Chapter 549: Keep Going

The dug up river silt cannot be wasted, Li Daoxuan shoveled them to the open space next to the river, spread the silt, and when the silt is dried, it will become very fertile land, which is excellent for growing crops.

The people who live by this section of the river will not miss this good thing.

Xing Hongwolf and his entourage stupidly watched the shovel digging in the river, not only digging that, but digging along the river all the way, shovel after shovel, and soon, a long section of the river was widened, dug deep, and dredged.

Here is the confluence of the Fen River into the Yellow River, once the Fen River widens, the bottom of the river is dug low, the water level will naturally sink, and the water in the Yellow River will immediately pour in, and soon the water level of this section of the river will be supported.

The narrow river, which used to be only 20 meters wide, suddenly became 40 meters wide, and the water became deeper, making it possible to run larger boats.

After Xing Hongwolf and the others were stunned, they suddenly understood: "Huh? Tianzun is widening the river so that we can sail on this river in the future. ”

Old Nanfeng: "Uh, I just said that this river can't be navigated, Tianzun is spitting out my trough?" ”

The soap warbler scolded: "How can you be virtuous? Tianzun spits out your slot? ”

"This ...... That's right. Lao Nanfeng smiled awkwardly: "Tianzun doesn't have time to do such a big thing in order to spit out my trough, of course, this is for the benefit of the people, and it is also convenient for us to reinforce Pingyang Mansion." ”

I saw that Tianzun's immortal shovel continued to dig upstream along the river, and soon disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

The river water in the Fen River has also reversed in a short period of time! Now it is not the Fen River that is flowing into the Yellow River at all, but the Yellow River water is pouring into the Fen River in large quantities, and this backflow has lasted for a long time and finally stabilized.

Of course, Li Daoxuan is tired of digging!

Even if the Fen River shrinks by two hundred times, it still doesn't look like it, and after Li Daoxuan dug for more than ten kilometers, he had to stop and rest.

He is not in a hurry, the Fen River is very long, it can't be dug in a day, and now the field of vision has not expanded to Pingyang Mansion, dig slowly, dig ten kilometers a day, and make a smooth transition, so as not to have problems with the Yellow River water backfilling too quickly.

But after he dug like this, from the confluence of the Fen River and the Yellow River to the section of the river between Hejin County, it has widened a lot at once, and slightly larger cargo ships can already sail in.

Xing Hongwolf pointed to the tattered Hejin County in front of him, and said with a smile: "Once our cargo ship can get here, this ruined county town will soon be able to be built with a new look." ”

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky in awe, Tianzun is no longer here, it should be that they have gone back to the heavenly realm after digging the river, but this does not affect their admiration for Tianzun.

This is really a supernatural power!

"Anyway, this rain ...... It's a little too big. Old Nanfeng spoke: "It will have a great impact on our firecrackers, if we encounter thieves in this situation, our firecrackers will not sound, it will be very dangerous." If we fight with cold weapons, we don't have a big advantage, and then we will fight for numbers. ”

This sentence reminded everyone, and everyone was shocked: "Oops! Hurry up and find a place where you can shelter from the rain. ”

"Everyone, hurry into Hejin County! Take shelter from the rain. ”——

At the same time, Binh Duong.

A large group of thieves forced them towards Pingyang Mansion.

The handsome guy over the mountain harrier is here again!

The last time he attacked Pingyang Mansion, he was repelled by Wang Xiaohua with a firecracker, but this time it suddenly rained heavily, and the harrier felt that the opportunity had come again.

Firecrackers don't work well on rainy days.

However, he forgot one thing, Pingyang Mansion is a big city, and it is not a wilderness.

The troops stationed in the prefecture are extremely rich in logistical material support.

Dou Wenda gave an order, and the people in the city immediately ran up the city wall with all kinds of things that could cover the rain, some people held up a huge oil-paper umbrella on the top of the heads of the firecrackers, some people made a canopy out of oilcloth, propped on the city wall, and helped the firecrackers to shield themselves from the rain, and some people even quickly built a small canopy out of wood, and the whole canopy was moved to the city wall.

All kinds of strange rain shelter facilities immediately appeared on the city walls of Binh Duong Province.

Two hundred musketeers hid under these shelters, raised their muskets, and fired wildly at the army that was climbing the mountain harriers......

The thief army was suddenly beaten and screamed, and a few bandits who rushed to the wall in the rain and with fire guns, before they could climb up, they were thrown down by Wang Er, who was guarding the city wall, with a big stone, right in the head.

A large group of militia members braved, picked up stones and threw them down.

The mountain harrier is defeated again!

"We've won again!"

"And God appreciates the rain."

The common people cheered: "After defeating the thieves, we will be able to farm, hahaha, and we can finally resume the life of the previous years." ”

They cheered, but Dou Wenda had a dark face, and ran to Wang Xiaohua's side again: "Mr. Wang, how much ammunition do your soldiers have?" ”

Wang Xiaohua shook her head: "This wave has been fought, and there is not much ammunition." ”

Dou Wenda: "How is this good? Without firecrackers, we will never be able to defend this Pingyang Mansion. ”

Wang Xiaohua: "Don't worry! Reinforcements are coming. ”

Dou Wenda looked out of the city worriedly: "The rain is so heavy, the movement of reinforcements will also be affected...... I'm really worried that they will be delayed by the heavy rain. ”——

The heavy rain really delayed the trip of the reinforcements.

The 2,000 reinforcements led by Cheng Xu have now arrived in Chezhuang.

It is still forty miles away from Binh Duong Province.

It's close!

But the closer you are to Binh Duong Province, the more likely you are to encounter a thief army on the way.

The more you need to be cautious.

He knew very well that the two thousand men under his command were best at firearms, but now that it was raining suddenly, the use of firearms would be greatly affected.

The grenadier should be completely useless, when the arquebus is lit and thrown, the rain may be fine, and if the rain is heavy, the arquebus will be easily wet.

The rifled Birdgun also becomes difficult to use, as there is a high chance of water ingress at every step of the loading and firing process. Unless you hide in a sheltered place from the rain, you can load and launch normally, but if you fight in the field, how can there be a shelter from the rain?

Cheng Xu glanced up at the front, with a hint of sadness in his heart.

The rain in the sky seemed to have turned into a small grandmother in the sky, falling rapidly from the sky, smashing on the ground, exploding with a tick, and turning into countless smaller grandmothers, scattered on the ground......

"Forced march on a rainy day, once I encounter a thief army, I have an eighty percent chance to see my grandmother." Cheng Xu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a rear-loading firearms captain stepped forward and said, "Report, our Chasebo rifle is not affected by heavy rain and can be loaded and fired normally. ”

Cheng Xu was overjoyed: "Yes, how did I forget this." Then there is nothing to be afraid of, hurry, forward, and forty miles to Binh Duong Fu. ”
