Seeing this scene, Li Yi's heart became even more anxious. The city is flooded like this, not to mention the embankment on the riverbank

The terrain in this city is not much higher than the river, and the water that is usually excreted should flow into the river, but now the water is not discharged, and it is all hoarded in the city, which can only show that the water level of the river is very high, or even the same as this side.

And this situation will not last long, once the embankment bursts and the water floods, won't Ningzhou City be completely immersed in water.

Li Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he had to gallop towards the east city gate.

Came to the gate of the east city, which has not been flooded for a while due to the high terrain. The sentry officer guarding the city saw that it was Li Yi, and after asking about the situation, he hurriedly opened the corner gate of the city wall, and a group of seven people jumped out of the horse and went straight to the east bank of the river.

As soon as they left the city gates, the horses could no longer move their hooves, and because of the standing water everywhere, the horses had to wade through the water. Along the muddy official road, which had been completely immersed in water, the seven horses struggled forward and finally came to the river.

Looking at the surging river raging and lapping on both banks, the turbid river water is almost parallel to the two banks, if it rains for a few more hours, this fragile embankment will not be able to restrain the rushing river water at all.

Li Yi rode along the shore to the south, and vaguely heard a noisy voice not far away, and when he got closer, he found that in a place where the embankment was low, there was a river overflowing.

Hundreds of local people, shouting trumpets, braving the pouring rain, nervously and busily transporting sacks of earth and stones, and even door panels and quilts, are trying to plug the mouth that is about to burst.

Li Yi hurriedly jumped off his horse, walked quickly to the middle of them, and asked an old man who was commanding at the scene, "Uncle, what village are you from?" Is there anything we can help with? ”

The old man glanced back at Li Yi, and said angrily, "We have it in every village, and everyone has a share in this kind of thing." If this is a decision, it is not a matter of any family! ”

"Young man, if you have two strengths, don't just stand and watch, so many people are too busy, why don't you hurry up and help the helper."

Li Yi smiled slightly, hurriedly rolled up the sleeves of his raincoat, turned around and said to Lian Jun and the others, "The situation here is critical, we can't delay for a moment, we all work hard, hurry up and plug the opening, otherwise, the people here will suffer." ”

After speaking, Li Yi immediately waded through the muddy water, walked to the pile of sacks that had just been pulled by an ox cart in the distance, stretched out his hand and carried a sack on his shoulder, tried it, felt that the weight was too light, so he lifted another sack with one hand, threw it on the other shoulder, and strode towards the mouth of the embankment.

Lian Jun saw that Li Yi did it himself, and he carried two bags at once, so he hurriedly took the two bags and sent them to the embankment effortlessly.

Pan Chongche did not lose his strength, but also two packs, and followed without showing weakness. Liu Huang and Ling Feng will also be able to carry two bags, but it will be a little difficult for the brothers Lu Song and Lu Huai, and they also tried to carry two bags at a time, but they did not succeed after a lot of effort, so they had to transport them here one by one.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Yi walked back and forth more than a dozen times, and he didn't feel tired at all. After the efforts of hundreds of people for more than an hour, there was finally no river overflowing at the mouth, and then after continuous tamping and reinforcement, the danger of this place has been basically eliminated.

At this time, the rain also eased a little, Li Yi wiped the rain and sweat from his forehead, sat on a stone covered with mud, looked at the gap that had been blocked, and felt a little relieved.
