Chapter 931
Since Guan Yu received Liu Bei's letter in advance, Guan Yu was very cautious about patrolling the Liaohe River during this period.

Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses entered the border of Liaohe, and Guan Yu received the news.

It's just that Chen Qingzhi's marching route made Guan Yu very distressed. At first, Guan Yu only thought that Chen Qingzhi was marching from the interior of Liaodong at most, and came to confront him.But he didn't expect Chen Qingzhi to spend a lot of time detouring into the Liaohe River from the sea.

When Chen Qingzhi's troops entered Liaohe, Guan Yu lost his advantage. He had to deal not only with Xue Rengui's troops on land, but also with Chen Qingzhi's troops on the river.

You can't look at the beginning and the end!

At the same time, Xue Rengui also led his troops to the south. Although Guan Yu was not a top commander, he also knew that Xue Rengui was going to join Chen Qingzhi, and planned to come in to deal with him by land and water.

Therefore, Guan Yu quickly gathered soldiers and horses from various water villages.Rushed to the southern water village closest to the Liaohe waters for defense.If Chen Qingzhi led his troops to attack, he only needed to defend the camp. If he held the camp, Chen Qingzhi would not be able to welcome Xue Rengui's troops across the river, and would not be able to put pressure on Xiangping.

In the evening of that day, it began to rain lightly in the sky. Guan Yu had lived in Liaohe for a long time and was very familiar with the climate of Liaohe, so the rain was within his expectation.

Standing by the water village, Guan Yu watched the raindrops fall on the river, causing ripples, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses came from a long way away, and they are not familiar with the water conditions of our Liaohe River. It will rain again tonight." , although the water level will not rise, but Chen Qingzhi dare not act rashly, I am afraid that he will not dare to attack easily today and tomorrow. I only hope that God can rain a few more times to relieve the pressure on our navy."

Even if Guan Yu is arrogant, he still hopes to get help from the heavens at this moment, after all, the current situation is not good for him.

Liu Bei was trapped in Xiangping, Zhang Fei was guarding Gao Xian, and Guan Yu was guarding Liaohe. Before Chen Qingzhi came, it was as stable as Mount Tai.But Chen Qingzhi also has a navy at the moment, and Guan Yu has no advantage at all.

Zhang Fei and Liu Bei still have a strong city to defend, but there are only water villages above the Liaohe River, and if they are not careful, they will be defeated.Liu Bei's success or failure depends entirely on Guan Yu. One can imagine how much pressure Guan Yu is now.

Guan Yu had no choice but to pray for heavy rain from the sky. If the heavy rain came and the Liaohe River was flowing rapidly, Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses would not be able to gain a foothold in the Liaohe River, but at least they would not be able to attack him.It's a pity that God didn't help him, the sky was clear and bright for several days, and it was hard to let it rain, but it was a drizzle, which had no effect, and could only hinder Chen Qingyi for two days at most.

Guan Yu stood in front of the stronghold with a heavy heart, and he didn't go back to rest until midnight.

However, to Guan Yu's surprise, Yu Yunwen was also on the expedition with Chen Qingzhi.Yu Yunwen is a first-class commander in history, good at water warfare, and able to understand astronomy and geography. Although he was away from Liaohe, he also saw the weather changes in Liaohe.

At this moment, Chen Qingzhi's navy and Xue Rengui's infantry were marching in the rain, heading towards his camp.

In the early morning of the next day, the light rain gradually stopped, and the sky gradually brightened after Yinshi, but due to the heavy rain.Thick fog shrouded the river.As a result, the entire river surface and the land area were hazy for several miles.

Even if two warships look at each other, it is difficult to see the situation on the other side.

At this moment, Chen Qingzhi's warship arrived at Guan Yu Water Village first.

Due to the wide surface of the river, Chen Qingzhi's warship sailed from the center of the river without encountering any hidden piles on the road.Moreover, the fog was so thick that Guan Yu's navy had no way of knowing the arrival of Chen Qingzhi's navy.Naturally, no navy came out to stop them.

However, although the heavy fog cleverly avoided the eyes and ears of Guan Yu's navy, Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses also did not know the location of Guan Yu's navy.

It's just that Chen Qingzhi pinched the time according to the distance.

Chen Qingzhi, Yu Yunwen, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others were on the same warship on the warship of the Zhongjun Army of Chen Qing.Everyone listened attentively, and they could faintly hear movement in front of them. They knew that they were not far from Guan Yu Water Village, only a few miles away.

Since Yu Yunwen was better at water warfare, Chen Qingzhi handed over the command to Yu Yunwen.

Yu Yunwen heard the faint voice coming from ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the voice, we are probably less than ten miles away from Guan Yu Water Village. I ordered the soldiers on the front row of warships to come over, leaving only a few people in the cabin to control the boat and move on. Our main force will wait here."

"No!" Due to the thick fog, the semaphore could not be displayed, so the soldiers had to go to report in person.

