Chapter 122 Crossing the River
The two men were so scared that their legs were weak, and they lay on the rooftop, shouting for help.
The people watching on the sidelines became silent.
It turned out that the Bashu Wulin Army gathered at the school ground, attracting many ordinary soldiers wandering in the military camp to watch. Many people don’t know much about this special army (the military training organized by the Martial Arts Department every year is at most a joint training with the garrison troops of Chengdu Prefecture). Seeing the teams on the field wearing various outfits, holding different weapons, loose queues, and laughing and joking... It is completely different from the strict requirements of generals on weekdays, so the criticism on the sidelines suddenly became dissatisfied.
The most important thing is that they saw that there were still many women in the team, which completely subverted their understanding of the army. Some soldiers who stayed in the military camp for many years and had nowhere to vent their energy began to whistle and scream loudly, trying to attract the attention of some pretty women on the field. Some even spit out dirty words in their mouths, which led to the scene just now.
The audience on the sidelines were astonished after seeing this scene, and then they realized the terror of this team that was not like the army.
Even though the commander of the military commander of the military commander who was absent from Jiang Shijia asked repeatedly, the others did not take the initiative to solve the problem. After a while, the two women used their light skills again and carried the two soldiers on the roof of the flag tower down.
As soon as these two big and thick men fell to the ground, they collapsed like a pool of mud.
Many martial arts people on the field cheered loudly, and two women clasped their fists to thank them, and walked into the team.
"Brother Tang, who is that female Taoist?" Xue Chang stretched out his hand and asked curiously. The reason why he didn't ask the other woman was because he happened to recognize it was Jin Shuirong, a disciple of the Emei Sect who had just met for a while.
"She, Hua Yourui, the female disciple of the elder Lu Changcai of Qingcheng Sect, is known as the Iron Mouth Quick Sword in the martial arts world. Don't mess with him easily." Tang Tianshu reminded.
"She has a bad temper?" Xue Chang asked, not surprised. After all, there was a rebellious real person who protects the country, and the Qingcheng Sect disciples were famous for being arrogant.
"That's not." Tang Tianshu shook his head and said, "She is serious about doing things, she can't rub sand in her eyes, and she is straightforward. As long as she thinks something is wrong, anyone dares to scold him. She even argued with Dugu Zhenren in person many times for her master. It is said that several huge rocks on the ground of the Qingcheng Sect Martial Arts Hall were broken, which was the result of Dugu Zhenren being angry by her. However, her behavior also made Dugu Zhenren dare not bully Elder Lu too much. It is rumored that Master Zhao from Qingcheng Sect also lamented that he would have an apprentice like Hua Yourui."
Tang Tianshu's introduction made Xue Chang a little curious about this unique female disciple of the Qingcheng Sect.
When the infantry changed their clothes and finished their teams, the Bashu Wulin Army conducted military exercises on the school ground: the scouts investigated the enemy situation, the infantry lined up to defend, the light infantry attacked the enemy at a long range, and after the two sides joined the formation, the swordsman team launched an assault...
Although they are all the most basic combat routines, the Bashu Wulin Brigade is still not very skillful in practice, but none of the onlookers showed contempt, not only because of the martial arts of Hua Yourui and Jin Shuirong just now, but also because the training performed by the Wulin Brigade is very different from their usual military training:
They could not be able to charge quickly more than a mile like the infantry on the field wearing armor, holding square shields and weapons (the length of the military camp is two miles). They still did not shake their hands, their legs were not weak, and they could still line up to defend themselves in a calm manner;
They could not have shot countless iron needles by one person like the light infantry on the field, and after flying for dozens of meters, they could still pierce into the ground;
They could not have been like the soldiers of the swordsmen on the field, without having to attack from both wings, and jumped directly from the top of the infantry team, like a goshawk prey on prey, and hit the sky, and the sword in their hands could also make the sound of wind and thunder...
Of course, it was precisely because of the criticism of the bystanders that the martial arts heroes on the field were determined to show their martial arts skills, which really made the soldiers look disgusted.
