Just when Lu Xun calmly withdrew to the south bank of the Han River, Zhang Renke, who was a suspicious soldier for Lu Xun on the north bank, was not so easy, Sun Li was not easy to deal with, and the two thousand soldiers gradually formed an encirclement network to encircle the place where Zhang Ren was stationed, and Cao Xiu also sent Wei Xu to lead his troops to encircle and suppress.

Under the extremely strong mobility of the Bingzhou cavalry, Zhang Ren had almost nothing to hide, so he had to hide in the mountains to avoid its edge, but fortunately, he attacked the grain convoy of the Wei army twice, and did not burn all the grain, but took part of it for his own use, which avoided the dilemma of starving to death in the mountains.

"There are many fierce generals in the Wei army, and there are even more good generals, even if the back road is cut off in a short period of time, there will be no soldiers fleeing, is it possible that our army really wants to attack the camp?" The intelligence of the past two days poured cold water on Lu Meng, and the Cao Xiu camp next to Hanshui did not see any chaos, but was stationed to a certain extent.

"Is the flood season of Ziming Hanshui approaching?" Qiao Ren did not answer Lü Meng's question directly, but instead asked Lü Meng about the flood season of Hanshui.

"Well, now that the summer flood season has arrived, Hanshui is the flood season from mid-April to the end of September. How? Taiwei wants to learn Guan Yu? No way, no way! Lu Meng immediately shook his head and said, not to mention that the flood season has just arrived and the water is seriously insufficient, but that Cao Xiu's camp is not located in the valley, but the slope is far less flooded than Yu Ban.

"Who said that Lone was going to drown him, but he couldn't do it again, the Wei army had already taken precautions against water attacks, and Lone just had to wait for the water army of the Metropolitan Governor to go up the river." Qiao Ren said to Lu Meng with a smile.

Hanshui, also known as Shuishui, originates in the southeast of Hanwang Mountain, flows through Hanzhong and Ankang, enters the northwest of Jingbei after leaving Hanzhong, and joins the Danjiang River, the longest tributary of the Hanjiang River, at the mouth of the Danjiang River in Nanjun. Then it continues to flow southeast, passing through Xiangyang, Jingmen, Tianmen, Qianjiang, Xiantao, Xiaogan, Hanchuan and other places in Jingzhou. It joins the Yangtze River in the northern part of Jiangxia County.

The Dongting naval army of Eastern Wu could go up from the Shuojiang River in Jiangxia to the Han River to Xiangyang, and Qiao Ren was waiting for the naval army of Dongting Lake. However, Qiao Ren was worried that the ships of Dongwu were too big and too many, and if the flow of the Han River was not enough, there would be a danger of running aground, but Qiao Ren was obviously too worried.

"If it's my army, maybe they can arrive tomorrow." When Lu Meng heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed, because there are not many water troops under Lu Meng's jurisdiction now, so he has to wait until the Chaohu water army arrives to enter the Han River together.

"Good! As soon as the navy arrives, our army can block the river to block the supply of the Wei army, and we can also use the bed crossbows on the building ships to shoot the enemy camp day and night, and our army can also set up a moon formation. "Qiao Ren's Moon Formation, as a rare combination of land and water in the late Han Dynasty, and with the unique crossbow and bed crossbow of Eastern Wu, Qiao Ren has won the reputation of a formation. Lu Meng has also studied.

"I see, as long as there is a letter on the river, Cao Xiu's army will be chaotic."

If it was just that the pontoon bridge was burned, the Wei army might not have to be nervous, and just set up a pontoon bridge. But if the river is sealed by Wu Jun's sailors, there is no way. The entire ship of the Eastern Wu Building was equipped with a large number of crossbow carts on the side chord, and the long-range strike ability was extremely strong, while the Wei army only had bows and arrows, and it was difficult to fight back and even could only be beaten passively. As for the power of the Thunderbolt car machine is too poor, when the Wei army assembles it, I am afraid that there will not even be any scum left. After all, the range of the Giant Crossbow is not as close as that of the Thunderbolt, and the Thunderbolt takes time to assemble, and it can move freely like a building ship.

The city and the river were one, and the Southern Song Dynasty relied on such a defensive system to block the invincible Mongol army for more than half a century. Even the later Kublai Khan's battle to destroy the Song Dynasty had to be fought hard for three or four years until the trained naval army came out. In order to attack Xiangyang by land and water, the Mongol army before this was attacked by the naval army on the Han River and could not attack the city properly.

Although the Wei army was still a little better than the Mongol army, at least it was not all landlubbers. But the good ones are limited, and there is now only a naval army left in Soochow above the river (Yangtze River). The upper reaches of the Han River are now in Liu Bei's hands, and only Shangyong can enter the water. However, how long has the Wei army occupied the three counties of Shangyong, it is too late to build a water army, and the leaders of Cao Wei may not have realized the role of the water army.

