August begins with continuous autumn rain.
The drizzle of light rain fell on the Loess Plateau, and then the light rain turned into heavy rain. It poured down carelessly, making the already crisscrossed land even more shocking. The rainwater brought yellow soil, gathered together, and flowed in. In the Yellow River, the water of the Yellow River becomes more turbid and yellower.
The water level is rising very fast, getting higher every day.
Standing on the Yinhan City Dam, Zong Yu's face was tense, and his eyes were cold and silent as he looked at the surging Yellow River. The waves hit the dam with overwhelming force, roaring as if they were going to smash it into pieces.
"General Zong, if we don't release the water, I'm afraid the dam won't be able to support it for long."
The generals who were stationed again saw that the water in the Yellow River was surging, and the river water behind them was pouring in, and the water level was almost approaching the final danger line.
Zong Yu's eyes were still looking at the torrential water ahead unmoved, "Has the order to release the flood come yet?"
"No...no." The general said.
Zong Yu grimaced and glanced at the general sharply: "Without the order to release the flood, even if the dam is destroyed, the water cannot be released. This flood is related to the battle between Dajing and Cao Wei, and no one can bear it. Take this huge responsibility and guard it well!"
"Here!"
The general did not dare to say any more, and was about to retreat after receiving the order. At this time, the messenger came with great speed. Before anyone arrived, the messenger shouted: "Urgent order from Chang'an! Urgent order from Chang'an!"
Wherever the soldiers passed by, the defensive soldiers quickly let go and rushed straight to Zong Yu. He got off his horse and carried the urgent report on his back over the heads of the whole country: "General Zong, urgent report from Chang'an."
Zong Yu instantly felt a sense of relief. He hurriedly took out the secret message and opened it. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the general and shouted: "Quickly order the generals of the five major dams to prepare to release water!"
"Here!"
The general rushed down to deliver the order.
It has been raining continuously for three days in the upper reaches. All the floods from all over the place have gathered into the Yellow River and rushed forward. At this moment, the Yellow River seems like a roaring beast. The dam is like a cage that comforts this beast. Once it breaks free from the cage, it will To claim life ruthlessly.
Zong Yu's face was gloomy, and he stared intently at the turbulent Yellow River with a heavy heart. He knew that his single order at this moment could cost the lives of countless people downstream, but for the sake of Dajing's country, he had to do this.
The sound of waves continues in my ears.
"General!" The man who had just gone down to deliver the order came up. "We are ready. As long as the general gives the order, the surging river will sweep Cao Wei..."
Before the general finished speaking, he saw Zong Yu's cold eyes glance at him, and he was so frightened that he swallowed all the words that followed.
The generals didn't understand. They opened floods and released water to split Cao Wei into two halves. They combined the state's troops to attack Jizhou and captured Ye Jing. They would be awarded a title for their merits. How could Zong Yu be so heavy for such a great thing?
"Let the water go!"
Just when the general was thinking wildly, he heard Zong Yu's voice with a bit of a sigh.
"Here!"
The general was overjoyed and hurried down to deliver the order.
The thatched pavilion supported by four wooden sticks is located at the top of the hill. Zong Yu stood in the pavilion, his robes rustling in the cold wind. The heavy rain outside only stopped last night. The entire earth is still slippery and the sky is densely rainy. , it seems that there is still a lot of rain that has not stopped falling.
Zong Xu looked sad and sighed: "It's true as the emperor said, people suffer when they prosper; when they die, people suffer! The lives of millions of people downstream were ruined by the flood of the Yellow River!"
"boom--!"
At this moment, the twelve huge flood outlets that had been prepared below suddenly opened. Under the huge water pressure, the flood directly sprayed water columns dozens of meters high, making a deafening sound.
The ferocious beast of the flood finally broke free from its shackles, roaring and flying down. The water level below rose rapidly as fast as visible to the naked eye, and the water rushed downwards with extremely ferocious force.
A thrilling flood is inevitable.
Five miles before the dam downstream, there were soldiers watching the flood. When they saw the flood coming from above, they immediately waved the command flag to the next soldier five hundred steps away. Then the command flag was passed, and the dam general immediately gave the order to release the water.
When all the water from the five dams was released, the roaring Yellow River rushed down almost roaring, and the waves rolled up were so powerful that the residents along the coast were shocked to see such a terrifying water force.
Such a crazy flood has never happened before.
Fortunately, the coastal areas are well prepared for flood prevention and will not be inundated by floods.
When the flood flowed through Luoyang, the water level was almost below the banks of the Yellow River. The sound of the roaring water can be heard clearly from miles away.
Zhang Xian had already received an order from Monk Chengge of the Military Governor's Office to send troops to blockade the north bank of the Yellow River when the floods passed through Luoyang. The order came in the past few days. Zhang Xian expected that the flood would be discharged within these few days, so he ordered the army to be ready to set off at any time. At the same time, he ordered his son Zhang Ying to station on the bank of the Yellow River to report the water level of the Yellow River at any time.
Zhang Ying has just turned eighteen and has not yet taken his first name. Due to his many years of fighting with his father, he has developed a lot of skills. Regardless of his young age, his ability to lead troops in war is not weak. He is even better than his father. He is deeply loved by Zhang Xiu. Like, his name was given by Zhang Xiu.
On the bank of the Yellow River, Zhang Ying stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the Yellow River at his feet, quietly waiting for the arrival of the monstrous flood and the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
"Boom! Boom!"
In the distance, huge waves came from the valley, and the waves crashed on the shore. Zhang Ying's eyes suddenly shrank, and when he looked attentively, he saw a yellow wave that suddenly increased in height and surged forward.
The thick and majestic momentum made Zhang Ying feel numb all over his body and get goosebumps. He couldn't help but shake the hand holding the handle of the knife, swallowed his saliva, and gave the order: "Go to the military camp quickly and report to your uncle! "
"Here!"
The soldiers next to him were also shocked and took a moment to react before hurriedly responding.
In an instant, the turbulent Yellow River water roared in, beating everything in its way crazily and violently, and rolled away in a mighty manner.
In the dense forest on the north bank of the Yellow River, there is a manually cut open space, which is surrounded by criss-crossing tree branches. If you had not been close, you would not have been able to discover that there were 50,000 troops hidden in this deep mountain forest.
This is the secret camp Zhang Xian opened here after receiving Zhang Xiu's secret order, always preparing to leave eastward.
When the news of the rushing water of the Yellow River came, Zhang Xian's eyes suddenly lit up. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
After the founding of Dajing, Zhang Xian was named Suxiang Bo for his meritorious service. He also had a prominent position in the court. He was also a close minister of the emperor and had an army of 50,000 people, which gave him considerable power.
It is also a challenge for Zhang Xian to command an army of 50,000 people. In order to complete this arduous task, Zhang Xian has been planning in his mind for a long time. He has carefully observed the terrain along the Yellow River, the situation on the entire north bank of the Yellow River and the deployment of Cao Wei's troops. They are all reflected in great detail on the sand table.
Zhang Xian is bound to win this battle.
