"Don't panic! The dike hasn't collapsed yet!" Liu Zhaoqing shouted, "Those who are still digging the canal, get out of the canal immediately!"

Liu Bei also realized that this was not the time to be in a daze. He said to his staff not far away: "Xianhe, you and the soldiers quickly help the workers retreat to the ridge! Then send people to the city for help!"

Jian Yong, a short and honest fellow villager who had always followed Liu Bei, also realized that the problem was very serious. Although the dam had not collapsed, it looked like it was not far from collapse.

"Go over there and help the villagers climb up the ditch. Ride my horse and go invite Guan, Zhang and Tian Yu!" Jian Yong quickly ordered the soldiers.

"Zhaoqing, you should also go back to the county town as soon as possible!" Liu Bei found that Liu Zhaoqing was still standing there.

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head: "It's too late."

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the raised dam was hit again, and a hole appeared in an instant.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the crack from which the Yellow River water was flowing like a spring. Although it had not yet completely split open, everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before it broke open.

"boom!!"

The next second, with a noise louder than the previous two combined, the swelling that looked like a sore suddenly burst, and the surging Yellow River water sprayed onto the fields.

At the same time, everyone saw that the water of the Yellow River was actually yellow and black. It turned out that there were strange fish in the river. They were huge, with the body of a fish but the wings of a bird. They were so densely packed with countless fish as the flood flowed.

Moreover, the sound made by this strange fish is very strange. The sound is clear and chirping, just like a group of mandarin ducks chirping.

The farmer, who had been farming for his entire life, had never seen such a scene before. In the past, floods in the Yellow River would at most flood the fertile fields, with a few big fish occasionally. But this time, not only did the fish look strange, but their number was as numerous as a swarm of locusts.

Given the size of that strange fish, if one of them hit a mortal, the ordinary person would be turned into paste, not to mention that there were countless of them at a glance.

"Don't just stand there, run to higher ground!" Liu Zhaoqing's shout immediately woke everyone up from their shock.

The drainage ditch dug earlier played a key role. The flood carrying countless strange fish flowed directly into the ditch and did not immediately spread to the surroundings.

This also gave ordinary people time to escape. With the help and guidance of the soldiers, everyone quickly climbed out of the ditch and headed to the dam that had not yet burst.

Although it is quite dangerous to stay on the breached dam, it is the only safe place at the moment.

"Give me your hand!" Liu Zhaoqing pulled up a worker, and at this time the flood over there had begun to flood towards them.

The water of the Yellow River is so turbulent that a few ditches are simply unable to divert all the water elsewhere and can only delay the time of flooding.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Shan! Thank you, Mr. Shan!"

"Don't thank me, just run up to the embankment!" Liu Zhaoqing wanted to kick this guy.

Fortunately, the man was smart enough to realize that now was not the time to thank him, so he turned around and ran upstairs as fast as he could.

"Zhao Qing! Hurry up and get up!"

Liu Bei's voice came from not far away, and Liu Zhaoqing saw that she was also saving people.

Liu Zhaoqing nodded and was about to leave when suddenly a strange fish bigger than a cow jumped out from the water in the distance, flapping its wings and heading straight towards him.

Damn, this thing can fly?!

Liu Zhaoqing thought it could fly, but he never thought this strange fish could fly so far and hit him directly.

Do I have a physique that attracts monsters?

Liu Zhaoqing didn't have time to think about it. He quickly leaned over. The huge double-winged monster fish brushed past Liu Zhaoqing's hair and crashed heavily into the ditch.

Liu Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his physical strength had improved a lot, otherwise he would not have been able to react at all.

But at this moment, Liu Zhaoqing looked up and felt a little stupid.

He saw that the strange fish at the breach had split into many fish and flew towards him.

With his own body movements and mediocre kung fu, it was impossible for him to dodge it.

"Be careful!!"

A loud shout was heard from the side, and then Liu Zhaoqing saw a layer of green on Liu Bei's hands. He came in front of Liu Zhaoqing in a flash, and rushed towards the flying strange fish with his hands crossed.

