Soldiers are fast.

After defeating the imperial army in the fortress, the workers' and peasants' army did not stop at all, except for a part of the defensive fortress, an army of about 200,000 slaughtered the imperial capital.

In other places, there is also a steady stream of new troops coming in.

Of course, there are also some troops responsible for pinning down the enemies in the rest of the fortresses, after all, the imperial capital defense ring is a "circle", not just one point.

That's the benefit of the attacking side.

There are a lot of places to defend on the defending side, because it is not known where the enemy will attack from.

The attacking side, on the other hand, can choose any point.

Of course, there are some "points" that must be occupied, that is, the so-called "important places", which are generally places such as transportation hubs.

The imperial capital is such a point.

However, this time it was not to be captured as a transportation hub, but as the administrative center of the empire, which had to be captured.

The Imperial Army was not fully prepared.

The fall of the fortress was faster than anyone could have imagined, and almost as soon as the news of the loss of the fortress was received, the workers' and peasants' army was already approaching the city.

First of all, guard the exits of the gates to prevent the Imperial army from breaking through.

There were also battles, but the scale was not large, the workers' and peasants' army failed to enter the imperial capital, and the imperial army was unable to break out of the city to counterattack and break through.

And so it went on for a few days.

As the follow-up troops of the Workers' and Peasants' Army arrived one after another, the time for the final general offensive was approaching little by little.

One afternoon.

Seven Nights and Fibrey went to the headquarters of the Workers' and Peasants' Army and met Najehitan and Mayin.

And Chelsea.

"Oh, everyone, it's been a long time!"

Seven nights laughing.

Neither Najehitan nor Chelsea could laugh.

What do you say it's been a long time......

Obviously, Qiye himself suddenly ran away with Fibury, and he didn't care about anything, and the two of them ran to the shrine in the imperial capital, and then they were informed by the red pupils, otherwise they didn't know that Qiye was so bold that a person ran to the enemy's base camp.

Although with the ability of Seven Nights, there will be nothing.

But what if?

In case something happens, what will happen to Jinruicheng? What will happen to the Workers' and Peasants' Army?

After all, Seven Nights is the commander.

Although this commander basically does not do anything, he is handed over to Chelsea politically, and Najehitan and Mayne militarily, and Qiye is only in charge of daily life.

To be honest, even without him, the workers' and peasants' army would still be able to fight the world.

But that's not the point.

The key issue is that as a nominal commander-in-chief, you can do nothing at all, at least you can be a mascot and put it there for people to watch and admire.

And yet he ran.

And he ran to the enemy's base camp.

Now, this guy is really embarrassed to run over and say something like not seeing you for a long time.

"Brother Seven Nights. ”

Compared to them, Ma Yin was very happy.

Dangling his double ponytails, he ran in front of Nanaya, with a bright smile on his face, as dazzling as the sun.

She's a cute little girl.

Speaking of which, the little girl who was only a promise at the beginning has grown up, fifteen years old.

Fifteen years old......

Well, what a snap age.

After all, I'm not under the age of fourteen, maybe tonight......

Well, there will be a fight tomorrow, which will not be said for the time being.

"That's good!"

Nanaya raised his head with a smile and touched the girl's head.

The girl blushed a little.

Although it is said that she is tired (tsundere), she seems to have only been delicate and not proud of Qiye.

Let's not talk about that.

I didn't have time to catch up, so I asked about the situation directly.

"Everything went well. ”

Najehitan replied.

"At present, our army has mobilized about 400,000 troops to besiege the imperial capital from all sides, and tomorrow we can launch a general attack, and the troops will break into the city from four directions in four directions. ”

That's the rough battle plan.

The imperial capital was so large that even if hundreds of thousands of troops poured in and fought against hundreds of thousands of other troops, it could be completely tolerated.

Of course, not all hundreds of thousands of them are engaged in street fighting.

It is estimated that only half of the people are really engaged in street fighting, and the rest are responsible for defending the periphery, one is to prevent the imperial troops in the remaining fortresses from desperately reinforcing them, and the other is to prevent the imperial troops in the imperial capital from breaking through and escaping.

"What about the red pupils?"

After a small introduction, Najeshitan asked.

