Chapter 1289 Nightmare
On the cliff of Helongshan, from the early morning, Lin Jue and others witnessed the scene of the doomsday flood in a daze. Everyone was shocked and speechless and could not speak for a long time.
Lin Jue and others found something was wrong in the middle of the night. Responsible? I hope that the personal guards who observed the battlefield in Xingzhongfu came to report the important news at the third update. Because they found that the Jurchen cavalry who were building siege equipment overnight at Xingzhongfu City suddenly began to pull out the camp and quickly came towards Helongshan.
When Lin Jue went up to the top of the cliff to observe, the Jurchen soldiers and horses had already set off. I was galloping towards Helongshan under the moonlight. Everyone was surprised. Some even thought that their whereabouts were exposed, and the Jurchens were coming to encircle and suppress their people.
But Lin Jue knew that it must be because of this. Even if the Jurchens knew their existence, they would not mobilize all their troops to the mountains to encircle and suppress themselves. There was no grudge between them and the Jurchens, so they could not do so. Moreover, just as the Jurchens were making equipment to capture Xingzhong Prefecture, how could they come to encircle and suppress them for the sake of their more than a hundred people because of their small losses. Something must have happened in this.
Not long after, when the army in Xingzhong Prefecture began to leave the city and evacuate to Daqingshan north of Xingzhong Prefecture, and there was a roar in the city, and a large number of people seemed to have begun to evacuate, Lin Jue was even more sure that something unusual had happened. The Jurchens and the Liao people seemed to be escaping from some disaster. What happened? Lin Jue didn't know, but he just felt uneasy in his heart.
At dawn, when a faint sound like a dragon roar and a tiger rolling sound like a wind and thunder came, Lin Jue once regarded the shaking of the ground as a major earthquake. However, when the high water wall in the north was shining with a white water line that lasted more than ten miles long, Lin Jue and others were stunned like clay sculptures and wood sculptures.
Lin Jue has seen the tide of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou on August 18th. The scene is indeed like a galloping army, which is shocking and impressive. However, compared with the scene in front of him, the tide of Qiantang is also overshadowed. From the angle of the cliff top, you can just look down at the entire flood. You can see the high huge waves rushing towards you like a venomous snake's head, followed by the scene of rolling torrents all over the mountains, trees uprooted and houses collapsed. The tide of Qiantang River gives people the feeling that it is more spectacular and majestic, while the scene in front of you brings people the fear in the bones of the end of the world.
"It turns out... the Jurchens went into the mountains to avoid disaster. They must have known the news that the flood was coming. Yelu Zongyuan... was simply a devil. How dare he order the dam in the upstream? This is a big mistake in the world and angering for both humans and gods."
In an instant, all the questions had clear answers when the flood was rolling in. Everyone around them also understood and were speechless.
"There are still people in the city, what should I do? The flood has arrived." Bai Bing shouted at the busy people in Xingzhong Mansion.
Everyone's eyes were turned to it, their hearts were tightening, and their muscles twitched. Outside the city, there were huge waves hitting, but there were still messy people on the streets in the city. They didn't know that disaster was coming.
"Go away quickly, go away quickly. The flood is coming." Bai Bing stomped his feet in a hurry and couldn't help but scream at the distant city.
Gao Muqing reached out and grabbed her hand and whispered: "Miss Bing'er, it's useless, they can't hear it."
Bai Bing shouted, "Husband, save them."
Lin Jue's mouth twitched, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word. The huge waves hit the city, the water level in the city skyrocketed, and the entire city was instantly submerged. When the crowd on the street was swallowed up like ants, Bai Bing covered her and cried.
For a few hours, Lin Jue said nothing, standing on the cliff and watching the scene of the floods below. From Lin Jue's perspective, He Longshan is now like an island surrounded by floods. Below is a dirty torrent full of foam and garbage, and all the wildernesses that are in sight are already vast. Lin Jue knew that the huge waves would go south and east all the way to the east, loot all the land within a hundred miles, and then slowly calm down. And in this half day, I don't know how many people would die.
Lin Jue's heart was tight and angry. He was never a person pretending to be compassionate. On the battlefield, Lin Jue would not have any means at all. Even in the battle with the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Jue would never have any sympathy. Because Lin Jue's philosophy is that as long as you go to the battlefield and stand in the opposite camp, you are the enemy. You cannot be lenient in treating the enemy at all. Even if you are the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if you have to do it.
