Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 447: Chapter 192: Flooding Daliang! Zhao Feng: Power of Heaven and Earth—Can I Possess It in the Future?

Looking down from the city.

The sound of floodwaters crashing against the city walls seemed to make the entire fortress tremble.

”Why is there a flood?”

”Our Great Wei Capital hasn’t encountered a flood for decades.”

”Why now?”

”Can our tower hold back the flood?”

”Should we retreat?”

”Retreat?”

”That’s courting death.”

”Above says, without Your Majesty’s order, no one is to retreat. Those who retreat will be executed.”

”The Supervisory Army is watching from behind.”

”So what do we do?”

”If this tower gets swept away by the flood, we’re doomed...”

The Wei Army on the tower looked with terror at the raging floodwaters below, thinking of retreat but filled with fear about the Supervisory Army, not daring to think further.

But watching as the flood grew fiercer.

The trembling of the tower became more intense.

This made the Wei Army even more panic-stricken.

”The water level is rising.”

”Water has already invaded through the tower.”

”The tower might not hold.”

Time passed.

The trembling on the tower intensified, and for the Wei Army, it was like sitting on pins and needles, fearing the tower might collapse at any moment.

And at that moment.

Crack, crack.

Crack, crack.

A series of cracking sounds echoed.

The sturdy tower was being split apart by the flood, with more and more water seeping through the cracks, causing further collapse.

”Run, quickly run.”

”The tower can’t hold back the flood anymore.”

”Run quickly...”

At this moment.

The Wei Army on the tower could no longer bear it, shouting loudly and scrambling to retreat.

But as they moved almost simultaneously, it created a resonance unprecedented for people of that era.

Crack, crack.

Crack, crack.

Boom, boom, boom!!

A series of cracking and trembling sounds.

The tower, which Wei Wuji took a long time to reinforce, collapsed under the surging floodwaters as if it were nothing.

It collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Almost half of the tower fell at the same time.

”Ah... ah...”

”Help... Save me.”

”I can’t swim.”

”Help...”

”Ah...”

In an instant.

The entire area of the Wei Capital was filled with cries of agony and pleas for help.

Countless Wei soldiers were buried underwater by the collapsing walls, losing their vitality instantly.

Many Wei Soldiers struggled frantically in the water.

The scene in front of the Wei Capital was devastating.

Yet none of this caused much of a stir.

As the tower collapsed.

An endless flood surged forward, sweeping away countless Wei soldiers; in the face of nature’s power, human effort seemed so trivial at this moment.

The flood could devour everything in its path.

Countless houses collapsed in an instant; countless people in the city were swept away by the flood, some directly crushed to death by the falling buildings.

The hundreds of thousands of troops in the city had no power to resist the flood.

The lucky few could hold onto a piece of wood and float, but as the flood came, it submerged countless others.

The flood devours all.

Water and fire are merciless, perhaps this illustrates it best.

The city built by Wei Wuji now seemed like a giant urn, leaving no way out for anyone inside.

Perhaps.

Only when the flood fully spreads into the city and collapses the rear towers of this Wei Capital in Daliang will the flood recede.

Time passed!

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Until daylight faded and a whole night passed.

The next day at dawn.

The entire Wei Capital had been completely submerged by the flood, a century-old capital of Wei utterly reduced to ruins.

Where the flood had passed, there were nothing but broken walls and ruins, all houses collapsed, countless pieces of wood, countless rubble, countless beams, and countless corpses deprived of life by the flood floating in the city.

Looking at the water level within the city, it seemed it would take time to recede.

But all the defenses Wei Wuji meticulously arranged meant nothing against the flood.

And at this moment.

Before the Wei Capital.

Above the still raging river.

Countless rafts and flat boats came toward the Wei Capital.

On these rafts and flat boats stood Qin Soldiers holding bows and weapons.

”A hundred years of Wei Capital, now turned to ruins.”

”One strategy by the Shangjiangjun avoided the loss of tens of thousands at Wu’an Camp.”

Looking at the flood-filled Wei Capital, many Qin Soldiers on the rafts and boats were utterly shocked.

For them.

They were completely stunned.
