Chapter 1: On the Escape

The sun was scorching, the sun was scorching, and the beads of sweat on his forehead couldn't stop sliding down, and his entire back was wet with sweat.

But even so, the people in the team still didn't dare to stop and rest for a while, so they could only continue to move forward with the hot sun above their heads.

"Lord Guan, the brothers have been running for most of the day, do you think you can rest for a while? Let the brethren also take a breather? A veteran fritters raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and walked up to a young man who looked like a pipe belt and persuaded him.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour, and we'll continue on our way later!" Wang Sirui nodded, he didn't have much time to rest, but now in this situation, he had to stop and rest. In the capital in mid-August, the temperature was 356 degrees, and many people fell to the ground due to heat stroke along the way.

Wang Sirui turned his head and looked at the team behind him, feeling a little heavy. A team of 400 people, it has only been ten days since it was fully calculated, and now there are only about 100 people left.

Those who are dead are all obedient and sensible good soldiers, as long as Wang Sirui gives an order, they will definitely rush up regardless of the danger to their lives.

And the living, most of them are old fritters, who only instigate the recruits to rush forward when they fight, while they themselves hide behind to see the situation.

If the battle situation is slightly in their favor, they will rush forward, otherwise they will definitely be the first to escape.

However, Wang Sirui is not in the mood to worry about these things now, and until now, Wang Sirui has not been able to slow down.

crossed over, and he actually traveled to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the stall he crossed back from happened to be the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

is so good that he can't die, Wang Sirui's identity is also very embarrassing to him. The newly formed patrol battalion is in charge of the band, and his battalion has only more than 400 people. What's worse is that this battalion has only been established for less than three months.

Although 'Wang Sirui' has no vices, he is even very well received by the officers and soldiers. But I have to admit that 'Wang Sirui' is just a person with no real blood, but no real material.

The patrol battalion was established for three months, and although the time was not long, it was not short, and the entire patrol battalion was loosened inside and tight on the outside by 'Wang Sirui'.

And in order to be able to make 'war exploits', it is even more unscrupulous.

Of course, there is one more point that needs to be reminded.

The pipe belt is equivalent to the battalion commander of later generations, and the person who can sit in this position must not be a young and promising little guy.

But here in 'Wang Sirui', it is a special case.

Relying on the operation of the family, 'Wang Sirui' bribed a certain senior member of the military department, so that 'Wang Sirui', who had no fame, became a new pipe band.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, although 'Wang Sirui' has become a pipe band, but the court is at the time of employing people, but there is no extra money in his hands.

As a result, the Wang family had no choice but to set up a battalion of people for 'Wang Sirui' out of their own pockets.

It may seem like everything is going in a good direction, but it's not. After hearing the news that the coalition forces were about to fight, the stupid 'Wang Sirui' actually ran to Shangguan and took the initiative to ask for battle.

And Shangguan, who was preparing to escape, wished that someone would take the initiative to make such a request.

So, Shangguan gave 'Wang Sirui' 500 taels of silver on the spot as a reward, and promised to help him at least be promoted to the position of commander after this battle.

In this way, without any information about the enemy's situation, nor any information about his own troops, 'Wang Sirui' distributed five hundred taels of silver to his subordinates, and then rushed to the front line with his troops.

As a result, when they arrived at the front line, they found that there were basically no troops resisting, and it was even difficult to see the shadow of the troops.

The Eight-Nation Coalition is not so much fighting a war as it is a sightseeing, and even the opportunity to fire guns along the way is rare.

Just a face-to-face, half of the more than 400 people of 'Wang Sirui' were reimbursed, and 'Wang Sirui' suddenly realized that he hurriedly ran back with the rest of his men.

Along the way, the scorching sun was shining, coupled with the sharp drop in morale, fell down from heat stroke, and escaped halfway, just ran to the vicinity of Anding, and the troops of 'Wang Sirui' lost about three-quarters.

On the way to escape, even 'Wang Sirui' himself suffered from heat stroke due to the hot weather, but at the moment of heat stroke, Wang Sirui from the 21st century just crossed over to him, which covered up the current situation of 'Wang Sirui' heat stroke.

Looking at the long sword in his hand, Wang Sirui could only shake his head helplessly, with such a weapon, how could a unit without any training go to war with the coalition army?

With such a unit, no matter how much you go, it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth. According to Wang Sirui's understanding, the situation of many troops at present is similar to theirs, or even inferior to them.

'Bang Bang~~~~'

Suddenly there was a gunshot behind them, indicating that the coalition forces were not far from them.

The team that was still lying on the ground just now was full of blood and resurrected in an instant, and their eyes were full of horror, for fear that the coalition forces behind would catch up.

