There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 355 Attacking Xiangyang
Xiangyang.

Wang Qing looked at the river with a gloomy expression.

The last time the Qilin army bombarded Xiangyang City, it has only been a few days. I thought that the Qilin army would stop for a while during the spring plowing, but how long did it take before the Qilin army came back again.

This time it was even more aggressive than the last time.

The last time Li Zhu, the military advisor, was defeated, and Wang Qing was frightened. He thought that Xiangyang City was about to be breached by the Qilin Army that time, but he didn't know that there would be no follow-up after the Qilin Army bombarded him.

Although the Qilin army withdrew afterwards, Wang Qing was also terrified by this matter for several days, and even chose to evacuate Xiangyang and go to Jiangling to hide in Jiangling the next day.

It's a pity that Jiangling City is not as prosperous as Xiangyang. After confirming that the Qilin Army will not come again for a short time, Wang Qing ran back to Xiangyang, but...

This time, I'm afraid the Qilin army is going to come for real.

Just received the news from the east bank that the cavalry of Qilin Army has crossed the Baihe River and appeared on the east bank.

"Where's Heji?"

Wang Qing asked his subordinates.

"Back to the King of Chu, General He has already led people to the east gate, where the Qilin army is preparing to cross the river."

Wang Qing nodded.

He turned his head and looked at the other side of the river. The river was foggy today, and he couldn't see the scene on the other side clearly, but the boats interspersed on the river told Wang Qing all the time that the Qilin army was coming.

Thinking back to the scene when the Qilin Army bombarded Xiangyang City and the scene of the sea of ​​flames falling from the sky, Wang Qing felt his scalp go numb, and a sense of panic rose from his heart.

Today's Xiangyang city wall is still the broken limbs after being bombarded.

This Xiangyang cannot be defended any longer.

Without the navy, Xiangyang is almost an undefended existence.

Cheng also terrain.

Defeat, but also terrain!
Hanshui surrounded Xiangyang, making Xiangyang a key sticking point, which can be attacked everywhere.

But without the navy, the Hanshui would become Xiangyang's curse, a gate to hell.

Li Jun's navy blocked the Han River, and the entire Han River was controlled by the Qilin Army.Wang Qing didn’t have many boats left in Xiangyang, and they were surrounded and suppressed by the navy when they got into the river, so that the entire Xiangyang area was divided into two parts by the Han River, one was stuck in Xiangyang and blocked by the Han River, and the other was in the east. On the other side, Xiangyang cannot be supported without ships.

Wang Qing left the north city wall.

After returning to the county office, he quietly dressed himself up as an ordinary sergeant, picked a tall horse from Xiangyang City, and after showing the mission token, he left the city from the south gate of Xiangyang and headed south I ran to Gangneung.

Stay in Xiangyang?

Ghosts are willing to stay in Xiangyang.

Today's Xiangyang can no longer be defended, and there is still a chance to escape before the Kirin Army arrives at the Hanshuixi Case in Xiangyang. When the Qilin Army comes ashore and comes ashore, if you want to run away, there will be no chance. .

Xiangyang East Gate.

He Ji didn't know which of his Chu kings had fled at this moment.

At this time, he was leading [-] soldiers to garrison on the bank of the river to defend the Qilin army from landing.

"I'm coming."

As the ships of the Qilin army approached, the dense fog had no effect. The bandits on the river bank had already seen the shadows of the ships, and a hundred small boats approached quickly.

He Ji's palm was almost squeezed out.

On the river bank, the archers were already on standby in the front row, and the bow string was full of the moon. When the Qilin army entered the range, and waited for He Ji's order, they could shoot all the arrows to kill the Qilin army on the river.

Time, a minute and a second passed.

Heji is waiting.

The entire river was peaceful.

On the river bank, it was also peaceful.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the other party to come within range.

He Ji was measuring the distance, and a lot of sweat broke out on his head.

"Closer, closer, and..."

Crossbow arrows pierced the sky all the time...

Speed, too fast.

It was so fast that He Ji couldn't react at all.

By the time he reacted, the crossbow arrows had pierced through his body, and the armor on his body was useless under the high speed of the crossbow arrows, and the huge force brought He Ji backwards.

However, when He Ji was still leaning backward, several crossbow arrows pierced He Ji's chest at high speed, and one of them pierced directly through He Ji's neck.

Heji is dead!

Pierced by more than a dozen crossbow arrows, his entire body was shot into a sieve.

His eyes were wide open, even though he was dead and fell to the ground, his eyes were still open with disbelief.

And the archers behind him, who were all on alert, were all even more confused by these crossbow arrows.

They didn't even have time to react. When they realized it, the bandits in front almost fell down in pieces.

too fast.

Too much.

The crossbow arrows were shot from the river.

On the boats, there were six Mexican soldiers holding composite crossbows standing on the bow of each boat. The range of composite crossbows was much farther than that of ordinary bows and arrows. A large number of crossbow arrows were shot at the shore, and the bandits were caught off guard.

Then Heji was even more stupid.

In order to prevent the Qilin Army from landing, most of the rebels moved closer to this side after the Qilin Army's ships approached the shore, and they all stood so concentrated, which made it easier for the Qilin Army to shoot.

Before the boat touched the shore, most of the bandit soldiers on the shore had already been killed or injured.

As for the archers, since they were standing closest to the river, those archers were the first to die.

When the Qilin army approached the shore, after the soldiers got off the boat, when those bandits saw that the Qilin army was holding heavy crossbows in their hands, if they dared to fight again there, they immediately turned around and ran back, and the soldiers of the Mo army chased them again Fan, after shooting a large number of thieves, formed a defensive formation on the river bank and temporarily controlled an area on the river bank.

After the boat transported the Mexican army, it immediately returned to the river bank to transport a new batch of soldiers.

After ten batches in succession, there are already [-] Qilin troops who have gone ashore.

The soldiers behind were continuously transported across the river by boat. On Li Chu's side, the tanks were driven onto the heavy Zhouqiao, and then the pontoon bridge vehicles carried the tanks across the Han River and transported the tanks to the other side.

After the tank crossed the river, it opened the general signal to attack Xiangyang.

The Leopard 1 tank was at the forefront, followed by [-] Qilin infantry and [-] Mexican troops. All the soldiers followed the tank with fire as their unit, and headed directly to the east gate of Xiangyang.

The tank stopped when it saw the wall of the east gate.

Li Chu told the soldiers behind to move forward through the walkie-talkie.

He got into the gunner's seat and began to search for people on the tower through the high-light telescope.

A telescope is a great thing.

The same ancient general armor is also a good thing.

The level of the position can be judged simply by the armor.

Found someone.

On the wall of the east gate, there is a man who looks like a general standing at the top of the city wall.

Just you!
Li Chu aimed the cannon barrel at the city wall, aimed at the general, stepped on his foot, the body shook slightly, and a cannonball shot out in the thick smoke from the muzzle, directly hitting the city wall and blasting the general to pieces.

After firing a shot at the top of the city, Li Chu aimed the cannon at the city gate of the east gate.

One step.

boom……
