There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 398 Tongzhou
Huainan East Road, Tongzhou.

It took the Feiyu thirteen hours to fly from Rufen Town to reach here.

Li Chu had already selected an open and open area here through the satellite map for the Flying Fish to land.

This Tongzhou, that is, the side of Houshi Modu, is opposite the river bank of Modu.

Below Tongzhou is Chongming Island.

However, the city of Tongzhou City is not located here, but to the west, towards Jiangyin and Changshu.

The place where the Flying Fish landed was not far to the northeast of Tongzhou.

At this time, the sky was still extremely dark, Li Chu looked at the time, it was 04:30 in the morning, and it would be dawn in a while.

Open the hatch of the airship, and let the soldiers get off the airship slowly, and let their commanders take them away for repairs.Ten Dongfeng Warriors also slowly dismounted from the airship behind the Leopard 1 medium tank, and the heavy pontoon vehicle was the last to dismount.

There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the bridges at this time cannot bear the weight of tanks at all. If you want to walk and intersect here, you must accompany the pontoons.

Choosing Tongzhou as the landing point was decided by Li Chu and Shi Tianyi after researching with a satellite map.Also because of the terrain restrictions on the Jiangnan side, we had to choose the side near the estuary.

There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, but these rivers rarely flow into the Yangtze River, and the rivers that flow into the Yangtze River are all in the two lakes and Jiangxi, and on the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road, because there are many mountains, the rivers are all along the mountains and rivers Instead, it took the Qiantang River and merged into the sea.

This leads to a very embarrassing problem, the navy!

The navy can't directly attack Liangzhe Road along the Yangtze River. It has to make a big circle, enter the sea from the Yangtze River, and then turn to the Qiantang River along the coast to play its role, otherwise the two sides are too far apart.

This is why Li Chu chose Tongzhou as a temporary base, and it was also convenient for Lu Junyi's army to come along the east road.

Looking at the sky, it is estimated that it is getting brighter.

500 people were left here to guard the flying fish airship, and the remaining 500 people, together with Li Chu, who drove the Leopard 1 tank in front, the army all went west to find Jinghai City.

When we arrived near Jinghai City, the sky was already bright, and we met many people who were about to enter the city on the road, but they were terrified. This uniform standard equipment, and ten big bumps that can move on their own, opened the way ahead. Those who didn't know thought that the Japanese pirates were attacking.

Li Chu didn't intend to hide it, and directly stated that the soldiers and horses were coming to Jinghai City.

The guards at the city gate also spotted Li Chu's side, and saw that there were thousands of people in the darkness ahead. The guards were terrified, and hurriedly sent people to the city to ask Zhou Zun for help. All the hula people called over, shouting that the Japanese pirates are coming.

As soon as they heard about the Japanese pirates, all the guards in the city mobilized, and within a short time they all put on weapons and armor and rushed to the city gate.

The bowstring on the city gate has been drawn high, and every guard's face is surprisingly calm and cautious.

"Hey, these officers and soldiers seem to be different. It's a surprise that so many guards can be organized in a short period of time at this point in time."

On the Leopard 1 tank, I was a little surprised to see the reaction of these soldiers on the gate of Jinghai City through the telescope.Not only that, Li Chu also noticed the expressions of these soldiers, especially the officers and soldiers in the front row on the city wall, there was no trace of panic or fear on their faces.

This……

Li Chu immediately put away his contempt for Jinghai City.

This group of officers and soldiers guarding is definitely a soldier of hundreds of battles, otherwise there would not be such a calm and rapid formation of defense.

There are probably some experts in Jinghai City.

"Order to go on, the army will not enter the city, but camp two miles outside the city."

Li Chu asked Li Qun to stop the tank. He jumped off the Leopard 1 tank and asked someone to bring a horse over. He got on the horse and took Yang Zhi, Ding Wu, Feng Yu and a team The soldiers walked under the gate of Jinghai City.

At this time, on the tower, Wang Delin, the deputy inspection envoy of Jinghai Zhizhi, had also come to the tower to learn about the situation.

"Looking at the costumes of these people, they are not Japanese pirates. Please wait a moment and take a look before talking." The Qilin Army camped two miles away, and Li Chu came over with a few people. This made Wang Delin breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at this group of people, The clothes are not in the style of the Japanese country. They are all standard equipment. Looking at these soldiers walking neatly and orderly, this must be a well-trained army. Where can the Japanese pirates have such training? and soldiers?

If he really wanted to, he would have already fought for hegemony in Japan, so why would he be a bandit at sea?

It doesn't look like an enemy, but he has doubts on his face. Where is this army? How did he come here? He hasn't received any relevant orders from the court, and he came from the east. No wonder he His subordinates will mistake them for Japanese pirates.

"Who is in front?"

Li Chu signaled to Feng Yu, Feng Yu immediately rode forward alone, took out a token from his arms, held it up high, and shouted: "We are the Qilin Army on the Southwest Road of Beijing. On this official business, my family’s Great General Li Chu is here in person at the bottom of the city, who is on the top of the city, please open the city gate quickly.”

Qilin Army?
Even though Wang Delin was in Tongzhou hundreds of miles away, he had heard of the Qilin Army that is now known all over the world, but he did not expect that this Qilin Army had actually arrived in Tongzhou.Wang Delin was shocked, and looked at the group of people below the city carefully, it was rumored that the Qilin army was wearing a fiery red robe outside the armor, and looking at the group of people below the city, it was probably true.

"Wang Delin, the Deputy Inspection Envoy of Xiajinghai, please wait a moment for General Li, and I will open the city gate for you."

Wang Delin no longer doubted the authenticity of the Qilin Army's identity. After telling the city his name and position, he ran down the city gate and opened the city gate himself.

This is Tongzhou, not Ruzhou, who would foolishly come to Tongzhou to pretend to be the Qilin Army?
This is pretending to be the army stationed in Changzhou and Taizhou, and pretending to be the Qilin army, wouldn't it be a joke.

He is a man who understands soldiers, and seeing that the soldiers in the city are so well-trained, it is definitely not something that some rebels or Japanese pirates can have. In addition, there is only a group of people behind Li Chu, and the army is still two miles away. , What's the matter, the city will be able to completely eat this group of people by then.

After the door opened, Wang Delin saw the badge of General Qilin Army and Guards, and confirmed his identity.

Then he respectfully invited Li Chu and others into the city.

Tongzhou is located in a special place because the sea crosses the border. On the other side of the sea, there is the Japanese kingdom. Over the years, Japanese pirates have been attacking the southeast coast. Therefore, there is no prefecture in Tongzhou like the inland one, but with The Zhizhishi replaced the Zhizhou. In addition to handling the administrative affairs of a state, it also controlled and took charge of the military power.
