"Don't look at it, you can't help them, let's save your life first." Liu Goat pulled Tang Cheng to the other side of the city with some annoyance, and from here he could already see the messy Xiaguan Wharf. More ropes were hanging from the city, and more people climbed up the city along the ropes, and at this time, Liu Goat was already planning how to get down from the other end of the city.

It is absolutely impossible to jump directly from the Rujiangmen that is more than ten meters away, and it is impossible to get back the two ropes that Jiujin got have been occupied by others, so Liu Goat must find another way to go down. At last a man who was more calculating than Liu Goat came to the top of the city, and they brought with them the tarpaulins used to cover the carriages of two of the trucks, and the ropes formed by the tarpaulins were cut with bayonets, rough but strong, enough for several people to climb down the city at the same time.

"Let's team up to protect the rope first, and then put it in, or none of us will be able to walk." In the face of more and more routs climbing the city, Liu Goat talked to the guys who climbed up to the city with tarpaulins. In the face of the three of them who are still fully armed, the routs who only care about their lives with their bare hands do not have an advantage at all, after Liu Goat consciously lowered his posture, the other party promised to flee with Liu Goat and them, and the order of going down to the city is spaced, one on their side, and one person on Liu Goat's side.

Relying on force and an incorruptible tongue, Liu Goat found a way to survive for himself and Tangcheng, but this does not mean that they are safe when they leave the city, because they are only out of the Rujiang Gate, and there is still a river across the opposite bank from the heavy army assembly. Jiujin and Tang Cheng, who got off the city first, have been squatting beside the rope until Liu Goat also came down, and the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, Tang Cheng really accepted Liu Goat in his heart and gave Liu Goat the same position as Xie Bo.

"Let's go, go to the riverside, fucking faster." Before Tang Cheng came back to his senses, Liu Goat, who jumped off the rope, had already passed by and ran towards the river, and he and Jiujin could only follow Liu Goat and chase after him. The riverside is not a safe place, and in Tang Cheng's view, the riverside seems to be even more miserable than the inside of the Rujiang Gate, where you can see refugees and routs with their families crying or scolding and drinking.

The sunrise river flowers are red like fire, and the river surface in Tang Cheng's sight is red at this moment, not only the river is red like fire, but also the Lang flowers on the river surface are also red, because it is blood at all, and the source of blood is the corpse floating on the river. The various units of the defenders who had withdrawn to the river before Liu Shanyang and Tang Cheng found that they had no ships to cross the river at all. The panicked rout, especially those who are more water-based, many of them just find a wooden plank and jump into the river.

In order to fight for a wooden table that could float people, for a wooden basin that could float on the water, the defeated soldiers in military uniforms tore each other on the river beach, forgetting that they were the brothers who had fought side by side with the Japanese army. Before they crossed the Rujiang Gate in Tangcheng, the river beach was already in chaos, and many scattered officers were no longer able to restrain their troops, and even many officers commanded their troops to snatch equipment to cross the river and seize the glimmer of life that could reach the north of the river.

For the sake of those weapons and things that can pass the general, the routers of the riverside have already scuffled together, or a small battle of a few people and a dozen people, or a scuffle of hundreds of people, until one of them has the object of the fight. But whether it is the winning side or the losing side, after every battle, there will always be some bloody guys or a few corpses, and some of the corpses Tang Cheng saw were wearing military uniforms.

Even more desperate than the panicked soldiers were the common people, some dragging their children and daughters, some even carrying poultry and livestock, and when they reached the bank of the river, they were desperate: even the soldiers could not cross the river, and who would take care of them. From time to time, I would see a few adults and a group of children standing there with tears in their eyes, and when they fled, they all carried the small ones with small ones and dragged the big ones to escape, but their flat baskets were snatched away by those in military uniforms, and they could not even bring so many children home.

The bleak river water "crosses" the riverbank, and the sound is like scraping bones under the ensemble of the north wind, which makes people feel sick when they listen to it, and the people who drag their children and daughters stand in a big phalanx along the riverside and shrink in the cold wind. Refugees in a dilemma huddle together, watching the embarrassed rout fighting and entanglement along the river, watching the people they had relied on as protection snatching their livestock and barbecuing them on the spot, and they couldn't see the direction, the way to live, and the tomorrow.

Naturally, there were boats on the riverside, and there were six large ferries parked on the shore, but they were stopped by a large group of soldiers with loaded guns, and not a single ordinary person was allowed to get on them. These ferries were intended for use by the Central Teaching Corps and the 36th Division that had retreated from Yifengmen and Rujiangmen. These ferries, which did not drag any wooden rafts, only took more than 40 minutes to reach the other side of the Yangtze River, and everyone knew at a glance that the road was the safest means of transport, and whenever a military force arrived at the ferry, it would cause panic among the people; They are all speculating that when these ferries leave, there may never be a ship from Jiangbei again.

