The function of the embankment is to prevent the flood from overflowing the embankment, and this section of the Yellow River in Kaifeng was sedimented by sediment and raised about four feet, so it was artificially built five or six feet high on the original embankment, and it became a new embankment.

There was no way to avoid it, and the flood was already approaching, and the waves were rolling up three or four feet high.

Luo Yu, Li Xiuning, Yang Lin who were standing on the embankment, and Yang Guang, who was sitting in the imperial tent and did not show up, as well as several military leaders, two worshippers, and more than a dozen personal soldiers, were in good condition at the moment, but they had no way to rescue.

Some people, the prancing horse galloped to the embankment, but was blocked by the steep slope in front of them, and after a while, they were swept away by the flood peak and the horse, and they rolled and disappeared in the scream.

Li Xiuning had tears in her eyes, and wanted to fly to the rescue, but was hugged by Luo Yu, in this case, manpower can't change anything, and may even catch herself.

The embankment they were on was safe, after all, it was five feet above the ground, and the waves couldn't hit that high, but there was nothing they could do to change the current situation.

Luo Yu guessed that there would be twists and turns, but he didn't expect it to be such a strong wind and waves, now the pontoon bridge was broken, and the north and south sides were out of reach, and some of the Eastern Expeditionary troops who crossed to the south wanted to swim down the river to save the frame, but they just jumped into the Yellow River and were carried downstream by the water, and they couldn't get to the shore at all.

Relying on others to save is an extravagant hope, now you can only save yourself, Luo Yu thought of various ways in his mind, but they couldn't solve the current crisis, squinted and looked at it, Yang Guang was still hiding in the imperial tent, he didn't come out, and Yang Lin just looked at the cavalry on the right side that was washed away by the water and didn't move.

At this moment, there were several muffled sounds of "boom" not far upstream, which shook the ground and the river saw waves, and after a while, the river on the right plain became smaller and smaller, and the water in the river channel on the left was rising sharply, and the gap should be blocked.

After a pillar of incense, there was no more water rushing down upstream, and as far as the eye could see, there was a yellowed water surface, and there were all kinds of things floating on it, of course, the most of them were corpses.

The carcasses of war horses, the carcasses of sergeants, the carcasses of various poultry......

Everything drifted away, drifting away from the fading torrent without a trace.

Luo Yu is familiar with the sound of the explosion, could it be that the special combat team is coming? This time I went south, and only brought four first-generation team members, except for the six first-generation team members who stayed in Jincheng, the others were all in groups of four to collect intelligence in various places, and I don't know which groups came here.

There was finally movement on the left, three eight oxen side by side on the embankment, the crossbow arrows with thick arms had been loaded, and the captain hammered the switch after adjusting the angle, and the crossbow arrows shot straight at them with a rope.

The worship next to Yang Guang's imperial tent saw the opportunity, jumped up, just grabbed the long arrow, and as soon as his feet borrowed from the embankment, he returned to Yang Guang with the rope.

At this time, a big dhow without sails rushed down from the upstream, and when it reached the bottom of the rope, three large iron anchors were thrown down at the stern, each of which was connected with a thick iron chain, which should have wanted to stop in the middle of the Yellow River in order to meet Yang Guang and his party.

The sediment of the Yellow River bottomed, and the water flow just increased, the difficulty of anchoring and stopping the ship increased, and I saw the iron chain pull down rapidly, until the iron anchor touched the bottom before stopping, and then began to straighten again with the movement of the hull......

Luo Yu watched Zhang Yang on the boat directing the other four team members who were trying to adjust the angle of the hull, and another crossbow arrow shot over with a rope and was caught by another worship.

The water on the north shore had almost receded, and as far as the eye could see, the yellow sand was all over the ground, and the trees had fallen and the houses had collapsed, and there was no life......

The 20,000 or 30,000 horses of the Eastern Army and the 30,000 horses of the Right Wu Army were gone, and this man-made flood washed away the few military forces of the Great Sui, and also made Luo Yu and Li Xiuning's hard work come to naught.

