The entire Xie family still has deep doubts about the combat effectiveness of the army in Changshan Village, if they can't even defeat Danyang City, then the Xie family will have to reconsider the way out. Either he really moved to Lingnan, or he surrendered to Wang Shichong, otherwise he had no choice, so Xie Yun's father and son were so nervous and came to watch the battle in person. Seeing that the soldiers finally swarmed to the top of the city, and the defenders retreated like cháo water, Xie Yun's father and son finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Li Jing entered Danyang City, he first asked Xie Yun and his son to preside over the county affairs, and then ordered the Danyang Taishou Lu Wennan to be beheaded for public display, and then led the army to the north of Danyang City to set up camp on the river beach.

Three days later, Wang Shichong's army waded into the river, and the entire Yangtze River was full of warships of the Jiangdu army. Originally, there were many big boats in the Changshan Carriage and Horse Hang, and many of them were good hands of jīng familiar water xìng, and they could fight to the death with Wang Shichong's army on the river, but Li Jing did not agree. He believed that this battle must be fought in an upright and upright manner, to show the morale of the Changshan Army and the prestige of the Changshan Army, and to announce to the world that a new force will join the competition in the Central Plains.

Unhindered, Wang Shichong's fleet approached the south bank of the Yangtze River very smoothly, and the soldiers began to abandon their boats and land on the riverside.

Hua Yun held a long lance in his hand, and jumped to try: "Brother Li, take advantage of the enemy's half-crossing to attack him!" ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "No, when they finish their formation, let them see the true power of the Changshan Army!" ”

On the river, Wang Shichong stood on the deck of a big ship, looked at the river beach for a while, and couldn't help laughing and said: "This rabble actually learned from Song Xianggong's hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and has the reason to be invincible?" Command, drums, march! ”

Li Jing calmly watched as the enemy approached little by little, but he just stood still.

Wang Shichong's 50,000 Jiangdu army was also dominated by infantry, and the cavalry was only 5,000. Probably Wang Shichong also knew that the soft river beach was not suitable for cavalry combat, so he put the cavalry in the back, and the long lance hand holding a shield rushed to the front. The formation is very dense and is a traditional phalanx.

The crossbows and bows equipped by the Changshan army were made according to the patterns sent by Liu Ziqiu, and the shè was twice as long as ordinary bows and arrows. Seeing that Wang Shichong's former army had entered the crossbow process, Han Shige was also a little unable to hold back, and arched his hand: "Cousin, shè!" ”

Li Jing waved his hand lightly: "Wait a little longer." ”

The Jiangdu army was getting closer and closer, and had already entered the shè of the bow and arrow, and Li Jing still did not give the order to attack. Soon, the distance between the two forwards was only fifty paces, and the archers of the Jiangdu Army, who were hiding behind the long lance man, had already preempted the chaotic arrows. Wang Shichong on the warship couldn't help but shake his head: "What kind of pus-filled army is this, why are you standing there waiting to die?" Haha, haha......"

When the first wave of bows and arrows of the Jiangdu army was finished, the troops of the Changshan army did not move at all, and the overwhelming feather arrows did not cause much damage. Although it was already within the shè range, after all, the distance was far, and the power of the feather arrow was greatly weakened, and it could not penetrate the new armor of the Changshan Army at all.

At this time, the drums suddenly sounded in the Changshan army, and at the sound of the bowstring, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the crossbowmen of the Changshan army began to counterattack. At a distance of forty paces, the extremely fast iron arrows easily pierced the shields of the longlancers' slowly advancing shields. The soldiers hiding behind the shield were pierced by iron arrows and fell to the ground one after another, and the formation of the Jiangdu army was in chaos. Iron Arrow's attacks came in waves, and after three waves in a row, they stopped. Not only the lancers, but also the archers who followed closely behind suffered heavy casualties.

Wang Shichong couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the sudden change in the situation on the battlefield, grabbed the drumstick and picked it up. The morale of the Jiangdu army, which was already in chaos, was boosted, and they brandished swords and guns one by one, screaming and rushing forward. The drums in the Changshan army also changed, and the archers stepped forward and threw their bows into the sky. Countless arrows fell from the sky, and more than half of the soldiers of the Jiangdu Army who were rushing forward were killed and wounded in an instant.

Only then did Li Jing point the red flag in his hand forward: "Kill!" ”

The two teams of black-armored warriors rushed out, slashing left and right with sharp horizontal knives in their hands, and the soldiers of the Jiangdu Army only resisted for a moment before falling apart.

Wang Shichong saw it from a distance and couldn't help but be shocked. The black-armored warriors numbered no more than 5,000 men each, and his men numbered 30,000 despite the heavy casualties inflicted on the opponent's crossbows. With three enemies and one, it is actually vulnerable! Wang Shichong only knew that the Jiangnan people were weak, but he didn't expect the other party's combat power to be so strong, and he immediately secretly regretted that he had underestimated the strength of the other party. In fact, he didn't know that there was no way to fight this hand-to-hand encounter. His soldiers, whether knives, spears, or lances, were cut in two by the opponent's horizontal sword. Can't hold a short stick and fight with the opponent's blade? It was a completely one-sided slaughter.

Seeing that his army was defeated, Wang Shichong was furious and ordered the horn to be sounded. The sound of the horn was mixed with the fierce river wind, and there was a sense of grievance. But the Jiangdu army began to move, avoiding both sides, and the cavalry that had been left behind began to rush forward.

