Chapter 20046 Crossing the swamp
Qunhao heard Lin Fengsheng's words, and couldn't help but be a little confused, so how to cross the swamp, everyone had already discussed it at the inn, because the swamp was very wide, and boats and bamboo rafts were impassable, so there was no ingenious countermeasure. It was agreed to force through the wooden pile road. Now the only road is blocked by the crocodiles, and everyone can't help but feel a little helpless.
Mei Ruoxueqi said: "Cousin, you asked everyone to cut down trees, did you want to use them to build rafts, didn't you say that rafts can't be rowed in the swamp?"
Qunhao also thought this in his heart, the water in the swamp was very shallow, and the buoyancy generated was simply not enough to carry the raft, let alone cross the river.
Lin Fengsheng smiled and said: "Everyone just do it, the trees taken are slender, two for each person, and I will explain the usage at that time." ”
The heroes immediately entered the forest, each chose a suitable tree, cut down and wiped out the branches and leaves with his blade, leaving a branch for each of the two trees. Lin Fengsheng and others also cut the wooden pole on their own. After a stick of incense, the group of heroes gathered on the edge of the swamp with two wooden poles in their hands, waiting for the leader of the alliance to send them.
The wooden poles in everyone's hands are different in thickness and length, some are as thin as arms, some are as thick as thighs, some are only as long as zhang, and some are about three zhang long. Lin Fengsheng couldn't help but shake his head and said: "There are only a few wooden poles that everyone has cut together, and everyone will know what kind of wooden poles are suitable for use when they look at my usage." ”
After saying that, he inserted one end of a two-zhang long wooden pole into the swamp, dragged the other wooden pole of about the same length diagonally, flew and grabbed the top of the wooden pole with the lower end submerged in the silt, and then inserted the other wooden pole into the swamp as well. Holding the upper ends of the two wooden poles with both hands, the body is supported high in the air, and the feet are about a foot above the water.
After only staying for a moment, he felt that the lower ends of the two wooden poles were sinking a little, and he hurriedly moved the weight of his body to the wooden pole in his left hand, lifted the other wooden pole with his right hand to the shaft, stretched forward obliquely and inserted it into the silt, and the wooden pole in his left hand was immediately raised. The two poles moved only once, and then they were a few feet away. The two wooden poles are like two long feet, and they take a step that is several times farther than the real step. From afar, it looks like a tall heron walking in shallow water.
Seeing this, Qunhao suddenly realized that being in the air could not only avoid the attack of the crocodiles, but also break the restriction that only one person could pass in turn on the wooden pile road, and the speed of crossing the swamp would be greatly accelerated. There was thunder of joy for a while.
Lin Fengsheng walked forward a few feet further, and when he heard the thieves on the other side of the river, there was an uproar, and then he saw countless black spots coming towards him. but the thief shot him with arrows. Because of the distance, and the thieves' archers did not have any natural powers, the arrows fell before they were far away from him.
Lin Fengsheng turned around with his hands loose in the air, grabbed the two wooden poles standing in the mud with both hands, alternately inserted and pulled them left and right, and returned to the shore.
Mei Ruoxue said: "Cousin, your method is very interesting. We'd better sharpen the lower end of the pole and stick those stinky crocodiles to death when we get there. ”
The group of heroes echoed loudly, and they all killed two birds with one stone, so many crocodiles are always a disaster.
Lin Fengsheng nodded and said: "The wooden pole is always too cumbersome, and it is very laborious to plug and pull it out repeatedly, so everyone went to the woods to look for it to see if there was a bamboo forest." Bamboo is slender and straight, and lighter than a wooden pole, making it ideal for crossing the swamp. ”
At that moment, the group of heroes poured into the depths of the forest to look for bamboo, and there were many bamboo forests in the deep mountains and old forests, and soon everyone cut down the bamboo poles that were worthy of their hands and came back.
Lin Fengsheng said loudly: "The silt in the swamp is unfathomable, and after the two bamboo poles carry the weight of the body, they sink very quickly. ”
The heroes agreed in unison, and walked to the edge of the swamp with bamboo poles in hand, all eager to try.
