" Flying Hero Pass is finished!"
Looking at the raging floodwaters below, a hint of sadness flashed in Lu Donghuchen's eyes. It seemed that his trip to Zhennan was truly over.
This flood has utterly routed their own army, and their morale is probably completely shattered.
How to get through these Tiandu a problem, not to mention facing the heavily armed Great Liang later on. The pressure is really immense.
The thought had just crossed his mind when he suddenly noticed a few streaks of light in the sky, and he was momentarily stunned.
"Hey, why are these stars so close together?"
Upon closer inspection, his pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, "Damn it, there's someone up there! What is that?"
In the darkness, there was clearly a human figure in the light and shadow; this was definitely not an illusion.
He looked at his trusted confidant.
"General, I saw it too!"
The latter looked terrified, and even his voice trembled slightly.
Although the distance was far, he could vaguely see figures above, and he was certain that they were people.
" Great Liang!"
Lu Donghuchen's face turned Bai Qi instantly. Although he didn't know how the other party flew up there, everyone had seen it, so there was no doubt about it.
The only person with such methods who would dare to challenge him is from Great Liang.
Overwhelmed with fear, he gritted his teeth and said, "Can't we shoot them off? With this thing on our heads, we have no chance of survival!"
"General, this..." The confidant looked completely bewildered.
"Roll!"
Lu Donghuchen pushed him aside, took out his bow and arrow from his warhorse, aimed at the firelight in the sky, and shot it.
call out!
The arrow flew to its end, finally falling helplessly to the ground.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out as an unfortunate man who was resting nearby was pierced through the arm by the falling arrow and howled in pain.
A commoner nearby, terrified, chuckled dryly, "General, from this height, we can't possibly shoot at them unless we find the legendary Sun-Shooting Bow!"
Do you think you're funny?
Snap!
Lu Donghuchen slapped him across the face, then kicked him twice more before roaring, "Do you know that if we can't shoot them down, we're all finished? Do you think you can evade their surveillance?"
Under such high-level surveillance, they were completely exposed in the eyes of Great Liang, with nowhere to hide.
Once the flood is over, the enemy will inevitably attack based on the information they provide. It's as if they have supernatural vision; will they even have a chance of survival?
This isn't just running for your life, this is waiting to die!
General, spare my life!
The people were angry but dared not speak out, and quickly knelt down on the ground.
"Roll!"
Lu Donghuchen glared at him and ignored him, instead pondering how to deal with this thing in the sky.
Besides the threat from the enemy, there is also the problem of food, which must also be addressed.
Damn it, my head hurts!
He summoned several lieutenants and instructed them, "You all should rest well. The enemy shouldn't come after the flood has passed."
We must find a way to evacuate here by tomorrow morning, otherwise staying here is just waiting to die.
The best course of action is to clear the waterway ahead. If the water level can be lowered, there might still be a chance to save them, or at least allow them to evacuate.
Otherwise, the only option is to cut down trees and make rafts.
However, in such swift currents, the raft would be too risky; it could easily be lost entirely.
But rather than waiting to die, it's better to give it a try.
At this moment, the entire Flying Hero Pass was filled with despair!
Millions struggled in the floodwaters; apart from a few who managed to escape, the rest were swept away by the torrent.
What was once the gateway to the Zhennan has now become a hellish place, ravaged by floods and filled with the sounds of weeping and wailing.
Some people were a few steps slower and were swept away by the flood. They struggled at first, but were eventually submerged.
"Ah, help us!"
"This..."
Watching the direction where they disappeared, the survivors wept uncontrollably, crying out, "Brother, I wanted to save you too, but I was powerless! This is a great flood!"
Faced with floods, human strength appears so fragile; even self-preservation is a problem, let alone rescuing others.
"Waaah, why did this happen? Weren't we supposed to be trapped and die in Great Liang? How did it turn into us drowning in the flood?" Someone couldn't help but cry, completely unable to accept this fact.
Upon hearing his words, the remaining people fell silent.
Everyone knew one thing: Zhennan was likely in grave danger this time, as nearly the entire nation's military force was now engulfed in floodwaters.
How many millions does a country have? The losses in Zhennan this time have probably exceeded the limit, conservatively estimated to be over two million.
If the elderly, women, and children had not been evacuated in advance, the number would likely have been even more staggering, reaching a staggering five million.
In this situation, Zhennan's chances of survival are slim.
"Shut up!"
Seeing that they were still complaining, the leading general stepped forward and slapped one of his dejected subordinates.
He angrily retorted, "What's the use of complaining when we're outmatched! If we had won, would we have let the people of Great Liang go?"
The most endearing enemy is, of course, a dead enemy.
The current Great Liang is perfectly normal, after all, both sides are engaged in a life-or-death national war, which is no joke.
As a general in Zhennan, although he was not a confidant of Nan Ke, he was aware of his own family's scheme, which was aimed at the million- Great Liang army of Daliang.
If the king's scheme comes true, the million-strong army of Great Liang will surely perish here.
Now that our own plans have failed, while the enemy's plans have come true, we can only say that the enemy is more skilled, and we can't blame anyone else.
Complaining is pointless and will only extinguish the last glimmer of hope.
He said in a deep voice, "Now, forget about right and wrong, and forget about everything else. We need to climb up, before the water level rises and we can't leave!"
"Yes, yes, yes, once the water level rises, we won't be able to leave either!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they were not safe at all; if the water level continued to rise, everything would be over.
slip!
We have to get away, or everything will be for nothing!
They didn't care about their brothers and friends anymore; they just took off running. Avoiding the flood was the most important thing; survival was the next priority.
Under the pressure of the flood, the soldiers and civilians of Zhennan unleashed terrifying potential, frantically heading towards the mountains.
Some who couldn't make it in time, or those who were at the back, didn't even have a chance to climb the mountain. They were swept away by the flood without even a ripple.
