Chapter 201 Flood Beast II
Chapter 201: Flood Beast II
It is said that the Qiangyi tribe in the west of Qishan, its tribesmen are also wise, seeing the dark clouds hitting the sky, lightning and thunder, knowing that there will be a storm, they gathered the tribesmen in advance and moved to a higher and safer place.
The color of the dark clouds in the sky did not mean to become lighter, one after another lightning was slashing towards Qishan, and the deafening thunder followed, and now there was no one in Qishan City, only dozens of soldiers and Lan Qi'er were on the pass city wall, there was no chance to transfer it for a while, everyone could only watch the sky, hoping that the storm would pass early, and the loss of houses, cultivated land, and livestock would be smaller.
The power of nature is something that mortals can predict, this is the power that nature has accumulated around Qishan for a hundred years, and it can stop for a while!
The flood beast of Qishan finally appeared, and with the help of the violent storm and lightning and thunder, it broke off from the east, west, and north directions to Qishan, and its sound was huge, which attracted everyone's attention.
Lan Qi'er and the soldiers of Qishan can only see the mountain torrents on the northeast side for a while, and the Qiang people can see the mountain torrents on the northwest sides, and the flood beasts in the east mountains are weaker than the beasts in the north mountains, because the north mountains are mountains and mountains, and they are unattainable, which leads to the increase in the amount of rainfall, and a large amount of rain goes down the mountain, and the rain naturally contains a large amount of gravel and debris.
From top to bottom, the width of the mountain torrent is constantly increasing, the rolling wood thunder stone is constantly increasing, increasing, its driving force is strong and unstoppable, and the destructive force is manifested in an instant, although there is a primeval forest belt at the edge of the north mountain, but with the torrent rushing down, the huge inertia of the boulder and the rolling wood will push down a large number of trees at that time.
In this way, a barrier wall appeared at the edge of the primeval forest, and the flood instantly raised a good wave of dozens of meters, surging forward and advancing.
The boulder debris in the torrent is blocked by the primeval forest, and most of them have not been able to enter the edge of Qishan City, if there is no primeval forest and some small forest belts on the edge of Qishan City, what city walls, what residential houses, will definitely be pushed to the ground by the boulder rolling wood.
The water of the mountain flood is not blocked, the huge wave broke through the primeval forest in an instant, and rushed to the Qishan City and the Sa residential area, the destructive power is still there, the attached city wall can be destroyed a lot, some parts have collapsed, the Sa residential area is not blocked by the city wall, the houses are in ruins nine times out of ten, the houses in Qishan City are better, occasionally the roof is uncovered or the side of the house is washed down.
The waves of the flood were higher than all the houses, and they rushed towards the main wall of the pass, and the hearts of all the people on the city wall were really trembling, and the main city wall began to tremble under the beating of the flood beast, and for a time everyone was praying, praying that the main city wall could resist the beating of the flood beast, and no one knew that everyone on the city wall was safe.
Because the power of the flood beast lies in the things and impact force mixed in the flood, most of the boulders and debris mixed with the flood have been blocked by the primeval forest, and the impact force is seen at the main city wall of the pass, that is, the breakthrough force of the wave, the wave has passed, so now the flood is flowing, but the water level is higher for a while.
There have been flood channels in the mountains, the water has become canals, the ferocity is gone, the tribes in the west of Qishan are safe, but the houses, cultivated land and so on have become a ruin.
The torrential rain is a morning, the dark clouds over Qishan Mountain were finally blown away by the wind, the lightning and thunder disappeared, the mountain torrent beast did not have the help of wind, rain and thunder, the impact force was gone, the huge waves that slapped the city wall disappeared, the flood all over the mountains and fields will not go down for a while, but everyone saw the seven-colored rainbow over the west of Qishan, this rainbow is so bright and beautiful after the rain.
The sun came out from time to time, and the rainbow was contrasted, the water level in Qishan was decreasing over time, some hills, houses were already visible, the people saw it, and for a while they had the desire to go home quickly, but all the ministers did not get the imperial decree of the empress Lan Qier, and they could only stop it for a while, waiting for the emperor's order.
The sky above Qishan is bright, the sun is shining on the earth, and the rain all over the mountains is slowly receding.
The water at the pass of Qishan has not decreased at all, that is because the terrain here is the lowest, and Qishan City is one of the main outlets in the entire Qishan Mountain, resulting in the large flow of water here, the only difference is that the ferocity of the mountain torrent is gone, the flowing water has not changed much, and the things and sundries of the people's lives are occasionally flowing outside the pass with the flood.
