Chapter 269: Human Bridge

With a bang, Zhong Lin's news suddenly made Liu Jun stand up from his position, without any words, Liu Jun went straight to the map.

Zhong Lin thought quickly, took two steps forward, and pointed out the location of the pontoon.

No. 2 pontoon, Liu Jun knew at once that there was a problem with No. 2 pontoon.

In the past few days, the Liaodong engineering corps has erected actual pontoon bridges on various tributaries in Binzhou, and the No. 2 pontoon bridge is a pontoon bridge located on a small river on a tributary of the Yellow River.

The construction of the No. 2 pontoon bridge was mainly to transfer the people from the north bank to the south bank.

"Let's go, let's see." Taking off his cloak and raincoat, Liu Jun took the lead in walking out of the door, and under the escort of the guard company, he urgently got on his horse and headed for the No. 2 pontoon bridge, which was only more than 20 kilometers away from Binzhou City.

The road was slippery, and the already difficult road was made even more difficult to walk after days of heavy rain, and it took hundreds of people nearly two hours to get here.

The commander of the 3rd Regiment of the Fifth Corps, who had been in charge of this place, saw Liu Jun coming, and he stepped forward and told the situation.

It turned out that this morning, everything was fine, 10 noon. A log rushed from upstream hit the pontoon bridge directly, knocking the pontoon bridge into a gap of nearly five meters.

Although the engineering regiment stepped up its rush to repair, it could not make up for this shortfall. There are no materials for building pontoons.

Hearing this, Liu Jun nodded. Led by the head of the regiment to the river. I saw that the river was only about 30 meters, and the five-meter gap was in the middle of the river. Looking to the opposite side, many people are crowded by the river, waiting to cross the river.

"How deep is the water?" Liu Jun asked directly.

"Head, this river was originally a small river, and it is currently less than a meter." Zhong Lin has figured out all the rivers in this area in the past few days.

At less than a meter, this proves that it is not too deep either. Liu Jun lowered his head and began to ponder.

"Head, hurry up, the Pingyuan has already gone upstream, preparing to blow up a dam and discharge part of the flood in advance, and this river is one of the flood discharges, and when the time comes, the other bank can be completely submerged." Zhong Lin saw that Liu Jun was still pondering, and said an even more terrifying message.

With a boom, Liu Jun remembered that half an hour earlier, the Pingyuan had already set off from Binzhou and headed upstream, first blowing up a dam to disperse the rented water from the already crowded Yellow River to the various tributaries.

And the No. 2 pontoon bridge was set up to allow the surrounding people to evacuate.

"." Liu Jun scolded in a low voice, immediately took off his raincoat, and came to the gap, and the surrounding Liaodong army gradually followed.

I saw that there were more and more people crowded on the opposite side, and if they could not be told that this group of people would be taken over within two hours, they would be swept away by the flood at that time.

"Come on." When the soldier next to him heard this, he quickly handed over a two-meter-long green bamboo pole.

Liu Jun picked it up, poked it down, and then picked it up and gestured to see whose traces on the bamboo pole reached his ****.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jun looked at the turbid river and the expectant and desperate eyes of the people on the other side.

With a plop, Liu Jun jumped off the gap at once.

"Head." Zhong Lin shouted loudly and didn't hold back. Looking ahead, Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun holding on to a wooden stake on the pontoon bridge and standing there. "What the hell are you doing standing on it, the Liaodong Army, all give Lao Tzu down and build a bridge. Connect the gap. Let the people pass. ”

"Head, I'm coming." With a plop, Zhong Lin shouted, jumped down, and then grabbed Liu Jun's hand.

The second, the third...... The Liaodong Army had recovered from the surprise of Liu Jun suddenly jumping into the river. Suddenly, he jumped down one by one, and then moved forward hand in hand.

The Qing army, which coordinated the defense together, was also infected by the desperate behavior of the Liaodong Army, and suddenly, many Qing troops also jumped into the river, grabbed their wrists, and moved forward.

At the gap, more and more people jumped off.

