Chapter 456: Dam burst! Flooding Qianyuan County!
Under the city of Qianyuan County, the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army surged like a tide. On the city wall, although the defenders were brave, they could not resist this overwhelming force.
Arrows rained down, stone cannons roared, and every loud noise seemed to tell of the brutality of the attackers.
The people in the city either hid under the houses or took refuge in the corners of the city, their expressions of fear evident in their words, as they prayed to God for a glimmer of hope.
On the other side, the Yellow Turban Army rushed to Feihong Peak, raising dust as they marched, and the sound of horse hooves and war drums intertwined into a majestic war song.
Everyone firmly believes that after this battle, the world will have a new look.
Along the way, the mountains are undulating and shrouded in clouds and mist. The top of Feihong Peak seems to be the end of the sky.
There, the dragon flag of Emperor Daqian fluttered in the wind.
At this moment, the secret order of the Xuan Jing Division of the Daqian Dynasty, like the wind from the underworld, quietly spread to several heavily guarded dams of the vast Lancang River.
At this moment, on the banks of the vast Lancang River, in the Daqian army, the generals had solemn expressions on their faces, with heavy looks flashing in their eyes.
They knew very well that this move not only determined the outcome of the battle, but also the safety of thousands of lives.
However, the emperor's orders were difficult to disobey and the fate of the country depended on it, so they could only grit their teeth and turn their reluctance into decisive action.
Following the deep commands, the soldiers worked like machines, carrying boulders, swinging shovels, and pulling ropes, making the final preparations before the dam burst in a tense and orderly manner.
There was an extremely depressing atmosphere in the air, as if even time had stopped at this moment.
Finally, everything is ready, waiting for the final moment.
The generals looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
"For Da Qian!"
Then, they all raised their weapons at the same time.
The sound was like thunder, shaking the earth and heaven, as if it could sweep away the haze between heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by several deafening roars, as if it was the thunder at the beginning of the world, the vast Lancang River, a flood beast that had been sleeping for a thousand years, finally bared its ferocious fangs and roared angrily at Qianyuan County.
As several dull and profound horns sounded, like the most ancient spell in the world, the sleeping beast was awakened.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, time also stopped, and everything was waiting for that earth-shaking moment.
Countless huge waves burst out from several breaches, like wild horses running wildly, with destructive power, ravaging everything along the coast.
At that moment, the river water was like an angry dragon emerging from the sea. Huge waves rose into the sky, rushing towards Qianyuan County with the power to destroy everything.
The river was raging like an angry god, wantonly wielding its rage and power.
Countless huge waves, one after another, seemed like the most spectacular picture in the world, but also brought endless death and destruction.
The river water was mixed with mud, stones, and even collapsed trees and houses, forming an unstoppable torrent that was invincible and swallowed up all living things and buildings along the way.
The river water surged like a mad dragon, and with the power to destroy the world, it launched a fierce attack on the Yellow Turban army.
The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops seemed so insignificant under the ravages of this devastating flood.
Countless Yellow Turban flags fluttered in the strong wind, as if it was the last struggle before doomsday, but ultimately they could not stop the huge waves from swallowing them.
In the flood, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army panicked and fled in all directions.
Countless soldiers were swallowed up by the raging flood. Their figures were looming in the flood, and finally turned into pieces of foam and disappeared in the endless torrent.
The Yellow Turban generals in the battle array watched helplessly as their soldiers were swallowed by the flood, but they were powerless to do anything. Despair and helplessness surged in their hearts, and their eyes were filled with endless grief and unwillingness.
And in this despair, some careful people also discovered something unusual.
They discovered that before the flood broke the dam, the troops of Meng Zhang and Ouyang Jing, who had slowed down their march early on, had actually disappeared behind the Yellow Turban army.
It avoided the direct impact of the flood from afar, as if it had known in advance that the disaster was coming.
This discovery made the Yellow Turban Army's generals even more desperate.
However, no matter how they struggled and fought, the flood still raged mercilessly.
Like a ferocious beast, it devoured all living things and buildings.
The battle flags of the Yellow Turban Army were crumbling in the flood, and eventually turned into pieces and disappeared in the endless torrent.
Since its establishment, the Yellow Turban Army, which had been fighting against the Daqian Army with hundreds of thousands of troops, has been continuously defeated.
It instantly turned into nothingness in this man-made disaster!
Qianyuan County City, this once prosperous and strong city, now seems so fragile under the ravages of the flood.
The city walls were crumbling under the impact of the huge waves. The people in the city were panicked and fled everywhere, trying to find a glimmer of hope for survival.
However, facing this devastating flood, human power seems so insignificant, as if we are an ant in front of nature, helpless and desperate.
At this moment, Qianyuan County was in chaos and panic.
In the flood, the light and darkness of human nature are fully revealed at this moment.
In order to survive, some people abandoned their companions and escaped alone; some people stood up at this critical moment of life and death, using their own flesh and blood to build a line of defense for others.
However, both greed and bravery seem so insignificant in the face of this raging flood, as if it were a ruthless judgment of nature on mankind.
However, at this critical moment, behind the Yellow Turban Army, there was a scene of order.
The Yellow Turban army had already retreated to a safe area, and Ouyang Jing, Taoist Xuantong and their troops in some higher terrain areas of Qianyuan County were looking at the bursting dam in the distance with heavy faces, with complicated thoughts surging in their hearts.
"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs."
Taoist Xuantong sighed softly, his eyes penetrating the chaos of the world and looking directly at the battlefield ravaged by the flood.
This battle is beyond the control of human power, and the overall trend cannot be reversed by one person alone.
However, even so, he was unwilling to give up easily.
After all, there are countless innocent lives on this battlefield, waiting for their salvation.
"Pass the order down and have the soldiers of Xuantian Guard do their best to rescue the trapped people."
Taoist Xuantong spoke in a heavy tone to the guardian Zhong Heqing beside him.
Although he knew that this was like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, as a Taoist, he still had a bottom line.
Whatever we can save is better.
Upon hearing this, Chong Heqing nodded in agreement, then turned around and passed on the order.
The soldiers of Xuantianwei also acted quickly and did their best to rescue the trapped people.
Although they know that this is just a drop in the bucket, at this critical moment of life and death, they are willing to use their meager strength to protect those innocent lives.
