Chapter five hundred and seventy-seven the disaster of the water
The chariot team suddenly became panicked, with pursuers behind, blocked on the left, and forests on the right, especially the pursuers behind, getting closer and closer. They suddenly reached a desperate situation and became panicked.
"I'll look south!"
General Yang Ding, general of Xingyi, heard that there were people from Liangzhou upstream, so he rushed downstream with his troops without hesitation to find a suitable water section for crossing the river.
Emperor Liu Xie asked the Grand Marshal Yang Biao in a trembling voice: "Yang Qing, can you have a way to cross the river?"
Yang Biao looked at Bashui and said, "Although this water is deep, it can still be reached. You can throw the carriage down and build a wooden bridge..."
Before he finished speaking, General Anji Dong Cheng hurried over: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have found a few boats upstream to cross the river."
Liu Xie couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then said sadly: "How many boats are there? What if many people might pass by?"
Dong Cheng glanced at the court officials, family members and palace servants following behind, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said decisively: "I don't care about much anymore. Your Majesty, Empress, the Three Dukes and the Important Ministers first!"
Liu Xie looked back at the team, and was still hesitating, and the ship was already coming along.
Dong Cheng immediately asked his marching lieutenant Shang Hong to run towards the river bank with the emperor on his back, and helped his daughter, Guiren Dong forward.
Seeing that the opportunity was fast, Fu Wan hurriedly asked his sons Fu De and Fu Jun to go up and support the queen Fu Shou, and he followed closely.
Dong Cheng swept away the father and son, but did not speak. After all, they were the queen's family. Seeing this in the crowd, Song Hong hurriedly helped his daughter, Concubine Song.
Seeing this, the families, servants, palace servants and soldiers behind them didn't know that they had been abandoned. In despair, they immediately became crazy and rushed towards the river bank.
The Grand Marshal Yang Biao and the Minister Yang Qi and other ministers hurriedly controlled the situation, but they could not control the situation at the critical moment of life and death.
Seeing this, Dong Cheng drew his sword and chopped two palace men who were rushing forward. His sword pointed at the place where the queen was stern and said sternly: "Sun Wei, take the sword and open the way!"
Fu Jie Ling Sun Wei immediately held a knife and slashed all the way, leading the way among the crowd. Several waiters who were following Fu Shou were all cut to death. Blood splattered all over Fu Shou. Fu Shou's face was pale, his lips moved, and his eyes were filled with sadness, and tears fell like rain. At this time, she and the emperor were still alive and had no master of life and death, so how could they protect these attendants?
The two nobles Liu Xie, Fu Shou, Dong and Song first boarded the boat, and then Dong Cheng, Fu family father and son, Zuo Ling, Zhong Ji and some close ministers, ministers, Liu Xie urgently called the Grand Marshal Yang Biao and other court officials on board, but Yang Biao decided to stay calm.
When the boat was about to leave the shore, dozens of soldiers and attendants rushed to the edge of the boat, climbing onto the side of the boat and trying to get on.
Dong Cheng looked ferocious, stood up, and slashed the long sword in his hand towards the side of the ship. As the emperor Liu Xie exclaimed, blood burst out, and more than ten fingers fell into the ship. Four or five servants screamed and fell into the water.
Seeing this, Dong Cheng's confidants immediately waved their swords and slashed their fingers, screaming everywhere. A pile of bloody fingers fell from the boat, and blood splattered on Liu Xie, Fu Shou and others all over their faces, and countless people fell in the water. Even when they shouted for help, most of them would not be able to water, or had heavy armor on their bodies, and they gradually sank down one by one.
Liu Xie covered his face and cried.
Yang Biao was carried onto a boat and saw hundreds of people on the shore. With the four or five small boats, he couldn't cross it back and forth. He immediately shouted on the boat: "Retreat the carriage into the river, build a wooden bridge, and support it to cross the river!"
When the desperate soldiers and entourages on the shore heard this, they immediately shouted and started to act, pushing the carriage down the river.
