In an instant, the shells fell on the city wall like raindrops.

The moment the shell landed on the city wall, the explosion happened as promised.

Flames blazed, and explosions continued.Gunpowder smoke kept appearing on the city wall, and the fragments from the explosion and the shattered city wall bricks flew around at high speed like bullets.

The soldiers at the center of the explosion disappeared without even screaming.

The soldiers around the explosion were blown up by shells like rag bags.

The blood even dried up under the high temperature, and the soldiers screamed one after another as they watched the tragedy in front of them.

However, the explosion on the top of the city was too loud, covering their screams.

Xu Hongji stared blankly at all this, his body trembling violently.

He grew up so big that he had never seen the scene in front of him.

"What the hell is going on here?" Xu Hongji shouted hysterically. He couldn't imagine that there would be such a powerful weapon in this world. It was so powerful that it was impossible to imagine.

"Master Guo, hurry up!" The commander of the guards pulled Xu Hongji and ran down the city without saying a word.

At this time, the commander of the guards didn't care whether Xu Hongji agreed or not, so he dragged him and ran down the city.

Before Xu Hongji could react, he was dragged out of the city gate by the commander of the guards.

The few people had just left the city gate building when a shell fell from the sky and landed on the city gate building.

"Oh!"

After a loud bang, the city gate building was turned into ruins.

Some soldiers who hadn't had time to escape were directly buried in the collapsed city gate.

Xu Hongji turned his head and took a look, feeling terrified and sweating profusely.

If he had been inside just now, he would have been decapitated by now.

Xu Hongji was dragged by the guard commander to the stairs and ran down.

Before the shelling started, Xu Wenjue was doing some indescribable things in a brothel in the city.

After the bombardment started, something in Xu Wenjue's body was frightened by the sudden explosion and became weak, and it could no longer stand up, and it has been weak ever since.

Xu Wenjue panicked, put on his clothes and ran out in a hurry.

As soon as he ran out, there were continuous explosions.

Along with the sound of the explosion, there was also the vibration caused by the violent explosion.

Xu Wenjue didn't have time to care about the thing on his body, and looked in the direction of Yifengmen with a face of shock.

"What's wrong with this?" Xu Wenjue's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he couldn't imagine what could make such a big movement.

The people in the city were also terrified by the huge explosion. The people in the city fled the streets in a panic and fled back to their houses.

The green-skinned hooligans in the city began to take advantage of the fire and loot.

The shelling is still going on, and the top of the city has been shrouded in smoke and flames.

The people in the city also saw the movement on the top of the city, they couldn't imagine how this kind of movement happened.All blamed it on Mantian gods and Buddhas.

The number of people burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the city increased, and they prayed that this kind of movement would disappear as soon as possible.

Wei Liangyan, who was recruiting in the city, looked towards the city wall, trembling with fear.

Behind him was the young man he recruited with great difficulty.

But after these young men saw the movement on the top of the city, they ran away without saying a word.

"A bunch of cowards, a bunch of cowards, a bunch of cowards."

Wei Liangyan cursed a few words, then gritted his teeth, his eyes were scarlet, and led the soldiers and horses he brought out to run towards Yifeng Gate.

Halfway through the run, he ran into Xu Hongji who was brought back by the guards.

Xu Hongji's face was full of lifelessness and frustration.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Wei Liangyan looked at Xu Hongji who was surrounded by guards and fled back, and shouted loudly.

Xu Hongji raised his head, looked at Wei Liangyan, and suddenly shouted, "Ah!!! Jinling City can't be defended, Jinling City can't be defended!!!

How can Jinling City be able to defend against Zhao's attack of this level?How to keep it?Even the heavenly soldiers and the future will not be able to defend it, nor will they be able to defend it! ! !

Now I finally know why thief Zhao was able to win so many places in a short period of time. The weapon in his hand is really too powerful, really too powerful! ! ! "

Seeing Xu Hongji like this, Wei Liangyan's heart was completely dead.

Before the thieves entered the city, the chief general was already frightened, and there was no way to continue this battle.

Now that the battle has been fought, the general's mind has been disturbed, and the battle has not been fought again.

Wei Liangyan knew that the current Jinling City could no longer be defended, because it simply couldn't be defended.

The shelling on the top of the city continued, and the sound of explosions never stopped.

The soldiers on the top of the city also began to collapse. They tried their best to escape from the top of Jinling City, shouting.

Many defenders on the top of the city were killed, and the corpses loaded inside could be clearly seen in the messy ruins.

Basically all the defenders on Jinling City who could move escaped.

The defenders above Jinling City had almost no combat effectiveness. Under this level of bombing, they had no intention of daring to resist at all.

The first batch of soldiers and horses have crossed the Yangtze River, and a port has begun to be built on the opposite side of the Yangtze River.

When the time came to noon, the second batch of soldiers had crossed the Yangtze River and began to gather on the banks of the Yangtze River.

The bombardment of the artillery also stopped. After bombing for a whole morning, the defenders on the city wall were already defeated, and there was no need for bombing.

The artillery fire stopped, and the gunpowder smoke on the city wall had cleared away.

The incomplete city wall appeared in front of the soldiers.

The bricks on the city wall were blown apart, and the rammed earth inside was exposed, covered with large and small bullet craters.

Some of the city walls were even bombed and collapsed, exposing the foundations below.

The second batch of soldiers and the first batch of soldiers gathered together and rushed towards Jinling City.

With a distance of four or five miles, it didn't take long for these soldiers to rush to the foot of Jinling City.

After these soldiers arrived under the walls of Jinling City, they rushed over from the collapsed walls.

When Zhao Daniu and Song Hu's soldiers and horses appeared on the streets of Jinling City, Jinling City was completely in chaos.

