Chapter 81: Don't worry, I'll cover for you

Sincerely thank my old friend Australian Chinese "Upstart Son 2011" for actively donating 1,000 taels of silver thousands of miles away, becoming the seventh gold boss behind Jia Zhongtang!

...........

Wandering around in front of the leader often is good for promotion, but sometimes when the leader encounters something, he will also think of this person who often wanders around for the first time.

The good things are him, and the bad things are also him.

The matter of leading troops to save people may be good people for other experienced officers, but it is definitely not a good thing for Jia Liu.

Because, he can't fight at all.

It's just that who made him in front of Master Cui.

A few years ago, he led the team to recapture half of the military salary and killed more than ten thieves.

"Huh!"

Jia Liu, who hit the muzzle of the gun, had no choice but to rush back to the seventh squad of the headquarters and shouted at the top of his voice to assemble.

The military order is like a mountain, and he doesn't dare not go to borrow his two guts.

"Brigade, what's the matter, didn't you go to pat the horse's ass, why did you come back so soon and slap the horse's hooves?"

Zu Yingyuan, who was washing braids in the house, ran out while rubbing his wet hair with a towel.

When I saw that Devil Six's face was indeed very ugly, I couldn't help but be happy: Could it be right?

"What's wrong, how did you gather again?!"

A group of Baitang Ah and Su La, who were either on their lunch break or playing with money, rushed out of their respective houses, and several of them were holding broken silver and copper plates in their hands, as if they were afraid that if they were thrown on the table, they would be touched by others.

The clothes are also varied.

Today, the sun is good and the temperature is high, and many people have washed their military uniforms with their hair, which will be wearing clothes brought from home.

At a glance, where it looks like a group of people eating imperial grain, it looks like it just came out of the kiln.

The only one who looks like it is Yang Yuchun, who didn't forget to rush out with an iron rod.

His own slave Yang Zhi was even more annoyed, and he ran out with his pants up, with an angry expression: "Young master, I'm pulling, what are you shouting." ”

“......”

Jia Liu was speechless not because the bolt pillar came out of the thatched house, but because this guy still had the old Qing Dynasty calendar in his hand.

It's a lot thinner than before.

Helplessly, with this group of subordinates, Jia Liu is also aggrieved and has nowhere to go.

Knowing that he couldn't count on them, he asked Yang Yuchun to inform Liu Debu of the Green Battalion to gather at the west gate of the village, and asked Wang Fu to notify the ninth squad in the camp to also gather.

Seeing this, Zu Yingyuan felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly asked what happened.

"The grain team was attacked,"

Jia Liu told the story of the attack on Akoli Village, and when Zu Yingyuan heard this, he hurriedly asked everyone to get dressed, take their armor and weapons, and prepare to set off.

"This thief still doesn't let people pass, can't you make trouble after the Lantern Festival!"

Wang Si and the others scolded and went back to the house to get the equipment, while Cui Hengyou and the others hurriedly went to get the military uniforms that had not been dried, and it was a mess, and Jia Liu couldn't even see it.

By the time Su La, the flag officer of the seventh squad, rushed to the west gate of the village, Liu De had already arrived with the battalion soldiers.

As soon as he heard that the thieves attacked the grain transportation team and surrounded the two arrest teams in Akeli Village, Liu De immediately realized that there were a lot of thieves this time, otherwise it would be impossible to dare to surround Akoli Village.

After all, there are more than 300 Deyang green battalion soldiers stationed in the stockade.

Jia Liu didn't know the specific situation, but he only knew that the battalion soldiers of Deguguan, the closest to Akoli Village, had rushed to reinforce him.

Bao Guozhong rushed over with the ninth squad, and this arrest team was also composed of flagmen and battalion soldiers, but the flagkeepers were not the raw melons and eggs that Jia Liu brought to Meinuo Village, but stayed in Jinchuan for at least half a year.

These flagmen are not from Baitang'a, they are all ordinary Eight Banner soldiers, and their families can basically be regarded as the lowest level of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

In other words, the ancestors were all little traitors, and there were no big traitors.

If you don't have a good background, you can only work hard, so the combat effectiveness of this ninth squad is stronger than that of the seventh squad, which gives Jia Liu a little confidence.

"Stand up, listen to me!"

Jia Liu did not delay, and attacked the village of Akoli, and asked them to immediately go to the rescue to explain to everyone, and then ordered everyone to set off.

