Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight is playing the eight flags
"The location of the rebels is the south slope. There is a road in front of the south slope. Follow this road directly to Tailing. This is Dongzhengyu where we are. The emperor's carriage is here. This is Zhaojiazhuang... Majiahezi.
..Our army has built at least four encirclements with the southern slope as the core of defense..."
In the Longen Hall of Taitung Mausoleum, the sand table has been made.
Jia Liu, the commander-in-chief of quelling the rebellion, was analyzing the battle plan for a group of officials.
In addition to Kuni, the Minister of Rites, who came earlier, there are also Asiha, the Minister of Personnel, and Yang Jingsu, the Chief Envoy of Zhili.
Like Queenie, Asiha and Lao Yang were too worried to sleep, and felt that Lord Jia Jia was the safest place.
In order to reassure the three of them, Jia Liu gave full play to his business expertise and gave the three of them a live broadcast.
On the one hand, it is to let Queenie have a clearer understanding of Jia Jia Shikai’s outstanding battle command ability; on the other hand, it is to let these three people strengthen their confidence in winning, so as to follow Jia Jia to become bigger and stronger and bravely reach new heights.
peak.
"In Xiliu Mountain, there are three regiments of the Lu Army."
"In Banjie Ridge, there are three regiments of the Suiyuan Eight Banners."
"In Laogou, there are three regiments of the Henan Army and an artillery reinforcement regiment."
"A total of three regiments of Tianjin and Hedao Army deployed along the Juma River in the north."
"Cangzhou, Dezhou, Qingzhou and other places are fully equipped with about one regiment of troops to defend Gaocun Town."
"A battalion of Mongolian soldiers is here..."
"..."
In order to let the three people know more accurately the superiority of our army's military strength, Jia Liu used the organizational title "Regiment" for the first time.
There are about a thousand soldiers in a regiment, simple and easy.
Queenie did a mental calculation: "So, our army has more than a dozen regiments?"
"Yes."
Jia Liu put down his baton, casually pulled out the carrot man representing the Cangzhou Man soldiers and took a bite.
Crisp and a little spicy.
"The rebels have a maximum of four regiments when they are fully engaged. The enemy's strength is four to one. In addition, the rebels came to Jehol with limited food and herbs. Although there is a cavalry regiment, the terrain around Tailing is not conducive to cavalry movement. We are surrounded by
Under siege, it will be difficult to fly..."
"My brother-in-law is brilliant!"
Lao Yang, the governor of Zhili, had read military books and had seen his father-in-law fight, and he had no doubts about his commander-in-law's deployment.
As a civil servant, Queenie was definitely not good at fighting, but at this time, she also understood that I had the advantage and looked relatively relaxed.
Asiha was murmuring in her heart, because it seemed that the rebels were all recruited by the Japs, and Zhalantai, the commander-in-chief of Rehe, was not only the son of the famous general Zhaohui, but also the emperor's son-in-law. Why did he suddenly rebel?
The more he murmured, the more panicked he became. He felt like he had been tricked and found it hard to get off the pirate ship.
Jia Liu is arranging the upcoming arrest operation.
The target is the conspiracy group headed by Ying Lian, Cai Xin and others, as well as the so-called heroes.
Demu and Shi Ertai were jointly responsible for the arrest task.
In addition to the battalion of escorts that he brought to Tailing, those who participated in the capture operation were the first battalion of the Central Guards Corps adapted from the original Heilongjiang Solon Camp.
"Don't alert the emperor."
Jia Liu specifically ordered the arrest to be done quietly and not to scare the emperor.
Demu asked: "Sir, how do we know who is good and who is bad?"
This is a problem. It is known that Yinglian and Cai Xin are definitely bad people, but I really don't know which of the other ministers is good and which is bad.
Jia Liu thought for a while and asked Demu and Shi Ertai to arrest all the ministers accompanying him and organize manpower for interrogation tomorrow.
In short, we will never let go of a minister who is loyal to the Fourth Japs.
After finishing the explanation, he turned around and found Asiha looking strange. He couldn't help but ask: "What is Lao Ai thinking?"
"Ah? No, no,"
Asiha reacted almost instinctively and looked at Jia Liu with a flattering expression: "I think that under the wise command of my brother-in-law, any rebels who try to subvert the Qing Dynasty are like ants, praying mantises blocking the car, overestimating their own capabilities!"
