Chapter 301: The Great Avalanche
Everyone's eyes were attracted by this huge sound, only to see the top of the ancient mountain rose bursts of white mist, the huge snow slope is moving at a speed visible to the naked eye, the white snow is like a white dragon, soaring clouds and mist, whistling, pouring down towards the valley, making an earth-shattering roar, at the foot of the ancient mountain, you can clearly feel the trembling of the earth.
Avalanche!
Liu Yin's face turned pale, this was the scene he didn't want to see the most, and it was also the scene he was most worried about.
The most terrifying thing about the mysterious snow-capped mountains is not the wind, nor the blizzard, but the avalanche, once an avalanche occurs, the kind of earth-destroying power is unstoppable by anyone. Climbing over five snow-capped mountains in a row, Liu Yin's biggest worry is that an avalanche will occur, but maybe it is God's favor, maybe it is good luck, although there was a snowstorm and hail along the way, but there was no avalanche and other disasters, seeing that the army was about to successfully cross all the snowy mountains, but at this time, the avalanche would come unexpectedly.
Liu Yin knows very well that the snow on the snow-capped mountains is a very uncertain structure, for thousands of years, this area has not been set foot in, nature is running with its own laws, and the snow in many places may have reached the critical point of avalanches, but it has not been disturbed by external forces, and it has barely maintained its state.
Now that he has led an army of 30,000 into the snow-capped mountains, the impact of such a large-scale team on the snow-capped mountains can be imagined, and any disturbance in the air, even if it is a cough, will lead to an avalanche.
Liu Yin had already made arrangements in the early stage to deal with the avalanche, and it was forbidden to make loud noises and make loud noises when marching on the snowy mountains. But can there be no avalanches? But it is not something that Liu Yin can control.
Maybe the snow-capped mountains were still quietly suffocating a moment ago. But in the blink of an eye, there was a slight tearing sound, and the snow on the entire mountain would sweep through everything with a devastating force, unstoppable.
There are still the White Emperor's battalion and the mule team responsible for carrying grain and grass supplies on the ancient mountain, and the area they traveled in is a cliff that can only accommodate two or three people to pass side by side, and the avalanche is probably there.
The whole avalanche process is actually very fast, only a few dozen breaths, thousands of squares of snow poured down, burying a deep ravine.
The Shu soldiers under the mountain were all dumbfounded. Overwhelmed.
In the face of the majesty of nature, how small is human beings, the snow whistles down, mercilessly devours everything in front of them, and in front of it, human beings have no ability to resist.
"Prepare to save people!" Liu Yin shouted loudly, and immediately organized hundreds of soldiers, threw away dry food and weapons, and rushed to the mountain lightly.
At the time of the avalanche, the rearguard of the Shu army was advancing down the mountain in succession. Without the slightest warning, the disaster has already fallen from the sky. Huang Chong, the right protector, happened to lead the team to walk under this cliff, and the pouring snow engulfed them in an instant.
The soldiers who walked in front of them and were not buried by the snow were frightened and stupid, standing in place, frightened.
Liu Yin personally led the rescue team to catch up with the halfway up the mountain, this avalanche is huge, the width is almost five or six hundred steps away, the entire passage down the mountain is buried by heavy snow, originally here is a cliff on the left, a deep ravine on the right, there is only a narrow passage in the middle, now it is completely covered by heavy snow, it is impossible to distinguish where it is a cliff, there is a deep ravine.
"What about General Huang? Where is General Huang? Where is General Zhuge located? Liu Yin didn't see Huang Chong on the way up the mountain, he was worried, and when he met the surviving Shu soldiers, he asked one after another. Huang Chong commanded the right army to walk at the end, Liu Yin was very worried about Huang Chong, and Zhuge Shang was also in the broken team, and now there was an avalanche, and the life and death of the two were uncertain, so how could Liu Yin feel at ease.
A sergeant pointed to the snow-covered mountain road and cried, "General Huang is buried under the snow." ”
Liu Yin was shocked and immediately ordered Ah Jian to lead someone to shovel snow to save people.
Ah Jian and others carried several wooden shovels for sappers and immediately threw themselves into the rescue process.
The avalanche in Dagu Mountain is a dry avalanche, also called a powder avalanche, the snow falling from the collapse is relatively loose, and the people buried in the snowdrift still have a chance to survive if they are rescued in time. Saving people is like fighting fire, Ah Jian and several other strong soldiers immediately stepped forward and waved a wooden shovel to clear the snow on the mountain road.
Because the mountain road is too narrow, only two or three people can be allowed to walk side by side, which increases the difficulty of rescue, a working face, at most three people can stand, A Jian and others worked hard to shovel the snow, foot by foot to clean the mountain road, although Liu Yin in the back was anxious, but also helpless.
The section of the road buried by the snow is only five or six hundred steps, and the Shu army that walks behind is fortunate not to encounter an avalanche.
Now that it is known that Huang Chong was buried in the snow, Zhuge still doesn't know what the situation is, Liu Yin ordered someone to shout to the opposite side: "Is General Zhuge okay?" ”
Zhuge Shang poked out a head from there and shouted: "General, the last general is fine, but General Huang is unfortunately buried in the snow, and he has to be rescued quickly." ”
Seeing that Zhuge was still safe and sound, Liu Yin was a little relieved, and urged Ah Jian and the others to speed up and strive to rescue Huang Chong and the others in the shortest possible time.
The amount of snow from the landslide was extremely staggering, completely covering the entire mountain road, and the progress was slow because the working face was too narrow to put in a lot of manpower to shovel the snow. Ah Jian and the others were working hard almost with all their strength, and every half a pillar of incense was rotated with three tall and strong pawns, and Ah Jian and the others who had retired were sweating profusely.
They had already done their best, and Liu Yin didn't say anything, just secretly prayed, hoping that Huang Chong would be safe and sound.
Huang Chongke is the person named by Liu Yin to ask Liu Chan, and now the army and Fu Tong call him Liu Yin's right-hand man, this Northern Expedition road has just gone half a section and will hang up a general, no matter what, Liu Yin can't accept it, so he wants to dig Huang Chong out of the snow at all costs.
What made Liu Yin feel relieved was that most of the soldiers rescued from the snow were not worried about their lives, which showed that there was still a certain amount of air in the snow for people to breathe, which undoubtedly increased Liu Yin's confidence.
However, the worse news is that several people have been dug out in a row, but Huang Chong has never been seen, and after asking these soldiers, he doesn't know where Huang Chong is, so Liu Yin's heart has been suspended at this moment.
Disaster relief and rescue is a matter of every second, the longer it is buried in the snow, the smaller the hope of survival, and the next few corpses that were dug out made Liu Yin's heart sink.
As the minutes ticked by, the hope was getting slimmer. (To be continued......)
