Soldiers come to the world

Jingkou is the old capital of Jiangdong. After the capital moved to Jianye, Jingkou gradually became deserted, but it was only marginalized politically, and its economic status was still very high. It was the exit of the Piling County Canal through the Yangtze River, adjacent to The grain transported from Ling County was transferred in Jingkou, and then transported to Jianye after being converted into a large ship. Jingkou became the largest material transfer place in Jiangdong, and the commerce was very developed.

At present, Jiangdong is trying its best to dredge the canal about [-] miles long from Wu County to Piling County, and at the same time widen the waterway between Qinhuai Water and Piling Canal. Once these two canals are opened, Danyang, Piling and Wu County will be connected. As a whole, the grain and supplies in Wujun can be directly transported to the Yangtze River, and then lead to Jianye from the Yangtze River, or they can also be directly transported to Jianye through the Qinhuai River.

Therefore, in the canal system in the south of the Yangtze River, Jingkou has a pivotal position. In the army layout in Jiangdong, the 1 people of Jianye's [-] troops are deployed in Jingkou, and the veteran Han is the commander.

Now that Gan Ning had obtained the deployment map of the Jiangdong army, he was targeted and knew what he should do. Liu Jing ordered him to restrain the Jianye army, but did not let him stand by. Seizing Jingkou and controlling the canal hub was to restrain the Jianye army the most effective means.

This morning, more than [-] huge warships slowly approached the Yangtze River Wharf outside Jingkou City. The Yangtze River Wharf in Jingkou is a civilian wharf. A year ago, there were thousands of sails here, and cargo ships of all sizes crowded the river outside the wharf. , but since Jiangdong decided to convert cargo ships into military ships, a large number of cargo ships fled to the north bank and never returned. The pier has become deserted and there is no civilian husband.

However, the tense atmosphere of the military still hangs over the Jingkou Wharf. Not far from the wharf, the Jiangdong Army has built eight tall sentry towers. In the urn city.

At this time, a rapid alarm bell sounded from the sentry tower. The soldiers had seen hundreds of warships appearing on the river outside the pier. The alarm bell alarmed the Jiangdong soldiers stationed several miles away. Under the leadership of General Han Dang, they Run quickly to the Yangtze River Wharf.

At this time, a thousand soldiers of the Jiangdong Army stationed on the wharf had already launched a bow and arrow attack on the enemy ship that was docked. They hid behind a mudbag wall a hundred steps away, and the dense arrows shot at the Han army like raindrops. battleship.

More than a dozen large ships of the Han army have already docked, and the long planks of the ships have landed on the land. There are hundreds of soldiers of the Han army on each of the large ships. , Although the shields of the Han army formed a shield wall, many soldiers were shot by arrows and fell into the river screaming.

At this time, the stone cannons on the warship also counterattacked. With the loud bang, dozens of kerosene pots weighing more than ten kilograms were shot at the mud bag wall. As dozens of rockets were fired, the flames blazed and spread rapidly, a section of mudbag wall was ignited, and the soldiers hiding behind the wall evacuated to both sides.

More and more kerosene pots smashed into the mudbag wall, and the fire spread faster and faster. Most of the nearly one-mile-long mud wall was engulfed in flames. A thousand Jiangdong soldiers could no longer hide behind the mud wall and had to abandon their bunkers. Evacuate backwards.

The bow and arrow defense of the Jiangdong army gradually disappeared, and the Han army began to land on a large scale. Groups of soldiers rushed ashore, and the big ship sailed away. Another large ship docked, and countless Han soldiers poured out.

This time the landing at Jingkou was led by Gan Ning himself. He originally considered landing at night and attacking Jingkou, but in order to hone the combat effectiveness of the soldiers with actual combat, Gan Ning decided to land in the daytime and fight fiercely with the Jiangdong Army. He was confident that he would fight Defeat Jiangdong Army.

A thousand Jiangdong soldiers evacuated from the pier, and the Han army began to land quickly. Groups of soldiers rushed down from the boats and lined up quickly. Before the large enemy army arrived, 7000 Han troops had already landed with [-] people. They lined up neatly. Murderous, ready to fight to the death with the Jiangdong Army.

Gan Ning was riding on the horse, staring at the front coldly. He could see clearly that a group of Jiangdong soldiers appeared on the right side of Beigu Mountain ahead, about one mile away from them, and they were rushing towards the pier.

"Prepare your bows and arrows!"

At Gan Ning's order, three thousand soldiers of the Han army took off their bows and arrows, walked forward quickly, drew their arrows to the string, and raised their bows and arrows, waiting for the order to fire.

At this time, Han Dang also saw the enemy army in the distance, and he was secretly surprised. There were seven to eight thousand people lined up on the pier, but the enemy army on the big ship was still continuing to land, but he didn't know how many Han troops would come ashore. Han Dang My heart is a little uneasy.

At the beginning of the year, the Jiangdong Army had only 3 troops. Later, another [-] troops were forcibly recruited. They were called the New Army. The new army generally lacked training, had no combat experience, and had poor combat effectiveness. They could only be used as auxiliary troops.

The original 2 troops were relatively elite, of which 1 were stationed in Jianye, the capital city, and the other [-] were deployed in Wujun to cooperate with the [-] new troops.

The other [-] new troops were stationed near Jingkou in Piling County. It was the army commanded by Han Dang. They are all deployed in Jianye, and Jingkou can only deploy new troops.

