The troops and horses that Jia Liu put together are quite capable.
There are 500 Sauron special forces, 500 flag-bearer guerrilla training soldiers, and nearly 5,000 green battalions from the four provinces. Except for the lack of cannons, there are as many as 2,000 muskets. All the way there, it can be said to be a crushing attack.
In seven large and small battles, although the enemy was not wiped out, as many as forty people were captured, and there were no casualties on our side.
This record is not much better than Zu Yingyuan's loss of more than 100 lives in exchange for casualties.
It fully illustrates that an excellent commander must have the ability to dispatch more troops and horses to form his own absolute military superiority.
That is to say, if you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you get the wrong way, you will get less help.
Without this ability, no matter how good he is in fighting, he can only be called a general, not a handsome man.
Because defeating more with less is fundamentally wrong.
War is fought with the majority bullying the minority.
In this regard, Jia Liu, who had no professional training in military and war studies, could be regarded as a self-taught person, or it may be a talent brought from his mother's womb.
People who have done great things since ancient times have always had something special about them.
However, at Yixi Blocka, an important stronghold leading to Daping, Master Jia's team was finally blocked by a heavy force from the Agui Group.
The war is about to break out.
In order to boost morale, Jia Liu dismounted from his horse and led his soldiers to a higher place. He habitually used a telescope to observe the group of bunkers on the opposite side, and finally concluded that the enemy army numbered about 200.
Judging from the flag, it is the Yuanmingyuan Guard Camp belonging to the Forbidden Army.
This camp was founded in the second year of Yongzheng's reign, with 3,000 guards and 96 soldiers.
Because the war in Jinchuan was tense, when Agui asked for reinforcements the previous time, Qianlong specially allocated 500 Yuanmingyuan guards to accompany the forward battalion to rush to Jinchuan.
One of them was stationed at Yixi Bunker, which has four bunkers. The general leading the team was Mardeni, who was from the third-grade guard army.
Strictly speaking, the guards of the Old Summer Palace actually guard the gate.
The second-class students in the Baitang'a examination will have their allocation indicators sent here.
Zu Yingyuan, together with Wang Fu, Madri, Xindasu, Guo Xiu and other confidants of Lord Jia, were planning how to capture this cluster of bunkers at the foot of the hillside.
Jiangsu Green Camp Counselor Guo Guangde, Zhejiang Green Camp Counselor Qian Dade, Jiangsu Nanchang Green Camp Counselor Ma Youde, and Fujian Green Camp Counselor Wang Tiande, the four senior counselors with the word "virtue" listened attentively and expressed their opinions and supplements from time to time without taking the flag at all.
The scenery of young generals.
This is called being able to be a human being and being an official.
When Jia Liu came down from the mountain, Zu Yingyuan had already come up with a detailed attack plan.
According to his plan, the Jiangsu Green Battalion soldiers would first attack Yixi Bunker from the front, and then he would lead the Zhejiang Green Battalion and some Sauron soldiers to climb up the slope to the north of the bunker and go around to the rear of the bunker to launch an attack.
With such a pincer attack from both front and back, the guards in the bunker will inevitably collapse.
"Sir, I'm coming too, I'll definitely take it down for you!"
Yang Yuchun was also eager to try.
Jia Liu said "Oh" and looked at the four German senior generals. They all nodded in unison, obviously very much approving of this attack plan.
"Um, do you know where the lack of outstanding achievements of those who are good at fighting comes from, and what does it mean?"
Jia Liu threw the telescope to Yang Yuchun and looked around at his subordinates.
The Four Great Virtues and Senior Generals were all stumped by this question, because they really didn’t know.
They don't know, but someone does.
"This sentence comes from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. The original text is "The victory is won by those who are good at fighting. They have no reputation for wisdom and no bravery, so they are not victorious."
Zu Yingyuan was not without showing off, "What do you mean, those who are good at fighting often make themselves invincible through planning before the battle. The lack of outstanding achievements does not mean that there are no famous military exploits, but that these people never fight.
An unprepared battle.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guiziliu snorted disdainfully: "Shit! This sentence means that if you can't fight, don't fight, and if you can talk, let's talk."
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Fu and said, "Ah Fu, go talk to them."
"嗻!"
Wang Fu clasped his fists in response and added, "Sir, is the price still the same as before?"
