Li Qingyuan was arranging the affairs of the six sons here, and Wu Duyan did usher in an unexpected victory, and the Qing army originally felt that a group of bandits nesting in the mountains were not immediately wiped out in front of the army.

But after more than ten days of fighting, not to mention the elimination of the bandits, even the first wall has not been climbed, and the bandits' terrain is too narrow for the army to carry out.

The Qing army, of more than 30,000 people, was finally able to send 500 people to the front line, and the bandits not only had shotguns, but also a musket that was more powerful than shotguns.

The Qing army is out of reach of bows and arrows, no one shoots far from the musket, put on a shield, and people greet them with rolling stones and sassalwoods, and not only have nothing to gain for more than half a month, but they have also suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

The commander of the Qing army had no choice but to find a way to bypass the checkpoint, but he inquired around a large circle nearby, and everyone said that Wu Duyan's cottage was steep and could not be climbed at all, and there were cliffs all around, and it was impossible to climb at all.

The commander-in-chief brought in all the soldiers and generals who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of Wu One-eyed over the years, and everyone summed it up, but it was still necessary to find a way to break through from the front.

Just when the battle between the two sides was fierce and anxious, the commander received Qianlong's reprimand, and Qianlong was still more concerned about this bandit who dared to claim to be the king, and saw that the front line could not make progress for a long time, so he directly issued an order to reprimand.

The commander has no choice but to strengthen the attack, as the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, the commander issued a reward order, and the first official to climb the wall was promoted to a third level and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

And sent the most elite 3,000 men to attack in three waves, vowing to break through the enemy village in one fell swoop, in order to be able to deal with the defenders on the wall, the Qing army did not hesitate to use more than 2,000 people to transport five cannons, intending to use cannons to blast open the wall.

After two days of continuous attack, both sides were exhausted, and the commander of the Qing army saw the opportunity, put the cannon on the mount, and fired three rounds before one shot hit the wall, but only this one shot blew up a big hole in the wall.

Seeing that it had an effect, the Qing army immediately boosted its morale, the artillery fired faster, and after ten rounds of shooting, four or five holes had appeared in Wu Duyan's first wall.

The Qing army concentrated 3,000 people at a time to rush up, Wu Duyan's minions had never seen such a cannon, and now there was no walled wall and hurriedly retreated towards the second pass.

The Qing army successfully occupied the wall, and the commander thought that the enemy camp had been broken, so he immediately asked everyone to rush up! The Qing army trotted all the way and shouted to rush to the second pass.

As a result, the Qing army was not happy to fight for a while, the heads were rolling stones and trees, muskets and bows and arrows were flying, and suddenly there were heavy casualties.

At this time, Wu Duyan led the bandits out of the second pass, and the Qing army was immediately killed, but after the rout in front, they desperately wanted to retreat, and those who didn't know the situation in the back were still desperately squeezing forward.

It wasn't until the explosives bag and other objects were thrown down on the mountain that the people below reacted and retreated in a hurry, losing not only the first pass they had laid, but also the artillery position.

If it weren't for the large number of reserves under the commander of the Qing army, desperately blocking Wu Duyan's way down the mountain, I'm afraid that in this battle, Wu Duyan would be able to rush down the mountain!

After the battle, he counted the battle, not only killed 3,000 soldiers, but also lost five cannons, and the commander knew that his days were coming to an end, so he was busy besieging the mountain while pleading.

In less than six days, Qianlong's holy decree arrived, and he was dismissed from office on the spot and returned to Beijing to ask for the guilt, and the replacement person was Fukangan, and this time Fukangan brought 1,000 people from the new Shenji Battalion.

The so-called New Divine Machine Battalion was re-trained after Li Qingyuan killed the old Divine Aircraft Battalion last time, and there was no innovation in weapons or tactics, but it was just re-training.

Li Qingyuan got the news, and did not have any opinion and caution about this Shenji battalion, but became interested in Fukangan, according to the wild history, he and He Shen both made a fortune because of their handsome appearance, and it is said that they are Qianlong's friends.

However, this Fukangan has a little record, which should not be underestimated, from this matter, Li Qingyuan can see Qianlong's attitude towards this matter, and it is estimated that Wu Duyan's days will be sad.

When you come to Fukangan, how to fight or how to fight, even if he fights bravely, even if he has a magic machine battalion, but your gun is not as long as the range of others, and you are still blind.

So after coming from Fukangan, the two sides fought in the first line of defense, and when Fukangan first came, he executed several generals who retreated, and the Qing army immediately rose bravely.

But after attacking the first level, the second level was almost unsolvable, the artillery could not reach the cliffs on both sides, the muskets could not hit, and the bow and arrow had no strength to shoot up.

So he finally paid a big sacrifice to win the first pass, but he had to give it to Wu Duyan at night, and he attacked for ten days and ten nights in a row, but Fukangan could only linger at the first pass.

Fukangan, who has exhausted his sharpness, can only hope for a war of attrition and a long-term siege, but fortunately, he can pass the responsibility on to his predecessor, and he is being favored and can be arranged calmly.

Li Qingyuan saw that the two sides were at a stalemate again, so he was relieved, Hou Zheng's trade route was finally opened, Li Qingyuan planned to follow the second wave of caravans to Shandong, this time in addition to Li Qingyuan and Wu Sanniang, Li Qingyuan also planned to bring 2,000 barrels.

The whole gun will definitely be inspected, but the barrel can be disguised as other goods, such as bamboo, reed rods, dry firewood, etc., and can even be directly disguised as a car board to reduce the probability of detection.

With the barrel, other parts can be processed in Shandong, as long as this method is feasible, the barrel will be continuously transported in the future.

In this way, Li Qingyuan only needs to master the core technology of the barrel, the caravan is ready, Wu Sanniang also came here, and Li Qingyuan announced that he would leave tomorrow.

In addition to Wu Sanniang this time, there was also a thirty-person sharpshooter squad with Li Qingyuan, and the current sharpshooter battalion is not what it used to be.

In addition to having a good marksmanship, the selection must also have a certain martial arts foundation, and it is best to have their own specialties, Li Qingyuan wants to develop this team towards special warfare.

Therefore, in addition to selecting people from the firearms battalion, the sharpshooter battalion is now selecting some outstanding ones from various detachments of the Tianli Council to join, and the number of people has also exceeded 200, and the thirty people brought this time are just like this new sharpshooter battalion.

These people may not be able to do Wu Sanniang one-on-one, but if three or five go together, Wu Sanniang will have to deal with it with all his might, if you add marksmanship, it is estimated that Wu Sanniang can only hehe.

However, Li Qingyuan also knows that it is not enough to have special combat personnel, people like Wu Sanniang are like heroes in the Red Police, they are both a part of the force and a symbol of the spirit, and these people can exert at least 120 percent of their strength.
