Chapter 60: Breaking the Bridge with a Sword
(Recommended votes, please vote, thank you comrades!)
If it weren't for the shining smoke rising from time to time in the air, Zhao Tiedan would have thought that this was a trip to the mountains and rivers.
What kind of werewolf? From last night to this morning, I haven't seen a single shadow, and I've seen a lot of wild wolves and tarantulas. The journey was so peaceful that in the early hours of the morning, after the forced march, he and his recruits even slept peacefully for two hours. As the captain, Zhu Xiaoqi decisively carried forward the spirit of sacrifice and took the initiative to stand guard for everyone, but when they woke up, they found that someone was sleeping like a dead pig and drooling all over the ground. If the hell werewolves attack, it's probably a pot. But when someone woke up, he said proudly in the face of everyone's eyes: "You are all comfortable sleeping! Lao Tzu is really clever, and the night is safe." ”
Through the forests, the group entered the depths of the Cangyue Mountain Range. After climbing over a few mountains, Zhu Xiaoqi ordered to rest.
Hou Xiaoshan carried Zhu Xiaoqi's crossbow arrows and went hunting with two recruits in a hurry. Along the way, as an "excellent" shooter, he was already too greedy to see that Seventh Brother easily shot down one prey after another with the magical weapon in his hand.
"Iron Guts, give me the map. Zhu Xiaoqi sat on a rock and beckoned to Zhao Tiedan.
"Seventh brother, did the werewolves forget about us, or did we take the wrong route?" Zhao Tietang asked in confusion as he spread out the map.
"Are you insulting the IQ of the Guards Battalion, or are you insulting my IQ?" Zhu Xiaoqi snorted, his gaze wandering over the map. Finally, his eyes locked on a bridge. According to their current marching route, it was a necessary way out of the mountain. After passing the bridge in Guò, a few miles further on, you will enter the second area of the exercise.
"You see that everywhere is hot, and there is a lot of excitement in the sky. But why is there no movement on our side at all?" Zhao Tie asked with a frown.
Zhu Xiaoqi smiled and pointed to the bridge on the map: "Look here." Think about it, jumping up and down in the dark and damp woods, chasing a group of recruits like rabbits, how can you sleep soundly and then wait for the prey to be sent to the door and easily catch them all?"
"Are you saying that werewolves will ambush us here on this bridge?"
"If it were me, I would. Zhu Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Zhao Tie was disapproving: "Then let's go around?"
"Pig brain, the map is in vain. Zhu Xiaoqi sighed lightly, "This river flows eastward, and both sides of the river are full of cliffs, can you show me?"
Zhao Tie leaned down and looked at it carefully.
"Damn, I've got a headache right now. As long as they get stuck on the bridge, we really can't do anything about it. He looked up and said with a bitter face.
"There are still solutions. Zhu Xiaoqi whispered in his ear for a while. With that, he handed him his kitchen knife.
"Brothers, follow me!" Zhao Tie Dan beckoned to a few recruits.
After a while, Hou Xiaoshan and the others returned to the resting place with a few hares.
"Seventh brother, what's the matter, or did you chop it and eat it raw?" he asked, shaking the rabbit in his hand.
"No, it's baked and eaten. Zhu Xiaoqi replied.
"Seventh brother, are you sure you want me to make a fire to make a barbecue?"
"Well, let's roast. It's time to inform the werewolves that we're coming. Zhu Xiaoqi nodded affirmatively.
When the barbecue was cooked, Zhao Tieqian and the others came back, each carrying a simple shield in their hands.
"Seventh brother, it's all done. ”
"Come here, eat while it's hot, eat it and go on your way. Zhu Xiaoqi beckoned everyone to sit by the fire.
At the head of the Lanfeng Bridge, a werewolf officer chewed dry food, looking at the smoke rising from the forest in the distance, his brows furrowed.
On the other side of the rope bridge, a werewolf ran quickly.
"Report to the platoon leader, those boys are actually eating barbecue. He licked his lips and said depressedly. The few steaming hares on the fire obviously impressed him.
"Barbecue?" The werewolf officer's mouth suddenly became astringent and dry, making it difficult for him to swallow. As the platoon commander of the Guards Battalion, he was ordered to participate in the exercise, where he slept and chewed dry food, while his opponent, the group of recruits, actually ate a barbecue under his nose.
If you don't die, you won't die. You hateful recruits, I have to let you taste the pleasure of three swords and six holes!
"Platoon commander, shall we rush over and kill them?" the soldier missed the fragrant roast rabbits very much, and he thought that if he had done it quickly, he might be able to catch two.
"They blatantly lit a fire to tell us that they were coming. I heard that there are two pretty good boys in this team, and if we fight them, maybe they can take advantage of the chaos to escape. The officer shook his head, "Just stay here, I want to see how they fly over!"
At dusk, Zhu Xiaoqi led the team to the bridgehead. Without any fancy, he rushed across the bridge with a few recruits carrying wooden shields.
