Chapter 163 Righteousness

There is more than one place along the river in the north of Kaifeng where the embankment can burst. The river embankment stretches for thirty to fifty miles, and there are seven or eight weak spots.

At the weak point, thirty or fifty people took hoes and rakes, and it was easy to dig up the river embankment in a quarter or two.

Floods in the Yellow River have existed since ancient times. Over the past dynasties, with the development of Guanzhong and northwest lands, the sediment in the Yellow River has become heavier, making the floods in the Yellow River more serious with the changes of dynasties.

Every time there is a flood in the Yellow River, once its banks burst, the poison will spread for thousands of miles, involving hundreds of thousands or millions of people. It has been a thorn in the side of dynasties throughout the ages.

The Ming Dynasty regulated the river many times, but it could not fundamentally solve the problem of sediment and sediment. No matter what method was used, it was inevitable to heighten and strengthen the river embankment. Therefore, the more sediment there was, the higher the river embankment was. The sedimentation raised the river bed, causing the The lower reaches of the Yellow River became a hanging river.

That is to say, the water level is higher than the two sides.

Once the embankment breaks, you can imagine how serious the consequences will be.

Master Li and his apprentice visited several places along the river when they saw Niu Jinxing leading his army to dig the river embankment.

"It's so heartbreaking!"

Li Zhenren looked cold and solemn, shook his shoulders and took off his raincoat, pulled out a pine-patterned sword with his backhand, connected his feet, and the Taoist robes swayed like a big bird. After a few ups and downs, he rushed into the thieves.

The little Taoist priest was extremely angry. Where did he fall behind? He also stepped forward with his sword straight.

Li Zhenren's feet were erratic, and his pine-patterned sword was sharp and unstoppable. It was accurate and ruthless, and with a flick of the sword's edge, a thief would be pierced through the throat.

The little Taoist priest is much more violent. He holds a sword in both hands, and his sword skills are wide open and closed. If he kills someone, his body will be mutilated.

Niu Jinxing was furious. While urging the diggers, he directed the siege. In the drizzle, the thieves shouted to kill, but the two Taoist priests remained silent.

The young Taoist priest slashed and killed a stray thief with one sword. He accidentally slipped in the muddy water and was injured by the stray thief when he was unable to block him. Seeing this, Li Zhenren became anxious and swung his sword to fend off several people, protecting the young Taoist priest behind his back.

"Master!"

The little Taoist priest took a breath, stabbed a thief to death with his sword, and shouted: "Thanks for the rain, otherwise the thief used a blunderbuss, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything good today."

Li Zhenren's sleeves and robes swung up, blocking the sight of the bandits in front of him. A sword swiped across from the side. Several bandits' necks went cold, and they fell to the ground screaming.

"Don't say more." Li Zhenren said: "You must not teach the thieves to dig the river embankment. Otherwise, my master and disciple will be dead. How can they dare to see their ancestors? I will open the way for you and try to drag them away." Stop, go and kill the man who dug the embankment!"

"Yes, Master!"

The little Taoist priest took a breath, and the master and apprentice worked together to fight their way out of the siege of the self-defeating thieves. Zhenren Li blocked most of the thieves, and the little Taoist priest jumped and ran. He caught sight of a middle-aged scholar who was directing the excavation of the embankment. With a flick of his sword, he pounced on him!

"Block him!"

Niu Jinxing shouted, and dozens of people on the left and right rushed towards the little Taoist priest. Niu Jinxing shouted: "Hurry up and dig the embankment and flood Kaifeng. King Chuang has an order. He who breaks the embankment will do great work. After breaking the city, you can do whatever you want!"

The bandit laughed ferociously, as if he saw Kaifeng being flooded, the city walls collapsed, and the people in the city were allowed to be killed by him, the women were allowed to be tortured by the silver, and the gold and silver were allowed to be traded. The beast's blood couldn't help boiling, and each one of them picked up their weapons and dug hard.

After all, the little Taoist priest was young, no more than ten years old. After killing more than ten people in a row, he lost his strength. He was surrounded by dozens of thieves and stabbed with swords and guns, making the obstruction more difficult and dangerous.

