Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 581
night.

The wind and snow did not stop.

Li Longji carried a phoenix chariot, followed by Yang Guozhong, and Sun Chengshan and his party, and arrived at a river behind Maweipo.

At this time, his grizzled beard and hair were dyed by the wind and snow, and his face was full of fatigue.

A pair of cloudy eyes were even more bloodshot.

Since Chang'an escaped.

Almost a day and a night, he did not rest.

Always in a state of panic.

If it weren't for the fact that he was considered a second-rate military general when he was young, if it were for the old body of other old people, he would have been tired on the road long ago.

However, now Li Longji has reached his limit.

"Your Majesty, as long as we cross the Qinghui River, we will be able to completely get rid of the rebel Anlu Mountain and reach Jiannan safely."

Yang Guozhong was pale, looking at the Qinghui River in front of him with the light of the torch, showing a hint of excitement.

They were finally able to escape An Lushan's pursuit.

As long as you cross the river and burn down the wooden bridge in front of you, Anlu Mountain can also look at the sheep and roar.

"An Lushan, damned traitor, I will make him pay a terrible price!" Speaking of An Lushan, Li Longji couldn't stop cursing.

The fact that the emperor fled to Chang'an will definitely be known by the people all over the world, and his majesty as an emperor will be gone.

It will even be ridiculed by the people of the world.

He will also become the first emperor to make the people laugh at him since the Tang Dynasty.

Despite the anger in his heart, Li Longji still knew that only by crossing the river as soon as possible could he get out of the crisis and pick up the majesty of the emperor.

So, looking at the Qinghui River in front of him, looking at the wooden bridge with three horses running side by side, he ordered, "Sun Chengshan, order a hundred soldiers to cross the river first to find a suitable camp and let the soldiers rest!"

Ten thousand dragon warriors and ten thousand cattle guards came out wearing only a pair of clothes and a cold armor. In the snowstorm, they were already shivering from the cold.

If you don't set up camp as soon as possible, light a fire to keep warm, and move on, less than half of the [-] soldiers of the two guards will survive.

"The minister takes orders."

Breathing out his hot breath, Sun Chengshan quickly called out a hundred thousand bull guards, stepped on the wooden bridge, and walked towards the other side of the river.

Seeing this, Li Longji said again, "After the hundred soldiers pass by, I, the imperial concubine and others will go first, and Sun Chengshan will command the soldiers to cross the river in turn."

"If An Lushan is chasing you, you can cross the river first, and the rest of the soldiers will join..."

"boom!"

"Crack!"

However, before Li Longji could finish speaking, the wooden bridge in front of him collapsed suddenly.

Dozens of soldiers and war horses who stepped on the wooden bridge fell into the river one by one, smashing the thin ice, splashing water splashes, and there were miserable and desperate panic sounds.

"No, no, save me, save me..."

"Oh my god, how could this bridge collapse, help..."

"It's so cold, we're dead, we're dead..."

Qian Niuwei, who fell into the water, sank before making a few thumps.

The icy cold water swallowed up his fatigued and chilled body in an instant.

There were only a dozen soldiers with good physical strength and water skills, and they rushed to the shore under the swimming of their horses.

"Qianniuwei, hurry up, save people!" Sun Chengshan yelled in horror.

My heart is colder than this snowstorm.

He knew that they had nowhere to go.

When An Lushan chases them down, they will all die.

"It's over, it's over, I can't escape..."

Yang Guozhong sat on the horse unbearably, and almost fell off the horse, murmuring helplessly.

"Could it be that God really wants to kill me, Li Tang Jiangshan!!" Li Longji was startled awake by Sun Chengshan's yelling, and looked at the dark sky with ashen face.

The bridge was broken, and they had to face the 20 rebels behind them.

Just when they are desperate.

A captain of the Longwu Army immediately stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty, we still have a chance, please don't give up, Your Majesty."

"What chance is there?" Li Longji asked hoarsely, "Do you think [-] soldiers can withstand the army of the rebel An Lushan?"

"Yes." The captain replied firmly, "There is only one road in front of Mawei Slope. As long as we can hold on to this road until tomorrow, we will be able to cross the Qinghui River."

"The bridge is broken, how can we cross the river!" Yang Guozhong yelled at the captain of the Longwu Army regardless of whether he overstepped or not.

"Your Majesty, you can pass." Without waiting for the lieutenant to answer, Sun Chengshan woke up in a start, and said hastily, "The wind and snow will not stop today, the temperature will definitely drop again and again, and the Qinghui River will be frozen overnight, forming a thick layer of ice , for us to cross the river."

"And there are so many troops on Mount Anlu, and the ice layer of the Qinghui River cannot bear the pressure of so many troops after being trampled by us."

"Then...can it be stopped?..." Li Longji heard a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and his voice trembled.

"For your majesty, if you can't stop it, you have to stop it!" Sun Chengshan didn't affirm it, because he was not sure, so he could only do his best.

It's better than doing nothing.

"Okay, Sun Aiqing is fully responsible for this matter, and I will sit in town for you on Mawei Slope!"

At this time, Li Longji had no choice but to hold on to the straw.

The decision was made now.

"I take orders!" Sun Chengshan bowed to accept the order.

Immediately afterwards, he straightened his back and shouted, "Qianniuwei left 100 people to protect His Majesty's safety, and the rest of the soldiers will follow the general to Maweipo to stop the enemy!"

"Decree!" The soldiers of Longwu Army and Qianniuwei shouted together.

He stepped back on the horse and stepped towards Mawei slope behind him.

A narrow road with steep rocks on both sides.

Less than an hour.

Sun Chengshan stood in front of the road, holding a Mo knife, staring straight ahead.

As for Li Longji, he also arrived at Mawei Slope, stood under a pear tree, and looked at a fire dragon in the distance.

The fist covered in the sleeve was tightly squeezed.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy here."

Yang Yuhuan brought Yang Guozhong and several elders to come behind Li Longji and put a purple cloak on him.

"My concubine, if I lose today, will you go with me..." Li Longji tilted his head slightly, his tone appearing sad.

"Wherever your Majesty goes, the ministers and concubines will go, whether it is Huangquan or Tiangong." Yang Yuhuan smiled sweetly.

Not much to say.

"Okay, I have no regrets." Li Longji also smiled.

It's a laugh that ends with a hero.

But this smile also completely angered the crown prince Li Heng behind him.

Looking at Yang Yuhuan, and Li Longji's eyes flickered coldly.

When is it now, this stupid gentleman still cares so much about Yang Yuhuan, he is indulging in her beauty, and he doesn't care about his prince at all.

Even if he said, "If I die, the crown prince will be the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Li Heng felt better.

However, Li Longji seemed to have forgotten him.

"Your Highness, this is not the time to get angry." San Mu, Li Heng's confidant, saw that his master was about to leave violently.

Hastily stretched out his hand, grabbed his arm, and said softly, "Let's wait and see what happens, and wait until Sun Chengshan can't resist the rebel An Lushan."
