Volume 7 Yan Yun Rush Chapter 608 [Damn]
When Huang Jie and the others galloped all the way back to the camp of the Imperial Car Army, they also encountered the urgent teachers and post guards from the counties along the way northwest of Tokyo, and they also learned the exact news. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past few days, the upper reaches ushered in the autumn flood, and yesterday night because of the surge in water volume, the water supervisor of Heyin County, which is located at the mouth of the Bianhe River, used the Bianhe sluice to regulate and control. However, early this morning, the water from the upper reaches suddenly surged, and the water supervisor of Heyin was afraid that the continued diversion would cause the water level of the Bianhe River to rise sharply and endanger Tokyo, so he chose to close the sluice, and as a result, the Yellow River overflowed in Yuanwu County (now Yuanyang, Henan) north of Zhengzhou, and recently caused the embankment to burst.
It is difficult to say whether it will be a natural or man-made disaster, but one thing is predictable: this flood will only cause heavy casualties.
Tokyo Bianliang is located, is the endless plain area, and because of the establishment of the national capital, so that the population inside and outside Tokyo is also dense, you must know that although the food consumption of millions of people in Tokyo is mostly supplied by Caoyun, but meat, vegetables, firewood and charcoal and other daily necessities are supplied by the rural people outside the city, as far as Huang Jie knows, there are more than 100 vegetable gardens dedicated to Tokyo within a hundred miles near Tokyo, as well as Zhuangzi who breeds chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and Zhuangzi who specializes in woodwood and charcoal burning near the edge of the southern mountainous area. If you want to talk about the population living around Tokyo, there are at least 500,000 if not 1 million!
Fortunately, the location of Zhuxian Town is slightly higher, and when the water rushes, it has been powerless, although it can't destroy the house in an instant, it also soaked most of the town in the water in the blink of an eye. However, before that, although Huang Jie and the others preemptively reported the news, they only took a very small number of people to the west and went to Niutou Mountain, ran almost five miles away, and just went up to the highland, and saw the flood pouring into Zhuxian Town.
At that time, although it was four or five miles away, you could still hear the earth-shattering screams coming out of Zhuxian Town, and even with good eyesight, you could see figures the size of sesame dots being washed out of the town by the not-so-turbulent current, and then drowned in the yellow and black flood.
Huang Jie's face turned pale and he took the four children from the back of the mount Qinghua Cheng one by one, and more than a dozen men, women and children with the same pale faces sat around with a panicked and inexplicable expression, and a little farther away there were also many people with sticks, hoes and even flail and other farm tools, the number should be more than 100.
After the four children landed, and because of the terrible scene of the flood in front of them and cried, these men, women and children also came back to their senses, several women hurriedly stepped forward to hug their children, and the rest of them also knelt down in front of Huang Jie under the leadership of the two old men and said: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”
When he rushed into Zhuxian Town, Huang Jie only had five or six relatives left around him, but when he shouted loudly that the flood was coming and asked everyone to flee for their lives, the reaction he got was to look at each other one by one, and he was not moved at all.
Look left and right, now only Huang Dalong and the four horses are still following him, as well as the Du Shui envoy who came to report the news, that guy is now also on foot, and he ran away with a boot, but the mount was given to a gray-haired old woman, and now he is also pale looking at the waves and the flood shivering.
Huang Jie didn't say much, after asking everyone to get up, he pulled out the saber under his waist with a choked sound, jumped on the back of the blue and white skull, and stretched out his finger to flick the back of the knife, and heard the crisp and loud sound of the saber, which suddenly shocked the people who were still in a panic on the high ground to come back to their senses, but heard Huang Jie shout: "Listen well, I am now the Duyu Marquis in the Niutou Mountain Imperial Car Army, and now the flood is raging, and this is not a place to stay for a long time, hurry up and follow me to the Niutou Mountain camp!" ”
As soon as they heard that Huang Jie was the Marquis of Yu in the army, the people seemed to have found the backbone, but some people looked at the direction of Zhu Xianzhen and cried after hearing it, and some people even pulled Huang Jie's horse reins and pointed in the direction of Zhu Xianzhen and cried: "Marquis Yu...... Yu Hou ...... But you can't go, look at the people in the house...... Someone! ”
Now that the sun is just noon, the sky is light, the sun is strong, and if you really see from a distance, there are figures the size of sesame dots on the roofs of some houses in Zhuxian Town, and Huang Jie looked at the slowly rising waterline under his feet, but he could only shake his head and said: "Now don't say that there is no boat and no boat, even if you have a boat, you can't save it." Everyone still quickly followed me to the Niutou Mountain camp, first settled the old and weak women and children, and then tried to rescue them. ”
At that moment, Huang Jie also sat back on the horse, and with a roar in his mouth, he summoned Huang Dalong and the others over. After that, he also assigned a retinue who didn't remember his name to rush to the camp to inform, and the others scattered around to prevent someone from doing crazy things because of the stimulus, as for Huang Jie himself, he took out his painting halberd from his horse bag and mounted it, and carried the halberd in his hand to patrol the horse.
He knew that in this situation of encountering a catastrophe for the first time, although most people would be frightened and panicked, they could also control themselves, but there were still a very small number of people who would go crazy, and once they were not careful to prevent and control, they would often cause a big disaster.
Sure enough, under Huang Jie's command, most of the people could obediently wipe their tears and walk in the direction of Niutou Mountain, but there were still more than a dozen crying people standing by the water and not willing to go, Huang Jie couldn't control them, so he could only give them up.
Huang Jie, who was riding his horse behind the formation, was relieved until he led everyone out of the middle for almost a mile, but when the team just arrived at a small hill, it was disturbed by the exclamations of the people around him. When he turned his head to look, he saw that the small high ground where everyone had just left had already been submerged below the waterline, and there were no obvious signs in Zhuxian Town farther away, and it was obvious that all the houses were submerged in the yellow flood.
Huang Jie looked at this scene, and immediately cursed viciously: "The people of the water prison should die!" The water supervisor is even more damned! ”
After saying this, I heard a pop not far behind me, and when I turned my head to look, I also found that the water envoy should have fainted, and fell straight to the ground, not to speak, and a bloody cut was knocked out of his forehead. Huang Jie thought about it, and finally got off the horse with a cold face, casually tore off the cloth belt from the underwear on his body and wrapped him with him, and did not pinch others to wake him up, but beat him horizontally on the horse's back and carried him.
After walking about a mile, he also saw hundreds of cavalry coming quickly from the mountain road, and they were also the people who came to meet him in the large camp.
Before the crowd approached, Huang Jie also asked half of the people to dismount and let go of the horses, so as to quickly send the people to the camp for resettlement, and the other half asked them to search along the mountain in separate ways, if they found people who were lucky to escape, so as to give them the direction to go to the camp to avoid trouble, and then Huang Jie handed over the water envoy to others, and quickly rushed to the camp after re-mounting.
