Volume 1 Travels Chapter 35 Blocking the Breach
Looking at the army passing in front of him, Zhang Fan was silent. Soldiers know their duties and have the courage to take on them, which is not something that the army of any dynasty can do. At least before he came to this world, he had only heard that the army that founded the country had done it, and then it slowly decayed.
But there were two teams in front of him who did it, and their leading officials consciously asked for orders.
After thinking about it, Zhang Fan discussed it with Qiyue. Lifted the stealth technique, released the flying sword, and hurried towards the sword in the direction of Dongguo Village. He wished he had arrived sooner and tried not to let the gap widen.
The rain was still very strong, like a pour, and it was impossible to see at a distance of more than ten zhang. Zhang Fan looked down while holding his sword, looking for the river Weishui.
A journey of one hundred and ten miles, under Zhang Fan's eagerness, finally flew to Weishui after half an hour. Then walk along the embankment to find the place where the embankment breaks.
When Zhang Fan finally found the place where the embankment broke, he couldn't help but be surprised, the gap in the embankment had reached seven or eight zhang, and it continued to expand.
The Weishui River is about 50 or 60 zhang wide, and it is an above-ground river, where the river water surges, scouring and overturning the soil on the embankment, and from time to time the soil on the embankment is washed away, resulting in the gap expanding.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Fan said to Qi Yue: "This break is not something that the two of us can block, we have to wait for the arrival of the people from the Bingfeng Battalion, now let's use ice arrows to strengthen both sides of the river embankment breach, try to delay time, and try not to let the gap expand again." ”
Qiyue said: "Senior brother's words are reasonable, I'll go to the side of the break." With that, he put away his sword and floated to the other side of the breach to begin to cast an ice archery spell, solidifying the collapsing riverbank.
Zhang Fan also started to cast a spell on the other side of the rupture, but the water flow was very fast, and the ice archery technique was dispersed by the water flow after releasing a few breaths, and Zhang Fan had to make up for an ice archery technique again after a few breaths.
While anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Bingfeng Battalion, Zhang Fan cast the Ice Arrow Technique, and was still looking for the spells in his memory to see if there were more suitable spells. It's just that the petrification technique requires the cultivation of the Jindan period to be practiced, and the earth stabbing technique has not been learned by itself, and according to the treasure book, the earth stabbing technique consumes spiritual power very much, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue if I can only release two or three, and what else can I use.
Suddenly, Zhang Fan saw the poplar forest in the direction of Dongguo Village that was soaking in the flood, most of the trees were straight, and the branches that were exposed to the water were at least a few feet long. Zhang Fan was overjoyed, and once again released the flying sword and flew towards the woods not far away.
Flying above the woods, with a pinch of the spell, the flying sword cut off a poplar tree from under the water, wrapped the trunk with both hands, and floated to the place where the river embankment breached, but it was just an ability to float in the air for his own use, and he floated to the river embankment with the poplar tree, Zhang Fan consumed at least one-tenth of his spiritual power, and Zhang Fan was shocked to know that he might not be able to bring a few tree trunks.
It's just that now is not the time to take care of mana, Zhang Fan directly used the flying sword again to cut off the trunk of the tree, and cut a long sharp point at the tip, and then floated to the top of the side of the embankment with the long poplar trunk.
I saw Zhang Fan fly three or four zhang above the embankment with the poplar trunk, turn around and hug the trunk tightly, aim at the already precarious embankment on the edge of the breach, and rush down vertically from the air.
Hearing a loud bang, the water splashed, the soil flew, Zhang Fan held the poplar trunk and rushed directly into the water, the poplar trunk was deeply inserted into the mud, leaving only the roots above the water surface.
Zhang Fan flew out of the water with difficulty, shook his dizzy head that was hit by the impact, ignored the muddy water all over his body, looked at the stump in front of him, and then flew towards the poplar forest again.
Seeing Zhang Fan's movements, Qiyue couldn't help asking, "Senior brother, are you out of the way, are you injured?" ”
Zhang Fan replied: "It's okay, senior sister, you can strengthen the rupture on both sides with ice archery, and I will insert a few more stumps, and I can wait for the people from the Bingfeng Battalion to arrive." After saying that, he continued to fly his sword and cut down the poplar tree.
