Not long after.箹
The soldiers of Wang Daying once again took advantage of the wind and raised their whips.
Walking on a muddy road.
He ran straight towards the southwest.
Although there was low rain at this time.
But it was not enough to have much impact on Wang Daying's soldiers.
not to mention.
Although the sky is dark at this time, objects can still be distinguished.箹
If there is no rush to march at this time.
When the rain comes quickly, the sky becomes completely dark.
If you think about marching in a hurry, it will undoubtedly be a fantasy.
On the march.
Xu Yi held the reins tightly with both hands, and his legs pinched the horse's belly from time to time.
As a result, the horse under his crotch always maintains a running posture.
At this time, Xu Yi no longer cared whether such an intense rapid march would cause harm to the war horses.箹
For it.
Nowadays, the safety of Yanxian, Panxian and Xialuo cities has long been greater than anything else.
"Crack."
Two quarters of an hour later, a bright lightning suddenly flashed across the increasingly gloomy sky.
The moment lightning passed by, it seemed like daylight between heaven and earth.
"Boom."
After counting the interest.箹
A muffled thunder exploded above the black clouds as promised.
Its sound was like an attack horn.
With the sound of thunder, it completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
The originally sparse raindrops suddenly became rapid.
In the king's camp.
Xu Yi felt the oncoming raindrops as big as soybeans.
My heart couldn't help but become colder.箹
"Call forward Xin Sixuan!"
"Wait until it rains heavily and your vision becomes blurry!"
"The army slows down and rest where it is!"
Xu Yi frowned and quickly looked at the herald beside him.
"Follow the order!"
Wang Jingbo, the herald, responded quickly and loudly when he heard this.
The words are over.箹
Wang Jingbo desperately took out the riding crop from the horse's belly pocket.
"Snapped!"
After an unusually harsh whip sound.
The horse under Wang Jingbo's crotch was in pain, and instantly gained some speed like an arrow leaving the string.
at the same time.
A bright lightning flashed across the dark sky again.
Two quarters of an hour later.箹
Heavy rain fell from the sky.
Wang Daying's soldiers, who were running wildly on the northeast wind road, finally slowed down.
Finally, more than a quarter of an hour later, he completely stopped in the wilderness.
Xu Yi got off the horse with some difficulty.
Then quickly and in large quantities the surrounding environment was taken up.
Unfortunately.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the surrounding terrain could not be seen clearly.箹
"Sixth Master."
Just when Xu Yi closed his eyes and silently estimated the itinerary.
Yang Xian'an held a coir raincoat and walked hard against the strong wind and cold rain.
"That doesn't need to be the case."
Xu Yihe opened his eyes with difficulty in the storm, and then waved his hands slightly.
"It's windy, rainy and cold, Master Liu, it's better to put on some clothes."
Yang Xian'an walked hard and bowed deeply.箹
"Order the personal guards to form a circular formation of horses to take shelter from the wind and rain."
Xu Yi waved his hand again and then ordered.
See this.
Yang Xian'an suddenly realized, so he stopped insisting, and immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Follow the order!"
Not long after.
One after another, circular horse formations quickly appeared in the wilderness.
The so-called circular war horse formation.箹
That is, a small number of soldiers are located at the center of the circle, surrounded by horses.
Outside the war horses are several times the number of troops, and outside they are surrounded by war horses.
This formation
Similar to a car formation.
It's just that the vehicle was replaced by a war horse.
The only shortcoming of this formation is that the horses are living creatures, not dead things like chariot shafts.
At this time, there was a circular horse formation in the center.
Xu Yi, Yang Xian'an, Gu Dengyun, Wang Jingbo and others all squatted on the horse's belly.箹
While enduring the constant splashing of mud, he constantly comforted the war horse above his head.
I do not know how long it has been.
Maybe an hour or two.
Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.
The mud that was constantly splashing on the ground suddenly dropped by more than half.
"The rain has lightened up! The rain has lightened up!"
"The rain has stopped! Everyone, come out and take a look!"
"Finally the rain has stopped! The sky has eyes!"
Not waiting for Xu Yi and others to emerge from the horse's belly.
Bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the periphery of the circular horse formation.
"Form up the army! Let's go again!"
Xu Yi emerged from the horse's belly and said with a serious expression.
At this time, although the rain gradually slowed down, the strong wind also stopped.
But it was extremely dark.箹
March without torchlight.
Its speed is bound to be greatly slowed down.
"Follow the order!"
Yang Xian'an, Gu Dengyun, Wang Jingbo and others responded in unison when they heard the words.
Not long after.
The army set off again.
If the previous speed is compared to an arrow leaving the string.箹
Then the speed of travel at this time is like a snail.
"Report!"
Not long into the journey.
Suddenly a horse came quickly ahead.
"Let him in."
