"My lord, the wind is getting stronger, shall we avoid it?" The wind mixed with the torrential rain hit the people, and people felt a burst of soreness. Looking at the trees on the road that were blown down by the wind, the guards were worried that Chen Sheng would make a mistake, and they all dissuaded Chen Sheng from continuing to move forward.

"The wind and rain will only get stronger and stronger, and you can't hide from it." Chen Sheng took a deep breath and said loudly: "Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the river embankment are all working in this kind of weather at this time, and I am worried about this and that even when I am in a hurry, what kind of system is it?" ”

Ignoring the dissuasion of the guards, Chen Sheng rode his horse forward. But the wind and rain were heavy, and the road was muddy, the horses did not listen to the call, and it was difficult to walk, no matter how Chen Sheng instigated, the horses still did not run fast.

......An old tree next to the road fell down violently, almost hitting Chen Sheng's group, and the horses were frightened and almost overturned Chen Sheng to the ground. Chen Sheng's mount was not a good horse in the first place, and after being frightened, he was even more reluctant to move forward, which made Chen Sheng very helpless.

"Livestock!" Chen Sheng scolded secretly: "When the sky clears, I have to kill you!" Looking around, Chen Sheng was shocked again: "It seems that this typhoon has landed." "According to Chen Sheng's experience, before a typhoon comes, the clues that can be felt are generally not particularly serious winds, and it is full of ten, but if it is a typhoon that suddenly appears without warning, it is all fatal, at least it is twelve, and if it is not good, it is often a super hurricane of more than fifteen.

If this kind of super hurricane is encountered, then this Minzhong County will be in big trouble! Not to mention the various problems after the disaster, how can the river embankment be defended in such extreme weather?

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng was even more burned, eager to grow a pair of wings and fly to the embankment.

The horses were frightened by the hurricane and were unwilling to continue, so Chen Sheng and his guards had to dismount and rush forward on this muddy road. Chen Sheng's body was strong, and the guards were all extremely martial, and the speed of rushing in this mud was not much slower than that of horses.

In the midst of this storm, the torches have long been extinguished. Fortunately, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, and the palpitating lightning resounded in the sky with a loud noise, and at the same time, it also illuminated the way.

didn't wait for Chen Sheng to run far, but he met Qi Long and others who led the army out of the barracks. Gong Wei Dongye City at the same time shocked the soldiers of the two major military camps in the east and west of Minzhong County, and all of them were transferred by Chen Sheng's order.

As soon as Chen Sheng saw the dragon, he shouted loudly: "Dragon, what about Huo?" ”

"Lord Juncheng has gone to Xiying to transfer troops, just behind us!" The dragon opened his mouth, and when he spoke, a lot of rain slapped into his mouth, and when he spoke, his voice was a little unsharp.

Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers who were covered in robes, but were already wet, Chen Sheng's heart was a little relieved, and he calmed down and said: "Hurry up to the embankment, and hand over the eight people to Xu Wugui!" Walk! ”

……

With the increase of the storm. The hearts of the workers on the embankment also sank. The workers did not know the consequences of the dam collapse, but they knew that if the dam was destroyed, they would be the first to be drowned by the rising floodwaters.

The storm shows no signs of stopping. On the contrary, it seems that this storm is really showing its might at this moment. As the wind grows stronger, the water in the river turns into huge waves and hits the embankment. The rumbling sound of impact, every sound made Xu Wugui feel terrified. Thunder erupted, and lightning swept overhead from time to time, making everyone tremble. Many workers on the embankment already know that the "wind platform" that attacks them every year is coming. And it came so without warning. Many people wanted to put down their work and want to escape to other places to hide, but they found that the entrance and exit were heavily guarded, and they were not allowed to enter or leave. If you want to force your way out, the weapons in the hands of those soldiers greet people clearly, and they will never be polite. Seeing this, the workers with different thoughts had no choice but to retreat to the construction site, not daring to rush to their posts in vain to die.

Xu Wugui's voice was already a little hoarse. He kept instructing the workers on how to strengthen the embankment, blocking the areas that had been festered by the river, and watching the sand, gravel and timber keep pouring over the embankment, and some of the danger was relieved, and he felt more relieved.

But as the water level rose further, Xu Wugui's tense nerves were a little unbearable.

"My lord, you need to bring someone over quickly!" Xu Wugui shouted in his heart. On both sides of the river, there are still more than 60,000 workers and soldiers. This may seem like a lot, but more than 30,000 people are cut off on the other side. Now the river is raging, the bridge has long been washed away by the flood peak, and if you want to come over, you have to take a detour and walk dozens of miles, which will not play any role in a short time. There are still more than 20,000 workers guarding the embankment, but more than 20,000 people are scattered on the embankment, which is nearly ten miles long, taking care of the dangers that occur everywhere. In the place where Xu Wugui personally commanded, there were no more than 10,000 people.

Compared with the large area where the dam burst has been extended to nearly three miles long, the investment of 10,000 people is too little. Nearly half of the people were used to transport the stone and timber alone. Admittedly, the materials that have been shipped are still far from sufficient. It's not just that there aren't enough materials, it's also not enough manpower. A large number of wooden piles were originally used to drive into the ground of the embankment, which was then filled with lime mixed with sand, gravel and earth to build the embankment, but at this time, the timber was improvised into rudimentary wooden fences, which were then filled with earth and stones, and then rolled into the river near the dam burst.

This move was purely out of desperation. With insufficient manpower, Xu Wugui was only able to repair the dam failure to a limited extent in some places, while in many more places, he had to rely on blockages to solve the problem.

"The dam has breached...... "I don't know where a panicked and desperate roar came from. When Xu Wugui heard this, he trembled, and then shouted: "What's the panic, just plug the gap!" What is there to be afraid of! "On top of the embankment, there was already a place where the rising water level had been breached, and the flood swept away many workers who were on it in an instant.

Xu Wugui separated everyone and soon appeared near the dam collapse.

It was a not-so-small opening, about twenty meters wide, and the muddy flood seemed to have found an inclination, and a huge stream of water poured out from here, and under the washing of the current, the scope of the dam was expanding!