...
South slope, the headquarters of the Eight Banners in Rehe.
He Shen had been leading people to look at the direction of Tailing from a high place, waiting for the signal to take action.
Zalantai had mobilized his subordinates before the war, which was about being loyal to the emperor and protecting the emperor. Then he offered a series of promotions to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers in Jehol.
He Shen, who had been waiting at a high place for more than an hour, rubbed his hands together from time to time to breathe. It was so cold that the nearby river froze.
The use of fireworks as a signal was previously determined by Brother Dongge and him. Firstly, the fireworks were obvious in the middle of the night. Secondly, the fireworks were used to indicate the location of the imperial command to the officers and soldiers of Rehe.
Otherwise, it will be all in vain, and who knows where Luan Jia is.
Finally, the long-awaited fireworks lit up in the distance in the sky.
"go back!"
He Shen threw his hands away excitedly and ran towards Zartai's camp from a high place.
“The wait is finally here!”
Zalantai, who was also waiting anxiously, did not hesitate and ordered all the officers and soldiers to follow him to attack the imperial camp to eliminate the traitors and protect them.
Before setting off, Heshen was a little worried and said to Zalantai, who was putting on his armor: "My brother-in-law must move quickly. There are not many soldiers in Shikai. If we can't support him in time, we may fail."
"Don't worry, sir!"
With the help of his own soldiers, Zalantai tightened his armor, slapped the breast shield on his chest, and said confidently: "Our Eight Banners of Rehe can kill the enemy when mounted, and charge into battle when dismounted. Our officers and soldiers are all elites, not rich and lustful."
The shameless gang under the two thieves can't stop them! As long as Shikai can hold out for half an hour, our army will arrive!"
After hearing this, He Shen stopped talking and said, "Then He Shen will wait here for the good news from his father-in-law!"
"good!"
Zalantai nodded solemnly, came out of the tent, got on his horse, glanced at his subordinates who had already put on armor, took a sharp breath, raised his hand, and immediately the Eight Banners of Rehe divided into two armies, horse and infantry, to follow Zalantai towards Tailing.
Run to where the emperor is.
Zalantai personally commanded 1,200 cavalry, and the remaining 2,000 infantry were followed by Deputy Governor Ji Qing.
Because the emperor frequently visited the north, the Jehol Banners were also responsible for the task of preparing for the war against Mongolia in the north. Although they were not as brave as Sauron's strong force outside the pass, they were definitely much stronger than the pampered and idle Eight Banners from the Beijing camp.
Each of them was holding a sword and spear, with a bow on his back, and his eyes showed a sense of confidence.
The southern slope was only about 20 miles away from Tailing in a straight line, and there were no soldiers and horses blocking the way. In addition, time was tight, so Zalantai ordered his men to light torches and march directly.
Less than five miles away from the south slope, a group of green soldiers with torches suddenly appeared in front of them and crossed their path to the west.
Judging from the number of torches, there were only a few dozen people.
It may be that the Zhili battalion responsible for the security of the area around Tailing was patrolling at night.
The Green Battalion officer leading the team was a captain. He shouted from a distance to the Eight Banners Soldiers in Rehe who were approaching from the opposite side: "Which unit are you from? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
This unexpected situation made Zalantai frown and signaled to his subordinates to rush forward and tell them that they were the Eight Banners of Rehe and had come to Tailing on the emperor's order.
If the other party refuses to give way, they can only rush their horses and disperse. They must not be allowed to stay here.
"The Eight Banners of Rehe? I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Green Camp Dusi's eyes suddenly lit up. Without saying a word, he took the Tianlong from the hands of his soldiers, clicked on it and exploded in mid-air with a "whoosh" sound.
After that, he turned around and ran away with his subordinates, shouting as he ran: "The Eight Banners soldiers are coming, fire off the artillery!"
At the same time, the gunners on the high slopes on both sides, whose hands and feet hurt from the cold, jumped up one after another and pulled away the hay piled on the large and small artillery pieces.
Not long after, the rumble of cannons was heard, and streaks of fierce flames flew toward the Eight Banners soldiers in Rehe on the road.
