Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 86 Situation

"My lord, the younger one is called Xu Wu, who is from Yongnu County. I was sent to Moling by the governor a month ago to explore the terrain. The younger one can lead you guys."

The person on board was a middle-aged man in his 40s. After seeing Zhang Chao, the captain of the Youzhou, he quickly identified himself.

"Oh? You are familiar with the terrain here, so tell me where we are now." Zhang Chao took out a map and asked Xu Wu.

"My lord, our current location is here, sixty miles away from Moling City." Xu Wu pointed to a section of the Yangtze River on the map.

"Can you find out the location of Sun Quan's navy?" Zhang Chao asked Xu Wu.

"My lord, the villain is incompetent, and I didn't find out the location of Sun Quan's navy."

Xu Wuchao and Zhang Chao said: "However, I have found out that Sun Quan has blocked the main channel of the Yangtze River in the Moling section. If you want to move forward, you must cross the Jiajiang River." Xu Wu pointed to the location of the map and said: "Sun Quan is in Jiajiang. Jiang has deployed a large number of warships, and I am afraid it will be difficult to fight."

Jiajiang is a pan-shaped river formed next to the Yangtze River. (Remove the two dots in the middle of the word "Van".)
This river is more than 20 kilometers long, but only 500 meters wide. If you encounter an ambush here, it will be more dangerous than on the main channel of the Yangtze River.

"Jiajiang? Don't be afraid, let's meet it for a while." Xu Wu said confidently.

The reason why he is confident is mainly due to the strength of the Youzhou.

Youzhou, not only has the super attack power of [-] artillery pieces, but also has underwater propellers that allow Youzhou to avoid enemy attacks quickly and flexibly.

The most important thing is that the Youzhou ship is covered with a layer of steel plate several millimeters thick. Even if the enemy bombards it with cannons, it may not be able to damage it.

Zhang Chao has reason to believe that no one can defeat such a ship.

The Youzhou continued to sail upstream, perhaps because it had received news that there was no longer any merchant ship on the entire Yangtze River waterway.

But sometimes, occasionally, some boats docked at the Yangtze River ferry can be seen, but there are no people on board.

A few hours later, the Youzhou finally arrived at Moling.

In fact, according to Sun Quan's plan, the enemy would not be allowed to come under his nose, and the enemy should be intercepted in the Guangling section.

However, unexpectedly, the speed of the Youzhou was too fast, which prevented many people from reacting.

In order not to startle the snake, Sun Quan's navy could only let the Youzhou go.

Fortunately, Sun Quan had already made several preparations before this.

When the Youzhou was about ten miles away from Moling City, the people on the Youzhou found that the way to the west had indeed been blocked.

A few huge iron chains strung a dozen ships in a row and blocked the entire main channel of the Yangtze River. If you want to move on, you have to go to the relatively "narrow" Jiajiang River.

"Brother, what should we do now? Do we want to continue on the Jiajiang River?" Someone asked Zhang Chao, the captain of the Youzhou.

"Of course, I want to see what they want to do." Zhang Chao looked at some people on the shore who were watching them furtively and said.

At this time, on both sides of the Yangtze River, many people are quietly watching the Youzhou.

Perhaps knowing that Youzhou's ship has a weapon that can hit very far, no one dares to blatantly observe from the shore, it seems a bit sneaky.

Under Zhang Chao's order, the Youzhou quickly entered Jiajiang.

.........

At the same time, on an unknown hill on one side of the Yangtze River, Sun Quan, about 30 years old and dressed in rich clothes, was secretly observing the Youzhou ship entering Jiajiang with a telescope produced in Youzhou.

This kind of telescope is not for sale in Youzhou, and I don't know how he got it.

Beside Sun Quan, surrounded by a group of civil servants and military generals, they were also silently watching the huge Youzhou, which was emitting black smoke.

"This boat is really big, and it runs really fast."

After a while, Sun Quan said in a rather admiring tone.

When the others heard Sun Quan's admiring tone, they were embarrassed and didn't know what to say. They couldn't praise the boat, could they?This is an enemy ship.

"This boat seems to have no sails, oars and no one to move it, and I don't know how it sails." Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Quan said to himself.

"My lord, I think the reason why this boat can run so fast has something to do with the place where the smoke is coming out of it." Someone boldly answered.

"Very likely." Sun Quan nodded, and then said with some hope: "It would be great if such a good ship can be used by me."

"My lord, don't worry, the other side of the Jiajiang River has been blocked. As long as the boat goes deep into the Jiajiang River, the iron chain will be pulled up behind it to block its escape. At that time, the boat will be blocked in the Jiajiang River." Be the turtle in the urn so it will be captured by us."

"I hope so." Sun Quan nodded.

The Youzhou was sailing in the Jiajiang River, not knowing that it had entered a trap.

The width of the Jiajiang River is nearly twice as narrow as the main channel of the Yangtze River. It is only 500 meters wide, but it is wide enough for the Youzhou, which has a hull width of less than [-] meters.

The Youzhou, which has underwater propellers, can turn around and escape in a small radius when it encounters danger.

This is why Zhang Chao dared to leave the team alone with only one ship, the Youzhou.

Just when the Youzhou came to Moling alone.

In the back, Youzhou's gunboat fleet finally came to the Yangtze River in the upper reaches of Guangling.

"Master Captain, do you want to pull the iron chain now?"

Seeing that all the dozens of ships from Youzhou had passed by, some of his subordinates immediately asked the captain.

"Wait a little longer, wait for them to go further." The captain said to his subordinates.

Just as the downstream was about to pull up the iron chain to block the Yangtze River, a few tens of miles upstream, Wei Wen, the naval general, finally got the news that the Youzhou fleet had entered the encirclement.

"Give me an order, all boats enter the river."

Following Wei Wen's order, soon, countless rows of arson boats rushed out of the tributaries on both sides of the Yangtze River.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of arson ships were all ready.

At the same time, at a ferry downstream, the former captain finally gave the order to pull up the iron chain to block the Yangtze River.

At his word, hundreds of men began to winch the chains.

At the same time, more than a dozen boats also came out of a hidden river mouth, and then drove to the edge of the iron chain, and fixed the iron chain on the boat so that the iron chain would not sink and play a role in intercepting it.

"Brother, look ahead, there are enemy ships."

In the Youzhou fleet, someone used binoculars to spot the intercepting fleet of the upstream Sun Quan navy.

"What's the situation, what about the Youzhou? Isn't the Youzhou the one who scouted the way ahead?"

Seeing such a situation, Lin Yongsheng was a little annoyed.

"Brother, could something happen to the Youzhou?" someone said.

"Impossible, Youzhou can escape even if it is defeated by the enemy." Lin Yongsheng shook his head, he didn't believe that anything could happen to Youzhou.

The Youzhou, in addition to sixty cannons and iron armor protection, there are hundreds of gunners and soldiers on board.

Moreover, everyone on the ship was given a set of plate armor for protection. It is impossible for anyone to destroy such a powerful warship silently.

PS: The humble author begs for a recommendation ticket!

I said yesterday that I only had 25 collections the day before yesterday, and some readers said: The author's mouth is a deceiving ghost.

I am speechless, you Baidu "starting point data network", click on the starting point pc page, click on the history channel, find the recommended location of new books, and you can see the No.5 "traveling history".

Look at the data of this book again to see if there were only 25 collections the day before yesterday.

In addition, this recommendation only has nine books, but my ranking has fallen to No.5. This is too miserable. You must vote for me, otherwise I will... I will...

In addition, I would like to thank the book friends of "Rules of the World" for their support of [-] coins.
