Chen De led fifty guards to advance in the muddy alley with blood almost flooding their ankles. The governors had a gloomy face. They would occasionally encounter the Song army in a squad. The trained Fengweimon would quickly resolve the battle before the other party issued a warning. If they encountered too many Song troops, the former yamen runners of the Jinling beacons will use their familiarity with the terrain to bypass the brigade.

It was a drizzling drizzle in Jinling City at some point, and tears were shedding from the sky but failed to stop the tragedy that was happening now. The Song army, who had already become more and more killed, could no longer control it. In addition to monitoring the main force of Tiande Army in Shitou City and the army fighting against the main force of Lingbo Army at Shuiximen, the other Song army was absorbed by the huge Jinling City as if water was poured in the mud. They tirelessly followed the streets and alleys, searching for gold, silver, jade, silk, and of course, women. The whole Jinling seemed to be overturned by a beehive. The greedy bear kissed and stuck out his tongue to lick the last drop of honey inside, and no matter how the bee lived or died.

Along the way, I met many soldiers of the Tang army, but not those that Chen De could see. The scattered and incompetent soldiers could only become a burden to his elite squad, and it might also attract the siege of Song troops. Suddenly, there was a shocking sound of killing and horse hooves coming from the front. Chen De's eyes flashed and he waved his hand to lead his guards through a blood-filled alley.

In the big scene, more than a thousand cavalry wearing black armor, helmets and white timber-wrapped along the Imperial Street were driving a large group of Song soldiers along the Imperial Street. Heiyundu had been fighting in the south for a long time and was familiar with the cavalry that drove the infantry in the city. Everyone had an iron spear across the horse, and when they swept it, they cried out a large area of ​​Song soldiers and shouted at their parents. When they approached, they pulled out a horizontal knife and slashed the infantry's heads. The horizontal swords equipped by Heiyundu were even heavier than those used by ordinary infantrymen, and they almost had a short stick with a sharp edge. Even if the infantry had a helmet, it would be a concussion to hit the heavy thing. More than a thousand cavalry formed a round cavalry group on the wide Imperial Street, which was invincible.

However, Chen De soon realized that the Song army seemed to be embarrassed, but they were very well-organized when advancing and retreating. The infantry avoided head-on conflicts with the cavalry, but kept in contact with the cavalry, which was exhausting horsepower. Some Song army archers had begun to enter the houses on both sides of the Yu Street, and through the windows, they raised strong crossbows to aim at the huge Black Cloud Cavalry.

Although Heiyun rushed left and right, he did not kill many Song soldiers in essence. Instead, he was shot dead and injured by arrows shot by Lengzi. Once the cavalry fell to the ground, they would be cut into meat sauce by the Song soldiers who rushed forward.

Chen De observed the situation on the battlefield and made a gesture behind his back. He and his fifty-year-old guards sneaked into the house close to his side and dealt with the Song army archers from door to door. Perhaps after fighting for so long, there was no established Tang army infantry and cavalry to cooperate in combat. The Song army hiding in the house was extremely relaxed. Often, five or six archers were not protected by a sword and shield hand, which greatly facilitated Chen De and others to take action. Not long after, they killed more than a hundred archers in various places. However, the Song army was large, and more arrows were still shot out from the houses on both sides of the Imperial Street. The fallen cavalry was increasing.

Seeing this scene, Chen De frowned slightly, thought for a while, turned around and divided his personal guards into ten teams, first changed into the costumes of Song infantrymen, lit all the houses on both sides of the Imperial Street, drove out the Song army's crossbowmen, and then met here. The personal guards took the orders and left. The houses on both sides originally stored daily lamp oil, cooking oil, firewood, etc., so ordinary people dared not to stop the vicious army from setting fires. It happened that there was another industry in the Divine Guard Army, and the large amount of charcoal and tinder oil accumulated earlier came in handy.

Before long, the flames rose up, and the crossbowmen of the Song army could not gain a foothold in the burning houses, so they all hid out. Some of the captains led the army ran and cursed loudly. Some bastards who were not open-minded were raped and raped. It was fine, but they even set fire to my head. They didn't see me doing the serious business. After cursing, they didn't forget to fumble in their arms. The dozen taels of silver they just snatched were still there, and they were covered with warmth.

