As soon as Liu Wei led his troops to arrive at Ma Chao Ying, the earthquake came unexpectedly.
The earth-shattering sound startled Liu Wei, and he only heard the earth shaking and roaring.
The mountains in the distance are shaking and whistling, the majestic and steep city wall of Xiangyang is undulating and bumping, and the wide moat outside Xiangyang City is tumbling and rushing, as if it is boiling a pot.
"Lying down" Although he was a human being in two lives, this was the first time Liu Wei had personally experienced a major earthquake, and although he was already mentally prepared, he was still afraid when the sky suddenly collapsed.
Hurriedly jumped off his horse, using the experience he had learned in his previous life to beckon the soldiers to lie on the ground to avoid being injured by external forces.
The rumbling sound lasted for about three minutes, and it was like a meteor for a short time in the years of history, but in just a few minutes, it had already changed the color of the mountains and rivers, and the earth had changed its appearance.
The originally smooth and wide post road became intertwined, grinning like the bottom of a river that had been cracked after the valley had dried up; Tall trees on the side of the road staggered from side to side, cutting off the road.
Not far away, Xiangyang City was dark, the panicked and helpless shouts of the people, the heart-rending calls of children and daughters, and the neighing of horses and dogs after being frightened resounded in the sky, intertwined like purgatory on earth.
Before the crossing, Liu Wei often saw the head of state appear at the scene of the disaster to direct the rescue at the first time, but he did not expect that this day would also befall him.
There are 300,000 inhabitants in Xiangyang City, and the population size ranks among the top six in the entire Han Dynasty, and it was a devastating natural disaster before Liu Wei crossed, and the casualties were only counted in the hundreds of thousands.
Fortunately, the houses of this era were basically all tiled houses, and there were even some thatched houses, and only some liquor shops and official mansions had multi-storey buildings, which greatly reduced the number of deaths in the disaster.
After the most violent main earthquake passed, although there were still aftershocks that shook a few times from time to time, Liu Wei had already raised his sword and charged forward, and ordered loudly: "Light the torches and rescue the people in Xiangyang City" "Saving lives" More than 2,000 Imperial Forest soldiers shouted in unison, leaving a few people to guard the horses, and the others followed the Son of Heaven to step on the intertwined road and charge forward desperately.
Ma Chao and Long Jizheng each led 10,000 horses to assemble at the south gate of Xiangyang, ready to attack the city at any time, but they were also startled by the sudden earthquake, fortunately there was a wilderness around, not even trees, and they quickly settled down after the main earthquake passed.
Ma Chao was about to give the order to attack the city, and Liu Wei rushed over at this time.
"The two generals, Meng Qi and Long Ju, please change their strategy, focus on saving people, supplemented by attacking the city, and try to rescue all the people buried in the rubble" Liu Wei didn't stop even when he gave the order, and quickly passed by Ma Chao and Long He.
Ma Chao and Long He glanced at each other, and then waved their hands without hesitation: "All light up the torches, and the bow and crossbow battalion and the sword and shield battalion are responsible for charging and looking for the enemy."
The other ministries are responsible for saving people."
With Ma Chao's order, all the 20,000 soldiers outside the south gate of Xiangyang lit torches, like a star, illuminating the earth and Xiangyang City, so that the people in the city saw the light and the hope of living Xiangyang is surrounded by water on all sides, the moat outside the north gate and the east gate is turbulent, the widest place reaches more than 100 zhang, and you need to rely on the boat to reach the other side.
Only the moat outside the south gate is slightly narrower, about ten zhang or so, and after putting down the huge suspension bridge, it can be connected to the other side, allowing the people in the city to escape.
Therefore, hundreds of people crowded towards the south gate in the dark, and for a while the crowd was full of voices, crowded, and many people were mixed in with painful cries for help, but who could take care of anyone at this moment when the mud bodhisattva himself could not be protected "Erect a few more pontoon bridges on the river to take the people across the river" Liu Wei understands the mood of ordinary people to survive at the moment, if the suspension bridge is put down, it will definitely rush over, and then I don't know how many old and weak women and children will fall off the bridge, we must first control the order to avoid trampling and drowning causing huge casualties.
"Build a bridge" dragon and waved his hand to order.
With the order of the dragon, the Han military boats on the river competed for the river, competing to cross the river, and soon several pontoon bridges were erected side by side on the moat.
The boat is supported at the bottom, and wooden planks are put on the hull for the people to walk on the bridge deck.
"Long Ju, lead the troops to the head of the city, control the suspension bridge and the city gate, try to control the order, and reduce the number of people who die from stampede and drowning" Liu Wei chose a safe area and calmly commanded the rescue.
"No" Long agreed, and led 2,000 soldiers with large swords to the dead, carrying a ladder and stepping on the pontoon bridge to rush across the moat.
The earthquake struck suddenly, and the Sun army defending the city had received an order to break through the siege and withdrew from the city wall one after another, so the Han army approached the city wall safely.
More than a dozen ladders were erected on the city wall, and Long He led his troops to rush up the city wall.
"Don't panic, people, keep order, the king is here to rescue you out of the city" Long He led his troops to control the suspension bridge, so as not to be crowded outward after being put down by the people and causing heavy casualties, "Without my order, the suspension bridge is not allowed to be released" After taking control of the drawbridge, Long He led five or six hundred fierce soldiers to carry torches down the city wall, and struggled to break through the crowd: "Don't panic, go out of the city in order, so as not to trample on each other."
