"Wait a moment!"
"There's a situation!"
Listening to their leader's words, the sergeants put their hands on the hilts of the swords at their waists.
But before they could pull out their swords, a huge roar sounded, and everyone flew into the sky, and then fell apart in mid-air.
A huge shock wave spread towards the surrounding area. The sergeants guarding outside the courtyard and the people who came after hearing the news were hit by random rocks, leaving miserable howls all over the ground.
This loud noise was like a signal, and then all the courtyards that entered the search were filled with thunderous roars.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, only one or two hundred meters of the alley was in ruins, and countless civilians and soldiers were wailing.
"What are you still doing?"
"Hurry and save people!"
"Commander, commander..."
The sergeants on alert in the distance roared and rushed towards the alley, but in addition to the ruins of the alley, there were only countless scattered limbs and severed arms and a gradually growing fire.
The fire here contrasted with the fire in Nijo Castle that was burning fiercely a hundred meters away.
In particular, the intensity of the fire in the northwest corner of Nijo Castle was the most alarming, because there was a castle tower with a platform base and a five-story building with a height of more than 80 meters. It was burning fiercely, and the entire Edo Castle was clearly visible.
The heat wave was so intense that it was impossible to put out the fire, which was hundreds of meters in radius.
The people of Edo Castle, who had been awakened by the violent explosion, saw the castle tower burning and quickly rushed towards Nijo Castle.
As the fire spread, the entire Edo City was plunged into a sea of fire and chaos, turning the sky above the entire Edo City red.
This scene was seen by the Jinyiwei who was several hundred meters above the sky outside the confines of Edo Castle: "This fireworks is really spectacular, I will have no regrets in this life!"
"Hahaha, it's true. If anyone in the future says that our Jin Yiwei can only talk, I will give him a slap!"
"Did you say that Tokugawa Iemitsu and Tokugawa Hidetada were directly bombed to death?"
"Who knows, although the thunderbolt is powerful, Nijo Castle is not small, and Ninomaru Palace and Honmaru Palace are also very large. What if I am lucky enough to hide in a corner and escape?
Moreover, there is a secret escape path in the palace. Whether he can escape depends on his luck, but those ministers, guards and chamberlains between the palaces are definitely dead! "
"Beijing is pursuing Jiannu. Although we have not fought head-on with the three parties of Jiannu, I estimate that the consequences of our surprise attack today will be no less than a big war, and more important than killing 10,000 or 20,000 Fusang people."
"It's a pity that Fuso's palace is a bit far away from the emperor's palace, otherwise it would explode together. It's exciting just thinking about it!"
"Nonsense, the emperor is dead, how can we fight for power with the Tokugawa family and daimyo? How can we have a chance if Fuso is not in civil strife?"
"Brothers, gather at the predetermined location. Let's go back to Ming Dynasty to receive the reward!"
"Hahaha... it's so enjoyable!"
…
Amid the laughter of the guards, the hot air balloon floated into the distance until the fire of Edo Castle loomed in sight.
But the cavalry chasing them on the ground looked helpless, and they could still keep up after leaving the city for a while.
But after chasing him, he entered the mountainous area. How could his two legs run past the floating things in the sky.
It doesn't matter if they are chasing down, but from time to time there will be a loud noise and dozens of sergeants will be taken away. This is what scares them the most.
"Commander, are you still chasing me?"
"Chasing? How to pursue? Where to pursue?"
The pursuing commander responded coldly, then turned his horse and rushed towards Edo Castle. The cavalry behind him breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the reins and followed suit.
When they returned to Edo Castle, the fire was still burning, and it burned until dawn before it was gradually extinguished by the people of the city.
When the sun first rose, the streets centered on Nijo Castle were filled with embarrassed people and soldiers. Everyone's eyes were filled with deep exhaustion and fear.
Everyone looked towards the northwest corner of Nijo Castle. The majestic castle tower had been burned down, leaving only a black frame, swaying gently in the wind.
A gust of breeze blew by, and the castle tower made a creaking sound. Then, in front of everyone's horrified eyes, it collapsed, bringing up dust all over the sky.
If the Honmaru Palace and the Ninomaru Palace are symbols of the Tokugawa family's power, the Tenshu Pavilion is a symbol of the faith in the hearts of the entire Fuso people.
The collapse at this moment is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the faith in their hearts.
"Where is the Maharaja?"
"How is the general?"
"Where are the general's personal guards? Go and see how the general is doing. Is he injured?"
…
After the dust dispersed, someone finally woke up, looked at Nijo Castle and shouted.
The castle tower was burned down, but it can be rebuilt. If something happens to the general, there will be big trouble.
But they were all blocked back by the general's personal guards.
It has to be said that despite such a huge disaster, the general's personal guards were still able to fulfill their duties and guard the gates of Nijo Castle. Their ability was absolutely top-notch.
In the crowded crowd, several military generals pushed aside the crowd and walked to the city gate: "This general is Kyoto's Commander-in-Chief Daisawaki Kooka. I want you to lead me out to see me!"
"The commander is missing!"
"Asshole, where did your own commander go? What do you do for a living, you are a bunch of trash!"
"The commander led people to catch the spy, and then there was an explosion in the house. He may have been killed!"
"idiot!"
Zemu Xiaogang cursed angrily: "Get out of the way, I want to find the king!"
"No, we can't let you in without the orders of the commander and the king!"
"Idiot, your commander is dead. What if the king is trapped? He is waiting for our rescue! Get out of the way!"
"No, we can't tell whether you are related to the enemy who set the fire. What if someone mixes in with you and assassinates you again?"
"roll!"
Zemu Xiaogang roared angrily and kicked away the guard who made the noise: "Come here, break open the city gate. All the officials in the capital will follow me into the city to rescue the prince. The rest of the soldiers will be under martial law in the city. Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed." Got it!"
"Also, go check which ministers entered Nijo Castle last night. Now check the whole city to see who is still there!"
Although Zemu Xiaogang was angry, he was not stupid. He just asked the officials to enter.
With a violent impact, the west gate of Nijo Castle was opened.
hiss……
Through the city gate, everyone took a breath of cold air.
Everywhere you look, there are ruins. The Ninomaru Palace, which was originally a one-way water garden, has been completely burned down, and even the three small islands in the water garden have been razed to the ground.
In this season, Nijo Castle should be lined with green trees and colorful flowers, but at this moment, the leaves are withered, the flowers are uprooted, and there are ruins and ruins everywhere.
There are big pits one after another, and gravel can be seen everywhere.
Burnt black corpses in various poses could be seen everywhere.
Seeing this situation, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
Not to mention so many people, even a mouse would be turned into coke in this situation.
