Chapter 515 Disaster
"Hoohoo!"
"Blah, blah, blah!"
The strong wind did not come too suddenly. There were signs of wind and rain before it came, but the accompanying strong wind made the rain even heavier.
At this time, Liu Wu was in charge of the county and had numerous officials under his command.
"call!"
As the wind and rain entered the room, an official reported urgently, "The storm is too strong during the big wine ceremony. The water in the river outside the city has surged, but the city is temporarily unimpeded."
"Hoo ho, ba ta ba ta!"
Along with the strong wind, the windows and doors were blown loudly.
With the heavy rain, the roof pattered with rain.
Then, what followed was an urgent message.
It's not that Liu Wu doesn't want to go out to inspect the city at this time, but that at this stage, Changsha City needs him to coordinate and coordinate, and even the three counties under his control need to be coordinated by him.
Of course, in this case, if something went wrong early in his schedule, everything is arranged in advance. Once there is a problem, the personnel arranged there can respond quickly.
For example, four infantry brigades and five infantry battalions were dispersed at this time and stationed in important places such as rivers and lakes, especially at dams, with many people stationed.
As for Liu Wu, his role at this time was to sit in Changsha and stabilize people's hearts.
At the same time, he still has a lot of reserve forces in his hands. If there is a problem where the local troops are stationed and the militia, people and government cannot solve it, then Liu Wu will be needed to mobilize troops from other places.
Because he is the overall coordinator here, even if strong winds and heavy rain block the road, he can roughly know where there are vacant militiamen and other effective forces, and then order the mobilization.
This is the most important.
As for Changsha City, there are dedicated people in charge, but they need to report to Liu Wu and let him know what he is doing.
The many officials gathered in the hall were also responsible for assisting Liu Wu in coordinating the situation.
In the building next to it, all the guards in heavy armor were stationed.
At this time, all of them were recruited as messengers.
Under strong winds and heavy rain, it is already difficult for ordinary people to move, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to move when wearing heavy armor.
So it's time for these personal guards with internal strength to come on stage.
It's not that they can walk swiftly in the wind and rain wearing heavy armor, but it is still more convenient than other means of communication.
All the people living on both sides of the river who could move have been moved, and the pressure on the staff has been much reduced.
On a mountain top, or on the back side of a mountain top, the villagers taking refuge looked at the almost dark weather, listened to the strong wind, and from time to time could see branches being blown by, feeling very sad.
"In my 30 years, I have never seen such strong winds. It's so scary!!"
Soon the torch was raised, and there was some light all around.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it. It was just a strong wind, but it turned out to be dark today."
Although it was a conversation, everyone who spoke was shouting loudly.
Because the wind was so strong and whistling, normal speech could not be heard at all.
"Quickly, check if there is water in the food and whether the firewood is wet!"
"Every security chief and every neighbor chief should count the number of people and see if everyone has expired!"
"Crack!"
Accompanied by lightning and thunder, the surrounding lights flickered, and suddenly someone pointed outside.
"I just saw something flying past!"
"I saw it too, it looked like a big tree!"
Some people worry, “I don’t know what’s going on with my house?”
Someone sneered, "Don't think about your house. It's so big. It's likely that all the houses in the village will be blown away. Fortunately, the Han army hid in the past, otherwise we would all be blown away with the strong wind!!" "
In the not-so-large shelter, the people who had escaped the disaster talked to each other to get rid of the fear in their hearts.
......
On a river embankment, patrol tactics were patrolling and holding on despite the strong wind.
"The water is still rising, and there must be no problems with this dam."
"There are several villages in the surrounding area. If the dam collapses, then these villages will be doomed!"
"Be careful, hold hands, support each other, don't let the wind blow you away!"
In the headquarters not far away, the situation was also constantly reported.
"Inspection teams have been dispatched to each village and ordered to prepare!"
"Each village has organized a militia team, come and report and accept command!"
"Horse riding, the wind is so strong that the fire can't be lit!"
...........
In a county town, the county magistrate and the county priest are leading a team to inspect the city, especially in densely populated areas.
The county magistrate braved the wind and rain to inspect a dilapidated house.
Seeing the house creaking in the strong wind and looking like it might collapse at any moment, Xian Jijiu couldn't help but wipe the rain off his face.
"Fortunately, the owner of this house has been evacuated."
But the county magistrate looked around and said quickly: "The people in several houses around this house should also be temporarily relocated to prevent them from being injured by the collapse of dangerous buildings!"
"Ok!"
"We have to go back after the inspection and wait until the strong wind passes before going out to inspect!"
"I know, let's explore the situation now. It will take a long time for this strong wind to pass!"
...........
Simply put, there were many arrangements made under the Han army this time. Although it cannot be said to be perfect, the casualties and losses have been reduced to a minimum at this time.
However, the impact of this strong wind was not limited to the Han army.
With the continuous movement of strong winds, both Bailian and Daqian were hit by strong winds, especially those along the coast that suffered the greatest losses.
Two days after the strongest wind under the rule of the Han army had passed, the rulers had begun to patrol around, count the losses, and organize the people to rebuild. In a coastal county of Fuzhou under the rule of Da Gan, the wind and rain were violent.
In a house in a village, the son was a little scared when he looked at the windows that could not be closed no matter how hard he tried.
"Father, the wind is so strong, it feels like the sky is falling!"
The father comforted the child: "It's okay, it's okay, even if the sky falls, the gods will hold it up!"
"You can't start the fire. Go to sleep first. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be over."
At night, something terrible happened.
I saw that the river water surged, but it could not reach the sea. Instead, the seawater began to erode inland.
At night, the sound of the waves was so loud that it kept people awake.
"what sound!"
At night, it was windy and rainy, and it was too dark to see anything.
"what!"
Accompanied by huge waves, accompanied by extremely weak calls for help and screams, a fishing village disappeared in an instant.
However, the disaster did not stop.
Not because of anything else, but because the sea water is really pouring in.
Disaster is just the beginning! !