At this moment, the east wind was rising, and this fire that was connected was no more than the scattered fireheads. The splashing tongues rolled in wooden buildings on both sides of the street. Afterwards, the camp in the west of Shengzhou reported to Bianliang. The fire burned two-thirds of the Jinling houses into white land, and even the Forbidden Palace was not spared. Only two or three of the people in the city survived. However, the truth is the truth, some natural disasters and some man-made disasters, and the parties involved have their own arguments, which has become a mystery for the ages. Changde Palace, where Li family in Jiangnan has been born for decades, is known to have piled up money and jade and silk. The Zhao family of Bianliang originally hoped to surrender Jiangnan and take it for themselves. But in the end, they were burned to nothing by a fire.

Although the fire burned the Song soldiers' formation, the cavalry's war horses were even more afraid of fire. These plateau horses purchased from Tubo and Western Shu for many years have been neighing one after another, and they are unwilling to follow the wishes of their masters to rush into the fire to chase the defeated Song soldiers. At this moment, Chen De appeared on the street and shouted loudly: "Chen De of the God Guard Army is here, which general is in front of Heiyun?"

While the other soldiers were comforting the horses, two horses ran to Chen De in three or two steps. Originally, the divine horse was sweat mixed with mud and blood. He was exhausted and could not hold back the horse's hooves. The white air spurted out from the horse's nose was almost on Chen De's face. At first, the knight could not insert seven or eight arrows into his body. There were also several broken arrows on the horse's thighs without the horse armor. He lifted the iron mask, and it was the commander of the Black Cloud Commander, Wan Yan.

He was sweating all over his face, his expression was a little sad, and he clasped his fists to Chen De and said, "This fire was sent by General Chen, and Heiyun was full of affection!"

Chen De waved his hand and said, "It's time for this, I'm just working together, why should I be polite?" Looking closely at a big bag on Wan Yan's forehead, his right thigh was tightly wrapped in white cloth, and blood was leaching out of it. I think it was the injury he suffered when he was fighting with the Song army just now.

After thanking Chen De, Liu Yan said without waiting for the wound to be carefully wrapped, and said, "The Northern Army bullies too much, so I will lead the troops to fight again." He turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "The Song people slaughtered my comrades and insulted my elders. Heiyun man, dare to fight!"

The cavalry of Heiyundu raised his iron spear and shouted in unison: "Dare to fight! Dare to fight!" The war horses under their crotch also neighed loudly, with awesome momentum.

The battle was fierce just now, with less than 800 cavalry remaining, each with wounds on his body, but he still had a full desire to fight. In this blazing fire scene, it was as scary as if the evil ghosts appeared in hell.

Chen De sighed in his heart that Heiyun is not disappointed with the name of the number one elite in Jiangnan. Although he is still fighting, his momentum is catching up with the power of Xiang Yu's twenty-eight knights who broke the Han formation three times! But he was about to rely on the elite black clouds to break the siege, how could he give up like this? He immediately grabbed the reins of the mount of Ji Yan and said, "General Ji, why not protect these more than a thousand Heiyun children and deal with the Song people again!"

If there is still a way to go, how could Ji Yan lead the cavalry to fight against the Song infantry on the Imperial Street? But what is left is to make the enemy pay the greatest price. Don’t underestimate the Jiangnan. Seeing Chen De say this, he also knew that he was resourceful and had a strange plan, so he lowered his head and asked, “The Lord surrendered, and the city gates on all sides were occupied by the Song people. The 200,000 army divided my 50,000 Jinling Tang Army. Is there any big thing to do?”

Chen De nodded affirmatively and said, "Although it is impossible to turn the world around, it is still possible to keep the hundreds of seeds of the Black Clouds waiting for the future." He looked around and saw no living Song soldiers nearby, and then he lowered his voice and said to Wan Yan: "When the Song people broke the city, the city wall has collapsed, and the existing fortifications were built by my brothers. There is a section of it that I personally urged the soldiers to build. There is a section of it that is very weak and cannot stop the Black Clouds from waiting for the armored cavalry to attack. I have already stored a lot of powerful crossbows, saltpeter, sulfur and other items that attack the city walls near the gap, as well as dry food for thousands of people for three days."

