Chapter 38 Red Sun
The river channel in Taohuawu Town is not wide, but when the river workers who jumped off the river climbed ashore, they were all frozen all over. The cotton coat soaked in water was not only biting cold, but also extremely heavy. Even when they first got ashore, many people's hair was frozen straight in an instant.
However, these river workers did not hesitate at all, so they held up the shovel in their hands and rushed towards the officers and soldiers on the shore.
"Clash with me!"
"There is no way out if you don't rush!"
Xia Dajun was still rushing in front, and he knew that now was the time Lu Si said to be rushing to death!
Ren Laojiu knew very well that the stone bridge was too important to the officers and soldiers. As long as the stone bridge was guarded, no matter how many thieves in the river workers could come, the situation was still under his control, and reinforcements from other places could come by until dawn.
But if he loses the stone bridge, no matter how powerful he is, he will be unable to match his four legs with his fists. The Qingjiangpu River Man in the outside and the Shanyang County River Man in the inside will be a huge crowd of people, and he can even pile him up to death!
I don’t know what Wu Shen and others have done, so why haven’t they come to reinforce them yet!
Mr. Ren Qian, who thought the thief came over to give him military merits, finally panicked. In desperation, he shouted loudly: "Wanquan, take people to block them, and never let the thief approach the stone bridge!"
Wan Quan was Ren Laojiu's personal captain. After hearing Mr. Qian's shout, he hurriedly shouted and took dozens of soldiers to rush towards the thief who was getting ashore. Another officer named Zhou led his subordinates to the other side of the stone bridge to intercept the river workers who were getting ashore.
Hundreds of people were assigned to defend both sides at once, and the strength of the officers and soldiers on the stone bridge would definitely be weakened.
Cheng Lin, who had been leading the front with Lu Guangyuan, took advantage of the situation and encouraged him to rush forward again. However, the stone bridge was too narrow, and although they were large, they could not perform.
The people in contact with both sides are already hard to distinguish between enemies and us. Many people cannot even see clearly whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend. They only know how to chop and smash.
There are endless "splashing" waterfalls. There are river workers who take the initiative to go down the river, and there are also enemies and we who are hugging each other and falling into the water.
......
On both sides of the stone bridge.
Because of the cold and the coldness of the hands and feet, several river workers were numb, and before they could raise their "weapons" in their hands to resist, they were stabbed to the ground by the soldiers and rolled down the slope by the river.
There were still more than a dozen river workers, but they rolled down before the officers and soldiers approached. It was not that they were afraid of death, but that their feet were too slippery.
Xia Dajun almost slid down. Fortunately, he used a knife to support him in time, and his left leg suddenly kicked up and landed on the shore.
A spear-holding officer and soldier raising his spear and stabbed him. Xia Dajun instinctively rolled towards the officer and soldier on the ground.
The officers and soldiers failed to stab the enemy and hurriedly retreated because the spear in their hands could not stab the thief close to him. Before he could retreat, Xia Dajun swept across the ground with a knife.
Just chopping your legs!
The officer and soldier screamed, and felt that the foot bone could not be supported. He looked down and saw that the thief had been cut with a long knife at the base of his left foot.
After succeeding with one blow, Xia Dajun got up from the ground and led the river workers who were on the ashore to rush towards the officers and soldiers. However, the officers and soldiers were also very brave. The river workers were killed dozens of people in succession, and even the Xia army was almost hit by a knife and had to retreat in a mess.
However, the officers and soldiers were unable to drive the river workers back into the river.
More and more river workers bravely jumped into the river and swam to the other side of the river, and more and more river workers were rushing up from different places on the river bank, and the disadvantage of insufficient number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared.
The more and more companions rushed up, which also greatly encouraged the river workers who came ashore to fight with the officers and soldiers. They roared and rushed towards the officers and soldiers again.
Facing the river workers who rushed over desperately, looking at the densely swam heads in the river, Wanquan was so scared that he couldn't help but retreat.
The officer surnamed Zhou on the other side could not hold on and sent someone to ask for help from the Qiang General on the bridge.
Ren Laojiu would not have any soldiers to send them, unless the hundreds of people who suppressed Shanyang County were transferred here, but doing so would be like giving the back completely to those Shanyang County Hegongs who had also rebelled.
But if they did not reinforce the two sides, the river workers who came ashore would also disperse them. As a last resort, they had to order their subordinates to lead Li Yongsheng to reinforce the two sides.
The corpses on the stone bridge were almost half a person tall, and there was no way. Both the enemy and us had no time to clean up the corpses.
From a distance, it was like a group of people standing on a haystack fighting each other.
There are many corpses floating on the river below the bridge.
Guangyuan gritted his teeth and held on his right shoulder by the officers and soldiers' spears.
Cheng Lin was not injured, but his body was covered in blood.
If there weren't too many corpses on the ground, I was afraid that the officers and soldiers and river workers would have to slide into a whole lot.
"Still them to death, stab them to death!"
Ren Laojiu stood behind the team and waved his knife and shouted angrily.
The spears in the hands of the officers and soldiers stabbed towards the river workers in front of them like a forest. Some were taken back, while others could not.
Although the river workers were brave and numerous, they were always at a disadvantage because they lacked long weapons. The only hope now is that their companions in the river could launch attacks from both sides of the other shore and disrupt the official army guarding the bridge.
"Everything is dead, all dead..."
Not everyone who came from Qingjiangpu saw officers and soldiers killing people, nor did everyone experience bloody experiences.
Some river workers who ran away in honeycombs when the chaos started were frightened by the bloody killing in front of them. Their legs and feet were trembling and their bodies were chilling. They refused to move no matter how the people behind them shouted, until they were pushed to the ground by the people behind them and then trampled to death.
No one ran back, and everyone knew that there were also officers and soldiers behind and there were also fights.
To survive, you can only rush forward!
The river workers on the shore were still pouring water, just like the collapse of the mountain peaks on the riverside, making the waves of this small river in Taohuawu Town continue to stop, and the broken ice still.
There are too many people, so many that the river water will not flow.
"Kill officers and soldiers, kill officers and soldiers..."
The seriously injured and undead river workers looked desperately at the killing surroundings. They struggled to climb towards the officers and soldiers, but they could not climb.
There were even groans and moans from the pile of corpses. These were all people who were not dead but were piled down below. I don’t know whether they were officers and soldiers or river workers.
It was already dawn, and the blood-red sun in the east was slowly rising.
The fierce battle for more than half an hour exhausted everyone.
The officers and soldiers were tired and panicked, but when they saw the sun rise, they had no reason to have confidence.
The river workers did not give up. They were still bravely rushing, but some people were covered in shadows.
Even if they don’t want to believe it, they know that there will be more and more officers and soldiers after dawn.
Until, hundreds or thousands of people roared behind them: "Lu Wenzong is here! Lu Wenzong is here!"
The roar was like a magic sound, dispelling the shadows in the heart of Hegong, allowing the red sun in the east to truly bring warmth to the cold winter.
