Dengcheng, on the other side of Xiangyang City, that is, Fancheng in later generations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Deng Cheng was not close to the river bank, Li Chu and Lu Junyi's army converged and directly took Deng Cheng, which was only defended by 1,000 people, and Li Jun's army also blocked the Han River, so that Deng Cheng could only sigh to the river, and no news could be transmitted to Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang has been an important military town since ancient times.

Especially during the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiangyang blocked the Mongol army for more than ten years, forcing the main Mongol force to go around to attack the Sichuan Basin and attack the Southern Song Dynasty in a roundabout way.

Even the Tiger Prison that is a husband and a man who can't open it has no such merits.

Although Li Chu did not study the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, he still knows a little about Xiangyang's resistance to Mongolia for more than ten years, after all, there are so many martial arts novels in later generations, especially the Condor Archery and the Condor Heroes, and there are not a few TV series that have been remade.

If Li Chu hadn't been to Xiangyang before, he might really think that just like in the TV series, he relied on the soldiers defending the city to resist.

When he arrived near Xiangyang, Li Chu only had one sentence.

Fuck you director, fuck your beard.

Even the so-called Master Jin Yong, Li Chu couldn't help but want to scold him for being a bloody dog.

Xiangyang has been able to resist Mongolia for so many years, not only by relying on the so-called elite generals, but by relying on the intricate natural geographical advantages of Xiangyang.

Hit the front, it is a spacious Han water east and west horizontal fence, Han water in Xiangyang turned south, it doesn't matter, there is also a white river, the white river took over the work of Han Shui, the east side is also a horizontal fence.

Not only the White River, but also the Tang River, a tributary of the White River, took over the work of the White River and stopped it further east.

In addition, the east and west of Xiangyang are both high mountain areas, and the Mongolians are all iron horses, and they are not proficient in water, and there is no way to detour in this place, if you go around, you will have to go farther away, but if you go around there, you will only go to Nanjing, Huguang? Forget it, there's only one way.

The only thing that can be reluctantly is to follow Zaoyang and follow the state, but if you go to these two people's places and wait for the alpine area, it will be Xiaogan and Panyang Lake, and the water system over there is even more complicated, and the Mongolian iron horse can't be used at all.

The best way is to take Xiangyang, from Xiangyang to the south to Jingzhou Changde, and then south to Hunan, from Hunan to the interior of Jiangxi, and at the same time from the northeast of Jiangxi to attack, take Yingtan, Huizhou to attack Hangzhou, this route is relatively flat and suitable for cavalry combat, the second is to encounter fewer rivers, and the third is to go straight to the interior of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiangyang is a point that the Mongols must take, and if they do not take Xiangyang, they will be attacked and harassed by the defenders of Xiangyang even if they go around to Zaoyang.

The Mongols did not have a water army, nor did they have water and water warfare, and those who surrendered to Mongolia were all northern soldiers, and they also did not have water and water warfare, so there was no way to face the natural river geography of Xiangyang.

This is the key to Xiangyang's ability to withstand so many years.

But in Mr. Jin's novel, the outside of Xiangyang City is flat......

At that time, there was no aerial photograph of Xiangyang, and perhaps Mr. Jin had never been to Xiangyang, and it was understandable that he didn't know the water conservancy points in Xiangyang. But are the directors of TV series in later generations brain-dead?

It was just a flat spread outside the city, and the bearded director actually put out a catapult to throw flints into Xiangyang City.

Brain-dead.

Can you cross the river first, or a word or two.

Not to mention the width of the river, even the narrowest area of Xiangyang City is 500 meters wide, and the widest place in the west is almost 2,000 meters, although some swamps are also counted in these 2,000 meters, but even if it is 500 meters wide, can the catapult throw 500 meters away?

If the catapult could throw 500 meters, Mongolia would have conquered the whole world long ago.

Not only that, if you can throw 500 meters, then Xiangyang would have been beaten down a long time ago, and you don't need to send troops to send horses, just use catapults to throw stones at Xiangyang.

If it weren't for the Shunyang naval army that was incorporated when Shunyang was defeated, Li Chu would not have dared to attack Xiangyang directly and rashly, and when the time came, Wang Qing directly sent sailors to block the river, and Li Chu would not be able to cross the river at all with such a wide river, and could only return on the other side of the river in the end.

But now, Wang Qing's sailors are all his.

As Zhu Wu said, Xiangyang is now in his pocket, and it is easy for Li Chu to take Xiangyang.

Not just the sailors, but other weapons.

Li Chu sat back in the captain's cabin and asked Li Qun to park the tank.

Catapults can't throw 500 meters away.

But Li Chu's Leopard 1 tank can.

The Leopard 1 tank has a range of more than 2,000 meters, which is not a problem with the small width of the Han River.

He climbed to the gunner's room and aimed the muzzle of the tank at the northern wall of Xiangyang City.

When the gunner's cabin controlled the muzzle, there were high-resolution high-resolution high-level goggles, and Li Chu could clearly see the movement on the city wall of Xiangyang.

At this time, Wang Qing was stupidly looking at these sailors interspersed on the river, and almost every one of these boats interspersed on the river was recognized by Wang Qing, because these boats were built at his own expense.

Now, seeing that these ships are flying the Qilin flag, Wang Qing's heart hurts so much.

These are his former belongings.

It was only a few days before he changed his surname to Li.

"What's going on, how did the Qilin Army appear here." Wang Qing asked He Ji, the general of Xiangyang beside him.

He Ji was originally an ordinary cell in Chang'an, Xijing, because he escorted Wang Qing so he knew Wang Qing, and later let Wang Qing come to Junzhou with Wang Qing, after Wang Qing rebelled, He Ji became the general of Xiangyang, the chief official of Xiangyang affairs.

"My subordinates don't know about this."

He Ji also wondered, he drank some wine last night, and this early in the morning, he was pulled up by his subordinates and said that there was an accident on the river, so he hurriedly dared to come and take a look, and the result was that a group of troops he had never seen blocked the river in Xiangyang.

"The Qilin Army has hit this Han River, you tell me I don't know?" Wang Qing glared at He Ji angrily, his heart was shocked and panicked, this front foot had just left Wancheng, and the Qilin Army had appeared here in just a few days.

He Ji also panicked, looked at Wang Qing's angry face, and hurriedly walked down the city to ask someone to inquire about the matter.

It didn't take long for He Ji to come running, and he said: "King, I found out, it's the Qilin Army, they broke the county and rushed here directly." ”

"That's all?" Wang Qing's face was a little cold.

"The rest of the subordinates don't know much about it." He Ji shrank his head, his mind was a mess now, and he didn't understand how so many enemies appeared in front of his door.

"Then tell me, what's going on with these ships on the river?"

Wang Qing suppressed the anger in his heart. (To be continued.) )
