Chapter six hundred and ninety-four: Zhu Thief, Song Ni, disaster for the country and the people
Morale:73,75,77...84,86,85!
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Zhu Biao was laughing wildly in his heart, laughing silently. The 'god' he did this time really boosted the morale of his army. He exceeded the target by 85 points. And this
Or it was because the 40,000 to 50,000 Liyang refugees recruited by the army generally lowered morale. If it were just the more than 40,000 Song Army veterans, the morale value could easily exceed the 90 mark.
For example, the morale of a cavalry battalion is as high as 93 points!
Previously, they severely beat the Jiazhou Army and captured 20,000 people, but their morale was barely maintained at around 70. But with this sudden idea, the harvest was beyond imagination.
Superstition indeed had a market in ancient times.
Pushing open the window and looking at the pouring rain falling outside, an uncontrollable excitement surged in Zhu Biao's heart.
If a person does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. In order to survive, he has to deal with the raging floods!
The 'weather forecast' in his mind told Zhu Biao that it would rain continuously in the next five days. In this way, wave after wave of floods would raise the Canglan River to its peak. Although the Canglan River is far from being as terrestrial as the Yellow River.
The Xuanhe River has never experienced floods. In the past few days, Zhu Biao has checked all the places where the Canglan River has flooded in the past five hundred years. With his current strength and his natural attributes,
Water, it is completely easy to carry out activities secretly!
If this kind of thing is done like the "Huayuankou breach", Zhu Biao will definitely be infamous all over the world, but so what? This breach can "kill all" the imperial court's 400,000 troops, even if he is scolded again, Song
He was also happy that the army was out of danger.
Even Zhu Biao thought that if the imperial court did not maintain its own identity and believed that it was fully confident, they might take advantage of the sudden increase in the Canglan River to open up the Binshui River. This kind of thing is "profitable" even though it is against the people's support.
, who doesn’t want to do it?
Those who "win the people's hearts in the world" are fools. Violence is the first element to win the world. Otherwise, how could there be such Hu dynasties as the Wuhu, Jin, Meng Yuan and Manchu Qing in Chinese history.
It rained heavily for two days and started to lighten up.
The water in the Canglan River was at least three feet higher than before the heavy rain. Zhu Biao waited for the news that Yin Dakai had completed his mission.
The Song Army had half the number of large and medium-sized ships, with the majority being a full 1,560 ships. Ten ships in a row, five in a row, and three rows, filling half of the Binshui River estuary. The ships were fully covered.
It is covered with thick wooden boards. Standing on it, one cannot feel much vibration despite the current turbulence of the Canglan River.
No wonder Cao Cao's chain warships can race horses, they are really stable.
On the afternoon of the third day, on the bow of the ship, Zhu Biao was surrounded by the King of Song and Yin Dakai, as well as a group of generals such as Qu Wutong and Chen An. Looking at the rolling waves of the river under the bow, everyone was not only secretly thinking
Cowardly. When the current is so fast, even if a martial arts master dives, he may not be able to save his life.
"Zhu Shuai, think twice, think twice!" The King of Song had no psychological burden at all about Zhu Biao's preparation to breach the Canglan River. However, he was greatly worried about whether Zhu Biao could do it, or even whether he could save his life.
This is not floating. This is diving! The danger has increased tenfold. The underwater turbulence and dark vortex, in the current situation of the Canglan River, each one is more than a thousand pounds of strength!
In his heart, King Song was absolutely unwilling to take risks with Zhu Biao.
But how could he stop this?
Carrying a bone sword in his hand and wearing a mid-level silver shark water support, the resistance in the water is -20%. The swimming speed is +20%, and the physical recovery is +10%. With a deerskin bag hanging on his waist, Zhu Biao jumped up and smiled at the King of Song.
Jump up and cross the water for more than ten or twenty feet, like a swimming fish, without making any big waves, quietly blending into the water.
This was the first time for a group of people on the bow to see Zhu Biao performing Qing Kung with all his strength. Although they knew that he was a peerless master in the Gangsha realm, he could jump twenty feet away, and their eyes all opened wide in shock.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Shuai has great martial arts skills and extraordinary qinggong. Although the Canglan River is very fast, it will not endanger his life."