Hearing Yu Yunwen's order, Luo Shixin couldn't help but wondered: "General Yu, why is this? Why did you startle the snake? General Xue's soldiers and horses are still some distance away from Guan Yu Luzhai. Why not wait for General Xue's soldiers and horses to attack first, and we are attacking?"

Yu Yunwen said with a smile: "The enemy can be confused by the truth. It is already early in the morning. Although the fog is thick, Guan Yu's soldiers and horses have already woken up at this moment. Even if we wait until General Xue comes to attack, we will make a surprise attack together. Guan Yu only needs to attack." Divide the troops into the water villages and Lu villages, each with 5000 troops, and we will not be able to break through Guan Yu's camp."

"Then I'm afraid Guan Yu will be more careful if he scares the snake." Luo Shixin asked doubtfully.

Yu Yunwen laughed and said: "That's why I let a few empty ships go there. If Guan Yu knows that our army has let the empty ships pass by, he can rest assured that it is a warship sent by our army to scout, and he will not get lost because of the fog. I am worried that my soldiers and horses have already come, and those warships deliberately lured them to come and pursue them.

In this way, Guan Yu must have hesitated, and in addition to the rain last night, his land village was very humid near the river, and his soldiers and horses must have lived in the water village.If there is a problem with the water village, its soldiers and horses will definitely stay there.If General Xue arrives at that time, he can take the opportunity to attack the relatively empty Luzhai. "

After listening to Yu Yunwen's explanation, Qin Qiong Luo Shixin and others suddenly realized, and praised Yu Yunwen for thinking so far.

The Han army on dozens of warships all retreated, leaving only the boatmen in the cabin to control the warships and continue to move forward.Of course, Chen Qingzhi, the boatman, didn't let them die. They were all familiar with water, and when the warship was discovered by Guan Yu's soldiers, they just took the opportunity to jump into the river.

After a while, more than a dozen warships were discovered by Guan Yu's water army, and his soldiers and horses beat gongs and drums to remind the soldiers and horses in the water village behind.

Sure enough, as Yu Yunwen expected, due to the wetness by the river and the sweltering heat in the land camps yesterday afternoon, most of the soldiers spent the night in the water camps on the river.It was just dawn at this moment, and the soldiers woke up. The soldiers of Luzhai had just returned to guard Luzhai. When they heard the sound of gongs in front of the water village, they all stopped and gathered in the water village, ready to fight.

And Guan Yu, Li Siyuan, and Li Sizhao will quickly come to the village to inquire about the situation.

Among the three generals, Guan Yu is in charge of guarding the water village, and the Li brothers are in charge of guarding the Lu village.Due to the unexpected incident, the Li brothers did not return to Luzhai immediately, but followed Guan Yu to Shuizhai.

This is due to human nature. If there is an emergency, many small things will be automatically ignored, and we will pay attention to this emergency.

It's like a family of three, with parents and children. The mother is very strict with the children on weekdays. When the father suddenly encounters a car accident, the mother will never urge the children to do their homework at this time.

Guan Yu and the Li family brothers came to the front of the stronghold, and many soldiers and horses gathered in front of the stronghold. Guan Yu was already in a heavy heart, and he didn't pay much attention to the gathering of soldiers, so he quickly asked the soldiers in front, "What's the matter, why are you beating the gong?"

"General, a warship of the Han army is found ahead!" The soldier said hastily, pointing to the front.

Guan Yu hurriedly looked forward, but it was a pity that there was thick fog, even if Guan Yu had good eyesight, he could only see clearly a few dozen meters away.As for the warships of the Han army that the soldiers mentioned, they didn't see them.

Guan Yu's lying silkworm frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you find it? How far is it from our army's water village? How many are there?"

"It's only one mile away from our army's water stronghold. There are not many warships, only about ten or so. When we found out, we saw the Han army jumping from the warships into the river. Now those warships are still on the river." The soldier said. Hastily replied.

"Last night it rained lightly, and today there is heavy fog. Logically, the Han army should not come." Li Siyuan said with a puzzled face.

Li Sizhao asked suspiciously: "Could it be that these warships were sent by Chen Qingzhi to investigate our army's real situation, but because of the thick fog, they didn't notice our army's water fortress, and walked all the way to our army's water fortress, waiting for them to be discovered It's too late to turn around, so you dive into the water to escape?"

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "The fog is thick, we can't see the situation ahead, we can't guess rashly, let the soldiers shoot arrows to test, right now you can't see the movement ahead, let the soldiers shoot hard, shoot as far as you can. There are Han warships in the rear, there must be shouts coming!"

"Promise!" The brothers of the Li family bowed their hands and took the order, and hurriedly summoned archers to come to the front of the village and shoot arrows forward.

Generally, the effective attack distance of bows and arrows is only about 120 meters. This distance can be accurately designed by archers, but the maximum range is at most several meters. Some strongmen can shoot farther with strong bows and crossbows.Although the accuracy is not good, with tens of thousands of soldiers planning together, there will always be a few who can shoot far enough to fall into the Han army. If there are screams, it means that there are Han soldiers behind.
