Chapter 55 The surging waters of the Yellow River

Several boats struggled in the middle of the Yellow River. Efforts to escape the gap.

The explosion of gunpowder was only a small hole in the embankment, but the huge amount of water from the Yellow River quickly washed out a gap in the embankment, and under the washing of a large amount of river water, the embankment, which was thicker than the Kaifeng city wall, quickly collapsed, collapsed, collapsed, collapsed. It didn't take long for a gap two or three miles wide to crack.

The surging water of the Yellow River, with the momentum of a thousand miles, rolled southward.

Zhang Xuan felt under the city wall that the ground was constantly shaking, and this vibration was far stronger than the galloping of 10,000 horses and 100,000 horses.

The sound is like hope, and countless voices are stirring. Zhang Xuan couldn't hear anything else at all. It seems that the celestial phenomena are also responding to the sound of the Yellow River Jedi, and a storm is surging. It was dark in an instant.

Zhang Xuan just saw from a distance that hundreds of horsemen from the north were running frantically to the south, and the crazy posture was simply to throw away the armor, and all the knights only had a single piece of clothing, what armor, what weapons, all were lost. Each of them shouted loudly, their faces hideous, but Zhang Xuan just couldn't hear them shouting.

But even if Zhang Xuan didn't know what they were shouting, he knew that what they were shouting was nothing more than running away or something.

Luo Yulong reacted faster than they all did.

Luo Yulong didn't care about the team at all, and whipped heavily on Zhang Xuan's mount. Zhang Xuan involuntarily lay on his horse and headed west.

The rebel army, which was originally in a neat formation under the city, suddenly panicked, what military discipline, what kind of general, before this almost ruined disaster, everyone followed their inner feelings.

There was no establishment at all, and tens of thousands of people ran westward. Because the terrain to the west is relatively high, but it is not much higher.

But every time you get higher, you have a higher hope.

And at this moment, above the city, it is even more of a mess, all the people who are fighting have stopped fighting, above the city, the field of vision is broader, and you can see the earth-shattering changes in the north, and you can't care about what to fight for a while.

Someone hurried down from the city and ran westward.

Some people desperately climbed the tower, because it was the highest and might be able to escape the flood. There are even people who are already scared stupid and don't know what to do. He fell on his knees on the ground and wept bitterly.

Zhang Xuan rode on his horse and galloped desperately, trying to look back.

I saw the loess-like flood, like countless flowing land, seemingly slow, but extremely fast.

No matter how fast the horse's hooves galloped, it could not compare to the speed of the flood peak, and in an instant, countless floods swept these hundreds of horses into it

Zhang Xuan could also see several cavalry carrying heavy loads and floating in the wave peak. Immediately, he was slapped on the city wall by the flood peak. Turning into a cloud of bloody mud, the surrounding waters instantly turned bloody, and a moment later, it was washed away by the flood.

It's still muddy yellow

。

The flood crest slammed into the city gate.

"Boom."

The power of the flood is greater than any battering ram. Even though the city gate holes of several zhang at the north gate of Kaifeng have been sealed solidly, and the layers of masonry have filled it, it is still shaking under the impact of the flood.

"Quick, quick, block, block."

When the flood came, this kind of movement of shaking the ground and mountains, how could you not know it in Kaifeng City.

As a city that has been repeatedly threatened by floods, its experience in flood prevention is far greater than that of other places.

They knew that the Kaifeng city wall was a natural protective embankment. Only by guarding the Kaifeng city wall can there be a glimmer of life

If you can't hold the Kaifeng city wall, the city is full of people, no one will survive.

Everyone is desperately trying to strengthen the walls and strengthen the gates.

But no one noticed, the water had penetrated a little bit under their feet.

But in a moment, with a "boom", the city gate was forced open by the flood.

The rolling flood, like a giant dragon, swept away along the main road of Kaifeng, and houses of all sizes collapsed in an instant.

And it's not just here, either.

The flood came so fast that Xiao Yuanying almost didn't have time to clean up the mess. Thousands of soldiers were buried in the flood.

