The river is so turbulent that only those who are in the river can appreciate the power of the river.

The warriors in the south who know how to water are okay, they know how to work hard, and they can consume their physical strength as little as possible, but those warriors in the north, many of them do not know water, they have only received simple imitation training before crossing the river, and they have not felt anything during the training, but when they really go to the river, there is only one rope that can be forced, and the feet are empty and bottomless.

It's a terrifying feeling, especially in the dark.

After the rainstorm, the clouds cleared and the moon poked its head out, bringing a little light to the great river.

Seeing the light in the darkness added a sense of comfort and courage to the soldiers who were crossing the river.

Just now, because of the heavy rain, a lot of time was delayed, so the company commanders of each company began to urge their soldiers to hurry up.

The Fifth Company was a knife company of the Third Regiment, and there were more guns and ammunition than the others, so they were assigned to a ferry boat after the rainstorm to transport weapons and ammunition.

After getting the boat, the company commander Luo Jiayu immediately instructed the soldiers to load all the remaining ammunition onto the ship.

After counting the remaining number of people who had not crossed the river, he loaded a dozen young and waterless warriors into the boat, while he himself held on to the side of the boat and went into the water with the rest of the warriors.

Perhaps because of the urgency, the number of people crossing the river in the fifth company this time was a bit large, and the equipment on the ferry made the rope far beyond the limit.

Under the moonlight, the rope responsible for the lifeline of the Fifth Company has been crumbling tightly, and there are many places that have begun to show signs of cracking, but none of the soldiers have noticed this problem.

The river seemed to rise again, and the undercurrent became much more turbulent, and the warriors felt as if their hands could not grasp the ropes in their hands at this moment.

The fact that they couldn't catch it didn't mean that the fighters had little strength, because in the turbulent river, the whole body had to face the current, even if it was only for a few minutes, it would take a lot of physical strength, and the river was cold, and some extra heat had to be paid to maintain body temperature.

Luo Jiayu is average, in the face of the turbulent river, he did not be strong, but tightly grasped the side of the boat and slowly moved to the position where the bow was tied with a rope.

As a company commander, he didn't want to stay at the back of the line, he had to go to the bow of the ship to take a look, ready to deal with emergencies. But before he could move to the bow of the boat, he felt that the ferry in his hand had shifted, and then began to spin.

Not good!

It's the ferry out of control!

Could it be that the rope that pulls the boat is broken?

When Luo Jiayu thought of this, his heart sank instantly.

The current position is exactly the center of the river, where the current is most turbulent, and their fifth company is ranked fourth in order from upstream to downstream, which means that the rope break will affect not only them, but also the other two companies downstream that are crossing the river.

As an authentic northerner, he didn't know how to operate the boat at all, and now he could only watch the ferry spin and drift downstream.

"In the water, everyone hold on to the rope and don't let go! Don't move around the people on board! The steerman is steady, and must not let the ship spin again. In a hurry, Luo Jiayu could only give an order by feeling.

By this time, the rain had stopped, and his voice was so loud that the soldiers around him could hear it clearly.

But even so, there were many fighters who were swept away by the current because they did not hold on to the rope and disappeared into the dark river in the blink of an eye.

"Company commander, the rudder doesn't move! It seems to be stuck in something! "In the distance, the voice of a warrior was heard from the ferry, which was drifting downstream. Unfortunately, the sound was not loud, because the ship was already drifting far away at the moment.

"Check it out in the water! Be quick, hurry up and solve it, and definitely not affect the comrades downstream! ”

Luo Jiayu shouted while stepping on the water, but as soon as he finished shouting, he felt as if there was a strange force under the water that was dragging him to pull him away, no matter how his legs swung he couldn't resist the underwater force.

The underwater force was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt more resistance to swinging his legs.

Continuing to tread the water, he stared around with his eyes wide to see how the other warriors were doing, but there were many warriors around, but now he couldn't see any of them.

Things happened too fast, from the rope that pulled the boat to the moment it was only a minute or two, and in this short period of time, Luo Jiayu had been displaced by the river.

Seeing that there was no one around, Luo Jiayu was a little flustered in his heart, and when his feet were relaxed, he sank,

But after three or four seconds, he floated up again, coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of water, looked around again, and found that he had changed positions again.

"Anyone?"

Luo Jiayu shouted, but this time he didn't dare to shout loudly, because their crossing of the river was to be carried out in secret, and it must not be exposed.

No one answered, and only the sound of rushing water could be heard on the wide river.

He shouted twice, but still no one answered.

At this moment, Luo Jiayu felt that he was the only one floating in the river alone between the vast world and the world.

A faint fear hit my heart.

I wiped the water on my face with my hand, shook my head again, dispelled the messy thoughts in my mind, and began to think about what to do next.

First of all, to go ashore.

Whether it's the south bank or the north bank, you have to land first to solve the problem.

After the rainstorm, although the dark clouds dispersed and the moonlight first appeared, the sky at this moment was still blocked by a layer of clouds and mist, and it was impossible for Luo Jiayu to identify the direction through the stars, but he also had his own method, which was to swim along the current, with the north shore on the left and the south bank on the right.

Their fifth company was from the south bank, aiming at the north bank.

By the time he got aboard, all but two of the men on the south bank had already begun to cross the river, so he decided to swim to the north bank, and if it went well, he thought he would be able to reach the north bank in a few minutes.

There are many comrades on the north shore, and troops should be found soon.

As for the comrades who were swept away by the current because the rope broke, Luo Jiayu could only pray for them in his heart, praying that they could hold on until they went ashore.

After having an idea, Luo Jiayu used all his strength and began to swim vigorously along the water to the left.

Luo Jiayu has average water nature, swimming skills are also average, and it is okay to swim in a calm small lake, but he is unable to face the turbulent Futuo River at the moment.

Darkness obscures the sense of time.

Luo Jiayu swam and swam with his feelings, and he didn't know how long he had been swimming, when he suddenly felt a strong suction force coming from under him, and then his body fell to the bottom of the river without obeying the call (end of this chapter)
