Chapter 18: Surprise Soldiers from the Sky (Part II)
This side of the mountain wall on the way to them is carved by the power of heaven and earth, so in the final analysis, it is very different from the city wall made by man, although it is towering, although it is more indestructible, but its surface is not very smooth and flat, there are many protruding or sunken places for people to climb with strength, plus there is a rope thrown up in advance, the warriors of the Rakshasa tribe did not say a word, when they arrived at the place, rested for a while, and after breathing a sigh of relief, they began to withstand the heavy rain pouring overhead, using their hands and feet together, grasping any place above that could be borrowed, like a big spider climbing up quickly.
At this time, no matter how much movement they make underneath, in fact, there is no need to worry about being discovered, not to mention that in this extremely bad weather, no one will be in the woods overhead, drenched in the rain to guard this situation, even if there is, unless he can run to the edge of the cliff to look down, otherwise the rain, thunder and wind around the non-stop are the best cover, and who will run to the edge of the cliff in the rain in the middle of the night to look down, one accidentally falls by himself, so even the most dedicated guards in the world can't do it。
In addition, with the arrival of such a huge rainy season, the river level continued to rise, which caused them to take the raft to their destination, and they were relatively close to the top of the cliff, which was one of the reasons why Lan Yunxuan would propose to forcibly cross the river at such a time and in this kind of weather.
There are two sides to everything, to be viewed dialectically, as long as you are good at using it, many times, adversity is also a good situation, without this wind and rain, thunder rumbling, Wei Chi Lide will inevitably arrange people to stay on the cliff all night, always monitor the situation here, to prevent them from secretly crossing the river, and without this dark clouds rolling, the night is permeated, they will inevitably be found when crossing the river, and the loss at that time may be greater than now.
At the bottom of the cliff, Gu Xuan still stayed on the small platform that protruded and could only accommodate one person to stand reluctantly, holding a three-zhang long bamboo pole weighing dozens of catties in his hand, and after repeated actions, he helped dozens of rafts arrive smoothly, avoiding the fate of directly hitting the cliff and destroying people, even he, in this case, felt a little weak, his arms were as heavy as lead at this time, and every time he lifted it, he had to exert all his strength.
Think about it seriously, a raft can probably carry about a dozen people, plus with the impact of the waves surging towards this side, it has the power of a thousand pounds, but he has to use his own strength, and it is from such a distance, relying on a bamboo pole to stop the other party, and he can't use all his strength, he can only use a skill, which is more physically and mentally depleted.
History is not without him like him, with a natural power of the people, there have been records, the former general, one person and one gun, standing at the foot of the mountain, in order to protect the safety of the team behind him, holding a gun to pick thirteen with the size of a chariot, at least thousands of pounds of rolling stones, and finally followed by the fourteenth falling stone directly smashed into a pulp, thousands of years ago, there was an emperor in the atrium, self-proclaimed as a god of heaven, unparalleled strength, insisted on competing with people to carry the tripod, and finally exhausted, directly smashed the vertebrae by the copper tripod that fell.
The power of heaven is infinite, and when manpower is eventually poor, many times, you must know your limit, when you shouldn't be able to do it, you must not force it, that is not good for yourself and others, and Gu Xuan is also a living person, not a god in the sky, he is naturally exhausted, but his tiredness, the most direct impact is that the speed of his shot slows down, although the people on the raft themselves actually have a lot of means to slow down, but there will still be people who fail to react, or say that they do, but it has no effect, just in vain。
"Bang!"
Gu Xuan watched as a ship that had just crossed the river and rushed through all odds and dangers, heading towards this side
The raft that came over was derailed by a sudden wave, and he failed to use the bamboo pole in his hand to help them set things right in time, resulting in it not being able to enter the port smoothly, but directly hit the mountain wall in front of it.
The next moment, the raft turned over directly, and the people on it were caught off guard, all of them were lifted into the cold water like dumplings, they couldn't swim, they could only use their limbs together, splashing, stretching their hands and heads out of the river as much as they could, drinking the river water, while wailing and calling for help, but then they saw the whirlpool rolling, seven or eight people were spinning, and they had disappeared in a few clicks, and after a few breaths, they also resurfaced, but he had already appeared on the river more than ten meters away, Gu Xuan was helpless, and could only watch him drift downstream, this timeIf he can't hold anything that can support him to stay on the water, then his chances of survival are not very good.
Gu Xuan has tried his best, no matter how much he wants to save these people, there is nothing else he can do, those who fall into the river, he can't save them at all, he can only pray for them silently in his heart, in the end, he asked them to come together, in the end, he took them on this desperate road of nine deaths and lives, he has no reason not to feel guilty, because he is not a real iron-blooded emperor, but these feelings, these fragility, he did not show them directly on his face, those Rakshasa people looked at him, they would only feel at ease, as if they had seen a bright light in the dark night, and they would involuntarily move closer to it。
As long as the boss is not chaotic, the whole team cannot be chaotic, as long as the coach can remain calm and calm, no matter how big the difficulty, they will not be afraid, this is the role of a leader with enough authority for the whole team, Gu Xuan is the soul of this team, as long as he does things under his hands, then there is no need to think too much, just obey is enough, this is what really supports the courage of these Rakshasa people to challenge nature, challenge themselves, and challenge the undoable, rather than a simple order.
