Like the wind, the horses whip and whip out of the Wei Bridge.

"Six Songs No. 4"
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
—I am the dividing line —
In the north of Chang'an City under the curtain of night, the sound of horses hoofs and the clashing of guns rang out almost all night. After dawn, only a few hundred riders escorted the last few carts to the unoccupied Dongwei Bridge (currently 2.6 kilometers from the south bank of the Weihe River in Baijiazui Village, Geng Town, Gaoling County, Shaanxi Province).
Even the people and horses were sweaty as if they were fished out of the water, and they were stained with the dust that rolled up all the way, as if they were rolling out of a mud puddle. Just before and after the view of the Dongwei Bridge, someone else stumbled and fell to the ground.
After all, most of them are not really well-trained armored riders; although Zheng Tian tried his best to equip them with the best armor and mounts before leaving, they encountered repeated encounters along the Weishui River after running overnight. Under the enemy's thrust from left to right, it is inevitable that the damage will be severe.
Even if these people are left, they are both tired and tired. The saddles are basically sloppy but missing many parts, which are discarded as burdens after rushing out several times. Because they miscalculated the opponent they were facing from the beginning.
The thief cavalrymen who continue to converge from the east and west of the city have no plans to fight directly with them or directly face the impact of the armor; they are just like swarms of bees, roaming these armors. Sakon kept firing firearms for entanglement and harassment;
Although it was not able to cause enough casualties, the fugitive army, biting like a mosquito, was troubled by it. Then had to divide the troops many times to stay to drive and suppress it; to create opportunities for the remaining core team to break away.
Therefore, the pawns of the gods who followed closely, were in constant entanglement and chaos with the thief army, and they parted ways or lost contact with each other. But in any case, the backward pawns or the scattered carts are one of the costs expected to highlight the encirclement of the thieves.
It is only in contrast to the Xiwei Bridge which has been cut off and occupied, or the Zhongwei Bridge where thief troops have begun to appear nearby; the Dongwei Bridge and its attached Weiqiao warehouse are the end of the waterway after the Guandong water transport enters the customs. Inside the building, there is no one guarded at all.
But the remaining cavalry still didn't care much, and even the outposts and guards didn't have time to dispatch them, so they just rushed across the bridge with the last few carriages in a hurry.
However, the large cars crowded around the front and back, which can pass most of the bridge deck, suddenly change suddenly. There was a loud noise, and a large cloud of smoke rose on the plank deck that suddenly exploded; and this Dongwei Bridge, built since the seventh year of Kaiyuan to the present, collapsed in the middle of the bridge.
And the horse-drawn carriage and the accompanying knight who were instantly swallowed by fireworks shots were lifted up on the spot and fell heavily into the billowing river. With the collapsed bridge deck, two other carriages and a dozen knights who could not dodge were dumped and rolled down into the river.
At this time, the originally silent Weiqiao Cang also suddenly waved its flag and shouted for killing, and under the combination of firecrackers and arrows, many ambushes came out. Suddenly, most of the armored horses who had not crossed the river were left in shock. They were also shivering and turned their heads and disappeared.
After a while, holding the cruising group Yuhou Wang Yanfu with thorns, he led people to surround the remaining four horse-drawn carriages that had been abandoned and rushed down the river bank in a panic. And this is what he can achieve the most under this bluffing adventure ambush.
Wang Yanhe was responsible for leading a group of engineers to escort a group of engineers. They went out to Dongwei Bridge to conduct corresponding surveys and assessments. However, he did not expect that they would run into the Weiqiao warehouse here and collide with the team that escaped from Chang'an City. fish".
Therefore, the layout of the bridge bombing that was initially completed before has become their unexpected hidden hands. But what was even more unbearable than they expected was these enemy horses. They clearly had a lot of power to fight, but they were defeated without hesitation when they were attacked.
It was just that as these Taiping soldiers approached, one of the wheels was sunk in the carriage on the river beach, and several figures suddenly jumped out and fleeing towards the distance, but they had not been able to escape far because of their deep legs and feet. Exhaustion slowed down in the mud and sand.
Then, the soldiers chasing the past were knocked down one by one from behind and tied up; only one fish that slipped through the net went deeper and deeper beyond the river beach, and finally plunged into the turbid current, half-sinking and half-floating washed away. went.
