In the dog days of summer, children’s faces change as the weather changes.
The sun was still shining brightly during the day, causing people to suffer from heatstroke.
At night, the wind picked up for some reason.
The wind is getting stronger.
Yun Chao stood in the yard of the Nanhu Town Inspection Department.
He looked up at the sky.
Seeing the heavy dark clouds rolling in from the north, I couldn't help but frown.
"The clouds are heading south and the water is reaching the sky. Li Xing, the weather has changed. We can't wait any longer. Send a signal and act in advance."
"yes!"
As a farmer, Li Xing certainly knows the local proverbs in Qingyang County: clouds go east, a gust of wind, clouds go south, water reaches the sky, clouds go north, a gust of darkness, clouds go west, Guanyin Bodhisattva wears a raincoat.
In summer, when the north wind blows and large dark clouds roll in from the north, there is a possibility of heavy rain.
Now dark clouds are coming from the north and are about to cover the stars and moon in the sky. Li Xing knows that time waits for no one. Once the heavy rain starts, the planned plan may be ruined!
It didn't take long, and with a bang, a flame rose by the lake.
There are already fireworks in Dawu Dynasty.
However, it's not a holiday season, and in a remote place like Nanhu Town, people set off fireworks in the middle of the night, which is as abnormal as possible.
The Dongping Army scouts who were on duty at Nanhu Water Village did not dare to neglect at all and reported the situation quickly.
Dong Ping, who was resting in the water village, had been awakened. He heard that someone was setting off fireworks in the north, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
For fear of an accident, Dong Ping quickly put on his clothes and led his soldiers outside to check the situation.
Just after leaving the water village, before I could ask what was going on, I heard a loud bang behind me!
Immediately afterwards, there was another bang!
Then, there was another boom!
Just like that, there were more than ten booms in a row!
Explosions occurred in many places in the water village.
While everyone was dazed and dumbfounded, the water village burst into flames!
Of course, everyone mentioned here is everyone outside the water village.
People outside don't know the specific situation of the people in the water village.
Dong Ping just came out of the water village. He was relatively close and was greatly affected. He fell to the ground and took a mouthful of mud!
Fortunately, the power of the explosion was limited, and Dong Ping only fell down and was not injured.
Even though he was unscathed, Dong Ping was still shaken to pieces. His ears felt as if a swarm of bees had been stuffed into his ears. His body also temporarily lost his balance. He struggled with his hands and feet and couldn't get up for a long time.
The soldiers who were far away from the water village reacted first, rushed over and carried him far away.
Otherwise, even if Dong Ping is not burned to death, he might be trampled to death by the crowd who were stunned by the explosion!
These days, although gunpowder is available, few people have seen such a large-scale explosion.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Dong Ping was the same.
The violent explosion that occurred in the water village was definitely a divine punishment in the eyes of many soldiers!
Even Dong Ping could not help but be frightened.
Could it be that he has done so many things that made people angry that God couldn't stand it anymore and sent the God of Thunder to collect him?
In the eyes of future generations, this idea is ridiculous.
However, in ancient times when feudal superstition was prevalent, this kind of thinking was perfectly normal.
Not to mention that Dong Ping was just a small military supervisor, even Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, was terrified because his palace was struck by lightning and caught fire.
Even the awesome Yongle Emperor was not immune to this, let alone a bunch of Dongping troops.
Besides, there are some people who deliberately cause trouble.
The guides leading the way from Qingyang Camp suddenly shouted loudly while hiding in the crowd:
"God's punishment, God's punishment! We must have angered the gods, and the Dragon King is angry!"
"Yes, yes, the gods are angry, and there will be a flood soon, which will drown us all. Everyone, run away!"
"The South Lake water bandits have Lord Dragon as their backer and cannot be provoked. Everyone should kowtow and beg for mercy!"
"..."
Just at this moment, a thunder exploded in the sky.
The dark clouds that had obscured the sky seemed to have been torn open, and large raindrops fell.
Before everyone could react, there was another thunder explosion.
Immediately afterwards, the raindrops connected into lines, and then formed into sheets.
In an instant, it started pouring rain, and everyone turned into drowned rats in an instant!
"I'm a bitch, Lord Dragon is really angry, I don't dare to do it anymore, Lord Dragon, please spare me!"
"Run quickly, or you'll be struck to death by lightning if you don't!"
"What are you still doing with weapons? Do you want to fight with the Dragon King? Throw away the weapons quickly, throw away the weapons quickly!"
"..."
The scene fell into complete chaos.
Some cried.
Some screamed.
Some were lying on the ground and kowtowing to God.
Some threw away their weapons and ran for their lives.
Some are looking for war horses in the chaos.
Some were dizzy and jumped into the water.
…
People are in chaos, and horses are in even more chaos.
The war horses of the Dawu Dynasty had not been trained to resist explosions, and they had almost never heard such a loud noise just now.
The violent explosion, coupled with the sky-high fire, and then being rushed by the chaotic crowd, whether they were war horses or pack horses, immediately became a mess and started running around!
The water village is surrounded by water on three sides and bordered by land on one side.
The land area in front of the water village is not large.
Thousands of people and horses were involved in chaos, and one can imagine how brutal it was.
Many people who were stunned by the explosion died under the hoofs of frightened horses without knowing anything!
In the end, it was the war horse's strong night vision ability that found the escape route first. Along the north path leading outside, you chased me and ran away!
None of the soldiers dared to move forward.
With so many horses running, the power is simply earth-shattering. Not to mention people, even tigers will probably be trampled into pulp if they pass by!
Of course, not all horses are in the right place.
The frightened horses ran in any direction. Many horses panicked and rushed directly into the lake!
Fortunately, horses are different from people. They are born with water and can swim without learning.
When they realized something was wrong, most of them turned around and swam back, and not many of them actually drowned in the water.
"Stop running around, stop for me, stop..."
Dong Ping finally reacted.
After all, he is a military supervisor and is much calmer than his soldiers.
Unfortunately, there was the sound of wind, rain, thunder, and the sound of someone shouting and neighing. Even if Dong Ping broke his throat, the sound could not travel far.
When the explosion occurred, most of the officers of the Dongping Army and the escort were resting in the water village, and only a small number escaped.
The rest were either blown to death or burned to death in the sea of fire. If it hadn't rained heavily, more people would have died in the water village.
Without the command structure, the scene was even more chaotic.
By this time, the horses had almost finished running, and finally it was the frightened soldier's turn.
Dong Ping tried several times but failed to stabilize the situation. He had to follow the crowd and flee in panic under the protection of more than a dozen soldiers!