There is no time to wipe the rain on his face, of course, even if he wipes it now, he will get wet again later, but Gu Xuan's hair is already messy, and there are a few strands on his forehead, which has blocked his vision, and he has a free hand to pull aside the hair that is in the way, and at the same time, he also exhales a mouthful of turbidity that has been held for a long time.
Because of the cold carried by the rain into the body, and the lower body has been in this position for a long time, he actually felt a little numb, taking advantage of this opportunity, he also quickly moved a little, and changed a breath of air full of moist rain, after giving birth to new strength, he quickly stretched out the bamboo pole in his hand again, at the same time, a person who was struggling in the water completely subconsciously hugged it tightly with his limbs, Gu Xuan gritted his teeth, the muscles of his arm trembled, and with all his strength, he directly picked it up from the water, and this unlucky guy who accidentally fell into the water was directly thrown by him onto a raft that was no longer empty。
The latter was in the air, and he didn't want to let go of this life-saving bamboo pole, but he was shaken by Gu Xuan, and he still fell on the raft all of a sudden, smashing the entire raft and almost capsizing again, he just choked a lot of water, and was soaked in the cold and biting river water for a while, plus the cold wind blew, at this time half of his body was numb, and he was so cold that he couldn't stand up at all, so he could only kneel on it, coughing constantly, spitting out the dirty water in his stomach, a good tall man, he couldn't help but shed tears, but at this time, no one looked at it, and at the same time, he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears。
At the same time, the first people to arrive at this natural "little port" have now successfully climbed to the top of the hill at the end of the mountain.
Sack wiped a handful of water from his face and shook his head gently, his mouth open, panting, he was about to get tired, but he couldn't rest yet, because he still needed to continue to help others.
He first stood on the top and observed the situation around him a little, but did not have time to go
Considering whether there is a possibility of the enemy nearby, in their current situation, someone is ambushed, that is the end of the total annihilation, don't even think about other possibilities, so there is no need to worry about that situation, he searched for a while, and soon found a big tree that needs to be surrounded by two people, and then tied his waist and the body of the tree with a wet rope soaked with river rainwater, and then quickly dragged the rope to the edge of the cliff, lay on it, and began to tie hands and pull the others up quickly.
On this cliff with a vertical height of more than 20 zhang, you can see a small black dot, which is struggling to climb up from the bottom, endlessly, without stopping, and the people are surging to see it, and they can't help but cheer for them, which is a wonderful feeling of honor that arises when witnessing the kind of people can defeat the powerful enemy of nature.
Ke Rao has reached the last hurdle of the river crossing plan, and there are still people who have not been able to reach the summit in the end, they fall from the high cliff, some because their feet are slippery, or their hands are not steady, and some are because they are too tired, because of a moment of weakness and helplessly fall, even if they just look at it like this, its heroism is by no means easier than ordinary siege warfare, and even onlookers are worried.
They don't have any protection, they don't get much help from others, they rely entirely on their own strength to conquer difficulties, and once they fail, their end is death, how can such warriors not be admired, how can they not be admired?
Pity these 5,000 people, just to cross the David River, which is a mile wide, has lost more than half of it in the middle, and when they successfully reach the bottom of the mountain, leave the raft, and begin to climb along the route explored by their predecessors, and finally climb to the top of the mountain, and then count the number of people, but there are only a few 1,300 people left, it can be seen how dangerous it is to cross the river in this weather, and to have the current results, it is all thanks to God's mercy, otherwise it would never be possible for so many people to successfully land on the shore.
During the whole process of going up the mountain, Gu Xuan was the most agile and looked the most relaxed, but in fact, he was the most tired and tired person.
After finding that there was no follow-up person to follow, he had directly thrown the dozens of pounds of big bamboo pole in his hand into the water, and the whole person sat next to a big stone on the edge of the cliff, hanging his head, holding two naan cakes that had been soaked in the rain in his hand, mixed together, and he couldn't see each other's naan, swallowing little by little.
Think about it, the fifth prince of the Daliang Empire, even if he has a bad time, when he was in the palace in the past, he was also dressed in brocade and jade, and his clothes were old, and he was also a good fox fur, and his life was a little harder, but he could also go to the restaurant every day to order a table of dishes and pour himself a drink, so the so-called bitterness is relative to people who are better than him, in fact, compared to the real people at the bottom, he is not very bitter.
Even if he came to Huangsha County, at least good things were given priority to him, in that kind of hot place on the border, he could still eat fresh vegetables and fruits from time to time, which was unimaginable to ordinary people, but Gu Xuan's advantage lies in this, he can not only eat jade plate delicacies, but also swallow coarse bran wild vegetables, especially at this time, he will never dislike it.
The feeling of the naan soaked in the rain was no different from chewing his own shoes, but he ate it with relish, because he knew that he needed this thing to replenish the physical strength he had just consumed, and not only him, but everyone else was too, silently and quickly chewing the food in their hands, except for the sound of chewing, there were occasionally other sounds, that is, they were passing each other the horse jerky.
The horse meat is slightly sour, the taste is not good, and there is no seasoning to help with eating, but it is enough to satisfy hunger and replenish energy, and besides, they must do it, because climbing this mountain is not the end, and the next thing is just the beginning.
