Chapter 16 The River Crossing Begins

The day is full of dark clouds, the rain is continuous, the night is thunderstorms, the wind is howling, just two days, this rainy season, has made the water of this Weihe River rise rapidly a foot high, and even forced Gu Xuan and others on the bank to move the tents built earlier back a hundred steps.

In the past two days, they not only tirelessly ran around to cut down trees and secretly make rafts for crossing the river, but also forcibly dragged a lot of private fishing boats from the surrounding patriotic villages, a total of twenty or thirty, but because they were only used by ordinary people to go down to the river to fish, the maximum was only to allow four or five people to sit down together, and if there were more, the boat would sink because the draft was too deep.

On the night of the third day, lightning and thunder continued overhead, and the rain kept falling, and the river began to become more and more turbulent and high, and the whole tree could often be seen, and the roots were mixed with a little mud, and the river carried them together, and smashed down from the upstream.

Once the people above can't dodge and fall into the river, it is basically a dead word, and as for the hidden threat, it comes from the invisible undercurrent vortex everywhere and the raging and terrible wave itself.

Because the Rakshasa people have lived in the desert for a long time, they have never gone down to the river to swim in their lives, and there is no way to hurry up the drill in this situation at the moment, they are just going directly into battle, once they are in the water, shaking back and forth, it is extremely difficult for the people above to grasp the balance, at most they can only say that they are powerful warriors, and their own basic physical qualities and reaction capabilities are far beyond ordinary people, but for the matter of crossing the river, it is also useless, and it does not improve the probability of survival, it is completely dependent on luck.

Because the weather began to become more and more bad, Wei Chi Lide could not be said to have completely relaxed his vigilance these days, but it was during the day when the wind and rain were getting smaller, he would take people to patrol a little, and he would go back to the camp directly after one or two trips, which was very important, because he relied on his own experience to conclude that the other party would never succeed in crossing the river at night, or that the other party would not dare to take such a big risk to forcibly cross the river, because one is not good, maybe they don't need to do it, and the other party will be wiped out because of this, who dares to take such a risk。

What's more, it's not that he doesn't want to stare at it all day, it's just that these Imperial City Janissaries, on weekdays, are bullying and dominating the market, showing off their might, and pampering them for a long time, in a hurry, you use a high reward as a reward, encourage them, and let them temporarily go to the battlefield to work hard, but if they want them to learn from those border troops who can really bear hardships and stand hard work, they honestly patrol in the rainy night according to the instructions, they don't want to, especially when it's dark at night, and the moon is covered with dark clouds?

And the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Jin and Shu are fundamentally different from the Nova Empire that has just reached the third generation of Da Liang, the Imperial City Guards of these Three Kingdoms are mostly composed of the noble children of the capital, this is because of the emperor's trust in them, and the second is because this Praetorian Guard is actually a capable

is close to the emperor, it is easy to show his face, and the salary is very high every day, so even if Wei Chi Lide personally comes to rectify it, there is no good way to take these noble children.

The defense of the country has lasted for hundreds of years, and the internal forces are intertwined, and it is common for them to intermarry, who can be ruthless and forcibly enforce military law against them, anyway, he Chi Lide can't do it, because he himself is also from a family.

Since it is impossible for the enemy to cross the river at night, there is no need to offend these second ancestors for these reasons, and it is actually enough to arrange manpower as defense in key places.

But he would never have thought of it, or even if he did, he could only turn a blind eye, and there was no way to verify that even if it was such an easy job, these second ancestors would still be lazy behind his back.

--------------

It was still the same dark night of wind and rain, lightning and thunder, but tonight was different, because on the banks of the river, a whole thousand people were ready to cross the river!

After having this kind of good thing, the Rakshasa people looked at the black water in front of them, listening to the sound of the waves that kept going, even if they were still a little worried in their hearts, but they were also a lot more energetic, at least, there was not a single retreater.

It's just that they never know that at this time, if they really fall into the water, this thing can only be said to be better than nothing, and the real effect it can produce is not big, but people, don't they just need a little encouragement?

