Chapter 686 (1/2)
When the general saw Gong Xiaoxuan's unusual amiability, he also laughed shyly. After that, he continued to command the new soldiers and the common people to continue to work enthusiastically.
On the other side, the general, who was looking at the water level, suddenly became frightened and ran towards Gong Xiaoxuan. However, because the mud on the road was too greasy, he fell into the mud pit and made the soldiers and the Hundred Surnames around laugh.
Seeing the untidy appearance of the deputy general, Gong Xiaoxuan was also amused with a smile. He went to help the general up and joked: ”Why are you in such a hurry? I don't know how to...”
Before Gong Xiaoxuan could say the word ”run”, he saw the mud on the general's face washed clean by the heavy rain, and the rest was full of panic and fear.
”Lord, go, everyone, go, the bank will soon collapse! The water is coming up
Just now, when the general was investigating the river, he found that the bank was shaking vaguely. So he tried to walk up and down, and found that the soil under the bank was loose, which had been washed out by years of floods. Not to mention that they had no way to reinforce the bank before the river overflowed the bank, even if they had reinforced it in advance, The broken dyke can't bear the next flood.
As soon as the general's words were finished, the people on the scene began to hear the sound of water sloshing, which was different from the sound of the torrential rain and the sound of the water crowding on the river. It seemed like the sound of a waterfall.
This conjecture startled Gong Xiaoxuan, but immediately he yelled, ”let's go, run in the direction of Jiangbei City!”
The sound is obviously that the upstream dike has burst. After the suddenly widened river channel disperses the river water, it suddenly pours into the narrow river channel, so the water flow increases sharply. When this wave of water flows down, the unreinforced bank will not be able to bear it.
The soldiers and the common people reacted very quickly. After hearing Gong Xiaoxuan's words, they immediately threw away their tools and started to run in the direction of Jiangbei City. After a while, more than half of the people had already run away.
”Wang Ye, please go quickly. I'm afraid the flood will come soon.”
The general who had been praised by Gong Xiaoxuan in the lower reaches, seeing that Gong Xiaoxuan was still standing in the same place urging people to speed up, hurriedly came to persuade him. But what worries Gong Xiaoxuan is that some people are still struggling to move forward in the sticky mud, and the speed is very slow.
