Chapter 1009: The Great Wall Under Water
On the river, under the combination of fierce storms and stormy waves, Cao's ships struggled to sneak.
The ship moves horizontally, while the turbulent water moves vertically. Occasionally, a hundred-stone merchant ship was unlucky, and the hull of the ship was slanted by a strong wind, and it happened to encounter a big wave, and it was directly overturned.
In this case, unless you have at least a flawless underwater skill or special effect, you will definitely die if you fall overboard.
In less than an hour, tens of thousands of Cao's troops successfully crossed the river one after another, but at least 2,000 people died in the water. Cao Cao and [Helping the World] did not feel sorry for that little force, if they crossed the river with the [Lingyun Palace] armed, the number of casualties would definitely be more than that.
A small number of the troops who successfully crossed the river directly into the wilderness, and if the crossing failed, these horses could attack and sabotage behind Jiang Zhuo's defensive line. Most of the remaining men and horses were deployed and camped on the spot, leaving a strong stronghold on the other side of the Yangtze River.
Once the stronghold is successfully constructed, they can rest for a few days and then slowly cross the river. At that time, even if the [Lingyun Palace] braves the rain to attack, they can rely on their strongholds to defend, and it will not be a problem to defend for a few hours.
In the past few hours, the reinforcements on the other side have already been killed.
"Hanjiang will regret his decision!" On the north bank of the Yangtze River, after receiving the news from the gang on the other side, Du Hong couldn't help but complain about Jiang Zhuo. In his opinion, Jiang Zhuo has hardly made any wrong decisions since his debut, but today is the day he fell off the altar!
However, the deputy gang leader Fu Sheng Mingyue was a little hesitant, he always felt that Jiang Zhuo had a conspiracy, looking at the turbulent river, a spiritual light occasionally flashed in his mind, which made his heart sink. But when I think about it, I can't think of anything.
Heavy rain, heavy water, water attack! The possible means of the other party that Fusheng Mingyue could think of was to attack by water, but their people in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River had also been staring, and this rainstorm came too suddenly, it was impossible for the [Lingyun Palace] to arrange it in advance!
And it only took more than ten hours, and after Cao Jun crossed the river in a big way, everything was a foregone conclusion. A lot of things can be done in a dozen hours, but it is simply impossible to plan a water attack on the Yangtze River!
What's more, fire and water are ruthless. The Yangtze River is ruthless to Cao Jun, and of course to [Lingyun Palace]. If you want to build a dam to stop the water, what is that simple? And also in the case of strong currents.
When their high-level leaders held a meeting, they had considered Jiang Zhuo's ability to build an earthen wall, but when Jiang Zhuo was building a wall to intercept the Yellow Turban Army and Sun Ce, the quality of the earthen wall was simply worrying.
If it weren't for the presence of defenders at the top of the wall, a Yellow Turban soldier with a hoe as a weapon would have been able to easily dig up the earthen wall. After all, it was an earthen wall, not a stone wall.
Shaking her head, Fusheng Mingyue returned to her work. Boats crossing the river in such conditions are very particular. They had to use heavy ballast, and they decided to set off on the fly, and they didn't prepare anything, so they had to pick up rocks and dig up dirt along the coast to fill the tank.
And you can't pile it up at will, you must make the soil and rocks solid. These things are all tasks that Cao Cao directly distributed through the faction system, and some casual players who received the camp tasks were lazy, and when the ballast was not heavy enough, the ship would be easy to capsize.
Although these ships are not the assets of [Helping the World], they have their helpers on board, so the floating moon must always arrange for people to keep an eye on it. If a casual player disobeys the discipline, he will have to come forward to suppress it.
The deputy gang leader of the first overlord of the whole server is still very deterrent to scattered players. If people really want to investigate, it's not a joke to kill you back to level 0.
It's just that no one has noticed that the water level of the Yangtze River is rising faster and faster...
......
Jiang Zhuo, who was at the bottom of the river at this moment, had already received the news from the green snake. They discussed Jiang Zhuo's ability during the meeting, and did not think that the earthen wall had the ability to intercept the flow of the Yangtze River.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhuo smiled, "Really, poverty limits your imagination..."
One earthen wall, two earthen walls, five earthen walls, or even ten earthen walls could indeed not stop such a turbulent flow of water. In addition, the bearing capacity of the earthen wall is also limited, and it is easy to collapse if it is stacked directly on top of it.
But who stipulated that the ability of [Five Elements Si Tu] must be used to build a wall?
At this time, under the surface of the river, a huge pyramid is standing proudly under the water. Jiang Zhuo directly used an earthen wall condensed by the [Five Elements Si Tu] as a stone, and wanted to build a stepped super-large dam!
Under the wash, the front of the pyramid facing the current is constantly destroyed, but the structure of the pyramid is so stable that it is equivalent to two right-angled trihedron put back to back, and the triangle is the most stable structure.
More than an hour had passed, and Jiang Zhuo had built the pyramid to a height of 20 meters and a width of more than 400 meters. The physical strength consumed exceeded 3,000 points, and if it weren't for the physical strength provided by the ubiquitous scattered players on the north bank of the Yangtze River, he would have fallen long ago.
Cao Cao brought tens of millions of players into Jingzhou, and suddenly the population of Jingzhou became full, full of people, Jiang Zhuo didn't need to waste time looking for it, [Tingfeng Tang] would send the location of the nearby crowded area.
After another four hours, Cao's army had already built two camp walls with a length of 10 miles on the south bank, and hundreds of various fortifications had been built. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the [Lingyun Palace] were late.
[Trapping the camp], Yan Liang, Lu Su, Lu Xun, and the four armies braved the rain to come nearby, lined up in four directions, and faintly formed a semi-encirclement of the Cao army's stronghold. However, the 53,000-strong army did not have an advantage in the face of the 60,000 or 70,000 people in the Cao army's stronghold.
Cao Jun became nervous, and one by one he was also on guard in the rain.
The soldiers and horses on Jiang Zhuo's side all wore robes and found woods and other areas where they could barely shelter from the rain. However, Cao Jun is on guard in the open air, and in less than a few hours, Cao Jun's physical strength and hidden health index will definitely drop significantly, which is all a drain on the enemy.
Underwater, Jiang Zhuo has successfully built an underwater Great Wall that stretches for 4 miles in a narrow area on the Yangtze River. The underwater Great Wall did not rise above the water, but it did raise the water level several meters above the water.
The water level of the Yangtze River has exceeded the normal water level, and a large amount of water has been squeezed out of the banks by the underwater Great Wall. Once the pyramid collapses instantly, the terrifying amount of water that spreads to both sides of the river will rewind and rush downstream in one go!
