On the banks of the Yellow River, the crying is earth-shattering!

The flagmen and nobles who completely gave up their dignity and dignity, one by one, like crazy fighting cocks, rolled up their arms and sleeves to go into battle in person, and you tried to get the first step on the narrow pontoon bridge!

In two years, the Qing court ran a huge retreat plan, preparing pontoon bridges in two directions over the Yellow River. A month ago, when they had decided to escape, they ordered someone to rush to the place in advance, and quickly drove the long-prepared wooden boat over the side of the ferry, and laid the bridge deck.

The Yellow River in the south of Baotou Village is between the front and back sets, the river surface is wide and flat, the widest point can be three kilometers, and there are a large number of sandbanks dotted around during the dry season. The water is slow, and it has always been an important port for north-south traffic.

The pontoon bridge specially reinforced by the Qing court can carry the latest load-bearing carriages, but the two behemoths driven by Lianggong Luan can't get through it even if they die.

There is only one pontoon bridge, but there are more than 100,000 people who want to go there!

Although the width of the bridge deck is enough to accommodate two carriages in parallel, whoever wants to do that will definitely block the bridge completely.

When it is put in order, no matter how many people can always pass smoothly. But now the shells are exploding in the back, the cavalry is running wildly between the Hanhai grasslands, the guns are like bursting beans, and the shouts ↖ of killing are earth-shattering! After fleeing for dozens of kilometers, the princes, ministers, and nobles of the Eight Banners have long been frightened, who still has the leisure time to pay attention to decency?

Tie Liang led the soldiers of the Wuwei Zhongjun to maintain order at both ends of the ferry and direct the traffic. The flag men wielded blue and white sticks and shouted at the crowd to cross the bridge in order. Rong Lu and the two palace Luan escorts who arrived first were not bad, and more than 1,000 horses and vehicles in front of them went up the bridge in an orderly manner.

Finally, it was Luan's turn. This has to be moved to a much smaller cart. It's just a delayed effort. Countless people and horses poured in behind him. With the noise of crying dad and shouting mother, rush into the ferry!

The Ouchi guards and elite soldiers who were in charge of the guard hurriedly stepped forward to stop them from colliding with Luan. The bannermen and minions are still relatively obedient, and two or three hundred years of slavery have completely left them with no concept of opposing their masters. But the nobles with status don't care about that set, the 100th red belt and yellow belt all kinds of twists and turns are related to the royal relatives and relatives, and they rumbling around, scolding their heads and covering their faces!

"Fuck off! It's all at the critical juncture, and everyone takes care of everyone! What's wrong with Luan. Aren't they all born from one ancestor? Get up and open, don't you damn delay your work! ”

There was a commotion, and I rushed in a mess!

Of course, the guards refused to do it, and each drew his saber for routine deterrence, but unexpectedly, a few shots came over from the crowd, and they were knocked down several times! Then someone shouted at the top of his voice: "What the hell are you waiting for?" The artillery of the Yang bandits is about to bombard, and whoever waits by the river will die! Run over and you'll be alive! ”

"Boom!"

The crowd was as agitated as if it had blown up a hornet's nest, and thousands of people behind rushed forward, and the yellow and red bands in front of them slashed their hands and dragged away the guards, pulling their legs and rushing through the blockade. Straight to the bridge!

The flag-bearers who were constantly swarming from all directions quickly gathered around the periphery, forming a semi-circular encirclement that was getting bigger and bigger. Thousands of carts outside were full of people and things. The horses spitted foaming at the white foam and squeezed into the middle, and the layers of power seemed to be able to conduct and superimpose, setting off waves of Taoists and people, and quickly spread to the inner layer!

The crowd is surging like the Yellow River bursting! Screaming, shouting, scolding, and crying were mixed together, and countless figures were squeezed together in an unprecedented density, people were next to each other, cars were leaning on the carts, and mules and horses looked at each other, like stones swept by a torrent, and they collided endlessly regardless of posture!

The group of people led by them were all young and strong, and they also had a large number of powerful family children and slaves around them, and everyone rushed in side by side, and suddenly the two palace teams in front of them were scattered!

The eunuchs shouted at the throat of the male duck, the guards and commanders shouted angrily and it was useless, and the palace ladies and concubines were so panicked that they were almost wetting their crotch! Looking back at the crowd that was gathering more and more, a bunch of bastard minions who rushed over with their teeth and claws, no one thought that they could still hold down the position with their identity.