But the people were extremely frightened, and at this moment there were at least tens of thousands of old and young women and children piled up near the city gate, and the people in the distance heard that the south gate was about to open, and rushed from all directions, making the foot of the city gate even more crowded.
"Whoever dares not to obey the order will be beheaded immediately" Long He swung his knife and slashed a few of the gentlemen and family members who were scurrying around in the crowd, causing the people to retreat one after another, and only then did they open a way to the city gate.
"Let me stand in a straight line under the gates, and separate the people from being trampled on."
The dragon struggled to approach the city gate, and ordered the soldiers behind him to stand arm in arm at the foot of the gate, forming a line to separate the terrified refugees.
"Follow me into the city to arrest Sun Ce" Just when Long He controlled the south city gate, Ma Chao made a spear move, led his troops to rush through the moat, stepped on the ladder to climb the city wall of Xiangyang, and followed Ma Chao to search for Sun Cejun.
Liu Wei listened to the boiling voice in the city, waved his hand and ordered: "Continue to climb the city wall to reinforce General Longju to help maintain order, and ask Mrs.
Qin to lead 2,000 soldiers to climb the city wall and hold torches high to illuminate the people."
"Obedience" Qin Liangyu was moved by the heart of the Son of Heaven for the people, this is a good emperor, and the Xiliang Army has made the right choice, which is undoubtedly a gratifying thing.
"Come with me" Qin Liangyu rushed across the moat first with a torch held high, and the soldiers behind him each held two pine oil torches, trying to illuminate the night as much as possible, giving light to the frightened people, and letting them see the hope of living.
Two thousand soldiers lined up on the city wall, rows of torches like stars, although a handful of insignificant, but thousands of echoing each other, soon the dark Xiangyang City was alive, and the panicked people were much calmer than the headless flies at the beginning of the earthquake.
Aftershocks are still happening from time to time, the earth trembles from time to time, the people will still scream, and the dragon will see that the order of the city gate is controlled, so he personally opened the city gate and ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered: "The people line up to go out of the city, and they are not allowed to crowd and push, otherwise they will be killed."
Under the strong suppression of hundreds of elite soldiers led by Long Ji, the people lined up out of the south gate of Xiangyang, and then were guided by the soldiers outside the city gate to pass separately from the suspension bridge or the pontoon bridges on both sides, and left Xiangyang.
Although there will still be old and infirm people who are pushed to the ground or accidentally fall into the moat, at least tens of thousands of lives can be saved compared to rushing out of the city in a swarm Seeing tens of thousands of people escaping from Xiangyang City, Liu Wei felt a little relieved and asked: "Where is Zhang Liao?"
"Your Majesty, you are ambushing troops in a dangerous place in the south to prevent Sun Ce from breaking through."
Sun Bin replied.
"Withdraw to the city to search the ruins and save the buried refugees" Liu Wei made a decision without hesitation, "If Sun Ce wants to go, let him go, all the people in the world are my people, how can I put the cart before the horse and pass on my orders in order to clear out the chaotic party, the officers and men of the three armies are mainly to save people, supplemented by destroying the enemy, can save one person, not kill ten cowards" "Your Majesty is so merciful, and all the people are fortunate" Zhuge Liang, Sun Bin, Fu Zhu, Wei Zheng and other think tanks were all moved by Liu Wei's decision and praised them together.
Zhang Liao got the order, and soon led 10,000 ambush soldiers to Xiangyang City, crossed the moat by boat, stepped on the ladder to climb the Xiangyang city wall, and braved the aftershocks to search and rescue the buried people in the ruined Xiangyang City.

The Xiangyang West Gate Suspension Bridge was put down, the Fancheng East Gate Suspension Bridge was put down, and the two suspension bridges were spliced together, and there was a passage between the two cities.
Sun Ce protected Sun Shangxiang, and under the escort of Zhang Dingbian, Zhou Tong, and Sun Li, he led his henchmen to hold torches and led the tide-like soldiers to Fancheng, and Zhang Ren and Su Fei led some of the men and horses to take charge of the palace.
In the rumbling drums, Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing each led 10,000 elite soldiers to approach the north gate and east gate of Xiangyang on warships.
The violent earthquake tore the northern city wall of Xiangyang into some deformations, revealing gaps in many places, and the city gate was twisted and deformed under the tremendous force, but it still firmly blocked the way of the Han army into the city.
"Quickly transport a siege cone" Just as the soldiers set up the ladder, a partial general beckoned his subordinates to go back to transport the siege cone.
In the midst of the chaos, Gao Zhong carried a chiseled gold tiger head gun and rushed straight to the city gate: "The city gate has been twisted and deformed, let me break it open" "Bang Bang Bang" After three huge impacts, the twisted and deformed north gate of Xiangyang collapsed, splashing a puff of dust.
"Rush me" The high-pet spear made a move, and he was the first to enter the city, and the tigers and wolves behind him swarmed in.
At the same time, Liu Wei, who was directing the rescue, received a system prompt: "The Dingdong system detected the outbreak of high pets, the force was 5, and the strength increased significantly" "Ding Dong Gao Pet has opened the hidden attribute due to the destruction of the city gate: there is a chance to erupt three to five thunder attacks when the thunder fighter is in power, and the force will randomly increase by 69 points according to the confrontation situation" "Dingdong High Favor is opened due to the thunder attribute, and the attribute of the world has been perfected, and the force of the world when attacking the city or facing the chariot is 5, and the strength has increased significantly.
When facing a Power General, Force is increased by 3; Suppress the enemy's strength by 2 points against a skill-type general, and stack thunder on top of that." t1706231537:
