Chapter 83 The honor of the Eight Banners cannot be tarnished!
Jia Liu is serious. Even if the king of heaven comes today, don’t even think about him walking in front of the Eight Banners!
Yes, he admitted that he cherished his life.
But, what's wrong with this?
How can a person who cannot cherish his own life treat his people and subordinates well and become a good official?
If you can't be an official, how can you lead the Qing Dynasty, which belongs to the Eight Banners, to the right track if you are a high official?
Therefore, it is not shameful to be afraid of death!
As long as he could better serve the Qing Dynasty, Jia Liu never cared about external things (including false fame), as well as the contempt and misunderstanding of him by Zu Yingyuan.
All the flag-han colleagues in the seventh team strictly followed Master Jia's military orders - when the troops are full, I advance, when the troops are full, I stop, and when the troops are full, I retreat.
Although all the bannermen colleagues of the ninth team still have some concerns, as soldiers, they must unconditionally obey the military orders from Captain Jia of Shangfeng.
Bao Guozhong, the leader of the Ninth Squadron, could not resist the authority of the "current management" of "the Eight Banners of the Han Army to arrest the frontier school workers".
If he dares to raise objections, Captain Jia will most likely enforce battlefield discipline and fire him on the spot. If the nature of the objection is serious, it is not impossible to bring him to justice on the spot.
As a result, such a scene appeared on the mountain road leading to Akoli Village.
Seventy or eighty Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were driven forward by more than two hundred Han army green battalion soldiers behind them.
It's driving away, it's not fake at all.
The Manchurian soldiers did not leave, and neither did the Han army camp soldiers behind them.
The Manchurian soldiers left before leaving behind.
So, what is it but driving away?
After taking the initiative to stop twice in the hope that the Han army could get past them, to no avail, the unwilling Arles was forced to lead his troops and continue to move forward cautiously.
At the same time, he also made up his mind that after returning, he must kill the forward colonel of the Han army who dared not take Manchuria into consideration. If not, he would be skinned.
Otherwise, where is the authority of the Eight Banners?
Where is the face of Mr. Arles?
She has never been bullied by Han soldiers in her whole life. This is the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair. Hey, she is just so angry...
But soon, Arles' anger was diverted by the sound of gunshots coming from the mountain.
The bandits who had just made a sneak attack did not retreat, but quietly came to the next ambush point that had been explored long ago under the cover of the dense forest.
Or maybe there's another team of cunning thieves hiding here.
Amidst the "bang bang" sound, the four vest soldiers exploring the road ahead were shot. One died on the spot, the other two were injured and fell to the ground. The remaining one panicked and rolled into the grass on the roadside, lying there without daring to move.
The Manchurian soldiers behind quickly raised their guns to fight back, but they had no idea where the attacking bandits were hiding, so they could only fire randomly at the slope.
In the thick smoke, the bandits who succeeded in the attack had already escaped through the cover of the dense forest, leaving the Manchu soldiers who climbed up behind to escape.
Of course, the Han army arrest team behind also heard the sound of gunshots. After a moment of nervousness, they cast admiring glances at Mr. Jia.
Although no one spoke, everyone knew what the other wanted to say.
Mr. Jia, you are wise!
"These cunning thieves are really abominable!"
It is indeed a sparrow-like harassment tactic!
Jia Liu guessed correctly.
Veins popped out on his forehead, and his fists were clenched. He felt very angry when the friendly troops in front were ambushed, and he ordered that the distance between him and the friendly troops would be increased by an additional three hundred feet.
On the Arles side, he frowned as he looked at the killed subordinate and the two wounded men wailing on the ground.
He was not afraid of a face-to-face fight with the thieves, but this villain-style sneak attack left him defenseless and unable to deal with it.
This place is still seven or eight miles away from Akoli Village. The long and narrow mountain road has no end at a glance, and there are dense forests and boulders on both sides. God knows how many thieves are ambushing ahead.
Just when Mr. A was distressed, the Han army arrest team behind him, who refused to obey his command, sent someone over and said that they could send the injured Manchu soldiers to the rear because they brought a carriage.
After being stunned for a moment, Arles realized that this was a signal. It was very likely that the forward commander of the Han Army realized the consequences of contradicting him and wanted to take this opportunity to ask for forgiveness from his master.
