Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 725
Chapter 730

"How can the same strategy be used twice?"

Ran Ming laughed and said, "If the generals of Wei are considered fools, then we ourselves are the real fools."

Li Ye asked, "Your Highness, what if we pass through Tongguan?"

Ran Ming asked back: "Who said Gu is going to cross Tongguan?"

"How can we enter Heluo without passing through Tongguan?" Li Ye asked in confusion, "Can we still fly there?"

"We can't fly there, but we can enter Heluo from the Yellow River?"

Ran Ming said: "In the middle and late ten days of each month, the Huaxia Business Alliance will transport a large amount of goods to Chang'an. Calculating the time, if there are no accidents, they will pass through Tongguan tonight!"

"Currently, the water condition of the Yellow River in the Yellow River makes it impossible to cross the river, right?"

Li Ye said: "What's more, we are going down the river? It must be extremely dangerous!"

"Originally, it was impossible for the boat to go down the water!"

Ran Ming said: "It's just that Xie Fei got a talent when he was not at the shipyard."

This person's surname is Wang Mingjia, and his style name is Wannian.Although this Wang Jia is an alchemist, he is proficient in Mohism. He proposed the theory of 36 celestial gangs to Xie Fei, and helped Xie Fei build a large ship with 36 watertight warehouses.

Now this kind of big ship named "Tiangang" ship can sail under various complex hydrological conditions, and can carry more than ten thousand stones, becoming the main ship of the Yellow River transportation!
Although the Yellow River can pass through, but in Sanmenxia (it is said that Dayu controlled the water, he used a magic ax to split the mountain into three sections: human gate, divine gate, and ghost gate. Sanmenxia got its name from this).

Especially in the Guimen section of the canyon, due to the rapid flow of the river and dense reefs under the river, the boats going down the river are not controlled at all, and they directly hit the sacred stone in the river. In all likelihood, the passing boats will be destroyed. things.Therefore, in ancient times, Yellow River transportation generally stopped water transportation at Xin'an or Shengchi.

Although this kind of "Tiangang" ship has a huge hull, its draft is very shallow, and it is extremely easy to control and will not be influenced by wind and current. Since the "Tiangang" ship was put into use, the sinking accident of Sanmenxia ships has almost disappeared.

Sure enough, when a Qilin Guard soldier sent a signal to Ran Ming, four huge river boats appeared on the temporary ferry crossing by the river. Although these river boats also had masts, they were very low.

From a distance, this "Tiangang" boat looks like a turtle lying on the water.Of course, some people also jokingly call Tiangang ship Wangba ship.

It took nearly an hour, when the sky was just twilight, more than [-] cavalrymen all set foot on the "Tiangang" boat,

Ran Ming rushed to a soldier and said, "Now go and clear up the misunderstanding with the Tongguan defenders!"

In this way, Ran Ming led all the cavalry to go to Tongguan by boat.

The Tongguan garrison actually had water defense functions, so they naturally wouldn't intercept Ran Ming in one place.Instead, the troops were divided into two groups, one to chase Xie Ai and the other to report to Yecheng.

When Ran Min in Yecheng got the news, he was relieved immediately. Regardless of the fact that everyone in Wei State supported Ran Min to fight the Jin Dynasty at this time, Ran Min knew that there was no other way.

If he had a choice, Ran Min would not launch the Southward Unification War at this time.

"Pass down the order, and the whole army is on alert."

The big rock in Ran Min's heart has fallen to the ground, and he can finally deal with this angry Yellow River with peace of mind.

But Ran Min didn't know that God made another joke with Wei. The Yellow River, which had just turned from danger to safety, became even more dangerous because of the sudden rainstorm in the middle reaches.

The weather is so strange, the originally sunny weather, the slowly descending water surface of the Yellow River suddenly rises at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ran Ming also discovered this problem when he first arrived in Mengjin.

Ran Ming roared: "Wei Feng led a thousand riders to the north bank, and Zu Yan led a thousand riders to the south bank. You two, lead your troops to patrol the river embankment day and night. If you encounter any hidden dangers, call the police immediately!"

Although Ran Ming arrived in Heluo before the Yellow River flooded, Ran Ming had no idea whether the embankment of the Yellow River could be preserved.

The flood in [-] soaked most of China in the flood, and the loss was astonishing. Ran Ming still remembers it vividly.

Standing on the embankment, Ran Ming looked at the rushing water of the Yellow River, feeling a little dazed.

The Heluo area is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is also a granary. During the war, it was the hardest hit area.Although Wei State has started post-war restoration and reconstruction, the people here are still very poor.

Even if they are landlords, not many people can afford to live in green brick and tile houses, and most of them live in adobe thatched houses.This kind of house can still shelter from the wind and rain in normal times, but the continuous rainstorm has turned many houses into dilapidated houses, and many people's houses have accumulated water for a few feet.

Ran Ming has no ability to guarantee that the embankment of the Yellow River will not be washed away by the flood. In desperation, Ran Ming had to make the worst plan and ordered Qilin Guard to notify the counties to organize the rapid transfer of the old and weak women and children on the spot.

Let each family remove the door panels and wooden beds, use wooden wardrobes or buckets and basins at home to make simple rafts, put food and belongings on them, and transfer them to hills or high places!
And all the young and strong carried three-day rations, shovels, sacks, and wooden stakes, and they went to the nearest river embankment as a clan to prepare for orders.