The water upstream came down again, and the area that was blown up should have been artificially dug up again, but this time the torrent was much smaller, and there were vaguely warships rushing straight with the water.

The current in the Yellow River was much smaller, and the hull of the boat finally stabilized, and the two worshippers had already tied the rope to the base of the pontoon bridge, which was connected to the south side, and it was impossible to cross directly to the south side, and the middle of the rope was drooping, and it just fell to the big boat.

The shouting and killing sound behind has been faintly heard, and I can't care so much, if I don't descend from the rope, my life will be confessed here.

Luo Yu stretched out and untied his belt, tied Li Xiuning, who was a little faint, tightly tied it with him, took her spear again, and said to the military leaders and special combat soldiers around him: "Slide over the way I do, remember, tie your hands and slide bar with straps." ”

Yang Guang and Yang Lin had already slipped past with the help of the worshippers, and when they reached the top of the boat, they were only a foot high from the hull, and as soon as they let go of their spears with both hands, they landed on the boat, and were pulled aside by the other people to prevent the people from coming behind from colliding with them.

Luo Yu was not so lucky, as soon as he put on the rope, the hull of the boat swayed left and right, and the mast just stopped where the rope passed, and the two of them must have crashed into the mast if they slid over.

Unable to care about it so much, Luo Yu gritted his teeth, jumped hard, and the iron spear slid down the thick rope rapidly, and when he was in front of the mast, he turned around and leaned heavily on the thick mast.

The weight of the two people, coupled with the speed so fast, Luo Yu's back was like being hammered, hot, his throat was sweet, he resisted the urge to vomit blood and let go of his hands, and straightened the handrope reserved for the spear.

Zhang Yang didn't dare to slack off, he didn't have time to untie it, he stretched out his hand and cut it off, and the people next to him hurriedly lifted them away and loosened them.

Everyone finally got down to the boat before the enemy arrived, and a red turban soldier wanted to follow Luo Yu's method and come over, but Yue Yun had already cut the rope with a knife, and he tumbled and fell into the Yellow River and disappeared.

The Red Turban Army was waiting to shoot arrows on the embankment, Zhang Yang didn't have time to close the anchor, and used a spear to loosen the ironwood connected to the iron chain at the stern of the ship.

Away from the anchor, the hull of the ship swung, and with the current rushed straight down, the faster the Pegasus, but fortunately this section of the river went straight down, otherwise it would have to hit the shore and the hull separated.

There is no anchor, the boat without sail can't be controlled, so it can only float away with the current, Zhang Yang came over and said to Luo Yu: "Instructor, there is a backwater bay three miles ahead, so I can only find a way to slow down and get off the boat there." ”

Luo Yu said: "You can operate with confidence, Zhang Cheqi will answer it." ”

After saluting, he hurried to the wheelhouse, which was the only place where he could control the boat, as long as he reached the backwater bay, kept right to slow down and stop the boat, and he could go ashore.

The Red Turban Army didn't seem to intend to give up the pursuit, and the three small boats full of soldiers sailed closely to follow Luo Yu and them, only about twenty zhang away.

How could Zhang Xutuo let them succeed, and ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the boat, and suddenly the feathered arrows flew like locusts, and the small boat screamed endlessly, but still followed the big boat closely.

Luo Yu saw that Li Xiuning was fine, and called Yue Yun to take care of him, and he endured the discomfort and came to the stern, and asked a special combat team member who was shooting arrows with a bow: "Qiao An, are there any explosives bags?" ”

Joan shot an arrow, which hit a man in the face, and the man fell into the river, and before he had time to see the results of the battle, he saluted: "Instructor, my captain has another one." ”

Luo Yu waved his hand to let him continue shooting, and then immediately strode to Zhang Yang's place and asked him for an explosives bag.

