Hong Feng! The experienced flood soldiers immediately saw the danger!

Under the torrential rain, the water level of the Yellow River, which was already swollen and overflowing, was higher and the flow rate was faster. The flood flow rate of the Yellow River from west to east was already turbulent. Under the heavy rain, the water level rose rapidly to the peak, forming one stream after another.

A wave capable of destroying everything!

Looking at the flooding in front of them, the flood soldiers shouted loudly: "The peak of the flood! The peak of the flood is coming again!"

When the surrounding migrant workers heard that the flood peak was coming, they all looked horrified. Everyone knew what the appearance of the flood peak meant. If they did not avoid it in time, everyone would be swallowed up by the huge flood peak and disappear in the rapid flood.

But looking at the dangerous embankment in front of them, no one retreated.

When Eunuch Wei heard that Hong Feng was coming, he quickly pulled Zhu Youxiao's sleeve: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please listen to my advice, you can't take risks!"

"You are incognito for a private visit. The slave will listen to you. If you want to come to Henan, the slave will listen to you. If you come to Xingyang, the slave will not be able to stop you. But now the flood is coming. You have to leave here quickly. If something happens to you,

The Ming Dynasty is over, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. The ministers in the palace are all anxious to death if they can't find you. Once someone has thoughts that they shouldn't have, there will be a big problem, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao let Eunuch Wei pull his sleeves and stared at the swelling river.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty had many infatuations, and everyone had their own hobbies and specialties. Each emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not easy to get along with. If their temperaments came together, who could stop them?

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao couldn't be dragged away, Eunuch Wei quickly said to Zhang Haogu who was standing aside: "Master Zhang, why are you still standing there? Take the emperor away quickly. This flood is coming and there is an accident. You and I are the ones who are here."

Sinner of the ages."

The actions of Zhu Youxiao, Eunuch Wei and Zhang Haogu did not attract the attention of the people around them, because everyone's attention was now focused on the swollen river.

The seventh-rank official who led Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu over stood on the embankment and shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers!"

"Men and women from all over the world are coming to help!"

"The flood peak is coming. If the flood peak cannot be stopped and the dam in Xingyang collapses again, then the whole of Henan will suffer!"

"Aren't we here just to block the flood and prevent other places from suffering?" "We must block this flood peak!"

"Everyone in the family, including an old one and a young one, is an only child. Come out. I can't let your family lose its backbone."

None of the villagers who gathered around stood up, and the seventh-rank official became anxious: "What are you doing, the elders and the younger ones don't care?!"

A man shouted: "Magistrate Huang, don't you also have a seventy-year-old woman at home?"

Magistrate Huang took off his bamboo hat and let the downpour hit his face: "I, Huang Liqing, am the magistrate of Xingyang! I am the parent official of Xingyang! I have to be responsible for the big guys in Xingyang."

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. I, Huang Liqing, have been entrusted by the imperial court and the governor with the important task of guarding the Xingyang Dam. How can I retreat!"

The fellow villagers shouted: "Magistrate Huang, we will not retreat!" "Yes! Magistrate Huang, we will not retreat either!"

"We are all raised by our parents. We are all good men just like you!" "We will guard this Xingyang Dam together with you!" "Yes, we will guard it together!"

Looking at these diligent people, Huang Liqing didn't know whether it was rain or tears on his face. He grinned, took a Ming Dynasty mountain, river, sun and moon flag from the hand of a flood soldier on the side, and then placed it heavily at his feet: "Today,

I, Huang Liqing, have the honor to guard this dike with my fellow villagers and set up the flag here. The flag is there, the dike is there, and the people are there."

"Fathers and fellow villagers, block Hongfeng!"

Shouting, Huang Liqing took the lead in carrying a bag of sand and rushed to the gap. The fellow villagers behind also picked up the sand, shouted slogans and rushed up the river embankment with Huang Liqing, throwing bags of sand into the gap.

Zhu Youxiao watched this scene, and he also moved. He picked up a bag of sand from the ground and ran towards the river embankment. Zhang Haogu and Zhang An were on the side carrying two bags of sand and followed behind. Eunuch Wei was anxious.

