"It turns out to be a west wind at night, it's really going to kill Fusang!"
"Brothers, we only have half a stick of incense, so we need to move more quickly."
"Brothers, take care of each other and take action!"
"Dry!"
"kill!"
"Blow these beasts to death!"
…
There are ten thunders and twenty palm thunders in each hanging basket. There are two sergeants, one is responsible for controlling the flamethrower and throwing the palm thunders, and the other is responsible for throwing the thunders.
Everyone turned over and entered the hanging basket. The people below quickly untied the fixed rope. Without the restraint of the rope, the round hot air balloon, which had been supported by the hot air, quickly took off with the hanging basket and safety rope.
In just two or three breaths, it rose above a hundred meters, and then quickly floated towards the Ninomaru Palace in Nijo Castle under the influence of the wind.
"Look, what is that? It seems like it can fly?"
"It can also breathe fire. Hey... is there a rope attached to it?"
"The Day of the Dead is still four or five months away. How could there be such a thing?"
"Look, it seems like it's over Nijo Castle...it's not moving anymore?"
"No, enemy attack! Sound the alarm and notify the commander!"
"Are you crazy? Have you ever seen anything that can fly? The general is convening everyone for discussion. If we are not enemies, we will be severely punished if we sound the alarm!"
"It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not there. If it is, the general will be in danger... get out of the way, the enemy will attack, attack..."
…
Although it was dark night, the fire-breathing hot air balloon was discovered by the sergeants patrolling the city wall and began to shout.
Guarding Nijo Castle were private soldiers of the Tokugawa family, called the Honorary General Guards. The commander on duty, Hideka Kobayashi, shouted angrily: "Stand where you are, don't mess up, and follow my commander's orders!"
"When someone comes, please notify the Lord to evacuate immediately!"
"Inform the Kyoto Secretary Immediately and ask them to seal off Edo City, search the whole city, and arrest all foreign faces for the prince to deal with!"
"Good night, Yamazaki Jiro, mistress... You can each lead a team to search the surrounding area immediately. Anyone who dares to block it will be killed on the spot!"
"Yoshinao Takeda, bring the big gun with you and beat them down!"
Faintly listening to the shouts below and the running crowd led by the ants, the sergeant on the hot air balloon shouted: "Brothers, let's start, and throw it accurately!"
laugh……
laugh……
hiss……
Thunderbolts emitting smoke and sparks fell from the hot air balloon two hundred meters above.
It takes a little more than six seconds to free fall from a height of 200 meters, but if the initial velocity is added when throwing, the height of 200 meters will not even last three seconds, which is a time when you can't breathe.
boom……
boom……
boom……
Thunderbolts landed on the buildings in the Ninomaru Palace courtyard and exploded.
The power of the thunder was so terrifying. One exploded, and a house was destroyed instantly, and then burned.
The violent explosion caused Tokugawa Iemitsu and the ministers who were discussing matters in the Honmaru Palace to stand up instantly and rush towards the gate.
But before he could reach the door, the door was violently knocked open in an instant, and several embarrassed sergeants rushed in.
"What happened..."
"Your Majesty, leave quickly, there is a foreign enemy invasion!"
"Majesty, the enemy is attacking with firearms from the sky. They are large-scale explosive firearms. Move quickly!"
"Hurry, it's too late if you don't leave!"
…
The sergeants roared angrily, stepped forward to carry Tokugawa Iemitsu and Tokugawa Hidetada on their backs, and rushed out.
The rough movement woke up Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was in a daze. Feeling the vibration in the hall and the fire outside the door, Tokugawa Iemitsu's scalp instantly became numb, and he immediately roared: "Don't go out, follow me, take the secret passage, hurry up !”
Faced with life safety and secrets, Tokugawa Iemitsu chose the former in an instant.
As he spoke, he was about to rush towards the inner room, but no matter how fast he went, he couldn't be as fast as the attacks from the sky.
A thunderbolt fell directly above the main hall of Honmaru Palace and exploded. A huge hole was instantly blown out of the top. Broken wood, tiles, beams, and dust fell like rain, covering the running people.
Before everyone could take shelter, another thunderbolt exploded on the roof, and a beam half a meter thick crashed down, directly hitting the three people who couldn't avoid it. Their chests collapsed and blood spurted out. It seemed that they would not survive.
The beam also blocked everyone's way forward. Broken wood, rubble and bricks were scattered everywhere, forcing everyone to run for cover.
"Damn it, how come the secret passage is so far away!"
Tokugawa Iemitsu cursed in his heart while dodging and running, crossing one obstacle after another.
One hundred sky-blasting thunders and two hundred palm thunders fell down in just over ten breaths, covering all the buildings in Honmaru Palace and Ninomaru Palace.
There were roars one after another, and countless houses were blown to pieces and then burned violently.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Looking at the sea of fire and noise below, Jin Yiwei on the hot air balloon laughed, then drew his knife and cut off the safety rope.
Without the weight of the thunder, the hot air balloon instantly lifted several meters into the air, and then, driven by the wind, quickly headed toward the east.
The hot air balloon that could still be seen clearly turned into blinking stars in Sergeant Fuso's eyes in just one breath, and then slowly disappeared.
"Asshole!"
Seeing the hot air balloon disappearing from sight, the commander of the General Guards, Kozaya Hideaki, smashed the newly filled big hug-type tube to the ground.
"Surround Honmaru Palace and Ninomaru Palace immediately, organize people to put out the fire, and be careful to prevent assassins from sneaking in!"
"The rest of the people will come with me, and if they find those places, I will have to kill them with my car!"
After issuing the military order, Xiaozao Xiuzhong turned around and ran away.
The entire Honmaru Palace and Ninomaru Palace were in flames. There was no point in him staying here, and there was no way to confirm whether the general and the ministers had escaped.
If he hadn't escaped, there would be little point in staying now.
If he has already escaped, then he can only reduce his guilt by catching the enemy.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"The general's bodyguards blocked the opportunity to arrest him and punished him with the same crime!"
Amidst loud shouts, Xiao Zaoxiu Zhong followed the dropped safety rope and led people outside the house where Jin Yiwei had just released the hot air balloon.
"Lord Commander, my subordinates have just inquired about it. This house belongs to the wealthy businessman Heye Nakata's family in Kyoto. It was bought at a high price a few days ago. The same is true for several houses nearby."
"Break open the door, rush in, take down everyone, and leave one alive!"
Bang...bang...
The door was knocked open just a few times, and dozens of people rushed in, searching every room. Xiaozao Xiuzhong also followed in. There was nothing in the courtyard except a rope.
"Roll up the rope and take it away. No one is allowed to touch it without my permission!"
"Send a message to the Secretary of State in Kyoto to arrest the owners of these houses and the nine clans, as long as they are alive!"
"In addition, seal these houses and put people under guard. Anyone who dares to come close will be killed without mercy!"
"withdraw!"
After giving a few orders angrily, Xiaozao Xiuzhong walked towards the outside, but just after taking two steps, a click sound suddenly sounded.
Although it was very light, it really reached Xiaozao Xiuzhong's ears.
