The 100 selected people stripped naked, plugged their horns with oil paper, and hung their snare drums on their bodies.
The pigs blew bubbles, and each person acted as three balls.
They were tied up in groups of 10. If someone drowned, even if they died, their bodies had to be dragged to the other side. Just in case they could be saved.
The 100 people began to warm up. They took out disinfectant alcohol, and each person drank a mouthful.
They drank it as the beginning of the alcohol. There was still 80% alcohol.
"Are you ready?" the leader asked loudly in the rain.
"Ready!" the 100 people answered in unison.
"Go into the water!"
"Yes!"
The 100 people began to wade into the water in groups of 10. They swam up after a dip, and were quickly swept down by the current.
The station's constable felt numb all over. Were these people even human?
He had always heard that the Winged Knights were powerful, but who would have thought that the Emperor's other private army was also a fearless existence.
They didn't wait for daybreak to cross the Yangtze River in the rainy night.
"Wait for me. Little Six, Baldy, get on the boat. Quick!" The constable didn't know where his courage came from, but he suddenly shouted.
He snatched three diesel lamps, called out to the other two people, hung up the bamboo tube, and jumped onto the boat.
The two people beside him rushed over. Two of them placed the oars, and the other controlled the oars. They used the three swaying diesel lamps to lead the way for the recruits.
"Settle the horses," the leader of the recruits ordered.
He knew that this was a war for the recruits, and it was time to test the results of their training.
This operation would determine the position of their troops.
Time suddenly slowed down. The waves in the river could be seen clearly, and the sound of the water hitting the shore was long.
The leader felt his fingers go numb, and the rainwater on his face was stiff.
This state lasted for a while, and the bright spots on the boat disappeared. His body swayed, and he staggered.
In an instant, the cold rain took away his body heat, and he woke up again. He shivered and felt numb all over!
He turned around and rushed into the station. He found a bowl, scooped up some hot soup, blew on it, and poured it into his stomach.
He knew that his state just now wasn't normal, because at that moment, he felt that even if the other side shot a crossbow, he could catch it with his bare hands.
He knew that he needed to rest, or he would definitely die.
He sat on the ground and drank the soup instinctively. His ears were buzzing.
When he drank the soup, he couldn't feel the temperature. He was just blowing it with his common sense and observing the situation of the soup before.
He recalled what Li Yi had taught him. When a person was extremely afraid, nervous, or excited, adrenaline would be secreted faster.
During this period, a person's reaction would be dozens of times faster than usual, including their strength.
However, once this period was over, some people would die immediately, while others would need some time to recover.
As he drank the soup, his body began to lose strength and he wanted to sleep.
Until …
"Wu ~ ~ Wu ~ ~" Dong dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! The sound of horns and drums could be heard.
"Boss, they've gone over. Not a single person is missing. Boss, boss, what's wrong with you …" The voice was so long that the leader fell backwards.
"Boss is too tired. Carry him over and make sure his breathing is smooth. I'll take command now."
The recruit who was second in command stepped forward and took over the command.
They were trained in the same way as the Winged Knights. Everyone had to learn how to command.
There was no such thing as a situation where the entire army would fall into chaos after one of their commanders was killed.
The commanders took over in echelon formation. Unless the entire army was wiped out, there was no such thing as the army falling apart.
The people on the other side all went over. This side responded by blowing horns and beating drums to celebrate.
A hundred people carried three lamps and ran to find the people while carrying the village constable and three others.
"Hehehe, hehehehe …" The village constable and three others were carried by the arms and ran woodenly. Terrifying laughter came out of their mouths.
They had succeeded. In this weather and time, they were actually able to bring a hundred people to the shore alive when the boat was slanted and washed away by the water.
When this was over, it would be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives. Who could do it? Who would dare?
What was I thinking just now? Why are my legs so weak?
"Should I get a superior grade for my evaluation?" The village constable laughed for a while, then suddenly thought of something important. Evaluation!
"You've done a great job. What evaluation? Just get straight to the point where Li Dongzhu knows about the three of you.
What's a superior grade? Think about it now. What do you want? Do you want a county magistrate? Or do you want to get a county magistrate? "
One of the people carrying the village constable congratulated the village constable. In tonight's rain, you are the brightest star, piercing through the clouds.
"No, I won't. I will only be the village constable." The village constable was depressed and conflicted.
"Then tell us now. Where is Provincial Governor Lu Zhengdao? Let's go find him. "
"I know. He's on the mountain. I know which mountain. If we continue forward, there's still some distance. It will take more than an hour.
It's all water! We can't see a single person. It's dark and scary.
Can you guys not wear any clothes? Is it cold? Do you want to rest? "
The village constable used the lamplight to recall and was also concerned about other people's clothes.
"We'll freeze to death if we stop. The river water is too cold. Run! It's fine as long as we have hot water to drink when we reach the place. Clothes don't matter. "
"Yes! No one will laugh at you. "
"Yes! There's a fork in the road ahead. Which way? "
"Left. It's the left. Look at my hand."
"Are you raising your right hand? Is it the east or the west?"
"East. I raised the wrong one."
After nearly 50 minutes, everyone saw the light of a fire.
"We're here. Don't your feet hurt?"
"It hurts. It's numb from the pain. It's fine. When we get there, boil some soup and squeeze some blood out. We'll recuperate later."
"Don't we have to report back to the shore?"
"Can't we just be carried there? A few people will be enough. "
"Aren't you made of iron?"
"Are you stupid? Our health is more important. It's not like no one will carry us. "
"Then why are you here?"
"Our arrival means that the main force has arrived."
After another conversation, someone blocked the road ahead. "Who are you?"
"His Majesty is recruiting 10,000 soldiers. Our 100-man squad has crossed the river and arrived first. We want to meet Lu Zhengdao."
"Yes, I'm the village constable Wang Li. I'm the most reasonable person. You … wait for me to finish speaking before you leave."
"Report! His Majesty's 100-man squad has arrived. There's also the village constable Wang Li on the other side. "
The person in charge found Provincial Governor Lu Zhengdao who was still reading the newspaper.
"They can make it on a rainy night?" Lu Zhengdao's first thought was disbelief.
"Yes! They're also His Majesty's private army. Go and bring them here. "
Sun Tian, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly woke up. He could guarantee that he was in Chang 'an and knew the situation.
In less than 10 minutes, 103 people arrived. 100 of them didn't even wear shoes. They were carrying horns and snare drums.
There was no hair on their heads. They were bald. Under the light, the scars on their bodies could be seen from a certain angle.
"Boiling water, hot feet. Our feet are injured. Sterilization. Do you have soap? And hot soup. It's too cold. Our bodies are losing heat too quickly. It's better to get some ginger. "
When recruiting soldiers, they had to make sure they were in good condition in front of their own people.
It was a different matter when fighting a war. Even if their feet were rotting, they had to charge forward.
