Jingkou is the old capital of Jiangdong, after the capital moved to Jianye, Jingkou gradually deserted, but it is only marginalized in politics, its economic status is still very high, it is the export of the Yangtze River through the canal of Piling County, the grain transported by Piling County is transferred in Jingkou, and then transported to Jianye after being replaced by a large ship, Jingkou has become the largest material transit place in Jiangdong, and the business is very developed.

At present, Jiangdong is making every effort to dredge the canal from Wu County to Piling County about 100 miles long, and at the same time widen the channel between Qinhuai Water and Piling Canal, once these two canals are opened, Danyang, Piling and Wu County will be connected as a whole, and Wu County's grain and materials can be directly transported to the Yangtze River, and then from the Yangtze River to Jianye, or can also be directly transported to Jianye through Guò Qinhuai Water.

Therefore, in the canal system in the south of the Yangtze River, Jingkou has a pivotal position, and in the army layout of Jiangdong, 10,000 of the 30,000 troops of Jianye are deployed in Jingkou, commanded by the veteran Han Dang.

Since Gan Ning got the deployment map of the Jiangdong army, he had a target and knew what he should do, Liu Jing ordered him to contain the Jianye army, and did not let him sit idly by, and seizing Jingkou and controlling the canal hub was the most effective means to contain the Jianye army.

On this morning, more than 300 huge warships slowly approached the Yangtze River wharf outside the city of Jingkou, the Yangtze River wharf in Jingkou is a civilian wharf, a year ago, here thousands of sails like clouds, large and small cargo ships crowded the river outside the wharf, but since Jiangdong decided to use cargo ships to transform into military ships, a large number of cargo ships fled to the north shore and did not return, the wharf has become deserted, and there is not a single man in sight.

But the military tension was still shrouded in the Jingkou wharf, not far from the wharf, the Jiangdong army built eight tall guard towers, from which the river can be seen directly, and the 7,000 Jiangdong army was stationed in the Jingkou iron urn city.

At this time, there was a rapid alarm bell from the guard tower, and the soldiers had already seen hundreds of warships appear on the river outside the wharf, and the alarm bell alarmed the Jiangdong soldiers stationed several miles away, and they rushed towards the Yangtze River wharf under the leadership of the general Han Dang.

At this time, the 1,000 Jiangdong Army soldiers stationed on the dock had already launched a bow and arrow attack on the enemy ships docking, and they hid behind a mud bag wall a hundred paces away, and the dense arrows rained down on the Han warships.

More than a dozen Han ships have docked, the long board is on the land, each big ship has hundreds of Han soldiers, they hold shields, against the dense arrows slowly walk to the shore, although the Han army's shield formed a shield wall, but there are still many soldiers were shot by the arrows, screaming and falling into the river.

At this time, the stone cannon on the warship also counterattacked, with a huge bang, dozens of oil clay pots weighing more than ten catties shot at the mud bag wall, the clay pot fell to the ground and smashed, the fire oil flowed everywhere, with dozens of rockets fired, the fire burned to the ground, spread rapidly, a section of the mud bag wall was ignited, and the soldiers hiding behind the wall evacuated to both sides.

More and more clay pots hit the mud bag wall, and the fire spread faster and faster, and most of the nearly mile-long mud wall was engulfed in flames, and a thousand Jiangdong soldiers could no longer hide behind the mud wall, so they had to give up their bunkers and retreat backwards.

The bow and arrow defense of the Jiangdong army gradually disappeared, and the Han army began to land on a large scale, teams of soldiers ran ashore, the big ship sailed away, and another big ship docked, pouring out countless Han soldiers.

This landing at Jingkou was personally led by Gan Ning, who originally considered landing at night and attacking Jingkou by surprise, but in order to hone the combat effectiveness of the soldiers with actual combat, Gan Ning decided to land during the day and fight fiercely with the Jiangdong Army, and he was confident that he would defeat the Jiangdong Army in one battle.

A thousand Jiangdong soldiers evacuated the dock, the Han army began to land rapidly, a group of soldiers rushed down from the boat, quickly lined up, before the large group of enemy troops arrived, 10,000 Han troops had landed 7,000 people, they lined up neatly, murderous, ready to fight to the death with the Jiangdong army.

Gan Ning rode on the war horse and looked coldly ahead, he could see very clearly that a large group of Jiangdong soldiers appeared on the right side of Beigu Mountain in front of him, about a mile away from them, and they were quickly killing towards the dock.

"Bow and arrow ready!"

Gan Ning gave an order, and the three thousand Han soldiers took off their bows and arrows, walked forward quickly, drew their arrows and wound them, raised their bows and arrows, and waited for the order to launch.

At this time, Han Dang also saw the enemy troops in the distance, he was secretly surprised in his heart, there were seven or eight thousand people lined up on the dock, but the enemy troops on the big ship were still continuing to land, but he didn't know how many Han troops would go ashore, Han Dang's heart was a little uneasy.

At the beginning of the year, the Jiangdong Army had only 30,000 troops, and later forcibly conscripted 30,000 troops, which were called the New Army, which was generally undertrained, had no combat experience, and had poor combat effectiveness, so it could only be used as an auxiliary army.

The original 30,000 troops were relatively elite, of which 20,000 were stationed in the capital Jianye, and the other 10,000 were deployed in Wu County, which was used in conjunction with the 20,000 new army.