However, this drill did not satisfy Jiang Shijia, who arrived later. In the next two days, the two martial arts teams in Bashu and Jinghu were organized together, led by Jiang Shijia and Bian Jinlin, and continued to strengthen conventional military training, and also added some login exercises.
The training is very intense and very strict, which makes Xue Chang not have the opportunity to chat with them even if he is familiar with Erqiong Ye, Shangguan Yi and others in the iron-blooded Changhemen.
The vast majority of martial arts people did not complain about this, because Jiang Shijia had already told them clearly: the landing operation is about to begin, and the martial arts army will serve as the vanguard to fight the rebels to ensure the smooth landing of the subsequent troops.
…………………………………………………………………………
On the third morning, the drizzle stopped, the sun rose and the sky cleared.
Jiang Shijia sent an order: pack up and go to the military camp port to take a boat immediately!
Finally, I was going to fight to kill the enemy!... After Xue Chang got on the boat, she felt both excited and nervous.
"Let's go!" The shipman standing at the bow of the boat shouted, and the long bamboo pole pushed hard towards the dock, and the small boat containing six people rushed out like an arrow. When the strong force was about to disappear, the sailors at the stern began to shake the boat and flew hard, and the boat floated obliquely to the opposite shore along the water flow.
I heard others say in the military camp that "The Shu River is not wide, it is only 60 meters wide, so it is easy to cross by boat." But when you really sit in the boat and look at the Shu River straight, you will only feel that the river water is wide and vast, and how small it is.
What's more, although the rainy season has not arrived completely, the river water has risen, the water is turbid and yellow, the water flows very fast, and the waves are not small. Especially after reaching the center of the river, the rapid waves continue to surge, hitting the side of the ship, and the splashes continue to pour into the ship, giving people a sense of fear that the river water will flood the ship at any time.
Xue Chang couldn't help but have an idea in his heart: use his light skills quickly and escape from this dangerous situation!
Especially when a big wave hit him and splashed him all over, he couldn't help but stand up.
"Sit down quickly! Don't move around!" The shipboat shouted loudly, "Don't worry, the ship cannot sink!"
The sailor also answered loudly: "You can sit there with confidence. Even if there is a strong flood or strong wind, we can still deliver goods by boat and travel safely. On land, you are the best in martial arts, but on this big river, we have to see the power of our Feiyu Gang! Old Huangtou, come one!"
"Okay!" The shipman pushed the long pole hard to the bottom of the river, and raised his head and shouted: "Oh!——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The sailor answered: "Hizole!"
"Oh oh oh oh!"
“Hizole!”
"Wearing evil waves--"
"Hi!"
"Breaking into the vortex--"
"Hi!"
...
The rough roar of the sailors on the ship was quickly responded, and the sailors of other ships also shouted: "... The boatman said, hi! It's all a gall, hi! Let's work together, go to the sea! Hi! Hi! Yohohohohohohohohohohohoho..."
The horns yelled by the boatmen gathered together, like rolling thunder, echoing on the Shu River. Not only did it overwhelm the sound of the river, but it also evaporated the uneasiness in Xue Chang and the others. Listening to the rough and unrestrained horns, the river bank was not far ahead in a blink of an eye.
"It's time for us to leave!" Tang Tianshu reminded.
"I'll do it first!" Qin Hankuan stood up, and his feet were pressing hard on the board. The boat shook lightly, and he jumped up and rushed to the shore.
Next is Xiao Hongzhang.
Xue Chang did not leave immediately. He bowed to the shipkeeper and the sailor one after another, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work! The slogans you yelled out are very good!"
The shipkeeper laughed and said, "My name is Wanshui. Welcome the young man to take our boat next time!"
"Absolute!" Xue Chang nodded, lifted his breath sharply, kicked his right foot back, and his whole body shot out like an arrow, and in an instant it flew more than one meter away from the boat. When a breath of true energy was exhausted and his body was falling, Xue Chang waved his arms down, and the internal force of the dantian accelerated out, and the veins in his body were rapidly moving, causing Xue Chang's body to rise instead of falling. Then he took a step in the air, and then slowly landed on the riverside full of puddles, without splashing a drop of water. This was the result of Xue Chang's use of the two light skills of Leaf Falling and Warbler Flying and Wind and Chasing the Moon at the same time.