Just as he was about to set off, another group of men and horses rushed out of the stockade, all Manchurian soldiers, about fifty or sixty people.

The leader of the team was a Manchurian striker, thirty years old, not tall. Seeing that Jia Liu and Bao Guozhong were both wearing Lanling official uniforms, he asked the two of them: "You are from the Han army's arrest team?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Before Jia Liu could answer, Bao Guozhong on the side stepped forward and returned.

"Then why don't you set off yet!"

"My lord, let's go."

The Manchurian forward staff leader glanced at the unruly group of Baitang disciples behind Jia Liu, frowned slightly, and left without reprimanding the horse, and the Manchurian soldiers followed.

When the flags were far away, Yang Zhi asked quietly, "Young Master, who is this?" ”

Jia Liu didn't know that he had never been in contact with Manchu and Mongolian officials since he came to Meinuozhai, and he had been circling around the Han army, so he really didn't know the Manchurian striker leader.

Bao Guozhong originally wanted to give the order to set off directly, but after thinking about it, he still asked the opinion of the "boss" Jia Brigade.

"Let's go."

Jia Liu raised his hand, and now he can only go on.

..........

On the way, I ran into two groups of people who went to Meinuo to report for help, and they all said that this time they attacked the grain team, and the number of thieves besieging Akoli Village was very large, and the situation was very critical.

Arles, the Manchurian striker, feared that the village of Akoli would be breached by thieves, so he sent a message to the Han army to speed up.

This made Jia Liu want to walk slowly, pointing to rush to clean up, and the idea of coping with the errand could not be realized.

However, not long after the Degu level, there was a sound of bells on the hillsides on both sides.

At that time, Jia Liu, who was riding a white horse, dismounted instantly, rolled on a donkey on the spot, and lay down on the edge of a stone.

The stone is not big, it can only block the upper body of Lord Jia, but it cannot protect his lower body.

The movements are skillful, and the degree of fitness is so strong that Zu Yingyuan on the side has not reacted.

"Get down, get down!"

"Don't die, I want to be shot!"

Seeing Wang Fu and the others who were still standing stupidly on the road, Jia Liu was so anxious that he hurriedly shouted.

Only then did the flagmen react and dismount one after another, but some of them were lying under the stones on the side of the road like Lord Xuejia, and some were lying down directly on the road.

"There's someone up there!"

Liu De was quite calm after hearing the sound of the gun, and shouted to his battalion soldiers to stick to the rocks on both sides and put the guns upward.

The same was true for the Ninth Squad, which suddenly made a loud noise and filled the air with black smoke.

After about a few dozen breaths, the sound of the gun gradually stopped.

Jia Liu looked up quietly.

"Young master, don't be afraid, don't you often say that guns specialize in fighting cowards, as long as we are bold, the king of Hades will be afraid when he sees it."

"Yes, my lord, with me, the thief can't hurt you!"

What Er Yang wanted to express was actually the same, but the words were harsh and comfortable in Jia Liu's ears.

Glancing at Yang Zhi lying on top of him angrily, Jia Liu continued to look up the slope ahead, but there was no ghost.

Looking at the casualties of their own side, except for a person in the ninth squad who was called in pain, there were no other casualties.

Take a shot and change places?

Guerrilla?

Jia Liu understood that this was a thief who wanted to delay the Qing army by attacking and harassing to buy time for the main force besieging Akoli Village.

After figuring out this section, Jia Liu suddenly had confidence.

If you don't want me to pass, I won't.

"Be on guard!"

"Bao Guozhong, you lead a team of people to climb up and search!"

Jia Liu, who was basically sure that there would be no danger, pushed away and lay on him, saying that he was protecting the young master, but in fact, Yang Zhi, who also wanted to hide under the stones, patted his ass and got up and began to make instructions that were in line with his identity.

Bao Guozhong listened to this order, hesitated to do so, and arranged for two teams of people to climb the slope to search.

"My lord, there may not be many thieves who attacked,"

Liu De probably guessed the thief's intentions, and as he was talking, two Eight Banner Manchurian soldiers rushed over.

One of them asked, "Who's the leader?" ”

"I am."

Jia Liu stepped forward.

The Manchurian soldier said: "Ah Shen has an order, let you go ahead!" ”

Jia Liu didn't think about it, so he said: "You go back and tell Ah Shenling that with us covering behind, he can go forward boldly with confidence." ”