Lin Fengsheng said again: "When we walk over, the thieves will definitely release arrows, everyone must be careful!"
Qunhao responded, and was about to concoct it into the swamp according to the law, when Mei Ruoxue suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!" The tone was full of excitement.
Everyone looked at her in amazement, and Lin Fengsheng said, "Cousin, do you have any better ideas?"
Mei Ruoxue said: "The idea of crossing the swamp with a long bamboo pole is naturally very good, but everyone is in the air, and their movements are not free, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to dodge the arrows shot by the thieves." ”
Lin Fengsheng nodded and said, "Yes, what do you have to worry about?"
Mei Ruoxue smiled: "Let's learn the turtle." ”
Lin Fengsheng said curiously: "Turtle, how do you learn the Fa?"
Mei Ruoxue nodded and stretched out her hand, Lin Fengsheng looked in the direction of her finger, only to see a small turtle crawling out of the edge of the swamp, thinking that it was frightened and excluded by the crocodiles, so she planned to escape from the swamp temporarily. The little turtle climbed very slowly, and everyone was happy when they looked at its leisurely appearance.
Mei Ruoxue picked up a small pebble and gently threw it on the turtle's back, and the turtle's head and limbs immediately retracted into the turtle's shell. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lin Fengsheng seemed to have an understanding, and said: "Although the turtle moves slowly, it is difficult to avoid external attacks, but it is born with a hard shell to make up for this defect. Cousin, how do we study the Fa?"
Mei Ruoxue said: "I can't think of many truths, but we can imitate a tortoise shell." Let's tie our shields to the chests of those who walk in front of us, so that even if we are hit by an arrow, we will not be tight. ”
The human head is the most important part of the whole body, but the head can move forward and backward at will, and it is more difficult to get the accurate head than the upper body. The upper body contains vital internal organs, and it is easier to get the right head, so it is a top priority in the defense at the moment.
Lin Fengsheng was overjoyed and said, "Everyone quickly find some vines or strings and tie the shield firmly to their chests." When crossing the swamp, there is a shield in front, and the rest in the back. ”
Some of the heroes cut the bark of trees and kneaded them into thin ropes, some used sharp weapons to drill small holes in the four corners of their shields, some passed the kneaded thin ropes through the small holes, and some tied the shields with ropes tightly to the chests of the righteous men who volunteered. Half an hour later, hundreds of people were tied with shields on their chests, and there were still a lot of shields left, Lin Fengsheng said: "It's enough, you should try to disperse as much as possible, first, to avoid a large number of arrows, and secondly, it is better to divide and attack, and kill the thief by surprise." ”
Hundreds of people, protected by shields, descended into the swamp, alternately inserted bamboo poles with their hands, and quickly moved towards the opposite bank. The rest of the people followed suit. Seeing such a formation, the crocodiles swam around, naturally only salivating, and could only watch countless long-legged "monsters" pass over their heads.
Looking at Qunhao's back, Ha Luha smiled and said, "It's really unbelievable that you two can come up with such a solution." Little girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're getting smarter and smarter. As he spoke, he patted Mei Ruoxue's shoulder and praised it very much.
Mei Ruoxue was very proud, and grinned: "Uncle, you have won the award, I just had a whim." ”
Several people also followed with bamboo poles.
When the group reached the middle of the swamp, they only heard the sound of the bowstring on the opposite side, and the thieves really released their arrows. All the people in front of them were the best of all the sects, they were not weak, and they were protected by shields, and there were few casualties.
Only a few of the more than 5,000 people were exhausted, their arms were sore, and they finally fell into the swamp and were mutilated by the crocodiles.
After another half an hour, some people had already rushed to the other side, and the rest of the people were in great spirits, and they all quickened their pace, and the more tired they came, more and more people went ashore. As soon as they came ashore, they abandoned the bamboo poles and fought fiercely with the thieves. The two sides shouted and fought fiercely.
Lin Fengsheng flew ashore and shouted angrily: "Success or failure is here, and the peace of the people of Weichu depends on everyone!"
