Chapter 266 Thunder in the Sky

Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder all night, and it rained heavily.

The ravines of the sycamore trees are overgrown, and the streams are suddenly muddy. In such bad weather, the Golden Man, mainly cavalry, will certainly not initiate or avoid large-scale battles. After days of fierce fighting, the Rebel Alliance also suffered huge casualties and soldiers and horses were exhausted.

Therefore, the two sides coincidental truce.

The sky was gloomy, which made the military tent a little dark. Chu Tianya asked people to light candles and read some war reports. At noon, Xiao Linglong asked the cook to make a meal and take it to the handsome tent to have dinner with Chu Tianya.

My mind is heavy and all kinds of troubles. In the past few days, Chu Tianya has had no appetite, which has caused people to lose weight. Xiao Linglong was worried in her eyes. Today, she finally got a fresh fish and stewed some of Chu Tianya's favorite fish soup, so she gave it to him in person. At least let him eat and drink.

"All of you should avoid it. The master is going to eat." After Xiao Linglong came in, Liuhe and others who accompanied Chu Tianya to participate in the military aircraft were invited out.

"What are you doing?" Chu Tianya looked at her and smiled, "It's just a meal. Do you need to fight so much?"

"Do you know that you haven't had a good meal for four or five days?" Xiao Linglong stared at him with a little an angry look and took the food box to Chu Tianya in person. "I don't care. Anyway, you will accompany me to eat this meal today. If you don't finish eating, I will burn your military newspaper!"

"Good, good." Chu Tianya smiled and said happily, "The princess has a life. How dare I not obey? ...Well, the smell of fish soup!"

Xiao Linglong smiled gracefully and took out the fresh fish soup. She seldom does this kind of coquettishness and waywardness of her little daughter in front of Chu Tianya. Occasionally, the last time she used it was a unique trick.

"Well, I feel hungry." Chu Tianya squeaked his lips very well, "Come on, let's eat together!"

Xiao Linglong filled him with a bowl of rice and a large bowl of fish soup, and put half-tailed fresh fish into his bowl. "Eat it!"

"Good." Chu Tianya smiled and nodded, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the fish. Seeing that the tail of the fish was red, he casually said, "The carp? It's quite fresh! - Before the battle between the two armies, it's difficult to catch fresh fish!"

"Well, I specially sent a few brothers who are familiar with water quality to fish by the Yellow River." Xiao Linglong added, "Yellow River carp is a famous dish in Tokyo. It tastes good."

Yellow River carp, together with Songjiang perch, Xingkai Lake fish and Songhua River salmon are known as the four famous fish in China. There are rumors that "If you don't eat fish, you will be the carp of the river" and "Luo carp is as expensive as cattle and sheep". Even in the rich and beautiful Tokyo, the Yellow River carp is also a good ingredient.

"The princess has a heart. It's rare to eat good fish soup when it's like this. Chu Tianya smiled gratefully, "Let's eat together!" Where can I eat and play with such a big fish?

"Okay, I'll stay with you." Xiao Linglong sat down with a smile, and she also filled a bowl of fish soup. She casually said, "The rainstorm is falling, and the Yellow River is rising and flowing rapidly, so it is inconvenient to fish. After eating this meal, it's hard to eat it again. So, you should eat more."

Chu Tianya's heart seemed to have suddenly flashed a flash of light, and the chopsticks were clamped to his mouth and stopped. "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Linglong was stunned and said blankly, "Yes, with such a heavy rain during the flood season, can the Yellow River not rise? How to catch fish in a section of the Yellow River?

"Bah!"

Chu Tianya slapped his chopsticks on the desk and got up.

"Six in!!"

"There!"

Liuhe flashed in and looked at Chu Tianya in surprise, "What's your order?"

"Aung Anu to lead a team of people in plain clothes, and accompany me out of the camp!"

"Where does the lord want to go?"

"Go to the Yellow River!"

Xiao Linglong is such a smart person. As soon as her eyes lit up, she knew what Chu Tianya was going to do. She hurriedly got up and stopped Chu Tianya and begged, "I'm not in a hurry at this moment. I'll go with you after eating this fish, okay?"

Chu Tianya was already excited to appear by the Yellow River immediately. Hearing Xiao Linglong's words, there was bursts of warmth in his heart.

"Okay! - Eat first, then go!"

After their youth, Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong took a team of tiger guards, wore bamboo hats and clothes, and left the Wutongyuan military camp to look at the Yellow River.