Seeing that Wang Shichong had used cavalry, Li Jing raised his hand lightly: "Withdraw!" ”

The gong sounded, and the two teams of black-armored warriors who were pursuing the enemy with all their might quickly retreated. The cavalry of the Jiangdu army pursued closely, but the river beach was soft, but the war horses couldn't raise their speed in a hurry, and they couldn't catch up with the two teams of black-armored soldiers. Suddenly, the two teams of black-armored warriors parted like waves, and they were greeted by a small phalanx. The phalanx consisted of only two thousand men, each of them heavily armored and armed with long knives, standing there like an iron wall.

Wang Shichong saw it clearly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, with 5,000 cavalry against 2,000 infantry, even if the other party used a weapon like a long knife, it should be able to win the victory. The situation on the battlefield stunned Wang Shichong, and it also showed him what the most powerful army was. The phalanx of 2,000 people moved in unison, like a person, and every time he took a step forward, he waved the long knife in his hand, and everywhere the sword passed, whether it was a man or a horse, it would be torn apart in an instant. Except for the occasional man or two who were wounded by a galloping horse, it was impossible for his cavalry to get close to the other side.

The phalanx stepped forward step by step, really like chopping melons and vegetables, and in a blink of an eye, the five thousand cavalry were wiped out, and there was not a single living man or horse left, and the tragic battlefield made Wang Shichong feel suffocated. Wang Shichong, who finally reacted, was furious, grabbed Xiao Dapeng beside him and shouted: "What kind of army is this, why is it so powerful?" Why didn't you tell the Lone King beforehand! ”

Xiao Dapeng was also dumbfounded, and said repeatedly: "King, I don't know." Probably after I left, they formed a new formation. ”

"Someone, tie him up!" Wang Shichong kicked Xiao Dapeng to the ground, kicked him hard, and said, "Fart, they can form such a terrifying army in just a few months?" You wouldn't know? The ghost believes that you are clearly a jiān fine! ”

Xiao Dapeng begged for mercy and persuaded: "King, run, their warship is coming!" ”

Wang Shichong raised his eyes and saw that there was a fleet sailing on the river on the east and west sides, so he had to wave his hand and say, "Withdraw!" ”

But it's not so easy to leave. More than half of his warships had been captured by the Changshan Chariots, and now the soldiers on board had gone ashore, and many of them had only three or five soldiers left behind. Most of the sailors in the long mountain carriage were trained, and three or five against one, and the ship was easily recaptured, and in the end, only Wang Shichong escaped to the north shore. As for the soldiers who landed on the south bank, there was no boat and no choice but to surrender.

Li Jing sneered: "Get on board!" Kill the river! ”

A big battle ended in only half a day, hundreds of large and small warships carrying 50,000 soldiers of the Changshan Army crossed the Yangtze River, landed in Guabu Mountain, and slaughtered the capital of the river. Wang Shichong fled in embarrassment, and as soon as he entered the Jiangdu City with his front foot, before the city gate could be closed, the Changshan Army on his back foot chased after him. Wang Shichong saw it, and did not order resistance, pulled the reins, passed through the city, and continued to flee north.

Xiao Dapeng was tied to his horse, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he peeked into the gap and jumped into the grass on the side of the road. Unexpectedly, Wang Shichong had already stared at him, rushed over and put the sword on his neck, and shouted: "Want to run? How can it be so easy! Lone is going to borrow you to find a step forward! ”

Li Jing occupied Jiangdu and did not continue the pursuit, which was a support point for him in Jiangbei, but he could not but consolidate it. On the one hand, he sent Huayun to guard the Jiangdu Palace, and did not allow soldiers to enter and leave the palace at will to disturb the concubines and palace maids, and on the other hand, he issued a notice to comfort the people in the city, and ordered people to mobilize grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to help the victims who were looted by Wang Shichong and could not eat enough.

Hua Yun ordered the soldiers to guard the palace gate, but he walked into the palace with a knife to arrest Wang Shichong's family.

Jiangdu Palace is Yang Guang's favorite palace to play, there are more than 60 concubines and nearly 1,000 palace maids in the palace. After Wang Shichong occupied Jiangdu, he honestly and unceremoniously accepted all these concubines of Yang Guang. Now that Wang Shichong has been defeated, these concubines are naturally panicked, and suddenly they saw a handsome descendant who came in, and suddenly rekindled their hopes, and they all threw their eyes around Huayun and offered their courtesy. Hua Yun was furious, waved his sword, and shouted: "Who dares to come forward again." One knife and two paragraphs! ”

The concubines dispersed in a hurry.

Hua Yun then remembered that he was going to arrest Wang Shichong's family, and couldn't help but rush forward two steps and grab a palace concubine who was walking slowly.

The palace concubine was so frightened that she knelt on the ground as soon as her legs were weak, but there was already a puddle of water under her buttocks.

Hua Yun covered his nose and asked with disgust on his face: "Tell me quickly, where is Wang Shichong's family!" ”

The palace concubine said tremblingly: "Wang Shichong's wife died early, and he only has one daughter......"

Hua Yun flew up and kicked the palace concubine into the water stains on the ground: "Say it quickly!" Where is his daughter? ”

The palace concubine held back the pain and stretched out her hand to point: "The general spares his life, that is!" ”

Hua Yun looked in the direction of the palace concubine's finger, and saw a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes like a porcelain doll standing there trembling.
