On the way back, he passed through Akeli Village again, and Li Chengzong, the original subordinate and descendant of Li Dingguo, warmly greeted Captain Jia and his colleagues in the arrest team.

After being attacked twice by thieves, the number of defenders in the stockade more than doubled, nearly 600 people.

The Deyang battalion soldiers who were originally stationed here were transferred out because of heavy losses, and a new Shaanxi-Gansu-Gansu battalion was transferred over.

After Jia Liu entered the stockade, he found a group of Shaanxi and Gansu battalion soldiers studying something around the door artillery, and then the battalion soldiers used a wooden frame to try to set up the artillery diagonally.

It is the appearance of the muzzle at a 45-degree angle.

Artillery, Jia Liu is a layman, but seeing that this battalion spent so much effort just to put the artillery diagonally, he was really curious, and couldn't help but ask them what the purpose of doing this was.

"Back to the adult, the thief's stone pills are too strong, and our current cannons can't blow up at all, so we wonder if we can turn the cannons diagonally to hit, so that the cannonballs may be able to hit the top of the stone towers..."

A gunner was afraid that Jia Liu would not understand, so he drew an arc in the air with his hand, meaning that the cannonballs fired were not as straight as before, but directly into the inside of the stone blockhouse in an arc.

Jia Liu, who is a layman of artillery, can't help but think of mortars.

looked at the stone pills not far away, and my heart was also moved: yes, isn't the mortar the best weapon to deal with this kind of stone block.

It's like a giant covered in armor, and there are no flaws in the top and bottom, but the head is bare, so don't you concentrate on attacking this head to knock the giant down?

But he didn't say anything, and he wouldn't give any guidance, just watching this group of Shaanxi and Gansu battalion soldiers do experiments on the side.

The reason is that the longer Jin Chuan fights, the more beneficial it is for him.

If the Qing army was equipped with mortar-like mortars on a large scale, where would he still be able to mine in this large and small gold mountain.

The test turned out to be a definite failure, and the improvised wooden frame could not withstand the vibration of a cannon firing at all.

The battalion soldiers were disappointed, but Jia Liu knew that they were on the right path.

He didn't leave, but chatted with these green battalion soldiers, and learned that they were originally under the control of Dong Tianbi, the governor of Sichuan, and had been stationed in Dimuda southwest of the camp for half a year.

Because the key transshipment point of the grain route was often attacked by thieves, they were pulled from Dimuda.

"The boss transferred you from Master Dong to this side, so isn't there a shortage of soldiers under Lord Dong?"

Jia Liu is an officer of the Eight Banners, and the Green Battalion soldiers will definitely not be wary of him, and some people say that the front line is now tight everywhere, and there is no redundant manpower to call back, and there is no manpower to replenish.

"My lord doesn't know, the brothers in front of me are all using one top two now, and the brothers are in this place..."

Jia Liu smiled and turned to leave.

Wen Fu kept transferring troops from the front line to the rear, which was exactly what the thieves wanted to achieve by attacking the grain road.

But this is a conspiracy, and it can't be blessed.

Transferring back and forth will inevitably lead to the weakening of the defenders somewhere on the front line, and once the thieves find out about this situation, they will definitely change from passive to active, and the Qing army will definitely be in big trouble at that time.

As a disciple of Eight Banners, can Jia Liu sit idly by?

I really ignore it.

Wen Zhongtang himself led the wolf like a room, and included a group of obviously problematic plateau soldiers in the Muguomu camp, even if he did not transfer troops from the front line to the back, something would inevitably happen.

And he wished that Wen Zhongtang would fart as soon as possible.

After walking a few steps, I was suddenly stunned, as if there were also plateau troops in Meinuo Guanzhai!

If this fucking group of people were divided into two groups, one in front of the other, and came over to fake surrender, wouldn't it mean that Jia Liu and his gang were dancing with wolves?

The problem is a bit serious.

According to his preliminary understanding of the anti-Qing forces in Jinchuan, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty were part of it, and the Miao Yao forces were part of it, but now it was the plateau soldiers who acted as the main force.

