Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 82 Don't worry, my lord, I will cover you

Sincere thanks to the old friend Australian Chinese "Upstart 2011" who actively donated thousands of taels of silver and became the seventh benefactor behind Jia Zhongtang!

Often wandering around in front of the leader is good for promotion, but sometimes when the leader encounters trouble, he will immediately think of this person who often hangs around.

Good things are him, and bad things are also him.

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

Because he doesn't know how to fight at all.

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

Years ago, he led his team to take back half of the army's salary, and killed more than ten thieves. If such talents are not available, who will be available?

"Whoo!"

Jia Liu, who hit himself with a gun, had no choice but to rush back to the seventh team of the headquarters, shouting for assembly at the top of his voice.

The military order is like a mountain, and even if he has two guts, he dare not refuse to go.

"Big team, what's the matter, didn't you go to flatter, why did you come back so soon, and flatter the horse's hooves?"

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

Seeing that Guiziliu's face was really ugly, he couldn't help but be amused: Is it right?

"What happened, why did you gather again?!"

A group of Baitang Atongsula who were taking a lunch break or playing with money ran out of their respective houses, their hands and feet were in a mess, and several of them were holding broken silver and copper coins, for fear that they would be thrown on the table. It looks like someone else took a few of them.

The clothes are also varied.

The sun is sunny and the temperature is high today. Many people have washed their military uniforms with their hair on. They will wear clothes brought from home.

At a glance, they don't look like a group of people eating imperial food, but they look like they just came out of a kiln.

The only one who looked decent was Yang Yuchun who didn't forget to rush out with the iron rod in hand.

Yang Zhi, his own servant, was even more irritating, and ran out with his trousers in his hands, with a bitter expression on his face: "Master, I'm pulling, what are you shouting for?"

"."

What made Jia Liu speechless was not that Shuan Zhu came out of the hut, but that this guy still held the old imperial calendar of the Qing Dynasty.

Much thinner than before.

Helpless, Jia Liu was so wronged that he had nowhere to say anything about the help of his subordinates.

Knowing that they could not be counted on, he asked Yang Yuchun to inform Liu De of the green battalion to gather at the west gate of the stockade, and Wang Fu to inform the ninth team in the battalion to also gather.

Seeing this, Zu Yingyuan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked what happened.

"The food team has been attacked,"

Jia Liu told about the attack on Akeli Village, and Zu Yingyuan hurriedly asked everyone to get dressed, put on armor and weapons, and prepare to set off.

"These thieves are still letting people pass by, can't they make trouble after the Lantern Festival!"

Wang Si and the others cursed and went back to the house to get the equipment, while Cui Hengyou and the others rushed to get the undried military uniforms, and it was such a mess that Jia Liu couldn't even look at it.

By the time Su La, a flag member of the seventh team, rushed to the west gate of the village, Liu De had already arrived with his battalion.

Hearing that the bandits attacked the food delivery team and surrounded the Akeli village with two arresting teams, Liu De immediately realized that there might be a lot of bandits coming this time, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to surround the Akeli village. .

After all, there are more than [-] Deyang Green Battalion soldiers stationed in the stockade.

Jia Liu was not too clear about the specific situation. He only knew that the battalion from Deguguan, which was closest to Akeli Village, had rushed to reinforce them.

Bao Guozhong rushed over with the Ninth Squad. This arresting team was also composed of bannermen and battalion soldiers, but the bannermen were not the melon eggs that Jia Liu brought to Meinuo Village, but stayed in Jinchuan for at least half a year.

These bannermen were not from Baitang'a, they were all ordinary Eight Banners soldiers, and their families could basically be regarded as the lowest level of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

In other words, the ancestors are all small traitors, but there are no big traitors.

With a bad background, we can only work hard, so the combat effectiveness of the ninth team is stronger than that of the seventh team, which gives Jia Liu a little bit of confidence.

"Stand up, listen to me!"