King Song stared blankly at the water, seemingly not hearing the words of the middle-aged scribe behind him who was dressed as a scholar.
And if Zhu Biao was still here, he would definitely have a lot of respect for this middle-aged scholar, because he was a grandmaster, one of the only two grandmasters in the Song Dynasty. The other one had already moved with Princess Song and the Crown Prince.
Arrived in Beijing.
"Ouch!" It was so dark. Zhu Biao plunged into the water and immediately felt a huge pressure from the side, pushing him to roll down. He did not resist with force, but swung his legs sideways.
Changed to a vertical row, and swam rapidly downstream along the flowing water like a fish.
Naturally, he opened his eyes in the middle. The river was so murky that he couldn't see anything from a distance of one foot. But Zhu Biao's 'feeling' was still there. When he closed his eyes, he could feel the flowing water within a radius of three feet.
every move.
There are fish passing by, water rushing towards you from the side... everything is under control.
With his legs like the tail of a fish, Zhu Biao magically turned a corner in the water and avoided a dark whirlpool right in front of him.
The distance of less than a mile was quickly reached. At the first water-breaking mouth, Zhu Biao quickly floated up. Above his head was a large black mass, which was all the bottom of the boat. There were many algae on it!
The person quickly touched the river bank, and his tentacles were made of cold stone. As the Canglan River's estuary closest to Qianjiang City, the Huizhou governor's office in the past dynasties would focus on renovating the area here. A long strip of bluestone was used to build the city wall.
Long bluestones are much larger than long bluestones.
One foot long and three feet square. Each of these long strips of bluestone weighs no less than ten thousand kilograms. Cui Gonglai was lucky. His first two governors of Huizhou were both good and conscientious officials, building river embankments and regulating river channels.
There was no cutting corners. Otherwise, the scene that happened in Liyang County this year would never have happened in Qianjiang City.
It's a pity that no matter how good things are, they can't stop man-made damage. With the quality of the Canglan River embankment, I can't say that it will not be damaged in fifty years, but it can be guaranteed to be in good condition in ten or twenty years.
But what happened when Zhu Biao thrust his sword into the middle of the long bluestone?
After moving the Gangsha, the dazzling bright color still appeared on the sword. Zhu Biao danced from top to bottom with the bone sword, like cutting tofu, turning the originally solid and indestructible water embankment into a pile of tofu dregs.
"Boom, boom, boom..." A ten-gold thunderbolt. Zhu Biao smashed seven of them on the tofu dregs in one breath, as if he didn't take the money as money.
The King of Song and his party, who were still at the mouth of the Binshui River, saw water columns rising several feet high at the first 'mark' of 'bang bang bang' less than a quarter of an hour after Zhu Biao entered the water.
They could see clearly through the telescope that the river embankment, which had nothing to do with it at all, was like a mound of sand being washed away by the sweeping Canglan River at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The surging river suddenly found a outlet. Thousands of tons of river water passed through the breach crazily, enlarging the small breach continuously. And the boats docked on the surrounding riverbanks were also flowing.
Staggering around under the wash, colliding with each other...
"Okay!" King Song shouted loudly. All the worries about Zhu Biao in his heart disappeared at this moment, and there was only endless joy and passion.
He really did it!
Zhu Biao, who was in the water, had already left the breach immediately and was swimming desperately. God, the suction force generated instantly by the breach in the river bank was really stronger than the black hole encountered in the cold pool of Jiulian Mountain.
"Pfft." A head appeared on the river. Zhu Biao wiped the water from his face and turned to look at the scene behind him. It was really spectacular. The gap in the river embankment continued to increase as the river water poured in, and the strong embankment in the past was missing.
After opening a hole, it became as sparse as a mound. The more than 100 civilian ships parked there were the largest civilian ships under the rebuilt Huizhou Navy. Now they were all washed up and staggered. Who let them
Where were the anchors lowered before? In order not to be shaken by the rapids of the river, the anchors were lowered one by one and died.
Now this is self-inflicted. Although not a few ships capsized, there were many that collided with each other. Zhu Biao didn't even see a single ship that could escape this disaster.