They drove the carriage hoarsely and rushed forward, and the buffer space that was originally separated by a few meters from each other was squeezed to infinitely close to zero! Some vehicles with little strength could not resist the collision of the truck, and slid crookedly to the edge of the pontoon, and fell into the Yellow River without paying attention!

Tie Liang personally commanded on the side of Luan's driver, and together with the soldiers, he was squeezed backwards and retreated dozens of meters away, almost trampled into pulp!

They played with their lives to build a wall with their bodies, barely allowing the screams to be impacted, but they also compressed the space vacated by Luan. Seeing that the pontoon bridge was occupied by a large group of unscrupulous Eight Banners relatives and nobles, the people and chariots and horses rushed up in a chaotic manner, but they ran out less than a hundred meters away, and they were blocked. The back pushed forward, and the front fought with each other, from tearing with bare hands to each automatic knife and gun, it only took a few minutes.

I saw a burst of gunfire suddenly erupt on the pontoon bridge, and the screams of the people who were shot sounded particularly terrible! The winner's side unceremoniously pushed the car blocking the road into the river, spitting and scolding and scolding and continued to rush forward!

Cixi didn't know when she got out of the car, stood on the high stool of the emperor in front of her, looked at the ferry like a pot with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "Grab it!" All use the strength of the milk to grab! I think that the ancestors were so crazy back then, and they used hundreds of thousands of people to get thousands of miles! Today, the number of qi is exhausted, and the descendants have the same inexhaustible strength to fight for a way to escape for their lives. Hmph, that's interesting. ”

Can this be described as "interesting"?

Tie Liang listened really well on the side, and he felt that the cheeks were like a few slaps, hot and uncomfortable!

The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and Lafayette even said such words as "the gas is exhausted", which shows that he has been angry to the extreme. When the Qing Dynasty reached the critical moment of life and death, did not have a loyal and filial son stand up to turn the tide and let the situation go on like this?

"Nope! It must not be so! ”

Tieliang Gaba clenched his fists, took out a pistol from his waist with his backhand, and shouted at the guards and guards next to him: "Don't be stupid." All take up arms. Bullets are loaded. Go with the official and open the passage! ”

"Huh?! This...... Will it work? ”

When the guards saw that he was going to make a real move, they couldn't help but hesitate. They can all see it clearly, the most fierce people on the other side are all relatives of the emperor! The fierce people who kill people on the street on weekdays don't have to pay for their lives, and the emperor's orders are not necessarily good, how can they listen to the orders of our group of minions?

Tie Liang's eyes were bloodshot, and he slapped them fiercely, and scolded: "What are you afraid of? Something went wrong. I've got you covered! Lafayette and the emperor are behind us, which one is light and which one is heavy, do you still need to think about it? Above! ”

He took the lead and strode over.

A few minions from the prince's mansion, who didn't know which one it was, dragged a full cart together bare-chested and squeezed over, brutally overturning a carriage pulling people in front of them, regardless of the miserable crying of the women and children inside, shouting and continuing to rush forward.

Tie Liang flashed in front of him and shouted, "Stop!" Don't go any further! ”

One of the minions wrinkled his eyebrows and glared, "Who the hell are you!?" Look clearly, which master's flag is this and then speak! Open and open. Get out of the way! ”

As he spoke, he reached over to pull Tie Liang's collar open.

Tie Liang's two short eyebrows twisted in the middle. The corners of the flesh's mouth were pulled down, and a terrifying cold light flashed in the triangular eyes! He raised his left hand like a whip and pulled away the man's arm, and the gun in his right hand suddenly went straight against his sweaty head, and a line on his cheek tensed outward, and he pulled the trigger violently!

"Bang!"

The minion's head was like a fried egg, and he opened a hole the size of a wine cup from behind, spewing out some yellow and white, and drenching the heads and faces of the bunch of people behind him!

The dead body of the minion fell backwards with an expression of disbelief, and its accomplices were shocked to the head, staring at Tie Liang with their eyes and stunned on the spot!

Surrounded by the cart in the middle, the noble master was anxious, opened the curtain and stretched out his head, and shouted and scolded: "Tie Liang! Are you fucking crazy?! You dare to kill my minions, who gave you the guts?! The little ones, together, give the master to put him on the side! I'd like to see how many you can slaughter! Damn, it's amazing to have a broken gun in your hand, right? ”

The dog fights the human power, and a group of minions glanced at the gun in Tie Liang's hand, and also felt that it was impossible for the other party to continue to kill people. The law does not blame the public, so many people rushed over, it was like a flood bursting its banks, and whoever stood in front of it was looking for death!