He stamped his feet and said to the guards dressed as farmers around him: "Why are you still standing there? Follow and protect the emperor. If something goes wrong with the emperor, let's apologize together!"

Thick lead clouds covered the sky. In the gloomy sky, the biting cold wind kept whistling. The heavy rain hit people and hurt their cheeks. The strong winds and rains chilled people to the bone. The layers of low lead clouds were even louder.

It is something that weighs heavily on everyone's heart, making people despair when looking at the roaring Yellow River.

Can such a flood really be stopped? How to stop it?

Bag after bag of silt was thrown into the gap, and was washed away by the flood in a blink of an eye. Even if it was blocked by wood, it would be washed away in a moment.

Seeing a black line appearing in the distance, the peak of the flood is coming!

When this flood peak comes, the current dams in Xingyang will definitely not be able to support them and will all collapse!

The people threw sandbags and stones into the floodwaters in an attempt to fill the gap, but it was really unsustainable. The floods were too turbulent and the water flow was too fast. These sandbags and stones disappeared in the floods as soon as they were removed, and they could not stop them at all.

live.

"Magistrate Huang, we can't stop it!" A flood soldier shouted loudly. "The flood peak, the flood peak is coming!"

"Young and old men, please work harder. Throw rocks, wood, sandbags, whatever you have. This hole must be blocked!"

"Fathers and fellow villagers, for the sake of the family, the young and the old, and for the sake of the family's fields, we must block the gap!"

The villagers screamed and threw rocks and sand into the gap. It was impossible to tell whether it was rain or sweat on their faces. Everyone could hardly open their eyes, and their bodies were extremely wet and cold.

Huang Liqing looked at the flood peaks approaching from far away, and then looked at the dam in front of him. He gritted his teeth, tied a hemp rope around his waist, handed it to the villagers on the side, and then jumped with a bag of sand in his arms.

Entered the gap.

This frightened the people around him: "Huang County Magistrate, what are you doing?!" "Huang County Magistrate, come back quickly!" "Huang County Magistrate, this is not possible, how can anyone stop the flood!"

However, a man also imitated Huang Liqing's example and tied a rope around his waist and handed it to his brother: "Brother, you have done it."

With that said, the man also jumped into the flood water with a bag of sand to bet on the gap.

Immediately afterwards, the New Army soldiers took off their raincoats one by one, jumped into the flood water with sandbags in their hands, and formed the first human wall like Huang Liqing. Huang Liqing couldn't help shouting: "Why did you get down?"

A school lieutenant laughed and said: "Magistrate Huang, I used to look down on you readers, but now I find that I was wrong. Not all readers are like those Donglin Party members who only know how to embezzle, ask for bribes, and deceive superiors and subordinates."

, there are real men like you."

"You can come down as a reader, why can't we Ming soldiers?"

Seeing the soldiers of the New Army also entering the water, the common people could not sit still. One by one, the men tied ropes around their waists. The elder brother handed it to his younger brother, and the father handed it to his son. Then he picked up bags of sand and jumped into the rapids. in the flood.

Zhang Haogu did not hesitate and tied a rope around his waist: "Anzi, grab it."

As he spoke, Zhang Haogu jumped into the river with two bags of sand and used his body to block the gap in the dam like the other villagers around him.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help it anymore. He looked around and handed the rope to Eunuch Wei: "Wei Banban, grab it."

Without waiting for Eunuch Wei's reaction, Zhu Youxiao also jumped in. Then Huang Zongxi and the other guards followed suit and jumped into the flood one by one holding sandbags to bet on the gap.

The peak of the flood has arrived.

With the impact of wave after wave of turbulence, the flood peak went from far to near, from fast to slow, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from a black line to a rolling torrent, as if the roar of thousands of horses galloping exploded in everyone's ears. It rushed towards me with a roar, and fell on the embankment like a heavy burden, and on the ridges and beams of every villager who stood in the flood and carried the peak of the flood.