"boom!"

The first strange fish hit Liu Bei's arms, just like hitting an iron bell, cracking his skull and flying into a depression in the distance.

Liu Bei also took a step back.

"Hide quickly." Liu Bei said to Liu Zhaoqing.

"No, this is too much."

Even if Liu Bei could withstand one, two, or three fish with his physical strength, Liu Zhaoqing could not imagine how terrifying it would be when these countless strange fish flew towards him as a group.

Liu Zhaoqing stood up and started walking, running towards Pingyuan County.

Liu Bei on this side was surprised to find that the school of fish that were originally flying towards her actually flapped their wings and turned.

"Oh no! They are chasing Zhao Qing!" Liu Bei noticed this and immediately became anxious.

"I should have brought a double-edged sword!"

"With so many fish, Zhao Qing will definitely not be able to escape..."

Liu Bei wanted to rescue Liu Zhaoqing, but several strange fish were rushing towards her, making it impossible for her to escape.

Just as Liu Zhaoqing was about to be hit by the strange fish, Liu Zhaoqing rolled directly into the ditch, and the strange fish missed him.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

As soon as he rolled into the ditch, Liu Zhaoqing heard a bird cry above his head. Of course, it was not a bird, but the cry of that strange fish.

As a fish, this thing can not only fly, but its flying ability is also as good as that of a bird. If it misses the target, it can actually turn back in the air.

Just as the strange fish was about to swoop down and hit him, suddenly a purple light streaked across the sky, and several purple arrows shot down all the strange fish flying in the air.

Then there was the sound of horse hooves and a familiar voice.

"Master Zhaoqing! Take my hand!"

Liu Zhaoqing looked up and saw Tian Yu dismounting from his horse, holding a bow and arrow in one hand and reaching towards him with the other.

After pulling himself onto the horse's back, Tian Yu did not get on the horse himself. He simply reached out and patted the horse's butt, then pulled out three arrows from the quiver on his back and pulled the bowstring.

Three purple meteor trails fell, and then three strange fish fell.

"Huh..." Liu Bei on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tian Yu coming.

Although Liu Zhaoqing had mounted his horse, he was not out of danger because the strange fish that had entered the drainage channel suddenly fluttered and flew up again.

"Damn it! Get behind me!"

The voice arrives before the person is seen.

Liu Zhaoqing saw Zhang Fei riding a horse quickly coming towards him in the distance, and he passed by him directly, then took a deep breath.

Liu Zhaoqing immediately covered his ears when he heard this.

"Hey!!"

It was like a loud thunder and as powerful as an earth collapse.

Zhang Fei shouted loudly and a fan-shaped air wave was formed. Countless strange fish were hit and their eyes were bleeding. Their organs ruptured and they fell directly to the ground.

The flying general's shout instantly turned the fields and ditches black, and the corpses of the strange fish fell to the ground like sesame seeds, scattering all over the ground.

Chapter 29: Changes in the Yellow River

Zhang Fei's shout killed at least thousands of shrimps. The piled-up bodies of these dead shrimps even blocked part of the flood.

"What kind of bastard dares to act so presumptuous in front of Grandma Fei!" Zhang Fei snorted disdainfully.

At this time, she found that Liu Zhaoqing came back riding a crooked horse again, and she was immediately shocked.

"Why are you coming back? There are still fish in the torrent! Go back quickly!"

Although Zhang Fei has a rough personality, he also knows what is dangerous and what is not. Liu Zhaoqing is praised by the eldest and second sisters, so how could he not see such a thing?

"The breach has not yet closed. If left unchecked, the entire river embankment will collapse!" said Liu Zhaoqing.

Then he jumped off the horse, which was dizzy because he did not cover his ears with his hands after Zhang Fei shouted.

Zhang Fei quickly grabbed him and put him on his back.

"Don't run around! Stay behind me. This horse is more agile than ordinary horses and can keep us safe."

"Okay." Liu Zhaoqing nodded, then looked at the crowd on the embankment over there, "General Fei, we have to protect those people."