Tang Tianshu, who was on the boat, looked at him so hard that he couldn't help but shout, "What a light skill!" He immediately rushed towards the shore.
As soon as the four of them stood on the bank of the river, they heard Leng Yuntian shouting not far away: "The scout team is here to gather!"
Xue Chang and the others immediately used their light skills to run over, and the slippery river bank did not affect their speed at all.
The scouts were the first to set off by boat, and soon six teams and twenty-four people gathered next to Leng Yuntian.
"Now we will immediately rush to the vicinity of Liangjiang Town to investigate the rebel movements. Remember! We just observe and don't fight with the enemy! Once we find that the rebels are taking action, except for the first team continuing to monitor the situation of the Mahu River floating bridge, the other teams will immediately return with me and meet with the main force. Do you understand?"
When Leng Yuntian was giving advice, his eyes were always looking at the oldest Taoist nun in the Goddess Palace until the other party nodded. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Standing on the bank of the river and looking south, you can see the outline of Liangjiang Town. It seems not far away. But in fact, in order to prevent being flooded by the river in the rainy season every year, Liangjiang Town is built on the mountainside. It is easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up the mountain. Even if everyone in the scouts have excellent light skills, it will take some time.
Xue Chang learned Zhou Qiao's light skills in chasing the wind and chasing the moon, and after training in constant marching and reconnaissance some time ago, he made considerable progress. In addition, the leaves and beards who were already a small success, he felt that his level of light skills among the young people in the scout team was outstanding, but the light skills of the Goddess Palace man in the rapid speeding surprised him.
They almost didn't touch the ground, and they seemed to float on the ground, floating forward leisurely, and always following Leng Yuntian, looking very at ease. Not only the two old Taoist nuns, but also the other two young female Taoists.
Xue Chang quickly eliminated the pride that had just grown up and had to sigh: There are people outside of others, and there is heaven beyond heaven!
Liangjiang Town is high and has a wide view. In addition, the weather is good, the actions of the Dazhou scouts cannot be hidden from the eyes of the rebel sentry. When Leng Yuntian led the scouts to try to bypass the walls of Liangjiang Town and go to a higher hillside to look down on the movements of the rebels in the town, the rebels' bows and arrows began to shoot at them continuously.
For scouts with excellent light skills, the arrows shot by ordinary soldiers did not pose much threat to them, but some people could not stand such passive beatings, so they took action.
I saw a figure jumping up and passing by the arrow that was shot. His fingers quickly clamped the arrow's tail, and his whole body rotated rapidly in the air for a while. The arrow in his hand was thrown out, and the speed was twice as fast as when he came. Then he heard a scream from a distance, and a rebel soldier fell from the whistle.
"Tang Tianshu, you are so bold, you dare to disobey my orders!" Leng Yuntian glared at Tang Tianshu who fell to the ground.
"Captain, I couldn't help it when I saw the rebels shooting arrows, so I was impulsive and forgot your order. I was willing to accept the punishment!" Tang Tianshu did not make any arguments, and simply knelt in front of Leng Yuntian.
"Hmph!" Leng Yuntian pulled the sword and waved it. Tang Tianshu's eyelids didn't blink. He saw a flash of cold light. The long sword cut off an arrow shot at him. At the same time, he cut off the wooden hairpin that was tied with his hair, and his hair was spread on his shoulders.
"When this battle is over, I will punish you according to military law!" Leng Yuntian returned the sword to the sheath and said coldly: "Get up quickly, do you want me to continue to protect you?"
"Yes, captain." Tang Tianshu stood up respectfully, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. He looked quietly at the goddess palace maid next to him who suspected that he was Luo Lanmeng: the reason why he took this risk just now was just to attract her attention.
However, the other party did not seem to be attracted by his actions and kept whispering to the old Taoist nun.
Leng Yuntian would not pay attention to Tang Tianshu's disappointment, so he continued to lead the scouts to gallop towards the top of the mountain.
The rebels quickly stopped this meaningless archery, and soon Leng Yuntian stopped moving forward, allowing the scouts to disperse and carefully observe the movements of the rebels in Liangjiang Town from a high position.
