This sleep, Jiang Yi slept very soundly, only waking up when it was close to noon.
With Yi Tian's reminder, he found out that Jiang Hu had been waiting for him in the study for a long time.
It turned out that the people who had inquired about the information had returned this morning. Jiang Hu saw that Jiang Yi still did not appear for a long time, so he directly brought people and rushed to the Jiang Family's mansion.
"Leader, these are the people we sent out. Little Li, hurry up and tell us the information you brought back.”Jiang Hu said to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li saluted and handed the document in his hand to Jiang Yi. Then, he talked about the news he had recently inquired about.
"Regiment Commander, after my investigation these few days, I have a basic understanding of Marshal Xu's military deployment.”
"At present, Marshal Xu's total military strength is said to be around 6,000.”Xiao Li said.
"Title? Could it be that there's something fishy going on?"
Jiang Yi frowned.
"Guild Leader is wise!"
Little Li complimented Jiang Yi.
"According to my investigation, Marshal Xu's army has a very serious problem of being paid without pay. Although there are 6,000 people, the actual number is about 4,000.
"The main force of his army is located in Fukang County City, close to the strength of two regiments, about 2,500 people. The force in Shili Town only has about 500 people.”
"Other than that, I also bought a map of their defenses from the commander stationed at Ten Mile Town. It's in the document in your hands, Regiment Commander. It clearly outlines the military deployment of Ten Mile Town.”
Xiao Li pointed at the document in Jiang Yi's hand.
"They even dare to sell this!" Jiang Yi was a bit surprised. He didn't expect Marshal Xu's army to have such a big internal problem.
"Of course he dared to sell. I've seen this person before. He's greedy by nature and even bullies men and women in Ten Mile Town. According to Marshal Xu's deployment, there were at least a thousand people in Ten Mile Town, but he directly ate half of the empty salary. As long as he has enough money, I reckon he would even dare to sell Marshal Xu.”Xiao Li said confidently.
"I heard you say that there are only 3,000 people. What about the remaining 1,000 people?”
Jiang Yi looked at the military deployment map in his hand and asked.
"Guild Leader is indeed intelligent.”
Xiao Li started to flatter Jiang Yi again. He was a very clever person who was good at seeking benefits. Otherwise, he would not have been sent by Jiang Hu to gather information. He knew that today was an opportunity to report to Jiang Yi. As long as he was valued by Jiang Yi, he would be promoted and rich in the near future. Joining Lyu Yang some time ago was a good example. After being valued by Jiang Yi, he immediately became a battalion commander.
"Don't be so glib. Continue. You only know these few words of praise. You don't have any standard at all.”
What Little Li did not expect was that he did not receive a smiling face from Jiang Yi. Instead, it was such an icy cold sentence. He knew that he had made Jiang Yi a little unhappy.
Xiao Li laughed awkwardly." Regiment Commander, there were only 500 soldiers stationed in Teng Teng Town. However, for some reason, Marshal Xu, who had been staying in Fukang County, has returned with 500 soldiers. The reason is that Marshal Xu has been feeling unwell recently and wants to go back to Teng Teng Town to recuperate.”
"Is Teng Teng Town Marshal Xu's hometown?”Jiang Yi asked.
"That's right. Marshal Xu's family used to be a big family in Teng Teng Town. His ancestors helped the Qing court suppress some cult uprising and became a small official.”
As Xiao Li spoke, he revealed an envious expression, wondering why there was no ancestor in his family.
As Xiao Li spoke, Jiang Yi remembered what John had said to him.
He said that Marshal Xu had told him to find another treasure, and if he found it, he would have a lot of money. This was what Marshal Xu had said when he ordered weapons from John. His purpose was to show his wealth, so there was no reason to lie.
And as John's big customer, he had even less reason to play Jiang Yi.
Therefore, Marshal Xu was lying. He was probably looking for treasure there.
This was a good opportunity to behead him!