Lan Qi'er and the others saw on the city wall of the pass that some of the people's materials flowed out of Qishan City with the flood and entered the upper reaches of the Peacock River.
The soldiers had the idea of tying themselves with ropes and falling from the city wall, so that they could salvage some of them and save some more supplies for the people.
Lan Qi'er saw the loss of materials on the city wall and the hearts of the soldiers to protect the people's materials, but she knew that after the heavy rain, there were no casualties among the people, which was already a great luck, and there was nothing as heavy as the lives of the soldiers and the people!
Lan Qi'er immediately issued an imperial order, all the soldiers on the city wall are not allowed to save the people's living materials without authorization, the materials are not important, the safety of the soldiers is the most important, all the soldiers on the city wall can only watch the people's materials flow out of the Qishan Pass for a while.
The high mountains on both sides of the pass have stopped injecting rainwater into the city, and Lan Qi'er knows that the amount of water stored in the mountain will soon decrease as the rainwater is discharged from the southeast direction, and the water level will definitely drop to the ground level immediately, and the low-lying land with some water accumulation is natural, so it will not affect the people to go home and clean up their homes.
Time passed minute by minute, more than half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, most of the rain withdrew from Qishan, almost all the city walls and houses were exposed on the ground level, and the vegetation of the hills and cultivated land was slowly revealed, and the scene full of desolation naturally appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The attached city wall was destroyed by the flood boulders, collapsed, the people's houses also partially collapsed and destroyed, the people's heavier materials can be seen everywhere, some poultry that did not come and moved died in the flood, the cultivated land vegetation is almost lodging, or blocking the waist or breaking from the roots, there is no possibility of ripe harvest, grain, grain!
The flood is really destructive, it can be powerful and threatening!
When the flood passed, Lan Qi'er's heart was sad, and she immediately gave the emperor's order, the people could go down the mountain, they could go home, and the horn on the city wall sounded.
The military generals heard the trumpet and got the emperor's order, that is, they allowed the people to run to Qishan City in an orderly manner and to their homes.
All the scenes in front of them are unacceptable to the people, and the hearts of General Lan and other personnel who have tested Qishan in advance are even heavier, and they all think that this disaster is their own responsibility, and the temptation is not detailed enough, which has led to defects in the construction of the city and the lack of flood control infrastructure.
This storm is a once-in-a-century occurrence in the Qishan region, especially in the desert area, which is really unpredictable and unimaginable.
The people have begun to be busy, and they have entered the stage of cleaning and repairing, all the ministers have gathered in the court, and the court meeting has begun.
General Lan and the tempters who entered Qishan in advance entered the court without receiving the holy decree and the emperor's order, and they all knelt on the court with General Lan on their own initiative, and without anyone accusing them, they were clearly asking for guilt.
Before Lan Qi'er entered the court, she didn't wait for the eunuch to shout that the emperor had arrived, and she spoke with her entourage, and all matters in the court were exempted, and before the words fell, Lan Qi'er had already walked to the highest point of the court, and all the ministers stood on the wet ground, only General Lan and others knelt on the wet ground.
General Lan Da and the others saw that Lan Qi'er had already stood at the highest place in the court, and said in unison: The minister has failed my emperor's mission, causing the people to suffer such a disaster, please ask my emperor to condemn him!
Only then did Lan Qi'er see more than 20 people kneeling on the ground, it turned out to be her father and his subordinates, the family members and clansmen who were not afraid of life and death to test the residence of Qishan, so she said: Aiqing, I am convinced that this torrential rain and flood disaster should be accidental, and now it is not who should be responsible.
I want you to get up, because you are the most familiar with the situation in Qishan, and you have also witnessed the flash flood situation this time, I want you to immediately come up with a plan to deal with the flash flood, and use your wisdom to complete the mission that should be completed, this is what the people need most, okay, get up, I am waiting for the result, you wait to go down first, think about it!
General Lan knew the meaning of Lan Qi'er's holy decree and knew that this responsibility was a great responsibility, and there could be no accidents, so he took more than 20 subordinates to thank the empress and ran directly to all parts of Qishan Mountain, and began to redesign and plan the flood control embankment.
The drawings slowly appeared with the research and scrutiny of the people, and the amount of work can be said to be incalculable, the emphasis is on the effect, and the emphasis is on ensuring the living conditions of the people and the safety of materials!
