"Scoop water! Quick..."

"Find wood to make up the boat..."

The heavy rain is still pouring down.

The flood leaked down and rushed along the Prince River, rushing over countless houses and people on both sides. Finally, it converged with the Liao River and poured into the Liaodong Bay of the Bohai Sea.

A thousand miles of land is formed into a country of marsh.

In Liaoyang City, a huge wooden boat swayed and floated up in a vast ocean.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers scooped the water soaked on the boat with all their might, but they couldn't stop water from gushing out of the broken mouth.

The tied horse struggled wildly, causing a violent shaking...

Wang Xiao was already wet all over. He took a few deep breaths, looked around, and shouted: "Don't lose all the dry food!"

"Quick, throw away the dry food..."

With the current water level, it will be troublesome to float on the water surface for at least two or three days without dry food, but you don’t care much at this time.

The soldiers threw bags of dry food off the boat, and the hull fell a little slower.

Wang Xiao turned his head and saw that the roof of a large wooden house was embedded in the west wall in the distance.

"Scroll over and remove the roof!"

"Marty, the water is too strong to be overwhelming..."

At this time, most of the Chu army were struggling to scoop water, and could only draw out more than a hundred soldiers to row the boat. The big ship was swaying slowly and could only keep it from being washed away in the countercurrent, making it extremely difficult to get close to the roof.

The river water had already submerged Wang Xiao's thighs. He frowned and turned around to look at it. He saw that there was not enough wood elsewhere.

“Pull it over with a rope.”

"I'll do it!"

Qin Shanhu picked up a long rope, tied a long knife and threw it away, and threw it away.

With a thud, the long sword flew far away, but finally fell in the rain, two feet away from the large roof...

“Too far.”

Bai Laohu frowned and thought to himself that Qin Shanhu's arm was powerful and he could not throw it that far away if he had been.

The ship was still sinking, and the water was about to flood everyone's waist.

Wang Xiao had no other ideas for a moment.

Suddenly, a figure jumped into the water on the big roof.

In an instant, the man came out of the water, holding a long sword thrown from Qinshan Lake in his hand. He swam hard a few times, and tried hard to pull the rope around the roof...

"Hurry up!"

Wang Xiao looked at the big roof and saw that a young man was sitting on it. He met the one on the street two days ago.

Thinking of his heart at that time, he didn't even look at the other person more, but today the lives of nearly 20,000 people were all saved by the other person. Wang Xiao felt mixed feelings for a moment.

He waded on the water to the edge of the boat, intending to take the boy himself.

The guards around him surrounded him, quite alert.

Wang Xiao stretched out one hand in the air.

The young man looked at Wang Xiao's hand stretching out, his eyes full of fear and hope to survive.

"Come on." Wang smiled.

The young man nodded and slowly stretched out his hand.

Wang Xiao looked at the other party and spoke up to say something.

Even if he did it again, he would not let the boy go because of pity, but at this time, Wang Xiao still wanted to apologize.

The next moment, the boy's face changed, and a knife tip appeared between his abdomen.

"Well……"

However, a Qing soldier floated out of the water and stabbed him to death with one knife, and then he wanted to chop the ropes.

"Protect the Marquis!"

Qin Xuance threw a spear in his hand and nailed the Qing army into the water with a "puff".

Wang Xiao ran to the edge of the boat in two steps, holding the boy's hand with one hand, but saw that the other party had slowly sunk into the water.

"Stand with your other hand!"

"I am... a Chu person... I am not a slave..." The young man did not stretch out his hand, but poked his head out with all his last strength.

"Official... When Jiannu invaded... I hid my younger brother and sister in the rice jar... Daming Prefecture Pucheng County... My younger brother and sister are in the rice jar... looking for..."

Wang Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Come up, I'll take you home."

The boy did not respond to him again, and his hand gradually became cold.

"Come up! I'll take you home to find your younger brother and sister..."

"Marty, he is dead, retreat sooner, there is danger next to you." Bai Laohu said, holding a knife to guard against the water.

"Quick! It's time to nail the boat!" the soldiers shouted.

Qin Xuance pulled Wang Xiao and retreated into the boat.

