Chapter 1015 Changes
"Save people, save people quickly!"
When the pursuers on the shore saw this scene, they were a little stunned for a while. They were stunned for a while before they realized what was going on, and then they shouted loudly in a hurry.
It was just a training exercise. They didn't expect Cui Hongdu to be so determined. Seeing that there was no hope of victory, he threw himself into the river! Although this guy has a severe and irritable personality and is not very popular, there is no need to kill him just because of a drill. It's early autumn now. Although the flood season has passed, the river is still very plentiful. Cui Hongdu is covered in armor. Can he still survive after jumping into the river?
Therefore, after everyone reacted, they no longer bothered to form a formation to fight, and hurriedly dispersed, looking for tools to rescue Cui Hongdu. After Cui Hongdu threw himself into the water, he was quickly swept into the river by the undercurrent of the river. At this time, he was struggling desperately in the river, but in vain he was getting farther and farther away from the river bank.
"Quick, quick, there's a sampan here! Get on the boat and paddle!"
After everyone saw this, they became more and more afraid to neglect, and pushed the sampan ferry parked on the shore into the river. Soon, someone who knew the nature of water boarded the boat and headed towards Cui Hongdu's unstable position.
Even though the others couldn't help, they all looked up anxiously. Although some people vaguely felt that something was wrong, they did not care about anything else at such a life-threatening moment. They just hoped to successfully rescue Cui Hongdu.
At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Cui Hongdu, who was floating down the river, but they did not notice that Gao Jiong and others had also landed one after another on the built rafts. Even if someone saw this scene, Cui Hongdu had not been rescued yet, and they were in no mood to engage in any further confrontation.
"Come on, ignore this place, you will win once you enter the city!"
Everyone who landed was worried about Cui Hongdu's safety, and wanted to go up and have a look. However, they heard Gao Qiao roaring, so they stopped staying and headed towards the Chengcheng defense not far from the shore. The city rushed away.
"How can you be so cold..."
When someone on the shore saw this scene, they immediately frowned and snorted with some disdain. They have all given up their interception mission to rescue Cui Hongdu, but these Cui Hongdu's teammates are still so indifferent, which is simply...
"No, no! Cui Hongdu is wearing iron armor, can he float in the water?"
At this moment, someone finally realized that something was wrong. According to common sense, Cui Hongdu, who was dressed in metal, must have sunk to the bottom after diving. However, this kid kept flopping after entering the water. He had no intention of sinking!
After this reminder, everyone woke up and looked at it carefully. The iron armor that should have fallen heavily was now floating directly on the water, lifting Cui Hongdu's body with it. The rescuers on the sampan also came into contact with Cui Hongdu, and immediately cursed: "The dog thief used deception, but he actually used bamboo armor!"
After hearing this, everyone on the shore started shouting and cursing. Seeing Cui Hongdu, who had just arrived with a determined look on his face, climbing on the boat with all his hands and feet, they became even more angry and shouted: " Throw him down, throw him down again!"
The group of disciples on the shore were extremely angry at this deceitful act. However, Gao Jiong and other personnel had already rushed to the defense of Chengcheng. They were even more happy when they saw Duke Tang who was walking out surrounded by his personal guards. He greeted him before entering and said, "Your Majesty, your servants have successfully arrived at Fangcheng according to your previous orders!"
Li Tai was also in the city when he heard that the soldiers were reporting that Cui Hongdu jumped into the river in shame. He was also shocked. He hurried out to check and saw this scene. After the false alarm, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. He glared at these proud-looking teenagers. shouted: "Who is deceiving this?"
"Just, just be prepared..."
Gao Jiong saw that Mr. Tang looked a little unhappy, so he lowered his head and whispered.
Hearing this, Li Tai didn't know what to say for a moment. Anyone who knows how to use tactics will say that the secret of using it lies within the heart. Not to mention the unsuccessful pursuers on the shore, even he almost believed it. .
Because of Cui Hongdu's performance of jumping into the river, more than 50 people including Gao Jiong and his party successfully rushed to the gate of Chengcheng Fangcheng. In addition to their group, there were other people who arrived sporadically, so Li Tai ordered to take stock of the success. The people who broke through walked towards the dejected interceptors on the shore.
No one would be happy to be put in such a position when they were about to win. Cui Hongdu, who had taken the initiative to make the decision, saw all the people on the shore staring at him. They put their hands on the sampan and refused to get off until he saw it out of the corner of his eyes. When Tang Gong reached this point, he shouted loudly: "Tang Gong, save me, cousin, save me!"
This kid started to have a relationship in a hurry, and it was obvious that he was really a little panicked. Li Tai raised his hand and motioned for Li Ya and the others behind him to get into the water and lure him out. He stood in front of a group of dejected interceptors and said with a smile. : "Although they are using deceit now, they have also taught you the deceitful ways of the soldiers. The victory or defeat is not determined for a moment, and there will still be many changes. Kindness does not lead the army, first win the victory and then apply benevolence and righteousness. If you are involved in conquest in the future, today Things are enough to serve as a warning!”
