On the side of the thief army, there is no statistics on the deaths. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The prisoners were 12,000 captives.

And at least 5,000 of those who fled.

Then the thieves were killed or wounded at least about 10,000.

"Let's take these prisoners outside the eastern city first, set up a prisoner camp next to the Grand Canal, and put them there for the time being. In the past few days, I have only been given one meal a day, and then I will wait for my news and then change the meal. ”

Li Chu listened to Shi Tianyi's plan and planned to recruit these captives, but it still needed a little means to recruit them.

Now there are a lot of people running here, it is estimated that some people will flee to Jiangning, and Fang La is also quick to learn the news, so in order to prevent this group of people from making trouble in the back at that time, they can only give them one meal a day these days, just hang them, otherwise they will not be so honest when they have the strength.

This is also the reason for placing them in the east, there is the Grand Canal in the east, and Fang Lalai also came from the west, and this group of people cannot reach it.

To the north of Danyang, there is also a Dantu.

In order to prevent the thieves on the Dantu side from joining Fang La's people at that time, and waiting for Danyang to stabilize, Li Chu took two thousand Qilin troops to the north to attack Dantu.

On the Danyang side, the 3,000 people who left Yang Zhi and Wang Delin were stationed here.

The Leopard 1 tank accompanied Li Chu and the two thousand Qilin troops to march towards the Dantu.

Dantu is a city near the river.

The ferries at the mouth of the river were all burned by the thieves, and at the ferry, in order to prevent the imperial army from crossing the river and forcibly landing on the shore, the thieves even destroyed the ferries on this side, not only destroying, but also increasing the ferry, resulting in the inability to land here.

Blocking the landing channel here, the role of Dantu County is not so significant, plus there is Danyang in the south, so there are less than 5,000 thieves in Dantu.

5,000 thieves.

Under artillery fire, how long can 5,000 thieves resist?

I don't know where this Dantu got the news that the Qilin Army is attacking Danyang, this guard general doesn't know what to think and actually brought two thousand soldiers to Danyang to support him, and happened to encounter the Qilin Army on the way, and was directly beheaded by Ding Wuce immediately Qianyi slashed the main general, and the rest of the people were shot back by crossbow arrows after charging a wave, and they fled back immediately in fright, and they chose to surrender after being chased by the Qilin Army.

So Li Chu sent this group of surrendered thieves as the vanguard to say that the Dan disciples were surrendered.

There are two main generals of the Dantu, one led the troops to support Danyang and was killed, and the other stayed behind, and the people who stayed behind saw that the Qilin Army was still with soldiers and wanted to fight with Li Chu, but before they left the city, they were tied up by several thieves beside him, and then pressed the thief to take the initiative to send it to Li Chu.

This scene surprised Li Chu.

After Dantu County was occupied by thieves, they had no choice but to join Fang La's thief army, and now when they saw the imperial army coming to recover, they naturally tied up this thief.

Not only them, but half of the 5,000 thieves of this Dan disciple were forcibly recruited by the local people.

Li Chu ordered that this person be temporarily appointed as the county commander of Dantu County, and ordered him to rectify Dantu County, capture and detain the soldiers who were originally thieves in Dantu County, and hand them over to Li Chu to bring back to Danyang together, while Dantu will continue to defend by the remaining people, and wait for Runzhou to be completely pacified.

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

It is estimated that 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, and if it is good, it will leave Li Chu three days.

Three days is enough for a lot of things.

Fang La's thieves did not have cavalry, and the trenches were mainly used for defense.

The weapon of the Kirin Army is a compound crossbow, although the range is very long, but once the opponent rushes up, how much time can be left for you to reload the crossbow arrows?

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

Secondly, after retreating from the trench, it would take time for Fang La's thieves to cross the trench, which would give the soldiers on the walls and the soldiers below the city enough time to reload and shoot crossbow arrows.

Originally, I wanted to dig a small river from the side of the Grand Canal to surround Danyang and form a moat, but there was not much time left here, and the project to dig the moat was too big, and the soldiers of the Qilin Army alone would definitely not be in time, and those captives Li Chu was not worried about giving them shovels, otherwise once they took the weapons, digging the river is estimated to be second, and I am afraid that when the time comes, they may smash the shovel at the soldiers of the Qilin Army.

In addition to digging trenches, there is one more thing that needs to be done.

Li Chu ordered hundreds of soldiers and set off with ten Dongfeng warriors, these soldiers could get into the car, but if they couldn't, they climbed on the car and sat on the roof of the car.

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

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

Now, the only thing that worries Li Chu is that he is afraid that Fang Lagou will jump off the wall in a hurry.

After Wan Fangla knew that Danyang was broken and the stock of the army was captured by the Qilin army, he did not retreat, but followed this mourning army to directly attack Jiangning and fight to the death.

Regardless of whether he can defeat Jiangning or not, once Fang La attacks so fiercely, Jiangning's side will definitely forcibly let Li Jun's 20,000 sailors go ashore to fight, and it will be a loss at that time.

The current naval army has not yet been equipped with the soft iron armor of the Qilin Army, and the weapon is only embroidered spring knife, whether it is defensive power or weapons, it is not much stronger than ordinary officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are naval forces, good at water warfare, once they fight to the death like this on the shore, the casualties must be very heavy.

In order to prevent Fang La's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Li Chu still decided to rush to Jiangning in person to give Fang La eye medicine.

The reason why only two or three hundred were transferred was because he was afraid that Fang La's eyes would be red at that time, and he would chase desperately, and there were not many people who could forcibly board the car and run away, and the opposite side would definitely not be able to run.

If you bring too many people, once you are restrained, I am afraid that you will be surrounded by the time and it will become a move to send people to their heads.

Outside the city of Jiangning.

South Gate.

Fang La's holy army organized another wave of attacks, but before they could reach the top of the city, they were pressed down by the defenders in the city.

Fang La couldn't remember how many times this was the first attack.

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

Fang La clenched Shuangquan tightly, the degree of Jiangning's difficulty was much more difficult than he imagined, even Suzhou and Hangzhou were not as difficult as Jiangning's attack.

It's the sixth day!

"Go on, attack again, and if there is anyone who retreats, cut it immediately!" (To be continued.) )