"Master Jun, go up, please." On the other side, a gray-haired old man saw many soldiers jumping into the river desperately, and immediately knelt on the ground, crying with tears in his nose.

For decades, he had never seen a soldier do this, and he heard from the Liaodong Army next to him that the first person to jump down was Liu Jun, the marshal of the army and navy of the Liaodong Army, and the generalissimo in charge of more than 200,000 people.

The other side of the river suddenly cried.

The overwhelming cries did not affect the flow of people who were still moving slowly, and finally, after hundreds of people jumped down the river, people finally docked to the opposite side.

"The brothers in front, shoulder together, build a human bridge for Lao Tzu, and the brothers in the back support Lao Tzu." Liu Jun saw that everyone had reached the gap, and immediately reached out and pulled up a soldier opposite, his arms tightly wrapped together.

"Bring the plank to Lao Tzu."

Brushes, planks were quickly placed on the piers made of man.

See it's all over. Liu Jun tore his throat: "Let the people on the other side hurry up and cross the river." ”

The people on the shore cried even more when they saw all this, they never thought that a soldier would jump into the river for himself and do such a thing that only a lover can do.

"Dashuai, you are a good person." The old man was lifted up by the soldiers of the Liaodong Army and carried on his back, and quickly came to the position where the bridge had already been built.

"Look, get over there." Liu Jun saw the soldier who was carrying the old man looking at him with tears on his face, and immediately scolded. ”

A ruthless heart. The soldier wiped away tears. Picked up the old man and stepped on the plank,

The plank was not as stable as just now, and it was still a little shaky, but these people knew that this bridge was not ordinary, it was built by the Liaodong soldiers and the Qing army with their own bodies.

No one stays here, adults and children, all hope to stay less than these five meters and quickly reach the pontoon bridge on the opposite side.

An hour later, when the last civilians were safely evacuated, Liu Juncai nodded with satisfaction and began to order the soldiers in the water to retreat.

For an hour, Liu Jun carried a plank on his shoulders for an hour, and it was already painful and couldn't hurt anymore, but he still didn't say anything, and he only climbed onto the pontoon bridge until the last soldier went up.

"Why are you still standing, so people retreat, retreat." After Liu Jun finished scolding, he began to run like crazy to the high place.

The Pingyuan went upstream, and it was only an hour at the top. With the bombardment time, it was only an hour and a half, and now, I am afraid that the rolling flood has been rushing here like thousands of horses.

Calling for ......, Liu Jun, who ran to the mountain, sat on the mountain soaking wet, looking at everything around him.

Hahaha, seeing everyone here, Liu Jun smiled, even if the flood is coming now, he is not afraid.

Head, the flood is coming. The rumbling sound in the distance made Zhong Lin, who was sitting on the ground panting, suddenly get up.

Liu Jun was so tired that he couldn't stand up, and he was not in the mood to see that the people were rescued, and that was the best result.

Even so, he still saw that the rolling flood came, and the pontoon bridge was washed away at once, and in less than half an hour, the opposite bank was completely submerged.

"Dashuai, the people want to see you." The head of the regiment walked over and said loudly.

People, when Liu Jun heard these words, how tired he was, he also had to get up. Without the people, there is no self.

Standing up slowly, he saw that the people were walking towards him under the leadership of an old man, but they were stopped outside by the guards.

Liu Jun did not scold these guards, it was the duty of the guards. He didn't have any reason to scold.

Slowly came to the people's side, and before they could speak, those people suddenly knelt on the ground and began to be grateful to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun panicked all of a sudden, he did this just to prevent the people from being threatened by their lives, but he didn't expect that he would be kneeled by these thousands of people.

Liu Jun didn't know that these people were even more excited after knowing that Liu Jun had personally built a bridge for himself.

In their eyes, they were a pariah, and they just died, but they didn't expect to be taken so seriously. Such a great protection.

Taking a deep breath and understanding everything the situation, Liu Jun didn't know what to say, so he could only let everyone stand up and watch the rolling flood pass by.