Although this is just a confrontation training, the principles are somewhat similar to war. In order to win, you need to do whatever it takes. Li Tai does not teach these people to destroy morality and conscience, and blindly promote deceitful ways. It is just that before true victory, the so-called pity and compassion are negative emotions that interfere with and even harm the general.
The truth has been told a thousand times, but it is better to experience it for yourself. After listening to Tang Gong's words, those three guards who failed to intercept each looked thoughtful. Although they were still a little angry and annoyed, they were no longer as before. Full of frustration.
When Li Tai turned around and led these three guards to Fangcheng, the soldiers who had been responsible for counting the number of people hurried forward and whispered the results of the count to Duke Tang. After listening to this, Li Tai's expression suddenly became a little brighter. He looked at Cui Hongdu and other smug people, and then at the thoughtful and lost interceptors, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
When they arrived at the gate of Fangcheng, and when the people from both sides lined up and stood in line, Li Taicai asked Li Ya to come forward and announce the result of this training confrontation: "The number of people who successfully broke through and reached Fangcheng is seventy-five."
When they heard Li Ya shout "seventy", Gao Jun, Cui Hongdu and others couldn't help but smile and were ready to celebrate the victory. But when they heard the word "five" at the end, the words that just appeared in the corners of their mouths The smile suddenly froze on his face.
"Seven, seventy-five? Is that wrong?"
After a while, Cui Hongdu, who was still wet and dripping, couldn't help but raised his hand first and asked.
It should be noted that there were 153 people involved in the fight at the Shangyang Palace School Ground before, and more than half of them needed to arrive at Fangcheng to avoid punishment. That is, there were 77 people, but now there are only 75 people. The outcome is uncertain. It goes without saying.
Not to mention the sudden change in expressions of Cui Hongdu and others, Su Wei and others who were dejected on the other side suddenly clapped their hands and cheered. The confrontation that they thought was about to fail unexpectedly took such a turn, and several people couldn't help shouting loudly. Said: "The Lord said that the outcome is uncertain and there are many variables. It will be tested today!"
Li Tai couldn't help but smile when he looked at the sudden change of sadness and joy among the teenagers. He really didn't expect this change, but he had to say that such a reversal directly had the full effect. What Fan had experienced The young disciples must have been deeply impressed and unforgettable.
"Don't panic, don't panic, there is still a turning point, there is a turning point!"
Among the team that was extremely happy and sad, Gao Jiong, after pondering for a moment, quickly spoke again: "The time set today is afternoon time, which is still more than an hour and a half away. There is still a chance, as long as the scattered people behind can reach here, it only takes two days We’re just people, there will definitely be a turn for the better!”
Hearing what Gao Yan said, the eyes of his friends suddenly lit up again and they nodded in agreement. It should be noted that the previous rule was that as long as they came to the city gate to sign in, they could no longer participate in the confrontation.
Therefore, although Cui Hongdu and others had arrived one step ahead, they did not sign in in order to support Gao Jiong and his party, so they were not counted among the number of people who successfully broke through. Now that most of the opponent's side has already arrived, even if there are scattered personnel coming from behind, we can only watch them win by passing by!
The transition between sorrow and joy in this moment was so fast that all the three guards present did not know what expressions to make, so they all looked southward with sullen faces, and they were constantly thinking in their hearts. Pray silently.
Li Tai was also happy that the situation had developed to this point, so he simply stayed in front of the city gate and waited for a while to see if there would be a turn for the better in the end.
"Come on, come on, someone is coming!"
After an unknown amount of time, a carriage drove up on the road to the south, followed by dozens of young men wearing three-guard robes. When everyone saw this, they all held their breath and stared seriously.
Yang Jian and others walked closer and saw everyone in front of the city gate staring at them. They were a little nervous for a moment and slowed down.
When Su Wei and others saw that they were members of their own side, they hurriedly shouted loudly: "Hurry up and form an array in front of the city. Don't allow the enemy to enter!"
"The enemy is gone. I saw a dozen of them on the way. Capture them all!"
After hearing this shouting, Yang Jian opened his mouth to reply and pointed at the dozen or so dejected people in the team.
His team originally only had seven people, which was far from enough to capture these opponents. However, there were many friends who were alone or hungry and thirsty during the trip and came together to travel together and share supplies. In this way, they gathered more than thirty people. Then they met a small team arranged by the enemy to lure and intercept them, and they were captured easily.
"Victory, victory!"
Hearing Yang Jian's answer, Su Wei and others could no longer restrain their excitement and clapped their hands and shouted. After this emotional ups and downs, Gao Jiong and others could only accept the result with a wry smile. They first congratulated each other briefly, and then lowered their heads to wait for Tang Gong's punishment.
