The roasted trees quickly dried, and every move of the Han soldiers was seen by the Jiangdong army on the other side of the riverbank.

The officers of the Jiangdong Army by the river, seeing that the Han army had roasted the trees, hurriedly asked people to report to Zhuge Jin.

Hearing that the Han army was roasted by a whole tree, Zhuge Jin was even more puzzled.

Sitting in the tent, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand what Zhuge Jun was going to do.

If they wanted to build a raft to cross the river, the Han army could have chosen finer timber and did not need to use a whole tree at all.

And to build a bridge, they didn't have to dry the trees.

Neither to build a bridge nor to build a raft, Zhuge Jin really couldn't understand what his younger brother wanted to do.

The soldiers of the Han army on the banks of the river were still busy transporting the felled trees and baking them until they were dry.

One by one, the trees were carried to the river, and under the roasting of the soldiers, the branches of these trees quickly withered, and even the leaves were dried and rolled together.

Carrying the dried trees to the river, the soldiers tied them tightly in one place with hemp ropes, tied them into huge rafts, and pushed them into the river.

The soldiers of the Han army, who had been waiting with crossbows for a long time, also advanced towards the river at the same time as the raft was launched, and the crossbowmen at the front even stood in shallow water.

"It's not good, the Han army wants to cross the river!" Seeing the actions of the Han army, the Jiangdong officer on the bank of the river shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The archers shoot arrows at the enemy, and immediately present them to the general!" ”

The archers of the Jiangdong Army on the bank of the river set up arrows on the bowstring, aimed at the Han army on the opposite side, and shot feather arrows.

The wind that swept over the river was not small, and before the arrows had reached the halfway point, they lost their strength, and were blown by the wind and fell into the river.

The Jiangdong army fired arrows, but the Han crossbowmen on the west bank did not fire feather arrows at them.

The crossbowman stood on the bank, holding a strong crossbow, and aimed at the Jiangdong Army on the riverbank.

The distance that the arrows could reach, they had measured earlier, and it was impossible to inflict effective damage on the Jiangdong Army when they fired feather arrows from the shore.

When they set out on the expedition, although the feathered arrows they carried were not good, after crossing the river, they would face many battles.

Using too many feathered arrows on the edge of the Yu River was obviously not wise for the strong crossbowmen of the Han army.

The order they received was not to advance to the river bank, but to force back the archers of the Jiangdong Army, at least until the elephant soldiers crossed halfway, so that the Jiangdong Army could form an effective attack on them.

Holding a strong crossbow and aiming at the opposite bank, the strong crossbowman of the Han army heard heavy footsteps behind him.

The war elephants pushed towards the bank of the river, their heavy feet on the ground, making a muffled "boom" sound, and the earth seemed to be trembling as if they were trampling on it.

The war elephants of the Han army advanced towards the bank of the river, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army on the opposite bank were shocked and disgusted.

They had never fought a barbarian before, let alone seen such a behemoth.

A pair of eyes full of fear I looked at the Han army war elephants that were about to advance to the bank of the river, many Jiangdong soldiers even opened their mouths in shock, and some archers, holding longbows, were trembling violently.

The huge rafts were pushed into the river piece by piece, and some Han soldiers jumped onto the rafts with pennies.

The Han army with pennies didn't get on the raft for a while, and the war elephants at the front also arrived at the river.

The heavy footboards of the war elephants stepped onto the raft, and the huge raft sank down a little as they boarded.

Fortunately, the rafts under their feet were made of huge trees, and their buoyancy was not comparable to that of ordinary rafts, and the heavy war elephants got on the rafts, and the rafts only sank into the water at first, and then floated again.

One by one, the war elephants got on the raft, and the Han army on the back of the elephant also raised a strong crossbow and aimed at the Jiangdong army on the opposite bank.

The arrows shot by the Jiangdong army fell on the surface of the river one after another, and the strongest one was still not a short distance away from the raft.

Even so, the officers and men of the Jiangdong Army did not stop shooting arrows.

They could have waited for the Han war elephants to reach the center of the river, and then fired arrows to prevent the Han army from crossing the river.

But the officers and men of the Jiangdong Army, including the officers, were all stunned by the appearance of war elephants, where would they think of this, but they just thought that they must not let these behemoths with long noses cross the river.

More and more war elephants got on the rafts, and soon the rafts were filled with the first war elephants to cross the river.

"The general has an order, and the elephant soldiers cross the river!" As soon as the war elephant got on the raft, a Han army officer ran to the shore quickly and loudly conveyed Zhuge Jun's order.

When the order was given, the trumpeter on the shore immediately blew the basket, and the soldiers of the Han army holding the penny on the huge raft tried their best to support the raft and headed towards the other side of the river.

The Han army on the back of the elephant also raised a strong crossbow and looked at the Jiangdong army on the other side vigilantly.

The Jiangdong army never stopped shooting arrows, and in front of the eyes of the Han soldiers, the feather arrows they shot formed a thick curtain wall, almost obscuring the sight of the Han army elephants.

The huge raft marched towards the opposite side of the riverbank, and the strong crossbowmen of the Han army, who had already set up feather arrows on the crossbow, also jumped on the small raft one after another.