And he only hooked up with Lu Yuanguang, a remnant of the Ming Dynasty, and had no contact with the plateau soldiers, so the plateau troops were really going to be chaotic, and he Jia would not pay attention to the white flag if he wanted to.

The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became.

"Master Jia, what are you thinking?"

When Li Chengzong came over, he saw Master Jia's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, nothing."

Grain squid

Jia Liu saw that he was almost rested, "It's not early, I'll lead the team back." ”

Li Chengzong nodded: "It's not safe on the road, Master Jia should be more careful." ”

Jia Liu smiled, gathered his subordinates and continued to return to Meinuo Village.

After passing through Arles and other Manchurian soldiers who died, I was really cold and swishing for no reason.

I don't know if the dead ghosts are squatting on the side of the road to watch him.

Two days later, Jia Liu led the team back to Meinuo Village, and did not go to the dispatch room to report to the work at the first time, but went to see the flower dog bear first.

Unexpectedly, when the flower dog bear saw him, it was like seeing his own father, and he screamed.

On second look, it was noticeably thinner.

When you walk, your stomach is round, and it's going to be deflated.

It's only been a few days!

Look at it again, the bamboo that I was reluctant to eat has turned into bear.

Jia Liuda was furious and immediately found Wu Lao Er, who was in charge of the food of the flower dog bear, and asked him if he had deducted the dog's food.

"Adult, how dare the little one, according to your orders, whatever I eat, it will eat..."

Wu Lao Er hurriedly defended himself and gave an excuse that Jia Liu felt was reasonable.

The flower dog bear may be because he misses his boss and his boss too much, so he has no appetite these days, and he will definitely lose weight if he doesn't think about tea and dinner.

Looking at Wu Lao Er, who was holding his crutches, Jia Liu decided to spare him this time, and told the other party to set up the chess and come back to kill two games.

asked the bolt pillar to get some meat and rice for the dog, and Jia Liu went to the dispatch room to find Lao Cui to hand over.

bumped into Guo Guangquan on the way, and learned from the other party that the Huang guerrilla was shot in the chest by the thief's musket, and he couldn't carry it back that night.

Jia Liu immediately expressed deep sympathy.

"Sixth son, don't take this kind of thing on your body in the future, you are stupid, others can't hide, you are sticking it up by yourself, it is really a thief to death, where are you going to shout injustice?"

Guo Guangquan, as a person who came over, understood that the young sixth son had the intention of climbing up, so he was eager to make meritorious contributions, but he must be reminded that it was okay to climb up, but it depended on when.

Yesterday, a grain transport team was wiped out, and none of the more than 300 battalions escorted came back alive.

It made people panic in the village.

At this moment, it is not cost-effective to lose your life for the sake of meritorious service.

He also instructed Jia Liu, it's not his job, such as transportation and salary, don't get involved anymore, meritorious work is someone else's, but if something happens, you have to be unlucky.

That is to say, the above knows that the responsibility is not on Jia Liu, and Jia Liu also regained half of his military salary, otherwise he would definitely be punished.

Jia Liuzi thanked Guo Guangquan again and again for his kind reminder, saying that he would invite Guo Guangquan and several other adults to drink after handing it over.

"Hurry up, Lao Cui seems to have just come back from Liu Butang."

Guo Guangquan had something to do, so he didn't say anything more and went straight to the past.

When Jia Liu arrived at the dispatch room, he saw Lao Cui talking to a few people, and saw Jia Liu hurriedly waving his hand to call him in: "You came back just in time, tomorrow you will lead the team to send a batch of grain to the Governor of Dimuda Dong." ”

"Let me carry the grain?"

Jia Liu was stunned.

Master Cui also looked helpless: "It's not that I embarrass you, it's that the manpower in the village is tight, and it says that the arrest team has to transport grain." ”

"My lord, do you have any discussions?"

Jia Liuzhen didn't want to go to Dimuda, that place was more dangerous than Muguomu.

"No discussion."

Lao Cui pushed away Jia Liu's hand that was about to reach out to him against his will, "If you don't go, I have to go." ”
