Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 490 What is the rivalry with the Eight Banners!

Many gunners who bombarded the Eight Banners of Rehe were also bannermen.

But the surname of these bannermen is Jia, not Ai.

When Jia Liu suppressed the bandits in Linqing, Shandong, he wanted to be Jia Polun, and he was very interested in artillery, so he reorganized the excellent gunners in the vanguard battalion, guard battalion, firearm battalion, and Shanpu battalion under his own control with high salaries. , Formed the Changwei Army Artillery Team, and later asked Lao Yang to help hang in the Zhili Green Camp temporarily due to organizational problems.

There are those who support honesty with high salaries, and there are those who support soldiers with high salaries.

In order to build the strongest artillery of this era, Jia Liuhua's money in the Changwei Artillery Team is like flowing water.In addition to Lao Yang helping to pay a salary from Zhili Provincial Finance, Jia Liu also paid a salary.

The name used is called the Eight Banners Special Salary. So far, it has spent more than 110,000 taels for more than 100 gunners, which is more than [-] taels per capita.

This is still five months, and the average per capita must open at least 200 taels in a year.

In terms of income alone, it is four to five times higher than what these gunners received in their original units.

It's like getting 1000 yuan a month at Ai Company, but 5000 yuan a month at Jia Company. This enthusiasm, this heart, and this morale can only be described in one word - top notch.

When Wanchao Xing was ordered by the great scholar Shu Hede to go north, Jia Liu specially wrote to him to bring the artillery team with him. It was originally intended to be used to suppress the rebel clan team, but he did not expect that it would be used to suppress Qianlong's son-in-law and the enthusiasm loyal to the emperor. No one would have thought of the He Ba Banner soldiers.

The entire artillery team has more than [-] gunners including auxiliary gunners, more than [-] large and small guns, and more than [-] vehicles and horses for towing the guns.

The standard for entering the artillery team of the Changwei Army is five artillery pieces and three middle schools, so the gunners are quite professional. Although there are not many soldiers, they can be said to be the best artillery team in the Qing Dynasty, comparable to the Wuzhenhachao Battalion back then.

As early as when the Eight Banners of Rehe were still in Shunyi, Wan Chaoxing, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, began to deploy defense lines.

The chief of the artillery team led Erda, who was born in the Manchuria Bordered Blue Banner, and led a group of professional officers to conduct a drill in advance according to the range of shelling given by Wan Zongbing.

The sudden bombardment caught Rehe Eight Banners, who was dedicated to protecting Qin Wang, by surprise, and the frightened captain Zha Lantai almost hit the corpse on the spot with shells.

In this case, there may be no more casualties.

It's a pity that Zalantai's life was fatal, and the shell flew past his pointed helmet a few inches.

"put!"

With the continuous orders of the officers, the large and small artillery continued to deliver firepower to the Rehe Eight Banners on the road.

Guan Dai Erda took a binoculars to look at the tragedy of the Rehe rebels who were bombarded, and found that the shelling effect was very good, and basically beat the rebels so hard that Erniang could not be found.

Some rebels who were frightened by the shelling still held up torches stupidly, lest the enemy who ambushed them would not know where they were.

After several rounds of shelling, the road was full of wailing, and dead bodies of people and horses were everywhere.

According to preliminary estimates, no less than three or 400 people were killed by the Eight Banners soldiers.

The remaining Rehe Eight Banners soldiers either ran around at a loss, or cleverly jumped off their horses and lay on the ground.

There are people hiding behind the slightly larger stones on both sides of the road.

"Brothers, the time has come to kill the Tartars and make contributions to the Qing Dynasty!"

Si Yan, the capital of the green battalion who led the brothers to turn around before, turned back with his men, and then led his troops to launch a brave charge against the Eight Banners soldiers without hesitation.

Even though there are still many Eight Banners soldiers ahead.

"Kill!"

Dozens of Green Battalion soldiers were wielding knives or holding spears, and each of them showed no trace of fear on their faces, but was extremely excited.

Yan Dusi acted like his mother Changshan Zhao Zilong.

A few months ago, at the foot of Linqing City, dozens of people from the Changsheng Army cavalry drove hundreds of him into the canal.

Now dozens of people dare to charge the Eight Banners of hundreds of people!

Still cavalry!

It is really hard to look back on the past, counting the heroes, we have to look at the present.

"Brother Artillery fought well, let's see ours next!"