Li Zhenren killed dozens of thieves and sighed deeply when he saw this. He shook the sword, and a piece of yellow paper flew out of his sleeve. He held the yellow paper and wiped it on the blade of the sword. The yellow paper ignited spontaneously without fire and turned into fly ash in an instant, leaving a hazy cloud on the blade. A layer of light!

Li Zhenren holds this sword, the more powerful it becomes. Wherever he passed, the swords, guns and clubs were cut into two, and the armor and coats were like paper. The dozen thieves who had just retreated and then rushed forward were killed by him with a round swing of his sword. Just in time to repel the stray thief, he turned back and ran towards the little Taoist priest.

"Demon way!"

Niu Jinxing saw clearly and couldn't help being shocked and angry.

He yelled: "Thousands of taels of bounty will be given to anyone who kills the demon!"

A big reward comes with a brave man. The bandit who was shocked by Zhenren Li's methods suddenly mustered up the courage to surround him and kill him. These thieves are all old thieves, ferocious and vicious, much more violent than ordinary thieves and followers.

Zhenren Li was surrounded again and killed more than ten people. The light on the sword's edge was extinguished. As a last resort, he put another piece of yellow paper on the sword and continued to fight hard.

This Taoist was soaked all over, his three-inch beard was stuck together, and there were many scars on his Taoist robe, stained with blood.

Although he is a very human being, he is not as physically strong as Ying Yi. There are strange magic and magic, but nothing is indestructible.

And sometimes his physical strength was exhausted, but the flow of thieves hit him one after another. After half a moment, he was out of breath.

The little Taoist priest over there was even more difficult to cover up. He fell to the ground several times, but he still kept fighting.

Zhenren Li originally had many means, but he had to be prepared before he could use them. However, the bandits kept charging and killing him, leaving him no time to prepare. If there are hundreds of people protecting each other and giving Zhenren Li room to display his methods, Niu Jinxing and more than a thousand people may not be able to get the benefits.

Seeing that the little Taoist priest fell to the ground again and could hardly get up, Li Zhenren was very anxious. He took out a jade token from his arms despite being stabbed several times by the bandit.

Throwing the jade token in the air, Li Zhenren let out a light scolding and spit out a blood arrow from his mouth, hitting the jade token. Then they saw that Mr. Li's face turned pale, he staggered and narrowly avoided several spear heads, and a piece of clear light was released from the jade plaque. The clear light fell down in an instant, and dozens of people around him had their limbs cut off. arm!

Niu Jinxing was horrified, but when he saw the Taoist panting, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Kill, kill me, the demon can't hold on any longer!"

However, the thief hesitated, not daring to step forward for a moment.

Master Li felt for the gap, rushed to the little Taoist priest, and protected the little Taoist priest behind his back.

He said: "Today, master and disciple, you and I are probably going to end up here. It's a pity that you won't reach the crown..."

The little Taoist priest shook his head, showing a stubborn and fierce face: "Master, my disciple is not afraid!"

"Okay." Zhenren Li laughed loudly: "The thieves are cruel and will be punished by God sooner or later. You and I, the master, are the thieves who blocked the flow. Even if we die here, it is a worthy death!"

The master and the apprentice were back to back, and they continued to kill towards the embankment.

Niu Jinxing was so anxious that she made empty promises and urged the thieves to surround and kill them.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly in the rain, and a loud shout was heard: "Kill, don't let the thieves dig the dam!"

Niu Jinxing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked back, only to see more than a thousand people riding horses in the dim light.

Upon hearing this, Zhenren Li became very energetic and shouted: "Why don't you stop the traitor quickly!"

Zhang Shi arrived.

Qian Yuye refused to hold back like a wolf and a tiger, tearing open the rain curtain and colliding with the bandit, and in the blink of an eye he was overturned!

Ye Bushou is the elite of Ying Yi's command, and all of them are strong men who have received military merit. The worst one has physical fitness above 1.5. General Zhang Shi's body was broken, and he killed people with extreme violence, such as chopping melons, vegetables, chickens and sheep.

With just one charge, the bandit was defeated!

Niu Jinxing's face is livid, but how can he be willing? He shouted and fought to the death.

At this time, someone shouted: "It's dug out! It's dug out!"

With a roar, a gap opened in the embankment, and the dim river water surged out like a funnel, knocking out all the dozen thieves in the gap at once!