Deploy [-] troops in Jingkou, trying to use numbers to make up for the lack of training and combat effectiveness. Its [-] troops guard Jingkou City, while the other [-] troops are stationed in Yunyang County a little to the south.

Yunyang County is the confluence of the Qinhuai River and the canal, and its strategic location is equally important. With the Han army completely controlling the Yangtze River, the fleet from Wujun can only transfer to the Qinhuai River in Yunyang County and travel along the Qinhuai River. Enter Jianye.

Seeing that the Han army was ready with bows and arrows, Han Dang raised his hand and ordered, "Stop fighting and move forward!"

The order was passed on quickly, and the [-] troops stopped marching, and Han Dang ordered again: "March in line!"

The Jiangdong army quickly regrouped and formed a large formation about 7000 steps away from the Han army. The [-] men raised their spears but refused to charge forward. Although the opponent did not show signs of attacking the Han army, Gan Ning still did not order to put down their bows and arrows. He waited patiently, and as the hundred Han troops from the last warship disembarked, the [-] Han troops had completely lined up.

At this time, Gan Ning saw that the opponent still had no intention of attacking, and immediately ordered: "Replace the bow and arrow with the spear!"

The three thousand soldiers retracted their bows and arrows, and began to transform into a spear army. The Han army was like a reservoir gradually filled with water, waiting for the order to attack. Following Gan Ning's order, "Attack!"

'Boom!Boom!Boom! '

The drums of the Han army were loud, and [-] soldiers of the Han army shouted for killing, and the murderous aura burst out, like a powerful tide, rushing towards the Jiangdong army [-] paces away.

Han Dang also shouted: "Let's fight!"

The [-] soldiers of the Jiangdong Army have never been in actual combat, and their training is insufficient. More importantly, they were forced to join the army, and they were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for Sun Quan. Fear of war arose, and he timidly went to meet the Han army.

The morale of the Han army was high, and they rushed into the Jiangdong army like a storm. The two armies collided suddenly at the foot of Beigu Mountain and fought fiercely. The first battle of the Jiangdong Battle started at Jingkou

Yunyang County, which is also known as Danyang County in later generations, is where the Qinhuai River originated, meandering for more than [-] miles, and finally Jianye flows into the Yangtze River. Because this is the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River, the river channel is narrow, and it is difficult for ships with more than [-] stones to travel .

Until last year, ships from Piling County entered the Yangtze River from Jingkou in the north, and then diverted to Jianye. However, since the Han army took control of the Yangtze River waterway, Jiangdong decided to dig a tributary from the Qinhuai River to the canal , and widen the Qinhuai Waterway, so that ships coming from Piling County can directly take the Qinhuai River to Jianye.

At this time, the development of the tributary canal had been completed, but the widening project of the Qinhuai Waterway was still going on. Nearly [-] civilians were working on the waterway day and night under the supervision of [-] troops.

They used the method of segmented construction, draining the water of a section of the river first, digging the river wide, and stacking the two sides of the river with large stones. The river they need to widen is about [-] miles long. Now it has been widened for more than [-] miles, and there is still the last ten miles. Work volume.

At noon, [-] river workers were busy in the river like ants, picking soil, transporting rocks, and digging the river. Since the project had been going on for several months, the river workers were already exhausted. In addition, the war clouds enveloped the east of the river, and the hearts of the river workers were floating. Some river workers escaped, and thousands of people escaped in just a dozen days.

The supervisors were overwhelmed by the endless escapes, but there was nothing they could do, so they had to turn to the military for help. Under Han Dang's order, [-] Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Yunyang were put into the project to assist the supervisors in guarding the civilians. Today is the third day .

The time gradually arrived at noon, and the construction site was resting and eating. The peasants gathered together in twos and threes, and while eating a cheap lunch, they looked forward to the day when the Jiangdong regime fell. call.

The soldiers also gathered on the river bank for lunch. Their lunch was slightly better than that of the peasants, but it was the same old brown rice, rotten fish and rotten shrimps, but the amount was slightly more than that of the peasants. These unpalatable meals.

But today, the army is full of restlessness. There are rumors that the main force of the 20 Han army has left Chaisang and is heading towards Jiangdong. Uneasy, when the Han army was about to kill them, the first thing they thought of was how to protect the safety of their family members, not the life and death of the Jiangdong regime.

The soldiers talked a lot, and the war weariness spread rapidly in the army. At this moment, countless deserters and defeated soldiers suddenly appeared on the official road in the distance. Groups of soldiers ran desperately to this side, and the soldiers stood up one after another, panicking and not knowing what happened. what's up.

After a while, the first group of defeated soldiers rushed over and shouted: "Run away! The Han army is coming from Jingkou."

The news was like a thunderbolt that exploded in the soldiers. The three thousand soldiers were only stunned for a moment, and then they immediately became chaotic. The soldiers threw down their weapons and armors and ran south desperately. One person led ten people to flee, and ten people led a hundred people. , Hundreds of people led thousands of people, more and more soldiers fled like a snowball, and even many civilians took the opportunity to mix with the soldiers and flee south.

"Stop, don't run away!"

Lieutenant Lin Hong yelled loudly and whipped him with a whip, but he still couldn't stop the fleeing soldiers. At this moment, an unfamiliar horn sounded from a distance, and Lin Hong was stunned. He also saw the battle of the Han army in the north. The flag, the dust flying on the official road, and the overwhelming number of Han soldiers came to the south.

Lin Hong let out a long sigh. It seemed that Han Dang had already been defeated. He had no choice but to turn his horse and run westward.