"Tell the brothers, today is the time for us to show our faces in Zhili Lvying. Who the hell will offend me, and I will turn around and crush him to hang him!"

Wan Chaoxing, the general soldier of Zhili, also ordered people to play the general attack signal-three diamond dragons.

Grabbing credit is completely grabbing credit.

According to Master Jia Jia's deployment, the Zhili Green Battalion is responsible for the second wave of attack missions, which is to join the battlefield when the Rehe Eight Banners are dragged by the Shandong Green Battalion, outflank the Rehe Eight Banners from the rear, and completely wipe out the Rehe Eight Banners together with other brother troops.

As a result, Wan Chaoxing, unwilling to be reconciled to being the only one to take his great achievements, blatantly disobeyed the military order, and took the lead in attacking while the Shandong Green Camp was still on the way.

Facts have proved that Wan Chaoxing's vision was right, the Rehe Eight Banners is a paper tiger, poking a hole with a finger.

Of course, Wan Chaoxing dared to launch an early attack on the Rehe Eight Banners alone because he had an absolute psychological advantage.

Eight Banners, little drops.

The green camp is the big drop.

What's more, under the wise command of Master Jia Jia.

"Kill!"

More than [-] Zhili battalion soldiers lurking here rushed out from the ambush, and pointed their swords at the Rehe Eight Banners in chaos like a tiger descending the mountain.

"Third Uncle, who shall we fight?"

"Hit the Tartars!"

"Manchurian Tartars?"

"What, are you afraid?"

"Third uncle looks down on people, doesn't he? Your nephew is afraid of beating bandits, and your nephew is even more afraid of beating Manchuria. I am worthy of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor, and third uncle!"

"."

The officers and soldiers of the Green Camp in Zhili are like little tigers, and they all look like Zhang Fei. In the forbidden area of ​​the imperial mausoleum in Labagou, it perfectly embodies the bravery of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

"My lord, there is an ambush!"

I don't know who the one who yelled these words was, could Zalantai not know that there was an ambush among them.

But he still didn't realize that he was tricked by Jia Jia Shikai, he just thought that the news of their arrival had leaked out, and the rich and perverted thieves who kidnapped his father-in-law made preparations in advance.

Seeing the ambush soldiers coming from all directions from the night, Zalantai was also a little flustered, but he didn't just run away, but swung his sword and reined in his horse to command the remnant soldiers under his command to launch a counterattack.

He can't embarrass Ama Zhaohui!

"Hold it, hold it up for me!"

Zadutong's voice was louder in the night.

"Brothers, follow me!"

The voice of Wan Chaoxing, the Zhili commander-in-chief, was equally resounding. The commander-in-chief who had never been to the front line to attack the Linqing sect bandits even put on his armor and led the charge this time.

Since the Zhili Green Camp was stationed in the heart of Gyeonggi, their weapons were mainly swords and spears. Ten soldiers only had two firecrackers, which could not give enough long-range firepower to suppress the enemy.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Zhili Green Camp with high morale insisted on picking off the majestic Eight Banners soldiers one by one from their horses.

Many warriors emerged in the process.

There is the little hero Wang Sanmazi who leaped alone and threw a Baqi Zuoling from his horse;
Pan Huanghe, a strong man who stabbed three Eight Banners soldiers with a spear;

There is Zhao Changjiang, the general manager of Qian who did not go to the front line after being injured and still led his troops to die;

Countless heroic officers and soldiers of Zhili Green Camp fought like ants in packs of wolves, killing Rehe Eight Banners soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers.

"My lord, I can't stand it anymore!"

The leader, Tara Gulha, desperately dragged Lord Dutong, whose eyes were red, and who wanted to fight with the Green Battalion soldiers.

"withdraw!"

Knowing that it was irreversible, Zalantai stomped his feet fiercely, gritted his teeth and retreated with the remnant troops, and at the same time ordered people to tell the deputy commander of the infantry, Ji Qing, to prepare for the response.

"Chase!"

Discovering that the Rehe Eight Banners soldiers were about to run away, the commander-in-chief Wan Chaoxing would not let them go, and immediately led his troops to pursue them regardless of his own danger.

The Shandong General Soldier who had just rushed over from Xiliu Mountain scolded his mother when he heard the sound of the guns: "Wan Chaoxing is a bastard who has the ability to fight bandits. What's the difference with the Eight Banners! Damn, I'll tell you later!" Lord Jia tells you to go!"