However, Lin Jue cannot tolerate the act of killing innocent people indiscriminately and killing unarmed people at will. The strong should not bully the unarmed weak people with force, but should bear the responsibility to protect them. Even the civilians of the enemy should not kill them indiscriminately. Even if you do not want to protect them, you cannot take their lives arbitrarily because they do not threaten you. What's more, the act of using the lives of the people of your country as bargaining chips and using this extreme way to protect your own private interests is even more despicable.
Yelu Zongyuan, as the emperor of Liao, not only did not save his people, but instead resisted the attack of the Jurchens by ignoring their lives, which made Lin Jue surprisingly angry. Yelu Zongyuan was not worthy of being the emperor of Liao, not worthy of being a man, or even an individual. Such a person, like Guo Xu, was a scum among human beings. He was a devil who could destroy the entire world for his own selfishness. However, sadly, this kind of person ruled the world and was in a respected position. From this, it can be seen how inseparable this era was, how distorted and dirty, and how dark and dull it was.
What's ridiculous is that Yelu Zongyuan did not achieve his goal. Sun Dayong had confirmed the news that the Jurchen cavalry rushed into the Helongshan Valley. The flood could not cross the Helongshan Pass, so the more than 100,000 Jurchen soldiers of Yelu Zongyuan were safe and sound. This is really a bit ironic. Yelu Zongyuan knew this news, and he was afraid he would go crazy.
As time goes by, the flood also shows signs of subsidence. After all, no matter how much water is, it will become shallow under the distribution of such a huge flood discharge area. However, the water level falls, more terrible scenes are exposed. From a distance, the north bank of the Daling River after the flood was originally green and full of vitality, but it is now bare. The flood stripped away the turf and soil, revealing the yellow and orange and the miserable white ground in the sun.
The surface is sandy soil under the strata. Originally, Daling River and the people were injured. Xingang????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It can be imagined that under the sun, the gravel ground will soon be dried. When the wind blows, dust will spread everywhere and sand and dust in the sky. This fertile land will soon become a barren land.
Yelu Zongyuan's action of digging dams was not only to kill 200,000 people from the Liao Kingdom, destroy so many cities and villages, but also completely destroy the entire fertile land, destroy the fertile soil in the eastern part of Zhongjing Road, and destroy the foothold of future generations.
The floods on both sides of the Daling River also disappeared. Some mounds and high slopes were also exposed, and they were filled with black trees and grass and wreckage of corpses. From a distance, they looked like piles of huge scars. The turbid flood was like a piece of stagnant water, and the corpses of swollen people and livestock could be seen in the white foam. The hands and feet of the swollen corpses stretched out from the water surface and towards the sky. It was like praying for the mercy of heaven and the final accusation, which made people shudder.
The flood in Xingzhong Mansion actually subsided quickly. The sudden rise of Daling River after the flood peak arrived lasted less than half an hour. The surging water level disappeared as the torrent continued to overflow south. There was still a lot of water in the city, but most of the city walls and houses had been revealed. However, on the roofs of those city walls, the bodies of the people in a row were all soaked like blowing dolls. A large number of circling vultures fell on the roofs of the city walls and pecked at the corpses, some flew into the sky with long flesh-dripping internal organs and intestines, fighting and biting each other.
Faced with such a scene, Gao Muqing and Bai Bing, who had been with Lin Jue, couldn't help but vomit. Lin Jue looked at the two women apologetically, and finally decided not to stay here to watch these tragic disasters in the world. So he took the two women down the cliff and returned to the woods.
Everyone was in a deep mood. When they returned to the forest, they were speechless. They just ate some dry food silently, and then they each rested at Sun Dayong's instructions. Lin Jue was also a little exhausted and depressed. He closed his eyes and rested in the shack for a while, but before he knew it, he fell asleep.
Lin Jue had a dream, dreaming that he was standing on the wasteland. The flood heads that were dozens of feet high like mountains rushed over, which made Lin Jue frightened. The key was that there were countless people struggling on the waves of water, screaming and screaming.
"Save me, save me. Save me." The screams of the people who were wrapped in waves were shrill and harsh. Lin Jue ran desperately, and the people were chasing behind him. Finally, Lin Jue was exhausted, feeling that his head, neck, arms, thighs, hands and feet were dragged and entangled by countless hands, and his whole body was also swept into the turbid waves until he suffocated.
"Ah, ah!" Lin Jue woke up screaming, sat up and looked around blankly, his forehead covered with sweat.
