Chapter 306: Crossing the Meadow (1)
For the soldiers of the Shu army who have just crossed the five snowy mountains, the endless grassland in front of them does not seem to be anything special, and it is even much smoother than this section of the thorny road over the snowy mountains.
But Fang Fu stepped into the grassland, and the Shu soldiers understood the power, compared with the snow mountain, this grassland seems to be more sinister, the road to the snow mountain is not easy to walk, but it also has a road, this vast grassland swamp, there is no way to find it at all.
In the meadow, there are only some low weeds, from a distance, a gray and yellow color, it seems that the aquatic grass is very dense, after entering the meadow, I found that the grass here grows very sparsely, a bush in the east, a bush in the west, forming a meadow, and between the meadows, it is black and exuding a foul smell of black silt.
Before entering the meadow, the battalions had received instructions from above, that when marching on the meadow, they must step on the meadow, and they must not walk on the meadow without permission.
Although the military order is like a mountain, the vast majority of soldiers can still follow the orders of the upper peak, and march along the meadow along the footprints stepped out of the front, but there are always a few lucky soldiers who detour through the muddy pond without grass in order to take a few steps less.
The horror of the swamp lies in its devouring ability, even if you are a strong warrior, once you fall into the quagmire, no matter how much strength you have, the faster you will feel. One of the soldiers of the Tiger Infantry Battalion got stuck in the mud, and soon the mud reached his knees, and he struggled to jump out. But undoubtedly this is a futility. In the blink of an eye, it didn't reach the waist. Another soldier reached out to pull him. But unfortunately, he also fell into the mud, but with half a cup of tea, two fresh lives were swallowed up by the meadow swamp, and there was not even a trace of them in the place where they died.
Watching the two of them being swallowed up in the mire from afar, everyone had an incredible look on their faces, it was terrible, but it was just a blink of an eye. The two men disappeared.
With the lessons of the past, the next march naturally became cautious, but the terrible meadow did not become peaceful because of the caution of the Shu soldiers, it always played the role of a man-eating beast when it was unexpected, the meadow was wet and slippery, many soldiers were a little careless, and as soon as their feet slipped, they fell out of the range of the meadow and were dragged into the bottomless quagmire by death.
It was almost the most difficult march, slippery and difficult to walk underfoot. The road is winding and winding, in order to find a safe path. The vanguard had to make a variety of attempts, breaking snakes in the meadows and making strange routes along the meadows.
After Sanda entered the meadow, he not only acted as a guide to guide the way, but also became an expert professor for the survival and self-help of the meadow. In order to more intuitively let the soldiers of the Shu army learn the survival skills of the grassland, Sanda deliberately stepped into a quagmire that was large enough to reach the top of the people, and personally demonstrated the skills of getting out of trouble.
Sanda warned the soldiers not to panic or move when they fall into the mud, to keep enough composure, and once they find that they are below their ankles, they must immediately fall to the ground, crawl their whole body in the mud, and slowly roll in the mud, rolling as far as possible where there is grass.
If you sink too fast, beyond the buttocks, then the way of rolling is ineffective, at this time, you must use all the tools in your hands, sticks or long weapons to place horizontally in the quagmire, at an angle of 90 degrees to the body, as much as possible to slow down the speed of sinking. At this time, it is already difficult to save yourself, and you must use the power of the robe. But don't pull it directly with your hands, because the surrounding of the quagmire is also quite unstable, and you may not be able to sink into it when walking normally, but once you exert force, the person who saves people will also fall into it and can't pull it yourself.
If you want to rescue a trapped companion, you must use a rope or something like that, tie the rope around the waist of the trapped person, and pull the trapped person out with the strength of two or three people, and the rescuer must not use an upright position, you must make sure that there is grass under your feet that is relatively solid, and then crawl on the meadow before you can pull hard.
Once the trapped person does not reach the chest position, at this time Da Luo Immortal can not be saved, the people around can mourn silently, do not try to save again, otherwise not only can not save the life of the trapped person, but also put the rescuer in danger.
Zhang Le looked at Sanda who crawled out of the mud, except for a pair of eyes, the whole person was like a clay sculpture, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the grass is nothing more than that, as long as you master some skills, it won't be too difficult to cross the grass." ”
Sanda glanced at Zhang Le, whispered a few words in Ah Jian's ear, and left to change clothes.
Zhang Le was inexplicable, so he asked Ah Jian, "What did he say?" ”
Ah Jian didn't hide it, and said, "Sanda said, the sinister nature of the grassland is far more than that. ”
Zhang Le was stunned for a moment and said, "Far more than?" Aside from the mire, what's so scary about meadows? ”
Liu Yin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Since Sanda can walk out of the grassland alive, he must have rich experience, at least he has experienced countless dangers of death. ”
Zhang Le muttered and said, "I don't think it's a big deal." ”
Liu Yin smiled helplessly, Zhang Le's character is very clear to him, he is purely a donkey, you really can't compete with a stubborn donkey.
In the meadow, the fog has been thick and cloudy for many years, and the sun is almost invisible, but Liu Yin has a compass in hand, and he is not afraid of losing his way. The compass is one of the four great inventions of the Chinese Stone Dynasty, and it was not created by Liu Yin, but Sinan is too precise, inconvenient to carry, Liu Yin simply found a few magnetic needles, ground them into thin strips, and placed them in the water when they are used. Liu Yin distributed the compass to various units in case they would get lost, and as long as the compass was in hand, he could discern the location of Longxi no matter what.
Seeing that the sky was darkening, Liu Yin sighed softly, the grassland march was really difficult, the marching speed of the entire Shu army was sluggish, and on the first day into the grassland, even twenty miles were not completed, it seems that the next trip is an unprecedented challenge for the Shu army. The grassland of more than 300 kilometers is more than 700 Han li, and if you advance at this speed, the Shu soldiers will become very dangerous. (To be continued......)
