The flood peak swept everything on both sides, and the sand, small trees, and mud mixed into a gray-yellow turbidity current and went down the trend.

"The flood is coming," the men who were fighting on the warships were frightened, and jumped off the bow of the ship and into the water.

When Wei Chi Xiu and Yang Zhiyi heard Li Rong's shout, they forced their opponents back, jumped off the boat and swam to the shore.

Wu Sansi stood on the shore with an iron face, beckoning Wu Chonggui to command the soldiers to retreat to a high place, and he had no choice but to run towards the mountain behind him.

In the face of the great power of nature, Wu Sansi, the innate grandmaster, did not dare to resist head-on, although the flood could not drown him.

Wu Youxu and You Shan also shook their bodies and disappeared from the water.

The torrent roared down, rolling up the warships, and the panicked people on board, rushing downstream without stopping.

The torrent slammed into the dam with the warship, and collapsed the dam like a city-breaking hammer, and in an instant the water became even bigger and flowed with a roar.

Immediately behind the torrent were more than a dozen rafts, each of which contained a dozen samurai of different colors and fierce breaths.

Li Ruoxue, Lin Qianyue and others had already jumped on the raft and followed the torrent towards Luoyang City.

After being reminded by Li Rong, all the thousands of knights ran to a high place to avoid a catastrophe. The first battalion of soldiers led by Wu Chonggui was not so lucky.

The terrain on the south bank is a little flatter and not high, so Wu Chonggui will camp there. But when the flood came, it became a fatal heel. Most of the soldiers cried and ran to the heights, but they could not escape the flood. The flood swept through the soldiers and the tents on the ground, and destroyed the entire camp to the ground.

Wu Chonggui naturally escaped, his light skills were good, his body speed was quite fast, and he climbed to the mountain behind the valley first, looking at the camp that had been washed into white ground and wanted to cry without tears. The soldiers under his command are all wiped out, even if he goes back, his prestige will drop to the extreme, and a general who has all his subordinates killed but escaped will still be trusted, and it is basically impossible to lead the army anymore, which is equivalent to blocking his career. Wu Chonggui usually only practices martial arts, and is not proficient in official affairs, and it is not easy to take the road of civil officials, which makes him not depressed.

"I hope the people below will retreat in time," Yuan Xingchong sighed as he looked at the dilapidated dam and the distant Hongfeng.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Li Rong stood beside Yuan Xingchong and said.

Li Zhaokun's "Seven Wounds Fist" hurts people's internal organs, and ordinary six-grade masters take his full blow, and if he doesn't die, he won't have half a life, not to mention that Li Zhaokun also stimulates his potential and casts a secret blow. Fortunately, Li Rong has the rare knowledge of soft water true qi, and his ability to heal injuries and continue his life is unparalleled in the world, otherwise he will really leave an incurable sequelae.

"Our Lady and Emperor have always acted decisively and will deal with this matter properly." Yuan Xingchong said, "Gather the soldiers and return to the city immediately, hoping to catch up." ”

Not many of the thousand knights actually participated in the battle, most of them shot arrows or threw short spears from a distance, so that they could quickly retreat to high ground after hearing the warning, and not many people were injured.

The fleet of the Shifting Greedy Khan slowly traveled along the Cao Canal, came to a mile from Luoshui, and slowly stopped, as if waiting for something.

On the side of the altar, the officials retreated to the rear under the leadership of Wei Xuantong, and some of them were still quite puzzled and whispered something in their mouths.

Wu Chengsi's face was serious, he heard Li Duozuo's words, and he didn't know what was going on, "How can this be, think twice that they are not guarding the dam, how can they let the dam collapse?" ”

At this time, Wu Chengsi had no intention of worrying about his prestige and status among the ministers with Wei Xuan, and was bent on thinking about Wu Sansi and others.

If something happened to Wu Sansi and Wu Youxu, half of the power of the Wu family would be removed, which was definitely not something that Wu Chengsi was happy to see. He has tasted power, how can he let power slip out of his hands. Of course, the lives of the people in the lower reaches of Luoshui were not within his consideration at all.

"Wan'er, go to the palace dojo to inform Master Fazang, and Master Shicha Nanda will come to escort you." Wu Zetian coldly ordered Shangguan Wan'er.

Yang Jingchen, as Wu Zetian's inner servant, not only conveyed his will, but also shouldered the mission of protecting Wu Zetian, and he couldn't leave at this time.

Shangguan Wan'er has always been Wu Zetian's personal maid, and she is often ordered to convey the holy will.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Mother." Shangguan Wan'er turned around and left, and hurriedly went to the palace to invite the two Buddhist masters sitting in the palace.

Wu Zetian knew that the snake spirit's plan might not be just a move to launch a flood, and it was likely to take the opportunity to send a master to surround and kill him, and at this time, Wu Youxu, Yuan Xingchong and others had already left the palace, and it was estimated that they would not be able to come back, and there were not many masters around her, so they could only invite Fazang and Shicha Nantuo.

