At this time, no one among the accompanying ministers was thinking about the official's purpose of bringing them to the dam break. All they could think about was Linghu Jiu's miserable situation...
Are the officials trying to set a warning to others?
Otherwise, the officials would not have brought so many servants and braved heavy rain to such a dangerous place.
Only by speaking the Dharma through one's own body can one touch the soul.
We have passed by, we have completely passed by, the official family is still going forward, and if we go further, we will reach the dam break...
"Guan family, there is already a gap ahead..."
Even Wang Anshi didn't try to persuade him at this time, but gave him a relatively tactful reminder.
"If you want to save the people who were washed away, closing the gap and slowing down the water flow is the first step! I just want to close the gap!"
How to block it? This is not a matter of shouting slogans.
Wang Anshi opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out. He didn't know what to say.
"Zirong, Mingzhong, have everything been properly arranged?"
Zhao Xi called Su Song over, as well as Li Jie.
"Back at the official's house, everything is ready. The width of the gap is now close to the length of the carriage. I think it's feasible!"
A group of ministers were even more confused. They came out of Linghu Jiu's misery, but were confused by the conversation between the officials and Su Song.
What do you mean? Is this to plug the gap? What should I use to plug it?
I didn't go any further, it was really close, just the distance of a carriage.
The soldiers were pushing the carriage, and the front was already on the edge of the gap...
The dam surface was originally made of cement and although it was riddled with potholes due to heavy rains, it was still possible for horse-drawn carriages to move forward.
Under the watchful eyes of the accompanying ministers, Li Jie directed the soldiers to push the carriage forward bit by bit...
The officials summoned several of them to discuss it.
Fill a carriage with bags and bags of cement and push it directly down the embankment to the gap, which can block the flow of water in an instant and slow down the flow of water.
Li Jie had to admire the officials' approach!
However, how to make the pushed carriage get stuck sideways on both sides of the gap is a matter of discussion and a difficult problem.
At the headquarters, officials hosted several discussions and finally formed a plan.
At this time, Shen Tianci was on the other side of the gap in the dam, pulling a carriage with sixteen draft horses, and there were also sixteen track soldiers who knew how to control horses on standby at any time...
"Bang...bang..."
Suddenly there were two explosions, and two fireworks exploded in the dense rain curtain, rushing into the sky against the heavy rain...
Immediately afterwards...
"Whoosh...whoosh...dingdong...~"
The ministers and workers were still confused, just watching the operations ahead in a daze.
I didn't dare to say anything because I couldn't understand it at all.
"Hook..."
Li Jie roared with all his strength. In the sound of rain, he was not sure that the soldiers responsible for the operation could hear him. However, he could not command the soldiers on both sides at the same time. He could only stand on the roof of the cement-filled carriage.
.
The roof of this carriage has been removed, and Li Jie is standing on those cement bags that are almost like mud...
After Li Jie finished shouting, he frantically wanted to run in both directions. He needed to make sure that the hook that was shot from the opposite side at the first moment and hung on this carriage must be firm!
"Report the situation!"
"Eight hooks hang the whole thing!"
"Eight hooks hang the whole thing!"
At this time, Li Jie turned around and ran towards the rear of the carriage. At the same time, a soldier lit the fireworks again...~
"Bang...bang...~"
"Everyone is here, one or two...start!"
Li Jie, who was on the roof of the carriage, continued to roar...
Hundreds of soldiers, one after another, began to push the carriage toward the gap.
The rope hanging from the hook on the carriage was also tightened at the same time.
This is the method for officials to preside over discussions.
On the opposite side of the gap, use sixteen horses to pull and push at the same time, so that the carriage filled with cement can run. After the speed reaches a certain level, when it falls into the gap, it can fall to the gap under the action of inertia.
Continue to the opposite side...~so that this carriage will fall directly into the gap in such a long and smooth state.
At this time, Zhao Xi was also nervous. He was nervous about the speed at which the carriage was running and whether he would have time for Li Jie to jump out. He was also nervous about the speed at which the carriage was running and whether it would lead to a sudden fall as he expected.
Whether the water flow can be slowed down really depends on this. In this era, there is really no other way to plug the gap. This is the only way Zhao Xi can think of.
A rumbling sound sounded, and the loaded carriage began to run on the bumpy top of the embankment. Accompanied by the roar of the soldiers, it quickly rushed towards the gap...~
About to fall...~
This is not a speeding car, and there is no slope here. This is just the most likely idea in Zhao Xi's mind.
After all, it is a load-bearing carriage. When there is no load-bearing weight from the dam body, it will naturally fall downwards...~
Zhao Xi's heart was very tight, and he naturally wanted to run forward, to get closer to the gap to see if the fallen car could still maintain its straight length.
"The official family can't go any further!"
The accompanying ministers were stunned, guessing, and sighing, but Wang Zhongzheng did not forget his duty and held Zhao Xi tightly...
"Guan family, we really can't move forward!"
At this time, the first minister to wake up was Han Qi. Seeing Wang Zhongzheng's behavior, he quickly spoke out to dissuade him.
Then, the ministers began to block in front of Zhao Xi, preventing Zhao Xi from moving forward.
It’s so scary! Who of them understands this? If an accident occurs, you have to find a way to make this plan work!
But... Zhao Xi also knew that it was really not suitable for him to move forward at this time. The moment the carriage was pushed down, the gap collapsed a little again...~
"The official family is done! The official family is done!"
The broken roar of Kai Li Jie came from the gap...~
It’s done! Zhao Xi couldn’t help but hit his left palm with his right fist.
At this time, some of the ministers and workers should have understood.
"The water flow has slowed down..."
"The water flow has really slowed down..."
Noisy discussions began among the ministers.
"Bang...bang...~"
There were two more fireworks, once again confusing the ministers.
"Raise the net!"
Li Jie's broken gong voice howled again.
Then, the few hundred soldiers who were pushing the cart suddenly split into two lines...~
"Turn back! Run and walk!"
At this time, the ministers and workers saw clearly that the neat ranks of soldiers were connected with a rope.
As the soldiers ran towards the rear, the rope began to tighten gradually, and a large net that originally covered the roof of the fallen carriage was pulled up by the rope...
Before I could fully understand this operation, there was suddenly another neat "papa" sound that could cover the sound of the rain... This was the sound of footsteps.
As the footsteps approached, the ministers saw soldiers carrying cement bags on their shoulders heading towards the gap that had slowed down the water flow...~
As they approached the gap, each soldier dropped the cement bags on their shoulders into the gap.
The tight ropes and the large nets effectively prevented the cement bags from being washed away by the water, allowing everyone to see with the naked eye that bags of cement bags slowly blocked the gap...
At this time, the ministers and workers came back to think about this series of operations, and they had to admit that this was really a genius idea.