The result of Zhang Bangyan's hard work for half a month. The highlight is that these more than a hundred large civilian ships have now been completely destroyed.
The corner of his mouth curled up in satisfaction, and Zhu Biao plunged in again.
The purpose of his operation was not only to target the rebuilt Huizhou Naval Camp, but also to target the defenseless 400,000-strong army. Compared to the latter, the former was critical, but its threat to the Song army was still pitifully small.
.
"Bang bang..."
The Canglan River section south of the mouth of the Binshui River. For half a day, there was a dull sound like thunder in the sky. The result was the emergence of water breaches one after another.
The fertile Qianjiang area has become the flood discharge area of the Canglan River, and rolling river water pours into the west bank of the Canglan River every moment.
Countless houses were flooded, countless fertile fields turned into oceans, and the 400,000 unprepared imperial troops suffered heavy losses due to the sudden flood. Even more people in Qianzi County became overwhelmed by this sudden disaster.
Nothing left.
Cui Gonglai stood at the head of Qianjiang City, looking at the scene of the city soaking in water, so he just fell into the water and died cleanly. It was better than staying in this world and being humiliated!
How could the Canglan River suddenly flood? How could such a strong embankment be washed away by the flood? Cui Gonglai is not Bi Yuanzhen. Where can we be greedy? Where can we not be greedy? Where can we be more greedy?
Where should I be less greedy? The family is clean and the family is clean. Why doesn't God open his eyes?
There are 400,000 troops and more than 100,000 deployed in the area along the river. If a flood breaks out now, wouldn't it be all over? And the main force deployed in the city, such as Qianjiang City, is still strong, and not too many people will die, but
How to fight? The whole city is soaked in water. You can hide from the water on the walls and roofs, but you can't fight. There is also the problem of food, eating...
"Why are you dragging me? It would be better for me to die!" These were Cui Gonglai's sincere words.
Zhu Biao would not favor one against another. After destroying the five execution gates along the Canglan River, he did not continue to work hard downstream, but swam back to the mouth of Binshui River with all his strength. Without even taking a breath, he stood before the King of Song Dynasty.
Under the eyes of the others, three more holes were opened on the south bank of Binshui River.
As I said before, big rivers are full of water and small rivers are full. Although the Canglan River has five outlets to release floods, the water line is still far beyond the warning water level of Binshui River. When Zhu Biao opened these three gaps, he didn't see them
However, King Song and others could see clearly that the torrential river water continued to pour in and wash away the three gaps, like falling dominoes. The embankment on the south bank of Binshui River continued to collapse and fall.
Two of the nearby breaches were connected together before Zhu Biao returned to the north bank. One can imagine how powerful the flood was.
Let's talk about the west bank of the Canglan River. Among the 200,000 troops sent by the imperial court, 30,000 were the personal guards of General Shen Yiyi, and they were also the elite forbidden troops from the imperial capital Tianjing.
These 30,000 people were camped thirty miles south of Qianjiang City and ten miles west of the Canglan River. Shen Yiyi had unified jurisdiction over the deployment of troops and horses on the defense line in the Canglan River section south of Qianjiang City, as well as the defense of Zhou soldiers on the south bank of the Binshui River.
There have been heavy rains in the past two days, and finally there are signs that the rain has subsided today. Shen Zhouyi was very happy. He sat in the tent and was talking to the commander of the army, Shi Shou. He could only hear thousands of horses galloping outside, and the army was shaking. Shen Zhouyi
Shocked, he hurried out of his tent and mounted his horse to take a look, only to see floods coming from all directions. The three armies were running wild, and countless people were following the waves. The water rose more than ten feet high from the flat ground, and suddenly lost its color. He hurriedly joined the generals and commanders in the army
History, joined the army and waited to climb high to avoid water.
Wherever the mighty floods passed, houses collapsed, leaving a vast expanse of white water.
There was no cement in this era. Houses were all civil structures and could not withstand the ravages of floods, which made the sudden flood even more powerful.
"It's a crime, it's a crime. I wish the thief, Song Ni, a hundred miles of peace, will bring disaster to the country and the people, and you will not have a good death!" Shen Yiyi looked at the soldiers and civilians submerged in the water with eyes wide open. He pointed in the direction of Shuiyi Town and said to
God swears: "I will not behead you two. I swear that I will not be a human being!"