More than a dozen people shouted at each other to strengthen their courage, avoiding the corpses and pounced on them as soon as they roared!

Tie Liang retreated and moved out of the way, as if to avoid the surging crowd of sieges. The minions thought they had a plan, and the impact became more and more vigorous.

At this moment, suddenly Tie Liang took a big step to get out of the way, flashed to the side of the overturned car, raised his gun again, and shouted: "All attention, listen to my orders!" Whoever dares to cross this car, kill! ”

The minions who rushed over didn't understand, but they saw the guards and soldiers in yellow coats on the opposite side, and they all raised their guns and aimed at them. However, they had a preconceived idea, and felt that Tie Liang was bluffing, destroying the master behind him, and immediately threw a little timidity out of the clouds!

"Don't be afraid! They didn't dare to shoot! Where are those nobles behind us! There is also a chariot in the palace in front of him, who dares to mess around ....... Rush! Rush over! ”

The crowd pounced forward, and Tie Liang waved down with his left hand: "Shoot!" ”

"Bang! Bang bang ......! ”

A burst of gunfire rang out suddenly, and the sturdy minions who rushed to the front overturned in response! Dozens of rifles and pistols were mixed shots, and at a distance of less than ten meters, many high-powered bullets had a penetrating effect, knocking over the piles of people behind them!

The noble master in the cart had one ear broken by a stray bullet, and the ghost cried wolf howl in pain, and did not forget to point at Tie Liang and scold: "The little bastard of the Murcha clan!" You dare to shoot the master, you wait for ......! ”

Before he could finish shouting, Tie Liang raised his hand and shot the minion next to him to death, stared at him coldly and shouted, "I'll count three times and get out of the way immediately." Otherwise, there will be no mercy! One! Two! ”

Repeated gunshots, sudden volleys, and bloody scenes that killed more than a dozen people at once, suppressed the others. The noisy crowd within a radius of dozens of meters stopped shouting and fighting, and each stared at it. Unexpectedly, I found that the soldiers and horses of the court actually shot at their own people. Suddenly opened his mouth wide in surprise!

Tieliang's countdown. There were only a few seconds in between, and the first sound of going out caused a panic in the crowd. Many of the people at the front were busy shrinking back, but they were all too sturdy, and there was not much room for anyone to move. The periphery didn't know it, and they were still struggling to rush in, and the two sides worked hard together, and when they landed, they pressed a large area of people in the middle into pea paste!

The unlucky nobleman was frightened! He clutched his bloody head. "Crazy! It's insane! Even the master dared to fight ....... Retreat, fucking retreat! That's going to shoot the shit! ”

In the face of real guns and more than a dozen lives, any guts are vain. The crowd congested to the pontoon bridge stopped for a short time, and the thousands of people in front were afraid of being killed on the spot, so they could only carry it back desperately and not push it over.

Tie Liang immediately saw this opportunity, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to line up the vehicles in front of them, regardless of whose they belonged to them, and they were all stacked in three or four layers on top of each other, so that even if the horses came over, they couldn't rush.

Cixi applauded softly. Praise: "Well played! ”

Tie conscience was hot, and hurriedly went over and bowed down: "Lafayette." Please also exchange cars with the emperor, there will be more people later, and the minions can't guarantee that they can still be suppressed! ”

Cixi nodded, flicked the handkerchief in her hand, Li Lianying leaned over to support her, slowly got off the chariot, and the two-wheeled driver next to her picked them up, and then ran quickly towards the chaotic pontoon bridge.

Tie Liang trotted to accompany him, while directing his soldiers to unceremoniously push the cars that stood in the way into the river. The more than 100 meters that were blocked could have rushed through in a minute in normal times, but now there are more than 1,000 people and dozens of cars crammed on it, as well as dozens of mules and horses!

The soldiers on the opposite side took the initiative to catch up, and finally opened the passage with a pull, driving the bare-handed sassy girls of the crowd to run to the opposite side. Whoever is reluctant to have the money in the car pushes the river with the cart to feed the fish.