The Han army, which was holding the small raft, only tried their best to stabilize the raft, and did not want the raft to move faster.

The huge raft in front of it was getting closer and closer to the arrows shot by the Jiangdong Army, and the Han Army on the back of the elephant had already pulled off the machine springs one after another and shot a puff of feathered arrows towards the Jiangdong Army.

The strong crossbowmen who followed behind the elephant soldiers also lined up in formation, and according to the experience of landing on the land, they shot arrows at the Jiangdong army on the opposite bank.

They entered the Yu River, and the distance of the arrows was of course much farther than the feather arrows shot by the Jiangdong Army.

The Jiangdong Army, which was holding arrows on the longbow and firing at the Han army, was unexpectedly attacked by the arrows of the Han army, and immediately a group of soldiers fell down with arrows.

Patches of Jiangdong Army archers were shot to the ground by the Han army, and the heavy infantry standing behind them hurriedly ran up with shields and formed a thick shield wall in front of them.

The feather arrows shot against the shield wall with a crisp "crackling" sound, although it protected the archers of the Jiangdong Army, but it also made it impossible for them to shoot arrows when they shot arrows, and they could only occasionally shoot an arrow from the gap in the shield towards the river.

The arrows of the Jiangdong army became more and more sparse, and the elephants of the Han army on the huge raft advanced much more smoothly than before.

The strong crossbowmen of the Han army who followed behind the elephant soldiers did not stop for a moment, and kept shooting arrows towards the opposite bank.

The arrows fired by both sides were intertwined, and although the feathered arrows of the Jiangdong Army were much sparse, they still shot down some Han soldiers.

Some of the arrows shot by the Jiangdong Army landed on the war elephants, pierced through the thick skin of the war elephants, and stuck in the mountains of meat in the painful screams of the war elephants, and the Wuzi still trembled slightly.

If the war horse is shot by an arrow, it is likely to fall to the ground and lose its breath, and the war elephant is very thick after all, and the skin on the body is very heavy, and the arrow hitting them can make them feel pain, but it cannot shoot them immediately.

The huge raft at the front finally came to shore, and the herd of war elephants left the raft and washed up onto the riverbank.

More and more rafts docked, and more and more war elephants rushed onto the riverbank, and the heavy infantry of the Jiangdong Army, which had been waiting for a long time, let out a shout, and the tide rushed towards the riverbank.

The Han crossbowmen did not shift their targets, they still locked onto the Jiangdong archers on the shore, and used arrows to sort out the long-range attacks that the elephants might withstand.

The elephants of the Han army who rushed to the riverbank, holding spears, poked at the Jiangdong army next to the war elephants, and the war elephants also waved their long noses and knocked the Jiangdong troops to the ground.

A Jiangdong soldier rushed to the front of the war elephant, held a short spear, and poked the war elephant's thigh, the war elephant was in pain, turned around sharply, and slapped his waist with a long nose.

The huge pumping force whipped the Jiangdong Army into the air.

As soon as his body flew into the air, before the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army could even scream, his waist suddenly tightened, and the long nose of the war elephant wrapped him around and slammed it to the ground.

The traction of the long nose of the war elephant acted on Jiang Dongbing's body, and when he was thrown to the ground, there was a sudden cracking sound from the bones all over his body, and the whole person was also blurred by the flesh and blood.

Huge war elephants rushed onto the riverbank, not only whipping and rolling up the Jiangdong Army with their long noses, but also relying on their heavy bodies, like heavy armor, to ram the Jiangdong Army blocking the way.

The first group of war elephants crossed the river, and the Han army on the west side of the river bank pulled the ropes back one by one on huge rafts, and the second group of war elephants soon boarded the rafts again.

At first, the elephants of the Han army were still surrounded on the edge of the riverbank, and later, the collision force of the herds of war elephants finally broke through the defense line of the Jiangdong army, and some of the war elephants even rushed to the rear of the Jiangdong army array.

On the bank of the river, the defense line of the Jiangdong Army has collapsed, and in the camp of the Jiangdong Army, which is not very far from the riverbank, Zhuge Jin is standing outside the tent, looking nervously at the direction of the riverbank, and a Jiangdong officer who ran back from the river hurriedly came to him, panting and clenching his fists and saying to him: "General Qiyu!" The enemy sent a behemoth, and although our army fought hard, it was always defeated, and the defense line was breached! ”

Knowing that the defense line by the river had been breached, the expression on Zhuge Jin's face was gloomy.

Having lost the Yu River, once the Han army annihilated their army, they could drive straight into Jianye.

The two Han armies advanced into Jiangdong, and any way to break through the defense line, Jiangdong, which was empty inside, could no longer have any troops to launch a counteroffensive against the Han army.

"Give the order to go down, and the army retreats!" With a look of shame and anger, Zhuge Jin shouted to the officer: "Find a nearby city, stick to the city, and deal with the enemy!" ”

The Han army had already crossed the river, and the two sides were fighting on the bank, and the Jiangdong army, which was not superior in numbers, was annihilated only a matter of time.

The officer didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly answered and conveyed Zhuge Jun's order.
