Chapter 80: On the eve of a typhoon

In the evening, there was still a beautiful sunset in the sky, and when He Wu turned back to the county office, his face was really blue, and he said to Xiao Yao and them: "Lord Xu, Captain Xiao, I went to ask all those fishing boats just now, and they all said that the weather really looks like a precursor to a hurricane, and several fishing boats that have just returned from the sea said that they saw a broken rainbow in the sky at sea, so they turned around and came back immediately!" It looks like a hurricane will arrive the day after tomorrow! ”

"Is there really a hurricane? The day after tomorrow? Shiro, let's hurry back to Huzhou! Xu Jingcheng was also shocked, looked at Xiao Yao and said.

Xiao Yao looked at He Wu, who was frowning, took a deep breath and said, "To be a soldier is to serve the people!" Now that the people are in trouble, I can't just walk away! Lord Xu, you rush back to Huzhou first, and the infantry battalion and I will stay behind to help Lord He fight the typhoon! ”

"You're staying? It's too dangerous! You must know that the hurricane is coming, it is worse than the army pressing the border, the houses will fall, the city will collapse, and even people will be blown up! Xu Jingcheng persuaded.

"It's just a typhoon, it's not that I haven't seen it, I came here and met Lord He is fate, now Haiyan County is in trouble, of course, I have to fight side by side with Lord He to fight against the typhoon! Lord Xu hurried back to Huzhou to prepare for various disaster relief work, Boss Zu, you also go back and prepare all kinds of disaster relief materials! Xiao Yao commanded.

"Okay, when I go back, I will definitely mobilize all the materials of the General Commercial Bank to assist in the disaster relief!" Zu Yuan said.

"On behalf of the people of Haiyan County, thank you Captain Xiao!" He Wu was moved to tears.

"Now that Shiro has made up his mind, Xu will not say more, I thank you for the people of Haiyan County for your infantry battalion! Be careful! After Xu Jingcheng saluted Xiao Yao heavily, he summoned his soldiers and horses and Zu Yuan to rush back to Huzhou together.

。。。。。。

On the city gate school field, Xiao Yao was waving his fists and mobilizing hoarsely: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, a hurricane is coming!" As a Chen Guoren, everyone has heard of hurricanes and knows the power of hurricanes, and some people are even very scared in their hearts, because hurricanes bring strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning! ”

"But I tell you, there is nothing to be afraid of, and if there is a strong wind, we will not go against it; When there was heavy rain and floods, we went to high places; There is thunder and lightning, and our artillery is louder than it! So what's so scary about these things! ”

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, those who are soldiers must fight the enemy for the country and the people! Our enemy this time is the Hurricane! Do you have the faith to overcome it? ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of the infantry battalion responded in a neat and powerful manner, echoing in bursts.

"Well, hurricanes have their laws, and as long as we follow these laws, we can prevent it and defeat it! First, it will have strong winds, which can blow down trees and houses, so we have to inspect the entire county, strengthen it where it is not strong, and build a strong shelter under the city wall, so that the people of the whole county can enter the shelter from the wind! ”

"Second, it's going to rain heavily and it's going to cause flooding, so we have to check the drainage system and take shelter on high ground, because you can't stay on the boat, you have to move everything down and move it to the city!"

"Thirdly, the hurricane lasts almost a day and a night, so we need to prepare enough water and food, as well as other emergency supplies, dry clothes, dry firewood, etc., all be ready!"

"Fourth, everyone must have the confidence to defeat the hurricane, and man will win the day!"

"Man will conquer heaven!" "Man will conquer the sky!" 。。。。。。

A loud and firm slogan sounded on the school grounds!

。。。。。。

The next day, the weather that had been sunny for several days turned cloudy and light rain, and a northeast wind blew, which meant that the typhoon would hit Haiyan County from the southeast.

