Chapter 345: The wind and rain are raging, and the eyes are in a hurry
Not much. Hoop
The soldiers of the king battalion once again rode the wind and whipped up.
Walk on a road full of mud.
Straight to the southwest.
At this time, although the rain is low.
But it was not enough to have much influence on the soldiers of Wang Daying.
Not to mention.
At this time, although the sky is dark, you can still distinguish things. Hoop
If you don't rush to march at this time.
When the rain is rapid, the sky is dark.
If you want to march quickly, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
On a rapid march.
Xu Yi held the reins in his hands with both hands, and his legs clamped the horse's belly from time to time.
As a result, the war horse under the crotch always maintains a galloping attitude.
At this time, Xu Yi didn't care at all whether such a rapid march would pose a danger to the war horse. Hoop
For its part.
Nowadays, the safety of the three cities of Yanjing, Panxian and Xialuo has long been greater than everything.
"Click."
Two quarters of an hour later, a flash of lightning flashed across the darkening sky.
The moment the lightning passed, the heavens and the earth seemed to be daylight.
"Boom."
After counting the interest. Hoop
A muffled thunderbolt exploded above the black clouds.
It sounded like a clarion call for an attack.
With the sound of thunder, it completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
The raindrops, which had been sparse, instantly became rapid.
Wang Daying in the army.
Xu Yi felt the oncoming raindrops the size of soybeans.
My heart couldn't help but get colder. Hoop
"Herald striker Xin Sixuan!"
"Wait for the rain to catch up! When your vision is blurred!"
"The army slows down, rest in place!"
Xu Yi frowned and quickly looked at the herald beside him.
"Obey!"
Hearing this, the herald Wang Jingbo hurriedly replied loudly.
The words fell. Hoop
Wang Jingbo took out the whip from the horse's ventral pocket as if he were dying.
"Smack!"
An unusually shrill whip sounded after.
Under the pain of Wang Jingbo's crotch, the speed of the war horse increased a little like an arrow from the string in an instant.
Meanwhile.
A flash of lightning once again streaked across the gloomy sky.
Two quarters of an hour later. Hoop
Heavy rain fell from the sky.
The soldiers of Wang Daying, who were running wildly on the road of the northeast wind, finally gradually slowed down.
Finally, after more than a quarter of an hour, he completely stopped in the wilderness.
Xu Yi rolled over from the horse with a little difficulty.
Immediately quickly and massively get up around the environment.
It's a pity.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the surrounding terrain could still be seen clearly. Hoop
"Sixth Master."
Just when Xu Yi closed his eyes and silently estimated the itinerary.
Yang Xian'an held a coat in his hand and walked hard against the wind and cold rain.
"It doesn't have to be that way."
Xu Yi opened his eyes with difficulty in the storm, and then waved his hand slightly.
"The wind is heavy and the rain is cold, the sixth master still wears some good."
Yang Xian'an walked with difficulty and bowed deeply. Hoop
"Order the guards to form a circular war horse formation to shelter from the wind and rain."
Xu Yi waved his hand again, and then ordered.
See here.
Yang Xian was relieved, so he no longer insisted, and then bowed and said, "Obey!"
Not much.
One round horse after another quickly appeared in the wilderness.
The so-called circular war horse formation. Hoop
That is, a small number of soldiers live in the center of the circle, surrounded by war horses.
Outside the war horse, there are several times the number of troops, and then the war horse surrounds.
This array
Similar to the car formation.
It's just that the vehicle has been replaced with a war horse.
The only drawback of this array is that the horses are living creatures, not dead creatures like chariots.
At this time, a circular war horse formation was in the center.
Xu Yi, Yang Xian'an, Gu Dengyun, Wang Jingbo and others all squatted on the belly of the horse. Hoop
While enduring the continuous splashing of soil, he continued to soothe the war horse above his head.
I don't know how long it took.
Maybe it's an hour or two.
Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.
The dirt that was constantly splashing on the ground suddenly plummeted in half.
"It's raining lightly! It's raining lightly!"
"It's raining lightly! Come out and see!" Hoop
"It's finally raining less! The heavens have eyes!"
Don't wait for Xu Yi and the others to drill out of the horse's belly.
The periphery of the circular war horse formation suddenly erupted in bursts of cheers.
"Assemble the army! Let's go!"
Xu Yi came out of the horse's belly and said with a stern expression.
At this time, although the rain is slowing down, the wind is also stopping.
But it was dark. Hoop
Marching without torch lighting.
The pace is bound to slow down considerably.
"Obey!"
Yang Xian'an, Gu Dengyun, Wang Jingbo and others responded in unison when they heard this.
Not much.
The army set out again.
If the previous speed is compared to an arrow off the string. Hoop
Then the speed of travel at this time is like that of a snail.
"Report!"
The march was not long.
Suddenly, a horse came speeding ahead.
"Let him in."