Yang Biao's cousin, Yang Qi, the Huangmen Minister, Zhong Yao and other ministers were still on the shore and immediately commanded the soldiers to take action.
The river water was about a foot deep, and a carriage would only be submerged when it went down, so another one was piled up.
The river water was cold in October, but these soldiers and attendants didn't care at all, and just wanted to build a floating bridge.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves behind were getting closer and closer, dozens of cavalry came over, followed by thousands of people. The current one was Yang Feng, General Xingyi. Yang Feng was covered in blood. Seeing that Dong Cheng and the emperor had crossed the river, he cursed and immediately shouted: "Look north and cross the river in the shallow water!"
When the crowd was neutral, there were some courtiers, attendants and soldiers following north.
Yang Qi and Zhong Yao saw that the carriage was too slow to build the bridge, and it was unstable, floating with the water, and it was difficult to cross the river, which was too far from what they expected. When they were in a hurry, a shout came from the downstream: "There is a floating bridge to the south!"
Yang Qi was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly greeted Zhong Yao the court officials, family members, attendants and palace servants who were left behind: "Look south and cross the floating bridge!"
So everyone turned to the south again.
After running south for about two miles, I saw a floating bridge above Bashui, which was made of dozens of boats, more than ten feet wide. Yang Ding's troops had already crossed most of them, and everyone immediately followed him across the river.
Before the floating bridge, Yang Qi, who was settling everyone across the river, heard Zhong Yao exclaiming on the other side and hurried over. He saw a wooden board standing by the floating bridge with some words written on it. When he approached, he saw that it said: Build this floating bridge, the supreme will not enter Chang'an, so as to help the disaster. The signature is Zhang Liao.
His body shook and immediately realized that Zhang Liao had already expected such a disaster. Thinking of the emperor's previous decision, he couldn't help but pause.
The moon rabbit sank into the sky, and it was dark at dawn. After most of the court officials, family members, attendants and palace servants passed by most of the palace servants, Yang Qi and Zhong Yao breathed a sigh of relief and were grateful for Zhang Liao's buoyant bridge, but at this moment, there were shouts of killing from behind, and a torch could be seen from afar. He also heard the horse's hooves like thunder, which were the Liangzhou cavalry chasing him.
More than a hundred people waiting in front of the bridge were in an uproar and rushed towards the floating bridge. The floating bridge became turbulent and many people fell into the water.
Yang Qi and Zhong Yao hurriedly soothe people's hearts, but the Liangzhou cavalry was extremely fast and they chased after him in a blink of an eye. Guo Si was the one who took the lead.
When Guo Si arrived at the riverside, he immediately knew that the emperor had crossed the river. He was furious and immediately ordered the soldiers to rush up to the floating bridge and kill them wildly.
Yang Ding saw the pursuers on the other side of the river and heard Guo Si cursing, and immediately ordered the soldiers to cut off the floating bridge across the river. As the rope was cut off, the floating bridge was turbulent and was washed downstream by the water. Nearly a hundred people on the bridge exclaimed.
Seeing that the opportunity was fast, Zhong Yao rushed out from one side, drew his sword and cut off the floating bridge here. The entire floating bridge floated downstream. Zhong Yao pulled Yang Qi and jumped onto one of the small boats and drifted along the water.
Li Jue's floating bridge was destroyed and furious. Seeing that there were nearly a hundred people on the shore, he immediately caught several servants and asked. When he learned that Yang Feng and the emperor had crossed the river from the upper reaches, he immediately took his soldiers north and rushed to the upper reaches of Bashui.
However, the military discipline of Liangzhou under his command was the most corrupt. He chased and looted, and even the clothes on the palace servants were snatched away. When he encountered resistance, he directly stabbed and stabbed them with weapons. Large numbers of servants and palace servants were forced to jump out of the Bashui and swim to the other side. Some survived, and some were drowned directly.