Xiao Yao stood on a high place and looked at the black shadow in the sky with a telescope, and said to He Wu worriedly: "According to this wind speed, and the black shadow in the sky, it is estimated that the hurricane will come tonight!" Will land near Haiyan County! Hopefully not a super typhoon! ”

He Wu also worried: "Today's weather is exactly the same as last year's, it also began to wind and rain at dawn, and then the wind blew stronger and stronger, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and by the afternoon, it was already dark, many houses were blown down, and even the boats on the dock were blown overturned, and at night I didn't know what time it was, only the sound of wind and rain, and the cries for help from everywhere!" The next day, I saw the tragic scene, alas! Even the roof of the city gate has been overturned, how many people have been displaced, and their families have been destroyed! ”

"But this time, thanks to Captain Xiao's early warning, and the help of a group of brothers from the infantry battalion, the houses under the city walls here were strengthened yesterday, and today the people can be allowed to come in and take shelter! Haiyan County, thank you, Captain Xiao! After speaking, He Wu wanted to kneel down to thank Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao hurriedly stopped him and said: "Lord He doesn't need to say thank you, saving the people from fire and water is what I Xiao Yao should do!" And now that the hurricane is not yet here, we can't relax yet, there are still many things to arrange! ”

"Captain Xiao is really benevolent! What are we going to do next, all the officials in Haiyan County will definitely obey the dispatch of the school captain! He Wu said firmly.

Xiao Yao shook his head and said: "Lord He, you are the county commander here, and you are familiar with the situation here, so you can only sit in the base camp and be responsible for scheduling and arranging manpower!" ”

"What we have to do now, first, we must immediately arrange for all the people in the vicinity to take shelter under the city walls! It was up to Lord He to be in charge, persuading everyone to pack up the soft and soft and prepare dry food, and the army would assist in the immediate transfer! ”

"Second, arrange a patrol team, patrol everywhere inside and outside the city, maintain order among the people, investigate the danger, and if you find a dangerous situation, report it immediately and solve it in time!"

"Third, find some respectable people, calm everyone's emotions, and in the face of the hurricane, we must be united!"

"Finally, arrange for some people who are familiar with the surrounding environment to lead the infantry battalion, and we will search outside the city to see if there are any lone people! But all of them must return to the city before dark! ”

。。。。。。

At noon, the wind and rain were staggered, and the typhoon was approaching, and the temporary shelter under the city wall was already full of people, some people dragged their families, and some people brought chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, and some people almost moved the tiles on the roof.

However, He Wu and the officers and soldiers sat here, the overall order was quite good, no one dared to make trouble, everyone sat quietly around the fire, and ginger water was boiling on the fire: if there is fire, there is warmth, and if there is warmth, there is no fear.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! And people at sea! A soaking wet man rushed in and ran to He Wu to report.

"Is there anyone else at sea? Who is it? He Wu was also shocked, the fishing boats at sea were the first to be notified, the first batch of people to evacuate, how could there still be people at sea?

"It's the people who live on Yuzui Island, it is estimated that the wind and waves are too strong to drown there, so they escaped by boat, and now they are being washed up by the waves at sea!" The man hurriedly reported.

"Why didn't you pick up the people over there in advance?" Xiao Yao asked angrily.

"This, Captain Xiao, the people who live on Yuzui Island are all family members of the Salt Gang!" He Wu replied a little quietly.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and continued: "No matter whose family it is, everyone is equal in the face of disaster!" Bring someone to rescue them! ”

"There's not enough people here, go get the patrol outside the city back! Go save people! He Wu immediately arranged.

"It's too late, by the time we find the patrol, these people have already been swept away by the big waves! I'll go! Xiao Yao got up and said.

"Captain Xiao, I'll go in person!" He Wu stopped Xiao Yao and said

"You're the commander-in-chief here, you can't leave, if you find a patrol, let them go to our aid! Big tiger and two tigers, find a few who can swim, bring ropes, and we will go to rescue people immediately! Lead the way! Xiao Yao picked up the person who reported the news and turned around and left.