Wang Xiao was pulled by him and his hand slipped. The young man's figure was immersed in the flood and disappeared.

"Daming Prefecture, Pucheng County." Wang Xiao said in a low voice.

Qin Xuance sighed deeply: "You know, there are Tibetans in places like rice jar..."

"I know."

Wang Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and ordered: "Snail the boat, row south, go to Longding Mountain to meet Geng Zhengbai."

"yes……"

If you look upstream along the Taizi River, the vast Liaodong mountainous area to the east of Liaoyang City is the vast mountainous area.

During the Warring States Period, Prince Dan of Yan fled here, so the river was named Prince River. It originated from Hongshilizi Mountain and flowed into the Bohai Sea from east to west.

Because the north and south air mass is connected here, heavy rain often occurs, and the terrain is steeper, and mountain torrents often come in turbulent momentum...

Until later generations, the Fuziwo Reservoir was built in the upper reaches of the Taizi River, and the Guanyinshan Reservoir was used for flood control and water supply, and the flood disasters in the Taizi River were reduced. In just a hundred years before the completion of the Fuziwo Reservoir, extremely large floods occurred eight times, and the degree and number of disasters were the highest in the Liaohe River Basin.

Now the Qing Dynasty is entrenched in Liaodong. Although it is not able to build large-scale reservoirs, it is still possible to build water conservancy to ensure people's livelihood.

The Qing Dynasty built a large embankment in the upper reaches of the Prince River, which could not prevent heavy rains in July and August, and a spring flood could still be prevented...unless someone digs the embankment.

Since ancient times, people have to bear the infamy.

The Qin general Wang Ben digs the Yellow River to flood Daliang City, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties and injuries to the Wei State, adding a lot to the name of "Bully Qin";

During the Song Dynasty, Du Chong, a treacherous minister, opened the Yellow River embankment, attempting to block the Jin soldiers. This caused hundreds of thousands of people to be drowned, and the deaths caused by displacement and plague were several times greater. The richest and most prosperous areas of the Lianghuai River during the Northern Song Dynasty were destroyed;

By the Chu Dynasty, Wu Kaimao, a general under the Tang Zhongyuan, dug up the Yellow River embankment and flooded Kaifeng City. Hundreds of thousands of people died, nearly tens of millions of people were homeless and became refugees. Wu Kaimao was awarded the title of "King of Hell of Wu" from then on...

Wang Xiao is not afraid of being infamous.

After a spring flood, since he could not burn Liaoyang as planned, he planned to change the fire to water.

As the saying goes, water and fire blend.

After leaving the city, he built a dam and then broke the dam and released water, many people were willing to take on this job. Wang Xiao felt that Geng Zhengbai was steady in his behavior, so he called him.

Geng Zhengbai left the city the night after taking Liaoyang, led two thousand people seventy miles east, and built Tiba.

Because they were worried that the news would be revealed, they did not dare to take labor, and they all depended on the two thousand soldiers to work themselves.

The first few days went smoothly. They brought enough dry food and hid in the mountains to build embankments. Occasionally, they would kill them when they met Jiannu scouts.

But today, with the Liaoyang war, Jirgalang expanded the scope of scouts' exploration. More and more scouts disappeared, and finally attracted a group of soldiers with a thousand white flags.

At that time, Geng Zhengbai was leading a thousand people to soak in the water to prepare for the decision. He was neither armed nor weapons. A rain of arrows came down, and blood was stained on the river surface, and nearly a thousand soldiers floated on the water.

A thousand soldiers left on the shore were soaked in the water for several days, sleepless and frozen, and their combat power was the lowest. Under the sudden killing of the Qing army, they were killed and injured...

"Breaking the dam! Quick!"

The only thing that responded to Geng Zhengbai was screaming.

Seeing the soldiers falling down one by one, he remembered his loud saying, "The last general will never let down the trust of the marquis." He thought that if the Qing army captured the capital, Tietu Village would be filled with no animals and would almost faint.

"No!"

Geng Zhengbai knew that 20,000 comrades were still waiting for him...

"Go back to the cave to get explosives!"

"Yes, I will never let down the Marquis' trust!"

"Hurry! Brothers are waiting for us!"
