Chapter 194: Landslide? Brother can’t go back
"Young lady! There's a landslide!" A scout ran forward, shouting, and without even taking a breath, he explained the current situation in one breath.
Someone in the mine was moving huge rocks for rescue, causing the entire mountain to collapse. The blocking measures built by the Houtu Banner could only hold out for less than a cup of tea. A large amount of mud and sand, accompanied by broken stones and wood, was heading towards the Shouchun city wall!
If the only exit is blocked by such a large amount of mud and sand, Shouchun will be in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food before other exits are built. Countless wounded people will not be able to get medicine, and the elderly, weak, women and children will die of hunger and cold!
The worst-case scenario would be a mudslide that destroyed the city walls, burying all of them who had taken refuge from the storm. We couldn't let the mudslide destroy the city walls and destroy all of Shouchun!
He Zhaojun suppressed her sadness and commanded the soldiers of the Giant Wood Flag who had retreated to the side to use all the available materials to quickly build a passage to divert the mud and sand away from the city wall.
"Hurry, retreat quickly!" He Zhaojun stood on the city wall and looked down. Within ten breaths, a large amount of sand and gravel was about to arrive. Li Fu dropped the last huge tree and flew onto the city wall.
“Boom!”
He Zhaojun felt dust blowing in her face, rubble and dirt raining down on her. All the soldiers who had climbed the city walls raised their shields, forming the last line of defense. If the merciless rocks were taller than the walls, they would be buried here first!
"Oh no! There's a huge rock blocking the path!" He Zhaojun was about to jump down. "I'll go move the rock!"
Li Fu, however, held her arm tightly, refusing to let go no matter how she struggled. "Going down now is courting death! The moment you move the rocks, a three-person-high torrent of sand and gravel will pour down. Anyone who goes down there will be dead!"
He Zhaojun didn't care about many things. Behind her were the people of Shouchun. They were the people that her brother would rather break his legs to save. They were the flesh and blood bodies that were preserved by so many men who searched and rescued them day and night.
But just as she reached the edge of the city wall, a strong force grabbed her arm and threw her back onto the wall. When she saw who was coming, He Zhaojun burst into tears and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Second brother! Come back!"
Seeing that the person was thrown back to his side, Li Fu hugged her waist tightly and refused to let go no matter how He Zhaojun kicked and hit him.
He Chuan had a leg injury. His left calf was empty at this moment, and blood was flowing all the way. The bloody footprints extended from the tent under the city to the top of the city wall. He turned around and shouted to Li Fu: "Take good care of Zhaojun!"
After saying this, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he jumped off the city wall.
All the He family members were like crazy, reaching out to grab He Chuan: "Major General! Major General!"
He Chuan was dragging his broken limbs and crawling on his knees under the mud and sand. He moved the huge rock with all his strength, and his exposed leg bones rubbed against the ground, making a bloody mess.
"Zhaojun! What is it that your sister-in-law wants to tell me before she leaves?"
He Chuan raised his face, smiled, and looked at He Zhaojun on the city wall. At this time, He Zhaojun had already burst into tears. She stretched out her hand to He Chuan in vain, as if she could catch his fleeting life.
"No... Brother, you have to stay alive! Return to the capital alive and listen to what I will tell you in person!" He Zhaojun was about to throw down the rope and signaled him to wrap it around his body quickly.
He Chuan smiled: "Brother, you can't go back..."
Before he finished speaking, the veins on his forehead and neck bulged and he shouted loudly.
"open!"
