Eight hundred and thirty second chapter heavy losses 4000(1/2)
Obviously, the bugs that appeared this time were not the same thing at all as those found in the floating corpses.
However, at this moment, Wu Liang did not have any time to think or analyze, and could only make the most beneficial decision for himself based on the current actual situation.
"Dian Wei, quickly cut off all the insects that are entangled in the ship!"
Wu Liang gave orders to Dian Wei in a hurried tone, then turned back to look at Yang Wanli and asked loudly: "Yang Wanli, have you been rescued?"
"Sir, those two brothers sank immediately after falling into the water. I can't find any trace of them!"
Yang Wanli replied annoyed and apologetically.
Several soldiers on the bow of the ship were still using their long poles to explore the water, but unfortunately nothing was found.
Obviously, the two soldiers of the Hu army did not simply fall into the water. They were probably attacked by insects immediately after falling into the water. Otherwise, if Wu Liang remembers correctly, those soldiers standing on the bow of the boat were all soldiers of the Hu army.
People with fairly good water skills can float up quickly by themselves if they accidentally fall into the water.
Is it finally impossible to avoid casualties?
Wu Liangzhong was also very upset. He valued the soldiers under his command very much and always made the best arrangements possible. Therefore, since he took charge of the Hu army, there had never been a single casualty in the army.
But this time...
If the two soldiers of the Hu army were attacked by such a larger insect immediately after falling into the water and dragged them directly into the water, the chance of survival would be very slim. After all, the situation at this time is different from what the big dog encountered before.
The situation is completely different. The bugs here are obviously more powerful, and the number is definitely more amazing. They even show a certain degree of organization and wisdom. In this case, it is difficult for his water-bending skills to play a decisive role.
at the same time.
"Sir, Wei has cut off all these big bugs, but more bugs are sticking out of the water!"
"Brother Youcai, there are also insects poking out of the water!"
"Wu Youcai, we are here too!"
"Sir, there are insects on the bow of the boat entangled in our long pole!"
"Sir, I'm afraid we are surrounded by insects on all sides..."
"..."
Everyone in the Hu army hurriedly reported the situation to Wu Liang, hoping that he would make a quick decision.
At this moment, everyone fully understood the current situation. I am afraid that not only are there such bugs in all directions around them, but also the entire body of water is filled with these bugs.
They could even fully imagine that if the water of the Yellow River hadn't contained a large amount of sediment and was so turbid that they wouldn't have been able to see the slightest bit of underwater conditions, otherwise they would have seen a terrifying scene in the water that they would never forget.
, even if you look around, the entire underwater area is a scary red color unique to this insect.
"Everything is secured!"
At this moment, everyone in the Hu army was in a desperate situation. Wu Liang could no longer take care of the two soldiers of the Hu army who fell into the water. He immediately shouted loudly, then concentrated his consciousness and turned on the water-bending technique with full firepower!
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
A dozen extremely fast whirlpools suddenly appeared around the boat. The whirlpools turned faster and faster. In just one breath, with the sound of "sucking, sucking, sucking" water, the water surface in the center of the vortex had already sunk two feet.
There is more than enough rice.
Affected by the water flow from different directions, the boat was constantly swaying. Even if the Hu army held on to the hull firmly, it was still swaying uncontrollably.
But this move did have an effect.
I saw those big bugs that had already stretched out of the water, and they seemed to be caught by something when these whirlpools appeared, and they quickly dived down again at an extremely fast speed.
Not only that.
In the huge current of the whirlpool, everyone could still see a few bugs emerging from the water, whirling with the floating corpses in the floating corpse array, and then being quickly sucked into the center of the whirlpool, leaving no room for struggle.
"Walk!"
Seeing that the siege of the insects was temporarily lifted, Wu Liang immediately stabilized the water situation a little and shouted to the Hu army again.
The water was slightly stable, and everyone in the Hu army finally stood firm. They hurriedly shook the oars to make the boat continue to move forward. The whirlpool in front of it also disappeared in a coordinated manner, allowing the boat to pass unimpeded.