"Tell me how I can protect you!" Zhang Fei said anxiously.

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the breach, then at the extra earthworks abandoned further away, and said to Zhang Fei in front of him: "General Fei, are you strong?"

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows.

"You boy!"

Questioning her strength made Zhang Fei more angry than questioning her temper. The latter was a fact, but the former was one of her specialties.

Seeing Zhang Fei staring with eyes wide open, Liu Zhaoqing felt relieved.

"I have a plan that can close the breach."

"Do you see the earthen rampart over there? That's what's left after the riverbank was reinforced. General Fei, go over there and use your Zhangba Snake Spear to quickly sweep it towards the breach, then use the big rocks next to the earthen rampart to tamp it down. Remember not to sweep it towards the middle, otherwise it will be washed away by the water flow. Close it from one side to the other!"

In the Han Dynasty, closing the breach would have been difficult even with a thousand people, but this era is different.

When Zhang Fei heard this plan, his eyes lit up and he laughed: "This is a good idea, leave it to me!"

"I'll send you to Big Sister and Guo Rang first!"

As he spoke, Zhang Fei raised his snake spear and casually swept away a few flying fish. He came in front of Liu Bei and Tian Yu, grabbed Liu Zhaoqing with one hand and put him on the ground.

"Third sister, where are you going?!" Liu Bei stretched out his hand.

"Haha, don't worry, big sis. I'll listen to Zhao Qing and be a hero again!"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, rode his horse over a few fish carcasses, and headed towards the burst flood. His horse leaped up, directly jumped over the flood and headed towards the earthen fort.

"Sister Xuande, now only the Flying General can close the breach." Liu Zhaoqing said, and told Liu Bei her plan. After listening, Liu Bei felt that this was the only way now.

"Lord Ming and Young Master Zhaoqing, be careful, a few more fish are flying towards us." Tian Yu raised the bow and let Liu Zhaoqing hide behind him.

Zhang Fei on the other side had already arrived in front of the earthen rampart. After dismounting, he held the snake spear and directly strung together three earthen ramparts weighing at least a thousand pounds. Then he shouted and threw them towards the edge of the breach a hundred meters away.

"No, Zhang Fei alone is not enough." Liu Zhaoqing frowned, "Guorang, you go and help too!"

"But if I go, Master Zhaoqing, you..." Tian Yu hesitated.

"I'll go over there. I told you to protect Zhao Qing well." Liu Bei said at this time, and then jumped directly onto the fish corpse and went towards Zhang Fei.

At this time, Tian Yu looked into the distance and said in surprise: "It's Guan Biebu who is here!"

Liu Zhaoqing saw Guan Yu also coming on horseback.

The three of them quickly gathered together, and then Liu Zhaoqing and a group of civilians saw that Zhang Fei was like a human catapult, quickly picking up the earth and stones towards the breach.

This allowed her to choose the landing point with incomparable accuracy every time. Guan Yu, holding the crescent-shaped sword, cut through the torrent with one stroke before the earth and stones flew over. Liu Bei's hand emanated a red and green light, forming an invisible sharp claw that instantly compacted the earth and stones.

With the miraculous cooperation of the three sisters, the huge breach was actually closing up quickly, and soon the last trickle of water was blocked.

Tian Yu on this side had been on guard against those strange fish flying over. After seeing the breach closed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only Tian Yu, but also Liu Zhaoqing and the people on the river bank all put their minds at ease.

Then the people cheered, and Liu Bei and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

The torrent was slowly drained to other places by the ditches. Zhang Fei and Tian Yu were sent by Liu Bei to strangle the fish that flowed into the ditches or tributaries, while Guan Yu stayed behind to prevent any accidents.

"It's only the beginning of February. This strange beast shouldn't appear at this time." Liu Bei came to Liu Zhaoqing's side and looked at the dead fish on the flooded fields with a frown.

"Sister Xuande knows these things?"

"Well, its name is 'Shrimp Fish'."

"Snakehead fish?"

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, a row of ancient characters appeared in his eyes. It was the human book that gave the basic information about the strange fish.