Xu Yi's brows furrowed instantly when he heard this, and unfavorable factors such as mudslides unconsciously appeared in his mind.
"Lord Qiqi!" Hoop
"There's a big convoy up ahead."
The herald turned his horse's head, clasped his fists and saluted, and slowly followed.
"There's a big fleet?"
Xu Yi's eyelids lowered slightly when he heard this.
If it's correct.
The convoy of the big family must have come from the city.
And Xin Sixuan, who was at the head of the team, ordered someone to report, obviously wanting to ...... Hoop
"How many cars are there?" How many people?"
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Go back to the prince."
"There are 31 cars in the convoy, and there are more than 200 people."
The herald clenched his fists again.
"Herald Xin Sixuan."
"Except for the clothes." Hoop
"For the rest, all flammable things such as cloth will be requisitioned."
"Gold, silver, paintings, antiques and other objects are not allowed to be moved."
"All things that are requisitioned shall be written and handed over to the owner of the household."
"And inform it that after the catastrophe is completely resolved, you can take the large order to the Yanwang Mansion for conversion."
Xu Yi sighed for a few breaths, and then ordered in a deep voice.
"Obey!"
The herald saluted again with his fists clenched, and then went out in the dark. Hoop
About two quarters of an hour.
Flames erupted in front of the army.
Meanwhile.
The speed of the vanguard led by Xin Sixuan suddenly increased.
Two quarters of an hour.
When Xu Yi and the others walked to the bonfire.
I saw dozens of soldiers of the Wang battalion standing around the bonfire, constantly making torches. Hoop
And not far from dozens of soldiers, there stood several trembling figures in brocade robes.
Xu Yi looked intently.
One of them was the head of the He family of Yanwang who had gone to the Yanwang Mansion on the first day of the first month to worship the wind and rain and thunder altar.
Xu Yi shook his head slightly, and then stopped caring about him.
After receiving a torch from Yang Xian'an's hand.
Immediately followed the front army and slowly increased speed.
...... Hoop
......
It's almost time.
It was pitch dark.
After a torrential rain, the barren hillside was full of messes.
Xu Zhenggui sat alone beside a rock.
His eyes glazed his gaze at the clusters of torches below like morning stars.
Looking down from the halfway point of the hill. Hoop
Countless figures could be seen lying quietly around the torch.
His ears were filled with the sound of the increasingly violent water.
"No. ...... The first wave of total ......"
"Total ...... I finally resisted."
I don't know how long it took.
Xu Zhenggui suddenly staggered up from the rock.
"Help me to send those warriors." Hoop
Xu Zhenggui walked with difficulty towards several officials not far away.
God knows when the rainstorm starts.
Xu Zhenggui was so desperate in his heart.
The Sanggan River in front of him was like a wild beast, frantically pounding the embankment.
If it weren't for the fact that the people of the city would have tried their best to strengthen the embankment.
I am afraid that at this time, the city has become an ocean.
Just over an hour. Hoop
Hundreds of young and strong officials, soldiers, and people died alive.
One can imagine how urgent the situation was at that time.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
When Xu Zhenggui completely walked out of the barren mountain and halfway up the mountain.
Not far away, there was a sudden sound of exclamation from the embankment.
"Eastern Section! Eastern Section! Come to the eastern sector!"
"What about people! Don't cry if you're a straight girl! Hurry up and come to the eastern section! The eastern section is about to burst!" Hoop
"Hurry! Hurry up! I can't hold it anymore!"
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Hurry up!"
In just a few tens of breaths.
The nearby embankment was once again a mess.
Countless officials, soldiers, and people dragged their tired bodies forward one after another towards the eastern section!
"Western Sector! Come to the Western Sector!"
"Hurry up and get some! The western section is about to burst!" Hoop
"Straight sissy thief! Who blocked the western section! Why can't you hold on for half a day!"
"Stop complaining! Hurry up! Hurry up! It's all over if you don't come back!"
"Hurry up! Come on! Everyone's wives and children are behind them! After a little more ink, there's nothing left!"
Just when Xu Zheng was about to go to the eastern section.
There is another problem in the western section!
It's a disaster!
"What time is it?" Hoop
At the foot of the barren mountain, Xu Zhenggui paused and closed his eyes in despair.
"Return to the county order."
"It's about a long time."
The official beside him trembled all over.
"戌...... That's a lot of time."
"Yet...... There is still more than an hour!"
"Tell everyone! Hold on for another hour!" Hoop
"Just hold on for another hour!"
"Then His Royal Highness King Yan's army will be able to arrive."
"Then everyone will be saved!"
Xu Zhenggu took a few deep breaths, and then cheered up.
"Big ...... Adults.....
"One ...... More than an hour ......."
"Swallow...... Can His Royal Highness King Yan really arrive?" Hoop
The officials around him turned pale, and they trembled and muttered.
It seems to be asking, but it is more like asking yourself.
"Yes!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan said he could arrive! convenient
I'm sure I'll be there!"
