On the river, the soldiers of the two sides were fighting, and there was a sound of gold on the west bank where the Han army was stationed.

Hearing the sound of gold, the Han army on the bridge gradually retreated, but the Jiangdong army on the other side did not stop there, and more Jiangdong army officers and soldiers poured onto the pontoon bridge.

The Han army, which protected the pontoon bridge, also retreated towards the river little by little.

The rattan armor on their bodies can not only resist the stabbing of the enemy, but also can be used as a small boat to carry them across the river when they reach the water.

When the soldiers of the Han army retreated into the deep water area, some Jiangdong soldiers could not step on the mud and sand under their feet because their clothes and armor were not as buoyant as the Han army.

The Han army, which retreated into the water, brandished the Pu knife and slashed at the Jiangdong army that was rushing towards them.

The Jiangdong Army, which chased down the water, was cut down by the soldiers of the Han Army, and because they couldn't step on the bottom of the river under their feet, they were powerless to resist, and they were suddenly cut over.

There was a splash on the river, and the Han troops who retreated into the river swam towards the opposite bank, but the Jiangdong army on the bank did not continue to pursue.

On the pontoon bridge, most of the Han army had retreated to the west bank, but the Jiangdong army had already occupied the pontoon bridge.

After fierce fighting between the two sides, the corpses on the bridge were piled up, and the Jiangdong army rushed towards the west bank, and had to climb over the countless corpses piled up on the bridge before they could pounce on the Han army.

It was already beyond the load-bearing capacity, and under the charge of the Jiangdong Army, the pontoon bridge finally could not bear it, and there was a strange sound, and the interconnected rafts were loose.

The soldiers on both sides of the bridge only felt that the rafts under their feet were moving to both sides, and the soldiers at the junction of the raft and the raft suddenly lost their balance and fell into the water one after another.

The pontoon bridge finally couldn't bear the weight and scattered, and the Han army and the Jiangdong army, who were fighting, fell into the river.

Most of the Jiangdong Army lived along the Yangtze River, and most of them had been frolicking in the river since childhood, so they were certainly no strangers to swimming.

The Jiangdong Army that fell into the water was still too many after all, and they desperately waved their arms, paddled the water, and swam towards the other side of the river.

The Han army on the west side of the riverbank, because the gold had already been fired, the strong crossbowmen did not fire arrows at the Jiangdong army, and the Han army that fell into the water, although the number was not large, but there were many landlubbers.

The Han army, which was impermeable, kept fluttering in the water, trying to float on the surface of the water for a while longer.

But the more they fluttered and panicked, the harder it was to keep them steady.

Some of the Han soldiers on the shore, seeing their companions fluttering in the water, did not wait for the order to be given, and plunged into the river one after another, and swam to those companions who had drunk a lot of water.

The Han army, who could swim, jumped into the water, grabbed a fluttering companion, and dragged them to the shore.

The pontoon bridge, where many soldiers from both sides had gathered and fought fiercely, had also been loosened at this time, and the rafts drifted downstream with the current.

Standing not far from the river bank, Zhuge Jun frowned, looking at the Jiangdong army on the other bank who looked a little embarrassed.

On the surface of the river, there are countless people who are fluttering, swimming towards both banks, and the surface of the river, where the two sides have been fighting, is like a cauldron of boiling water, constantly churning the waves.

On the east bank, Zhuge Jin was also surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, looking at the Han army in the west.

The Han army suddenly attacked, and the Jiangdong army reacted in a very timely manner.

Although the Han army launched an attack without warning, the Jiangdong army was able to respond at the first time, driving them back to the opposite side of the riverbank, which was far outnumbered by the Jiangdong army, and Zhuge Jin faintly had some confidence in the future fight.

Looking at Zhuge Jun on the other side of the riverbank, his mood was extremely complicated at this time.

Leading the army all the way east, Zhuge Jun thought that he would easily defeat the Jiangdong army on the other bank, but the performance of the Jiangdong army made him understand that he and the Han army under his command were not facing an easy battle.

In front of them was an army that was almost in despair.

Every Jiangdong army officer knew very well that once they were defeated, the Han army would drive the commander straight in.

They weren't worried about what happened to the Sun clan in Jiangdong, what they were most worried about was that after the Han army entered Jiangdong, they would plunder Jiangdong, and their families would become enslaved by others.

His face was solemn, looking at the soldiers of the Han army who were climbing ashore from the water, Zhuge Jun had no expression on his face, and the people around him couldn't see what he was thinking.

"General, what should I do?" There were fewer and fewer Han troops in the river, and the general standing beside Zhuge Jun asked him in a low voice.

Looking at the other side, Zhuge Jun was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he said to the partial general on the side: "The Jiangdong Army is determined to defend to the death, if our army forcibly crosses the river, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed......

Locking his brows, Zhuge Jun pondered for a moment before he said as if talking to himself: "If you want to disperse the Jiangdong army, the most effective way is to cross the river with soldiers......"

He was only halfway through his sentence when he stopped talking and did not continue.

Zhuge Jun's words made everyone fall silent.