As soon as he got the explosives bag, the speed of the ship slowed down, and he should have come to the backwater bay, this slowdown, Luo Yu was not prepared, the qi and blood in his body surged, and he couldn't hold back anymore, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black blood, and the feeling of dizziness and dizziness quickly hit and fell in the helm room.

Before falling unconscious, he said to Zhang Yang: "Blow up their head boat with explosives!" ”

Zhang Yang called another team member to take the helm, helped the unconscious Luo Yu to the bed in the cabin, fixed Luo Yu with a rope, and came to the stern with the explosives bag.

The speed slowed down, they followed more closely, Zhang Yang was calculating when it would be more appropriate to throw the explosives bag, when he saw a long arrow coming at the head, he hurriedly lowered his body to avoid it, took the opportunity to squat down, reached out and picked up a spear, tied the explosives bag to the red tassel of the spear, and then pulled the lead.

The white smoke of the explosives followed the spear straight to the first ship of the Red Turban Army, and the two sides were only a few feet away, and before the spear could touch the boat, it had already exploded a foot above the boat.

Unexpectedly, this only increased the power of the explosion, the spear was blown to pieces, plus the power of the explosive pack, after the fire, the loud sound echoed, the boat and the soldiers had already disintegrated, under the tumbling of the river, without a trace.

The second boat, which was a little closer, was also affected by the explosion, and the first few men were injured in the eye, and the fragment of the spear's head was nailed to the helmsman's face, who fell backwards and fell into the river.

The hull of the ship lost control, turned a corner, and actually crossed the river, and the third boat could not dodge and collided, and for a time the hull of the ship broke, and the red turban army on both boats fell into the water.

This is an unexpected joy, Zhang Yang took a long arrow, like shooting water hyacinth, as long as the head was shot to death by an arrow, suddenly, blood stained the Yellow River water, snow full of red plum blossoms.

The pursuers solved, the backwater bay is almost at the end, the right side of this section of the river is a sand zhu sticking out half of the river surface, the water flows through this kind of sand zhu is blocked, tumbling and flowing back, so it is called back to the water inlet.

The boat still couldn't get to the side, the backsurge force was too great, the boat was pushed back, and it kept spinning in the center of the river, there was no wind, and it was useless to raise the sails.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the right side of the riverbank, there were a lot of them, it should be the men and horses sent by Zhang Xutuo who caught up, and after they stood up to the horse, they picked up a bundle of hemp rope from the horse.

There is a three-edged hook tied to one end of the hemp rope, and as long as it is thrown and wrapped around the mast, it can be pulled towards the shore with all its might.

Luo Yu woke up in a daze, and found himself lying on the soft bed, only to feel that his back was hot, and his throat was so thirsty, just when he wanted to speak, Li Xiuning, who was dressed up, came over with a cup of tea and slowly fed him to drink.

She didn't speak, her expression couldn't show joy and anger, she seemed to be very calm, but the concern in her eyes couldn't hide Luo Yu, and after thinking about it, could it be that Yang Guang sent someone to monitor?

This cannot be ruled out that Yang Guang may have just seen the power of the explosives package and wanted to use it for his own use, so he put himself under house arrest and sent Li Xiuning to take care of himself, so as to see the relationship between Li Xiuning and Luo Yu, so as to threaten himself.

After figuring out this, he didn't give Li Xiuning a good face, and said hoarsely: "I'm fine, don't pretend to take care of me!" ”

A hint of joy flashed in Li Xiuning's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Don't be sentimental, if Your Majesty didn't want me to take care of you, just because you are a pariah, you also want General Ben to feed you water?" ”

Luo Yu continued: "I'm a pariah, you are noble, don't you want me, a pariah, to save you?" If I hadn't held you on the levee, you'd have died! ”

Li Xiuning was mad: "You pariah, you dare to say that thing, ruin my reputation, I will kill you!" After speaking, he turned around and picked up the teapot on the table and smashed his head at Luo Yu.

Luo Yu said in his heart: "This little girl is really good at acting, I'll give you a Best Actress Award!" Before he could change his mind, a copper coin broke through the air and hit the crook of Li Xiuning's arm.

