Chapter 1201: A Hidden Passage
"Commander, there is an old man outside who said that he wanted to see you, and that there was a way to cross the river."
A guard came to Chen Qingzhi and said with a smile on his face, obviously, he should have a good impression of the old man!
Can you cross the river?
Chen Qingzhi was slightly stunned, to be honest, he wanted to cross the river, but he was afraid that this was already something that everyone knew, but how could an old man come to him?
Of course, Chen Qingzhi did not hesitate, but immediately said: "Invite him in...... Forget it, I'd better go out and meet it myself! ”
Let's not talk about the way to cross the river if people really cross the river, just because the person who came is an old man, it is worth Chen Qingzhi to greet him personally!
Following the guard, Chen Qingzhi walked quickly to the outside of the barracks.
Sure enough, at this time, there was an old man standing at the door with the support of a young girl!
Looking at the old man's age, he was about fifty, but because of the perennial pressure, he was already a little hunchbacked, and even if he stood there, it was like he was about to fall down at any time!
Chen Qingzhi walked over quickly, with a smile on his face: "Old man, hello, I am Chen Qingzhi, my soldiers said that you have a way to cross the river, is this true?" ”
The girl next to the old man stared at Chen Qingzhi with shining eyes, of course, Chen Qingzhi was used to this kind of gaze, because of the domestic hype, he was now a famous hero.
Not only is it a great influence among the soldiers, but even among the people, it is a big hero that everyone admires!
Now the storyteller in the teahouse, if he can't tell two things about Chen Qingzhi, there is simply no way to mix in the teahouse!
Of course, Chen Qingzhi didn't pay attention to the girl's gaze, but kept looking at the old man in front of him, since the old man said that there was a way to cross the river, then there must be one, otherwise, he couldn't come to find himself!
The old man raised his head slightly, looked at Chen Qingzhi with a smile, and then said, "Not bad, not bad, really a good young man!" Sir, old man, I do know a trail, but you don't expect to be able to pass by many people, even if you are lucky, you can pass dozens of people in one night! ”
The old man didn't waste time, and he opened his mouth to say what Chen Qingzhi wanted to know most.
Chen Qingzhi's brows furrowed slightly, can dozens of people pass?
So it's definitely enough for the independent regiment, but the key thing is, how does this old man know?
Chen Qingzhi didn't suspect this old man, just because he sent tens of thousands of people to look for a way that he couldn't find for so long, but he didn't expect this old man to be able to solve it, so Chen Qingzhi would inevitably have doubts in his heart!
may have seen Chen Qingzhi's doubts.
Or maybe the old man is just stuck in memory.
So at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said: "That road, I walked it once when I was a child, and then I never walked it again, but I know that it can always be passed."
It seems that the turbulent river, who knows, in the most urgent place, is a way to live!
At that time, my father was still a caravan, and there was no bridge here, he didn't take the white road, and the things he transported were not visible, and it was obviously not possible to take a boat, so he took the road of the caravan!
Although that road is very dangerous to walk, and it is very likely that if you are unlucky, you will be washed away with people and goods, but after all, it is a way to survive......"
The old man said intermittently, obviously, it was not so much that he was introducing Chen Qingzhi to that road, but that he was reminiscing about his own affairs!
But through his words, Chen Qingzhi generally understood that the road in the old man's mouth was a black road of nine deaths and one life, and it was used by the horse gang to smuggle some prohibited items before.
Later, the caravan was banned, and few people knew about this road!
You know, this old man still walked through it when he was a teenager, and it is conceivable that no one has walked that road in recent decades!
However, for Chen Qingzhi, even if he dies for life, even if there is a little chance, he must fight for it!
After knowing the location from the old man's mouth!
Chen Qingzhi personally came there with the guards!
Sure enough, as the old man said, on the surface, this place is simply a road to death!
In other places, although the river is wide, the current is at least not too fast, so if you have good water, you can swim through.
However, the devil has already made arrangements on the other side, and it is not that he has not sent people to test it before, but the people in the past were all discovered by the devil and then killed by the devil!
But this place is different, looking at the turbulent water on the river, and even the whirlpool that appears from time to time, even if you use a boat, I am afraid that you will not be able to get by!
Not to mention people swimming past!
But on the contrary, this is a way to live!
According to what the old man said, there are many stones on the riverbed here, so a whirlpool will be formed, and the water on the river is indeed very fast, but in fact, it is not very urgent under the water surface!
The reason, it seems, is that a long time ago, the country was controlled by the water, and a dam was built to try to divert the river, but unfortunately it failed!
But the levee remained at the bottom of the river.
Of course, this is only known to a small number of local elders, and it is only a legend!
Anyway, here's a road that can barely be passed!
However, it is not to swim over directly, but to choose a soldier with good water nature, to swim over, the whole process, according to the old man, if you come up and change more than ten breaths, then you will definitely die!
At the beginning, the people of the horse gang placed ropes in the river, so the danger was smaller, but even then it was nine deaths, let alone now!
After Chen Qingzhi knew the facts, he had no choice! Even if it's dangerous, he has to send someone to give it a try!
After looking at the river, Chen Qingzhi directly ordered the selection of a death squad with good water quality!
That's right, it's a death squad, let's not talk about the danger of the river!
Even if they succeed in getting through, the task they need to carry out is to find a way to get from the devil's position to the head of the drawbridge, and then control the drawbridge for at least ten minutes so that the soldiers on this side can pass!
If they fail, the devils will inevitably blow up the pontoon!
Then there is no chance that they will survive!
Of course, there is another option, which is to go to the boat!
But not only would it be more dangerous, but even if you take a few small boats, it won't be of much use!
After all, the target of the boat on the river is very large, and I am afraid that the boat that is captured can only be decoration!
Of course, Chen Qingzhi hopes that more people can join, but the review is also extremely strict!
The old man said that the river surface that is tens of meters wide can only surface ten times at most for ventilation!
If the water is not enough, then even if you have the guts, you will be sent to death if you go!