Master Fazang is the third ancestor of Huayan Sect, who came to Luoyang to preach the scriptures and teachings at the order of Wu Zetian, and he himself is also a master-level master in Buddhism. Shicha Nantuo is a native of Khotan, who studied art in Tianzhu, came all the way to Middle Earth, preached the scriptures, and was left in the palace by Wu Zetian to translate Buddhist scriptures.

Wu Zetian has built an inner dojo in the palace, and the great monks who recruit Buddhism enter the palace from time to time to preach the scriptures, and invite several monks to translate the Buddhist scriptures here, especially for Wu Zetian and the emperor and civil and military officials.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the status of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism was ranked, because the Li Tang clan respected the ancestors of Laozi Li Dan, and ranked Taoism first, Confucianism second, and Buddhism last. Successive generations of eminent monks have written to the emperor to ask for a change in this order, even including a generation of eminent monks Master Xuanzang, but they were all rejected by the emperors. Nowadays, Wu Zetian respects Buddhism more than Taoism, and also has the intention of winning over Buddhism.

The order of the ranking of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is not only a battle of name and will, but also a huge battle of interests hidden inside. That faction in the front means that it is more respected by the emperor, and it can obtain hundreds of millions of riches and land. In the face of these things, the Buddhist sect, which is known as the four major emptiness, cannot be easily given up.

This is why many eminent monks have settled in the dojo in the palace, which actually shows that Buddhism is subject to the rule of Wu Zetian.

When everyone was retreating, the flood came, and it broke the temporary pontoon bridge not far upstream of the Tianjin Bridge, then submerged the altar, and then crashed into the Tianjin Bridge, washing away the bridge.

Tianjin Bridge is a pontoon bridge, not a solid stone bridge, and it cannot resist floods.

Fortunately, people ran away in advance, otherwise they would all be swept away by the flood if they hesitated, and there might be a few masters with martial arts skills who escaped, but the vast majority of civil officials would definitely have to die at the bottom of the river.

Everyone didn't care about sighing and escaping, and the raft carried many masters under the command of the "Hidden Dragon" and "Snake Spirit" to rush over and kill them.

Seeing the flood coming, the soldiers of the forbidden army in charge of the palace became confused and rushed forward desperately, making the scene even more chaotic.

At this time, the Shifting Greedy Khan and the others sensed the passage of the flood, and immediately rushed down from the boat and rushed towards the imperial city.

Li Duozuo saw that an enemy had been killed, and hurriedly commanded Yang Beifeng and other thousands of knights to greet him, shouting loudly for the forbidden soldiers and soldiers to resist together.

Yuan Xingchong, Li Rong and others took away five hundred soldiers, and the remaining soldiers were led by Yang Beifeng, and they were stationed not far from the altar in case of change. These soldiers were all reminded by Li Rong and others that they knew the news that the flood might be coming, and they did not panic when they saw the flood.

Li Ruoxue, Lin Qianyue and others took the lead and killed the masters around them.

The golden snake sword flickered, and it killed several thousand knights in an instant. The thick leather armor didn't work at all under the Golden Serpent's sword.

Lin Qianyue, Duodan, Pit Viper and others also each led a team of samurai to kill the forbidden soldiers, and the soldiers were embarrassed.

These people are all good hands in the rivers and lakes, and the people they carry are still grandmaster-level masters, and the soldiers of the forbidden army are not in a military formation due to chaos, and the combat effectiveness under the chaos is not good.

"Dang", a snow-bright long knife blocked Li Ruoxue's golden snake sword, and the general Quan Xiancheng was dressed in a military uniform and pulled out a long knife to block Li Ruoxue.

Among the generals of the forbidden army, Yiquan Xiancheng's martial arts are the highest, and he is a rare seven-rank grandmaster, and when he saw that Li Ruoxue had no one to deal with, he immediately rushed over to resist.

Yang Jingchen, the chamberlain, also rushed over, wielding a black short sword, and the almost translucent sword light stabbed at Lin Qianyue, blocking his progress.

Li Duozuo, Cheng Chubi and other generals of the twelve guards of the forbidden army were also armed with horizontal knives and spears to command the soldiers to kill them, trying to kill the strong enemy.

Most of the civil officials who ran in front were pale when they saw it, they had seen the battlefield fighting, and most of them were as pale as dirt, and they kept shrinking back, thanks to Wei Xuantong's loud shouting, they didn't flee in all directions.

Wu Zetian ordered to stop the imperial chariot and stood in the distance, staring at the movement in the field with a calm face.

There are many grandmaster-level masters on the snake spirit side, and the warriors around him are also good at the rivers and lakes, so that the forbidden soldiers can't help but retreat.

"Amitabha," a loud Buddha horn sounded throughout the audience, and two monks in purple robes rushed over.

The two figures flickered and came to the middle of the battlefield.

The kind-faced Fazang blocked Dodan, and the high-nosed and deep-eyed Solid Fork Nanda intercepted the pit viper.
