Chapter 185: Earthquake
"Your Majesty be careful, escort!"
The two guards around were all frightened.
A heart is about to jump out of my throat!
They really can't be blamed for reacting too much.
If Liu Hong has three long and two short, the nine clans are not enough to punish him!
However, a few people passed by in a cold light.
Nailed to the throat of the man in black.
Accompanied by a whimpering sound of pain.
A stream of black blood oozed from the neck of the man in black, and he immediately lost his breath.
Liu Hong's reaction speed is extremely fast.
The silver needle in the sleeve was thrown at the source of the cold light.
There was a commotion in the woods over there, and the black shadows disappeared into the dense forest after a few tossing and turning.
Silver needles quench poison.
Once you get hit, you will definitely die!
Liu Hong is extremely sure, the guy who threw the dart won't live long.
He stepped forward and looked at the man in black in front of him.
Died so thoroughly that it can't be saved.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of that man just now was to shut him up forever!"
"Hmm."
Liu Hong nodded slightly.
Although the hostages were killed, the good news was that the key information had been asked.
It's not a loss.
"Throw it in the mountains and feed the wolves."
Liu Hong gave an order, and then brushed his sleeves and left.
He went to the catapult again.
It's almost done.
It's just that some places need to be reinforced.
"Your Majesty, this side will be ready immediately!"
"Definitely won't delay tonight's action!"
"The ropes are all the strongest hemp ropes, and they are very resistant!"
Liu Hong nodded and said nothing.
He circled around and then returned to his tent.
A lot of shells are needed for night operations.
Now is the time to act.
Liu Hong soon ordered people to send all kinds of sand and gravel materials into the camp tent.
I started working hard again.
Then he never went out again that afternoon.
This has proven to be effective.
By evening, Liu Hong had already made ten giant cannonballs.
All of them are for catapults.
He is very happy with his results.
Can't wait to find someone to share.
So, Liu Hong opened the tent and was about to call someone to come and carry it.
But it was at this juncture that an anomaly was found.
The color of the sunset on the horizon was wrong, and the aurora faintly appeared.
Liu Hong's heart inexplicably rose in a panic.
At first, he thought it was due to the recent lack of rest.
But it didn't take long to hear a wolf howl from the depths of the mountain forest.
Even from this angle, you can see the fish jumping out of the water in the river below.
It's going to be an earthquake!
"Order everyone in the army to pack up their belongings and gather and leave here within a quarter of an hour."
Liu Hong commanded sharply.
Several soldiers around him suddenly looked confused.
What's wrong with the emperor?
Why did you move out after camping for so long?
However, they were also puzzled in their hearts and did not dare to ask.
The news of the need to move out of the mountains soon spread throughout the army.
The soldiers were confused.
But since it is an order of the emperor, it can only be obeyed.
The vice-general packed everything up as fast as he could.
I still couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, if you move away from the mountains now, the loss will be too great."
"The main thing is that all the traps we set up are gone."
"I hope you think twice."
Liu Hong knew that the people around him didn't have any bad intentions, and it was all for the sake of the overall situation.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a large swarm of moving ants on the ground.
They also look in a hurry.
"When an earthquake strikes, you can choose to stay."
Liu Hongfeng said lightly.
The adjutant general was shocked at that time.
He couldn't help but think of some unbearable memories.
My hometown has been hit by an earthquake.
It was a devastating blow.
Countless poultry were lost.
Countless homes were destroyed.
Countless living people have died.
Not many people survived the catastrophe, and many were crippled.
The thriving town has since declined.
In a flash of light, the lieutenant's thoughts finally returned to reality.
He clasped his fists and saluted, then quickly turned and left.
Arrange for the orderly evacuation of his subordinates.
The people brought by Liu Hong this time are all well-trained.
The biggest feature is obedience, and the speed of action comparable to the speed of God!
Two quarters of an hour later.
Everyone is ready.
Liu Hong quickly evacuated the mountain with all the soldiers behind him.
Look around for the plains and use them for shelter for the time being.
Luckily, they quickly found the right place.
It is a lush grassland.
There are also a couple of mounds around that are not very high, but they are completely negligible.
"Here it is."
Liu Hong confirmed that the place was big enough, so he made a decision.
The soldiers quickly set up camp.
The adjutant general came over after explaining what he had to say.
"Your Majesty, how did you see that an earthquake was about to happen?"
"I'll pinch my fingers."
Liu Hong chuckled.
The words sound outrageous though.
But when the adjutant heard this, he really believed it.
Don't ask.
The question is that His Majesty the Emperor knows astronomy and geography, and there is no one who can't!
After the joke.
Liu Hong felt that it was necessary to popularize some basic natural knowledge.
Otherwise, if you don't have to act with the army in the future.
If you encounter a similar situation again, you can also have a response.
"Remember the light on the horizon."
"There are also ground ants moving, fish jumping on the water, wild wolves barking."
"It's all evidence."
The adjutant general took these words to heart.
He was even prepared to have the opportunity to give a lecture to his soldiers.
This kind of knowledge can save lives when it matters most.
So it has to be known to everyone!
The two were chatting again.
The ground on the soles of the feet is constantly vibrating, and the amplitude is getting bigger and bigger.
The soldiers who were encamping behind him were in a panic.
The adjutant general was also a little overwhelmed when he saw this.
Most of Liu Hong's meteors walked in front of everyone and raised his voice.
"Don't panic, squat on the ground with your head in your hands."
"Wait until there's no movement."
"Remember to avoid mounds and trees!"
The bell-like voice was like a reassuring pill.
When the people heard this, they quickly restored order and did so.
Liu Hong also found a suitable place to squat.
All that can be done is wait.
As time passed, there was a constant rumbling sound on the ground under my feet.
There were even finger-wide cracks in the land.
Fortunately, the soldiers had been prepared in advance, and the marching materials were properly disposed of.
Others, however, were not so lucky.
For example, Yuan Yao and others in the city.
None of them knew about the earthquake signs.
There is only suffering.
Yuan Yao was originally in the study to review the folds.
Suddenly, the whole room shook violently, and the burning lamp on the table fell to the ground.
Quickly ignite the curtain next to it.
Then the whole house was in flames.
Yuan Yao couldn't care about anything else anymore and quickly fled for his life.
But because the ground under his feet kept shaking, he fell into a standard.
The emperor who was high above was extremely embarrassed at this time.
It's a really funny scene.
At the same time, the people of the city were also in deep trouble.
There were screams and people running around everywhere.
and was trampled under his feet because of a moment of panic, so he died directly.