As a general, Shen Zhou was much stronger than Cui Gonglai in some details. Although he and Cui Gonglai agreed to rest for a few days before attacking the Song army, he also personally inspected the banks of the Canglan River dam. Therefore, Shen
It was very clear on Monday that if it were just the force of nature, there would be no problem with the Canglan River embankment. And the reason why this scene appeared today must be that the Song army destroyed the embankment!
Water and fire are the most ruthless. When the river embankments are destroyed, the torrential floods can easily cover hundreds of miles around and turn everything in their path into swamps. This is a real disaster for the country and the people!
The sight turned to Shuiyi Town. Early the next morning, the benchmark placed in the river clearly showed how much the water line had dropped during this period. It was three feet lower than before Zhu Biao entered the water.
Although it was still raining, Song Jun felt warm in his heart. All the guilt disappeared after a night.
Zhu Biao said it very bluntly, "Now we are rebels, rebels, and opponents of the imperial court. If we are caught, we will behead, confiscate our homes, and even implicate our relatives.
Therefore, we are not qualified to sympathize with those on the other side, including many who have just stepped out of Liyang. You must remember that you are no longer common people or refugees, but warriors.
As a warrior, you must have the consciousness to die in battle. The consciousness to die!
The opposition between life and death is the current relationship between the court and us. Either you die or I live, there is no other way.
I don’t want to die, and I don’t want you to die. Soldiers who have the consciousness to fight to the death do not necessarily have to die in the fight, we can still live.
Although my method of doing this is very dirty and shameless, and will earn me a lot of infamy, it can keep us alive.
Because there is an army of 400,000 people on the opposite side, fighting head-on, everyone will die, and there is no possibility of victory. Therefore, I would rather be infamous in the world, and I will go out alive and take you out alive!
Do you want to die in a dignified battle, or do you want to... just live like this?
I chose the latter. It is better to die than to live! No matter how many people I feel sorry for, at least I can still see my relatives!"
Seeing his wife and children, his mother and little sister, his brothers and siblings. Zhu Biao has never been a desperate person!
These words turned the commotion in the camp into a commotion. Finally, after the night, Zhu Biao saw that the morale of the troops in the status bar had risen to 90.
People all have bad natures. This incident is the clearest evidence!
Human nature is self-interested and selfish.
Therefore, selflessness is a virtue praised throughout the ages.
"Cross the river!" Standing at the bow of the chain boat, Zhu Biao waved his long sword.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong..." The ear-splitting war drums sounded, and the shouts of the oars were as loud as a song.
Ten ships in a row, five in a row, and fifty large and medium-sized ships connected into one giant ship are like an indestructible castle standing in the wind and rain. No matter how the water in the river hits the hull, the chain of warships will not move at all.
On the side of a series of warships, on dozens of scattered large, medium and small boats, sailors were also rowing hard. If they were to cross the river alone, it would be difficult for them to cross the river as fast as the Canglan River.
Crossing. The force from the sides all the time will push them downstream. But now, with a series of warships on the right to protect them from wind and rain, their crossing is much easier.
When the river for two or three miles came to an end, dozens of large, medium and small boats successfully entered through the gap in the river embankment. Thanks to the fact that these were civilian merchant ships, if they were warships with a deep draft, they might not be able to get in. Or
They all ran aground after a short journey!
Not a single one of the dozens of civilian ships stayed in the gap. After taking over the elite soldiers and armor carried by the serial ships, all the ships rowed deeper towards the west coast without looking back.
They are the vanguard of the Song Army's operations today, and they are also the pioneers who opened the way and explored the way.
As long as everything goes well, they will fight all the way to Qianjiang City. If everything goes wrong, it means they all run aground in the middle.
And if this is true, and the water depth on the west bank of the Canglan River cannot even bear the weight of a small boat, then Zhu Biao will be in trouble again.
But soon, news came back that excited everyone in the Song Army: large civilian ships sailed smoothly outside Qianjiang City. The entire Qianjiang City was filled with water more than four feet deep!
