Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Text Chapter 1414: The Blocked River Crossing Plan

"Hmph, let me weigh you Zhou Yu's weight." Guo Jia looked at Huainan from a distance and said with a sneer. After freeing his hands, Guo Jia could finally put his weight on Zhou Yu who was facing him.

Soon Zhou Yu felt a kind of restraint, not the kind of restraint that warships would be slightly suppressed by the trebuchet in the past, but a kind of chaotic situation that could not be perfectly controlled, which led to troubles in the layout itself.

"Guo Jia is not simple, but in essence, you have to go through the Huaihe River if you want to deal with me." Zhou Yu looked at the map and said silently to himself.

Although Guo Jia began to mobilize Liu Bei's southern troops, the pressure on Zhou Yu's defense line has increased a lot, but after all, he has been prepared for a long time, and it is not something that Guo Jia can break through.

Even before Xuzhou Chen Deng sent troops, Li Yan, who had originally stationed troops in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, had preemptively locked the battlefield in Xuzhou, and did not give Xuzhou Chen Deng a chance to cross the river.

"Report, General, our scouts have discovered that Guan Yu's army has a tendency to move their camp." Wen Pin came to report to Zhou Yu in person, and now he dare not underestimate this young man who is ten years younger than him.

"Migrate to the upper reaches of the Huai River?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.

"There is indeed such a trend." Wenpin nodded and said.

"How far is our camp from the nearest place with gentle water?" Zhou Yu asked. Although he knew the distance roughly, it was difficult for him to know the exact distance.

"There are more than thirty miles." Wen Pin answered this question after a little thought.

"In other words, some warships are dispatched to the upper reaches of the Huai River. There is a valley mouth in the upper reaches, and the distance between the two banks is no more than two miles. However, the current is too fast, and even a large ship is not easy to drive. However, after passing that place, the current is almost the same as here. " Zhou Yu gave orders cautiously, the width of the Huai River was very uneven, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow.

It is reasonable to say that passing through the narrow place is the best choice, but the fact is not the case. On the one hand, the water flow in the narrow place is turbulent and the undercurrent is surging. Not to mention landlubbers like Guo Jia.

On the other hand, even though the narrow place was far from Zhou Yu's camp, it was too obvious, so although the possibility of forced passage was unlikely, Zhou Yu would not forget to send someone to patrol the place that was clearly threatening.

"Here!" Wen Pin clasped his fists and immediately sent five large ships and a general through the narrow opening according to Zhou Yu's arrangement, to follow up upstream.

"Be careful when passing through. The Huaihe River is turbulent there, and the two banks are protruding. The big ships going upstream can mainly monitor and harass. Don't get too close to the north bank. The river there is wide and accidents are easy to happen. Report the situation in time." Zhou Yu urged. , and then let Wenpin leave.

[Although I don't know what you want to pay attention to, but at the narrow mouth of the Huai River, the current is fast, and it is easy to capsize without a big boat. I will transfer a few more boats to keep an eye on you. I want to see what tricks you have. ] Zhou Yu said with a sneer in his heart.

Guan Yu looked at the rushing river at the narrow mouth of the Huai River, because it narrowed suddenly, the flow rate of the water here far exceeded Guan Yu's estimate.

"Feng Xiao, although I don't understand the navy, this is not a place you can pass through." Guan Yu said, frowning as he watched the rushing Huai Shui.

"Soldiers will definitely not be able to pass, just the speed of the water..." Guo Jia rolled his eyes, thinking about taking a boat from here, you must be thinking too much, turned his head and shouted at Zhou Cang behind Guan Yu, "Yuan Fu, jump down, swim Take a look at two hundred steps."

Zhou Cang didn't know what Guo Jia's words meant at all, and by the way, he didn't think about why something happened to him suddenly, but he still carried out Guo Jia's order without any compromise, put the weapon on his back, and jumped straight away. In the Huai River, he began to swim vigorously.

Guan Yu didn't understand what it meant at first, but when he saw Zhou Cang swimming, he couldn't help but feel that he was moving in the direction of the water, and he immediately understood what Guo Jia meant.

"Yuanfu is back." Guan Yu called Zhou Cang back without a second word, and the river exploded, and Zhou Cang jumped onto the river bank soon.

"That's right, the water flow here is so exaggerated, and after a period of time when the rain falls, the flow rate of the water flow here will be even more exaggerated." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Since we can't cross the river from here, why don't we choose a place downstream with a gentle current to try to grab the beach?" Guan Yu asked puzzled. It's gone in a few breaths.

"We can think of it, and Zhou Yu can also think of it, so his big boat has been patrolling all the time, and the river is wide in the downstream where the current is gentle. He patrols the river, and we don't even have the means to restrain him." Guo Jia said helplessly, Zhou Yu All the methods that can be used normally are blocked.

"The problem is, if we can't cross the Huai River, there will be no change in essence." Guan Yu frowned again and again. He felt that the two of them had no way to clean up Zhou Yu on the other side of the river.

Of course, Guan Yu also knew that in the upstream where the water surface width was not too exaggerated, his trebuchets and bed crossbows were also useful, but he couldn't cross the Huaihe River, so this kind of battle was harassment at best.

What's more, if the opponent is more cautious, it may not even count as harassment. After all, the development trend of warships in the Central Plains is the city wall. may sink...

What's more, the city wall is a dead object, and the ship is movable. Be careful, and it is not so easy to be hit at a distance. After all, it is not a naval battle. The attack is hitting.

As for the shore-to-shore artillery of the later generations, it has not been upgraded to such an exaggerated level. Even in this period, the trebuchet carried by the ship is stronger than the trebuchet on the shore, at least it is much easier to change the angle.

"This is true, but we still hope that Zhou Yu will suffer a little by moving the camp here. If it is in the downstream, we can only hope that Xingba will come back." Guo Jia looked helpless. Cook without rice.

If he couldn't cross the river, Guo Jia couldn't use it even if he had the means to reach the sky, so he could only stare at Zhou Yu across the river.

"So, you already have a plan?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't show any joy, his tone was obviously different from before.

"Zhou Yu probably already thought that I would cross the Huaihe River, but he couldn't think of how I would cross it. He probably thought more about waiting for me in the camp on the opposite side of the Huaihe River!" Guo Jia shook his hand with a light smile. Folding fan, Zhou Yu thought him too simple.
