Chapter Eighty-Five: Do You Dare to Occupy the Capital?

Temporary barracks, makeshift conference rooms.

A blackboard made up of several wooden planks with white lime clearly marked with the names of the various regions and the approximate deployment of the coalition forces.

Even Wang Shuqi, who has never shown up much, was called back by Wang Sirui this time.

I have to admit that the absence of a radio station is really a painful thing for Wang Sirui, who is accustomed to information-based warfare.

"After lunch tomorrow, the whole army will be mobilized, and this time we will completely occupy the capital." At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Sirui did not say any inspirational words, on the contrary, those words had no effect on the generals under him.

Therefore, Wang Sirui went straight to the topic and first stated the goal of this operation.

Then he continued: "Our mission is mainly divided into two parts, I will lead the first brigade to be responsible for the battle in the inner city, and Brigade Commander Wang will lead the second brigade to set up ambushes on the east and south sides of the capital, and all foreign soldiers who leave the city will be annihilated. However, it is important to remember that the range of activity should not exceed thirty miles. ”

Wang Shuqi nodded, signaling understanding.

He had six thousand men in his hands, and it should not be a problem to hold the line of defense on the southeast flank. Moreover, even if the foreign soldiers went out of the city, they were defeated by the first brigade led by Wang Sirui, and their combat effectiveness and will to fight must have been very low.

Therefore, Wang Shuqi's task is not difficult, and even in the whole link, it is easy in the early stage. But in the later stages, it's hard to say who will be more relaxed.

"Old horse!" Wang Sirui shouted.

"Here!" Ma Sanru stood up and responded.

"You lead a battalion of soldiers, disguised as a grain merchant, enter the capital before the city gate closes tomorrow, and immediately launch an attack on Xibianmen after dark, if you can quietly control Xibianmen, it is best to wait for you to control Xibianmen, make the agreed code, and then I will lead my troops into the city." Wang Sirui commanded.

They have no siege equipment, no artillery, and the walls of Beijing are very tall, although Wang Sirui is not short of people, but if he attacks hard, the casualties will be very large.

So at present, it can only take this way to attack the city, and as for why Xibianmen was chosen, this is not unfounded. Because they had been scouting the capital for several months, only Xibianmen had the least number of troops in the entire west, and there were few troops defending at night.

Moreover, in the early stage, Ma Sanru had also disguised himself as a businessman and entered the capital several times, and he also had some understanding with the defenders on the side of Xibianmen, at least the two sides would have some impressions when they met.

"After entering the city, a regiment attacks all around the city wall, occupying the entire outer city wall as quickly as possible, only a small number of troops need to be deployed in the middle of the city wall, and each tower is equipped with a company of troops to ensure that the city gate will not change hands. Wu Yang, the head of the regiment, is in charge. Wang Sirui continued to arrange.

"Yes! Travel! Guaranteed completion of the task. Wu Yang stood up and saluted and promised.

"I am personally responsible for the second regiment, and after entering the city, we will quickly clean up the enemy troops in the city, and strive to occupy the outer city before dawn." Wang Sirui said unceremoniously.

The outer city was not the focus of the coalition's defense, mainly because the outer city was inhabited by civilians, and there was no need for foreigners to send heavy troops to guard it.

And in the entire outer city, the most difficult place to hit should be the various city gates.

However, there may be more emergencies in the street battles in the city, so Wang Sirui finally decided that he would be personally responsible for the operations in the city.

After ordering the war arrangements, Wang Sirui looked at everyone thoughtfully, and after a long time, he spoke: "Brothers, what kind of life will we live in the future?" It's all up to this battle.

defeated, or unable to quickly occupy the capital and defeat the enemy. Then we are likely to lose our lives because of this, and even if we can survive, we can only live a life in chaos for the rest of our lives.

But if you win, I can assure you that wherever you go, you will be greeted with applause. Even, in your hometown, it is even possible to erect a monument to you to praise your merits.

This war is not only for the country, but also for ourselves. From the beginning, you people have been with me, so at the end of the day, I hope that you people will still be with me. ”

"My lord, please rest assured, even if I fight for my life, I will guarantee to complete the task." Wu Yang preemptively set up a military order, because the entire army, except for Wang Sirui, was a heavy burden on Wu Yang's shoulders.

As for the vague meaning of Wang Sirui's words, no one here guessed it, they just thought that as long as they won this battle, they would be rewarded by the imperial court, and who of them was not from a bitter background?

If you can get a reward from the imperial court, you will definitely be greeted by lights and lights when you go home. Just thinking about that scene, I felt a faint excitement in my heart.

Subsequently, Wang Sirui arranged some details of things, and sometimes, details determine success or failure.

In the past two months, Wang Sirui has also instilled in them a lot of ideas about modern warfare, as for what they can do on the battlefield, this Wang Sirui does not know, so he can only resign himself to fate.

Anyway, what should be done and what should not be done, Wang Sirui has done it all, whether it succeeds or not, in the end, it is not what he says.

The only thing that made Wang Sirui a little dissatisfied was that the time left for him was too short.

The next morning, the whole camp was quiet, and there was a difference between the world and the past.

In the past, there would always be a continuous sound of drills in the camp, but today there is not even a group of soldiers in the camp except for the soldiers standing guard.

In just one corner, more than a hundred carts were loaded with food, two hundred of whom hid their weapons in them, and the remaining two hundred were armed with weapons of all kinds. The only thing that is the same is that these people have all changed into a set of ordinary people's clothes.

After the team was reorganized, after receiving Wang Sirui's order, Ma Sanru waved his hand, and the carriage at the front began to start slowly, and hundreds of carriages followed closely behind.

As a pioneer battalion, they had to set off early in the morning, after all, they had to take care of hundreds of carts, and the speed of the march was naturally not as fast as that of the infantry.

Although with the relocation of the camp many times, their camp is only less than thirty miles away from the capital, but for the sake of fighting at night, Ma Sanru could not let the troops march too fast.

Lunch was a little earlier, around eleven o'clock.

After lunch, the soldiers lined up and turned back to the cooking class, each received three days' worth of dry rations, and then lined up to the ammunition depot to receive ammunition. After everyone was done, it was almost half past twelve, and Wang Sirui directly ordered the troops to be deployed.