Most of the nearby villages are fishing villages, because the war has long been empty, leaving only empty villages, small fishing boats soaked in rain and broken fishing nets.

"It would be best to find a few fishermen from nearby villages." Chu Tianya said, "Liuhe, take people to search around to see if there are any villagers hiding. Remember, don't hurt them and scare them."

"Yes, Lord!"

After about half an hour, Liuhe and others tried their best to dig almost three feet of land. They finally found two old men in their seventies and said that they were old fishermen in the nearby village. Because they were too old to walk, they were reluctant to give up their family business, so they did not escape and hid in their own cellar.

Chu Tianya explained his identity and comforted them with kind words. He finally made the two old men frightened and willing to communicate with him.

"Old man, since you are fishing in this area for a living, you must be quite familiar with the hydrological of the Yellow River in this area." Chu Tianya asked, "Can you tell me when the Yellow River flood season will be?"

"Five days later, it will be the first flood season of this year." One of the skinny old men said with incomparable certainty, "I have been fishing by the Yellow River for 60 years. No one is more familiar than me!"

"Nonsense!" Another old man with dysentery said angrily, "You know that after bragging, you still don't repent after bragging for sixty or seventy years - the prince, don't listen to his nonsense. I've been holding the ship on the Yellow River for 60 years, and I'm more familiar with it than myself - six days later, it's the flood season!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"You fart!"

"...Old man, do you still curse? I'll do it to your mother!"

"I, I'll do it to your grandma!"

......

The two old men are almost 150 years old, and they actually scold their mother in front of Chu Tianya and others like urchins.

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing and was in full bloom.

Five days or six days, in fact, it's almost the same.

The two old men quarreled fiercely. Chu Tianya asked Liuhe to persuade them to go, sent some rice and grain, and then his party went to the Yellow River.

In the rainstorm, the Yellow River is muddy, and the rushing roar is very rapid.

Throughout the ages, the flooding of the Yellow River has been the most important natural disaster in all dynasties. No dynasty has made great efforts to control the flood of the Yellow River. People displaced by the Yellow River flood are common in any era.

Because it is a section of the Yellow River embankment near the imperial capital, the imperial court has invested a lot of human and material resources to prevent floods and build embankments over the years. This section of the dam is very stable and strong.

Looking at the anger of the Yellow River galloping eastward, Chu Tianya frowned and his eyes were cold, and he fell into a long silence and thinking. Everyone didn't know what Chu Tianya was thinking, so they quietly watched with him and got wet in the rain. Only Xiao Linglong's heart suddenly broke out. After a long time, she couldn't help whispering, "Tianya, you have to think twice... The Yellow River is not idle. If you can't control it well, it's hundreds of miles, and it's all adult purgatory!"

Chu Tianya trembled gently all over his body and looked sideways at Xiao Linglong.

"Please think twice." Xiao Linglong said softly and didn't say much.

Chu Tianya turned his face without any doubt and still looked at the surging Yellow River.

This is the mother river of China.

"A good mother will not only spoil her own children, but also severely criticize and correct him when he makes mistakes." Chu Tianya whispered to himself, "When he saw his child being bullied by bad people. Well, no matter who the bad guy is, she will fight with him desperately and defend her child to the death!"

Others were a little confused when they heard it. Xiao Linglong trembled gently all over, "Tianya, you..."

"If we had a child, would you do this?" Chu Tianya turned his head and asked.

Xiao Linglong took a deep breath and nodded, "I'd rather die by myself than let my child be hurt at all!"

"What if he falls into the water?" Chu Tianya said lightly, "You can't swim."

"Then I will jump down too!!"

Chu Tianya took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "This may be the decision I want to make."

"You! ..." Xiao Linglong's face was a little white. Looking at the large number of people left and right, she couldn't help saying it.

"Go back!"

Resolutely turned his horse, and Chu Tianya rode the dust and ran first. Xiao Linglong and others hurried to catch up.

After returning to the camp, Chu Tianya first found a few people who were familiar with the city of Tokyo and inquired about the terrain of the area. Then he sent a fine scout to find out in detail the distribution of Wanyan Zongwang's barracks.

In such a rainy and rainy weather, people don't know what Chu Tianya is busy with a little nervousness and mystery. They just vaguely felt that Chu Tianya was brewing a major plan.

