Yangtze River, Liyang Water Village.
After receiving the news that Gan Ning defeated Cheng Pu, Pang Tong no longer hesitated.
Immediately dispatch 50,000 Eastern troops to cross the Yangtze River and launch an attack on the other side.
Sun Quan's defense force left on the shore was only 5,000 people.
Fifty thousand versus five thousand, a tenfold difference!
It was originally a battle without any suspense, but during the attack, some changes occurred.
An hour after the war started, the Qin army had made no progress except for occupying the entire Yangtze River waterway.
The land on the other side of the river east of Jiangdong was so stunned that I didn't even take a step forward!
"What! Got beaten back again?"
Pang Tong listened to the reports of Huang Quan and Wei Yan, his face flashing with anger.
What a joke!
One hundred thousand Jiangdong naval forces were defeated in one blow, but five thousand Jiangdong troops could not take them down!
If Liu Zhang knew this, where would Pang Tong's face turn?
Wei Yan's face was red and full of shame.
But he had to explain it like he was making excuses.
"Military advisor, the landing area on the other side of the river is very small, and Jiangdong military camps are densely packed, making it impossible for our army to deploy."
Huang Quan, who controlled part of the navy, also nodded helplessly.
"Military advisor, Jiangdong Army has become smarter. If they don't come out, they will hide in the camp and shoot arrows."
"They have cover, but our soldiers have no cover. When these two shoot down, they are completely at a disadvantage!"
The role of the navy in the landing battle was only to send the soldiers to the other side as much as possible.
As for launching a counterattack, it would be a barrage of arrows at best.
One is naked on the boat, and the other has a bunker in the camp. The result is obvious at a glance.
Once again, the soldiers were sent to the other side. They could only use small boats like stern boats, which even stern boats could not get close to.
The number of soldiers transported each time was extremely limited, resulting in almost no progress.
The current Jiangdong Army Camp is like a big pot, and the soldiers of the Qin Army are all idiots.
The further you fill it, the higher the temperature inside the pot will be!
In addition, the place where you can land on the other side is a dangerous place between two mountains, and the location is narrow.
With the layout of the camp, it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Even Wei Yan and Huang Quan, who have experienced hundreds of battles, can't help but shake their heads and sigh, helpless.
"Wen Chang, Gong Heng, when King Qin was here, our army defeated Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Cao Cao and other hundreds of thousands of troops."
"Now that the King of Qin is in the rear, shouldn't we be able to advance even an inch?"
"I, Pang Tongyi, have a small reputation. If I am criticized for causing trouble for the Eastern Army, that is a big crime!"
"I heard that the Imperial Guards were making rapid progress in the hinterland of Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong army was so defeated that they abandoned their armor. Xu Yuanzhi has also invaded Kuaiji County, and the good news is being announced every day!"
Pang Tong looked at the two of them with eagerness and unwillingness.
"Even if our Eastern Army stops here, I believe that all armies will still win consecutive battles, and Sun Quan will be destroyed soon."
"But, are we willing to be said that the Eastern Army is timid?"
According to the current situation, Sun Quan's demise has become a settlement.
Not that there is no progress along the way that can be changed.
But Pang Tong was unwilling to give in. Who doesn't want to win a great victory and be the first to capture Sun Quan?
"Eh!"
Wei Yan lost his temper and waved his fist angrily.
"The military advisor is right. The Eastern Army is invincible and must not be looked down upon!"
"If you can't capture a small river bank, how can you have the dignity to meet the King of Qin!"
Huang Quan's eyes also became sharp.
In the final analysis, the main responsibility for failing to capture Jiang'an lies with the navy.
As the commander of the naval force, if you can't even send people up, what are you going to do with food?
"Military advisor, the two of us will attack again!"
With that said, he was about to pull Wei Yan back to the front line.
Pang Tong took a step forward and stopped the two of them.
"Wait a minute."
Pang Tong was very clear about the abilities of Wei Yan and Huang Quan.
Especially Huang Quan, as the commander-in-chief, has a strong sense of the overall situation.
Previous defeats were definitely not a matter of command and decision-making.
Pang Tong concluded that Jiangdong Army's defense was too good.
Now that the two of them are hot-headed, if they try to fight Jiang Dongjun, the result will not be very good.
Therefore, urgency cannot be based on blood and courage.
Otherwise, another failure will affect the morale of the entire army!
"Military advisor, do you have any other orders?"
"General Huang, I asked you to explore the terrain before. How is it?"
"If it weren't for the military advisor, I would have almost forgotten about it!"
Huang Quan quickly reached into his arms and took out the map that had been drawn.
As early as when Liu Zhang went north to deal with Cao Cao and Zhou Yu joined forces, Pang Tong began to launch a landing battle.
The ferry opposite is narrow, and there are mountains on both sides as barriers.
As long as you have a little bit of military common sense, you will know that this is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Therefore, Pang Tong is also trying to find other paths.
Huang Quan understood Pang Tong's intention very well and quickly explained.
"Military advisor, this is already the best place to land."
"On both sides, the north and south are more than a hundred miles apart."
"There are Jiangdong troops stationed in Yanbian, and our soldiers cannot investigate deeply."
Pang Tong looked at the map and frowned.
He had anticipated this situation and had been thinking hard about a solution.
After a moment of silence, Wei Yan took the initiative to express his thoughts.
"Military advisor, Jiangdong Army only has a few thousand people. They have also been damaged in these rounds of fierce attacks."
"It is better to divide the army into ten parts and attack each one for an hour. In this way, the attack will never stop day and night!"
"We have more people, so the soldiers can get enough rest, but there are few soldiers in Jiangdong and they can't get time to breathe."
"In this case, within a few days, Jiangdong Army can be dragged to death!"
Pang Tong nodded slightly, feeling that this method was more feasible.
The military strength currently used for the offensive is ten times that of Jiangdong Army!
Even if a human life is exchanged for a human life, Jiangdong Army cannot sustain it!
However, this was not Pang Tong's original intention.
The soldiers of the Eastern Army have been trained for many years, and every one of them is an elite soldier.
Using their lives in exchange for the lives of Jiangdong Army soldiers is a loss no matter how you look at it!
Pang Tong was good at budgeting, so how could he be so extravagant and wasteful?
Otherwise, Pang Tong would have come down like this at the beginning of the attack.
"Chang Wen, although your strategy is good, it will cause quite a lot of damage."
Wei Yan didn't care and responded casually.
In his opinion, Pang Tong was somewhat womanly.
"Military advisor, how can anyone survive in this battle?"
"As long as we break through the river bank, we can reach the east of the Yangtze River! Don't lose the big for the small!"