"Dare to talk nonsense again! I have plucked out your tongue!"
Xu Zhenggui Huo Ran turned around and looked at the official beside him with an angry face.
He didn't know that if it hadn't been for the sudden heavy rain, Xu Yi would have been able to arrive around midnight. Hoop
Now it's raining heavily.
Don't say around midnight.
Even if the dawn comes, it will not be easy.
But how could he tell the truth to the people of the city?
"Well, you can last as long as you can."
"What can we do now but obey the destiny of heaven?"
Xu Zhenggui thought secretly with bitterness in his heart. Hoop
"Yes...... It's ........"
"Genus...... The subordinates will go here and this."
Hearing this, the official unconsciously shrank his neck, and then pulled himself together and walked slowly towards the embankment.
It's not that they don't want to be fast.
It was really under the continuous running order, and it was already exhausted.
"You ...... Go and help at the embankment."
Xu Zhenggui took a few deep breaths of cold air again, and then turned to look at the few remaining servants behind him. Hoop
"I...... Here we went, you ...... What are you going to do......." said a servant with a worried face.
"Yes, my lord, we went, what are you going to do?"
"Your Excellency, let us stay here and protect you."
"My lord, where are you, my Li Hutou is there."
Hearing this, the other officials hurriedly agreed.
"Go! It's an order!"
"When this official went to Beijing ten years to catch the exam, he carried dozens of pounds of books on his back, and he was able to deal with dozens of thieves unharmed." Hoop
"Where can I get your protection?!"
"Hurry up! If you talk nonsense, this official will dismiss you first!"
Xu Zhenggui cheered up and scolded loudly.
The words fell.
Several officials glanced at each other when they saw this.
In the end, I had no choice but to say, "Obey!"
After the figures of several officials completely disappeared from sight. Hoop
Xu Zhenggui was as if he had been drained of all his energy.
In the end, I couldn't hold on to the strong tiredness caused by my body and mind.
He sat on the muddy ground.
Nearly two quarters of an hour passed.
Xu Zhenggui came to his senses a little.
"Why hasn't His Royal Highness King Yan come yet?"
"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan really can't hold on anymore." Hoop
"There are also Hou County Orders and Zhu County Orders, where have you been."
"How's the shovels, pickaxes, sacks, etc., ready?"
"You ...... Why haven't you come yet......
Xu Zhenggui was dumbfounded, and he struggled to get up from the muddy ground.
Staggered towards the embankment.
However, after walking dozens of steps, his steps were unsteady and he fell to the ground again.
Don't wait for it to get up again. Hoop
Suddenly, a bright light lit up in the sky again.
After counting the interest.
A muffled thunder exploded in the sky again.
"Thief...... Thief God!"
"...... 雊瞀城...... What a sin the people of the city!"
"How can you ...... Do you do this to me...... Wait for me to get rid of the people of the city!"
Xu Zhenggui sat slumped on the ground, his face suddenly crazy and hideous. Hoop
Yang Tian scolded angrily.
"Click!"
"Boom!"
As if in response to its great rebellion, the heavens rained down several bolts of lightning and thunder.
"Phew! Sigh! Phew!"
Meanwhile.
A galloping official hurriedly used all his strength to stop the fast horse in his crotch. Hoop
dangerously avoided Xu Zhenggui, who was sitting on the ground.
If it weren't for the lightning and thunder.
I am afraid that Xu Zhenggui has already died completely under the hooves of the galloping horse.
"Your Excellency! The river embankment in Hejia Town is in an emergency! Please send reinforcements quickly!"
The official jumped off his horse and shouted with a frightened face on his face.
"What! Hejia Town River Embankment is in an Emergency ?!!!"
Xu Zhenggui got his strength out of nowhere, and got up from the ground with a bone. Hoop
"Your Excellency! The river embankment in Hejia Town is in an emergency! Please send reinforcements quickly!"
When the official heard this, he had to repeat it loudly again.
The words fell.
Without waiting for Xu Zhenggui to react, several fast horses came quickly from the darkness.
"Lord Kaiyu! Wangjiatun River embankment is in an emergency! There is a possibility of a levee burst at any time! I hope that the Lord will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"Lord Kaiyu! The embankment of Mengzhuang Township is in an emergency! The people rushed to the river, but it was still useless, and I hope that the adults will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"Lord Qiyu, He Shui Town has burst its embankment! The people have suffered heavy casualties!" Hoop
"Lord Qiyu, the embankment of the river in Ziliu Township is urgent, and the embankment may burst at any time! I hope that the Lord will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
One after another, emergency disasters continued to rush towards Xu Zhenggui like sharp arrows.
It made Xu Zhenggui's body stagger, as if he would completely fall to the ground at any time.
The embankments are in a hurry, and there is a possibility that the embankments may burst at any time.
A river embankment has burst.
Everybody's asking for someone from him!
Who can he ask for?! Hoop
