Jiangdong's Water Ghost attacked and went down the river quietly at night.
The river is dark and the sound of the water bursts.
Under the water, thousands of people are moving quietly.
After swimming for a while, they got close to the busy temporary wharf by the river.
There are a lot of boats lining up on the temporary wharf, waiting to load food and personnel.
These water ghosts are targeting these ships.
When they got to the bottom of the boat, they scraped it slowly with a knife to damage the bottom of the boat.
It's not easy for them to damage the thick bottom of the boat. They scraped slowly on the side of the boat with a knife. They didn't dare to chisel, because they were afraid of being found out.
The thick planks at the bottom of the boat were scraped thin and broke in no hurry.
There are usually two or three people in action under a ship. They are close to the side of the ship. After a while, they can come out and breathe with the pipe in their mouth. They can stay underwater for a long time.
The ship was so busy that they didn't realize what was going on under the ship. The sound of carrying things, the sound of people calling and the sound of water covered up their voices.
These people are people who live by the river. It's OK to stay under the water for an hour.
The sharp knives are specially configured, which can make it easier to scrape thin. Some people even take a few knives and tie them to their waist, which allows them to operate with more convenient knives.
A few places on the bottom of the boat were scratched very thin, and there were even some cracks. The cracks were not big, and the commander penetrated a little, so he would not be found in the dark.
A lot of the boats that are parked are taken care of.
More than an hour later, these ships were attacked and there were problems at the bottom of the ships.
And these water ghosts swim down the Yangtze River.
After swimming a few miles, there was a special person in a reed marsh to meet him.
One by one, the water ghosts were tired and pulled onto the boat to have a rest.
"My Lord, there are more than 200 people who have not come back. I'm afraid..."
The young general who is responsible for taking care of these water ghosts sighed and said, "if you don't come back, I'm afraid you can't come back."
Most of these water ghosts are not from the army. They are the people who are temporarily recruited with good water quality.
Some of them are boatmen and some are fishermen. This time, when the government called them up, many people came to apply.
Finally, a group of more than 1000 water ghosts were selected.
But the danger of this operation is still great, not because of the enemy, but because of the night and the cold river.
The temperature is low at night, and it takes a long time to stay under the water, which is very physical.
A lot of people just don't have the strength to swim back and never come back.
But their sacrifice is worth it.
A few hours later, the ships loaded their cargo and began to form to the other side of the river.
There are hundreds of big ships, and there is a sense of vastness on the river.
This is the fleet of sun CE and Yuan Shu.
After the army has crossed the other bank, the main task is to transport the grain and grass, and then they can prepare for war.
It's a good plan. They're working all night.
Hundreds of boats headed for the center of the Yangtze River.
The waves in the water beat on the ship, but the ship was full of materials and personnel, and the draft was very heavy, which did not make the ship shake violently.
But some cracks under the bottom of the ship began to seep under the beating of the river, and then the opening slowly expanded.
When some thin boards start to break, the cracks will get bigger and bigger.
It wasn't discovered at first.
Crackle, crackle.
Some of the boards were broken, unable to bear the beating of the waves and the pressure of the ship, and broke apart.
"No, there's water in here. Plug it up quickly."
"How can it be broken? Plug it up quickly, or the ship will sink."
"What, there's water in here, too."
"Come on, soak some of the grain out of the boat."
"Plug it, plug it. It's dangerous if you don't plug it again."
A boat began to break, split a few holes, and then the river gushed in.
The crew was terrified. The ship was just in good condition. How could such a serious thing happen when we got to the middle of the river.
One ship began to have problems, and then several ships had problems at the same time. The river was in chaos, and the originally neat fleet was in a mess.
"What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the mess." Huang Gai was Sun CE Fang's general in charge of escort. He took ten thousand soldiers to cross the river with grain and grass. Suddenly, such a thing happened.
"Don't mess up. If you mess up again, there will be a collision." Yelled Huang Gai, looking at the ships swaying around.
If the ship collided, it would be serious.
"Click, click."
Huang Gai's boat also heard a click.
"No, general. The bottom of the boat is leaking."
"Two big holes have been broken. The ship is going to sink."
The soldier yelled at once.
Huang Gai has realized what these ships have been destroyed.
As they were in a hurry to cross the river, there was no inspection.
"Bang ~"
All of a sudden, there was not a very loud crash. Huang Gai saw that two ships nearby had collided.
Many people were thrown into the river and the boat tilted.
The ship was completely hopeless. The two ships sank quickly.
The sinking also brings great harm, that is, the vortex caused by the sinking also affects some nearby ships, which can't be controlled and collides one after another.
"It's over, it's over." Huang Gai sighed, and then ordered: "abandon the ship, abandon the ship immediately, and swim to the river."
Knowing that these ships were all passive, Huang Gai could only order to abandon the ship. If he could keep some soldiers, he would keep some soldiers.
Many soldiers dive one after another. They know how to take off their equipment intelligently. Some of them jump down with nervous equipment and sink in a short time.
Even people who take off their gear may not be able to swim to the shore.
Most of the grain and grass have sunk to the bottom of the river.
"It's going well. It's our turn to go."
Calculate the time, Gao Shun with the army slowly moving to the river.
The purpose of retreating 50 Li is to make the enemy underestimate his carelessness.
Gaoshun set up the battlefield by the river to prevent the enemy from attacking the hinterland. At the same time, they also took advantage of the natural danger of the Yangtze River.
At this time, many people in the Yangtze River were struggling, including sun CE's soldiers and Yuan Shu's soldiers.
More than 30000 soldiers were carried on hundreds of large ships. All of them dived. The lucky ones could catch the plank and swim back, but the unlucky ones were directly swept into the water by the whirlpool.
In the middle of the night, people on both sides actively saved people, but only about half of them came back in the end.
It's too bad. It's a big loss before we fight, especially the grain and grass of more than 100 big ships.
Without the food, they have to reorganize the transportation, but it will take several days.
More importantly, food is easy to handle, but ships are hard to find.
They suddenly realized that a big problem, to fight across the river, may be a big mistake.
Zhang Yu has been in control of the Yangtze River for so long. He has already touched the Yangtze River clearly, and many tactics have been thought of. This time, they have already had a way to deal with it.
