Daqin: Zulong Overheard My Rebellion Plan

Chapter 218 The Ice Flood Strikes And The Yellow River Bursts Its Embankment!

Youzhi in Chang'an Township just frowned.

But Meng Tian is going crazy!

He rode his horse and galloped all the way back to Shimenzhang.

Standing on the bank of the river, Meng Tian looked at the river in front of him, holding the reins tightly with both hands.

To the east of the section of the Yellow River that separates Shimenzhang and Jiuyuan City is a nearly dry riverbed.

But to the west of that section of the river, there is the raging water of the Yellow River!

A very different scene appeared in the same river section.

Because there is an ice crystal dam made of ice blocks that is thirty miles long in the middle of the river!

Whenever the water of the Yellow River on the west side of the river section overflows the ice dam, it is condensed into ice before it flows to the east.

Not only did it fail to let a little bit of the Yellow River water rush downstream, but it made the ice dam standing in the middle thicker, blocking more of the Yellow River water!

Today, the water of the Yellow River on the west side of the river reach is nearly level with the embankment.

And the height of the thirty-mile ice dam has faintly exceeded the river embankment!

Seeing this magical scene, Meng Tian said in shock: "What the hell is going on!"

"Why is there an ice dam here!"

Meng Chongde frowned and said: "The child doesn't know either."

"But the boy asked some barbarians who have lived in Jiuyuan City for a long time."

"According to them, every time rejuvenation is slow, there is a good chance of this happening. y

"The upstream and downstream of this stretch of the river are already warmer and the glaciers are melting."

"Only the temperature in the northernmost section of the river is still cold, which formed this ice dam standing in the middle of the Yellow River.

Meng Chongde said anxiously: "According to what they said, every time this kind of ice dam appears, it is likely to be accompanied by a Yellow River burst!"

Hearing this, all the generals were heartbroken.

The breaking of the embankment of the Yellow River is not a trivial matter, but a monstrous event!

Meng Tian asked solemnly: "According to the current rising trend, how long will it take for the river to overflow the embankment?"

Meng Chongde said seriously: "Ah Weng, according to the rise in the past ten days, it is estimated that in three days, the river will overflow the embankment.

After getting off his horse, Meng Chongde picked up a piece of soil on the embankment and sighed full of worry.

"Ah Weng, the Hu people don't know how to build dams at all."

"This section of the embankment is all made of compacted soil."

"It's still winter, but if the weather gets warmer in a few days, the loose soil will be easily soaked by the river water.

"At that time, the embankment will collapse overnight!"

"The great water in the Yellow River will go directly to Shimenzhang and Jiuyuan City`❗!"

Thinking that Jiuyuan City and Shimenzhang, which had just been taken back by Daqin, were hit by floods, everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

They can move the population, but what about the land?

More importantly, this is the jurisdiction under their jurisdiction.

If the Yellow River breaks its embankment, Meng Tian will definitely be held accountable!

Wang Tong couldn't help asking: "Is there no other way?"

Meng Chongde said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

"Dig an ice dam!"

"When Hu people encounter this kind of situation, they will cut open this ice dam and forcibly divert the water of the Yellow River downstream!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers were shocked.

In order to divert the water from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the lower reaches, it is necessary to cut a long and deep dent in this ice dam.

To complete this task within three days, at least tens of thousands of people are required to work at the same time.

But the ice layer is not stable and may completely collapse at any time.

If the ice dam collapses, at least half of these tens of thousands of celebrities will die!

But if you don't chisel...

Wang Tong said in a broken voice: "General, the last general advises to send 100,000 barbarian slaves to dig ice dams!"

Meng Tian said without hesitation: "No!"

All the generals bowed their hands.

"Instead of letting the two cities be flooded and hundreds of thousands of Qianshou affected, why not choose one hundred thousand barbarians to take a risk!"

"It's just a hundred thousand barbarians. If you die, you will die. The lives and acres of the Qin people are more important!"

"General, you can't be merciful at this time!"

Meng Tian said coldly: "It's not that the general is kind and unwilling to give up some lives.

"It's too selfish!"

"You only think about Jiuyuan City and Qianshou in Shimenzhang, but have you ever thought about Qianshou further downstream?"

