Chapter 661: Human Wall
"Straw brooms are not durable, and ashlar mining is expensive, are these two things the only thing that can build a river embankment?" Li Yang, who was lying on the bed, muttered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The of later generations are all concrete, but they are a hundred times stronger than now, but unfortunately Li Yang doesn't understand this thing at all, and he can't use it if he wants to, and he really regrets why he didn't go to the construction site to be a small worker, otherwise it is very good to learn a skill to be an architect in the Dakang Dynasty, so that you can build a good embankment for future generations to admire.
Just when he was thinking wildly, he heard a commotion outside, and the word leakage vaguely appeared, Li Yang was startled, grabbed his clothes, pulled on his shoes, and ran out of the door.
They lived in an inn in the south of Xinji Town, and when Li Yang ran outside the inn, many disheveled men were passing by the door and desperately rushing towards the north of the town.
"My lord, what's wrong?" Seeing Liu Shilang appear with more than a dozen equally disheveled servants, Li Yang hurriedly asked.
"The levee is leaking." Leaving a sentence, Liu Shilang's footsteps hurriedly ran north with the flow of people, Li Yang was startled, and hurriedly raised his heels.
Rushing to the north of the town, the embankment a mile away was like day under the light of countless torches, and people were everywhere panicked figures and shouts.
Looking at the situation, things are a little tricky, Li Yang only feels that his legs are weak and he can no longer take a step forward, mother's, you won't catch up with the flood of the embankment with such a little back, right?
Li Yang had seen the 98 catastrophic flood reported on television, and the situation inside was vivid, and in the face of the power of nature, human life seemed so weak that it was swallowed up by the flood in an instant.
With a shudder, Li Yang somehow was full of strength at that moment, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the embankment.
"Don't panic, everyone, listen to the official's orders!" Liu Shilang, whose body was a little thin, stood on the embankment like a majestic general at this time, and the shouts floating in the air shocked the audience, and the originally panicked people gradually quieted down.
Li Yang took advantage of this opportunity to take a look at the condition of the embankment, and couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, fortunately, it was just a leak, not a breach of the embankment.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu Shilang immediately made arrangements, Director Zheng, who accompanied him, led some people to make straw brooms immediately, Director Zhao led people to inspect both sides of the embankment to see if there were any water leaks, and he took the remaining part of the people to use soil to delay the expansion of the water eye.
As long as there is someone in command, everything will be easy, and everyone will immediately split up and get busy.
"My lord, it's not a way to go on like this, and it's useless to delay the spread of the water eye with mud!" Li Yang couldn't help but get anxious as he watched the water eyes continue to expand.
Seeing more and more water coming out, Liu Shilang's body trembled slightly, "You have to use it if it's useless, otherwise this embankment will completely collapse before the straw broom is made." ”
This section of the embankment can be called the tofu slag project, just more than 50 steps, there are more than 30 water holes the thickness of the bucket, once connected into a string, the only result is the dam burst. When the Yellow River comes out, hundreds of miles southeast of Xinji Town will be finished!
"My lord, why don't the students lead someone into the water and temporarily block the outlet hole on the inside of the embankment." Li Yang suddenly remembered the scene of the flood fighters using their bodies to form a flood wall during the flood fight in later generations, and immediately made a proposal.
Liu Shilang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, the river is turbulent, and one accidentally will be swept away, even if you have nine lives, it's useless!" ”
"My lord, isn't there a rope, how can the people who go into the water be washed away if they are all tied together with ropes?" Li Yang pointed to the ropes on the left and right on the ground and said. Talented people, maybe the big guys think this guy is light and brought it from home.
"That's not good, if you soak in the water, you can't wash it away, and you'll suffocate to death!" Liu Shilang shook his head, leaving no room for relaxation.
Li Yang didn't bother to ink with him, picked up a ball of rope and quickly ran up the embankment and shouted: "For the sake of the villagers, you are not afraid of death and go into the water with me!" ”
Many people heard the argument between Li Yang and Liu Shilang just now, and when they saw that this guy was really coming, everyone had only one feeling in their hearts, it was good.
Everyone in this world is afraid of death, but everyone is not afraid of death, although it seems to be a very contradictory question, but through the words "Hongmao" and "Taishan", we can find that this seemingly contradictory question has an answer.
Of course, when people are really facing death, it is impossible for people to think of such truths, and rush forward with just one blood.
When Li Yang stood on the embankment and shouted this voice, many people's minds were hot, and they followed the embankment without saying a word.
Things were the same as Liu Shilang expected, although the rope could ensure that people would not be swept away by the turbulent water, but it could not solve the problem of breathing underwater.
Fortunately, Li Yang was smart, and he had a plan for his head, and divided the nearly 100 men who climbed the embankment with him into four groups, two of which were responsible for pulling the ropes on the embankment to prevent the people who went into the water from being swept away by the current. The other two groups can solve this problem by taking turns diving, although there is a gap in the middle, but it is possible to delay the spread of the water eye.
"Li Yang, you come back for me!" Liu Shilang, who climbed up the embankment with the support of the accompanying officers, saw that Li Yang really tied the rope to himself and was about to go into the water, and couldn't help but say in a hurry.
Li Yang ignored it, nodded solemnly at the men pulling the ropes, and ran down the embankment into the water.
"Bastard, don't go up and help yet." Liu Shilang was dumbfounded, turned around and scolded angrily at the few messengers behind him, once something happened to Li Yang, how could he explain to the prince, and the more he looked at him in the past few days, the more pleasing he became, how could he be willing to let him have an accident!
Li Yang's risky step had a great effect, although it could not completely block the water eye, but it was more than enough to prevent the spread. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the people on the outside of the embankment quickly filled the hole with earth, and the water flow became smaller and smaller, and almost disappeared.
After holding out for nearly a quarter of an hour, the hastily prepared straw broom finally arrived, and within a few strokes of adding to both sides of the embankment, more than 30 water holes were blocked, and a catastrophe that almost endangered hundreds of thousands of lives was finally over.
"Quick, hurry up and carry Li Yang back to this official." The embankment was safe, but Li Yang, a flood hero, fainted on the embankment. Seeing that his face was pale, Liu Shilang wanted to cry without tears, praying in his heart that this kid would not make any mistakes.
Li Yang was very miserable, he always thought that he was a dragon in the water, but he forgot that it was a matter of his previous life. Now this body is too weak, and the river water is cold in the middle of the night, and his feet cramp as soon as he gets out of the water, if it weren't for the rope, Li Yang can conclude that it will be completely finished in this way.
In this situation, Li Yang has been in a state of dizziness, just doing what he thinks in his heart mechanically, diving, floating, and repeating. So as soon as he was pulled up the embankment, he completely fainted and fell unconscious.