"He Jiacheng, you lead your troops to the east, Tian Sangou, you lead your troops to the west. I will lead the rest of the troops to the middle, and clean up the defenders who escaped from the city wall." The first batch of The leading general shouted at his subordinates standing beside him.

The second batch of leading generals also issued such orders.

The first batch and the second batch of soldiers and horses rushed towards Jinling City like the tide.

The sound of footsteps resounded non-stop in Jinling City, and everyone in Jinling City trembled with fear when they heard the footsteps becoming clearer and clearer.

Xu Wenjue didn't care about the thing on his body, and ran to Duke Wei's mansion with his entourage.

People who fled began to appear in Jinling City. These people dragged their families and their belongings and ran to the south of the city.

Many gentry in Jinling City held their breath and did not run away.

That's because they feel that it's just a change of emperor, as long as Zhao Wen doesn't endanger their interests, it's no big deal.

Wei Guogong returned to Wei Guogong's mansion and asked everyone in the mansion to start packing their things.At the same time, he dispatched manpower to gather the rout soldiers who had fled.

Wei Guogong does not intend to defend Wei Guogong's mansion, because Wei Guogong's mansion has no danger to defend.

Now he is going to retreat to the imperial city, watching the imperial city walls resist the soldiers and horses entering the city.

More and more people appeared on the streets of Jinling City. These people crowded the streets and alleys of Jinling City.

All kinds of yelling, all kinds of cursing, and all kinds of screams floated in the sky above Jinling City.

The people in Jinling City have lost their leisure, they just want to get out of the city as soon as possible.

Chaos inevitably happened, and in a panic, a stampede inevitably happened.

But even if there was a stampede, it still couldn't stop the people's desire to run for their lives.

Among the fleeing common people, there are still a large number of broken soldiers and green-skinned hooligans.

These people fish in troubled waters and rob the people of their finances at will.

The painting boat floating in the Qinhuai River had also docked, and the actors and actresses on it rushed off the boat one after another, regardless of their dignity.

Jinling has been a prosperous place for fireworks since ancient times, but the current Jinling City is chaotic except for chaos.

"Pick up your things quickly!" Xu Hongji returned to Wei Guogong's mansion, and he shouted loudly as he stood in the front hall.

The butler standing in the front hall hurried down.

Wei Guogong's mansion also began to be chaotic, and there was no peace for a while.

Xu Hongji came to the backyard with his personal guards. He walked around in the backyard, but he didn't see his son Xu Wenjue.

"Where is the bastard? Where is the bastard?" Xu Hongji shouted loudly in the backyard.

The housekeeper hurriedly ran up to Xu Hongji, "Master Guo, Master Shizi went out this morning, and he hasn't come back yet. He must have gone to the Qinhuai River."

When Xu Hongji heard this, he almost died of anger.

"It's evil, it's evil. There is a battle on the city wall, and Zhao's bandits and horses are approaching the city. He still has the mind to go to the Qinhuai River? It's a beast, a beast that is not as good as a pig or a dog!" Xu Hongji pointed at the sky and cursed, he really couldn't understand , How did I give birth to such a thing.

Not long after, Xu Hongji returned to Duke Wei's mansion.

As soon as he came to Wei Guogong's mansion, he saw the servants making a mess.

He rushed in, grabbed a few people who were carrying things outside, and asked, "Where is my father? My father is back?"

"The Duke is in the backyard!" A servant put down his things and pointed to the backyard.

Xu Wenjue hurried to the backyard.

Xu Hongji was cursing, when Xu Wenjue appeared in front of him.

"Father, daddy, what's going on now? Have the bandits entered the city?" Xu Wenjue stood in front of Xu Hongji and asked at the top of his voice.

"Evil!" Xu Hongji yelled, swung his arms, and slapped Xu Wenjue's face with his big mouth.

A bright red palm print appeared on Xu Wenjue's face.

"Nonsense, the defenders on the city wall are desperately resisting, but you are drinking and having fun in the city, you are really evil!" Xu Hongji pointed at Xu Wenjue's nose, and the aunt couldn't stop.

"Father, have the bandit soldiers really entered the city?" Xu Wenjue asked hastily, looking at the messy backyard, ignoring the pain on his face.

"What do you think?" Xu Hongji glared at Xu Wenjue, and then shouted at the people who were busy in the courtyard: "Take away everything that can be taken away from the mansion, and give up everything that cannot be taken away.

Now, anyone who can walk will follow me and go to the palace together. "

When Xu Wenjue heard Xu Hongji's words, he couldn't understand, "Father, the city is broken, why are we going to the palace? Run for your life!"

"Hmph, run for your life? Can you escape?" Xu Hongji snorted coldly, and ran outside under the protection of his personal guards.

Seeing this, Xu Wenjue hastily chased after him.

The troops of Zhao Daniu and Song Hu rushed forward along the streets of Jinling City.

Seeing these soldiers and horses, the fleeing people on the street turned into birds and beasts and scattered in all directions.

The soldiers and horses that rushed into the city ignored them for the time being, but approached towards the palace.

In the afternoon, with the third batch of soldiers and horses entering the city, there were already [-] soldiers and horses in Jinling City.

The [-] soldiers and horses shuttled non-stop in Jinling City, occupying various important streets and places.

But Jinling City is really too big, so for a while, these soldiers and horses have not occupied all of Jinling City.

At noon the next day, there were already [-] soldiers and horses in Jinling City.

With these [-] soldiers and horses, those fleeing soldiers in the city were quickly arrested or killed.

Those green-skinned hooligans who took advantage of the fire to loot in the city were quickly picked up by the soldiers and horses who entered the city.