The other 10,000 new troops were stationed near Jingkou in Piling County, it was the army commanded by Han Dang, which was also a helpless move of the Jiangdong Army, Sun Quan wanted to give priority to ensuring the safety of the capital Jianye, so the most elite troops were deployed in Jianye, and the Jingkou side could only deploy the new army.

10,000 troops were deployed at Jingkou to make up for the lack of training and combat effectiveness as much as possible, of which 7,000 troops were stationed in Jingkou City, while the other 3,000 troops were stationed in Yunyang County, a little south.

Yunyang County is the confluence of the Qinhuai River and the canal, and the strategic location is equally important, in the case that the Han army has completely controlled the Yangtze River, the fleet from Wu County can only be transferred to the Qinhuai River in Yunyang County, and enter Jianye along the Qinhuai River.

Han Dang saw that the Han army had prepared bows and arrows, and raised his hand and ordered: "Stop fighting and advance!" ”

The order was quickly passed down, and the seven thousand troops stopped marching, and Han Dang ordered again: "Queue up!" ”

The Jiangdong army quickly formed a team, about 300 steps away from the Han army, 7,000 people raised their spears, but refused to charge forward, although the other party did not attack the Han army, but Gan Ning still did not give the order to put down the bow and arrows, he waited patiently, with the last warship of the hundred Han soldiers off the warship, the 10,000 Han troops have been completely completed.

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

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

'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

The drums of the Han army were loud, and 10,000 Han soldiers let out a shout of killing, and the murderous spirit broke out, like a powerful sea tide, rushing towards the Jiangdong army three hundred steps away.

Han Dang also ordered loudly: "Fight!" ”

The 7,000 Jiangdong soldiers have never experienced actual combat, and their training is insufficient, and more importantly, they were forcibly conscripted into the army, and they were not willing to die for Sun Quan.

The morale of the Han army was high, and it entered the ranks of the Jiangdong army like a storm, and the two armies collided suddenly at the foot of the Beigu Mountain, and a fierce battle began, and the first battle of the Jiangdong Campaign was the first to start in Jingkou

Yunyang County, here is the Danyang County of the later generations, Qinhuai water originated here, meandering and flowing for more than 200 miles, and finally Jianye injected into the Yangtze River, because this is the upper reaches of Qinhuai water, the river is narrow, it is difficult to drive more than 100 stone ships.

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

At this time, the tributary canal had been developed, but the widening project of the Qinhuai waterway was still continuing, and nearly 20,000 people were working day and night in the waterway under the supervision of 3,000 troops.

They used the method of sectional construction, drained a section of the river first, dug the river wide, and used large stones to pile up both sides of the river, they needed to widen the river about 50 miles long, and now it has been widened more than 40 li, and there is still the last 10 miles of work.

At noon, 20,000 river workers were busy in the river like ants, picking up soil and transporting stones, digging the river channel, because the project had been carried out for several months, the river workers were already exhausted, and the war clouds shrouded Jiangdong, the river workers' hearts were floating, and there were constantly river workers who fled, and thousands of people had fled in just ten days.

The overseers were overwhelmed by the endless escapes, but there was nothing they could do, so they had to ask for help from the military, under the order of Han Dang, three thousand Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Yunyang were put into the project to assist the overseers in guarding the people, today is the third day.

The time gradually came to noon, resting and eating on the construction site, and the people gathered together in twos and threes, while eating a shoddy lunch, while looking forward to the day when the Jiangdong regime fell, they already hated the Sun regime, and were looking forward to the early arrival of the Han army all the time.

The soldiers also gathered on the bank of the river for lunch, their lunch was slightly better than that of the minfu, but the same was old brown rice, stinky fish and rotten shrimp, but the amount was slightly more than that of the minfu, but the soldiers were used to it, and no longer complained meaninglessly about these unpalatable meals.

But today, the army is full of a kind of restless feelings, there are rumors that the main force of the 200,000 Han army has left Chaisang, is coming to Jiangdong, although the rumors are difficult to distinguish between true and false, but still make many soldiers uneasy, when the Han army is about to kill, their first thought is how to protect the safety of their families, not the life or death of the Jiangdong regime.

The soldiers were talking, and the war-weariness spread rapidly among the army, and at this moment, countless deserters suddenly appeared on the official road in the distance, and groups ran towards this side desperately, and the soldiers stood up one after another, panicking and not knowing what had happened.

In a moment, the first group of defeated soldiers rushed and shouted, "Run! The Han army came from Jingkou. ”

The news was like a thunderclap in the group of soldiers, and the three thousand soldiers were only stunned for a moment, and then immediately became in chaos, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and armor one after another, and fled south without their lives, one person fled with ten people, ten people led with a hundred, and a hundred people led a thousand, and more and more soldiers fled like a snowball, and even many people took the opportunity to flee south among the soldiers.

"Stop, don't escape!"

Captain Lin Hong shouted loudly and whipped with a leather whip, but he still couldn't stop the soldiers who were fleeing in the swarm, at this time, there was an unfamiliar horn sound in the distance, Lin Hong was stunned, he also saw the Han army battle flag appeared in the north, the official road was dusty, and the overwhelming Han soldiers were killing to the south.

Lin Hong let out a long sigh, it seemed that Han Dang had been defeated, and he had no choice but to turn his horse's head and run west.