Without delay, Jia Liu explained to everyone that Akeli Village was attacked and asked them to go to the rescue immediately, and then ordered them to set off.

Just when they were about to set off, another group of men and horses rushed out from the stockade, all Manchurian soldiers, about five or sixty people.

The leader of the team is a Manchurian striker who is 30 years old and not tall.Seeing that both Jia Liu and Bao Guozhong were wearing blue-ling official uniforms, he reined in his horse and asked them, "Are you from the arrest team of the Han army?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Before Jia Liu could answer, Bao Guozhong, who was next to him, stepped forward to answer.

"Then why haven't you left yet!"

"My lord, let's go now."

The Manchurian vanguard took a look at the disfigured gang of disciples who worshiped Tang A behind Jia Liu, his brows were slightly frowned, he ignored the reprimand and beat the horse, and left, followed by all the Manchurian soldiers.

After all the flags left, Yang Zhi asked in a low voice, "Master, who is this?"

Jia Liu didn't know, he had never had contact with Manchurian officials since he called Menuo Village, and he had been around the Han army all the time, so he really didn't know the Manchurian forward who participated in the leadership.

Bao Guozhong originally wanted to order the departure directly, but after thinking about it, he asked his "boss" Jia Brigade for his opinion.

"Let's go."

Jia Liu raised his hand, now that things are up to now, he can only go up.

On the way, I ran into two groups of people reporting to Minuo for help. They all said that there were a large number of bandits besieging the Akeli village during the attack on the grain team, and the situation was very critical.

The Manchurian striker from Arles was worried that Akeli village would be breached by the bandits, so he sent word to the Han army's arresting team to speed up.

This made Jia Liu want to walk slowly, pointing to rush to clean up, but the idea of ​​dealing with business affairs could not be realized.

However, not long after passing the Degu checkpoint, there were gunshots on the hillsides on both sides.

At that time, Jia Liu, who was riding a white horse, dismounted in an instant, rolled over on the ground with a donkey, and fell down on the edge of a stone.

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

The movements were so skillful and so vigorous that Zu Yingyuan on one side couldn't even react.

"Get down, get down!"

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

Seeing Wang Fu and the others standing stupidly on the road, Jia Liu shouted anxiously.

Only then did the group of bannermen come to their senses and got off their horses one after another, but some of them were lying under the roadside stones like Mr. Jia, while others were lying on the road directly.

"There's someone up there!"

Liu De remained calm after hearing the sound of the guns, and shouted to his battalion soldiers to stick to the rocks on both sides to release the guns upwards.

The same is true for the Ninth Squad. Suddenly there is a loud bang and black smoke fills the air.

After about dozens of breaths, the gunfire gradually stopped.

Jia Liu tipped his head and quietly looked up.

"Young master, don't be afraid. Don't you always say that guns are only for cowards? As long as we are brave, the king of Hades will be afraid."

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

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

Angrily glanced at Yang Zhi who was lying on top of him, Jia Liu continued to look up the slope ahead, but there were no ghosts.

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

One shot for another place?
Guerrilla?

Jia Liu understood that this was because the bandits wanted to delay the Qing army through harassment and buy time for the main force to besiege Akeli Village.

After thinking through this verse, Jia Liu immediately gained confidence.

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

"Watch out!"

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

Jia Liu, who was basically sure that there would be no danger, pushed away Yang Zhi, who was lying on him in the name of protecting the young master, but actually wanted to hide under the rock, patted his butt and got up and began to give instructions in line with his status.

Bao Guozhong listened to this order, hesitantly obeyed, and arranged two teams to climb the slope to search.

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

Liu De probably also guessed the intention of the bandits, and just as he was talking, two Manchurian soldiers of the Eight Banners rushed forward.

One of them asked, "Who is the leader!"

"I'm."

Jia Liu stepped forward.

The Manchurian soldier said: "A Can has an order to let you go ahead!"

Jia Liu didn't even think about it, he said, "Go back and tell Ah Shenling that with us covering him, he can go forward boldly."
