Chapter 1414: The Blocked River Crossing Plan

"Hmph, it's up to me to weigh you Zhou Yu's catties." Guo Jia looked at Huainan and said with a sneer, after freeing his hands, Guo Jia could finally put his weight on Zhou Yu opposite.

Soon Zhou Yu felt a kind of restraint, not the kind of restraint that the warship would be slightly suppressed by trebuchets in the past, but a kind of situation chaos that could not be perfectly controlled, causing the layout of himself to begin to fall into trouble in the game.

"Guo Jia is not simple, but, in essence, you can't get around one thing if you want to deal with me, that is, you have to pass through the Huai River." Zhou Yu looked at the map and muttered to himself silently.

Although after Guo Jia began to mobilize Liu Bei's southern troops, the pressure on Zhou Yu's defense line increased a lot, but after all, he had been prepared, and it was not something that Guo Jia could break if he said it.

didn't even wait for Xuzhou Chen Deng to send troops, Li Yan, who was originally stationed in the lower reaches of the Huai River, had already preemptively locked the battlefield in Xuzhou itself, and did not give Xuzhou Chen Deng a chance to cross the river at all.

"Report, general, our army scouts have found that Guan Yu's army has a tendency to move to the camp." Wen Ping personally came to report to Zhou Yu, and now he didn't dare to underestimate this young man who was ten years younger than him.

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

"There's a real trend." Wen Ping nodded and said.

"How far is our camp from the nearest place where the water is gentle?" Zhou Yu asked, although he also knew the distance roughly, but the exact distance was a little difficult for him.

"More than thirty miles." After a little thought, Wen Ping answered this question.

"In this case, transfer some warships to the upper reaches of Huaishui, there is a valley mouth upstream, and the distance between the two banks is only two miles, but the current is too turbulent, even if it is a big ship, it is not easy to drive, but after that place, the water flow is almost the same as here." Zhou Yu cautiously gave the order, and the width of Huaishui was very uneven, wide for a while, narrow for a while.

Originally, it stands to reason that passing through a narrow place is the best choice, but this is not the case, on the one hand, the water in the narrow place is turbulent, and the undercurrent is surging, even if the big boat on Zhou Yu's side wants to pass, you need to be cautious, not to mention Guo Jia's landlubber.

On the other hand, although the narrow place is far away from Zhou Yu's camp, because it is too obvious, although it is unlikely that it is impossible to force the crossing, but this kind of obvious threat, Zhou Yu will not forget to send people to inspect on time.

"Whoa!" Wen Ping hugged his fists and saluted, and immediately sent five big ships according to Zhou Yu's arrangement, and a general passed through the narrow mouth and went upstream to keep an eye.

"Be careful when passing, there is a turbulent water, and the two banks are prominent, the big ships going upstream can mainly monitor and harass, don't get too close to the north bank, the river is wide there is easy to have an accident, and report the situation in time." Zhou Yu admonished, and then let Wen Ping leave.

[Although I don't know what you want to pay attention to, but there is a narrow mouth in Huaishui, the current is turbulent, 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 Huaishui, because it was suddenly narrowed, and the flow speed of the water here far exceeded Guan Yu's estimate.

"Fengxiao, although I don't understand the navy, it's not a place to pass no matter how you look at it." Guan Yu looked at the rushing Huaishui and said with a frown.

"The soldier will definitely not be able to pass, just this current speed ......" Guo Jia rolled his eyes, if you want to take a boat from here, you must have thought too much, turned his head and shouted at Zhou Cang behind Guan Yu, "Yuanfu, jump down and swim two hundred steps to see." ”

Zhou Cang didn't know what Guo Jia meant by this, and by the way, he didn't think about how something happened to him suddenly, but he still carried out Guo Jia's order without discounting, put the weapon on his back, jumped directly into the Huai Shui, and began to swim hard.

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

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

"That's right, the water here is so exaggerated, and when the rain comes down for a while, the speed of the water here will be even more exaggerated." Guo Jia said with a grin.

"Since we can't cross the river from here, why don't we choose a place where the water is gentle downstream and try to grab the beach?" Guan Yu asked puzzledly, this water flow even Zhou Cang didn't know if he felt washed away, if this was an ordinary soldier, he would be washed away in a few breaths.

"We can think of it, and Zhou Yu can naturally think of it, so his big boat has been patrolling, and the river surface is wide where the downstream water is gentle, and he patrols on the river, and we don't even have the means to restrain it." Guo Jia said helplessly, Zhou Yu blocked all the normal methods that could be used.

"The problem is that if we can't cross the Huai River, nothing will change at all in essence." Guan Yu frowned again and again, he felt that the two of them didn't even have a way to clean up Zhou Yu on the other side of the river.

Of course, Guan Yu also knew that when he arrived at a place where the water surface width was not too exaggerated upstream, his trebuchet, bed crossbow and other things would also be useful, but he couldn't cross the Huai River, and this kind of battle was at most harassment.

What's more, if the other party is more cautious, it may not even be harassment, after all, the development trend of warships in the Central Plains is the city wall, although it is impossible to withstand a hundred attacks from a large trebuchet like the city wall, but it is impossible to sink one or two times......

What's more, the city wall is a dead thing, the ship is movable, be careful, and it is not so easy to be hit if you are far away, after all, it is not the kind of naval battle, the two sides chase and fight, and even unceremoniously fight against the attack from the opposite side.

As for the ship-to-shore guns of later generations, they have not yet been upgraded to such an exaggerated degree, and even in this period, the trebuchets carried by ships are stronger than those on the shore, at least it is much easier to change the angle.

"This is true, but we still have a little hope that Zhou Yu will suffer a little bit if we move the camp here, if it is downstream, we can only hope that Xingba will come back." Guo Jia looked helpless, there was no way, and it was difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

can't cross the river, even if there is a means to reach the sky, Guo Jia can't use it, so he can only stare at Zhou Yu across the river.

"So, you already have a plan?" Guan Yu's eyebrows moved, although he didn't show joy, it was obvious that his tone was different from before.

"Zhou Yu probably has thought that I want to cross the Huai River, but he can't think of how I want to cross it, he is probably thinking more about waiting for me in the camp on the other side of the Huai River!" Guo Jia chuckled and shook the folding fan in his hand, Zhou Yu thought he was too simple. (To be continued.) )