"stop!!"
Afterwards, a gray-haired head was also exposed on another carriage, and he shouted with exhaustion at the peace soldier who heard the movement and the spear was about to stab:
"I am the third grade of the same Zhongshumen, Sanqi Changshi, and the Shangshu Wang Junlang of the Ministry of Rites... Wu, the thief, even if you take me away, don't hurt others..."
Then, the young man of the Ministry of War, begging for benevolence and benevolence, was pushed to the ground by the soldiers of the peace, and while the women and children who were dragged out of the carts cried and cried, they tied a large mule. The back.
However, after the remaining sergeants searched for the third carriage, they couldn’t help but turn their faces to reveal an indescribable color; among the curtains that were provoked, one could see a family in beautiful robes but layered together to death. .
And the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the corpse in a light purple satin, pierced his chest with a dagger, but he didn't immediately die; while his eyes were diffusive, his expression was distorted and weird facing the visitor. What muttered to myself:
"...Dugu's family is a family member...There must be no humiliation and thieves..."
But when Wang Yanfu found the last carriage, he could not help but step back several steps at the moment when he lifted the curtain with a bludgeon. This Yu made the other soldiers vigilant and guarded, and without hesitation, they took up firearms, swords and spears to attack the carriage.
"Hold on..."
However, the next moment was stopped by Wang Yanfu: afterwards, he personally waved a horizontal knife to cut the curtain, and the silk curtain that fell along with the falling, suddenly revealed several frightened quails in the inside. The figure of the regiment came.
At that moment, almost all the soldiers I saw were a little stunned. Although these "people" in the car are all dressed in men's clothing, the charming and delicate qualities make people know at a glance that they are of superior origin and respect; and it is the kind of stunning color that makes people reluctant to turn their eyes at first glance. Shuli.
"It's so damn good-looking..."
"I don't know that men can seduce people like this."
"You blind old bustard, these are all women, women in menswear..."
"Ha, is this a girl?"
"What are you doing!!"
At the next moment, Wang Yanfu slowly calmed down his pounding heart, and took a deep breath and said decisively:
"Isn't it time to make room for a few mules and take back all the ones that are still alive?"
At the same time, at the south bank of the Zhongwei Bridge, dozens of miles away along the Wei River to the west. Under the restraint and harassment of the hordes of chasing troops gathered from all directions, the Shence Army infantry team, which had gone all the way and fought here, also squeezed the only bridge deck.
Under the divine strategy soldiers who kept coming from the rear and rushing to the bridgehead, they pushed forward, squeezed and trampled desperately; it was built in the Qin Dynasty and used to connect Xianyang Palace and South Bank Xingle Palace, known as Weishui The third bridge is the largest and 6 feet wide, 380 steps long from north to south, 750 columns, 212 beams, and 68 holes. The bridge is also overwhelmed and extremely tragic.
Under the crazily crowded crowd with many horses and vehicles, almost every step on the bridge, there are people who fall like dumplings from the edge of the squeezed and broken bridge; others are fighting for the road. It was knocked down, overthrown, and stepped on again, and blood was squeezed out of the bridge to flow down like a curtain.
Subsequently, more and more Taiping troops rushed to the side of the Zhongwei Bridge, and the sound of shouting and blasting was formed, which also aggravated the horror of this scene. And when a light-armed cannon accompanied by the riding regiment arrived nearby, and the first loud noise was emitted at the bridge, it was like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.
As the heavy artillery shot lost near the bridge, a large splash of water splashed like raindrops on the faces of the soldiers who were constantly squeezed across the bridge, and piled up on the bridge. It also seemed to blow up the nest, all kinds of frights and madness all scattered and escaped, and they jumped into the rolling river one after another.
And the soldiers of the gods who were still blocked on the bridge head were slashed and fought with each other as if they were stimulated; some even went straight down the river bank amidst howling and crying, and threw themselves into the river. They were trying to swim towards the other side; however, under the weight of their armor and robes, they could not swim very far after all, and disappeared into the rolling waves between ups and downs.
On the other side of the river, a small part of the divine strategy army, who was able to cross the bridge through desperate walking, drove away in the direction of Xianyang City without looking back. (End of this chapter)
