At night, the wind and rain whimpered, and the trees swayed.

"Two dogs, two dogs!"

In the mud, a thin figure climbed the dam of the river embankment, shouting the name of a dog called Ergou.

"You still dare to sleep at the current flood situation, don't die."

He got into the tent and kicked a black shadow lying on the ground, and the black shadow muttered twice.

"Monkey, I beg you not to toss me, let me sleep. I haven't slept for almost three days, and I'm going to die. ”

"Get up! Get up! ”

The thin monkey carried a gong and roared along the embankment, waking up seven or eight tents along the shore. He was the pawn of this group of flood soldiers, and he had to come and go around every night.

"Where's the water level?"

"It's okay, it's still more than three feet away from the danger line in the evening, and I haven't arrived..."

In the night, a flood guard wearing a robe leaning against the mouth of the embankment tilted his head to look, and suddenly lost his voice, and only yelled for a long time.

"Up two inches!"

"What?"

The thin monkey was so frightened that his body shook, and he walked over quickly, slipped and fell to the ground, and he didn't care about the pain at the moment, so he crawled to the river, picked up a measuring water stick and pierced it.

"The upstream will rise by an inch, and the downstream will rise by at least a foot or more!"

The sky flashed, reflecting the skinny monkey's bloodless, frightened and immature cheeks.

"If we have risen by two inches, it may rise by two or three feet somewhere downstream, or even more."

At this time, the embankment was surrounded by flood soldiers, and they all chattered and panicked: "Look at the water sign, it has risen again!" ”

"Jiangxi is going to be flooded!"

The thin monkey got up from the ground and shouted with a jump: "All on the flood boat, we have to go down the river to report the danger, it is midnight, and the downstream is likely to be lax, once the embankment bursts at this time, it is too dangerous." ”

"Call the police on the flood boat!"

Under the heavy rain, more than a dozen flood guards, you look at me, I look at you, but none of them moved. At present, the upstream is rising fiercely, and the downstream does not know what it has become severe, maybe it has been flooded, and the boat is down, just the weakness of the flood boat, a wave will be overturned, and when the time comes, he will be buried in the belly of the fish, and the bones will not be found.

The thin monkey was anxious, and he cried when he spoke: "If you want to die, you will die a lot of people." ”

The young man who was called Ergou never thought that there would be a great flood, and when he thought of the horror of the flood and the fragility of the flood boat, his body trembled.

"Skinny monkey, if you call the police, we will die first."

In a word, it reached the hearts of all the flood soldiers.

Imagination is different from reality, they only know that since the rain began to rain last month, the local government began to recruit flood soldiers, and the salary is rich, they feel that this is a good difference, as long as the water rises when the water goes downstream to report the police, it will be fine, but when the matter is urgent, they realize in their hearts how much courage it takes to go to the police.

"I'm not going, I'm going home!"

A flood guard suddenly shouted: "We are upstream, and the embankment will not flood us." ”

Seeing that this group of people was about to disperse, the thin monkey knelt on the ground with a pop.

"Brothers, you can't go, you can't go!" In the heavy rain, the thin monkey knelt there straight, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears on his face: "Brothers, the water must have risen downstream, and it has risen very quickly, but it may not form a burst embankment. That's the lives of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands! I beg you, I beg you! ”

As he spoke, the thin monkey even kowtowed, which made all the flood guards silent and pause to leave.

"When there was a disaster in our hometown, it was the grain of Jiangxi people who came to relieve the disaster, and we survived by eating Jiangxi people's rice."

The thin monkey begged: "We are all a family, we are all Ming people, we can't ignore it." ”

"Fuck!"

Ergou stomped his feet: "The thief raised by the son of a bitch, either there is a drought or a flood, do you want the lives of the people so much?" That's it, if you can't live today, give him this life. ”

The soldiers are all young people, all of whom are easily impulsive, and when they heard this, they all gritted their teeth and responded.

When the thin monkey raised his head, his forehead was full of blood, and when the rain washed it, his face looked very miserable, but he didn't have time to cry out for pain now, so he kowtowed excitedly and thanked him again and again.

"Brothers, see you again in this life."

The second dog hit the embankment and pushed the flood boat into the river, and the ghost jumped on the flood boat with a scream, and before he could say anything, he flew downstream in an instant under the turbulence.

"Mother, my son is too weak to be a soldier, and if he dies for Jiangxi today, he will die a well-deserved death, forgive his son for being unfilial."

The thin monkey was the second to go down the river, and after him, many of the flood guards kowtowed their heads in the direction of their respective houses, and then the ghost screamed and pushed out the flood boats, and rushed into the river one by one.

Jiujiang, a camp along the Yangtze River.

"The water is rising!"

A terrible scream sounded, and the night guard Qianhu hurriedly greeted him.

"My lord, the Yangtze River water stick, the water is rising!"

Qianhu Guan took it, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "Get on the horse!" Get on board! ”

At present, the flood situation is 800 miles and the headquarters is urgently reported.

A soldier led the horse, and the thin monkey turned his head to look at it, turned over on the horse with a tear, and galloped out with a whip.

When the Xun pawn left, Qianhu picked up the trumpet and plucked up all his strength to blow it.

The camp set up by hundreds of thousands of troops was suddenly woken up, and countless generals and soldiers ran out one after another, unlike in the past, this time they did not hold weapons, but carried a few sacks of linen, which were full of yellow mud and stones filled during the day.

"General, the water is rising."

Li Mao, the commander of Jiangxi, nodded solemnly, and as a dignified general, he picked up two sandbags in one hand and ran in the direction of the Yangtze River.

No need to mobilize, no need to inspire.

The 300,000 Ming athletes unswervingly took a step, headed towards the direction of the Yangtze River, and launched the first ever charge of flesh and blood to heaven and earth behind Li Mao!

"Once the Yangtze River bursts, we will be the embankment!"

Henan Commander Tang Bi looked up at the pitch-black sky indifferently, feeling the raindrops like beans hitting his face, and his tone was indifferent but solid as a rock.

"Dare to fight the sky with mortal fetuses, and swear to live and die with Jiangxi!"

Under the rain curtain, the Yangtze River roared, and the churning waves seemed to be laughing at the hundreds of thousands of self-sufficient Da Ming Erlang in front of him, and the river water rolling down from the upstream hit the embankment.

"Click!"

The faint sound of cracks sounded, and suddenly it became urgent, and the sound of more and more dirt bricks separating and breaking sounded, but hundreds of thousands of Daming sons and daughters held their heads high behind the hundreds of generals and colonels led by them, and none of them showed fear.

"Boom!"

On July 17, the fourth year of Jianwen, Jiangxi rained heavily for months, and the Jiujiang section burst the embankment!
