There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 435 Controlling the Five Counties
At dawn the next day, the statistics of the number of captives came out. Including those bandit captives in Danyang, there were 13 captives!

13 prisoners!
This number shocked a lot of people.

7000 people, defeated 20 people, and captured 13 people. This record can be recorded in history!

Wang Delin felt like he was going crazy when he heard this number. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been such a brilliant achievement, right?

This is crazy.

This number is too huge.

But there is also a lot of coincidence here.

First of all, the Qilin army's weapons and equipment are too sophisticated, which has an overwhelming advantage in the battle between the two armies.

The second is the number of thieves. Although there are more than 20, the quality of the soldiers is too poor. If you divide them, these people can't be counted as soldiers at all, but can only be counted as displaced people.

If it is really half a soldier, then there is only the Jihad Army trained by Li Xuan for a month, and there are weapons and armors.

There were originally [-] people in this group, but part of the troops were sent out during the fight, and a lot of people died in the battle, and now there are only [-] people left here.

That is to say, in fact, the Kirin Army was facing 5 people, and in the real sense, it was these 5 people who were captured, and the others were just used to make up the number.

Of course, this is something everyone knows in their hearts, but if this matter is reported to the court, the meaning will be different.The imperial court doesn't care whether you are a thief or a commoner, but if you participated in the Fangla uprising, then you are a thief soldier, so the 13 Fangla captured this time is calculated according to the thief soldier.

Last night, something unexpected happened.

Some prisoners of the Jihad army regretted it and wanted to find a chance to escape. They encouraged hundreds of people to riot together. Fortunately, the guards here were strict and the riot was suppressed in time. .At the same time, Li Chu also gave them a new order to let them wait for the result with peace of mind and not kill them for no reason.

After hearing that the Qilin army would not execute themselves for no reason, these prisoners were considered safe and secure.

The number of bandits brought by Fang La was at least 20. Excluding those who were captured and those who died on the battlefield, tens of thousands more fled.

Instead of fleeing to the south gate to wait for the Qilin army's captives, they chose to escape, fled into the forest, and ran south to other places.

Faced with this situation, Li Chu has no solution for the time being. The current lack of troops can only allow them to escape like this, but this will make the area even more turbulent. These fleeing bandits have nothing to eat and wear. They will definitely rob other places or gather crowds to become bandits.

Things in the future can only be done later.

Wait until the main force arrives.

Near noon, we received good news.

There is news about the letter Wang Delin sent to the Huainan East Road transfer envoy yesterday. They have agreed to send troops, but it will take some time to mobilize the troops. They sent someone here to deliver the letter first, and let Wang Delin wait for the time being. Wait here with peace of mind.

Wang Delin found Li Chu and told him the good news.

wait?

This battle is over, what else do you need to do?

Now even Fang La is dead.

"If they come, let them come. It's best to let them find some civil servants and officials to maintain the operation of Jiangnan."

After Wang Delin left, Li Chu immediately called the messenger, and after giving some instructions, the messenger went out immediately to make arrangements.

After a while, a Dongfeng Warrior went out from the south gate of Danyang City and headed towards the Golden Altar.

After the warrior off-road vehicle arrived at Jintan, the temporary magistrate of Jintan immediately greeted him.

The car did not enter. The soldier responsible for delivering the news just told the magistrate what Li Chu had ordered and immediately rushed to Changzhou.

After Changzhou and Jiangyin counties were notified one by one, the two Dongfeng warriors returned to Danyang.

The county magistrates who received Li Chu's secret letter immediately formed temporary security militia teams in the three counties according to Li Chu's request, responsible for city patrol and security.

There is also news from Jiang Ning.

Since the siege of the south of the Yangtze River has been lifted, Zhu Xi has no reason to continue to detain the Qilin army and the water army. In addition, the situation of the Danyang battle was also sent to Jiangning by Li Chu. Hearing that Fang La was defeated, 13 After Wan Zebing was captured, Zhu Qian was even more shocked.

This result made the entire upper group in Jiangning unbelievable.

One moment, the rebel soldiers who had beaten Jiangning to the point where they could hardly defend themselves were annihilated by the Qilin Army and captured in Danyang the next moment.

So, how many people are here in the Qilin army?

Li Chu didn't say how many people came.

At the same time, Li Chu did not say the reason for the successful capture of these bandits, and the news of Fang La's killing was even more blocked. He only said that Fang La was repelled, and Fang La fled with his people.

Although there are also detective horses in Jiangning City, there are too many thieves in Fang La this time. In addition, all the elite detective horses in Jiangning City have been killed and injured during Fangla's six-day siege of Jiangning. The current detective horses are all temporarily formed. This professional level is extremely limited, and the battlefield is too huge, so Tan Ma doesn't dare to get too close, so the news he gets is not very important. He just knows that Fang La seems to have been defeated in Danyang City.

As for how to lose?have no idea.

Li Chu also contacted Li Jun via the satellite phone, and asked Li Jun to keep an eye on any changes in Jiang Ning's news.

In the afternoon, [-] sailors from the Kirin Army released by Zhu Mian arrived in Dantu County.

Today's Dantu County's wharf has been built up, making it impossible for ships to dock.

Li Chu and Li Jun met in Dantu County, and after chatting for a while, Li Jun's navy continued to move forward, along the Yangtze River and continued eastward, heading directly to the naval base in Haimen County. From time to time, Li Chu will join them there.

After returning to Danyang, Li Chu called Wang Delin and asked him to accompany him for a walk.

On the city wall of Danyang, the two were walking here. Li Chu asked Wang Delin a question:
"My lord, can I trust you at the beginning?"

"What do you mean by the general?"

Li Chudao: "The five counties of Jiangyin, Changzhou, Jintan, Danyang, and Dantu have returned. These five counties are still surrounded by bandits and bandits. For the time being, officers and soldiers are still needed to garrison them. However, the advance troops of our Qilin army are only 4000 people. If you keep the five places separately, you will be powerless."

Wang Delin: "?"

"I would like to hand over the garrison of Changzhou and Jiangyin counties to Mr. Zhizhi. I wonder if Sir Zhizhi would like it?"