Forgiveness is impossible, but a carriage is needed.
Soon, two battalion soldiers drove a carriage over, and with the assistance of the Manchurian soldiers, they carried the dead and the wounded aboard.
The leader of the Han army's forward colonel did not come over, so Mr. Ah waited for the two battalions to send a message and took advantage of the opportunity of forgiveness to move the Han army's soldiers to the front.
However, the two battalion soldiers did not say anything to him, Master A. Only when they jumped on the carriage to drive the carriage, one of them turned to Master A and said:
"Sir, Master Jia said that the number of bandits attacking our army must be small. Their intention is to delay our army's rescue of Akoli Village. Therefore, please do not fall into the trap of the bandits and continue to move forward to avoid delaying the war opportunity."
"..."
Mr. Ah's face is no longer simply black, but so dark that it's almost turning purple.
However, there was nothing he could do against that damn Han Army Forward School.
Because there is really no precedent and no experience to follow.
Who would have thought that Han Junqi, who had always been obedient and obedient, would suddenly no longer recognize his master.
What can we do if we don't have many soldiers and we don't want to hang him?
It was impossible to go back, and Arles also had a military law on his head, so he could only suppress his anger and continue to move forward.
After that, small groups attacked twice more, but they did not cause too many casualties to the Manchurian soldiers.
This made Arles breathe a sigh of relief, but he breathed a sigh of relief a little early.
At a turning point more than three miles away from Akoli Village, the Fan thieves who could no longer let Qing reinforcements pass by finally launched a ferocious attack on the Arles tribe.
About a hundred bandits with black cloth on their heads, armed with muskets and bows and arrows, fired from the slopes on both sides at the Qing army below.
Due to the large number of Fan troops who attacked this time, with no less than fifty muskets, the Arles troops were killed on the spot, with more than a dozen soldiers killed, and fell into unprecedented chaos.
At this moment, dozens of bandits holding short blades and wearing straw clothes suddenly surged up from their hiding places close to both sides of the road. They used the short blades in their hands to stab or cut the Qing army's enemies with all their strength.
neck.
The elite flag soldiers of the Eight Banners were all on the front line. The Manchu soldiers in the rear were already useless. Faced with such a ferocious offensive by the Fan bandits, they immediately collapsed completely and fled backwards.
Arles was also forced to flee back, and now the Han army's arresting team, which refused to obey his command, became his only straw for survival.
More than 30 Manchurian soldiers fled in panic following the footsteps of the leader, followed by the bandits holding short blades. From time to time some were overtaken, and the situation was precarious.
Fortunately, they saw the Han army camp troops coming up from the rear.
But suddenly it stopped again, and then the sound of musketry sounded in the ears of the Manchu soldiers.
Master A instinctively covered his chest and stopped suddenly.
He thought he had been shot, but found nothing happened.
The cannon fired just now was fired into the sky!
In sight, hundreds of green soldiers were divided into several rows, blocking the escape route of the Manchurian soldiers.
"Anyone who escapes from the battlefield and is afraid that the thieves will not enter will be shot on the spot!"
Following Jia Liu's order, Liu De's Fujian green camp soldiers pointed their muskets forward without hesitation.
The soldiers of the ninth team were transferred from Dazhou. Some immediately obeyed the order and picked up the firecrackers. Others hesitated for a while, but finally picked up the firecrackers.
In order to save the defeat and save the besieged Eight Banners brothers, Jia Liu resolutely put on a pointed helmet and armor.
He wants to personally supervise the battle!
Even if it is dangerous to do so.
But he had no choice.
Because he would never allow the honor of the Eight Banners to be ruined by the group of Manchurian soldiers who feared the enemy like tigers at the front!
"For the Qing Dynasty!"
The long sword that had never been unsheathed saw the scenery of the land in Sichuan for the first time.
"For the Qing Dynasty!"
The Han army flag bearers, Su La, held their weapons high and bravely faced the enemy and those cowards who had disgraced the Eight Banners!
Anyone who does not vote monthly is an enemy of the Qing Dynasty, an enemy of the Zhongtang, and a rebel who wants to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!
