Chapter two hundred and sixty, Lancang roars
"We're finally here, Wang Jiantang. He ordered the city to start to deploy defense!" Jiang Zhuying stabbed a somewhat stunned Western Alliance soldier with a shot, and a hint of excitement finally appeared on his tired face.
Zhang Yu also murmured to himself, and the saber in his hand almost fell to the ground.
At this time, the Han soldiers had tried their best. For Zhang Yu and others who knew the inside story, the battle situation was decided at this moment. Unless the Western coalition could fly, they would not escape the boundless sea of suffering, so they would do this.
"What's the sound?" Fernando at the ferry also heard the sound, narrowed his eyes, and the rumbling sound in his ear sounded familiar in the drizzle, but he couldn't remember what it was.
"Sir, what is the sound?" Staff Officer Blanco said strangely.
"It seems to be the sound of water?" Vilford listened carefully for a while and said.
"Where is Jiang Kaishan?" Fernando suddenly shouted, waving his arm nervously.
"Your Excellency, he is still a big nutritional disease later." Blanco said helplessly, thinking that Master Xindao why is he so forgetful today?
"Vilford, do you remember that Jiang Kaishan said that the Lancang River channel is too shallow and not suitable for fleet access?" Fernando gritted his teeth.
"Well, even in the dry season, for such a river, the waterline is too shallow... No, it's a flood and a Han army. They must have intercepted the upstream river!" Vilford suddenly woke up.
"Yes." Fernando seemed to have guessed it long ago, looking coldly at the Western Alliance soldiers who were still fighting in front of him, but he had no intention of escaping.
"Your Excellency, let's go!" Blanco also woke up, waved his hand, and several personal guards rushed up and pulled Fernando up.
"Let's go? If we can reach the hilly area where Daying is located two miles away on the other side of the shore within one minute, there will be a glimmer of hope, otherwise where can we go now?" Fernando looked calm at this moment.
"Arriving on the boat, there are still a few warships there." Villford ran towards the ferry.
There are several medium-sized warships carrying basic strategic materials docked there.
"You go!" Fernando didn't want to die, but at this moment he felt ashamed and pushed Blanco, the subordinate who had followed him for ten years.
Even the demon had a moment of conscience. But how could Blanco escape alone? He gritted his teeth and stepped forward with a few personal guards, grabbed Fernando and ran towards the ferry.
"It's not unfair to have such an opponent, Fernando, died!" Fernando was stiff all over, letting himself be dragged by Blanco and others. At this moment, the command post was already in chaos. Some of the senior Western coalition generals shouted, some were stunned, and some rushed out of the door and headed straight for the ship.
Fernando looked at all this with a calm expression. At this moment, he was not angry or cursed. He just raised his head and looked at the obscure sky. The drizzle kept dripping on his knife-like face.
Forty years, everything is like the continuous mist and rain. When it exists, it is so dull, and the moment of disappearing is only in a blink of an eye.
"The flood is coming-" A few dozen seconds later, just as Vilford and Fernando, who were dragged by his guards, arrived on the battleship, a huge flood rushed into everyone's sight.
"Is this the flood of the last days mentioned in the Holy See's scriptures?" Many people suddenly had such an inexplicable thought.
At this time, some people immediately ran in the opposite direction, while others were stunned and shocked, motionless. In the face of this natural power, any resistance is actually powerless.
The flood was like a huge palm. After breaking free from the constraints of the low rock walls on both sides of the shore, it slapped the two sides of the Lancang River in front of Zhennan Pass.
The warships at the ferry were instantly washed out by the flood several hundred feet away, and were even photographed directly at the bottom of the river. The remaining one or two were shaking and were about to capsize.
The Han soldiers on the city wall were also stunned by all this.
This plan was too terrifying, so only a limited dozen people knew about the plan, including Lei Dongfeng, Jiang Zhuying, Zhang Yu, etc. Even so, the moment the flood rushed, Jiang Zhuying and others were still deeply shocked.
In the face of this flood like a herd of wild horses, all the words were pale. Although the enemy was suffering from this flood, the Han soldiers on the city wall still felt a little unbearable, and even had a little cold all over.
If, if these are really human, what kind of existence is that what is the one who came up with this plan and put it into action? A genius? A demon? Or a great strategist?
No one could answer the questions in the hearts of these Han soldiers. After they were glad that they were people outside the flood, they began to strengthen the city gates under the command of their superiors and began to assist the four people in Zhennanguan to prepare for flood control.
~~~~~~~~
On July 16, 999, the southwestern provincial capital of the Empire, Zhennan Pass.
Jiang Zhuying stood on the city wall and looked outside Zhennan Pass. At this moment, there was already a marsh country outside the pass. Except for a small hilly area on the south bank of the Lancang River, the radius of more than ten miles had been completely swallowed by the flood.
The more than 100,000 Western coalition forces that were just arrogant have now become black spots for wailing in the turbid flood.
"Sir, the city gates have been completely blocked, and there is no water coming into the city gate at present. However, because the river water flows backward, floods are pouring in the drainage channels on all sides. At present, our army is fully helping the four people. The water accumulated in the streets in the city is about half a meter and is still rising slowly." An officer from the vanguard army came to Jiang Zhuying and Zhang Yu.
