==== Side Carry ====

The training cut down their losses in bridge runs but Kaladin didn't feel it was enough. They started practicing carrying the bridge sideways so they could use it as a shield from the arrows.{{ref|b|twok|c|30}} This, however, undermined the strategy of the army in the [[Tower]] and caused the army to lose the battle.{{ref|b|twok|c|32}} As punishment, Kaladin was strung up on the side of a building facing east during a [[highstorm]] to be judged by the [[Stormfather]].{{ref|b|twok|c|34}} During the highstorm he had a vision of an inhuman, smiling face of darkness that was as large as he could see.{{ref|b|twok|c|35}} His [[Surgebinding]] abilities allowed Kaladin to survive the highstorm but he was still severely injured.{{ref|b|twok|c|38}} It took him ten days to recover, which was found to be miraculous and people started calling him Stormblessed again.{{ref|b|twok|c|40}} Lamaril was executed and his replacement Brightlord [[Matal]]'s wife, Brightness Hashal, informed Kaladin that Bridge Four would always work in chasm duty from then on. Kaladin realized that the bridgemen were bait to the [[Parshendi]] and knowing no matter how much they cut their losses it would never be enough, he proposed that they escape and started training the Bridge Four as spearmen.{{ref|b|twok|c|43}}