The flood of tens of millions of people was photographed, and several men fell into the flood immediately after being unable to hold on. People around them quickly stretched out their hands to pull them up to the water.

Everyone trampled the sandbags and rocks under their feet, then held their arms one after another, gritting their teeth and staring at the flood in front of them.

come on!

After surviving many critical situations these days, would a dignified man still be afraid of a flood from you?

Wave after wave, the turbulent floods hit people's bodies. In the turbid floods, from time to time, rocks and wood rolled in the undercurrent, hitting the embankments and human walls.

But from the beginning to the end, everyone gritted their teeth, held each other's arms tightly, gritted their teeth, and held on for dear life. No one was willing to fall down at this time.

The soldiers of the new army formed the first human wall, followed by the common people forming the second human wall, followed by the third and fourth human walls!

The soldiers and people of the Ming Dynasty held hands in this way, blocking the flood, blocking in front of the dam, connecting with the dam with their flesh and blood, blocking the turbulent peak of the flood.

The rolling floods were turbulent and swift, with billions of kilograms of water hitting everyone's body, trying to destroy this human embankment. However, no matter how fierce the flood was, this human wall stood here and never fell or retreated.

The strong winds were still howling, the heavy rain had continued for five days, and the floods seemed to be endless, roaring, crashing, and slapping against the human walls.

However, the soldiers and people of the Ming Dynasty standing in the flood always stood there, letting the biting cold wind blow their muscles and bones, and letting the cold and rapid flood impact their bodies. The flag of the Ming Dynasty standing on the embankment, even if it was hit by the rain, Soaked and tangled in the flagpole by the howling wind, it still stood there without being blown down.

As time passed, the flood became more and more fierce. A flood peak passed by. Before the soldiers and civilians could take a breath, another black line in the distance visible to the naked eye quickly enlarged in sight, followed by the roar of thousands of horses galloping. The sound made everyone's hearts rise to their throats: Another flood!

The people on the shore couldn't stand any longer, and a group of men rushed into the flood carrying rocks and sandbags. This Xingyang dam must not collapse!

If the dike in Xingyang collapses, the subsequent prefectures and counties will be ruined, and Kaifeng will not be able to hold on!

The flood peak swept over again, as powerful as thunder. Wave after wave of floods gathered into high and roaring waves, just like the waves crashing on the shore, and like the mountains collapsing. In an instant, the flood peak, which was ten feet high, crashed head-on.

Down, not past the human wall.

The flood became more turbulent and rapid, and the soldiers and people standing in the flood struggled to support themselves. Some people disappeared into the river, and others immediately filled the vacancies to prevent the flood from breaking down the embankments.

In the howling wind and the pouring rain, the people and soldiers in the flood couldn't hear anything at all. The people around them were shouting at the top of their lungs. Everyone was holding on for breath and holding back the flood.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the wind stopped and the rain stopped. The strong wind lost its power and dissipated without a trace. The heavy rain also reached its end and gradually stopped from a continuous drizzle.

The rain cleared up and the dark clouds dispersed. The soldiers and civilians who were still holding on despite being dizzy from being hit by the flood suddenly discovered that the sun was shining through the thick clouds, and the flood peak was finally over.

"It's stopped raining, it's stopped raining, it's stopped raining!" "Hahahaha! It's stopped raining! It's stopped raining!"

The people cried excitedly. The heavy rain that lasted for five days finally stopped, and the flood peak finally passed.

The soldiers and people in the flood looked at me and I looked at you, and each one of them could not help but burst into tears and cheers:

"God bless Henan, the heavy rain has stopped!"

"The flood has passed, we have made it, we have made it!" "Hahahaha, God bless, God bless!" "The rain has stopped, the rain has stopped, God, the flood has passed!"

At this moment, the people and soldiers' bodies and faces were covered in mud, but no one cared about it, and no one disliked it. Everyone was laughing and crying happily.

Huang Liqing couldn't help but laugh. He was already exhausted. If it weren't for the breath in his heart, he would have collapsed long ago.

Now he could no longer hold on and staggered and fell into the flood.
