Chapter 1219 A Miserable Group of People
In the end, I don't know who yelled "Qin's army has come in", and this is good, the whole situation is out of control like a volcanic eruption, and it exploded in an instant.

Some people and strong men who had been controlling themselves immediately rushed towards the gate of the city desperately. The guarding army of the east gate immediately started a massacre when they saw this situation.

Once the massacre started, it couldn't be stopped. Under the pursuit of the non-existent demon behind them, the civilians and strong men turned into red-eyed beasts, madly attacking the defense line of the East City Gate defenders.

In order to protect themselves, the defenders also launched an extremely violent massacre, not only using knives and guns, but also using iron cannons.

The sound of iron cannons sounded, and rows of people fell to the ground to die. The corpses were piled up pile after pile, layer after layer, with blood splattered and broken arms flying. The east gate directly turned into a Shura field. Galloping in a very bad direction.

Maeda Toshinaga and Hou Yangcheng, who were supposed to leave the capital city quickly to escape for their lives, were directly blocked on the road and could not move. After the explosion sounded, they encountered unreasonable attacks from civilians and strong men.

The vassals quickly formed a line of defense and quickly killed those who wanted to do something wrong. Fighting desperately, at least maintained the safety of Maeda Toshinaga and Hou Yangcheng, but the situation was out of control.

The army, civilians, and strong men started fighting each other. The nobles wailed and cried in such a tragic situation and could not find a way out. Many nobles even died under such a situation. Absolutely miserable.

It was nothing more than the fact that the guard army had been killed, and the red-eyed people crawled over the corpses to snatch the carts and horses, vent their violence by the way, and killed everything they saw, for no reason.

This unreasonable attack on each other continued like this. From midnight to dawn, about one-third of Maeda Toshinaga's elite vassal guards were killed, and the dead men And civilians are even more unknown.

Maeda Toshinaga didn't know why these strong men and civilians suddenly became so violent, attacking and killing them crazily, let alone how the inexplicable explosion came about. If it wasn't for the explosion, the situation would not have changed. Be so violent.

When it was dawn, something even more terrifying happened.

Maeda Toshinaga's vassals and guards finally escorted Maeda Toshinaga and Hou Yangcheng's own carriages all the way to the south gate and tried to escape, only to find that the situation had become extremely bad when they got there.

Refugees who came to Kyoto from Danba and other places have blocked the city gates.They slammed on the city gate frantically, shouting to go in.

But the people in the city wanted to go out again. Seeing such a posture, the expressions of the most resourceful retainers changed drastically, not to mention Maeda Toshinaga and Houyang Cheng.

The explosion last night was not just inside the city, it also happened outside the city. It also exploded inexplicably in the distance, directly detonating both inside and outside the city. People inside the city wanted to go out, and people outside the city wanted Come in, all four doors are blocked.

At the beginning, the vassal group still had some hope, and led them to kill towards the west gate and north gate. After losing a lot of manpower, they realized that the city had been completely blocked and they had no way to escape. .

Faced with such a situation, Hou Yangcheng had completely lost his mind, and came to question Maeda Toshinaga himself, scolding him to the point of despair, but the current situation must be resolved, and in desperation, the most resourceful retainer suggested that everyone simply return Go to the palace and stick to it.

"Wait for the people inside the city to rush into the outside of the city or the people outside the city to rush into the city, let these mobs kill each other and kill each other, and then we rush out, otherwise, in the current situation, the gates of the city are blocked, and we will not be able to escape at all. don't go."

As he suggested, Hou Yangcheng and Maeda Toshinaga had no other choice but to follow his advice, head towards the palace, and return to their original lair.

At any rate, people were thinking of escaping last night. No one took advantage of the chaos to rush into the palace. Except for a little chaos, there was no one in the palace. The retainers and the surviving army immediately blocked the palace gate to ensure After the palace was safe, a group of people sat down and gasped in shock.

What happened last night can really be called a shock.

What's more frightening is that they didn't keep anyone except Maeda Toshinaga and Hou Yangcheng including his queen. All the officials, nobles and royal family were scattered outside the city. sluggish.

How could Maeda Toshinaga not have a dull face?

All his family members were also scattered outside the city. At that time, he was only concerned about running for his life, and he didn't have time to take care of his family members. Now, although he remembered it, he also felt that they were too bad to survive.

The wives, concubines, children, and relatives were basically scattered outside the palace. Based on the terrible situation last night, it was really hard to tell how those mobs were killing each other with red eyes.

But this is already the entire strength of the guarding army and retainers. In order to protect their lord, they themselves suffered heavy casualties, not to mention losing a large number of people, and even their family members were lost.

Now one by one, like the eggplants beaten by Shuang, lost the will to fight and were exhausted.

But what else could be done?It's already a matter of trying my best to do this, what else can I do?

When they fled all the way, they could also see many damaged carriages and tattered corpses of horses, as well as many luxuriously dressed corpses scattered outside. Obviously, another family of nobles died here.

This is really miserable to the extreme, so miserable that there is nothing to add.

However, they have no way to solve this matter. The army has dispersed, and they don't know how many people survived. The number of people who can protect them now is less than 300 people. Facing the rioters in the entire city, they can't stand up at all. to what effect.

It is impossible to restore order, and it is also impossible to regain control of the city. Everyone is in chaos, and order has been destroyed. Now is the time for fists and swords to speak.

The situation has gotten out of control, the future has become unpredictable, and it is not known whether the Qin army has come or whether there has been a Qin army outside the city.

If it is said that these can be discussed after a while, then there is another problem that is very straightforward and has to be faced——

They were hungry, but there was no food around them, and they didn't know what to eat.
