Chapter 269: Blow It Up!
It was already late at night, and a sudden gust of wind blew thick dark clouds with raindrops. In an instant, clouds covered the whole world, the torrential rain poured down, and the water surged violently and quickly overflowed the embankment.
"Quick! The water is flooding! ”
The night watchman immediately noticed that the water had suddenly increased dramatically and overflowed the embankment, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
Da Da Da ......
The huge raindrops fell directly on people's faces, and all the rough men who were resting in the curtain were awakened, and even those who were sleeping were woken up by the movement heard next to them, but in a moment, everyone moved.
Luo Lingzhi and Bai Wulan had long been prepared for the rise of Luoshui.
"Ling Qing, immediately lead someone to pile sandbags on the embankment."
After Luo Lingzhi instructed Bai Lingqing to act according to the plan, he turned his head to find Bai Wulan.
The rain and fog were blown around by the wind in the night, and the wind was so strong that people almost couldn't stand still. Luo Lingzhi saw that Bai Wulan had already climbed the embankment, and immediately walked forward.
"Mother, will Luoshui overflow?"
Luo Dabao, who was temporarily placed by her to get along with Luo Cheng, also came over, looking at the surging Luo Shui with worried eyes, frowning, "Dabao is worried, I want to go over with my mother." ”
As he spoke, Luo Dabao took the initiative to hold his mother's hand.
Luo Lingzhi looked at his son's firm eyes, and he really couldn't refuse, "Okay." My mother took Dabao to see how everyone worked hard to survive in the face of the raging flood! No matter how great the danger is, people cannot completely accept their fate, and they must have a brave and fearless spirit of resistance! ”
Dabao has always had his own ideas, and Luo Lingzhi knows very well that he is different from Nannan. will also do his best to teach Luo Dabao more things, and this experience in it is not something that can be given in books.
On the embankment, Bai Wulan had already instructed the generals of the garrison to organize everyone else to move, and tens of thousands of people carrying sandbags quickly came and went to the embankment, and there was a lot of noise.
"Wulan, when will we be able to completely stop this water potential?"
Luo Lingzhi led Luo Dabao to Bai Wulan's side.
Bai Wulan turned around and saw Luo Dabao coming over, he couldn't help frowning, and said eagerly: "This rain is falling too quickly, and the Luo water is even deeper, only under this embankment is several zhang deep, and the wind is fierce. Luo Niangzi, how did you bring Dabao, it's too dangerous? ”
If something happens, it won't be as simple as hundreds of thousands of people in Sichuan City facing danger.
"Mr. Bai, don't blame my mother, it was Dabao who begged my mother to bring me over. Dabao wants to see what we should do in the face of the catastrophe of almost annihilation, although Dabao can't help everyone solve the problem in this situation, but also wants to stand here with his mother to cheer everyone up! ”
Luo Dabao stood on the embankment, saluted Bai Wulan, and said this very solemnly.
Bai Wulan couldn't help but hold Luo Dabao's hand, slightly excited, "That Dabao take a good look, how small people are in front of nature, but how they gather and twist with this small force." ”
Luo Lingzhi, who was automatically ignored, rolled her eyes, obviously she opened her mouth to ask, obviously Bai Wulan was full of eyes and only had Dabao, and walked forward speechlessly to speak again, "This rain is estimated to be three or five days in a row, and more people need to be sent to inspect after the levee is raised tonight, and all the sandbags prepared earlier are stacked under the embankment, it is estimated that it can only cope with these days." What's next for you? ”
"Luo Niangzi."
Bai Wulan's eyebrows were slightly raised, slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't let go of Luo Dabao's hand, and said seriously: "Xie Yi has finalized the specific method of dredging the southeast waterway, and he will follow him to the river tomorrow." The waterways within 20 miles outside the city are all dredged, that is, except for the widest waterway and the waterway blocked by the mountain road in the east, the other waterways will flow through the hinterland of Chuancheng from the southeast plain, and only one dredged waterway is not enough to drain the Luoshui that flooded into the embankment, so the Luoshui must not be allowed to overflow the embankment before the eastern waterway is dredged. ”
Luo Lingzhi nodded, "The eastern waterways are all dredged, but they can divide most of the floods that pour in. Where is the eastern waterway dug now? ”
"In the afternoon, I came to report that it was less than three miles away from Gushan, and I should dig into the valley as soon as possible."
Luo Lingzhi thought about the terrain he had seen before, and frowned slightly, "Then more than ten miles ahead, you will have to blow up the mountain." ”
"If you don't change your course, it will be so."
Bai Wulan naturally knew clearly, thinking of the hidden cave that had been found, and asked: "Saltpeter can be found, I asked Bai Lingqing, the place has been found, just wait for Zhao Feihu to come over to develop black powder." ”
As he was talking, someone from behind him hurriedly came looking for him.
"Boss!"
"Saltpeter Mine Found!"
The drenched discoverer held the saltpeter and said excitedly to Luo Lingzhi, and after finishing speaking, he realized that he had followed Zhao Feihu in the valley and mountain for three or four days, and he was full of embarrassment, not to mention the smell of being rancid, and subconsciously retreated for fear that he had offended Luo Niangzi like this.
The person who came was covered with the smell of sweat, but Luo Lingzhi was surprised, took the saltpeter from his hand, patted his arm, and was extremely happy, "I really let you find it!" That's great! This will be remembered by you. ”
After being excited, Luo Lingzhi asked for details again, and after making sure that the amount of saltpeter in the mine was sufficient, he immediately asked Bai Lingqing to bring hundreds of people with coarse cloth bags to carry the saltpeter back.
Before dawn, the overflow of Luoshui was finally under control.
Sandbags were stacked nearly three feet high.
Looking at the Luo Shui, which was still rising, Luo Lingzhi knew that he didn't have time to wait, so he turned his head and said to Bai Wulan: "I'll go and freeze the valley today, and then burn the mountain with fire, you should pay more attention to the situation here." ”
"Since you want to set fire to the mountain, if you want to burn the mountain stone in such a heavy rainy weather, you must pour black paint oil, and the water and fire are not compatible, otherwise it will be difficult to burn. However, once the black paint oil is ignited, the fire is violent, and it is necessary to consider the possibility of spreading to the surrounding area, and it is necessary to prevent the surrounding mountains and forests from being burned in advance. ”
Bai Wulan had already taken these situations into account when Luo Lingzhi said that he was preparing to bomb the valley.
At this time, he put forward his own opinion, "Luo Niangzi, now that the situation of Luoshui flooding the embankment has been controlled, it is better to cut down all the trees near the valley blocking the waterway, and clean up all the vegetation, so as to form an isolation zone to control the fire within an range." ”
"That's fine, you'll tell me when the barrier is cleared soon."
Luo Lingzhi nodded, and let Bai Wulan order the specific arrangements. She held an umbrella and walked to the boat with Dabao with her head down, ready to rest for a while, and after Bai Wulan's side was dealt with, she would immediately go to the frozen mountain rock.