Xu Yi frowned when he heard this, and unfavorable factors such as mudslides appeared in his mind unconsciously.
"Report to your lord!"
"There is a large motorcade stopping by the road ahead."
The ordering soldier turned his horse's head, clasped his fists in salute, and followed slowly.
"Do you have a large fleet of cars?"
Xu Yi's eyelids drooped slightly when he heard this.
If what he expected is correct.
The motorcade of that wealthy family must have come from Yanxian City.
Xin Sixuan, who was at the head of the team, ordered someone to report, obviously because he wanted to...
"How many cars are there in the convoy? How many people are there?"
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
"Go back to your lord."
"The convoy has thirty-one cars and more than two hundred people."
The ordering soldier once again cupped his fists and reported back.
"Send orders to Xin Sixuan."
"Except for the clothes on my body."
"The remaining fabrics and other flammable materials will be requisitioned."
"Gold, silver, famous paintings, antiques and other items are not allowed to be handled rashly."
"Everything that is requisitioned must be handed over to the owner of the household."
"And I told him that after the disaster in Yanxiang is completely resolved, he can take the large order of goods to Prince Yan's Mansion for exchange."
Xu Yi pondered for a few breaths, and then ordered in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
The herald clasped his fists and saluted again, and then walked forward in the dark.箹
About two quarters of an hour.
A raging flame suddenly ignited in front of the army.
at the same time.
The speed of the army led by Xin Sixuan suddenly increased.
Two quarters of an hour again.
When Xu Yi and others arrived at the bonfire.
Dozens of Wang Daying soldiers were seen standing beside the campfire and constantly making torches.箹
Not far away from dozens of soldiers stood several shivering figures in brocade robes.
Xu Yi looked intently.
One of them was surprisingly the head of the He family in Yanxian City who had gone to Prince Yan's Mansion to worship at the Wind, Rain and Thunder Altar on the first day of the first lunar month.
Xu Yi shook his head slightly and then stopped paying attention to him.
After taking over a torch from Yang Xian'an.
Immediately follow the front army and slowly speed up.
...箹
...
It's near Hai hour.
It was pitch black.
After the heavy rain, the half-slopes of the barren mountains were littered with messes.
Xu Zhenggui sat alone beside a rock.
He stared blankly at the clusters of torches below that looked like morning stars.
Looking down from the hillside.箹
Countless figures could be vaguely seen lying quietly around the torch.
His ears were filled with the sound of the increasingly violent water.
"The first...first wave..."
"Finally... I finally managed to resist."
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Zhenggui suddenly stood up from the rock unsteadily.
"Help me send off those brave men."
Xu Zhenggui walked with difficulty towards several government officials not far away.
God knows when the rainstorm starts.
Xu Zhenggui felt so desperate deep in his heart.
The Sanggan River in front of him was rushing against the dam like a wild beast.
If it weren't for the people of Yanxing City who worked hard to strengthen the dikes.
I'm afraid that Yanxian City at this time has become a vast ocean.
Just over an hour.箹
Hundreds of young and strong government officials, soldiers, and civilians in Yanxing City died of exhaustion.
One can imagine how urgent the situation was at that time.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
When Xu Zhenggui completely walked out of the barren mountain halfway.
Suddenly, screams came from the embankment not far away.
"East Section! East Section! Come to East Section!"
"Where are the people! Stop crying, you bastards! Come to the east section quickly! The east section is about to burst!"
"Hurry! Run faster! I can't hold on anymore!"
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Run faster!"
In just a few dozen breaths.
The embankment not far away turned into a mess again.
Countless government officials, soldiers, and civilians dragged their tired bodies one after another towards the eastern section!
"Western section! Come to Western section!"
"Hurry up and get some people! The western section is about to burst!"
"What a thief! Who blocked the western section! How come you can't even hold on for half a day!"
"Stop complaining! Come quickly! Come quickly! If you don't come, it's all over!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Everyone's wives, children, and children are behind you! If the ink stains remain for a while, there will be nothing left!"
Just when Xu Zhenggui was about to head towards the east section.
There is another problem in the western section!
It’s true that misfortunes never come singly!
"What time is it now?"
At the foot of the barren mountain, Xu Zhenggui stopped and closed his eyes in despair.
"Go back to the county magistrate."
"About Xu hours."
The government servant next to him was trembling all over.
"Xu...Xu is a lot of time."
"Still...more than an hour left!"
"Go tell everyone! Hold on for one more hour!"
"Just hold on for one more hour!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan's army will arrive by then."
"Everyone will be saved by then!"
Xu Zhenggu took a few deep breaths, then cheered up and said encouragingly.
"Sir...sir..."
"One...more than an hour..."
"Yan...can His Highness Prince Yan really arrive?"
The officials around him turned pale and trembled all over as they murmured.
It seems like asking, but it's more like asking yourself.
"Able to!"
