The turbid waves empty the yellow water and roll.
Just when Zhang Liao used the power of the cannon to kill Xia Houyuan and conquered Jingxingkou, the roaring Yellow River flooded the sky, the sound of the waves was earth-shattering, and the roaring sound of the rapids drowned everything around him.
Heavy rains and crazy floods descended on Puyang City in East County.
The sky was completely dark, but the heavy rain was still falling continuously. Puyangcheng County Magistrate Tan Yan hurriedly walked out of the mansion wearing a raincoat. As soon as he reached the gate, a thunder light flashed down from the sky, illuminating Tan Yan's figure pale.
The soldiers pulled their horses and hurriedly rushed forward.
Tan Yan shouted loudly and asked: "How is the danger of the Yellow River going?"
The soldier shouted back: "The river embankment is almost unstoppable. Throw the sandbags and wash them away. There is no way it can be blocked!"
Tan Yan's face turned cold: "Where did the flood come from so quickly?"
Soldier: "It came at noon today. It came very fast and violently. The water level jumped directly to the edge of the river embankment. A lot of flood water has not left the river embankment and flooded into the farmland!"
Tan Yan was shaken violently, and a bolt of lightning illuminated him pale.
"Heaven and earth are unkind..." Tan Yan's words were quickly drowned out by the rolling thunder. He got on his horse and turned to his guards and said, "Take a few people to the camp quickly and ask General Guo Huai to lead 3,000 soldiers to the embankment immediately. Prepare for rescue!”
After that, he took a few personal guards and galloped away to Puyang Embankment.
The strong wind never ends, and the heavy rain never ends.
In the second half of the night, the heavy rain stopped, but the sound of the waves became louder. It was dark and dark, and countless torches flickered on the Yellow River embankment, flickering on and off amidst the roar of the waves. Countless soldiers and civilians carried sandbags and ran towards the direction of the huge waves.
By the time three thousand soldiers arrived under the leadership of Guo Huai, the Puyang Dam had already opened a five-foot-wide opening. The turbid floodwaters in the river were roaring and rushing into the breach. The torrent rushed through the breach with abnormal turbulence and headed towards The farmland and cottages below pounced.
Under a few torches, Tan Yan and Guo Huai stood on the edge of the breach.
Sandbags had built two walls on both sides of the breach. Soldiers and strong men from nearby villages stood beside them, looking at Tan Yan and Guo Huai.
Guo Huai's face was so gloomy at the moment that he could drip water. He raised his hand and said: "Get off the bag!"
The bottom of the two sandbag walls were supported by wood. Following Guo Huai's order, everyone tried their best to lift one end of the wood, and the two wall-like sandbags on the left and right were poured into the breach at the same time.
Everyone's eyes were nervously staring at the breach.
Countless sandbags were swept away by the raging torrent the moment they fell into the breach, without any interception effect.
The eyes of countless people dimmed.
Tan Yan's face was as cold as iron: "We can't stop it at all, Bo Ji (Guo Huai's word), let your soldiers form a human wall! Jump down and push the sandbags again!"
Guo Huai's heart trembled.
This is tantamount to asking soldiers to commit suicide.
But when things come to pass, it has to be like this.
Guo Huai calmly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Behind you are millions of Wei people. The Yellow River embankment cannot be built. It's men who stand up. I want you to form a human wall and jump down. Do you dare?"
The cold wind howls and the Yellow River roars.
There was silence near the breach.
"Yes!" After a while, a soldier shouted and took a step forward.
Guo Huai breathed a sigh of relief, "You are worthy of being a warrior of the Wei Dynasty. Go there to register your name. If you die, you will pay a lot of money to support your family. Who else!"
"I go!"
"I am coming too!"
Not long after, dozens of soldiers stood in a row, arms linked, standing at the edge of the breach. The newly prepared sandbags have been carried up and stacked on both sides of the breach.
Tan Yan knew that these soldiers would never return, so he bowed deeply to them: "Please!"
Guo Huai said seriously: "Down!"
The row of soldiers roared and jumped into the breach without hesitation. The torches immediately shone over the breach, and countless people stared nervously at the rolling torrent.
In front of the huge torrent, dozens of people jumped down and were swallowed up in an instant.
Tan Yan's heart sank.
Guo Huai gritted his teeth and felt cold in his heart.
Suddenly, a head popped out of the water, and then dozens of heads emerged from the water. Everyone held their arms tightly and leaned forward to fight against the rapid torrent.
"Get off the bag quickly!" the person below roared.
Guo Huai's eyes lit up and he quickly ordered: "Put it down! Hurry up!"
People on both sides hurriedly lifted up the wooden sticks underneath and prepared to unload their bags. At this moment, a wave crashed over and dozens of people were instantly submerged.
Tan Yan immediately shouted: "Hurry! Save people!"
People on both sides immediately threw down the ropes they had prepared, but the row of people had already been submerged in the flood and never came out again.
The embankment was deathly silent.
Only the constant sound of waves and turbulence makes people more tragic.
"It's our turn!" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd, and a farmer man came out, "The farmland below is ours, and we must not let it be ruined by the flood. It's your man's duty to follow me."
Then, dozens of men stepped forward without hesitation.
Guo Huai looked at the dozens of men with muddy faces in front of him, his eyes instantly turned red, and he was about to open his mouth to say something, but his throat was suddenly choked.
Tan Yan's voice was hoarse: "The Yellow River cannot burst its banks! Absolutely not! As the official of Puyang's parents, I, Tan Yan, failed to take precautions in advance. The blame lies with me! But I can't die yet. I have to find a way to stop the breach. All brave men, first Take one step, and when you finish, it will be my turn!" He said with tears streaming down his face.
Dozens of strong men were moved and came to the end of the battle with generosity and righteousness.
The people on both sides immediately grabbed the wooden stick at the bottom of the sandbag and stared at Tan Yan, always ready.
Tan Yan's voice has turned from hoarse to hoarse: "Jump!"
The warriors jumped vigorously without hesitation, and fell deeply into the torrent of blows. Everyone stared with bated breath. After a while, the head came out again, and Tan Yan shouted like a roar: "Get off the bag——!"
Countless sandbags quickly poured into the breach.
With the combined force of the human wall and sandbags, the breach was immediately blocked.
The faces of countless people showed the joy of success.
Guo Huai immediately shouted: "Quick! I'm carrying sandbags to block the breach!"
The soldiers and civilians suddenly gained endless strength, running up and down without stopping, throwing bags of sandbags down, and quickly blocking the breach.
Guo Huai and Tan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The breach was finally blocked.
"boom!"
"boom!"
At this moment, two loud sounds sounded one after another, the sound was so loud that everyone was frightened.
Guo Huai and Tan Yan trembled.
Their heads turned backwards like a machine, and they suddenly felt as if their whole bodies were falling into an ice cave. Their four eyes were wide open to the point of confusion.
Countless civilian soldiers stopped and looked at it in horror and despair.
Another larger breach was torn below, and a ruthless, endless, boundless torrent rushed out of the breach and drowned downwards.
Tan Yan's whole body felt weak, and there was only one consciousness left in his brain:
"The Yellow River has burst its banks!"