In this era, farmers still don't have much awareness of flood fighting and disaster relief, including local officials, they will only kneel to the sky and pray for God's blessing.

Fortunately, Ran Ming's instructions were issued in time, and Qilin Weihua used the messenger to pass through the people who were at a loss and let them start to transfer.

Just then, a cavalry galloped over.

"His Royal Highness, the embankment of the river section of Meng County [-] miles away is leaking, and the situation is critical!"

"Then why the fuck are you still standing there!"

Ran Ming immediately got on his horse and shouted at the less than [-] Qilin guards around him: "Don't worry about horsepower, hurry to Meng County in the shortest time!"

Ran Ming said to the soldier who came to report: "You work harder and lead the way."

Li Ye supported his crooked hat and said, "Your Highness, our manpower is too small, and we don't have relief supplies yet!"

Ran Ming said: "Send someone to inform General Zhang Wen who is staying in Luoyang and ask him to send troops to support us!"

A journey of more than [-] miles is nothing more than a stick of incense in the blink of an eye to a fast-charging war horse.

However, when Ran Ming just arrived at the dangerous section of the embankment, Ran Ming suddenly felt cold hands and feet.

The turbulent river was like a beast, hitting the embankment fiercely. The embankment that had been in disrepair for a long time could no longer hold on, and finally a gap the size of a washbasin appeared, and the flood water that found the outlet rushed towards There was almost no pause in the gap, and the gap became more than one foot wide, and then became more than twenty feet wide!
Li Ye said dejectedly: "It's late, it's all over now!"

Ran Ming, who had experienced the [-] flood, knew that the gap was not too big at the moment, and people still had a chance to plug it. ,

Ran Ming roared: "Qilin Wei is not afraid of death and follow Gu!"

After saying that, Ran Ming didn't explain, and jumped directly into the gap.However, Ran Ming was still in the air, but he found a huge force restraining him, making him unable to move.

Ran Ming turned his head and saw that it was Lin Heishan who was breathing hot air from his mouth.

"Lin Heishan, you bastard, why are you hugging an orphan?"

Ran Ming scolded his head and covered his face: "Use your body to block the flood, and then lay a wooden stake, and use a sack to fill the gap with sand and stones, otherwise the Heluo area will become a vast ocean, and all the people will not be spared. If so , Gu will peel off your skin!"

As soon as those Qilin guards heard what Ran Ming said, they didn't dare to put Ran Ming in danger. You must know that floods are merciless, and floods don't care whether Ran Ming is the king of Qin or not.

A brave Qilin Guard warrior jumped into the raging flood first, but unfortunately the flood was so fierce that he was like a stone thrown into the sea, and was washed away without a trace by the flood in a blink of an eye.

The Qilin Guard is Ran Ming's personal guard trilogy. For Ran Ming, they can use their flesh and blood to brave the rain of arrows and charge, even if they are outnumbered, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, they dare to break through.

Seeing Ran Ming's firm attitude, if they don't jump, Ran Ming will jump.So when the first Qilin guard warrior was washed away by the flood, the others jumped like dumplings.

The beast of the flood is not so easy to tame. More than [-] Qilin guard warriors who jumped off were washed away by the flood just like the first warrior.The flow of the flood was too fast and too fierce, and it was impossible for people to stand in the flood.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Ran Ming threw Lin Heishan away, but Ran Ming didn't even look at it. Lin Heishan, who was thrown into the mud by him, said to Qilin Wei: "It's definitely not going to work like this, go and cut some wood."

Everyone including Li Ye had never seen such a situation before, and the Qilin guards followed orders.They don't have saws or axes in their hands. They can slowly chop down trees with horizontal knives, but the speed is too slow.This gap may widen at any time.

Ran Ming's head was spinning quickly, and suddenly he focused on the horse. This horse is the descendant of Ran Min's Zhulong horse. It is a very rare BMW. Just because it has the blood of Zhu Long, it is enough to make it ten thousand gold Hard to find, and priceless.

Ran Ming gritted his teeth, and suddenly drew out the horizontal knife, and then the light of the knife flashed, and the BMW didn't even utter a scream, it just fell down on the river embankment.

Naturally, Ran Ming didn't have the strength to throw the horse into the gap, so Ran Ming rushed to Lin Heishan and said, "Heishan, quickly throw the horse's corpse into the gap."

Before Lin Heishan came to the corpse of the horse, he roared loudly. The [-]kg horse corpse was lifted up by Lin Heishan and thrown into the flood.

Although horses are heavier than people, unfortunately, the flood still did not give Ran Ming a chance.The same was rushed in, and this war horse died too unjustly.

Ran Ming suddenly saw the noose on the horse, and suddenly had an idea.

"Untie the horse rope. Tie it together, tie it around your waist, and go down the river together. I don't believe it, and he can't be cured!"

After speaking, Ran Ming went to untie the reins of the horses. The reins of these horses are all made of cowhide and fine silk, which are full of willfulness and strong enough.

Soon, the Qilin guards used the reins to weave three sets of ropes with a length of fifty feet. A Qilin guard with good water skills jumped into the flood. Strategies are feasible.

Without Ran Ming's order, the Qilin Guard continued down, and quickly used ropes and human bodies to form three water-retaining walls. Although the flow of the flood could not be completely blocked, the flow of water was greatly reduced.