"It's a bit level, and I didn't expect us to be ambushed here. The officer sneered and raised his hand. The soldiers beside him, in unison, bent their bows and arrows, aimed at the recruits on the rope bridge.
Since you are carrying a shield, Lao Tzu will shoot you to death. The officer waved his hand decisively. Arrows rained down, and all shields rang out. There were a few arrows with great power, and they shocked the two recruits to retreat several steps before they could stabilize their figures.
"Awesome!" Zhu Xiaoqi felt the powerful power coming from the shield, and sighed secretly in his heart. The rope bridge of more than 400 meters, he and the recruits had just walked halfway through it, and they were bombarded by a rain of arrows. The officers and men of these guards battalions are not only well-equipped, but also have amazing arm strength and excellent marksmanship. If you want to pass the bridge to Guò, it is really difficult to climb to the sky.
"Withdraw!" Zhu Xiaoqi decisively gave the order to retreat.
It was getting dark. Zhu Xiaoqi summoned Hou Xiaoshan to his side and whispered in a whisper.
After listening to this, Hou Xiaoshan's face was as earth-colored.
"Seventh brother, I can't do this!" he shook his head violently. This demon-like seventh brother, why do you want to go to hell, why do you have to pull me on my back?
"Seventh brother, if you can't let me go!" Zhao Tie couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to ask.
"He had to do it. Zhu Xiaoqi shook his head and turned to Hou Xiaoshan, his expression was cold, "This is the battlefield, you must obey military orders." Be a coward or a warrior, the choice is yours!"
Hou Xiaoshan looked at the river, and then looked at the rope bridge. The rushing river and the swaying rope bridge make my heart feel cold. If there is any fault with this Nima, it is estimated that the fish will have to be fed. However, the military order is like a mountain, as a soldier, even if he dies at this time, he must go up, otherwise, it is called a deserter, not to mention how Zhu Xiaoqi will clean him up, even he will leave an eternal shadow in his heart.
No, I definitely don't want to be a deserter, I want to leave a glorious chapter in my military career, I want to change my own destiny, I want to change the fate of my family. I was a coward once, and I'm going to lose her forever in the near future, am I going to be a coward for the rest of my life?
"I'll go!" Hou Xiaoshan's mood slowly calmed down, and his expression returned to normal.
"Brother Qi, please lend me your weapon, so that the hope of success is greater. He looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, and there was a faint brilliance on his face.
Boy, get into the state early, good thing. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled and handed over the crossbow arrow in his hand.
"What are they going to do?" the werewolf officer's eyes widened as he looked at the group of recruits gathered at the opposite bridge, his heart full of confusion.
"I guess I'm thinking about rushing again!" said a werewolf soldier beside him.
"It's not easy for these recruits, it's too much. Tell everyone to be careful and don't kill people. The officer sighed softly. With this group of people, wanting to pass through the bridge they guarded is really like a fool's dream.
"Lao Tzu let you guard, hahaha!" On the other side, an arrogant voice came, which unexpectedly covered the sound of the river and clearly entered the ears of the werewolves.
"You guys play slowly, Lao Tzu won't accompany you anymore!" followed the sound and looked at a slightly chubby soldier, brandishing a kitchen knife as if crazy, jumping and jumping and yelling.
Immediately after, the kitchen knife in his hand lit up with a dazzling yellow light. The recruit's arm jerked, and a sword slashed down towards the rope bridge.
"Boom!" The extremely strong rope bridge broke off in an instant and fell straight down the river.
With a loud bang, the broken rope bridge made a splash on the river, and after the speed slowed down, it floated on the river surface under the support of the central pier.
Looking at the rope bridge, which was only half left, the officer froze. Is this kid crazy? Why do you want to destroy the bridge if you don't do it? Do you know that after you destroy the bridge, the military department will have to pay for rebuilding it? After you quit the exercise, it is estimated that you will have to be punished for destroying state property, so why bother with this?
"Isn't it too cold for me to force them like this, but it looks like the mission should be over!" he thought leisurely.
"Platoon commander, the situation is not right, they are putting wooden platoons into the river!" a sharp-eyed soldier said loudly, pointing to the opposite bank.
The officer looked over. Sure enough, a group of recruits carried a wooden raft and tied it with a few rattan sticks and slowly descended into the river. Finally, they tied the rattan to the bridge, and then brought a wooden raft and released it into the river.
"Hell, these recruits are too cunning, bring me the map!" yelled the officer.
The map was unfolded, and I looked carefully at the only suitable place for landing within 100 miles of the left bank of the river, which was the bluestone beach fifteen miles away. After passing this 100 miles, they left the area of the exercise.
"They can only go ashore here. The officer's fist slammed on the map, "Tell everyone to assemble, leave one person here to guard the supplies, and the others, after they set off, march with me to Bluestone Beach!"
After dark, two wooden rafts went down the river. The officer looked at it with great eyes, and the figure on the wooden platoon was faint, and the sword shimmered.
"Let's go!" he led his troops and hurried towards the bluestone beach.
