Boom! The levee was finally breached. The river was like a dragon as it roared and rushed out of the levee. The roaring sound of the water made the thunder in the sky lose its color.
Everyone stood on the shore and looked at the flood. Their hearts were trembling. They were really afraid that the flood would destroy the levee they were in.
But fortunately, the levee they were in was very strong. The flood couldn't destroy the levee they were in. The flood rushed along the river.
Zhao Hai and the other Sky Dance level experts all flew along the river. They wanted to see if the flood would be able to destroy the levee that they destroyed.
The speed of the flood was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it reached the levee that was destroyed by Zhao Hai. The levee that was destroyed by Zhao Hai wasn't able to stop the flood. It was directly destroyed by the flood. Then the flood rushed out like a wild horse.
After the flood rushed out of the levee, it went straight towards the direction of Huanhe City. There was no other way, Huanhe City was a relatively low area in the vicinity. Naturally, the flood would rush there.
As the impact of the flood got bigger and bigger, the levee's breached area also got bigger and bigger. When Zhao Hai saw this, he finally felt relieved. He knew that his plan was successful. Although there were a lot of experts in the Holy Academy's army, there were even more ordinary soldiers. Once the flood rushed over, those ordinary soldiers would be finished. In addition to the soldiers being submerged, the Holy Academy's army provisions would also be destroyed.
Naturally, the consequences of this was that the civilians in the vicinity of Huanhe City would be finished. However, Zhao Hai believed that the loss of civilians wouldn't be too heavy. This was because the civilians of Huanhe City had been forced to evacuate. One must know that if an army of hundreds of thousands suddenly rushed into the city, there would be no place for civilians to stay. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to use this plan. If the flood rushed into Huanhe City, then the city would be completely finished.
Zhao Hai looked at the momentum of the flood, then he turned his head and said, "Let's go back." Then he led everyone back to the tree. At this time, it was still raining. After Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the tree, they immediately went back to the camp.
When Zhao Hai and the others returned to the camp in the rain, the camp was already prepared with hot water and dry clothes. There was also ginger water to help everyone get rid of the cold.
After Zhao Hai and the others changed their clothes, they immediately gathered everyone in the command tent. After everyone sat down, Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "The first step of our plan has been successful. The levee has been breached, and the flood is now heading towards River Washing City. I believe that it won't be long before River Washing City turns into a swamp. At that time, our plan would be successful." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's go.
Everyone cheered. Although they didn't know if Zhao Hai's plan could achieve its goal, they were still very happy when they heard Zhao Hai say that the plan was successful.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone's expression and smiled faintly. After everyone calmed down, he opened his mouth and said, "Alright, don't be happy too early. Although it's certain that Huan River City will be flooded, it will still be troublesome for us. As far as the current situation is concerned, the rain might continue for a few days. This will make us lose a good opportunity to expand our gains." Zhao Hai smiled faintly.
Everyone nodded, but they didn't speak. They just waited for Zhao Hai to continue. They believed that Zhao Hai had other plans. Zhao Hai wouldn't let go of this opportunity to expand their gains.
Zhao Hai said, "Everyone, come to the sand table. I'll arrange the next task."
Everyone immediately complied. Then they followed Zhao Hai to the sand table. Zhao Hai pointed at the sand table and said, "We've already explored several places. These places are particularly suitable for the construction of pontoon bridges. We've also tested it before. The enemy also knows that these places are suitable for the construction of pontoon bridges. Therefore, as soon as we set up a pontoon bridge, they would immediately destroy it. However, I think that they won't be able to do anything to us right now. Therefore, we'll just wait for the rain to slow down a bit before organizing people to set up pontoon bridges in these places. Then the army will cross the river as quickly as possible."
Everyone nodded. This was because the places that Zhao Hai pointed out were the lower reaches of the Huan River. Moreover, they were familiar with the terrain of these places. Before, they wanted to set up pontoon bridges there, but in the end, they didn't succeed and were destroyed by the enemy. Now that Zhao Hai wanted them to set up pontoon bridges there, they were already familiar with the process. They believed that as long as the enemy doesn't destroy them this time, they would certainly succeed.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "After we reach the other side of the river, we'll immediately set up camps here, here, here, and here. At the same time, we'll make wooden rafts as fast as possible. Then we'll chase down the enemies that slipped through the net."
Everyone nodded. At the same time, they also remembered the places that Zhao Hai pointed out. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "The hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side of the river are all that the enemy can gather in a short period of time. As long as we eliminate them, the enemy wouldn't be able to gather an army to deal with us in a short period of time. At that time, we can seize the opportunity to capture Nanhua City. We can even capture the surrounding cities."
Everyone's face was filled with excitement. If they could capture Nanhua City and the surrounding cities, then it would be a good thing for them.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Alright, everyone go and prepare. Make sure that the soldiers are prepared for the rain, especially the provisions and the ballistas. Don't let the provisions become moldy, and don't let the ballistas become damp. Go." Everyone nodded before they turned around and left.
Zhao Hai left Liu Hong behind, then he looked at him and said, "Liu Hong, you'll be the busiest in the next few days. This is also the time when you need to be the most. Closely monitor the situation in Huan River City. Pay attention to where their people have retreated. Pay attention to how they deal with this situation. Go."
Liu Hong nodded before he quickly left. After Liu Hong left, Zhao Hai calmed down. He let out a long breath as he carefully looked at the sand table in Huan River City. Then a smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Liu Kaide was standing on the city wall of Huanhe City in a daze, looking at the surging flood. To be honest, when he first came to Huanhe City, he never thought that he would see such a situation. He still had a bellyful of revenge, but it was completely extinguished by the sudden flood.
The flood came too fast and too ferocious. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were now in the Huanhe City. The flood had directly surrounded the city. Moreover, several parts of the city walls had already collapsed. Many of the defenders in the city had also drowned.