The second rain, the wind and rain are more urgent, lightning and thunder, and a piece of muddy horses in the barracks are tied into the circle and dare not release. Chu Tianya came to the Yellow River again and saw that the water was more rapid than yesterday.

This time, he examined a nearby dike six or seven miles long in detail. After returning to the camp, he secretly ordered Anu to supervise the work in person, and let the craftsmen in the barracks rush to work and supervise the shipbuilding.

In the evening, Tang Ang rushed to Wutongyuan. In addition to more than a thousand tigers, there are also thirteen Shenwu cannons that have just been cast.

As early as the time of the evacuation of Taiyuan, a large number of new explosives and several Shenwu cannons had been produced in the gunpowder production bureau of Qixingzhai in Yelu Yanchen. The power of explosives has been tried in Xiaocangshan for a long time, which made Wanyan Zonghan, who followed, suffer a big loss and feel dizzy.

The power of the cannon has not been verified, and it has only been tested many times in the countryside on the banks of the Luoshui River. In view of the critical situation of the war, Chu Tianya has been urging many times, Yelu Yanchen has been very cautious to say, "the Shenwu cannon is not perfect yet."

But now it is about to be destroyed. How can Chu Tianya still take care of a lot? Therefore, the thirteen-sided semi-finished Shenwu cannon was moved by Chu Tianya, and even Luoyang did not leave a side.

In such weather, the escort cannons day and night, the iron Tang Ang is almost out of shape, not to mention those soldiers and people. Chu Tianya comforted them and came to inspect the cannon in person.

"Lord, the old man Yelu repeatedly told that these cannons are too powerful, far more than ten times more powerful than the Thunderbolt cannons in Tokyo. However, it may also explode. In that case..." Tang Ang whispered in Chu Tianya's ear.

"In that case, I'll test it myself." Chu Tianya said lightly.

Suddenly, a circle of gunners fell down, "Lord, by all!!"

"We are willing to go through fire and water for the lord - please test the gun!"

"Brothers, please get up quickly!" Chu Tianya hurried forward to help each other one by one. These people are all gunpowder craftsmen or apprentices who follow Yelu Yanchen, and they are also gunners who operate cannons. Thirteen cannons, more than 50 gunners, each of them, is ready to welcome such a thing as "explosive" at any time.

"If the lord doesn't agree, I won't get up!" The gunners insisted, "Lord, don't test the gun in person!"

"Okay, I promise you." Chu Tianya sighed and said, "Tang Ang, I order you to treat these brothers well. Prepare a pension for each of them in advance and double the pension. They... are gambling with their lives. Whether they win or not, they are heroes in our army!"

"Yes, my lord."

"The matter of the Shenwu cannon must be strictly confidential." Chu Tianya said, "Before the giant cannon officially appeared on the battlefield, no one can wait to visit except me and you. Those who violate the order can be cut first and then play!"

"Yes, Lord!"

It has been raining heavily for three days, and the rain is getting more and more intense. From Chang'an to Luoyang, and then to Tokyo, hundreds of miles are almost shrouded in a rain cloud, and it rains day and night.

The water of the Yellow River is suddenly surging and overflowing.

Late at night on the fourth day, Chu Tianya and A Nu, with a group of confidants, about a thousand people, secretly went out of the camp to the embankment of the Yellow River.

"Lord, do you really want to blow up this dam?" Anu, a fierce man who has always been fearless, was a little worried. "The Yellow River bursts the embankment, which is divine anger from the sky. At that time, there will be flooding within a hundred miles. I don't know how many people will die in the flood. I'm afraid even Tokyo will not be spared. Lord, please think twice!"

"I have already found out that as early as the founding of the Song Dynasty, I had already considered the flooding of the Yellow River." Chu Tianya said, "The site selection and construction of Tokyo are fully prepared for flood control. First of all, it is far away from the Yellow River and the terrain is high, and there are many ditches around it that can guide the flood deflected. Moreover, because of the war between the two countries, most of the nearby villages, towns and counties are empty cities, and our army is stationed in the Wutongyuan Heights, which will not be affected much. On the contrary, Wanyan Zongwang's army is located in a low-lying, and the torrential rains in the past few days have made them miserable. Many camps have been forced to move, but they can't find a highland like Wutongyuan to camp their more than 300,000 troops. As long as the Yellow River bursts, the first to be swallowed up must be the Jurchens!"

"However, it is still inevitable that there are many civilians..."