"His Royal Highness King Yan said he could arrive!
Will definitely arrive! "
"You dare to talk nonsense again! I will pull out your tongue!"
Xu Zhenggui turned around suddenly and looked at the government servant beside him with an angry look on his face.
Little did he know that if it hadn't been for the sudden heavy rain, Xu Yi would have arrived around midnight.箹
It's raining heavily now.
Not to mention around midnight.
Even if dawn comes, it will be extremely difficult.
But how could he tell the truth to the people of Yanxing City?
"Oh, just hold on as long as you can."
"Nowadays, what else can we do besides doing everything we can to obey fate?"
Xu Zhenggui thought to himself with bitterness in his heart.箹
"Yes Yes......."
"My subordinate... I will go here and there."
The yamen officer unconsciously shrank his neck when he heard this, and then he mustered up his energy and walked slowly towards the embankment.
It's not that he doesn't want to be quick.
In fact, he was already exhausted after running continuously to give orders.
"You...you guys should also go to the river embankment and help."
Xu Zhenggui took a few deep breaths of cold air again, then turned to look at the few remaining government officials behind him.箹
"I...we went, you...what should you do..." a yamen official said with a worried face.
"Yes, sir, we are going, what should you do?"
"Sir, please let us stay here to protect you."
"Sir, where are you? Li Hutou is right there."
Several other government officials heard the words and hurriedly agreed.
"Go! This is an order!"
"Ten years ago, when I was rushing to take the exam in Beijing, I carried dozens of kilograms of books on my back and dealt with dozens of bandits without getting hurt."
"How can I use your protection?!"
"Go quickly! If you keep talking nonsense, I will fire you from your posts first!"
Xu Zhenggui cheered up and scolded loudly.
The words are over.
Several government officials looked at each other when they saw this.
Finally, he had no choice but to say: "Follow the order!"
After several government officials completely disappeared from sight.箹
Xu Zhenggui seemed to have been drained of all his energy.
Finally, I could no longer hold on to the deep tiredness brought about by my body and mind.
He collapsed on the muddy ground.
Nearly two quarters of an hour passed.
Xu Zhenggui just calmed down a little.
"Why hasn't His Highness Prince Yan come yet?"
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan really can't hold on any longer."
"And Magistrate Hou and Magistrate Zhu, where have you been?"
"How are the shovels, picks, sacks, etc. prepared?"
"You... why don't you come..."
Xu Zhenggui struggled to get up from the muddy ground with a dull look in his eyes.
Staggering towards the river embankment.
However, after taking dozens of steps, his steps were unsteady and he fell to the ground again.
Don't wait for it to get up again.箹
Suddenly a bright light lit up in the sky again.
After counting the interest.
A muffled thunder exploded in the sky again.
"Thief... thief for God's sake!"
"Yu... Yanxing City... what are the people of Yanxing City guilty of!"
"How...you treat me like this...you treat the people of Yanxing City like this!"
Xu Zhenggui sat paralyzed on the ground, a look of madness and ferocity suddenly appeared on his face.箹
Yang Tian cursed angrily.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
As if responding to his rebellion, the sky sent down several more flashes of lightning and thunder.
"Uu! Uu! Uu!"
at the same time.
A rushing officer quickly used all his strength to rein in the fast horse.箹
He narrowly avoided getting out of the way of Xu Zhenggui, who was sitting on the ground.
If it hadn't been for the lightning and thunder just now.
I was afraid that Xu Zhenggui had already died completely under the hooves of the galloping horse.
"Sir! The river embankment in Hejia Town is in emergency! Please provide reinforcements as soon as possible!"
The yamen servant quickly jumped off his horse and loudly reported the news with a look of horror on his face.
"What! The river embankment in Hejia Town is in emergency?!!!"
Xu Zhenggui got the strength from nowhere and climbed up from the ground.箹
"Sir! The river embankment in Hejia Town is in emergency! Please provide reinforcements as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, the yamen servant had no choice but to repeat loudly again.
The words are over.
Without waiting for Xu Zhenggui's reaction, several more fast horses came quickly from the darkness.
"Your Majesty! The Wangjiatun River embankment is in emergency! The embankment may burst at any time! I hope you will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty! The river embankment in Mengzhuang Township is in emergency! The people rushed to the river, but it still didn't help. I hope your Majesty will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty, the dykes of Heshui Town have burst! The people suffered heavy casualties!"
"Your Majesty, the river embankment in Ziliu Township is in critical condition and may burst at any time! I hope your Majesty will send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
One after another emergency disasters rushed towards Xu Zhenggui like sharp arrows.
It made Xu Zhenggui's body shaky, as if he would fall to the ground completely at any time.
River embankments everywhere are in danger and may burst at any time.
One river embankment has burst.
Everyone is asking for someone from him!
Who can he ask for someone from? !箹
