There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 418 Capture Danyang County

The four city gates have been seized, and the gates are immediately closed.

Danyang's guards were assembled in two large camps outside the city, and there were not many guards in the city. Coupled with the news that the Qilin army had taken down Changzhou and came to Danyang, Lu Shinang dispatched the army to the east of the Grand Canal. The city went to the front, so that the defense of the city was empty.

The gates of the four cities have been captured by the Qilin army.

Close the door and beat the dog.

None of the bandits in the city could escape.

Outside the gate of the west city, Wang Delin stared blankly at the Qilin army who had captured four gates.

This battle has refreshed his understanding of war.

refreshed his worldview.

This……

He was stunned.

The three thousand Tongzhou headquarters officers and soldiers behind him were also dumbfounded.

This……

They, they haven't entered the city yet!

Because he is not familiar with the Qilin army's style of play, and his own troops are not as good as the Qilin army in terms of military quality and coordination, Wang Delin chose to follow behind the Qilin army, so that he would not be delayed due to his own headquarters. The original style of play of the Qilin Army.

But, but, this damn.

His cognition was completely refreshed.

They followed the Qilin Army. Before they entered the city, as soon as they reached the city gate, the Qilin Army had already captured Danyang County.

He finally saw the Qilin army's style of play.

His expression changed at this moment.

The power of this cannon is so terrifying?
Three miles away, the ironwood door was shattered with just one shot.

The city itself is a base against the enemy.

But this city is so vulnerable under artillery fire.

He thought it would be shocking to have such a cannon on board, but he didn't expect that such a cannon was also installed on this self-moving car.

Not just the artillery, but also the crossbow bolts.

He quickly discovered the difference between the Qilin Army's crossbow and other crossbows.

Although the crossbow is very powerful, its range is limited, its accuracy is not as good, and it takes a long time to reload.

The imperial court had crossbows, but they were not as useful as bows and arrows.

When he first saw that the entire Qilin army was equipped with this crossbow, he scoffed at it, thinking that the combat effectiveness of the Qilin army was a bit of a joke.

Now when we are marching and fighting, how many people are carrying crossbows?

Even with crossbows, they are still some small-scale teams, they belong to the subordinate reserve, and they are responsible for the role of fire support. How can it be used as the main battle weapon?
But now, he was wrong.

After seeing the astonishing range of the crossbow, he was wrong, very wrong.

This crossbow arrow can shoot so far?

Farther than a bow and arrow?
This is still playing with a ball.

If this is a war with the imperial army, the imperial army is equipped with bows and arrows, and the Qilin army is equipped with crossbows. This has not yet entered the range of bows and arrows, and this side has already entered the range of this crossbow, plus the power of crossbows.

Not only that, Wang Delin also discovered that the reloading time of this crossbow is much shorter than that of those big crossbows of the imperial court, at least doubled.

No wonder, no wonder the Qilin army uses crossbows as their main battle weapon.

With such a crossbow in hand, what is there to be afraid of?
By the time Wang Delin entered the city, the situation in Danyang County had been completely brought under control.

Lu Shinang caught it.

The only regret is that a few messengers ran away.

When the Qilin Army attacked the west gate, these messengers had quickly taken Lu Shinang's token and ran to the east to ask for help.

save it.

I wish you could come to my rescue.

Now the situation can be reversed.

Six strategies to defeat many with fewer enemies.

Now the Kirin Army occupies three of them.

One is rolling for equipment and weapons.

The second is to defend against the city.

The third is to kill the enemy commander in battle.

Lu Shi's bag is in his hands, and Danyang County is also controlled by the Qilin Army. If the 7 thieves from the east want to attack, they can resist the city and defend it, and then use the range of the compound crossbow to shoot at the top of the city. This will There is nothing that [-] people can do against their own people.

Li Chu's only worry is that there are smart people among these 7 people.

I am not afraid that he will return to aid Danyang County, but I am afraid that he will not return.

Now that Wang Delin has led his 3000 troops to directly follow the Qilin Army, there is no defense force in the three counties of Jintan, Changzhou, and Jiangyin.

Once these 7 troops lead an army to kill stupid Changzhou, it will be fun.

"Go, let some thieves out of the city, especially some direct descendants of Lu Shinang, remember, only release warriors."

This is because they are afraid that those who will not come, let these people out to let them take care of them, there is no way to come and save them, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the higher authorities in the future.

Not long after giving the order, Ding Wu came over with Lu Shinang on his back.

Lu Shinang is still in a daze until now.

He never imagined that the Qilin army would come over all of a sudden.

Isn't the Qilin Army in the west, in Ruzhou on Jingxi South Road?

They arrived in Changzhou quietly and captured Changzhou.

That's not counting, I have dispatched all the soldiers and horses to defend the east, how did the Qilin army come here?
There was no sign at all, and he suddenly appeared outside the West City.

Appear as soon as it appears, but this city gate, how can you say that the city gate is broken, it is broken. Just now I heard that a large number of enemies appeared outside the west city. Yes, the enemy has come in...

"You guys, are you really the Qilin Army?"

After being brought in front of Li Chu, Lu Shinang still couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe what happened before him.

"Well, I am Li Chu, General Qilinwei."

"You, aren't you in Ruzhou on Jingnan Road?"

"Huh? That's right, the imperial court appointed me as the transfer envoy of Southwest Beijing Road."

Lu Shinang cried: "Then why are you here?"

"Rescuing the people in the south of the Yangtze River is in dire straits."

"Then why are you attacking us? My Shenggong is cooperating with you."

"Cooperation, is there any? The only cooperation between Fang La and my Qilin Army is to buy 20 cans of Laoganma Douchi from me. This business cooperation is a business. Although you are an uprising army, your behavior after the uprising will make people all over the world... They are all resentful, raped and plundered, they are doing evil everywhere, the people all over the world are angry, everyone wants to eat your meat and drink your blood, my Qilin army obeys the people's will, and comes to cut off your thieves and evils."

"you……"

Lu Shinang almost vomited blood.

He is Fang La's direct descendant, and he knows that Fang La went to Ruzhou to buy [-] sets of equipment and armor from the Qilin Army. In his opinion, the Qilin Army is just like them trying to destroy the Song court. They thought it would be the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, but they did not expect that it was the Qilin Army who came here.

"Take him down, seal his mouth, and push him outside the south gate."

Ding Wu took the order and went down.

The 7 bandit soldiers in Danyang were all the way to the east of the Grand Canal, and they couldn't catch up for a while.

All the way to the mouth of the canal bank, this must be the first to get the news and come to support.

This road is close to the south gate, so it will definitely come from the south gate.