Tie Liang escorted Luan to finally rush through that section, and looked back in his busy schedule, the other two palace honor guards only followed, and they barely got on the bridge, and the spearmen behind him retracted it, and the order was chaotic again! The people in the front row finally couldn't bear the constant squeezing in the back, and the rumbling like a wall collapsed and the house collapsed, and they were squeezed apart!

Many of those who were inflexible in their legs and feet were squeezed down on the spot, stepped on the soles of their feet, and were crushed by the wheels. Screams, roars, shouts, wrapped up in a ball!

The madness of tens of millions of people is simply something that can be controlled without a gun. Tie Liang looked sweaty, and he was glad in his heart, if he hadn't made a decisive move just now, and delayed for so long, I am afraid that he would have been exhausted and would not be able to return to the sky!

The idea of rejoicing came together, and I saw a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rise in the distance, and several clear explosions came! In the surging waves of people, as if a big bomb had been dropped, thousands of people shouted in terror and rushed forward together!

At the head of the pontoon, the hundreds of soldiers who maintained order did not wait for a reaction, and were drowned by the frantic crowd! Countless people don't want any vehicles to salute, they can't wait to give birth to four legs, run forward with their lives, and catch up with the end of the honor guard in a blink of an eye!

The rest of the people couldn't squeeze in at all, and they jumped directly into the river with a hula. The river on the edge of the ferry was not deep, and they ran with their dogs and tried their best to swim forward along the pontoon!

Some of the clever ones untied the pack horses with their swords, and rushed into the river with their necks around them, trying to swim forward. In the blink of an eye, the river surface of the hundreds of meters wide with the bridge head as the center was crowded with crowds!

The specially reinforced pontoon bridge was struck and trampled by thousands of people, making it creak and rattle. Tie Conscience knew something was wrong, and shouted at the guards behind him: "Destroy the bridge!" Removed the bridge in the middle! ”

You can't let the people behind rush up again! Otherwise, if you don't wait for Luan to drive over, you may be crushed by these people!

The guards, all armed with waist knives, drew out their swords and swung wildly, chopping the bridge slabs and tearing them down into the river. In the blink of an eye, a section five or six meters long was demolished. Unless you hold on to the rope and move slowly, you won't be able to get over it at all!

The flagmen who had rushed to the vicinity let out a desperate curse, and those who couldn't hold back were squeezed into the river by the people behind, plopping and struggling to the death! However, they were all landlubbers, and soon they were all watered and half dead.

Tie Liang's heart was as if he was tied to death, and the uncomfortable energy was gone. He didn't want to see such precious compatriots of the bannermen die, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only let them make sacrifices!

Turning his head, he forced himself to concentrate on Luan's head, and shouted at everyone to run forward. He knew in his heart that those people who were completely panicked and desperate behind him would never think of repairing the bridge and coming back, they were more likely to directly destroy the iron cable and let the big guy be finished!

The roaring sound of cannons was like a soul-chasing knife poking at the back, so that the people on the bridge could only run forward with one mind. Seeing that Luan's guard of honor was about to arrive at the bridge, Tie Liang had just put down his heart that had been lifting all the way, and suddenly a terrible howling sound filled his ears! The next moment, more than a dozen explosive fireworks suddenly exploded from the bridge!

The soldiers of the Wuwei Zhongjun who gathered there to maintain order, as well as some people who didn't have time to run away, were swept in by the raging explosion, and there were 100 dead and wounded in an instant!

Tie Liang's head buzzed suddenly, and only one thought echoed in his heart: "It's over!" The enemy has already slain! ”

A few seconds later, a storm of shells swarmed in! Hundreds of explosions set off wind and waves in the narrow ferry port one after another, and the muddy fireworks and flying shrapnel blew up the pontoon bridge in an instant, and the thousands of people there were swept into a crazy hell!

In the distance, the small city of Baotou was easily captured by the suddenly killed infantry regiment of the revolutionary army, and the artillery of the 16th Division, which quietly lay down, first blew up the pontoon bridge with a burst of bombardment, and then the infantry dispatched to wrap the flag man who crossed the bridge in a pot!

The vast majority of the banner men were blocked on the south bank of the Yellow River, trampling and crushing the water themselves, killing and injuring tens of thousands.

The two palaces of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Baoqing Emperor were isolated in the middle of the broken pontoon bridge. Startled by the explosion, she got out of the carriage and looked into the distance and muttered, "It's all providence!" ”

Suddenly, he hugged the terrified little emperor and jumped into the rolling Yellow River! (To be continued......)