Although Marshal Xu's army was suffering from a severe shortage of pay, they still had 4,000 men. Jiang Yi also had 3,000 men, and they were well-equipped with cannons and machine guns. However, soldiers were made of flesh and blood. He did not want to cause too many casualties and affect the later plans.
Therefore, the decapitation operation was an excellent choice.
Thinking up to here, Jiang Yi immediately said to Jiang Hu,"Tiger, go back to the camp immediately and tell the other three Battalion Commanders that we are going to attack Teng Teng Town tonight, and our primary goal is to remove this nail!”
Jiang Yi's finger pressed down on the center of the defense map.
Ten Mile Town!
In fact, it was a rather difficult operation to attack Teng Teng Town at night. First of all, the distance between the two was not particularly close, and there was a Ten Mile Town in the middle. Moreover, now was not the future. Even in the city, at night, some places were dark, and the roads were difficult to walk on. Therefore, it was difficult to arrive before dawn by relying on the rapid march of manpower. Moreover, even if the soldiers arrived, they might not have the strength to deal with the subsequent battle.
Secondly, there was the common problem of night blindness in this era. Many people had poor night vision at night, and some simply lost their night vision.
However, Jiang Yi had long thought of a solution to these two problems.
First of all, the military truck that Jiang Yi prepared was to deal with the slow speed of the army. Traveling at night was a problem for people, but for trucks, it was as easy as walking on flat ground. The two headlights in front of the truck could completely disperse the darkness and illuminate the road ahead.
As for the problem of night blindness, Jiang Yi had long thought of it. His army had always had the habit of drinking pine needle water and eating animal innards to maintain a good intake of vitamins A, so his army did not have the characteristic of night blindness.
"Understood, Leader!" Jiang Hu saluted Jiang Yi and pulled Little Li out.
"Wait, Tiger!" Jiang Yi called out to Jiang Hu. Looking at Jiang Hu's puzzled expression, he said,"Later, go and find Uncle Tian and give a thousand yuan to this Little Li. I never mistreat people who have made contributions.”
"Understood, Leader!" Jiang Hu shouted. At the same time, he glared at Xiao Li angrily. He hated this person who was good at digging his own grave. He had picked such a person back then.
On the other hand, Xiao Li shouted excitedly,""Thank you for your reward, Leader. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you, until I die.”
1,000 yuan was a huge amount of wealth. He had never seen even 100 yuan in his life, let alone 1,000 yuan.
"Alright, this is what you deserve. As long as you do your job well for me, I won't mistreat you.”
A signature smile hung on Jiang Yi's face again.
At night, Jiang Yi stood in front of all the soldiers and looked at them. He saw their nervousness, fear, and excitement.
This time, it was not like the previous time when they were raiding the bandits. They were going to raid another warlord now, and the battle would be even more intense.
"Everyone, I stand here today and only have one sentence to say!”
Jiang Yi looked down at all the soldiers and used his magic power to spread his voice out, ensuring that every soldier could hear him clearly.
When everyone heard Jiang Yi's words, they could not care less about the emotions in their hearts and raised their heads to look at Jiang Yi one after another.
"Everyone, at this moment, we have no way out. Xu Bao's army is right there, eyeing Chongwen Town like a tiger. If we don't destroy him, he will come to destroy us, take away your fields, humiliate your families, and take away everything you have now.”
Hearing this, everyone became excited.
Jiang Yi treated them extremely well. Every month, their salary was paid on time, never delayed or deducted.
Moreover, they had rice and white flour every day, and they could even eat meat from time to time. Of course, they did not want to go back to the bitter days of hunger.
"No!" Jiang Hu was the first to raise his hand and shout.
Immediately after, the entire army began to boil. They waved their arms and shouted loudly that they were unwilling!
"Then use the guns in your hands to tear the enemy into pieces to show your determination!”
Jiang Yi took out the pistol at his waist and fired three shots into the sky.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
"Let's go! Target! Teng Teng Town!"
