There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 426 If there is anyone who flinches, kill them immediately!

On the side of the bandit army, there are no statistics on those who died.

As for the captives, a total of 2000 people were captured.

At least 5000 people fled.

Then the bandits died or injured at least [-] or so.

"First take these captives out of the East City, build a captive camp next to the Grand Canal, and temporarily place them there. They will only be given one meal a day for the past few days, and then wait for my news, and then change the meal. .”

Li Chu followed Shi Tianyi's plan and planned to incorporate these captives, but they still needed some means.

Now there are a lot of people running here, and it is estimated that some people will flee to Jiangning. Fang La will know the news soon, so in order to prevent this group of people from causing trouble later, I can only give them once a day for the past few days. It's good to hang them for a meal, otherwise they won't be so peaceful and honest when they have strength.

This is also the reason for placing them in the east. There is the Grand Canal in the east, and Fang La's attack also came from the west. This group of people can't get in touch.

In the north of Danyang, there is also Dantu.

In order to prevent Dantu's bandit soldiers from being on the same line with Fang La's people at that time, after waiting for Danyang to stabilize, Li Chu led two thousand Qilin troops to attack Dantu northward.

On the Danyang side, 3000 people from Yang Zhi and Wang Delin were stationed here.

The Leopard 1 tank, along with Li Chu, marched on Dantu with the two thousand Qilin army.

Dantu is a city by the river.

All the ferries at Jiangkou were burned by bandit soldiers. At the ferry, bandit soldiers even destroyed the ferry here in order to prevent the imperial army from crossing the river. Can't log in here.

If the landing channel here is blocked, the significance of the Dantu County will not be so great. In addition, there is Danyang in the south, so there are less than [-] bandit soldiers in Dantu.

Five thousand thieves.

How long can five thousand bandit soldiers resist under artillery fire?
I don't know where this Dantu got the news that the Qilin Army is attacking Danyang. The defender didn't know what to think, but he brought two thousand soldiers to Danyang to support him. Ce immediately beheaded the general with a thousand swords, and the rest of the people were shot back by the crossbow arrows after a wave of charge, and immediately fled back in fright, and after being chased by the Qilin army, they all chose to surrender.

So Li Chu sent this group of bandits who surrendered as the vanguard to talk about surrendering Dantu.

There were two main generals of Dantu, one led troops to support Danyang and was killed, and the other stayed behind. The person who stayed behind saw the Qilin army and led his troops to fight Li Chu immediately. However, before he even left the city, he was killed by several people beside him. A bandit soldier was tied up, and then the bandit will take the initiative to send to Li Chu.

This scene surprised Li Chu quite a bit.

After this questioning, I found out that these people were originally from a small local family. After Dantu County was occupied by bandit soldiers, they had no choice but to join Fang La's bandit army. out.

Not only them, half of Dantu's [-] rebel soldiers were forcibly recruited by local people.

Li Chu ordered that this person be temporarily appointed as the magistrate of Dantu County, ordering him to rectify Dantu County, detain the soldiers who were originally bandit soldiers in Dantu County, and hand them over to Li Chu to take them back to Danyang, while Dantu was left behind. These people continue to defend and wait for Runzhou to completely calm down. If these forced-conscripted people are willing to continue serving the people, they can be allowed to return home to farm.

After returning to Danyang, Li Chu ordered a large number of shovels and hoes, and then asked the soldiers to dig trenches outside the east city of Danyang.

Estimated, it will take at least two days to get the news from Fang La, withdraw from the Jiangning battlefield, and then return to counterattack Danyang. If it is good, it will give Li Chu three days.

Three days is enough for many things.

Fangla's banditry had no cavalry, and the trenches were mainly used for defense.

The weapon of the Qilin army is a composite crossbow. Although the range is very long, once the opponent swarms up, how much time can be left for you to reload the crossbow?

The first function of the trench is to allow soldiers to stay in the trench and shoot.

Secondly, after retreating from the trench, it will take time for Fang La's bandit soldiers to cross the trench. This time can give the soldiers on the wall and the soldiers below the city enough time to reload and shoot the crossbow.

Originally, they wanted to dig a small river from the Grand Canal to surround Danyang and form a moat, but there was not much time left for this side, and the project of digging the moat was too big, and the soldiers of the Qilin Army alone It must be too late, and the captives, Li Chu, were worried about giving them the shovel. Otherwise, once they got the weapons, digging the river would be the next priority. I'm afraid they might throw the shovel at the soldiers of the Qilin Army if they were encouraged by someone.

There was one more thing to do than dig a trench.

Li Chu ordered hundreds of soldiers and set off with ten Dongfeng warriors. These soldiers would get into the car if they could.

Even Li Chu's tank was covered with a large number of soldiers.

It's a pity that the three liberation vehicles didn't follow, otherwise they could have brought more soldiers.

Now, the only thing that worried Li Chu was that Fang La would jump over the wall in a hurry.

In case Fangla knew that Danyang had been broken and that the army's stock was captured by the Qilin army, he did not retreat, but followed this group of mourning soldiers to attack Jiangning directly and desperately.

Regardless of whether he can defeat Jiang Ning, once Fang La attacks like this, Jiang Ning will definitely force Li Jun's [-] sailors to go ashore to fight, and it will be a loss at that time.

The current water army is not equipped with the soft iron armor of the Qilin army. The only weapon is the Xiuchun knife. Whether it is defense or weapon, it is not much better than ordinary Song officers and soldiers. Moreover, they are a water army and are good at water warfare. , Once on the shore, the casualties must be very heavy.

In order to prevent Fang La from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Li Chu decided to go to Jiangning to apply eye drops to Fang La himself.

The reason why only two or three hundred people were transferred was that Fang La would get red-eyed and chase desperately. If there were not many people, they could all forcefully board the car and run away, and they would definitely not be able to run on the other side.

If there are too many people, once they are restrained, they will probably be surrounded by then, and it will become an act of sending people away from thousands of miles away.

Outside Jiangning City.

South Gate.

Fang La's jihadist army organized another wave of attack, but before reaching the top of the city, they were suppressed by the defenders in the city.

Fang La couldn't remember how many attacks this was.

The offensive wave became more and more fierce, but the defense of Jiangning City was still like a mountain, repelling the attack again and again.

Fang La squeezed Shuangquan tightly, Jiang Ning was much more difficult to attack than he imagined, even Suzhou and Hangzhou were not as difficult to attack as Jiang Ning.

This is the sixth day!
"Continue, attack again, if anyone retreats, immediately cut!"