Jia Liu nodded, no need to ask.
After Wang Fu left, Zu Ying was exhausted and asked Guiziliu in a low voice: "Are you going to just buy it all the way?"
"Yup."
Jia Liu nodded naturally. It turns out that not many people are as stubborn as Yamantar.
Not only did it cost more than 200 taels to come all the way, but it cost only 5 taels per person to pass without any obstruction, which was very cost-effective.
"You can't buy the country and the country with money!"
Zu Yingyuan was so angry that his teeth itched, and he hated the fact that iron could not become steel.
"I know,"
Jia Liu looked serious, "But how do you know you can't buy it if you don't buy it? Always seek truth from facts in everything. How do you know you can't buy it if you don't buy it?"
After speaking, he spoke earnestly and patted Zu Yingyuan on the shoulder: "What we can't get on the battlefield, of course we have to spend money on at the negotiation table. As long as the goal is achieved, why care about face."
"Unreasonable!"
Zu Yingyuan left angrily.
Yang Yuchun tugged at the corner of Yang Zhi's clothes and said with some pertinence: "Brother Zhuzhu, what you said makes sense."
"I think so,"
Shuan Zhu frowned when he said this, because he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
Wang Fu came back, but there was no talk of success.
The reason is that the other party said that they are the guards of Shangsanqi. How about sending ghosts with one person and five taels?
"What's wrong with Shangsanqi? I'm still the consort!"
Jia Liu was furious and asked Wang Fu how much he wanted.
Wang Fudao said: "They say it depends on the level. Ordinary flag officers start at 10 taels each, officials start at 50 taels, and the highest guard leader costs 500 taels per person. The total adds up to 7,000 taels."
Jia Liu was furious: "You didn't tell them who I am and what I'm here for?"
"I told you, it's useless."
"Sir, don't talk about it then, I'll take someone with me!"
Yang Yuchun struck with the iron rod and asked for a fight.
"Forget it, time is money."
Jia Liu waved his hand and agreed to the other party's unreasonable demands because he couldn't stay here for too long.
All the soldiers and horses mobilized by the old rich went up. Agui, who lacked justice, could not hold out for long, so if his brother-in-law arrived late, he might not have a place in the post-war spoils sharing conference.
The collapse of the Eight Banners interest group headed by Agui can provide huge benefits to other Eight Banners interest groups.
Especially the official shortage.
As soon as the banknotes were in place, the guards guarding Yixi Diao Ka descended from the mountain en masse under the leadership of the officers and handed over this important place to the people brought by Jia Jia'e's son-in-law.
When Da Ma passed in front of Mardeni, the military commander who extorted 7,000 taels from him, Jia Liu really had the urge to ask for the money.
But considering that the reputation of his consort Jia Jia was the most valuable thing in the world, he could only swallow his dissatisfaction.
Mardeni did not join Jia Jia's concubine's team to attack the traitor Agui, which was somewhat a reflection of his own conscience.
It was also a matter of assessing the situation and knowing that the situation was over for A Gui. If he followed him, he might really become a traitor to the Qing Dynasty.
After passing the Yixi blockade, the last level in front of Jia Liu is the Wudaogou level. After passing this level, you can go straight to Daping.
According to the guard commander just now, there are more soldiers and horses stationed at Wudaogou Pass than here, about 600 people.
Two hundred of them were from the Firearms Battalion, and the rest were soldiers from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion.
This gave Jia Liu a headache. If the people in Wudaogou were as evil-minded as Mardeni, they might lose twenty thousand taels.
Without even seeing one of Agui's hair, he threw out two to thirty thousand taels of silver. Is Jia Jia's consort here to quell the chaos, or is he here to be a money-spreading boy?
What's worse is, what if all the soldiers of the Eight Banners know that Jia Jia's concubine is a fool and has a lot of money?
However, what Jia Liu never expected was that after the Wudaogou garrison learned that Jia Jia's concubine was leading the team, Guarjiazhan Yinbao, the general of the Zhengsanpin Firearms Battalion stationed here, took the initiative to bring people to pay homage.
.
As soon as he saw his father-in-law, Zhan Yinbao saluted with a "baba" sound, and said with great respect, "My slave Zhan Yinbao is paying my respects to my master!"
