imperial army would go to war after the year, it would not be so hasty. After several divine soldiers who fell from the sky landed in the open space of the banquet, no matter how stupid people were, they understood that the imperial army launched a special siege on the Shangyuan Festival.

Although the palace gate of the Huai Wang Palace has been closed, but after all, the enemy is from the sky, any obstacles on the ground will not work, the closure of the palace gate has made the unfortunate fallen in the Huai Wang Palace of the divine soldiers to do the battle of trapped beasts, the firearms in their hands flashed sparks, the palace guards are also a little flustered, often just a few gathered of divine soldiers trapped in the corner, and there is a group of kills behind them, it is impossible to prevent it!