Chu Tianya waved his hand vigorously, "It's a war, and people are going to die! - How many of our brothers who died in the war these days will die than the next flood of the Yellow River? If we continue to fight like this, we are likely to destroy the whole army, the fall of Tokyo, and even the destruction of the country! At that time, more people will die and more miserable! - A man stands in the world and acts informally, but he has a clear conscience!"

A few words made Anu speechless, and his heart was chilly. He looked at Chu Tianya with one eye. For the first time, he felt that the young man in front of him had changed a different person when he first saw him in Taiyuan.

Maybe it's really in his position; people will always change.

Anu couldn't help thinking in his heart, "No matter right or wrong, take on the responsibility of life affairs, right and wrong for future generations to comment on... It's really a world-class hero!"

"Let the brothers prepare!" Chu Tianya took a deep breath and frowned and made a decision, "Tomorrow night, blow up the embankment!"

"Yes..."

One day and one night is as long and difficult as a lifetime.

When making this decision, Chu Tianya couldn't relax. Therefore, his face was always ugly, and even Xiao Linglong didn't get a good word from him.

Blowing up the dam makes the Yellow River flood and devour creatures. It's a bit of a bad idea. This is the opposite! Human beings will be punished by God!

However, the war is so cruel that either you die or I die. If you have to choose between "the whole army destroys the country and destroys the family" and "drows 300,000 female people", even if Chu Tianya knows that he will be struck by thunder the next second, he can only make a decision!

Wanyan Zongwang is not stupid, and there are many people who are familiar with the geography and hydrography. The continuous rainstorm, coupled with the flood season of the Yellow River, has already aroused the vigilance of Wanyan Zongwang. While ordering to withdraw the barracks stationed in low-lying areas and moving them to a higher place, he sent many cavalry to patrol the Yellow River.

Anu hid in a small fishing village with people and was almost found several times.

After Chu Tianya learned the news, he decisively decided to launch a surprise battle, and could not let the Jurchens focus their attention on the Yellow River.

So, Yang Zaixing, a fierce general under Cao Cheng's command, set out with 5,000 people. With the posture of a moth to the fire, a "late night robbery" of the female real barracks was launched.

The battle was very fierce. Almost one-tenth of the 5,000 people brought out by Yang Zaixing came back. The angry Jurchens fought back and killed before Wutongyuan.

The Shenwu cannon appeared on the stage, the world was shocked, and the woman's hearts were frightened and retreated like a tide.

Yang Zaixing, a god-like man, killed a few people alone in the barracks of the female real woman with a horse and a gun, and no one can stop him at all.

When he threw more than a dozen centurion, thousands of captains and several flags into the handsome tent, everyone was speechless and the scene was dead.

Chu Tianya's heart was also shocked. In the past, he had only seen the kind of character "taking the head of the general in the million army" in written novels, movies and television. For a long time, Chu Tianya only regarded it as an exaggeration of some myth or a legend that people imagine.

Today, I finally saw it with my own eyes.

Yang Zaixing is worthy of the name of "Wuqu" and God of War.

Seeing that Yang Zaixing came back with blood and injuries all over his body, coupled with the loss of more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cheng's face was very pale.

"Your Royal Highness, you have had a huge cannon to kill the enemy, but why do you let my brother die?" He pulled Yang Zaixing, shook his robe and snorted, and went away.

Yang Zaixing didn't say a word, but he looked at Chu Tianya with extreme indifference.

Liuhe and others were so angry that they almost caught up with Cao Cheng on the spot.

Chu Tianya stopped them. Tell them that if my more than 4,000 brothers and your love will encounter such a thing, I will do the same.

This raid and robbery camp, which he knew that he would be defeated and went to, coupled with Yang Zaixing's divine martial arts and the magnificent power of the giant cannon, could be regarded as making the Jurch shocked and angry, and nervous again. Since the Confederate Army dared to rob the camp beyond its ability, the battle could happen at any time. Wanyan Zongwang had to temporarily stop the camp movement and search, and ordered the whole army to be on alert and ready to fight at any time.

Four thousand heroic souls have been exchanged for the temporary safety of Anu, a group of human executioners.

When night falls, there are still more than two hours left. Immediately, the anger of the Yellow River will come to the head of the 300,000 female invaders.

Chu Tianya poured a whole can of Jiannan Shaochun, and his eyes turned red and threw the horse whip to the ground fiercely.

"I also recognize the thunderbolt! - Call Anu, do it!!"
