has become a demon

Zhang Liangbao is twenty miles away from Ningxia Town, and a moment ago, everyone was gathering at the entrance of the village.

Di Bianping was ordering his horse and wielding his weapon.

It was not clear.

In Yuanma Temple, apart from the neighing of horses, there is only the sound of Di Bianping reporting the number.The men in the village put on cotton armor and paper armor and waited in line.

Many had freshly healed wounds after the last raid, and many had never returned, except for the teenage sons who came to collect weapons and horses in their father's clothes.

"Three one...three two..." Di Bianping handed over the ten arrows in his hand, looked up, and was furious, "What are you doing here!"

Yingzi was wearing her father's leather armor, which was a bit out of place, and the leather helmet on her head covered half of her face, which looked ridiculous.

"I'll go for Grandpa," she said.

"Do you, a teenage girl, know what this is going to do?" He was so angry that his white beard shook, "Hurry up and go home."

"I know. I'll go for my grandfather." Yingzi said.

"This is going to the battlefield, people are going to die, it's a man's business. You are a girl, live well, your father hopes that you will find a good family in the future, and you will be safe." A villager behind her advised her, "Yingzi go back."

"Is it only a man's business to kill a man on the battlefield?" Yingzi asked, "My mother was in the village, so she was killed by the man. I heard that the man broke through the northern pass of the town and came from the north, unobstructed Yes, can the woman survive this time?"

The man is speechless.

Di Bianping was furious: "Anyway, get the hell out of here!"

Just as he was talking, there was a loud noise, and he felt the ground shake in a moment.Everyone was terrified when they saw someone running back from the entrance of the village, shouting, "The Yellow River has burst its embankment! The Yellow River has burst its embankment! Water is coming to our village!"

"How did the Yellow River burst its embankment?" someone asked.

At this time, Yuanma Temple was already in chaos, and someone shouted: "There are old people and children at home!"

Everyone crowded from Yuanma Temple to the village.

"The eunuch of the supervising army just took Zhang Yiqian and took the gunpowder away." Di Bianping's face was extremely ugly, "Yingzi, go to the gate tower and send a message to your second uncle Zhang to pull the suspension bridge immediately! Close the gate! Everyone, don't mess up! The village There is a trench outside! It can be blocked for a while! Go home and save people first!"

Yingzi agreed, took off his leather jacket and ran to the city gate.

When she arrived at the city gate, the first wave of flood water in the distance had already reached the ditch outside the city gate. The waves did not appear to be big, the suspension bridge was raised, and the city gate was closed.

"Second uncle!" Yingzi shouted.

Zhang Laoer is leading people to pack sandbags and go to the gate of the city.

"Lao Di asked you to come?" He asked while carrying a sandbag.

"Yes! Master told you to pay attention, the Yellow River embankment has burst."

"What the fuck did the breach, that beast Zhang Yiqian exploded! Our people saw him stuffing explosives with people on the embankment." While speaking, the water had already filled the trench and seeped into the fort from the crack in the city gate. .

"Hurry back and tell your master to ask everyone not to take anything. Throw away everything that can be thrown away, and go to a high place if you can move! Go west, and that dwarf hill over there can live if you go up." !"

"But isn't there not much water?" Yingzi asked.

Zhang Laoer was in a hurry: "You are confused, the embankment is ten miles away, and the waves have not yet come over. Besides, the embankment is strong, and the hole will not be blown up once, and there will be another one! Do it again, and the entire Ningxia Qianwei will be completely finished!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sentry shouting from the city gate: "The waves are coming—!"

Zhang Laoer patted Yingzi on the shoulder, pushed her into the city, and shouted: "Go!"

Yingzi didn't dare to delay any longer, so he ran away.

Zhang Lao Er hoarsely said: "Brothers, you can withstand it! This wave is the biggest, and you can take a breath if you carry it over it!"

The sound of the huge waves behind me became louder and louder, and in the end I only felt it was deafening, not only the ears were painful, but the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, everything was trembling.

Yingzi staggered and fell to the ground.

Panting quickly, she got up and couldn't help but look back.

The horrific sight made it almost impossible to move my legs.

The city wall of Zhang Liangbao is a rammed earth wall, which is only one and a half feet high, but the waves in the distance are three feet high.The originally clear water of the Yellow River has now become muddy and muddy, like a monster with a mouth that has grown rapidly, gushing towards it.

It was roaring, rushed up the rammed earth wall violently, pulled into a line, turned over from the east wall, and swallowed the sentinel at the top of the city.

Zhang Laoer and several other people in the cave of the city gate, tied their waists with hemp ropes, firmly resisted the city gate.Huge waves hit our faces, and everyone disappeared in the mud in an instant.

It's not over.

The flood over the top of the city rushed into the street at a high speed, and ruthlessly knocked down the low thatched houses.These low dwellers could not stop its pace at all, it was still rushing over.

He rushed towards Yingzi.

At this critical moment, there was a rush of hoofbeats, and before Yingzi could react, someone grabbed her by the shoulders and dragged her onto the horse's back, quickly falling into someone's arms.

She looked up.

Xie Taichu rode a horse with Zhao Yuan and hugged her tightly.

"Brother!" she yelled.

"Brother is here."

Zhao Yuan responded with a tight lip and a serious expression.The big black horse stopped abruptly, raised its legs and neighed towards the flood, then turned around and headed west.

Flood clings to it, refusing to let go, trying to grab them every moment, but the big black horse drags two and a half people, a few minutes faster than Flood, and rushes towards the west like an arrow.

Not just big dark horses.

