There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 442 Killing Zhu Xi ([-])

Without the bombardment of artillery, only the officers and soldiers on Jiangning's side who are not afraid of death poked their heads out to observe. At this time, the Dingyuan escorting sixteen sand ships for transporting troops had gradually approached, and they could already be seen with the naked eye. Dingyuan and the uniforms of the soldiers of the Qilin Army on the sandboat, as well as the military flag of the Qilin Army. The soldier who realized that something was wrong immediately reported the situation to the general, and the general reported it to Cheng Yi. After reading it, Cheng Yi immediately organized soldiers to go Go to the river to stop these people, and at the same time personally report to Zhu Xi with the news.

"What, you said that there are many Qilin army ships on the river in the north?"

Zhu Xi was shocked, how could the Qilin army appear here at this time?

Suddenly he thought something was wrong. Could it be that the report about the Qilin Army was leaked?

Could it be that these Qilin army are going to rebel?

In a panic, he couldn't think of the reason anymore. Thinking of the grievances between himself and the Qilin Army, he immediately asked Cheng Yi to mobilize Jiangning's defenders to go to the north gate, and find out the consciousness of the Qilin Army for me. Come, then kill me!

Cheng Yi took the order and went.

At this time, on the north bank of Jiangning, because the Qilin Army was flying the flag of the Qilin Army and the flag of the Great Song Dynasty, these defenders from Jiangning did not attack the Qilin Army, but after the Qilin Army ships docked, the soldiers just came down from the boat. Immediately block this river bank.

At the same time, a command station came out and asked, "Why is your Kirin Army here?"

His question had no answer.

What was waiting for him was a volley of crossbow arrows from the Qilin army. He never said a word, only two words, attack!
The leader is Chen Zu!
He was the commander of the first registered soldiers.

There were not many defenders who came out of Jiangning City, only a few hundred people. Under the volley of crossbow arrows fired by Chen Zu's first batch of soldiers, these hundreds of people did not succeed in resisting. They all turned into hedgehogs and fell to the ground. Chen Zu Immediately command the soldiers of the Kirin Army to control the entire ferry for other ships to dock safely.

When Cheng Yi urgently dispatched [-] defenders from the city to rush out of the broken north gate, the Qilin Army, the first batch of soldiers who landed, had already landed, and the sandboat also went back to Xuanhua Town for the second troop transport.

Cheng Yi brought the defenders over, and before he could open his mouth, he directly shot the Qilin army's crossbow arrows at him.

Before these officers and soldiers even paid attention to their precautions, they were shot down by the Qilin Army's crossbow arrows and knocked over the group of people in front, causing them to fall on their backs.

This time, the Qilin Army's attitude towards Jiang Ning was also revealed.

Cheng Yi was startled and angry, and immediately shouted: "Could it be that you are going to rebel?"

Those who waited for Cheng Yi were still silent, and there were continuous shooting crossbows. There were 600 soldiers in the first batch of soldiers who went ashore, and if there were 600 soldiers, there would be [-] composite crossbows. The officers and soldiers didn't dare to show their heads at all, and hurried back to the city gate to hide.

But before they could find the bunker, the thunder-like voice sounded out again.

On the Dingyuan, the four 305mm breech-loading guns showed their power again.

The shells hit the city wall, the crowd of officers and soldiers, and the sides.

With the example of the Leopard 1 tank first, and the sound of the artillery was deliberately trained during the training, the soldiers of the Kirin Army are no longer afraid of the artillery shells, nor are they afraid of the explosion. However, looking at Jiangning City, where have these defenders seen cannons?
This cannon caused a huge roar as if God was angry. Although there was no lightning, there was thunder. I was stunned by this cannon.

The result was that the soldiers of the Qilin Army finally harvested their lives.

After capturing the Jiangning ferry, Chen Zu did not lead troops into the city, but quickly blocked the ferry, and temporarily built fortifications at the ferry, where he greeted the Qilin army who would slowly land on the shore.

at the same time.

In Danyang County, Yang Zhi also led [-] Qilin soldiers from Danyang to the south gate of Jiangning, blocking the way for the Jiangning defenders to retreat.

After Huaixi Wang Qing's incredible ability to escape, Li Chu was particularly concerned about these matters.

Zhu Meng must not be left, otherwise the attack on Jiangning this time will be meaningless.

Not only is it meaningless, but at that time, Jiang Ning's incident will make him feel embarrassing!

Yang Zhi's 3000 people are responsible for arresting those who escaped from Jiangning City, and they must ensure that Zhu Xi cannot leave!

Cheng Yi was hit by a crossbow arrow in his arm, and fled back to Jiangning City dragging his wounds. He came to look for Zhu Miao in a panic, and saw Zhu Miao was still eating morning tea at the government office, so he immediately ran over and knelt under Zhu Miao's body, crying : "My lord, it's not good, this Qilin army has rebelled, and it is attacking the north gate at this time, killing many of our defenders."

"The Qilin army rebelled? Impossible!"

He was so flustered that he didn't have time to think about it, and he would mistakenly think that the Qilin Army was rebelling, but after Cheng Yi left, his mind calmed down, and he was sure that there was no possibility of the Qilin Army rebelling again, even if the incident was forced by the officials. Absolutely no rebellion.

If he wants to rebel, why did he go to Tokyo to win this Qilin army?

"My lord, it's true. If you don't believe me, look at my shoulder. This crossbow was shot by the Qilin Army."

Cheng Yi kept crying to Zhu Xi.

"How many people have come from the Qilin Army? Hurry up and send troops to garrison at the North Gate."

Cheng Yi said: "There are only more than 1000 people, but they have quite a few big ships."

"More than 1000 people? Are you scared like this when you have more than 1000 people? It's not like you and I have never seen the Qilin Army, and they are not much better than our officers and soldiers. There are only more than 1000 people. You are afraid of a ball."

"But they have heavy crossbows, they can shoot far away, and we people can't get close to them at all."

"Are you a general or am I a general?" Zhu Qian was a little angry. I helped you up and let you be the Jiangning guard. You, the general, should be responsible for the deployment of the soldiers guarding the city. They all came to ask me why. ?

Cheng Yi left and re-deployed troops.

Zhu Xi felt that this matter was unreliable, so he immediately asked someone to prepare a piece of armor for himself, and planned to climb up to the top of the city to visit the north gate in person.

On the way, I met a panicked angel again.

"Master Zhu, what happened outside the city? Could it be that the bandit soldiers are calling again?"

"There is nothing wrong in the city, but there is something wrong on the river. Angel, please go back to your room and wait for the news."

After sending away the angel, Zhu Meng climbed up the city wall from the east gate to the north gate.

Jiangning Ferry.

Sixteen sand boats have been transported back and forth seven times, and now there are more than 3000 Qilin troops gathered at this ferry port.

Jiangning's north gate, since the first wave of defenders were shot back by the Qilin army's crossbow arrows, they never dared to take the initiative to come over, and they all hid in the wreckage of the north gate.

The 3000 Qilin army immediately separated into two teams of 3000 people, and went around the city wall of Jiangning to the east gate and west gate of Jiangning, and surrounded them outside these two gates.The defenders of these two gates saw the Qilin army with less than [-] people, and Ximen organized a wave of attack. As a result, this man was all lost on the road before he could touch the Qilin army. This frightened Ximen even more. The city gate was tightly closed, for fear that these Qilin troops would rush in.
