Chapter 225: You have to pretend to be back if you get out of control
Liu Xiang stood on the hillside and watched the condition of Longcao River from a distance.
The river in the upper reaches roars down the mouth of the pot, endlessly, without any pause. The potential energy caused by gravity is constantly impacting the river in front. Facing the mighty power of heaven and earth, the ice is as fragile as paper and cannot do anything.
Prevent the flow of water.
The river water is mixed with ice, surging in the ten-mile dragon trough, setting off waves more than ten meters high, cracking open obstacles like a giant axe, and the rising ice cubes become the vanguard of the road, smashing the ice and collapsing the mountain.
Wall, keep moving forward.
The narrow river channel of Longcao accelerated its flow speed, and the turbid current rushed forward, rushing out of the end of the field of vision.
This exceeded his expectation. In Liu Xiang's original imagination, the dam upstream of Hukou collapsed, and the ice silted up again along the river in the ten-mile dragon trough, forming a new dam, which just blocked the Xianbei people's rear.
road.
But in the current situation, the potential energy caused by the gravity of the upstream river is too huge, and the subsequent river water is still rushing down the mouth of the pot. The potential energy is endless, and the flood peak seems to be rushing towards the Xianbei people's camp.
He didn't know whether the flood could reach Shimen Canyon. Even if it couldn't, it would still form a new dam, which would not have much impact on the purpose of blocking Xianbei's retreat.
He didn't know whether Hong Feng could rush out of Longmen. It would be best if he could rush out and defeat the Xianbei people directly. There was no need to worry about floods where the Han army set up camp. The rear camps of the two cities had already left Longmen and could retreat at any time. The hillside
There is a lookout at a high place, which is enough warning.
Unlike the Xianbei camp, they set up camp in Shimen Canyon. They had to run ten miles to avoid the flood peak, and there was no time. Floods will occur during the freezing period in winter. This kind of thing is not only unexpected by He Lian, but also normal people would not think so.
Exploding ice dams is nothing new to modern people, but to the ancients, it was a fantasy.
The guards were so shocked by this incident that they looked dazed.
Not only was Zhao Jing holding on to Liu Xiang's sleeves, he was afraid that Liu Xiang would fly away with a "swoosh" and not take him to the sky. The other guards also had erratic eyes, using their human power to mobilize the power of nature and impact.
The force was too great and broke their cognition.
To the superstitious Han people, this is a miracle.
They all thought it was a great anecdote to make a soap and encounter thunder, but now it is even more mysterious.
The Lord wanted to destroy the ice dam that was more than two miles long and ten meters high, so he offered sacrifices to the Dragon God in the river, and then the ice dam collapsed. People's imagination cannot break away from the thinking patterns formed in daily news. They identified this
It is the Dragon God who is responding to the Lord's request.
The echo caused by the gunpowder explosion in the air and water convinced them that they heard the roar of the dragon. The turbulent river water was mixed with the shadows and visual residues formed by ice, making them feel that they must have seen the shadow of the dragon.
Controversy arose. Some people thought it was one dragon, while others thought they saw many. Zhao Jingxin swore that six came today because he clearly heard his lord say "six dragons riding the wind."
Su Wei expressed his own opinions. They were talking, arguing, and venting the shock in their hearts.
Although Zhao Yun did not speak, he felt his mouth was dry. In the past, he had heard those Yuan Cong tell stories about his lord being punished by heaven for refining alchemy. He felt that those people must be exaggerating, but what he saw today was so shocking. The lord is really
The lower realm of heaven and man? Thinking about the Lord's words and deeds, they are indeed different from ordinary people. And the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the Lord's behavior style is something he has never seen before and is different from anyone else.
He felt he had discovered the truth.
Shi'a's hands are shaking. He has been practicing swordsmanship for more than 20 years. What he is most proud of is his steady hand. However, more than 20 years of hard work can't suppress the shock in his heart. Why don't you learn from Zhao Jing, please, my lord?
Taking him to ascend with you? This idea is very tempting.
There was no transition from silence to a roar of chatter. Liu Xiang felt that these guards were a bit schizophrenic.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me." He spoke to stop the commotion of the crowd.
When Su Wei heard this, he immediately closed his mouth and looked at Liu Xiang with burning eyes. Some even showed a fanatical expression.
