My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 147 Looking for traces
Although what Jia Yu said made sense, everyone still had doubts.

Wu Yunchun was the first to raise his question: "Sir, the power of our muskets is indeed sharp, but the Tatars have 7 or [-] troops. If they swarm over, we will not be able to stop them even if we have three heads and six arms."

"Lao Wu's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, the Tatars have a large number of people, so we still need to take a long-term approach." Xie Youyuan also echoed from the side. "

Seeing that the two subordinates were also afraid, Jia Yu glared at the villain fiercely and quickly lowered her head in fear.

You have no brains. Do you think Mr. Guan is the same as you?

Jia Yu was a little angry for a while.

I want to take the initiative to fight, but I didn't say that I would fight to the death with the Tatar army of [-] to [-] people. Could it be that in the eyes of you guys, I am the kind of brainless person? "

However, Jia Yu also knew that the two men's ideas were correct. Before the invention of the machine gun, bolt-action rifles were indeed somewhat difficult to use when facing an enemy with an absolute advantage.

He waved, motioning the two of them to come closer.

When the two of them got closer, he bent down and picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground.

"Look...this is Tongguan, and this is where we are staying now.

According to the news from Ye Bushou, Tuotuo Buhua and his main force are still staying in Tongguan to rest.With our current strength, it would be an egg against a rock to attack Tongguan.

As the saying goes, you have to pick up the weak persimmons, so what we have to do now is to kick out the weak ones. "

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed when Jia Yu said something interesting.

Xie Youyuan asked: "My lord, please tell me clearly, where is the statement about getting rid of rabbits without spending money?"

"It's here!"

Jia Yu used branches to draw a circle behind Tongguan. Their weak spot was here.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Jia Yu smiled slightly: "You should know that the Mongolian Tatars fight differently from us.

Since the beginning of Genghis Khan, the Tatars have always fought in large armies. Wherever the army in front goes, the herdsmen in the rear will drive their cattle and sheep.

Among these herders are their parents, children, wives, children, and all their property.

The advantage of this is that the Tatars fight extremely bravely and never retreat, because once they retreat, their families behind them will be exposed to the enemy's front line.

But the shortcomings are also very obvious. Once defeated, the team will be wiped out, and there is no way to take revenge. "

Now, what we have to do is to bypass Tongguan and find the Tatars' lair behind.

There is only one thing left for us to do, and that is to burn them all, kill them all, and rob them all!
When he said this, Jia Yu's eyes had an indescribable coldness.

After listening to Jia Yu's analysis, Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan also agreed, but Xie Youyuan said again: "Sir, we are all foot soldiers now. Although the Tatars' lair will follow the large troops, they want to move within hundreds of miles. Finding the Tatar lair is not easy.

Once discovered by them, these people will immediately mount their horses and run away, and there is nothing we can do to chase them. "

Jia Yu nodded: "This is indeed a problem, so our actions must be fast, accurate and ruthless."

The two stood up and shouted loudly: "I obey your military orders!" Three days later

The more than 1 troops led by Jia Yu had quietly bypassed Tongguan via a small road and appeared dozens of miles behind Tongguan.

Because the path was too rugged and difficult to walk, the artillery battalion and the five thousand people almost shed several layers of skin in order to move heavy objects such as baggage and artillery through the path, and even cost the lives of more than 100 young people. Successfully bypassed Tongguan.

In the lonely wasteland, night covered the entire sky, and stars were shining faintly.Jia Yu led an army of more than 1 people along with their baggage and marched silently in this desolate land.

Under the illumination of the moonlight and stars, the large army was advancing silently, like a long dragon winding forward.

In the silent night sky, only the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty wilderness, only the sound of heavy and slightly chaotic footsteps.

After bypassing Tongguan, Jia Yu ordered all the Ye Bu Shu to be dispersed. Even Feng Ziying and more than 200 cavalry under his command also made a cameo appearance.

But for two consecutive days, Ye Bushou did not find any valuable clues. The nomads accompanying the Mongolian Tatars seemed to have disappeared, and not even a single figure could be seen.

In order to keep it secret, Jia Yu also issued an order to rest during the day and travel at night, which made it even more difficult to find traces of the Tatar herdsmen.

Many people did not understand Jia Yu's order. Marching at night is a very dangerous thing these days.

Nowadays, unlike in later generations, there are poisonous insects and beasts everywhere in the wilderness, and you will be attacked if you are not careful.

Especially those poisonous insects that like to hide in dark places have caused many soldiers to be bitten.

At this time, Jia Yu was at the front of the team, looking down at the remote control panel.

A few miles away from him, a black machine floated silently in the air, its electronic motor making a faint but continuous hum.

The drone glides lightly in the air, like an elegant falcon, leaving a dark and graceful arc in the wilderness.

Behind Jia Yu, dozens of soldiers guarded him firmly in the middle to ensure that no one could disturb their general.

Yes, the method Jia Yu is using now is still exactly the same as the method he used when he suppressed bandits in Erlong Mountain last time.

Using drones to conduct searches at night, an area of ​​dozens of square kilometers can be detected within a few ten minutes.

As for why not do it during the day, the reason is simple.

As a nomadic people who once established a huge empire across the Eurasian continent, the Mongols are certainly not vegetarians. As a people who have lived on horseback since childhood, they are naturally very vigilant.

They will definitely set up numerous outposts outside the camp, and if they find anything unusual, they will immediately smear the soles of their feet and run away.

By then, Jia Yu and his team, which were almost all infantry, could only stare blankly.

It's different at night. At night, human eyes will be greatly weakened, but on the contrary, the function of the infrared detection equipment on the drone can be maximized.

In this way, the advantage of information difference can be maximized, which is why Jia Yu insisted on resting during the day and marching at night.

As time passed, a red warning light suddenly lit up on the control panel in Jia Yu's hand. It was a warning issued by the infrared detector installed on the drone after it detected the target.

At the same time, the drone flying more than 300 meters in the air also sent back the images it captured...