I saw that Gu Xuan did not wear the armor that would get in the way in the water this time, but rolled up the clothes of his limbs like a farmer, tied the iron-like treasure knife to his body, and stood alone at the forefront, making the final mobilization to everyone, and for these Rakshasa clans who have bad brains, his words have always been so simple and clear.

"The other kings don't say much, in short, whether it's this time, or every time in the future, this king will walk ahead of you!"

Needless to say, it's just a waste of time and a waste of fighting spirit, when your subordinates are enough to convince you, as long as you ensure that you take the lead every time, that is the best incentive for your subordinates!

No matter how dangerous it is, what are you afraid of, anyway, the prince is in front of us!

With Gu Xuan's order, the entire team of six thousand people was like a clockwork machine, and it started quickly according to the plan, but saw that the Rakshasa warriors kept the rhythm of four to five people carrying a small boat and ten people carrying a big raft, facing the cold wind blowing in their faces and the cold and biting rain hitting their bodies, striding forward.

This is all they can do in a hurry these days, and the other 14,000 people and war horses, there is no extra raft to give them, and they are too tired to participate, as the last 5,000 people who are determined to participate in the crossing of the river and carry out a surprise attack, these days do not have to work, they have been recuperating, waiting for today.

Gu Xuan, as he had promised, carried the raft and walked in stride at the front, cooperating with the shack and others around him to quickly groundwater the raft, and the people in front hurriedly stretched out their hands to hold it, and their feet stepped into the mud and sand, and they chiseled it in like nails, moving

Still, so that the raft would not be immediately washed away by the river, and the people behind ran up in turn.

The sound of the thunder and the rain, the bleak night, was in fact their best cover, and the raft made of hemp rope and rattan together set off a small wave as soon as it burst into the water, and the noise was not great.

After reaching the raft, the warriors from the Rakshasa clan did not even dare to stand, because they could not grasp their balance at all, and could only tremble and lie on it like dogs, holding their weapons one by one to prevent it from being washed away, their faces were so pale that they could not even cover the original pitch-black skin, and their bodies rose and fell with the waves, trying not to let themselves fall.

And Gu Xuan stood in the middle of the raft, completely relying on his feet and waist to control the balance, keeping the raft from overturning, Rao is he did his best, but the soldiers lying on it were still not safe, because as long as they didn't pay attention to it, they would immediately be thrown down by the waves, so they all clasped the wood on the side and gritted their teeth and insisted.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a sudden white wave surging upstream, and it was obvious that the accumulated tide had gathered, and the next moment, I saw a few logs running along with the waves, and then smashed down in this direction.

Being in the middle of the water with no direction at all, they were completely resigned to fate, how could they dodge, and in the end they could only watch the wood that needed to be surrounded by two people collide with each other, all with their mouths open, staring at their eyes, but they couldn't make a sound in their throats, of course, even if they shouted, unless hundreds of people roared together, it was impossible to break through the curtain of natural thunder and alarm the people above.

"Bang!"

I only heard a loud noise, the branches of the big tree and the raft collided fiercely, the huge impact force, instantly knocked over a raft that had just flown up with the wave, and the dozen or so Rakshasa warriors above were caught off guard, and fell into the water in an instant, and a few people with good talent could still get out from underneath, wailing and asking for help from the people around them, but the others, as soon as they fell into the water, they were swallowed by the river and never disappeared again.

People who don't know the nature of water, once they don't react, they go into the water, they don't even know the basic struggle, they just wave their limbs indiscriminately, waste their physical strength, and try in vain to lift their heads to the surface of the water and breathe the air, but because of choking on water, they will only subconsciously be more panicked, and this is still the case when the river is calm on weekdays, not to mention that when it is so terrible, these seemingly strong people fall into the water, and the chances of survival are not higher than the chances of a mouse falling into it and surviving.

The raft was less stable, and the people in the boat were slightly luckier because the boats were more balanced, and they only had to lie on it, endure the rain and the cold of the river, and then splash the poured water out in time.

But there were also many small boats because they were smashed into a big hole, and they didn't feel anything at first, but after a few clicks, they quickly sank into the river with the five warriors on it.

I promise this is my last trip this year and I'll be back tomorrow for a good update.
