554. Torrent rescues
Chen Kang was furious when he heard this, and before he could say anything, Churchill hurriedly said: "It's right to listen to His Highness." After that, he turned back and straightened the rope on the side.
In the anxious eyes of everyone, Li Pojun finally finished holding his breath, surfaced and took a sharp breath, at this time he had been washed out of the water five zhang away.
"Quick, row, approach Your Highness". Chen Kang said busily, and several guards were busy using the oars to lean over Li Pojun, but fortunately, in this narrow river, the water flow was in one direction, and it soon approached.
Li Pojun also approached the soldier at this time, but three or four meters away, but he saw that the soldier had been choked by the water and rolled his eyes, his hands and feet didn't know how to struggle, and he was completely flowing with the flow.
Li Pojun's head was a little dazed by the torrent, and he only felt that the world was spinning, but fortunately, Li Pojun had a good water nature in his previous life and this life, and his physical fitness in this life was even stronger, and he could still move his hands and feet in the torrent with such a great water resistance.
"Throw the rope". Li Pojun stepped out of the water and stretched out his head and shouted, just saying this sentence was choking on a big mouthful of water, almost holding it back, and this time it was dripping out a few feet away.
Seeing this, Chen Kang held the rope in his hand and looked at the water anxiously, when Li Pojun appeared on the water again, but three zhang away, Chen Kang threw out the rope violently when he saw the opportunity, and shouted in his mouth: "Your Highness, catch it."
In the anxious mood of everyone, the rope was thrown to Li Pojun's side, and as soon as he fell, he was about to be washed away by the current, Li Pojun pounced, stopped the rope to his chest, and wrapped his arm.
Chen Kang was overjoyed when he saw it, and he hurriedly shouted: "Pull it quickly."
Several guards and Chen Kang Chuji pulled the rope hard, and it was very difficult to pull two big living people over under the resistance of the water, only to feel that the rope seemed to weigh a thousand catties, but how dare everyone rest, a few people did not frown when their hands were strangled with blood, and after a few people tried their best to pull the rope, Li Pojun and the two finally approached the side of the boat.
Forcibly endured the exhaustion and lifted the soldier who had been pulled by, and the soldiers on the side were busy pulling the unconscious soldier onto the boat, and Li Pojun was also dragged up by Chen Kang and others.
As soon as he got on the boat, Li Pojun lay on his back in the boat and gasped for breath, then turned over, turned the unconscious soldier over, pressed his chest with both hands, and after a few strokes, the man spit out several large pools of water one after another, and gradually woke up, and everyone was surprised and frightened.
Fortunately, the rest was safe and sound, everyone was lying on the boat or squatting on the boat after receiving Li Pojun's order, grabbing the side of the boat with both hands, the army was strong and elite, and no one was thrown down after grabbing it with a strong arm.
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and the sun set out at sunrise in the morning, and now seeing the sun setting in the west, everyone could be said to be exhausted, and they only felt that the hand that grabbed the side of the ship seemed to have stiffened, as if they were completely unconscious.
"Where are we now?" Li Pojun asked loudly.
"It's Jeju." Chen Kang looked at the landforms on both sides of the strait.
Li Pojun listened and looked at the sky, it was already dusk, and then looked back, only to see that the soldiers on each ship were clenching their teeth, their faces were pale, and it seemed that they couldn't hold on for long, and Li Pojun himself was exhausted, hungry, and it was dark, so it was impossible to go again.
Li Pojun shouted: "Turn left and go ashore."
Everyone was not surprised when they heard this, but they breathed a sigh of relief, and they all tried their best to use the last strength to pull the boat towards the left bank.
After Li Pojun's ship docked, Li Pojun ordered everyone to gather to count the supplies.
An hour later, a few fires were lit on the banks of the river.
With Zhai Changsun and the others lightly, Li Pojun hurriedly asked, "How?" Is there a reduction in staff? When the surrounding soldiers heard that Li Pojun was so concerned about the soldiers, and jumped into the first aid to save the soldier at noon, their hearts warmed.
Liang Baiwu's face was a little unsightly, Li Pojun sighed in his heart, and Liang Baiwu said bluntly: "Eighteen people are missing, and one of them is missing as a whole boat, and it should have flowed elsewhere."
Li Pojun frowned, and the whole ship went somewhere else? It's possible, and that doesn't mean it's dead.
Then Li Pojun's face turned grim, and he shouted: "It's okay to say that the fifteen people on the whole boat are lost, but what about the three people?" Which team is it? General Ben told that once a brother fell into the water, he would report it immediately, why didn't he report it? In the end, Li Pojun's voice was fierce, and Liang Baiwu and the others all lowered their heads and were speechless.
Seeing everyone bowing their heads, Li Pojun's face was even more gloomy, "What? Has no one stepped forward? ”
As soon as these words came out, the army, you look at me, I look at you, at this time, two soldiers came out of the back rows, and they should be dressed in a correct line.
"General, the brother who fell into the water belongs to the next." The two of them came out of the column and reported with solemn faces.
Li Pojun's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he shouted: "Why don't you report it?" ”
When the two of them heard Li Pojun's words, they also sighed in their hearts, and their faces were embarrassed, and then a team member who seemed quite clever replied with his head held high: "General, the brother who fell into the water disappeared after being hit by a few waves, and his subordinates dare not let the general take any more risks."
As soon as these words came out, the army was also moved, Li Pojun raised his eyebrows, and his heart was also warm, he could see that what the team was saying was not a fake, but after just a while, Li Pojun's face turned cold.
"The heart is commendable, and this general is grateful. However, what if you two violate our military orders and conceal them and do not report them? Li Pojun shouted coldly.
The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and when the two teams heard this, their faces were also pale, and they looked a little flustered in the light of the fire.
Violation of military orders...... Concealing it and not reporting it, this crime is not light, it is not light, it should be very serious, and it should be beheaded and beheaded for public display.
Although these two teams are both from peasant households, since they joined the Shence Army, they have received more favors from Li Pojun, and they have been well-trained for several months, coupled with political and political education, although they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts, they are not willing to die under military law without making meritorious contributions, but they do not dare to take responsibility.
Immediately gritted his teeth and raised his head to the ranks, "The subordinates are guilty, please punish the general."
When Li Pojun saw it, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he nodded secretly in his heart, with this quality, it is not a loss of education and training in the past two months.
"General Liang, what crime should you be guilty of disobeying orders and concealing and not reporting?" Li Pojun asked directly.
