Chapter 295
"Stand firm!"
When the team marched to the center position in front of a row of flags, the long line stopped instantly with the officer's order.
"Dropping off the horse and line up!"
Xu Chen turned over and dismounted, Gu Jufeng and others all dismounted. Three different teams of spearmen, archers and prisoners were quickly lined up.
At this time, the hunter teams of all the tribes participating in the conference had already been lined up in order, and they all looked at Xu Chen and the twin little witch with warm eyes.
Xu Chen walked to the front of the hunter team, with his legs and hands on his back.
"stand at attention!"
"Bang!"
All hunter teams stood at the same time, holding spears, bows and arrows and other weapons, looking up at the front with their heads raised their chests. Even the hunter teams of the tribes belonging to the Gonghuo Alliance, which had not officially participated in military training, lined up with them.
The scene was silent and extremely quiet.
"This year's witch priest was held in the Ba tribe. As the master, I welcome everyone to attend this event on behalf of the Ba tribe. I believe everyone has heard of the hunting competition and the next gathering arrangements, so I will not explain. In order to ensure the fairness and justice of the hunting competition, each tribe selects ten people to participate in the competition. The teams that have been selected by each department should go to the front of the flag. Please follow the orders and leave!"
"Abide by the order!"
Accompanied by Xu Chen's orders, a majestic answer came from the tribes, and then young and strong hunters kept coming out and soon stood in line in front of the flags of the tribes.
Including the Ba tribe, ten people also walked out and stood in line in front of the clan flag behind Xu Chen.
The fifteen teams of the two alliances have a total of 150 people. Except for the Gonghuo clan, the other tribes of the Gonghuo clan do not have tribe flags, but this does not affect the seriousness of the queue at all. More than a hundred people line up, and the distance is dozens of meters away, all of them are very erect and stand at attention, and the atmosphere becomes more enthusiastic.
"Everyone, because this year's hunting ground is placed on the other side of the river, the terrain is unfamiliar, the situation is complicated, and crossing the river is full of dangers. If you don't want to participate, you can withdraw. If you change it to someone else, you will set off after three times. At that time, anyone will have to abide by the competition discipline. If you are afraid of quitting in the middle, you will not receive the blessing of the great witch and will lose the protection of the gods in the future. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
More than a hundred people yelled in unison, and the sounds shocked the entire valley echoed from all sides.
The horn sounded quickly for the first time, but no hunters in all the tribes left, and everyone looked eager to try and couldn't wait.
After Xu Chen's competition arrangement discussion was issued last night, the military leaders of each tribe will conduct a round of careful selection and arrangement after returning to the tribe.
Almost all tribes that came this year have enough people and want to work hard in the hunting competition.
After all, since last year, three winning teams will be selected in the annual hunting competition and three tribal warriors will be elected to receive the blessings of the Great Witch. With more opportunities, they will naturally be more interested in participating.
What's more, this year is the first year to hold a hunting competition for the Ba people, and the face of the Dawu and Xu Chen is worth a lot of money.
Even the Hu tribe, whose number is similar to that of the Ba tribe before, has almost all adult men. This year, there are nearly twenty people in total. In the past, they sent only about ten people, which is as low as the Ba tribe every year.
Although the Gonghuo Alliance is far apart, all tribes also want to come to see the world, and at the same time express their admiration for the Ba people, bringing a lot of people.
If there are too many people, it will naturally be very smooth to choose. What's more, the rewards provided by the Ba people are also very generous, so all the participating hunters were very enthusiastic, and the number of calls rang three times, and no team left the middle.
"Very good. It seems that you are the bravest hunters carefully selected by various tribes. I look forward to bringing you an unparalleled and exciting competition to everyone. Now I would like to invite two great witches to pray for you, and ask the gods to give you courage and strength, Wuga!"
"Wuga~~"
The audience shouted and cheered.
The twin little witches surrounded his Majesty and slowly walked to the hollow, holding up his staff and began to sing the ancient witch prayers.
Apart from the clothes, the two sisters are almost exactly the same. They grew up together and studied with the great witch since childhood. The sound is as crisp and melodious as it is, and the dance movements are exactly the same. Therefore, they not only look pleasing to the eye, but also make people feel a youthful and lively that they have never seen before, which is unforgettable to see.
Xu Chen's eyes flashed with light as he stood beside him.
I never thought that the twin sisters danced so well. Although their figures had not yet grown, the tenderness and tenderness of this girl showed a completely different charm.
For the first time, he discovered that the little mother savage also had such a youthful and cute side.
So his belief in being a single dog was shaken again without shame.