The importance of Xiangyang does not need to be repeated, if Xiangyang is lost, Jiangling is in danger, Jiangling is in danger; The danger of the Yangtze River is not enough to fear. The Yangtze River is no longer a natural risk, and after the door is opened, a large area of land is unsafe, which directly threatens the capital Jianye. Therefore, all the things that Qiao Ren can use in this battle, whether they have been researched or not, are all used for use, such as water and land coordination, and mixed infantry and cavalry operations.

"Governor, Ren still has something for you to do." Qiao Ren held a stone in his hand and said to Lu Meng.

"What?"

"Does Ziming know about the Battle of Guandu?" Qiao Ren This is also nonsense, how could Lu Meng not know about the battle of Guandu, but Qiao Ren must have said this for a reason.

"I know, does the captain mean to build a wall or dig a tunnel?" Lu Meng's eyes rolled, ruled out the option of attacking the granary, and asked with two famous means when jumping the official crossing.

"Ground! But it's not a wall, it's a turret. At the time of the official crossing, Yuan Shao used nothing more than a bow and crossbow, so it was defeated by the thunderbolt with a longer range, and our army used a ballista and a bed crossbow, and the range was still above the thunderbolt. ”

"The little ones are full of sails!" On a huge and luxurious ship, Gan Ning stepped on the side of the ship and shouted loudly to his sailors, although these sailors were not his Jinfan Army, but they had been familiar with Gan Ning's style for many years.

"Hey! Get it on! ”

The building ship not only has a majestic appearance, but also a spear on the ship, a tree flag, a strict guard, and a strong attack and defense, just like a water fortress. The building ship that Gan Ning rode on was more than ten zhang high in five floors, and the number was Feiyun, which was the flagship of Gan Ning's command of the inland water war, and there was another flagship when he commanded the naval battle, although he had not had the opportunity to fight a naval battle.

"Governor! Zhou Dudu's flagship has caught up! At this time, a lieutenant ran to the bow of the boat and said to Gan Ning, who was posing.

"Nine-striped dragon? (Zhou Tai's bandit) the old boy is very fast! "It's been almost 16 years, Gan Ning has never taken a boat into the Han River and Xiangshui for 16 years, I think he was the first water thief to cross these two rivers." Small, work hard. ”

Almost two-thirds of the sailors who entered the Han River this time were fighting ships, and there were many ships and few boats, except for the ones brought by the frigates because of safety needs, the rest were at least two floors, because only two or more layers of fighting ships would be placed with ballistas. Qiao Ren's meaning was to use the building boat to erect a moving city wall on the Han River and sandwich Wei Junsheng in it.

Coupled with the earthen platform that Lü Meng was building, Cao Xiu's camp was sandwiched between the two city walls, and it was difficult to advance and retreat. And Lu Xun also burned his pontoon bridge, Cao Xiu lost the line of logistics supply, although he was repairing it at this time, but the Han River is wide and has to build dozens of pontoon bridges, and the number of ships needed is huge, although it is a small boat, but the ships on the front line of Fancheng have long been requisitioned by the Wei army, and now they can only be replaced by transporting and making rafts from farther away.

In view of the fact that Guan Yu once flooded the Seventh Army, Cao Pi's three-way army transferred the Han Water Army to the upper reaches to guard it at the beginning of its departure, so as to prevent the Wu army from using water meters.

"Report! Governor, the front found that the Wei army was building a pontoon bridge. ”

In fact, there is no need to report that Gan Ning, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw it from afar, at this time he didn't say a word, gestured with his hand in the air, and then said to his son Gan Mao: "Bring the bow." ”

Now it is the southeast wind, Gan Ning's fleet is going upwind, although it is against the current, but the speed is not slow, and in the blink of an eye, the Feiyun is only about 100 meters away from the Wei troops who are building pontoon bridges.

Gan Ning took the bow with one hand, led the bow and pulled the arrow in one go, the bow was like a full moon arrow like a meteor, only to hear a whoosh, a feather arrow as if it had eyes, and slammed into the chest of the Wei military captain who was in charge of overseeing the work, as the distance got closer and closer, the captain's face was full of fear and pain.

"It hurts!"

It turns out that killing people is also called pleasure! It seems that Gan Ning's hobby is really unique. With this arrow to take the lead, the rest of the sailors and soldiers led their bows and arrows, operated crossbow machines, and ballistas to carry out a miserable one-sided slaughter against the unprepared Wei army, and when the slaughter was about to end, the scouts of the Wei army arrived on horses that were almost exhausted, and when they saw the tragedy in front of them, they knew that they were late, so they went to the camp regardless of it.

The speed of the horse is not slower than that of the building boat, but the horse needs to rest, and the building boat is at a constant speed, so Gan Ning's scouts along the Shuojiang River are not clear, on the one hand, of course, it is also because most of the south bank is still the territory of the Wu army.
