There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 427 A Flame in the Dark Night

Jiangning is the Nanjing of later generations.

This is where the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties were located. Historically, Wu, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen all had their capitals here.

Although Yang Wu and the Southern Tang Dynasty all made their capitals here, it was the ancient capital of the ten dynasties.

At this time, Jiangning is the state capital of Jiangning Prefecture, and it is also the capital of Jiangnan East Road.

As far as Huashigang is concerned, this place is already regarded as a secondary place, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are the main places.Because the Grand Canal that transported Huashigang was diverted in Danyang, it entered the Yangtze River from Changzhou, Danyang, and Dantu, and then went directly north to Jiangdu, Jiangdu, which is Yangzhou.Then enter the Huaihe River from Chuzhou, and then go all the way from the Grand Canal to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, and finally arrive at Bianjing City in Tokyo.

The Nanjing here refers to Yingtianfu, which is where the Shangqiu of the future market is located, not the Nanjing of later generations.

There were four capitals in the Song Dynasty, namely Bianjing City in Tokyo, Yingtianfu in Nanjing, Luoyang in Xijing, and Damingfu in Beijing.

Although Jiangning is not important to Huashigang, it is an annexed place.

There are a large number of imperial troops stationed in Jiangning, and there are 30 registered soldiers in the surrounding area alone. This is also the first place where Zhu Xie thought of escaping after escaping from Suzhou. Put down this turmoil in Fangla.

However, the long years of peace and the corruption concealed by the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, the 30 banned soldiers on the list, can only be named in the end...

Jiangning City is almost overwhelmed.

Not only can't keep it, but it is forced to hold on from the beginning.

To the outside world, Zhu Xi claimed that Jiangning had 40 troops, 40. This number scared a lot of people. It is not clear whether Fang La was scared, but the officials on the Jiangnan side were all frightened. With so many battle-worthy soldiers, it was a joy to escape to Jiangning.

But actually?
There are only a few who really understand, long-term empty pay, long-term false reporting of soldiers, and even soldiers leaving the military to do other things. The thing is to continue to block the news of Jiangnan, and at the same time order people to find out all the soldiers who can fight in Jiangning.

Although Zhu Xi is not a general, but when life and death are at stake, he is more serious and persistent than anyone else.

30 are on the register, but the actual number of hits is only 7!

7 people, Zhu Xi smashed a lot of things on the spot, and in the end it was too bad, so the common people made up the number, regardless of their combat effectiveness, they were captured and sent to the army, and finally declared 40 people.

However, it can be seen from Fang La's plan to storm Jiang Ning that Fang La was not frightened by Zhu Xi's 40 defenders, but instead stormed all the way.

The only thing Zhu Xi was lucky about was the defense equipment. For some reason, these defense equipment were not sold by people, so that when Fang La attacked Jiangning, they could still use the defense equipment for a while.

This stage lasted for six days, and thanks to the moat outside Jiangning City, the water was too deep to hinder Fang La's offensive.

Over the past few days, the [-] battle-ready army has suffered heavy casualties, with [-] killed. In Jiangning today, there are only [-] battle-ready troops left, and [-] people who were forcibly conscripted. The equipment has also been used up, and even the golden juice has been taken out and splashed under Jiangning city.

outside the city.

Fang La personally ordered someone to behead a few fleeing bandit soldiers. In the past few days, there were endless onslaughts, and the casualties here were also very heavy.

Although I bought [-] sets of equipment and armor from Li Chu, these equipment are only a little bit better than the standard armor of the Song Dynasty, far from the perverted level of the Qilin Army. That's right, they are all weapons that can be resisted by non-physical defenses such as wood and gold juice, and armor is of no help.

The 30 Jihad Army, after nearly a month of long-distance raids and dozens of battles, large and small, is now less than [-], and many of the [-] were added later. In Jiangning, in addition to the Jihad Army, Fang La also dispatched [-] ordinary people who turned into soldiers as the vanguard to attack Jiangning.

Outside the city of Jiangning, it was like a hell. I don't know how many people and soldiers died here, including Fang La's bandits and Jiangning's defenders.

After beheading several people in a row, Fang La's anxiety not only did not ease, but became more irritable, and An Nai became uneasy.

An hour ago, he had already received a message from Danyang.

The Qilin Army suddenly appeared in Runzhou and captured Danyang City.

Qilin Army, Danyang!

Fang La gritted her teeth and tried her best to calm herself down, but the harder she tried, the more she couldn't calm down. Why did this damn Qilin army appear here!

It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but the possibility is too low.

They are all rebels against the Song family. The Qilin Army will not come to Jiangnan. If he comes to Jiangnan, what will happen to the South Beijing Road?
But he never expected that the unicorn army would appear here and take down Danyang, his rear food and grass base.

In this way, this is tantamount to tearing the skin off.

Moreover, Danyang was destroyed, and the army's food and grass were gone.

In this siege, in order to prevent the Song army from finding an opportunity to sneak attack, Fang La only brought food and grass for two days, and then asked Danyang to re-deliver it every time. He would not be in trouble, but what he never expected was that the Qilin army would directly capture Danyang.

Danyang, there are [-] bandits stationed here.

"Attack, let me attack again. If we can't take Jiang Ning today, I want your heads!"

Affected by his anxiety, Fang La's face became a little ferocious when he roared.

To the east of Fangla Camp.

Along the way, the small groups of thieves encountered on the road were eliminated one by one, and the sky became darker and darker, leaving only a little residual sunset glow.

Li Chu saw Fang La's camp.

He asked people to light a fire on the spot, and then raised the flag of the Qilin Army high. Under the light of the fire, you could see this place from a distance, and you could naturally see the flag of the Qilin Army.

"Shenggong, look to the east."

The people in Fangla's barracks immediately noticed the situation in the east, and now that the sky is gloomy, it's hard not to let people not notice the sudden fire.

"Kirin Army, Li Chu!"

Looking at the familiar and no longer familiar flag in the east, Fang La's eyes widened with anger, and he punched the case, shaking the wine glass on the case high.

"How many people are here?" Fang La asked.

"I don't know for now."

"Then go investigate!" Fang La roared out.

The messenger immediately rolled down in fear. Before they could take the detective horse out, another light shone in the darkness.

This ray of light is very eye-catching and gorgeous.

The speed is very fast, like a meteor...