They would rather die on the way to escape than fall under the guns of the coalition forces. More than 200 people disappeared in one face, which was really terrifying for these Qing Dynasty people who knew nothing about the outside world.

Running has become the only goal in their hearts, no matter what, live first.

Although you leave the large army, you have a better chance of escaping and surviving alone. But these people are still somewhat reluctant to Wang Sirui.

At the very least, Wang Sirui will not deduct their military salaries, although the figures on the books are not as high as those of other troops, but the actual amount received is twice as high as theirs.

Therefore, they will not run away without permission unless they have to.

Can't you run if you can't beat it? At least, that's what most people think.

The sound of gunfire broke the calm sky, and chaos began to rise in the ranks. But Wang Sirui didn't make the slightest move, and he had no intention of running away at all.

"Lord Guan, the foreigners are coming, let's run quickly, there are still a lot of troops in the capital, as long as we get to the capital, we will be safe." An old fritter said a little anxiously, if Wang Sirui hadn't treated the brothers well on weekdays, I'm afraid they would have run away by now, and who would care about the lives of others at this critical juncture of escaping? Even if this person is his own superior.

Wang Sirui glanced at the remaining 100 or so people, although they were not old, weak, sick and disabled, but they were all thin and weak, maybe they would serve for a few months with good food and drink, and they would look strong and strong on the surface.

But now, this group of people really doesn't look like they can fight.

The capital can't be defended, not only can't it be defended, but once they enter the capital, they can only continue to flee for their lives. Can run around, when is the head?

Although Wang Sirui is no longer the Wang Sirui before, Wang Sirui is still a good patriotic young man in his heart.

For the time being, don't care whether the current Qing Dynasty is worth your life, at least, you can help one by one, if you only care about blindly fleeing for your life, it is the people of the world who will suffer in the end.

Why did Wang Sirui cross? In fact, the reason for Wang Sirui's crossing is because deep in his heart, he has a strong patriotic feeling.

In the distant frontier, enemy forces invaded our country, and Wang Sirui led his next company of soldiers to engage in a fierce confrontation with the other party.

Although the other party was forced to withdraw in the end, after withdrawing, it stumbled Wang Sirui, and the sniper shot Wang Sirui in the heart, and then there was this scene in front of him.

"Run? Where to run? Wang Sirui asked rhetorically.

Now, he no longer plans to continue to escape, and even Wang Sirui already has a comprehensive plan in his mind.

Although the final effect is not yet known, at least we can't just be idle, let alone let the elders of the 'family' down.

"Run to the capital, there are hundreds of thousands of troops there, and foreigners are helpless even if they arrive in the capital." A group of old fritters said one after another.

In their opinion, the capital has tall city walls, as long as the city gate is closed, let alone foreigners, even a fly may not be able to fly over. Therefore, it is safer to run anywhere than to run to the capital at the moment.

"Running to the capital? That will only make us die a little faster. Wang Sirui sneered, although he wanted to reprimand these old fritters, but this was not the time, he still needed these people to follow.

"Although the strength of the foreigners is not as good as ours, what is their combat effectiveness? Everyone has seen this, do you really think that these weapons of ours can fight against foreigners?

And I'm sure in less than a day, the people above will be running for their lives. And when we return to the capital, we can only be wiped out by foreigners. ”

Wang Sirui's words made everyone's morale plummet, although they were very reluctant to believe it, but what Wang Sirui said seemed to be reasonable.

Their team of 400 men reimbursed more than 200 people for just one charge, and the foreigners did not suffer a single casualty.

Although there are a lot of troops in the capital, it seems that they can only be treated to death.

Listening to Wang Sirui say this, it seems that the capital is the most dangerous place. But if they don't go to the capital, where can they go?

"Master Pipe, what should we do? You can't just wait here to die, can you? ”

"It's not enough to die, I have a way to give the foreigners a hard beat, and it can also make us get out of the way, but I don't know if you have the courage to join me?" Wang Sirui smiled, looking like he was winning.

"This ......" heard that they were going to fight with foreigners, many people showed hesitation, although they didn't have much contact with foreigners, but they were really scared, if it was possible, no one wanted to fight with foreigners anymore.

seemed to see everyone's hesitant expressions, Wang Sirui didn't mean to embarrass them, but smiled and said frankly, "What is the character of my Wang?" Everyone knows this, and if you are willing to follow me, let's leave some good memories for foreign devils together. If you don't want to do it, I won't embarrass you, take off this garment and pretend to be a common person to flee. But I would like to give you a suggestion, you can go to the south or north, and don't go to the capital. ”
