Chapter 357 Jiupan Dam

There is no shortage of water along the Changshui coast, and we even have to guard against rising water in many cases.Especially in some places with loose terrain structure or areas with hanging rivers, once the water rises, it may cause floods. Not only casualties, but also damage and spread over a large area, causing tragic natural disasters.

Although Hong Chao has never been active in people's livelihood, there are always some people who still want to do things, such as Feng Mingyuan, the lord of Yongchuan City, and Mu Wuchen, the lord of Shuangqing City.

The two of them felt that a place called Jiupan Town in the middle of the two cities would be flooded almost every year during the high water season, and the flood would follow this low-lying and slightly higher "canal" on both sides. "The terrain shape flows straight down the river, hitting directly for more than a hundred miles, and everywhere it goes is the ocean.

It made the originally good food self-produced land become a huge burden.The two cities have to invest a lot of money and food for disaster relief every year, and even allocate a certain amount of rations for relief after the disaster.

After all the calculations, it is a bad thing about old rotten millet.Over the years in the Hong Dynasty, the city lords of these two cities have not been bored by this matter.Some simply ignore it. Anyway, if the water is blocked, it will only go south, and it will not spread to both sides and affect the vicinity of their respective cities.

Together, Feng Mingyuan and Mu Wuchen, who couldn't see the past, decided to bleed a little bit, and solve the problem in Jiupan Town once and for all.

After many on-the-spot observations, the two sides negotiated many times, and finally decided on a strategy, which is to find a suitable location in the direction of Changshui in Jiupan Town to build a dam.Usually, water is diverted for irrigation during the flat water season, and even more fish ponds can be built by diverting water. When the water is low, silt is dug, and when the water is high, the water is stored to prevent disasters.

It took nearly five years of long construction and the cost was astonishing, but in the end it was done by Mu Wuchen and Feng Mingyuan.It has also become a great achievement for the two of them. At least for Feng Mingyuan, the dam incident has earned him a lot of fame in the temple. much less.

In recent years, the dam has been expanded twice. Because of the absence of floods, there are more and more people in Jiupan Town, the food production has increased, and the living area has also increased. More people have set up ponds to raise fish. Business is more profitable than honest farming, so more water is needed.There are also new requirements for the storage capacity of dams.

Bailang knew these things when he was listening to people chatting on the street, and he knew the details when he was talking about interesting things about the Changshui Basin with those in the boat gang on the pier, including the size of the dam.

Last year, Bailang took his younger siblings to play at the dam. At that time, he lamented that although the dam was rough, it was still spectacular, and it looked solid.

Nowadays, no one takes seriously the dams built by the two cities for the sake of the people's livelihood, because the consistent thinking of "sticking to it" has locked almost everyone's eyes, making everyone stare at the city walls and all kinds of guards. sharp tools, and even various consumables and food reserves in the city.

When the ruler rod in Liu Jianyu's hand fell more than three inches above Wocandang, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a buzzing thought explosion in their heads because of the logo representing the dam inserted there!

Wocandang is just below Jiupan Town, the distance between the two sides is less than [-] miles, and Jiupan Town is less than [-] miles away from Jiupan Dam. if.
"You are all members of the military family. I pretended not to hear those stupid words just now, but now that you all recognize Jiupanba, let me tell you what you think. Is it possible to use this surprise attack?"

Liu Jianyu's voice fell, and no one jumped out to object this time, nor did they have the idea that Liu Jianyu was crazy just now.

Bailang on the corner also understood Liu Jianyu's plan: taking advantage of the opportunity when Yunyan's army had to stop and rest due to the injury of the main general, take advantage of the right time and place to destroy the Jiupan Dam at a high place. After the Changshui swelled, the turbulent water rushed down along Jiupan Township and rushed into Wocandang!Let the place of Wocandang return to what it was more than ten years ago.

And because Jiupanba was repaired and put into use in the past ten years, it definitely belongs to "geographical information that has never been grasped" by Yunyan's side.It also means that Yunyan Manzi will not be prepared for the accident of Jiupanba dam break and flooding in a short period of time.

"The barbarians know very little about water, and the floods carrying the mud and rocks down will definitely cause huge casualties to them!"

"Yes! The terrain on the Wocandang side is right in the area with the most ferocious water and the most mud and rocks, and is surrounded by high terrain on all sides, and the water depth can be at least two feet. Under such impact, it is the season of long water and flooding. , after the killing, it can form a water belt that will not recede for at least a month or two, which is undoubtedly an excellent barrier for us!"

"You can choose to blow up the dam late at night, and wait until the water reaches Wocandang at the right time. In your sleep, the damage will definitely be greater!"

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. Bai stared at the generals around him who seemed to be enlightened and talked more and more excitedly, while looking at Liu Jianyu who was standing in front of the sand table.For the first time, he had some admiration for the general who suddenly came to Yongchuan City to take charge of the defense.At least in the current extremely bad situation of being swept away like fallen leaves, Hong Chao still did not give up any chance to win, instead of blindly immersing himself in the city defense with little chance.

And at least judging from the current deduction, there is really a chance to use the right time and place to inflict a heavy blow to Yunyan.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that the generals in the big tent listed the final military strategy after Liu Jianyu's selection and synthesis.

"It doesn't take many people to destroy the dam, but it requires as many Qi trainers as possible to go there, and use spells or formations to expand the gap as large as possible in a very short period of time. At the same time, it is necessary for the rangers to approach after the dam breaks. This side of Yongchuan City is being cleaned up.
The affairs of defending the city remain as usual, but because of the shortage of troops needed for the suppression, they need to be transferred from other places, so the city defense will have a rotation, and you will be notified separately at that time.

So, do you have any other opinions? "

"Follow the command of the general!"

"Very good! Then, everyone, follow orders! Prepare today, launch an attack at night, everything as soon as possible!"

Bailang came out of the Chinese army's tent and was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he waited in the military camp for subsequent adjustment orders.

Sure enough, Bailang received a new appointment, not only to guard the industrial park, but also to be responsible for the defense of the city wall in the east of the city.Because once there is a change, the industrial park outside the east city will be attacked first. If it cannot defend Bailang, it is reasonable to retreat directly to the east city wall and then switch to defending the city wall.

It's just that the five hundred or so people in Bailang's hands are really not enough!Moreover, Bailang's plan was to add his men to the "killed list" bit by bit when the industrial park was attacked, and then escape from the battlefield by boat and evacuate to Daomen Village.

Now it seems that an adjustment has to be made.