In this battle, the red pupils and the others also had to assist, and they should take the city gate together, so that the army of the workers' and peasants' army could quickly advance through it.

Moreover, Estes has not been killed yet.

"They are ready inside, and tomorrow they will attack the defenders of the gates on time, and open the gates for you to enter. ”

Seven nights explained.

"As for Estes, I promise that tomorrow she will not be the slightest threat, so rest assured. ”

"Hmm. ”

Najehitan nodded.

Seven Nights' assurances are still trustworthy, at least she hasn't found out that Seven Nights has broken her promise.

And Seven Nights looked at Chelsea again.

"The empire is about to be overthrown, and the talent pool is enough, right?"

This is mainly about the reserves of officials.

It is easy to fight the world, but it is not so simple to govern the world, and if the local officials do not do it well, it will cause dissatisfaction, anger, and finally rebellion.

"The education of the past few years, as well as some conscientious officials of the former empire, are generally sufficient. ”

Chelsea replied.

She knows this kind of thing best, after all, she handles all government affairs, she is responsible for the appointment of officials, and even the logistics of the army are her responsible, to a certain extent, she is the one who holds the power.

Maybe she could become an empress.

But that's for later, and it's hard to say how it will be arranged after that.

Seven Nights won't care anyway.

Ma Yin is not interested in those either, she just wants to overthrow the empire, so that orphans like her will no longer be bullied, and can survive until they grow up.

Moreover, she can be competent to let her lead the army to fight, after all, Qiye has taught her a lot.

However, Seven Nights didn't teach her anything about politics.

"It seems that everything is almost ready, so I won't say anything more, and all in all, you can do it yourself. ”

Seven nights waved their hands.

He looked at Ma Yin again and asked.

"Where's your tent, Mayin? We're staying with you tonight. ”

"I'll take you. ”

Maine nodded to Najehitan and Chelsea.

Then he took Nanaya and Fibre with him, leaving the tent that was the headquarters and walking towards the tent where she was resting.

……

Night.

Tonight, everything was calm.

However, everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm, and after dawn, it is destined to be a river of blood.

It's inevitable.

Unless the emperor and ministers are willing to surrender and let the imperial army lay down their arms, or the workers' and peasants' army abandon the attack.

But this is not possible.

Seven Nights knew, Najehitan knew, Chelsea knew, Mayne knew.

Red pupils, black pupils, and Leonai all know each other.

The Emperor knew, the ministers knew, the upper echelons of the empire knew, and Estes knew.

The soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Army, the soldiers of the Imperial Army, and the common people in the imperial capital also knew about it.

In this decisive battle, either the imperial capital was captured, the empire was overthrown, and a new state was established, or the workers' and peasants' armies were repulsed, the empire continued to rule, and troops were dispatched to exterminate the workers' and peasants' armies.

"Gotta win!"

Outside the tent, Najehitan looked at the moon hanging high in the sky and sighed softly.

For this day, too many people have been sacrificed.

It was not only the sacrifices of the workers and peasants, but also the sacrifices of the empire, the sacrifices of the revolutionary army, the sacrifices of the rest of the rebels, the sacrifices of the common people.

Sacrifice too much, and it's time for it to end.

"What do you want to do after you win?"

Chelsea stepped out of it, carrying two glasses of water, one of which was handed to Najeshitan, and asked in passing.

This question suddenly came to mind.

She is also a person with ideals, which is different from a certain salted fish.

At first, she wanted to be a noblewoman and live a good life, but because she sensed the darkness of the empire, her ideal became to overthrow the empire and establish a new country.

The first one doesn't matter anymore, and the second one has great hope that it can be realized.

But what about after the implementation?

Didn't think about it.

Maybe continue to work for the sake of the new country?

No.

She doesn't like a life that is too tiring, she still wants to live a good life, a good life that is calm and doesn't have many worries.

Najehitan is different.

"I can't think of anything else I can do but dedicate the rest of my life to my new country. ”

"Hmm...... There will always be something I want to do, but if I don't have it now, maybe I will have it tomorrow. ”

"yes. ”

Najehitan nodded.

Eyes shifted, looking in the direction of the imperial capital.

Tomorrow, the day of the decisive battle.