In such a blink of an eye, everyone has passed through half of the floating corpse array, and there is only about the last fifty meters left before landing on the "Fairy Mountain".
But at this time.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"
The body of water he had just passed through was churning up even bigger waves, and even the powerful vortex that Wu Liang created out of thin air using his water-bending technique was greatly affected by this.
"?!"
Wu Liang looked back subconsciously.
He knew better than anyone that this movement was not caused by him.
As for those bugs, the largest one seen so far is only as thick as an adult man's arm. Although the length is hard to say, the size and strength of this bug are not enough to cause such a big wave.
"Everyone, hold on tight!"
After seeing the huge waves, the unstoppable water flow hit the boat from behind. Wu Liang used water-bending techniques to stabilize the water as much as possible while reminding everyone.
"Wow——!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boat was already swaying high in the current, and then quickly fell down, hitting the water with a loud noise.
"Kacha!"
The two logs fixed around the hull could not withstand the force and broke.
Even the bottoms of the two connected boats had cracks, and the river water was rapidly seeping into the cabins along the cracks, making a desperate "gurgling" sound.
"Gentleman, it's bad! The boat is leaking!"
Cao Ni's beauty was also pale at this moment, and she was helpless and shouted to Wu Liang.
"Don't panic, please hold on. We are less than ten feet away from the shore. Everyone is rowing hard. As long as the boat can support us until we reach the shore, we will be safe!"
Wu Liang shouted loudly to everyone.
Although the huge wave just caused serious damage to their boat, it also pushed them forward a lot. This is the best news at the moment.
"Hurry! If you want to survive, come row with me!"
Yang Wanli also directly threw away the long pole in his hand, picked up an engineering shovel, and used it as a paddle to paddle through the water.
While talking.
Wu Liang was still looking back nervously... This glance didn't matter, Wu Liang immediately felt his scalp numb again.
They saw a raging current rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed dozens of meters away. It was definitely not a normal wave, but something under the water was approaching them quickly!
"Fuck!"
Wu Liangliang tensed up and cursed secretly.
He had to do something at this moment, otherwise once he was overtaken by that underwater thing... Wu Liang didn't know what would happen, but at this moment their boat could no longer hold up, and the thing destroyed the boat and made them all fall into it.
In the water, the consequences will be disastrous!
Faced with such a desperate situation, Wu Liang's mind raced.
Fortunately, after what happened just now, a glimmer of inspiration quickly appeared in his mind.
Immediately, he used water control to control the river water behind the hull to create waves. This wave was more than three meters high, slightly larger than the wave he had just endured.
Under normal circumstances, even the most experienced sailors are unwilling to withstand such waves, especially if it is a small fishing boat slightly larger than a canoe, even if the two small fishing boats are connected together and fixed with logs.
Increased stability also prevents people from being able to withstand such huge waves.
But at this moment Wu Liang can no longer care about so much.
He only knows one thing now, that is, they must leave this body of water as soon as possible, otherwise they may encounter even more terrifying things... especially the thing that caused the Yellow River to stir up a storm just now. Although it has not yet seen its true form,
But it was not difficult for Wu Liang to imagine how terrifying it was. It was probably not something he was qualified to contend with!
"Everyone, hold on tight!"
Wu Liang shouted again.
The boat, which was already in danger, once again swayed high. This time Wu Liang even controlled the river water at the bottom of the boat to add some force to the boat, making it swing higher.
"well--!"
The boat flew straight up, and everyone couldn't help but scream in surprise, and even felt the obvious weightlessness.
next moment.
"Peng!"
With a loud noise, the boat fell into the water again.
This time it was not so lucky.
"Kacha!"
In addition to the immediate breakage of the surrounding logs, the boat also split into pieces instantly and turned into a pile of fragments floating on the water.
Then everyone fell into the water.
Fortunately, Wu Liang's plan did not cause any accidents. They landed less than three meters away from the river bank. There was already a superficial conversation here.
To be continued...