Zhang Fan cut off a poplar tree again, hugged it and floated to the direction where Qiyue was, cut off the branch again to cut it sharp, and then stuck the branch in the soil at the edge of the break from the air. It's just that this time Zhang Fan changed his way, not holding the weight, but stepping on the trunk with his feet to speed it up after aiming in the direction, so that at least he wouldn't be embarrassed.
When Zhang Fan inserted the sixth poplar tree at a half-foot interval at the breach, the people of the Bingfeng Battalion finally arrived. At this time, Zhang Fan was already a little unrelenting, and his spiritual power was already one in ten, and he was wondering why the Bingfeng Battalion had not yet arrived.
Each of them was carrying something on his back, whether it was a boulder, or a mud bag, or a tree trunk, and it seemed that they were not without reason in their delays.
The current person was covered in mud and carrying two mud bags on his back, and from his figure, he was the Luo Baijiang he had seen in the mansion before.
I saw that Luo Baijiang saw Zhang Fan blocking the breach, and he was not polite when he walked forward, and put the sandbag on the ground with both hands.
After looking at the situation at the embankment, the embankment mouth was only seven or eight zhang, which was much smaller than the dozen zhang he expected, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and first threw the leafy branches that Zhang Fan had cut off and threw them at the stump where Zhang Fan inserted them to block the water, and then said to the deputy general that after proceeding with the second plan, he walked to Zhang Fan who was standing aside.
General Luo Bai walked in front of Zhang Fan and said: "In Xia Luo Cheng, the hundred generals of the Bingfeng Battalion, I don't know what the immortal master is called, and which woman is with him over there?" ”
Zhang Fan said politely: "In the next Zhang Fan, Senior Sister Yu has traveled here, and she has already heard of Luo Cheng and Luo Baijiang, it is really better to meet than to be famous." Fortunately, I will be honored. After the polite words were finished, the conversation changed and said: "I don't know what kind of process the hundred generals have for this arrangement to block the break." ”
Luo Baijiang sighed and said: "What else can I do, that is, learn from Mr. to insert the pile, and then use the branches and debris to block the stumps, and then pave it with mountain rocks and soil." This has been the case since ancient times, unless a high-ranking monk can make the gap in the ice of the great mana, or pile up earth to form an embankment. ”
Zhang Fan could only sigh after hearing this, and said: "Then it all depends on the soldiers of the Bingfeng Battalion, my spiritual power consumption is huge, and I can't shoot again in a short time, and the rest can only rely on you." ”
General Luo Baijiang also sighed and said: "This time, it is all up to Brother Zhang to strengthen the river embankment first, so that the breach will not continue to expand, if it is not for Brother Zhang, this river embankment will at least expand a few zhang." The rest of Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about it, just leave it to my Bingfeng Battalion. After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he left, and began to instruct the people from the rear to insert the stump on their backs into the breach, spread the branches and stones, and finally cover it with soil.
Zhang Fan slowly retreated to the surface of the water, floating by the buoyancy of the water, while meditating to recover his spiritual power, while everyone in the Bingfeng Battalion blocked the interface.
I saw the people carrying the trunk of the soldier battalion lining up in turn, and Luo Cheng stood one meter out of the duel with his back to the duel, his legs into a horse step, his hands stretched down on the crotch to cross each other, and the palms were facing up, and when the person carrying the trunk in front of him ran to step on Luo Cheng's palms, Luo Cheng's arms wrestled, and the future people were thrown into the air more than three feet high.
The person who was thrown turned over in the air, hugged the trunk and rushed straight down to the predetermined position, and after a loud bang, the trunk was inserted into the river, and the person in the river was swept away by the water. Then he went ashore in the distance where the current was not urgent, and ran to the embankment again, smiling along the way, greeting the people in line behind, and the people in line were laughing and laughing.
Zhang Fan doesn't admire it, the skill of these people in blocking the breakthrough and the attitude of these people towards life are not as good as himself.
