The heavy rain continued.
Thanks to Yun Zheng and his large team, with everyone's concerted efforts, a solid dam has been built around Guantian.
However, they did not stop.
At this time, almost everyone understood that flooding was inevitable.
The only difference is whether the flood is big or small.
But they don't have the time to care about so many things now. They can only try their best to do the things at hand and ensure that these official fields planted with precious seeds will not be flooded.
The heavy rain caused more and more water to accumulate under their feet. The surroundings were already muddy. Many people carrying sacks fell into the water, struggled to get up, and continued to move forward carrying the dirty sacks.
They seem tireless.
It seems that they will only feel safe if the flood control dams are reinforced again and again.
Water had already accumulated in the official fields, and Yun Zheng quickly arranged for personnel to drain the water from the official fields. At present, a small number of crops have already sprouted and cannot be soaked in water for too long.
...
...
Time passes by every second.
The water level around was getting deeper and deeper.
Fortunately, the terrain of their official field is relatively high, and the water level is still a long distance away from the top of their reinforced flood control dam.
"Your Highness, the people on the mountain have raised the flag!"
At this moment, Shen Kuan found Yun Zheng who was still moving sacks and reported anxiously.
Raised the flag?
Yun Zheng's face changed, he quickly dropped the sack, quickly climbed up the flood control dam, and looked into the distance.
The rain blocked his vision and he couldn't see very far.
But he could still vaguely see the rolling torrent rushing towards him from afar.
Damn you thief God!
Yun Zheng cursed in his heart.
Are you willing to let these precious seeds be washed away from the ground?
Under Yun Zheng's gaze, the flood was getting closer and closer.
Soon, Yun Zheng received another piece of news that their sacks were gone.
All the sacks that could hold the soil have been used.
It seems that all the places that need to be reinforced have been reinforced.
It seemed that they could do nothing but wait quietly for the flood to come.
"This flood is coming with great force, the flood control dam may not be able to withstand it! Order Qu Zhi to take his men to the back of the flood control dam to resist!"
Yun Zheng stared at the approaching floodwaters, and loudly ordered Shen Kuan: "Take your men with you as a reserve team! Support whoever can't hold on!"
Although they have tried their best to strengthen the flood control dam, they are still in a hurry.
No one can guarantee that the flood control dam can withstand the impact of floods.
Now, even a little more protection is good.
Shen Kuan did not dare to delay and quickly passed on Yun Zheng's order.
While everyone was on high alert, the flood from upstream finally swept in.
As the flood arrived, the water level outside the flood control dam rose rapidly.
There is also a small stream of water flowing out from the gaps in the flood control dam, but this little water can be discharged through the drainage ditch behind the flood control dam.
Although the water level outside continued to rise, the flood control dam seemed very stable and showed no signs of collapse.
But neither Yun Zheng nor anyone else dared to take it lightly.
Everyone knows that if the rain does not stop, the flood will become more and more severe.
The further they go, the greater the test on their flood control dam.
Gradually, the water level outside became higher and higher, almost reaching people's chests.
Looking at the rising water level, Yun Zheng became even more worried.
The terrain here is relatively high, and the water level has already reached this position. I don’t know what the low-lying areas have been flooded into.
There was not enough food to begin with, and now we have to use food to provide disaster relief.
This damn God really makes me feel like I can’t even breathe a sigh of relief!
I just don’t know if this rainstorm is only in Sifang County or has occurred in other places as well.
If the whole Fuzhou were hit by such heavy rain, it would be adding insult to injury.
"Your Highness, the rain seems to have subsided!"
Just when Yun Zheng was worried, Shen Kuan suddenly reminded him in his ear.
Is the rain getting lighter?
Yun Zheng came back to his senses and discovered that the rain seemed to have really subsided.
It was pouring rain before, but now it is only moderate to heavy rain.
"Now is not the time to be happy!"
Yun Zheng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Warn everyone not to relax! The peak of the flood has not yet arrived! Only after we survive the peak of the flood can we truly save this piece of government land!"
Shen Kuan nodded heavily and immediately gave the instructions.
Yun Zheng’s worries are not without reason.
Although the rain in the sky is getting smaller and smaller, the water level outside is still approaching the limit of the flood control dam.
"Someone come quickly! This place is going to collapse!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"Hold on, hold on!"
"Press it up. Even if you have to use people to fill it, you have to block the hole for me!"
Suddenly, a noisy sound rang in Yun Zheng's ears.
Yun Zheng suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where the noisy sound came from.
He saw chaos at the flood control dam a hundred feet away from him. Many people were rushing towards the opening, and some were pressing their bodies directly against the opening, trying to use their bodies to block the flood outside from pouring in through the opening.
Yun Zheng hurried over.
I saw the hole in front of me was getting bigger and bigger.
These sacks are filled with soil, which can easily turn into mud when soaked by floodwaters, completely losing their function of blocking floods.
"Quick, push up!"
Before Yun Zheng could open his mouth, chaotic noises came from the other side.
Soon after, chaotic sounds began to be heard from other places.
Gradually, the chaotic sound spread to the entire flood control dam.
It seemed as if this temporary flood dam would collapse in the next moment.
Looking at the precarious flood control dam and the official fields they had defended for so long, Yun Zheng's heart became heavy and he shouted with bloodshot eyes: "Everyone listen up, grab the stakes and build a human wall! Those at the back, hold back the ones in front!"
As he said that, Yun Zheng rushed to a wooden stake, hugged the stake, and shouted to the people around him, "Hold me back!"
"yes!"
Shen Kuan reacted and immediately rushed forward to hold Yun Zheng back, while another guard rushed forward to hold Shen Kuan back.
Seeing their actions, others reacted one after another.
One after another, they rushed to the flood control dam, one person supporting the first person, and gradually, a flood control dam composed of people took shape.
The flood continued to hit their bodies. Some people were knocked down, and the people behind them immediately took their place, using their flesh and blood to fight against the flood.
Cold, hunger, and fatigue continued to erode their bodies.
But everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering.
"The smoke of war rises, and the country looks northward..."
I don't know who started shouting first, but their military song quickly spread.
Soon, loud singing rang out along the entire front line.
No one cared about whether their singing voice was good or not, and no one cared about their current miserable appearance. Everyone just shouted at the top of their lungs.
It seemed as if their military songs could bring them boundless strength, giving them the power to fight the flood...
