Chapter 361: Fighting Xiangyang (I)

In just two days, the soldiers of the bow battalion and the Mexican army were all selected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Because of the special nature of the two arms, the thick armor of normal soldiers is not suitable for them, so Li Chu customized another 60,000 sets of blade scale armor, the weight of the armor is much lighter than the batch customized by Li Chu, but it is only a little less protective strength.

All 30,000 compound bows and crossbows have been distributed.

At the same time, the soldiers of the two arms were also equipped with a Kirin military dagger.

The Embroidered Spring Knife is standard for every soldier of the Kirin Army.

In addition to these two things, Li Chu customized and purchased two other new gadgets.

One is the Chinese multi-functional sapper shovel of later generations, which has the functions of shovel, pickaxe, crowbar (thorn), saw and knife, and Li Chu customized 80,000 pieces.

The second is infrared night vision devices, which are also customized with 80,000.

The main reason is that the custom currency is a bit insufficient, otherwise Li Chu will directly equip all the troops.

80,000, the Mexican army is fully equipped, and the remaining 50,000 are all equipped for the Qilin army, the number of the Qilin army is not much, and now there are only 15,000 people, and the remaining 35,000 sets of equipment are distributed by the Water Margin Army and the Ying Water Army.

And the Water Margin Army and the Ying Water Army also ushered in a new costume change.

Before joining the Qilin Army, they were still wearing ordinary equipment armor from the imperial court, and some soldiers even brought their own linen leather armor, etc., the defense strength was limited, especially the weapons were all kinds of uneven, and even some soldiers still held big sticks, and many soldiers' weapons were either not sharp, or they were all kinds of fractures, which really killed the power of the strength is limited.

Li Chu gave them all the same equipment and weapons as the Qilin Army.

As for the outer robe, after following the opinions of Yang Zhi and Lu Junyi, the color of the outer robe was printed purple, or the unicorn suit, but the color of the unicorn suit became purple.

The Ying Shui Army, on the other hand, is printed in dark purple and tends to be red.

The soldiers of the Water Margin Army and the Ying Water Army have long been envious of the equipment and clothing of the Qilin Army, but they have just joined the Qilin Army not long ago, and so many equipment and weapons can not be produced at one time, so everyone is envious, but I didn't expect it to take long to change them all.

After the two armies changed their uniforms, the whole team immediately became majestic.

The main thing is that the equipment is neat and consistent, and the visual impact is very large.

Finally, there is Li Jun's water army.

Today's navy, Li Chu has handed over all the navy to Li Jun's jurisdiction.

However, considering that the navy is currently newly surrendered and newly recruited, and it remains to be observed and trained in loyalty and other aspects, they are not equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment for the time being, and the original training is still maintained.

It's just this ship.

Now that the custom coins have been spent, this lottery did not draw the boat class, so I have to wait for the next time.

However, the ship has also been put on the itinerary by Li Chu, and it will be the first custom item after having a custom coin next time.

For the remaining custom coins, Li Chu went to customize and purchased a lot of hot air balloons, and also customized and purchased 3,000 sets of parachutes, which were equipped for the water army.

After all, the hot air balloon is in the air, and Li Chu can't guarantee that there will be no accidents, and if there is an accident after having a parachute, every soldier can be saved.

3,000 parachutes, 1,000 for combat use, and 2,000 for training.

After changing to new equipment, the armies still need a certain amount of time to adapt, leaving everyone ten days to adapt, mainly the training of the bow and arrow battalion and the Mexican army, the two are the top priorities.

While the army was training, Li Chu discussed with Shi Tianyi, Zhu Wu, Yang Zhi, Lu Junyi and others how to conquer Wang Qing.

The areas that Wang Qing now occupies are mainly as follows.

Dengzhou, Jiangling, Xiangyang, Junzhou.

In the novel "Water Margin", Wang Qing occupies Chang'an, Tongchuan Mansion, Dengzhou, Jiangling, Xiangyang, Changzhou, Junzhou and De'an, but that time was already the peak of Wang Qing's army.

And now, Wang Qing is attacking, and it has not yet fallen into Wang Qing's hands.

Changzhou was in the eastern part of what was later Chongqing.

De'an is the De'an Army, which is later known as Langzhong in Sichuan.

Tongchuan Mansion is the Jiannan area of later generations.

Changzhou has not yet been laid, and this De'an and Tongchuan Mansion have naturally not fallen into the hands of Wang Qing.

And Chang'an did not fall into Wang Qing's hands.

The plan to destroy Wang Qing was also simple.

Dengzhou, that is, the area where Nanyang was completed, is now in the hands of the Qilin Army and is under the jurisdiction of the Qilin Army.

Wang Qing only had three places left: Junzhou, Xiangyang and Jiangling.

The Qilin Army occupied Junzhou, and also incorporated Wang Qing's army, which is tantamount to breaking one of his arms for Wang Qing, because Junzhou!

From Fangzhou to Junzhou, and then to Xiangyang, the best route is to go down the Danjiang River, or go down to Xiangyang or to Nanyang, and now occupy Nanyang, but also occupy Qiande, Suixian, and Shunyang, basically blocking the route from Junzhou to Xiangyang.

If you don't take the Nanyang side, you will have to climb many mountains, and the road is extremely difficult.

The plan here is also simple, just push it directly.

Together with Li Chu, the cavalry fought Xiangyang, then went south and then took Jiangling.

The infantry army entered Junzhou from Shunyang, and was forcibly pushed all the way by the river support of Li Jun's water army and the air support of the Junshui army, and the Mexican army was still going to the Junzhou battlefield, while half of the archers followed Li Chu's side to Xiangyang.

Both Xiangyang and Jiangling have flat terrain suitable for cavalry combat, while Junzhou, Fangzhou, and Changzhou are different.

Ten days later.

All the armies have been assembled in the county.

As the order was issued, the troops of each side went to different places according to their pre-war tasks.

Shunyang, Li Jun's army was divided into two parts.

A part went south to Xiangyang to cooperate with Li Chu's large army.

A part of it moved west to Xunyang, cooperating with the blockade of various riverbank areas, and cooperating with the infantry to attack Xunyang.

The infantry army is also divided into several large teams.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song led 20,000 infantry troops from Shunyang into Junzhou, and attacked Xunyang with Li Jun's army.

Li Zhong, the tiger general, led 5,000 foot soldiers from Gucheng and entered the Fangxian area.

Li Xuan led the hot-air balloon air force to provide air support.

The rest of the people all followed Li Chu to Dengcheng.

The cavalry led by Lu Junyi first went east along the Han River, crossed the Baihe River at the foot of Hongshan Mountain, and then went around to the east of Xiangyang City.

On the east side, there are also many Wang Qing thieves stationed to defend Xiangyang.

By the time they counterattacked, most of the cavalry had already crossed the Baihe River and began to sweep east of Xiangyang, and wherever they passed, the cavalry swept directly across the way, and Wang Qing's thief army was routed all the way.

The navy has found a large number of ships and has gathered on the north shore of Xiangyang.

The infantry troops boarded the ships and were transported by ships to the shore east of Xiangyang, and the first to be transported was Li He's Mo army. (To be continued.) )