The Jiangdong army resisted fiercely, and although the Han army was numerous, if the battle line could not be expanded, it would be difficult to defeat them in one fell swoop.

The body of the war elephant is huge, and if it can cross the river, once the attack is launched, it will be difficult for the Jiangdong Army to stabilize the front on the bank of the river.

After breaking up the front of the Jiangdong Army, the main force of the Han army could take advantage of the situation to cross the river, and the battle could come to a successful end.

The most critical thing in front of the Han army is thousands of war elephants, and what method to use to transport them across the river!

The sudden attack of the Han army made the Jiangdong army a little more vigilant.

Earlier, they just arranged some eyeliner on the shore to observe the movements of the Han army, and after repelling the Han army, Zhuge Jin issued an order to ask the Jiangdong army to leave a group of soldiers and horses to line up on the bank, and guard against the Han army from attacking the opposite side of the river bank again at any time.

On the river beach, the corpses of many soldiers from both sides were scattered.

The Jiangdong Army on the east bank gathered the bodies of those Jiangdong Army soldiers who died in battle, and the corpses of the Han Army were thrown directly into the river by them.

Seeing that the bodies of their companions were thrown into the river by the Jiangdong army, the soldiers of the Han army who retreated to the west bank had green tendons bulging on their foreheads one by one, and they couldn't wait to rush up and kill them immediately to wipe out this Jiangdong army.

Although the current is gentle and the river is not very wide, if you want to cross the river, you will definitely be able to withstand the arrows fired at them by the archers of the Jiangdong Army.

Zhuge didn't give an order, although the soldiers of the Han army had the intention to rush to kill, but no one was impulsive enough to really jump into the water, and they didn't rely on anything, and sent it to the Jiangdong army to shoot!

The night passed in the silent retreat of the two armies, and when the morning light of the Li people spread on the shore, the soldiers of both sides finally saw clearly the place where the fighting had taken place the night before.

The east side of the river bank was full of blood stains, and the stones on the ground were stained red.

The river flowing from the shore also took away a trace of reddish blood, and the place where the battle once took place in the center of the river was a clear and cold, and the raft set up as a pontoon bridge had already been carried downstream by the river, and on the surface of the river, only a rope that had been cut by the Jiangdong Army from the east bank remained.

The Jiangdong Army on the other side had already thrown the corpses of the Han army into the river, and many Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers were digging deep pits not far from the river bank.

Some of the dead Jiangdong soldiers were carried by their companions and thrown into deep pits for burial.

Perhaps it was because the fighting left a strong smell of blood on the nearby river, and in the river, fish were churning, eating the smell of the blood of the soldiers on both sides.

The night's battle has come to an end, and the soldiers on both sides are preparing for the next battle that will break out at an unknown time.

I didn't sleep all night, Zhuge Jun stood on the edge of the river, his brows were always locked.

He had maintained this posture and expression all night, and his gaze had remained on the opposite side of the riverbank.

There are fewer and fewer Jiangdong troops on the other side of the river, except for a group of Jiangdong troops lined up on the bank, vigilantly watching the Han army on the other side, those Jiangdong troops who are busy burying the corpses, and the figure is getting farther and farther away.

Standing on the bank of the river all night, Zhuge never thought of a way to let the war elephant cross the river.

If the river is not very deep, the war elephant can wade through the river, and although the Yu River is not very wide, the depth is unusual.

When the war elephant enters the water, it is likely to sink, and the elephant must not be a natural swimming expert, and they have to carry a well-equipped Han army on their backs.

"General, I'm afraid the raft can't bear the weight of the war elephant!" was looking at the river in a daze, and a sweet woman's voice came from Zhuge Jun's side.

The army went on the expedition, and there was only one woman with the army, and that was Mrs. Zhurong, Meng Shu's wife.

Turning his head to look at Mrs. Zhu Rong, Zhuge Jun's face finally showed an indifferent smile.

He didn't speak, what Mrs. Zhurong said was true, the raft was thin, and the war elephant stepped on it, and it was likely that the raft would be overturned.

More importantly, there were heavy war elephants on the raft, and the Han army supporting the raft was afraid that it would be too strong, and it would not be possible for the raft to go too fast, and they would undoubtedly become the best live target for the Jiangdong army on the other side.

"The general hasn't slept all night, and his eyes are dark." Looking at Zhuge Jun, Mrs. Zhurong said: "In the battle last night, although our army failed to cross the river, it also made the Jiangdong Army feel cold, and the general should not worry, this time the river crossing will not be successful, and the battle will be fought again in the future!" ”

"Madame doesn't know!" Turning his head and looking at the river, Zhuge Jun said to Mrs. Zhurong: "The imperial court crusaded against Jiangdong, and the army was blocked on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Your Majesty can rely on not an army of 600,000, but our ......."

Zhuge Jun's words made Mrs. Zhu Rong stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable pride surged in her heart.

As a barbarian, and a woman, she will one day become one of the people that the Han Emperor relied on!

She hadn't thought of this situation before, let alone dared to think about it!