The flood outside the city rushed along the Kaifeng city wall, and the campers also retreated. When retreating, I didn't care about any artillery.

More than 100 cannons were swept away by the flood.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were in chaos, and King Chuang could not control the army, so he could only go west.

watched Kaifeng City fall into an ocean.

Moreover, the Kaifeng city wall has already been dug up with holes, and then it was washed away by this flood, and there are many places that can't hold on. For a time, the city walls collapsed in large areas. Except for a few high places in the city, such as the Zhou Wangfu Carrier Palace, the Kaifeng Iron Tower, and a few other buildings, there are hardly many buildings that can be exposed.

If you look at it from the sky, you can't see it except for these buildings.

In this way, Kaifeng Jiancheng, which has a circumference of twenty miles, fell into the river.

Zhang Xuan fled, but the speed at which the flood spread was getting faster and faster.

When the group fled to Xiao Yuan's camp, the raging flood finally stopped spreading.

In front of Zhang Xuan is a new Yellow River.

It is dozens of miles wide, and the edge is almost impossible to see at a glance. In the surging waters of the Yellow River, countless characters drift. Zhang Xuan also didn't know that most of the people died in the flood.

Under the impact of the flood, the ground was constantly crosscuted. Cut a steep slope through the ground.

Large tracts of soft land fall into the Yellow River.

Zhang Xuan stood by the river, rushing against the blood for a while, he snorted, and blood oozed from his lips.

"Is there only one result of all my efforts for so long? There were 400,000 people in Kaifeng City, more than 1 million people were affected by the floods of the Yellow River, and even tens of thousands of soldiers died in order to conquer Kaifeng City. Is all this irretrievable? ”

"What the hell am I doing?"

"If all this is irreparable, what is the significance of me coming to this era?"

Zhang Xuan's heart was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. I couldn't stand it anymore, and a mouthful of stuffy blood spurted out, wetting my clothes.

"Your Excellency." Zhou Fuming said: "My lord, what's wrong with you? ”

Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, and said, "Don't worry about me, pass the order, our army will move to the camp, it is no longer safe here." ”

Although it is said that the new Yellow River is no longer widened, but now that it is the summer and autumn season, if the flood breaks out again, maybe what will happen, at this time the newly formed river channel is not stable at all, and the danger of camping near the river is too high.

"Yes." Zhou Fuming agreed and said, "However, my lord, is your illness really okay?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Isn't it just a mouthful of blood? I have seen a lot, and all the timber is not allowed to be abandoned, and it is all tied into a raft, ready to save people. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Xuan arranged one thing after another, and after discussing with Yuan Shizhong, the army moved westward collectively.

I don't know if the heavens are also crying for the things of the world, after the river broke in late July, Henan officially entered the rainy season.

Days of rainy weather.

Moreover, this can be called a big break in the diversion of the Yellow River, and Zhang Xuan can be regarded as having a comprehensive grasp of the situation.

The Yellow River flows south from Zhujiazhai, leveling the city of Kaifeng, flooding several counties and flowing into the vortex river. The Whirlpool River, a tributary of the Huai River, rushes into a large amount of water from the Yellow River, and along both banks of the Whirlpool River, the water volume rises sharply, breaking through the villages along the river.

How many people died in the flood, Zhang Xuan can't estimate at all, but it's definitely above one million.

And more importantly, the impact of this flood on the rebels.

The flood inundated Kaifeng City and divided the rebel army into two sections, Cao Ying, who had been besieging the city in the east, and Chuang Ying and Xiao Yuan, who had been in the west.

Even if the communication between the two sides is inconvenient, and it is rainy and rainy, it is not easy for the two sides to cross the new Yellow River.

However, these things are not what Zhang Xuan is worried about. Because Zhang Xuan is sick.

It seems that all you get is a flood. The blow to Zhang Xuan was too big, and it seemed that Zhang Xuan's mental energy was too much before. Now it is the sequelae, and it may be due to the weather, in short, Zhang Xuan is sick in bed. The high fever continued, and Luo Yujiao's care was not good. made Luo Yujiao extremely worried, no matter what happened, he was not allowed to disturb him.