The defeated soldiers and refugees, who had lost hope for this, tied large pieces of wood into rafts, and then called friends and dragged their families to climb onto the rafts and cross the river on their own. The rudimentary wooden rafts were all crowded with people, and the wooden drains were pressed to almost the same amount of water, and every Lang head would wet the rafts as if everyone were sitting on water. Those who were together would tie the whole family together with clothes and ropes, and the thickest people would be tied to wooden rafts.

The luckier rafts would be connected to the ferry with long ropes and rely on the power of the ferry to cross the river, while the lucky rafts had to row across the river by manpower. Many strangers who were not related to each other followed suit and were equally fortunate to have the opportunity to cross the river, but the number of rafts was relatively limited, and there were more helpless people waiting anxiously on the shore. Each wooden raft offshores made them more and more anxious, but also excited about a small step forward; Their helplessness and hesitation on the cold riverbank are even colder.

"It's a fight" Tang Cheng, who followed Liu Goat to the riverbank, was suddenly shocked by the sound of fierce battle that suddenly broke out behind him, in fact, not only Tang Cheng, but also those routs who climbed down from the Rujiang Gate could hear that the direction of the gunfire was the Rujiang Gate guarded by the 36th Division, and it was also the Rujiang Gate that they had just climbed. A great battle was raging at Rujiangmen, and the troops of the 36th Division were desperately trying to intercept the attackers, attacking them by almost all the routed troops who had broken through the outer defense and had broken into the city and joined the defending troops.

Before life and death, all the defeated soldiers who were intercepted by the 36th Division in the Rujiang Gate chose to live, not so much that the 36th Division was obeying the orders of the garrison headquarters to guard the Rujiang Gate, but that they were cutting off the hope of life of all the soldiers of the national army in the city. Therefore, after the commotion at Rujiangmen, after the troops guarding Rujiangmen of the 36th Division fired in a panic, the routs of the various units that they blocked under Rujiangmen suddenly launched an attack on them, and these routs tried to break through Rujiangmen and reach the river.

On the one hand, they are fighting for the power of life, and on the other hand, they are fighting for the power of life, and on the other hand, they are holding the city gate according to the orders of the above, and without the order of the commander, how can the routs fire their guns at their robes? Without the commander's order, how could the 36th Division block the city gate and force its brothers in Pao Ze to fight to the death with the devils? Tang Shengzhi gave the order for all units to retreat before crossing the river, but he did not revoke the order of the 36th Division stationed at the Rujiang Gate to block the city gate and prevent anyone from retreating.

In the face of the machine-gun fire of the 36th Division's troops under the Rujiang Gate, the rout coalition even dispatched a few tanks, which were originally intended to act as mobile fortresses and counter-charge arrows in street battles, but instead of aiming their cannons at the devils, they were rushing towards the 36th Division. While the Japanese army was swarming in various city gates, the Chinese soldiers at Rujiang Gate were fighting each other, and they were ready to fight their way out of the blockade of their robes to win the power of life.

The defeated soldiers and civilians in the Rujiang Gate did not know what to do, and at the place where they were preparing to cross the river, all the ferries that could be collected had already been reduced to ashes in the raging fire. One of Tang Shengzhi's orders was to burn all the ferries and not allow a single soldier or civilian to cross the river, because when he was the commander of Nanjing's city defense, he said that he would swear to live and die together in Nanjing. It is a pity that Tang Shengzhi had already crossed the river first, he deceived the people of the whole of Nanjing and all the Nationalist troops stationed in Nanjing, and he also ordered the burning of almost all the ferries.

Tang Shengzhi's order to retreat was issued in a hurry after he was printed and before he left, and many of the national troops blocked by the 36th Division in the Rujiang Gate were dispersed after learning that Commander Tang had fled, and they were not ordered to retreat. There are also some people who have been intercepted by the devils when they receive the order to retreat because the troops behind them have been ordered to retreat first, and these defeated soldiers who have worked hard to rush to Rujiangmen are full of resentment after being deceived and abandoned. In the face of the unreasonable blockade of the 36th Division, they were angry and could only fight back on the spot to win a way out for themselves.

"Don't look at it, go quickly, and then think of other ways to cross the river when you get to the river." Tang Cheng, who was standing and looking at the Rujiang Gate, was kicked by Liu Goat vigorously, and then he came back to his senses and followed Liu Goat to the chaotic riverside in a panic. The sound of cannons like thunder disturbed the city of Nanjing, and soldiers and civilians could be seen marching north on all streets, because they all knew that the only way to escape from Nanjing was to cross the Yangtze River in the north.
