The soldier said, "Stop. I have orders that no one must cross the bridge. If you try to cross the bridge, I will shoot you."
Near the bridge was a boat. The woman told the boatman she needed to cross the river. The boatman said he would take her across the river if she paid him $100.

The woman tried to across the bridge.
The soldier shot her dead.