Liu Kaide knew that they were finished. Hundreds of thousands of troops were surrounded by the flood. Moreover, the flood was still rising. Although a lot of soldiers ran to the city walls and some residents' houses to take shelter, Liu Kaide knew that it was only a matter of time before they were submerged.
However, Liu Kaide was still waiting. He was waiting for news. He wanted to know if this flood was man-made or natural.
Before long, a Sky Dance Expert flew to Liu Kaide's side. He cupped his fist and said, "Mister, let's leave. The city walls won't be able to hold for long."
Liu Kaide asked in a deep voice, "Do you know if the flood was man-made or natural?"
The Sky Dance Expert replied, "We still can't find out. A place upstream of Huan River City has burst its banks. We still don't know why the banks burst. This is because the banks have already been destroyed. We can't see whether it was man-made or not."
Liu Kaide nodded. Then he looked at the panicked soldiers inside the city and sighed. He really didn't know what to say. He wanted to save the soldiers and take them to a safe place. However, it was clear that this was impossible. Not to mention him, even if all of the Sky Dance Experts and even the River Break Experts were to take action, they still wouldn't be able to save the soldiers. The soldiers were finished.
Moreover, Liu Kaide was very clear that whether this flood was caused by Zhao Hai or not, Zhao Hai wouldn't let go of this opportunity. Even if the flood was natural, Zhao Hai wouldn't let go of this opportunity. Zhao Hai would certainly bring his army to kill them in the shortest time possible. Once they arrive, it would be impossible for them to stop Zhao Hai's army.
Moreover, the flood didn't cause the most damage to the soldiers, but to their provisions and weapons. All of the heavy weapons couldn't be used, and all of the provisions were soaked in water. It can be said that there was no chance for them to escape.
Liu Kaide sighed and then flew away with the other Sky Dance Experts. They wanted to leave this place and find a way to establish a defensive line to block Zhao Hai's army. Naturally, Liu Kaide also knew that this was impossible. This was because even with the Sacred Court's ability, it was impossible to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a short time to block Zhao Hai's attack. This didn't mean that the city-states under the control of the Sacred Court didn't have any troops. On the contrary, there were still a lot of troops under the control of the Sacred Court. However, it would be difficult to gather all of them in a short time.
Moreover, the Sacred Court had conscripted troops twice in a row. And in these two failures, they had lost nearly a million people. Nearly a million people wasn't a small number. Even for the Sacred Court, this loss was enough to give them a headache.
It must be said that the Sacred Court's move was the right one. They directly controlled the city-states. If they didn't control the city-states and relied on their influence to control them, then it would be troublesome. Perhaps the city-states wouldn't trust the Sacred Court anymore.
Liu Kaide left, but the rain didn't stop. The houses in Huanhe City collapsed one after another. In the end, even the walls of the city fell. In this case, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers had no hope of escaping. Only those who were good at swimming were able to escape with some wood. Most of the people were drowned.
Zhao Hai didn't care about this. At this time, their army still hadn't moved. They were still waiting. The rain outside was still too heavy, so they would wait for the rain to lessen before moving.
However, Zhao Hai didn't expect that this heavy rain would last for five days. After five days, the rain stopped. Zhao Hai and the others immediately moved. According to Liu Hong, the places where the pontoon bridges were located downstream of Huanhe City were no longer safe. However, they arrived at a good place, the place where Zhao Hai and the others built the levee. There was a big tree that was made by Zhao Hai. Moreover, the river was relatively narrow. If the tree was cut down, then it would form a natural bridge that would allow the army to reach the other side of the river.
After listening to Liu Hong's report, Zhao Hai immediately decided to cross the river from the tree. However, he didn't need to cut down the tree. To be honest, there were many holes in the tree. Even if the tree was cut down, it wouldn't be able to be used as a bridge. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to think of another way.
In fact, Zhao Hai's idea was very simple. He just needed to plant a tree on the other side of the river. Then he would use vines and branches to make a bridge between the two trees. This way, the army would be able to pass through smoothly.
Although this method was impossible for the people of the Spirit Weapon Realm, for Zhao Hai, this was a very simple matter. Moreover, the trees that Zhao Hai planted weren't trees from the Spirit Weapon Realm, they were trees from the Space. These trees had been improved.
Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at the riverbank and planted a tree. Then he had the tree grow quickly. The branches even extended to the other side of the river. Then Zhao Hai planted some vines. These vines also grew quickly. Then the vines and the branches formed a bridge in a short time. This bridge wasn't narrow.
After the bridge was built, Zhao Hai immediately had the army cross the river. However, it was clear that this bridge wasn't enough. Zhao Hai immediately made a few more bridges, allowing the army to smoothly cross the river.
When they reached the other side of the river, the army immediately set up camp and began to look around. When the army arrived at the original Huanhe City, they were shocked. Huanhe City was no longer there, it had turned into a vast ocean. Moreover, there were countless corpses floating in the water. It was a terrifying scene.
Zhao Hai stood on the shore and looked at Huan River City. He sighed and said, "This place needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible. If we don't clean up the corpses, then it's very likely that a plague will occur. If that happens, then our sins will be big."
Everyone nodded, they didn't think that Huan River City would be this miserable. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Alright, I'll block the dam as soon as possible. You also need to divert the water and make it disappear as soon as possible. Then bury the corpses. If we can't deal with them as soon as possible, then this place will become a big problem."
Everyone nodded. Then Zhao Hai said, "Deal with this place. As long as we leave behind a few tens of thousands of people, then we'll be fine. The others need to advance as soon as possible. We can't let the Sacred Court establish a defensive line. We need to take Nanhua City as soon as possible." Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai waved his hand, then everyone went to do their own things.