The little mother savage cousin had already made him break the rules. In fact, after he accepted one savage, his resistance to other mother savages became less and less.
Especially a girl with unique identity and charm like the twin little witch, she looked at her with a temptation that was far beyond the uniform, which made him suddenly have some random thoughts and unable to control her.
"His Majesty the Witch King, blessings are over!"
The little witch sister's voice woke him back from the temptation of uniforms in her mind, and realized that the blessing ceremony had ended.
"Oh, OK!"
Xu Chen quickly took his eyes back from the two sisters, turned over and pointed at the direction of the river valley mouth and shouted: "Ring the horn, go!"
"Woo~Woo~Woo~~~"
Gu blows the golden horn in his hand.
“Woo~~”
All the participating tribes also plucked flags and roared.
The Ba hunters were still lined up in open-air formations, surrounded by the twin little witches, Xu Chen and others and headed towards the entrance of the valley. The remaining tribal teams followed one after another, lined up in long queues, like a long snake, setting off along the river beach.
The distance from the valley station to the pier at Dahekou is nearly ten miles away and it takes more than an hour to walk.
Therefore, after setting off, Xu Chen arranged for the navy commander Ju to take a few hunters to set out first to prepare rafts and tools, while the others walked slowly, set off from the rising sun, and by the time they arrived at the dock, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning.
The six rafts have been re-tied into three large rafts in pairs, and the three rafts are connected together to form an extended raft. After the combination is completed, they are like a piece of flat ground floating in the river beside.
This is a way that Xu Chen thought of crossing the river as soon as possible after arranging the hunting ground last night.
If we follow the previous training method of crossing the river, almost every raft is sailor and hunter.
But most people who participate in hunting do not know how to row, and there is definitely not enough time to train temporarily, so they can only change their thinking.
During the Three Kingdoms period, in order to defeat Cao Cao's 800,000 troops, Sun and Liu's coalition forces offered a plan for Prime Minister Cao. Both sides were very happy. Cao's army solved the situation where soldiers from the north were not familiar with water wars, while Eastern Wu obtained a once-in-a-lifetime attack opportunity. Everything was ready, but only the east wind was needed. This was why the most exciting plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms borrowed the east wind.
So for land ducks, it is not impossible to take a boat. To solve this problem, just make the boat bigger.
After all, it is just a simple and crude way to do a miracle.
This huge raft has a capacity of more than thirty-six people.
The only disadvantage is that the movement speed is slow after getting bigger, the resistance in the water increases countless times, and greater thrust is required to cross the river.
But at the moment, I can only take one step at a time.
As long as there are enough people paddling, and a person will be arranged to help push it, I believe there will be no big problems crossing the river, but it may float further downstream and take more time.
All the tribes that followed were stunned when they saw this huge super raft without friends.
However, Xu Chen did not explain much, but directly ordered a group of hunters who were familiar with paddling and boating to prepare. Some of them boarded the boat and rowed the pole, and some went into the water to push the raft directly.
After getting ready, Xu Chenze ordered all the teams crossing the river to arrange and board the raft in order.
After fifty people came up, seeing that the raft could not bear the pressure and most of it sank into the water, he ordered the first raft to start crossing the river.
With the sound of trumpets, the flag was waving. Under the nervous and excited gaze of thousands of people, the huge raft slowly left the dock amid the shouts of boatmen and sailors, slowly drifted out of the river beside the river bench, and then entered the torrent area under the push of a group of people.
The hunters from the five tribes who participated in the competition were squatting neatly on the raft as required, holding tightly at the gaps in the wood or the ropes fixed on it. As the raft was bumpy, it was inevitable that ghosts and wolves howled, but more of them were excited. Yohoohoo and Yohoohoo screams came one after another, and a group of excitement.
The passing of crossing the river is no different from what Xu Chen speculated.
The speed was very slow, it took twenty minutes, and it drifted downstream for nearly two hundred meters before slowly landing.
But the advantage is obvious, that is, there are no twists and turns in the middle, and it floats over like a flat ground. Even the hunter who helped push in the water did not show any danger. He grabbed the edge of the raft and rushed through the torrent area without any danger.
"Yew~~"
Seeing the raft on the opposite side, the men, women, young and old around the river berth gave warm cheers.
The same was true for a group of hunters who were on the shore. After dismantling their weapons from the raft, some of them went ashore to watch, and some of them helped push the raft upstream. Twenty minutes later, the raft began to row back. After the load of dozens of people this time, the raft crossed the river much faster, and it took more than ten minutes to cross the river.
It took nearly an hour to go.
