Chapter 1218 The city exploded

Hou Yangcheng obviously didn't want to bring unnecessary burdens, this time he fled in a hurry, he didn't even have time to blame him, he just wanted to escape to a safe place as soon as possible.

Maeda Toshinaga told him that it would be safer to escape to Nara, so he first thought about fleeing to Nara. The palace people only brought their close ones. If they brought all of them, the royal family would not have so much funds. The Toyotomi regime treated him It is very respectful, but the royal family's funds are also very limited.

If you bring all of them, you really can't afford to support them. What kind of dignity do you need on the way to escape?It would be nice to save your life.

Xiao Ruxun stands between the heaven and the earth with an extremely powerful posture, controlling the Great Qin and oppressing the world. The reputation of Emperor Longwu has just begun to be resounding, but it is not only Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideji who are frightened.

Which of the vassal states in Southeast Asia didn't know Emperor Longwu's illustrious reputation and strong desire for power. They all knew that Xiao Ruxun was completely different from other emperors of the Celestial Dynasty. They had a strong desire for power and control, and they had quite high demands on them.

It's uncomfortable, but who dares to resist?Who dares to fight against Emperor Longwu of Great Qin?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dead, and Toyotomi Hideji and Tokugawa Ieyasu are intimidated. If the powerful faction is like this, Hou Yangcheng, who is a virtual emperor, naturally does not dare.

Run away quickly, he just wants to run away quickly.

So he made a decision.

"The lowly people dare to stop the holy driver, Maeda Qing, drive them away immediately, let's go!"

A public official conveyed Hou Yangcheng's meaning to Maeda Toshinaga, and showed a gesture of extreme impatience.

Maeda Toshinaga also felt very impatient for a long time, and had no intention of bringing these people with him at all. With an order, more than 100 people appeared from the [-] elite troops escorting him, and they killed them with long knives.

These palace people didn't expect that the emperor they served would send troops to kill them directly. They were so terrified that they couldn't even escape, and they died under the soldiers' long knives. The shouting was very penetrating.

Maeda Toshinaga couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately ordered.

"Kill them all! Leave no one behind! Get out of here immediately! We can't stay here for long!"

The movement was a bit loud, and Maeda Toshinaga was worried that the movement would attract the attention of other people who didn't know. They left quietly and didn't disturb anyone. For this reason, even the defenders of the east gate that were about to leave were replaced by elite soldiers. The army, not the army of strong men who have just been pulled.

He intends to abandon the whole city and all the strong men, leave Kyoto with the appearance of the central government, and ensure the survival of the central government so that the country can still have a government after this catastrophe.

And it's obviously not that easy.

In the process of their killing, the noise caused was obviously not very small. People around had noticed it, and some people noticed it, but they dared not go out for fear of being killed, but the quick arrival of a night patrol team composed of strong men changed the situation. the direction of all this.

"This is... Shengjia? Shengjia is leaving?"

The leader of the strong men saw a huge convoy heading towards the east gate, and there were also large vehicles that only the royal family could use in the convoy.

Such a large convoy at night is obviously not engaged in any night maneuvers, the only possibility is that they want to leave, they want to run, and they want to leave here!

Reminiscent of the news that Maeda Toshinaga issued the city-wide martial law order and the recruitment order, the strong man leader immediately realized that this was the possibility that Shengjia was leaving the capital city.

And then thought of the possibility that Qin's army could not be stopped, and the royal family and Guan Bai would give up this city and run away secretly!

He panicked immediately.

The appearance of such a night watch team of more than 20 people holding torches suddenly appeared here also shocked Maeda Toshida, and without waiting for their reaction, he immediately ordered the elite army to step forward and kill them all.

Another massacre ensues.

But this time their luck was not very good, not to mention the screams during the killing, a few torches flew around, and actually directly ignited several dilapidated wooden and thatched houses, and there was still a little wind on this day, It didn't rain, and the fire spread all of a sudden.

There were no one in a few rooms, but there were still people in a few rooms who were dying of old age. They didn't dare to come out, but when they saw the house was set on fire and their lives were threatened, they rushed out and shouted.

The sudden change made Maeda Toshinaga's mind go blank, and finally ordered the convoy to speed up under the strong urging of the retainers around him, but it is not easy for such a huge convoy to speed up and leave the city for a while.

And obviously not as fast as the fire spread.

As a result, a large number of astonished crowds and even night patrols appeared continuously on the way of the convoy. The common people and the captured young men looked at this huge convoy in astonishment, not knowing why.

Some people were still standing in the middle of the road and couldn't react, Maeda Toshinaga's retainers immediately helped him make a decision.

The cavalry is clearing the way, and anyone who stands in the way will be killed!

The ferocious cavalry became more elite and good at fighting against the unarmed common people. They cleared the way for the convoy like cutting melons and vegetables. The night watch team with lights and torches came here, and even the strong men who were on duty at night were alarmed.

From panic at the beginning to panic and then to fleeing in all directions, people suddenly understood the meaning of the convoy's desire to leave.

Some people who have seen the imperial frame shouted "that is the car of His Majesty the Emperor".

This time I poked the hornet's nest.

Everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened, and even the civilians who were advancing with the convoy appeared, and the guard army couldn't control it at all.

Finally, when Maeda Toshinaga arrived at the Dongcheng Gate with the head of the convoy, the tail of the convoy was still struggling far away, but at this moment, there were not only the convoy at the Dongcheng Gate, but also many people. These people didn't know at first What is the destination of the convoy, I only know to follow blindly, but now I know.

Get out of town!
The convoy is going out of town!
His Majesty the Emperor is leaving the city!
They are going to escape!

Panic was instantly ignited, and I don't know who was the first to shout out such words as "His Majesty wants to run away", "I want to run away too", and "Let me out". Anyway, the panic quickly formed a chain reaction, and a large number of people Shouting the slogan "Let me out", they stormed the city gate frantically.

The convoy lost its formation due to the impact of the common people and the strong men, and was in a mess. It was impossible to form a team at all, it was completely messed up, and it was a mess.

Furious, Maeda Toshinaga ordered the army to massacre the civilians to make a bloody path, but more and more civilians crowded together. Although the guard army wanted to kill them, it became extremely difficult to move, and the guard army was also dispersed. , the order could not be conveyed at all.

The convoys of a large number of ministers and nobles were blocked and even separated. The female relatives were crying, and the male master was panicked like ants on a hot pot. The guards could not do anything and could not move at all.

It was already very difficult for Maeda Toshinaga to protect himself and Hou Yangcheng's frame. The army at Dongcheng Gate originally wanted to open the gate and let them go first, but they were attacked by countless panicked people and confronted them It seems difficult to act.

Between Maeda Toshinaga and the east gate, there are countless people who can't get through.

As a result, something even more terrifying happened. A large number of fireballs suddenly erupted in several places in the city, followed by an extremely terrifying explosion sound.

The city exploded!