"The entire upper reaches of the Yellow River are almost overflowing with water."

"When the ice dam collapses, the river water accumulated upstream will rush downstream in an instant!"

Meng Tian's eyes were full of firmness.

"The Yellow River may break out from any weak dam in Shangjun, Beidi County, Yingchuan County and other counties, submerging more Guizhou heads.

"In case of an accident, the water from the Yellow River may even flow into Neishi County!"

"Compared with these counties, the disaster in Jiuyuan County is the best ending!"

Meng Chongde and others couldn't help being silent when they heard the words.

Whose life is life.

But from a country's point of view, we have to make trade-offs.

The number of Qin people in Jiuyuan County is the least, even if the Yellow River breaks its embankment, it will not cause too much impact.

However, if the embankment breaks in Yingchuan County and other places, millions of people will be affected and countless fertile fields will be destroyed!

Meng Chongde let out a long sigh: "Ah Weng, my boy, let's evacuate Jiuyuan City and Guishou of Shimenzhang."

"Minimize losses as much as possible!"

Meng Tian nodded solemnly: "Go!"

"If the head of Guizhou is unwilling to leave, order the soldiers to forcibly pull him away!"

"Soldiers, set up camp at Niutougang!"

On the same day, ten messengers rushed to Xianyang City with the emergency information written by Meng Tian.

Meng Tian set up camp on a hill beside the Yellow River, observing the movement of the Yellow River day and night.

At noon on the third day.

A little water from the Yellow River has escaped from the upper reaches, and people have been evacuated from Shimenzhang and Jiuyuan City.

Wang Tong sighed softly: "God bless Jiuyuan!"

Meng Tian said calmly: "God bless Da Qin."

"Jiuyuan is just a newly attached land, and disasters will not hinder it.

Wang Tong and others looked at Meng Tian with complicated eyes.

Meng Tian's decision not to break the ice dam is not only a choice for hundreds of thousands of lives, but also a choice for himself.

No matter what the reason is, once there is a flood in Jiuyuan City, Meng Tian, ​​as the newly promoted Marquis of Jiuyuan, will definitely be held accountable!

But Meng Tian is willing to bear this responsibility, and also wants to give Daqin a relatively good result.

How can this not be admirable?

"Crack~"

"Kachacha~"

Suddenly, a slight crack sounded suddenly.

Meng Tian and the others looked at it suddenly, and saw that the ice dam had cracked a gap several miles long under the sunlight at noon!

Meng Tian cried out in surprise: "Not good!"

"The ice dam won't last!"

It is now the end of April, and the weather in Jiuyuan City has warmed up a lot. The temperature of the ice dam has hovered around zero degrees for several days.

This scorching sun became the last straw that crushed the ice dam.

Coupled with the continuous thrust of the upstream river, more and more fine cracks spread outward along the main crack in just two words.

Watching the ice dam collapse soon!

Meng Tian said anxiously: "Order the whole army to dig and fill the river!"

"Obey!"

With a shout, 50,000 Qin troops picked up and were about to rush towards the Yellow River.

But before they took a few steps, there was a deafening roar, followed by the sound of violent friction that made people's teeth sore.

"Boom~"

(Mano Zhao) "Crack~squeak~saw~"

Blocks of ice that were miles wide crumbled.

The ice cubes rubbed and pushed downstream under the action of the river water.

In less than a cup of tea, the Thirty Li Ice Dam completely collapsed.

The turbulent Yellow River rushes downstream with ice cubes in it!

"Damn it!"

Meng Tian slammed his fist hard on the tree trunk, roaring angrily.

"Damn it!"

"Quickly send an order downstream to deal with the disaster!"

The ice cubes and the Yellow River water were not fast at first, and were able to pass through the upper right corner of the Yellow River shape.

But after they entered a straight downriver, the speed began to gradually increase.

By the time they poured into the lower right corner of 'Ji', only one-fifth of the ice in the Thirty Mile Ice Dam had melted.

But this one-fifth of the ice blocks completely blocked the turning point of the Yellow River in Yinjin City like a convoy that had a car accident on the expressway!

Although the melting of these ice cubes is only a matter of time.

But in this short period of time, the upper reaches of the Yellow River are still rushing down.

Finally, burst out!.
