There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 229
The name of Song Jiang is probably known to everyone in later generations.

This is not a matter of history or not, but a book of "Water Margin". Even if you haven't read the novel, have you always learned about these four great classics in school textbooks?You may have seen it in TV dramas of later generations, it can be said that he is a household name.

It's just that he is a character in a novel after all, but why did they all come here?
Not only that, but the information also stated that Lu Junyi and Lin Chong were the deputy commanders, each commanding the army.

If Song Jiang is a coincidence, what about Lu Junyi and Lin Chong?

If you don't know who Lu Junyi is, then Lin Chong's name should be familiar to you, right?His popularity is no less than that of Song Jiang, and he has also learned it in textbooks.

The appearance of Song Jiang, Lin Chong, and Liangshan heroes confused Li Chu.

Is this Outlaws of the Marsh a real story that happened in history, or is it a fictional story that was adapted and written by later generations?
Li Chu didn't watch "Water Margin". Although he knew the names of some of the characters in it, he didn't watch the plot and story. , Now that Song Jiang has appeared here, it seems that this Water Margin should have happened for real.

Before time travel, when Li Chu studied the history of the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he didn't seem to see the shadow of Liangshan.

Letting aside Water Margin, 20 troops came, and this matter immediately became the most urgent matter for the Qilin Army.

Sure enough, as Li Chu and Shi Tianyi guessed, the imperial court sent troops after this year, and it was 20 at first.

One million is not a small number.

This time the imperial court sent out such an effort to encircle and suppress, not only to deal with the Qilin army, but also to prepare to take down Wang Qing in one go.This point is known to the Qilin Army, but due to geographical location, if the imperial court wants to destroy Wang Qing, it must first pass through the Qilin Army's chassis. Go straight to the Qilin army.

Immediately, Li Chu dispatched two cavalrymen, Ma Feng and Ning Rong, out of Xiangcheng County to capture Yangdi.

Yangdi's defenders had already gathered at Yingchang Mansion, but there was no garrison there, so Ma Fengningrong was allowed to seize Yangdi and gain the upper hand.

To the northeast of Xiangcheng County, there are all open plains, but on the southwest side there are Pingdingshan mountain ranges, so the cavalry must be released first. Once the cavalry is out of the cage, it will be more difficult for the officers and soldiers to hunt down. There were many, and at the same time, soldiers were asked to dig trenches outside the city gate as a precaution. At the same time, Li Han was ordered to lead [-] soldiers out of Xiangcheng and stationed in Yingqiao Town.

After Li Han led the army to Yingqiao Town, he immediately implemented Shi Tianyi's plan and led his troops to the upper reaches of the Yinghe River to cut off the Yingshui River.

In winter, the river water source itself is scarce. Once the upper reaches of the river are cut off, the lower reaches of the river will gradually dry up.

While the water was cut off here, people were ordered to build all kinds of sandbags and pile them up on the high ground southwest of Yingqiao Town. One of them formed a fortification, and the other was used to prevent floods and prevent the river from flooding the residential buildings in the town.

The Leopard 1 tank was also driven by Li Qun to Yingqiao Town and was on standby at any time.

At the same time, the two arsenals in Rufen Town also began to step up the production of incendiary bottles.

These two arsenals were built by Li Chu after he returned from Yanchang County. Blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen from Xiangcheng County, Jiangdian Town, and Rufen Town were gathered together, and many apprentices were recruited at the same time. He and workers established these two arsenals, which are mainly responsible for the production of incendiary bottles and siege equipment, such as siege vehicles and catapults.

As early as years ago, these two arsenals had already produced part of the inventory, but it was obviously not enough to face the upcoming war.

The northern part of Wancheng in Nanyang is a large mountain range. Now Wang Qing's [-] troops in Nanyang have been disabled. The crisis from Nanyang is temporarily lifted, so Li Chu mobilized another thousand soldiers from Lushan County to Xiangcheng County. Frontier garrison.

Lushan is surrounded by high mountains. Except for the exit of Pingdingshan, it can be said that it is in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Now the road on Pingdingshan is difficult, and there is Yudai River blocking the road. If the Song Dynasty also sent troops from Xijing , must also go through Liang County, Jia County, and then enter Xiangcheng County from Yingqiao Town. This route is the route of Ma Fenglai.

If they came from Xijing, Shi Tianyi didn't think there would be too many people coming.

Li Chu took Chen Zu as his general and led 1000 people to garrison Changqiao Town, east of Jiaxian County, to hold the crossing of the river.

Ask Shen Ning to lead 500 people, plus 1000 private soldiers from the Shen family and Wu family, to go to a place called Cigou next to the Rushui River in the south of Xiangcheng County.Rufen Town has a natural geographical advantage, that is, the Fushui River and Rushui River converge in the east of Rufen Town, forming a protective wall. The two rivers are wide and spacious without bridges, thus forming a A natural danger.

If the garrisons from Yancheng and Linying to the east came to join in, they would have no choice but to walk along the river.Here we only need to station one soldier in Cigou to stop the reinforcements from both places.

Still like Xijing, there will not be many reinforcements from these two places, so Shen Ning's 1000 people are enough.

The main purpose has to be in Yingchang Mansion, which will be the main attack direction of the imperial army.

Although Wang Qing had been defeated, it was inevitable that this person would be in the dark when the imperial army came to encircle and suppress him. Li Chu then allocated 1000 men to station at the Fangcheng Mountain Pass in the southwest of Ye County, and at the same time garrisoned [-] troops in Ye County.

As the order after order was issued here, the entire Xiangcheng County and Rufen Town were mobilized.

Not only soldiers and officials, but even some ordinary people spontaneously organized to help the Qilin army when they heard that the imperial army was coming. Most of the places they could help were in logistics, such as delivering food, clothes, Delivering water and such.Especially the people in Rufen Town, in the past two or three months, everyone has noticed the kindness of the Qilin Army to everyone, and the Qilin Army is also a local soldier, how can they sit idly by?

How can you care about Song Ting when you have your heart set?

When the battle here was busy, suddenly a messenger came over to send a message, saying that a businessman asked to see Li Chu.

Businessmen are responsible for their own China Merchants Bureau.

The messenger said that this person was different from other businessmen, but said that he wanted to join the Qilin Army.

Because Li Chu had ordered before, if someone comes to vote, they can inform Li Chu according to the situation.

"Okay, please ask them to wait in the reception room on the second floor of Qingfeng Xulai Hotel. I will be there right away."

The political center of Rufen Town hadn't been built yet. When Shi Tianyi came to find Li Chu with news, Li Chu was in his small courtyard. Due to the seriousness of the matter, this small courtyard temporarily became a small headquarters. All the generals have come here to take orders.