"The flood is rushing towards Shimen Canyon. We have to rush there as soon as possible to take a look." After Liu Xiang finished speaking, he turned to look at the guide: "Li Zhong..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guide Li Zhong knelt down on his knees with a loud thud, and his head fell to the ground.
What's going on?
"What do you mean?"
Li Zhong implored excitedly: "The general must be a god. Please bless me to have a son. I have already given birth to three girls. If I don't give birth to a boy, I will be extinct. Please have mercy on me."
Bar."
Liu Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Get up, I can't control the birth of children. I will reward you with more money after you go back. If you marry a concubine and work hard, you will have a son."
"Thank you so much, Master Immortal. Thank you so much, Master Immortal." Li Zhong thanked him profusely. The Immortal said that if he married a concubine, he would have a son, and their old Li family would have an heir. When he thought of this, the wrinkles on his face relaxed.
I am as happy as a chrysanthemum.
"Stop being silly, is there a shortcut from here to Shimen Canyon?"
"Yes, yes, the little old man knows the shortcut, so let's take the immortal master there." Li Zhong got up and started to open the way. He walked forward with a light and vigorous step.
Su Wei didn't talk nonsense and followed him. Even if Liu Xiang asked them to rush directly into the Xianbei army, they would not hesitate now.
Shimen Canyon is seventy miles away from Hukou Waterfall. The mountain road is difficult to travel. Even if they took a shortcut, it took them a day and a half to get there. There is no trace of human beings here at all. All traces of human activities have been washed away by the floods.
net.
The swollen Yellow River is still flowing, and the river water mixed with ice is rushing forward. There is no sign of freezing again. It seems that it has already rushed out of the dragon gate.
There are still more than ten miles from here to Longmen, and the canyon cannot be crossed. This is not a problem for Li Zhong. He still has the path to Longmen in his mind. Under his leadership, Liu Xiang and his party returned to Longmen the next day.
The two ice cities disappeared without a trace. The turbid waves of the Yellow River surged out of the mountain pass and flowed into the wide river downstream. The nearly twenty-mile wide river finally appeased the evil dragon, and it became comfortable and docile.
A thin layer of ice has condensed again.
If it weren't for the human and animal carcasses and wood debris still floating on the ice, no one would be able to see the traces of its ravages upstream.
The back camp of Dongcheng still stands behind the mountain wall, only two or three miles in size, and it is now vacant.
Liu Xiang observed the surroundings for a long time. This time he lost control and underestimated the power of nature. He was a little arrogant. This is not good. You have to pay attention to your mentality. You must not become arrogant and arrogant. Then you are not far away from being a complete calf.
Already.
But I can't let others know what happened today, I just keep this secret deep in my heart.
Su Wei climbed up to conduct reconnaissance and found the Han army camp in the southeast. They dragged their exhausted bodies and continued to approach there.
Before nightfall, Liu Xiang and his party finally rushed back to the camp.
Cao Cao ran over from a distance, grabbed his arm, and asked tremblingly: "Yicheng, what's going on? How did a flash flood break out? How could a flash flood break out when the water is frozen and dry in winter? Yicheng
, what did you do? Why did the flood rush out? The mountain-like icy flood peak swept through the Shimen Canyon and destroyed the Longmen Walled City. Why did this happen? I asked the local people that such a thing had never happened."
Boss Cao was greatly frightened. This matter had indeed gotten out of control. He did not warn him in advance. He only said that he would go upstream to destroy the dam, block the Shili Longtrough, and cut off Xianbei's return route.
But he couldn't admit that he made a mistake and affected his reputation.
"Are there any casualties in our army? What are the losses?"
"Our army retreated in time, there were no casualties, and most of the baggage was stored in the rear camp, so the losses were not big. What happened? General, please help Cao clear up his doubts." After taking a breath, Lao Cao calmed down.
The adjustment was very fast, as expected of Boss Cao.
Knowing that the Han army had not suffered any major losses, Liu Xiang felt relieved and felt that he could show off. He said calmly: "I met Huang Long by chance in the upper reaches. We had a pleasant conversation and helped me defeat the Xianbei Hulu. Brother Meng De, no need to
Be frightened, calm down, and everything is under control. It should be noted that in order to be a general, you must first control your mind. If Mount Tai collapses in front but the color remains unchanged, and the elk rises on the left but does not blink, then you can conquer the enemy."