"We must ensure the safety of the lives of the four people, and strictly prevent people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble in the city. If they disobey the manager, they will kill them!" Jiang Zhuying said sternly.
"Here!" the officer hurriedly ran down.
"How is Xu Dao?" Jiang Zhuying asked Zhang Yu.
"The doctor is rescuing it, but unfortunately Lin Dao is not here. However, Xiao Dao has already taken him a pill, but Xiao Dao is not good at medical skills after all, and he has been unconscious and it is difficult to survive tonight..." Zhang Yu looked a little sad.
"Lin Dao, Grandpa Lin, I have already avenged you!" Jiang Zhuying looked at the coalition soldiers who were wailing in the flood without any sympathy.
"There has been no news from Lei Legion and Lord Als." Zhang Yu hesitated for a while and suddenly said.
"Brother and the others will be fine. They must have been receiving the troops and supplies from the coalition camp. They must have nothing to do." Jiang Zhuying said, as if he was talking to himself, more like a self-reminder. At this moment, the Han army soldier who was extremely brave on the battlefield became so fragile.
~~~~~~~~
"Lei, grab my hand!" Als shouted loudly, rushed down from the hillside beside him, stretched out an arm towards Lei Dongfeng, and behind him Lehagel pulled Als' belt tightly away, and then behind him, Old Daolin Qingping and a group of soldiers were like ropes, holding each of them, watching Lei Dongfeng anxiously struggling in the water.
According to the agreement between Lei Dongfeng and Als, Als hid in the dense forest near Zhennan Pass several days in advance.
Because they are familiar with the contact information between the Western coalition forces, and with the hundreds of them being six in the West, Ars and the others easily avoided several searches of scouts sent by the coalition expedition forces under Fernando.
After Lei Dongfeng stayed behind the camp with a group of Han soldiers in the morning in the name of wind and cold, he wanted to sneak out of the camp and meet with Als after getting up in the morning.
But no one knew that although Fernando allowed him to stay in the camp, he reminded the officers left behind in the camp to strictly prohibit them from walking around the camp at will.
Helplessly, Lei Dongfeng and others could only use static and wait for the opportunity.
It was not until Fernando launched a general attack, mobilizing soldiers in the battalion, and finally only left 10,000 reserve troops and more than 20,000 civilians in the battalion. The supervision was relaxed at this time. But Lei Dongfeng did not choose to leave at this time. There was no way to meet with Ars and others in time. It would be better to defend the hills and wait for the flood to come.
When the flood came, because the terrain here was high, it left the people in the camp with time and space to escape. At this time, no one came to manage Lei Dongfeng and the others.
Lei Dongfeng and his group of more than a dozen people took the opportunity to push out the Ars and others from the woods outside the camp where they stored them in advance, and rushed out of the camp with small boats hidden by branches and vines.
Along the way, Lei Dongfeng Deng Ran looked at the Western Alliance soldiers struggling and wailing in the flood. Although his heart was as hard as iron, he felt a little sad.
During the flood, a small boat carried Lei Dongfeng and others toward the hidden place of Ars and others, a river bay near the Lancang River. Not only was the terrain higher and the water flow was slower, but three medium-sized warships of the empires, as well as the 500 Lei Cavalry led by Ars and 500 sailors led by a vanguard army officer, a total of more than 1,000 people.
When Lei Dongfeng and others approached the river bend, they had an accident. A Western coalition forces rushed over by the floods grabbed the side of the ship. Lin Qingping raised his sword and was about to kill the soldier. Lei Dongfeng felt compassion. Although he would not take the initiative to save these enemies, the unlucky ghost had already grabbed his side of the ship, so he would save his life.
As a result, the unlucky guy used too much force while climbing onto the ship. In addition, a sudden rapid appeared under the water. In order to minimize the danger of being exposed by the Western coalition, the small boat was just enough for more than a dozen people to ride, but it was overturned at this moment. Fortunately, Als and others had prepared long ago on the shore, and they were scratching the hook and the wooden poles together, and finally pulled everyone up.
But Lei Dongfeng was very unlucky because he was sitting at the stern of the boat, not only was he the farthest from the shore, but also because he could swim, he asked Als and others to save others first. He swam ashore by himself, but he didn't know that the flood was in the rapids. Under the impact of the water, he was getting farther and farther away from the shore. When he grabbed the wooden pole handed by the soldiers on the shore, he saw that he was about to reach the shore, and the wooden pole broke. Fortunately, Als quickly looked and grabbed Lei Dongfeng's arm.
Under the joint efforts of everyone, Lei Dongfeng in the flood was finally pulled ashore. After getting ashore, Lei Dongfeng suddenly lay on the grass, gasping for breath, but the feeling of escaping from death was worse than being in Longcheng for two lifetimes.
"You saved my life!" Lei Dongfeng smiled at Alsra, who was sitting beside him.
"You let me go once and pay off my debt." Als said deliberately without caring.
"Okay, I'll try to make you owe me another favor." Lei Dongfeng smiled.
"Then you might as well wait to owe me a favor." Als also laughed.
