C1802 Blood-stained Baran River (1/2)
At that moment, the sky and earth changed color. Strong soldiers carried rafts and canoes and rushed into the Baran River while roaring loudly. Canoes and rafts smashed into the water, causing white waves to rise everywhere. The forcibly ferried soldiers crowded on the rafts and started using Engineer's spade s as oars to paddle the boat with all their might.
The entire west bank of Baran River was like a boiling pot. Chinese soldier jumped into the shallow water that was waist-deep, like a dumpling, and then climbed onto the raft and bravely advanced forward.
The river was two kilometers long, filled with white waves caused by people and wooden boats, and the sky was raining heavily. The entire river was filled with white smoke.
”Charge...” Charge... The officer in front of him... Break through the enemy lines and kill the enemy leader! ”
”If the rain is good, then the enemy's cannons will no longer be effective. Charge over and slash with your sabers!”
The twenty thousand vanguard unit charged forward brazenly, the Indigenous soldiers opposite side was in an uproar, ”The Chinese are attacking, they really are attacking, they are actually attacking in such weather? ”Quick, fire!”
Boom … Boom! Boom! However, it was a pity that aboriginal monkeys had difficulty grasping such a high-tech weapon like cannons. These cannons did not hit the target at all, and instead destroyed a few floating logs of logs.
”Speed up, speed up …” The enemy's artillery can't even fire a few shots in this heavy rain! ” Fang Dong shouted to encourage the soldiers, but at this moment, the first wave of soldiers had already reached the central channel of Baran River, the current of the river was extremely fast, and the surface of the river was filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items.
Suddenly, Fang Dong saw a black shadow flash in the white wave, and a huge tree that was rushing down from the primeval forest crashed onto his wooden raft. Instantly, more than ten soldiers on the wooden raft shattered and fell into the water.
Fortunately, all the Nan Yang boys knew how to swim, and with all the animals tied around their waists to blow their bladder and seal their mouths, the glass bottle gave them some buoyancy, allowing them to swim across the river and save some energy.
”Don't be afraid, swim across the river... Come with me if you are able to swim well. Hold up your rifle and don't get f * cking soaked in water! ”
Just as they were talking, suddenly, right in front of Fang Dong, a strange swirl appeared in the water, followed by a piece of bitter bark rushing out of the water. The soldier in the lead was suddenly pulled into the water, and then a whip mercilessly lashed onto Fang Dong's waist.
”Ah …” A scream escaped him before a few mouthfuls of water could flow into his stomach, and a wave knocked him underwater.
For a split-second he saw clearly that it was a swamp crocodile that had attacked them. The animal was circling in the water, biting its brother's waist.
Only the old hunter knew the hunting methods of the crocodiles. Normally, these terrifying aquatic beasts were extremely lazy and didn't like to move, but once they launched an attack, their speed would be incomparably fast.
These beasts would then drag their prey into the water and quickly twist their bodies. This was to use the spinning, tearing force to directly tear off the meat they were biting, causing the prey to quickly die.
Fang Dong was whipped by the crocodile's tail to the waist. It was so powerful that it pierced his bones! He clutched his waist as his eyes sunk. Under the water, all the lights and shadows became blurred.
The gloomy sky blocked most of the sunlight. Only a faint glow illuminated a depth of two to three meters underwater. The rest was darkness, an endless darkness.
The fallen brothers slowly sank into the water. As they struggled, bubbles came out of their mouths, as strings of bubbles floated upwards … Huge pieces of floating wood knocked over numerous canoes and wooden rafts, and countless green vines wrapped around the legs of countless soldiers. He even saw poisonous snakes swimming around among the vines.
”This old primal forest is really terrifying …” This really isn't a place where humans of the civilized world live... ”This is a land that needs a lifetime of effort to reform …”
His consciousness gradually dissipated, and Fang Dong was in a state of near death, when suddenly, a strong force rose from his back, pulling him out of the water with a splash, followed by an iron fist smashing into his stomach.
With a ”wow”, he spat out the water no matter how many times he drank it. His nose was filled with the smell of earth.
