There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 205
Outside Qingliangshan Camp.

Looking at the group of defeated troops besieging the gate of the camp, Li Chu got a dumbfounding answer.

"Master Commander, our battalion has not been destroyed, the entire battalion has been wiped out, and we are the only ones left."

"Yeah, our battalion is similar. There are more than 400 battalions in the whole battalion. Now there are more than 20 left. I beg you to recruit us."

"Master Commander, your soldiers are the bravest. We want to join your army and fight the Xixia people together to avenge my dead brothers."

"Commander, we are all soldiers of the Western Army, and we are all brave in battle. I beg Commander to let us join."

Li Chu raised his hand, motioning everyone to stop and be quiet.This group of defeated soldiers wanted to join the Qilin Army, and Li Chu also wanted to accept them in his heart, but there was one more important thing, which was how the situation in the north was.

When discussing matters in the city just now, the city didn't get much information, and the more specific news had to fall on this group of rout soldiers.

When Li Chu asked about this matter, everyone talked about the situation in the north one after another, and Li Chu had a detailed understanding after hearing it.

On the northern line of defense in Yan'an, there are more than 1 forbidden troops stationed here, most of them are stationed along the Changchengling area, because this has always been the entrance where the Xixia people most often attack the Song Dynasty. The throat is blocked, and it is difficult for Xixia people to enter.

Unexpectedly, this time the Xixia people went east and west, bypassing the endless Baigan Mountains, forcibly crossing mountains and ridges to attack Yan'an. As a result, they attacked Changcheng Ridge internally and externally.

Among this group of defeated troops, only a few retreated from Changcheng Ridge. According to him, the group of forbidden troops stationed at Changcheng Ridge was almost wiped out, and most of these defeated troops came from Ansai In these two places, Pingrong and Pingrong, during the Xixia attack, they fought and retreated. Some of them were divided and lost contact with the main force, and some of the entire battalion was wiped out, and then they were chased here by this group of Xixia people.

As for the reasons for requesting to join the Qilin Army, what the higher-ups shouted is the same thing, and more importantly, they are all forbidden troops in the north, and in the area around Yan'an Mansion, Li Chu's military rank is the highest in the military system, and the other four are Xiang Jun, they will not beg to go, and the other two battalions are all battalion commanders, one is that they have no authority, and the other is their inner pride, they look down on this group of people who are stationed in the interior and enjoying their lives.

In addition, the Qilin army took the initiative to attack the Xixia people and saved their lives.Then they heard the good news that the Qilin Army wiped out the Xixia people, and they thought that the Qilin Army was the place where they could avenge or make contributions, and the equipment of the Qilin Army also made everyone envious.

Commander Li is definitely a good general who loves his soldiers as much as his sons, otherwise he would not have spent so much money to equip his subordinates with such good equipment and weapons, which are much better than those in their original Forbidden Army.

And Li Chu naturally welcomes them to join.

This is a group of veterans.

Being able to survive the battle with the Xixia people is a kind of strength in itself, not to mention the Western Army who lives in the northwest border and fights with the Xixia people all the year round.

As for the collapse of the army, it doesn't matter much, as long as they don't take the initiative to flee, it doesn't matter much. In this military system, many soldiers who were defeated and retreated from the battlefield joined the new army camp to fight again.

What Li Chu's current army lacks are veterans who have been fighting all year round.Whether it is the Qilin Army, the Hushui Army, or the Quick Reaction Force, his subordinates still belong to the New Army. The Quick Reaction Force is a bit special. Most of them are the first batch of soldiers who followed Li Chu. They have also experienced a lot of battles, and they can barely count Be a soldier.

But the group in Rufen Town is different. There are more than 3000 soldiers at the South Day Camp in Jiangdian Town who have not been on the battlefield after training. Moreover, Shi Tianyi has issued a recruitment order on his own initiative, recruiting another 3000 soldiers. , So far, the total number of Li Chu's soldiers totals more than 8000.

Counted the number of the defeated army, 660 six people.

666, this number is a bit 6.

Among this group of defeated troops, the captain with the highest military rank was also a hundred-man general, while all the battalion commanders at a higher level were killed in battle.

Immediately, Li Chu mixed all these defeated troops into a reinforced battalion, appointed Ding Wu as the battalion commander of this battalion, and the hundred-man general served as the deputy commander. meritorious deeds will be determined for promotion and so on.

This battalion was temporarily released under the name of Qilin Army.

Six hundred and sixty-six veterans, this time they picked up a treasure.

Ding Wu was flattered, and only went out twice with Li Chu, and he was directly appointed as the commander of the battalion. This was unthinkable before. He had quietly followed Pengju to the town to play, and he was particularly envious of those commanders. , I didn’t expect that in just a few days, I would already be in this position.

Although it was included under the name of the Qilin Army, it couldn't just let it go.

In addition, it is now a time of war, and it is needed at any time, but it is not easy to issue such sophisticated equipment and weapons just after Li Chu is recruited.

So Li Xuan was appointed as the teaching captain of this battalion, responsible for training and adapting this new army of veterans.

Li Chu went to the city to look for Zhizhou He with the latest news.

After recruiting this group of rout soldiers, I got a piece of good news by accident.

Thirty thousand Xixia people flooded into Yan'an Mansion. Although the slogan was [-], the actual number should be around [-]. In addition to the fighting along the way, many Xixia people also died in battle, and the northern part of Yan'an was not completely lost. The Xixia people did not choose to capture a large area, but came across Yan'an like a sharp sword.

On the road from Changchengling to Yan'an, there are still many remnants of the Western Army attacking and harassing the Xixia people from time to time.

Therefore, it is estimated that there will not be too many Xixia people who can go to Yan'an Mansion, and the maximum number will not exceed 7000.

7000 people!
This eased the tension in the entire Fushi City. If there were 7000 people, and the Xixia people are not good at attacking fortifications, at least most of the Xixia soldiers are like this. Then wait for reinforcements from the Western Army. When the reinforcements arrive, the Xixia people will naturally retreat.

As soon as the Xixia people retreated, the safety of Fushi City was passed.

On the morning of the second day, He Zhizhou invited Li Chu and others to Fucheng to discuss matters. Although it was a matter of discussion, it was actually a banquet for everyone to eat and drink.

Just when He Zhizhou was smiling, a battle report came, but the result shocked everyone.

"Report, a large number of Xixia people have appeared near Qinghua Town, the number, the number is about 5000..."

"What, Qinghua Town."

He Zhizhou sat up in shock, and Li Chu also sat up in shock.

Why did this Xixia man go to Qinghua Town?

"No, the Xixia people's purpose is probably not in Fushi City anymore. Zhizhou He, Mr. Li is about to leave, and the Qilin army will also withdraw from Fushi City."

Li Chu immediately stood up and said goodbye to He Zhizhou. This time the Xixia people only sent less than 5000 people to drive the defeated army to attack Fushi City, but more than [-] people ran to Qinghua Town. He felt very uneasy. premonition.

This city of Fushi cannot stay here any longer.
