Chapter 273: The Ferry Girl
The Zhao army besieged the city for a month, and after paying huge casualties, it finally broke through Liyang City, and killed the Zhao soldiers in the city, in addition to the excitement, began to take crazy revenge and vent.
The people in the city and the wounded soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly became the targets of Zhao Jun's venting, and their innocent heads were cut off alive.
Among them, women and children are the most miserable, most of them are brutally raped, disheveled and died on the streets, and children are tortured to death.
The entire Liyang City suddenly fell into hell, and the whole city was filled with shouts of killing and screaming.
As generals, Tao Leopard and Hou Ba saw that their subordinates were doing mischief, and did not stop them, but indulged their subordinates to commit violence at will, and in their eyes, the people of the Jin Kingdom were cattle and sheep for them to slaughter at will.
At the south gate of Liyang City, Peach Leopard led a thousand personal soldiers, and more than 100 cavalry of Houba met at the city gate, looking at the murderous Houba, Taobao thought in his heart, the first merit of breaking Liyang was already Houba's, if Houba was captured alive Han Qian, his face as a general of Pingnan would not look good.
"Hou Ba, you lead the troops to the West Gate, welcome the king into the city, and the pursuit of Han Qian will be handed over to the general, and there will inevitably be remnants of the Jin army in the city, and the safety of the king must be guaranteed." Peach Leopard's righteous words ordered.
"The last general commands." Hou Ba didn't think much about it, and ran towards the west gate of Liyang City.
There was a sneer at the corner of Peach Leopard's mouth, and he ordered: "The whole army is pursuing, and Han Qian must not be let go." After speaking, he led a thousand soldiers to the ferry more than ten miles away.
In the grove five miles away from the south gate of Liyang City, there were three thousand elite Dragon Teng guards in ambush, and they had already noticed it when the first batch of people fled from the city.
It's just that Shi Hu has already had a strict order, and all the ordinary people and soldiers in Liyang City will be allowed to escape from the city, and they must not expose themselves, and they can only rush out when they see Han Qian's Daxu or a large number of Jin troops rushing in.
The 1,000 remnants led by Han Qian, with their armor torn and flags gone, remained in Liyang City and were mixed with more than 10,000 people, so they successfully crossed the grove and ran towards the ferry.
Soon, Peach Leopard led his troops to the grove, and the ambush soldiers saw that Peach Leopard led the troops here, and understood that there would be no more Jin troops behind, so they combined their troops and ran towards the ferry.
At this time, more than 100 large and small ships were berthed at the ferry, but it was still far from enough to transport more than 10,000 fleeing people, and in order to save their lives, the fleeing people scrambled to climb onto the boats, fighting each other, and drowning in the water.
In this regard, the generals of the naval army in the northern camp of Jingbei were also helpless, but in any case, they also had to set aside a boat to transport Han Qian and other major generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
"General, you see, the fleet of the Jingbei camp is in front." Chen Xiong pointed to the boat at the ferry in front of him and said loudly.
Han Qian glanced up at the ferry and said with emotion: "I didn't expect it! Wouldn't it be sad that the general would have ended up fleeing for his life. ”
"General, don't say it, our army will definitely fight back, get on the ship!" Chen Xiong urged Han Qian to leave quickly.
"Kill...... Capture Han Qian alive, capture Han Qian alive. At this moment, the pursuing army of Zhao came over.
"The Hu people are coming, the Hu people are coming, run! Run! Seeing Zhao Jun chasing after him, the people were even more panicked, shouting and screaming one by one, jumping into the water, grabbing the edge of the boat, and trying to climb up.
In order to maintain order and prevent the boat from capsizing due to overloading and loss of center of gravity, the sailors had no choice but to pull out their weapons and slash the people who rushed onto the boats.
"General, it's the peach leopard who has killed it, hurry, get on the boat!" Chen Xiong urged.
"General, hurry up and get on the boat, the last general will escort the general across the river." The owner of the naval camp said, casually slashing and killing a civilian who climbed onto the boat at will.
Watching the soldiers of the navy slash and kill the people, as well as the fighting between the people, Han Qian's heart was extremely painful.
The army led by Peach Leopard was behind him, and Han Qian was powerless to resist, so he had to endure his heartache and walk towards the ship.
"Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you, grandpa......" An old man was knocked to the ground by the panicked crowd, and his granddaughter squatted beside him, calling out to his grandfather, her voice full of helplessness and despair.
Han Qian's heart was suddenly deeply pierced by this girl's voice, he stopped and looked back at this helpless girl.
"Her back is so familiar." Han Qian muttered to himself, and involuntarily walked over to the girl.
"General, general......" Seeing that Han Qian couldn't get on the boat, he walked towards a girl instead, Chen Xiong and the owner of the naval camp were in a hurry.
Han Qian walked to the girl's side regardless of a sigh and greeted softly, "Girl." ”
The girl sobbed, wiped her tears gently, looked back at Han Qian, and replied softly, "General." The voice was weak and helpless.
"It's you." The moment he saw the girl's appearance, Han Qian was completely stunned, and his eyes widened.
The girl in front of her was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face, and she looked almost exactly the same as the fisherman girl she met in the small fishing village back then, and even the tactful voice was the same.
At this time, Han Qian's thoughts returned to the beautiful small fishing village twenty years ago. The scene of the fisherman's girl looking at the decoction and helping him wipe the food residues from the corners of his mouth appeared in front of him again.
Thinking of these past events, Han Qian couldn't help but show a warm smile, but he completely ignored the enemy soldiers who were killing.
"General, the enemy has already been killed, we can't delay any longer, get on the ship!" Chen Xiong saw Han Qian smirking and urged anxiously.
Han Qian suddenly came back to his senses, he knew that the fisherman girl had been dead for many years, and the little girl in front of him just looked like her.
The fisherman girl died tragically under the Hu people's butcher's knife, and now, she can no longer let the girl in front of her become the soul of the Hu people's knife, Han Qian warned himself in his heart.
"Come, girl, help your grandfather to the boat." Han Qian gently picked up the grandfather and grandson and led them to the small boat that stopped at the ferry.
"The enemy general in front is Han Qian, catch him, don't let him run." Peach Leopard led the army to the ferry, and saw Han Qian at a glance.
"Kill ......." The soldiers of the Zhao army rushed to kill Han Qian.
At this time, the soldiers of the Zhao army had already killed less than thirty steps behind Han Qian, and Han Qian did not have enough time to board the boat safely.
"General, the enemy army has already been killed, the last general will lead troops to block them, the general hurry up and get on the boat." After Chen Xiong finished speaking, he pulled out his weapon, beckoned to the soldiers of the pro-soldier battalion beside him, and said, "Soldiers, follow me to block the enemy." ”
"Kill ......" Chen Xiong led less than 300 soldiers from the pro-military battalion beside him, shouting to kill the Zhao army who was pursuing.
Han Qian helped the grandfather and grandson to the side of the boat, and the sailor camp owner standing at the bow of the boat saw this, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull the grandfather and grandson onto the bow of the boat.