The teapot fell to the ground in response, the fragments of tea were scattered all over the ground, Yang Guang pushed the door in, and saw Li Xiuning sitting aside, his right hand gently stroked the crook of his left arm, and when he saw him come in, he knelt on the ground again, and said: "Hussar General Li Xiuning knocks on Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang walked over, helped Li Xiuning up, and said, "Virtuous niece, Luo joined the army and was kind to you, how could you treat him like this?" ”

Li Xiuning pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty, as a woman, Weichen is still in the middle of the leap, although he is in the army all the year round, but not everyone can offend, this guy is lighter than Weichen, how can Weichen bear it?" ”

Yang Guang smiled and said: "In this case, you are afraid that he will ruin your reputation, so I will marry you, how about it?" ”

Li Xiuning was surprised, and before he could speak, Luo Yu said in a dumb voice: "Your Majesty, how dare you climb General Li?" Please take back your order! ”

Yang Guangdao: "It's simple, Luo Yu, you have the merit of escorting me, I don't want to chill the heroes, so I named you the male of Jiandong County, the captain of the four southern ya, and serve in front of the palace, how about it?" ”

After Luo Yu heard this, he pretended to get up, and scolded in his heart: "Okay, you Yang Guang, you just got out of danger and played tricks, Lao Tzu is not fooled, you are about to go to Yangzhou to get drunk and dream of death, and you want to drag Lao Tzu into the water, go to your mother!" ”

Thinking so in his heart, he struggled to get up, but was stopped by Yang Guang, but said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, the grass people have not made an inch, the recent rescue is General Li's military order, and the grass people dare not disobey, if this move is promoted, the grass people are also lucky, and it will be difficult to raise their heads and face the world in the future, so please ask Your Majesty to withdraw your life." ”

Yang Guang looked at Luo Yu strangely, and said: "I have two wills today, you refute them with reason, I am not a faint king, you are reasonable, and I don't force it, but Xiuning's niece is indeed a good woman, are you really not tempted?" ”

This is coercion and the elders have been lured, Li Xiuning just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yang Guang, he stared at Luo Yu, wanting to see his mind from Luo Yu's reaction.

Luo Yu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are not disrespectful to the holy will, they really don't dare, they are afraid of being disappointed by Your Majesty's good intentions, the grass people have been in the army for half a year, and the crisis has passed for a while, and there will be a death at any time, but for the great Sui for thousands of generations, the grass people have no complaints and no regrets, General Li's daughter's body, how dare the grass people climb high?" ”

After Yang Guang heard this, he muttered: "In this case, I will not be reluctant, but I have a daughter, who is fifteen years old this year, and she is a match for you, so it is better to ......"

Luo Yu was even more frightened and said: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't dare to think about it, and if you don't say that it is useless and nameless, just the position of the grass people, I'm afraid the princess will not like ......it."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Lin and Yu Wenhua came together, saying that there was something important to start, Yang Guang had no choice but to say: "You think about it, I will come back later!" ”

He turned and walked out of the room, walking away quickly.

Li Xiuning looked at Luo Yu, who was drenched in sweat, and wanted to walk over to help him wipe his sweat in distress, but was stopped by Luo Yu with a look, and she remembered that the worshipper who had just made the copper coin should not have left yet, and was watching from the side.

An attendant walked over quickly, and passed Yang Guang's verbal message to her to see her, Li Xiuning didn't dare to slack off, gave Luo Yu a cautious look and followed the attendant.

Luo Yu thought back to the history of his time and space, if he wanted to say that something happened during this time period, only Yang Xuangan rebelled in Luoyang, did he want Li Xiuning to go on the expedition?

The Right Armed Army fought several battles, and the battlefield losses were only two or three hundred people, but this time it was broken and broken, and 30,000 people were swept away by the flood at one time.

In the dual state of mind of worrying about Li Xiuning and sleepiness, he fell asleep......
