Chapter 578
"General, General."
At this moment, on the other side of the Yangtze River embankment, Zuo Liangyu also brought people over. Their shoulders were carrying bags filled with mud and sand. There were still some flood-fighting supplies in Wuchang City, so they were much stronger than Ye Yun's side.
"Let's go in the middle together and try to get here as soon as possible."
The two of them could only hear it by shouting, although they didn't understand it very clearly, but now they only need to use a little body language to understand it. Zuo Liangyu quickly ordered his subordinates to throw sacks into the water.
"Brothers come with me."
Several carriages on the shore were already fixed. Ye Yun and his brothers walked to the carriage. The people on the shore could no longer push the carriage into the water. They could only pass the grain bag after bag and throw it into the gate in the middle.
Zuo Liangyu's progress was also good. They had already walked five or six meters in the middle, but the closer they got to the water, the more turbulent it became.
Several soldiers were washed away, but Ye Yun still brought his soldiers to meet him. He knew very well that this was a very difficult battle.
It doesn’t matter if there is any loss here, the most important thing is to block it here quickly. Now who has entered Wuchang City? If it can’t be blocked tonight, I don’t know how big the loss will be tomorrow.
"It's flooding, it's flooding..."
In a small village around Wuchang City, floods were already sweeping over. First, it flooded the cultivated land outside the village, and then many people rushed towards their village. As soon as they woke up from their sleep, the bed was already stepping on the knee-high water.
"Run to the higher place, run to the higher place quickly."
The village chief took the gong and said while playing, quickly leading the villagers to a higher place. The strong young people can still run out, but it is difficult for the elderly and children to say that, but they can't care about so much at this moment. One can run out and one counts.
"Go away, son put me down."
The old man looked at his son panting. He had also seen the greatness of the Yangtze River. If his son continued to carry him on his back, he would probably have to explain it here.
"I don't."
How can my son throw my son here? I just asked my wife to pull the child away quickly, and he carried his brain on his back. When he went out, he just lost his knees, but now he has reached his thighs.
Such situations are everywhere in several surrounding villages, and dead people have already appeared.
The situation in Wuchang City is not very good. Compared with the people outside the city, their situation is the most tragic.
People outside the city can at least run up the hillside, but basically all the city is flat. Although there are various buildings, there are many wooden buildings in this era, and when the flood rushes, they basically collapse.
Ye Yunhe Zuo Liangyu tried all his strength and finally blocked the hole after sacrificing more than fifty people.
But the other two holes were already thirty meters wide. They didn't have time to rest and immediately took people to run to the other two holes. Now the freezer is very fast. If you slow down for a while, these holes might be ten meters wide.
Fortunately, it was not the flood season at this time, and there was not so much water in the Yangtze River. If it was the flood season now, the entire Wuchang area would have been basically unsuccessful. Now it has only flooded 30% of the places, and there are not even dense areas with large populations. This is a great blessing among the misfortune.
boom…
When they had just arrived at the second entrance, an explosion occurred not far away. The third entrance was originally only more than 20 meters, but after the explosion, it has now become more than 40 meters. More than a dozen black shadows were seen on the Yangtze River embankment.
"I'll beat you guys to death."
Ye Yun took out the gun in his hand and shot at the black shadows. Many of his men also shot at the other side, but because of the distance and the reason for the night was too far, the effect was not very good. He only injured the two people on the other side, and all the rest ran away.
"We two separate, you take your people to the gap over there, and I take my people to block this one."
Now I don’t care about anyone’s high and small officials. If you can block the gap here as soon as possible, you can save more ordinary people.
Zuo Liangyu didn't say anything, and quickly took his people over, but when he left some tools, he left behind. He saw just now that these soldiers were simply holding food upwards. After this disaster, the food was the most expensive, and they couldn't be wasted here.
"General, we are ordered to chisel this ship."
At this moment, a navy fleet on the Yangtze River came over a ship filled with food. Just as they arrived here from Nanjing, they had received the order from the top of the peak, asking them to do their best to bring the ship across and then sink the ship.
"hurry up."
Ye Yun pushed the carriage in and said loudly that with this navy warship, it was much better than before.
Two big holes were smashed at the bottom of the navy warship, and the Yangtze River water rushed in frantically. The navy warship was about fifty meters long, so it blocked the place directly. This was also the largest ship of the Yangtze River Navy.
Many soldiers from the navy were also very distressed. There were more than a dozen cannons on it, but now they were all washed away.
With the help of this navy warship, the gap was half blocked. You only need to block some small gaps with food sacks. Basically, it was completed. After seeing this method useful, Ye Yun immediately ordered another navy warship to go to the next gap.
"The general is probably not good. This is our largest naval warship. That gap has exceeded seventy meters."
After these two gaps were blocked, the final gap suddenly accelerated, and the width was more than 70 meters. Even if the navy warship was driven over, it would probably not have much effect. Now they are really powerless to make the situation come true.
"I have to use it for a little bit. After driving three naval warships, I still don't believe it and can't block this gap."
