    When all 50,000 Jiangdong troops arrived on the east bank of the Yangtze River, Liu Cong moved from Changsha City to the military camp.

    Wang Yue'er and Sun Shangxiang originally wanted to stay in the city, but they refused to do anything and wanted to be Liu Cong's bodyguards.  Liu Cong thought for a while and felt that he should be safe around him, so he agreed.

    The Feitian Camp outside Changsha City now has 10,000 troops, but in addition, there are 3,000 Wuxi barbarians.  They were selected from the prisoners, and in order to make them loyal to him, Liu Cong made their treatment exactly the same as that of the Han army.

    These barbarian soldiers had a very low status, whether under their respective leaders or under the barbarian king Samoko.  Now that Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Cong did not treat them as slaves, they naturally wanted to serve him to the death.

    There are a total of 13,000 soldiers, 3,000 are stationed in Changsha City, and the remaining 10,000 are all defending along the river.

    "My lord, let's station our troops here, okay?" Seeing Liu Cong's defense, Liu Min didn't understand.

    "Of course that's okay!" Liu Cong smiled.

    Jingzhou and Jiangdong used to be feuds, and the battlefields were mainly in Jiangxia and Changsha.  The strongest force in Jiangdong is the navy, which has many warships. Although the Jingzhou navy has a large number of people, its combat power is far different, and there is no advantage at all on the river.  So many times, soldiers and horses from the east of the Yangtze River were sent across the river, and then they held on to the city.

    There are no naval forces in Changsha now. Liu Min thinks that they must defend the city.  At most, one army should be left outside the city to form a horned force with the city to support each other.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that Liu Cong would station his troops by the river.

    "Liu Lieutenant, you don't understand this!" Fazheng looked at Liu Min and smiled, "This is my lord's new strategy, just wait and see! It will definitely make Jiangdong soldiers suffer a lot."

    When Liu Cong first arranged this, Fazheng was a little confused, how could the battle be fought like this?

    But after he thought about it for a moment, he immediately understood the mystery.  After the Jiangdong navy disembarked, they first had to pass through an open area. At this time, the Han army's bows, arrows and spears came into play.  Moreover, there are dozens of Pili chariots on the shore, and rocks can be hit on the river.

    Even if Jiangdong's army crossed the open area and climbed ashore, the Han army could just kill them with their swords.

    This is camping with your back to the water?  Half-crossing attack?  It seems like neither.  How come the Lord has so many practical and novel ideas?  Fa Zheng was extremely impressed.

    In fact, this is too simple for Liu Cong. To prevent crossing the river, shouldn't it be necessary to set up defenses along the river to prevent the enemy from landing?

    On the east bank of the Yangtze River, warships were lined up for several miles.  All 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers have boarded the ship.

    Lu Meng¡¯s handsome ship is a small building ship with two floors.  The upper level was mainly responsible for sending signals. L¨¹ Meng, surrounded by two hundred personal guards, stood on the side of the ship on the first level.

    On both sides of the building ship, there is a stern on each side. Jiangdong generals Ling Tong and Pan Zhang, wearing helmets and armor, stand on the bow of the ship.

    "The army marches out and crosses the Yangtze River!" Lu Meng gave the order.

    Immediately, the soldiers on the second floor of the building waved the yellow and green war flags up and down three times.

    Pioneer Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai received the order and commanded more than 100 warships of various sizes, including Sanyi, Panfang, and Douge, and 6,000 soldiers, and set off in a mighty manner.

    The river here is wide, but from Yuzhang Ferry to Changsha Ferry, you go downstream, so the boat speed is very fast.  After a short time, we saw the other side.

    "Speed ??up!" Jiang Qin still felt that the boat was a little slow and ordered loudly.

    The warships arrived at the shore one after another like flying.

    Six thousand soldiers got off the ship one after another and gathered on the shore.

    Liu Cong, who was not far away, sneered in his heart.  It seems that in this era, the navy has no intention of seizing the beach and landing in the war.

    After a while, the Jiangdong navy was assembled. The six thousand soldiers and horses were divided into two teams. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai each led one team and prepared to charge forward.

    "Send the order to the Thunderbolt Car, launch!" Liu Min was a little nervous, but also full of excitement, and ordered loudly.

    There was a sound of thunder, and then countless stones flew from the sky.

    "Thunderbolt chariot?" Jiang Qin screamed, "Quickly, spread out quickly, shield"

    The panicked Jiangdong soldiers quickly dispersed, and rocks fell from the sky.

    "Ah" The screams came one after another, and the flying flesh and blood accompanied the huge waves.

    The stones were not fired accurately, and some fell into the river, causing waves more than ten feet high.  Some of them hit the ship, and a hole was made in the warship.  Some of them fell on Jiang Dongbing, which was terrible.

    "Come over and kill!" Jiang Qin shouted.

      "Kill!" When Jiang Dongbing saw it, it was better to rush over and fight with the Han army than to be hit by stones here.  So he braved flying rocks and rushed to the shore like a tide.

    The Thunderbolt Chariot suppressed the enemy's momentum, but the casualties caused were not large.  However, Jiang Dongbing's real nightmare is yet to come.

    "Fire the arrow!" Gong Zhi shouted.

    The roar of the thunderbolt chariot stopped, but the dense arrows rolled over overwhelmingly.

    "Shield, hurry!" Jiang Qin ordered urgently.

    Jiang Dongbing raised his shield, but many slow-moving soldiers were still shot to the ground.

    "Fire the arrow!"

    The crossbowmen from Jiangdong used the gaps in their shields to fire arrows at the Han troops on the bank.

    The two sides began to shoot at each other, but the Han army suffered very few casualties because they had already taken cover.  Jiangdong's soldiers rushed forward with their shields raised, so they kept leaving corpses one after another.

    "Kill!"

    At this time, Zhou Tai led another group of soldiers and horses to rush over, which greatly boosted the morale of Jiangdong soldiers, and they were about to rush into the Han army's formation.

    "Throw the gun!" Gong Zhi shouted again.

    Throwing spears flew over one after another with the roar of the wind, piercing Jiang Dongbing's shields at once, and some were even smashed into pieces.

    Jiangdong soldiers, including Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, were shocked.

    Immediately afterwards, another round of spears came flying.

    Jiangdong soldiers hurriedly used their weapons to block it, but how could they block it?

    ?????????????????Nearly all of the soldiers in the front were shot through their bodies with spears and were nailed to the ground.

    "Gong Yi, you can't rush like this anymore!" Zhou Tai ran to Jiang Qin's side, and while using his big gun to shoot, he said loudly, "Let's retreat quickly!"

    Jiang Qin took a look and saw that the number of casualties among the soldiers was more than a thousand. If this continues, even if he rushes to the Han army, he will not be able to fight.

    "The rear team becomes the front team and retreat slowly!" Although I was unwilling to do so, there was nothing I could do about it.

    Jiangdong soldiers are indeed strong soldiers, and they have been on the battlefield for a long time. They did not panic when they retreated.

    "Wolf camp warriors, kill!"

    Liu Cong shouted loudly, and saw a group of Han troops wearing animal skins, shouting "Aoao", waving various weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the retreating Jiangdong soldiers.

    "Wolf Camp" was the name Liu Cong gave to the three thousand barbarian soldiers.  Originally, they were going to break up and be incorporated into the Han army, but then they thought that if that was the case, they would not be able to demonstrate their bravery, so they organized them into a separate battalion, just to make them be as ferocious as wolves when they charge.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