Along the way, more horse teams who rescued the villagers gathered and headed towards Shorty Hill.Under the threat of the flood, even the horses broke out at an unprecedented speed, and a team of hundreds of horses rushed up the dwarf hill.

Reining in his horse and looking back, the big wave hit Shorty Hill, and was forced to separate and rush towards the two sides.Rescued by Kan Yufeng, Di Bianping had already staggered over, hugging Yingzi with trembling hands, and knelt down to Zhao Yuan, "Thank you, Prince of the County! Thank you, Prince of the County!"

But the Di family was lucky. After the wave, the big wave receded where Zhang Liangbao was located, and the village was completely unrecognizable, and the lower half was mixed in the muddy water.The bodies of villagers who were unable to escape in time were mostly buried in the mud.

Among the hundreds of people on Shorty Hill, someone knelt down and cried in pain: "Mother——"

Then there was a chorus of wailing.

Crying for father and mother, calling for children and grandchildren.

The tragedies cannot be described one by one.

The mourning and weeping seemed to be a song of mourning, and it merged with the screams of the Yiling Rebellion, hitting Zhao Yuan's heart continuously.

Zhao Yuan came back to his senses: "Brother Feng! Count the number of people and report."

Kan Yufeng took the order, counted the number of people, and ordered back and forth: "The king, rescued 81 people, and our own brothers lost three people. Then one person was brought out from the villagers—"

As soon as he waved his hand, Tao Shaochuan dragged a person and threw him at Zhao Yuan's feet.

It turned out that it was Zhang Liangbao who made Zhang a thousand.

Zhang Yiqian was covered in mud and couldn't even open his eyes. He lay down on the ground and kowtowed: "Common people, spare your life."

"You didn't stay on the embankment, why are you here?" Zhao Yuan asked him.

Zhang Yiqian choked up and said: "Jin, Eunuch Jin is going to blow up the levee, and the general is afraid when he hears it. But the general has no choice but to follow him. But my wife, children and family members are all in Zhang Liangbao! I will let the following Some people put some gunpowder, and ran back before the fuse was lit!"

"Since we know that Jinwu is going to blow up the embankment, why didn't we stop it? Even if we can't stop it, why didn't we give an early warning when we returned to the village?" Zhao Yuan asked him.

"I, I... I will be the last..." Zhang Yiqian looked panic-stricken, "The embankment is about to explode, so it's important to escape! There are more than a dozen members of my family, and there are still gold and silver..."

Tao Shaochuan was young, and laughed angrily: "Your family's life is your life, but the lives of others are not? You are a selfish villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death! You are still a soldier."

"My father has three children in his seventies, three wives and concubines, and five children... the whole family is human, and the whole life is life." Zhang Yiqian cried out for grievances, and argued forcefully.

"Stay stubborn!" Tao Shaochuan kicked him to the ground.

Kan Yufeng bowed and clasped her fists, and asked Zhao Yuan, "Please deal with it, the county prince."

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhang Yiqian's intact family on Shorty Hill, and the box that fell and cracked hastily, revealing gold and silver inside.

He asked Kan Yufeng: "According to the Daduan military law, what should be done with such a life-stealing person who is greedy for life and fears death, and ignores the lives of the people?"

Kan Yufeng replied: "According to the "Daduan Military Law", such generals will not stick to the city, and those who retreat before the battle and escape will be killed."

"Zhang Yiqian, do you have something to say?" Zhao Yuan asked him.

Zhang Yiqian was stunned, and finally realized the determination of Zhao Yuan's calm words. A great fear struck him, and he kowtowed wildly, crying bitterly, shaking like chaff: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please, Your Majesty, please!"

This time, the mercy was a little more sincere.

But Tao Shaochuan dragged him a few steps forward to an open place, and while he was crying, he pulled out the miao knife from his waist, and slashed down, the head on his neck rolled to the ground.

Blood "beeped", but no one took a second look.

"Jinwu is on the embankment?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"The villagers said they watched him go with Liao Yixin." Kan Yufeng replied.

Zhao Yuan's walking was not yet completely natural, he walked a few steps, and someone held his arm by his side.He turned his head to look, Xie Taichu didn't know when, he had already walked to his side, beside him, so that he would not have difficulty walking.

The two reached the edge of Shorty Qiu, and the Yellow River in the distance could not be seen clearly in the dim mist.

The climate became colder.

The sporadic snowflakes in the sky grew bigger.

"Jin Wu has lost his mind and will never stop here." Zhao Yuan said to him, "We have to stop him before the second bombing of the embankment."

"it is good."

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Kan Yufeng, "Brother Feng, you pick a hundred elite riders, and follow me to the Yellow River embankment."

"Yes!"

Kan Yufeng turned around to send an order, and within a short while, Tao Shaochuan and the rest of the Hundred Horsemen were ready to go.

The big black horse was already pacing, he got on the horse and dragged Zhao Yuan into his arms to sit down.

Zhao Yuan stroked the mane of the big black horse: "It's a magic horse."

"Your Highness has practiced riding skills, and in the future you can ride by yourself." Xie Taichu said, "I think Dahei is also willing to carry His Highness to travel north and south."

He pulled the rein, and the big black horse neighed and swooped down from the dwarf hill.

A hundred cavalry elite soldiers also followed.

The mud under the dwarf mound is several feet deep, and it will sink if you step on it.

But no one is afraid.

The big black horse exerted force on its hind hooves, jumped up suddenly, drew an arc in the air, landed on the rock in the distance, and then did not stop, dexterous as if it had wings, jumped back and forth between the rocks, and then rushed into the Zhang Liangbao, who had turned into a quagmire, jumped and galloped on the roof, and rushed to the Yellow River embankment with a hundred horses behind him!