"Is this matter serious?" Seeing a glimmer of hope, Ji Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Chen De nodded and said, "Seriously, I am trying to find a strong brigade to break through together. The sky has eyes, but I actually encountered General Ji, a strong soldier." Seeing that Ji Yan was still hesitant, Chen De said, "It's not time to go. The Song people knew that there was a large group of Black Cloud Cavalry here, so they would definitely mobilize heavy troops to siege them."

Ji Yan thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Well, I have the lives of these 800 brothers left, even if Chen Jiedu saved me!" He immediately ordered his subordinates to lead dozens of war horses that had lost their master, and let Chen De and his personal guards ride, and the two families cooperated in one place, and rushed to the gap in the east city wall like lightning. The cavalry group with nearly a thousand people was extremely powerful. The Song army sergeant in the city could not stop them at all, and the large Song army could not come for a while.

Before coming to the Sogdian captain Shi Yuanguang arranged for the army to assemble, Li Si, a captain dressed in the infantry of the Crane Control Army, came up and said, "Brothers are already here, and more than 500 soldiers of other soldiers who dare to fight from all over the city."

Chen De looked behind Li Si, and Huang Wen also changed into a suit of the Crane Control Army and was protected by several personal guards in the middle. He smiled and nodded in the direction where she was, and then said to Li Si: "The city is already in chaos. Without further ado, we will immediately complete the team and stick out of the city with Heiyun."

"Abide by the order!" Li Si replied loudly and turned around and arranged.

The originally quiet house suddenly became restless, and half of the personal guards from Shi Yuanguang and other Divine Guards were tightly surrounded by Chen De. The other half was temporarily used as lower-level officers and commanded more than 500 soldiers. These people carried crossbows and assembled wooden cannons. These things and other supplies were previously hidden in a huge dark room warehouse in this mansion. The Sogdians were roaming around in business, and their most fears were to encounter strong men on the ground, so they had unique experience in hiding goods.

Chen Dexian led the elite infantry to hide behind a street corner not far from the gap in the East City Wall. After Shi Yuanguang urged the weaker soldiers to set up wooden cannons behind, Chen De ordered all the lit saltpeter sulfur and other objects to the Song army fortifications at the gap. Taking advantage of the Song army fortifications being shrouded in a fog of smoke, Li Si led the soldiers holding powerful crossbows to run two hundred steps from the intersection and shot at the fortifications. As soon as the crossbow was stopped, Chen De shouted angrily, and rushed to the Song army fortifications with the 120 infantry who dared to fight the most, and fought with the Song army in the fortifications in the gap.

While Chen De and his sword and shield soldiers were entangled with the Song army, Li Si and Shi Yuanguang, who came from behind, led most of the infantry to desperately remove the weakest fortifications at the gap in the city wall. Because these fortifications were built by these people urged the soldiers to build them, they were also familiar with it. With the dismantling of a gap that was enough for five horses to pass side by side, Ji Yan shouted loudly and shouted loudly that the Black Cloud Cavalry rushed through the gap. After the horse climbed up the rubble pile formed by the collapse of the city wall, he jumped down from a high position, and then ran away from the flat ground below the city. The Song army guarding the city was beyond the reach of the dust. Chen De, Li Si and other Divine Guards, together with some infantrymen of other troops, also climbed up the war horses that were extra from the black clouds, and cooperated with a cavalry of more than a thousand scale to break through the Jinling City Defense, which had been occupied by the Song people, and went east.

The infantrymen of the Southern Tang army who had not climbed onto the horse or could not ride horses also rushed out of the gap and stumbled out of the city. During this period, many of them were shot to death by the Song army at the top of the city with crossbows, but many still escaped from the range of crossbows shot by the city wall. This short-term breakthrough battle killed more than 200 Song army, and the Tang army itself killed more than 400 people. Most of them were shot to death by the Song army at the top of the city with crossbows when they were running outside the city.
