Chapter 33: My Time

The defenders in the city were in a rout, and there were abandoned guns and ammunition, military uniforms and military goods everywhere, and a large number of routed soldiers rushed in the direction of Xicheng, taking advantage of the fact that the coalition forces had not yet captured the gate of Xicheng, intending to flee from there to escape for their lives.

And the troops who originally guarded Xicheng have long since disappeared.

The Empress Dowager Cixi, who was still firmly in control, finally panicked at this moment, and in the early morning of the 15th, she hurriedly fled Xi'an with Emperor Guangxu in embarrassment.

At the same time, the morale of the coalition forces reached its peak, and often a squad of soldiers dared to chase hundreds or thousands of routs, and what was even more hateful was that these routs did not even have the courage to turn around and fire a shot.

"Quick, dig this piece out!" Wang Sirui stretched out his hand and pointed, and the two soldiers quickly ran to the place where Wang Sirui pointed with tools.

Although they didn't know what Wang Sirui was going to do, it did not prevent them from obeying Wang Sirui's orders. Because of some previous events, Wang Sirui's performance has completely subdued them, and at this moment, everyone is convinced that Wang Sirui can lead them to live. (Please allow me to shamelessly put on the aura of the king that symbolizes the aura of the protagonist.) )

Soon, the two soldiers dug out a green brick from the wall, and through a large gap in the brick, they could clearly see the situation in the alley.

Immediately afterward, several soldiers carried several sacks full of dirt and placed them under the entrance of the cave according to Wang Sirui's instructions.

A position like this, but if it meets the requirements, Wang Sirui has led people to arrange it, regardless of whether it can be used for the time being, in short, Wang Sirui will never let go of any opportunity.

In one day and one night, Wang Sirui did more than 30 such positions.

When the last position was completed, the corners of Wang Sirui's mouth rose slightly, revealing an extremely treacherous smile.

"Company Commander Wu, take your company and ambush in the buildings on both sides, and the sound of machine gun gunfire is an order." Wang Sirui commanded Wu Zixuan.

"Yes, my lord, as long as the foreign devils come, I am sure that they will not come back." Wu Zixuan confidently patted his chest and abdomen and reassured.

"Wu Yang, Tian Zhichao, the two of you lead your company to the two alleys behind to set up defenses, and you must ensure that there are no enemies behind us." Wang Sirui continued to command.

"Yes, sir!" The two said in unison.

"Uncle Wang, take your company, wander around, and when you encounter a small group of enemies, directly destroy them. As long as our main forces move, even if your troops are fighting, they must move with us. Wang Sirui continued to command the combat mission.

"No problem."

"I'll take a company to attract the enemy, let's give the coalition forces a ruthless one, and if you encounter Japanese weapons and ammunition, pick them up as much as possible." Wang Sirui finally said his task.

However, in order to cheer up the soldiers under his command, Wang Sirui continued: "Now that the defenders in the city have collapsed, and there is not even a decent resistance, it is estimated that our battalion is the only organized force." I don't care what you thought before. Now, as long as you are still a little bloody, and you still have a little idea of wanting to live a good life, you have to stand up this time.

I can assure you that as long as we finish this battle, each of you will be paid several times, and like the four of you, a promotion to a pipe band is considered a demotion to a higher level. ”

Wang Sirui's words made the three company commanders (sentry officers) under his command except Wang Shuqi excited, who doesn't want to get rich? But promotion is the last word, as long as there is an official, isn't it simple to get rich?

Listen to this, as long as this battle is over, a promotion to a pipe band can be regarded as a demotion. This just sounds exciting, and in order to make a good money in the future, you must do it well.

"My lord, even if we give up this life, we will definitely leave a deep memory for foreigners." Wu Zixuan responded excitedly.

In fact, Wu Zixuan joined the Boxer Rebellion at that time to become an official, and he thought that someone under his command had a gun, and after arriving in the Boxer Rebellion, he could easily command hundreds of people to fight.

But who knew that after he went, people didn't take Wu Zixuan seriously at all, not only did they not give Wu Zixuan any officials, but they also wanted to get rid of the shotguns in their hands.

In this way, Wu Zixuan was naturally not happy.

As for the Boxers' boast that as long as they join the Boxers, they will be invulnerable, Wu Zixuan muttered in his heart at the time, believing that you are the big pen.

What do you say to a person who plays with guns all year round that he is invulnerable, and really thinks that everyone in the world is a three-year-old child?

And since joining Wang Sirui's troops, although Wang Sirui has consciously cultivated an opponent for him, Wu Zixuan's own wish has also come true.

Wang Sirui himself is just a pipe band, which gives Wu Zihao a sentry officer, and there are nearly 100 people under his hands, what is there not to be satisfied with?

And Wu Zixuan's wish is to be a general, and now that he finally has a head, what reason is there not to work hard? Moreover, Wang Sirui is the pipe band of the regular army, which is recognized by the imperial court.

As for deep memories, I naturally learned from Wang Sirui. When Wang Sirui was in the camp, he often told them some strange sentences, and after a long time, everyone naturally learned it.

"Okay, let's not joke about it, I'll remind you one last time, from now on, you must be vigilant enough at all times, war is not child's play, as long as you have the slightest carelessness, you may lose your life. Finally, make sure that your respective soldiers' contact lists are complete, and then hand them over to me. Wang Sirui finally reminded.

The statistical address book is to solve the last concerns of these soldiers, in the first two operations, this measure has played a very good effect, not to mention how much combat effectiveness has been added to the troops, at least when fighting, the soldiers are no longer as afraid of death as before.

Of course, the fundamental reason for the increase in morale was that after returning to the capital, Wang Sirui entrusted a large firm in front of everyone to send 100 taels of silver to the family of each fallen soldier according to the address in the list of the dead, as well as a letter of condolence written by himself.

Moreover, several wounded soldiers followed the caravan to the homes of the fallen soldiers to witness the moment. As for whether the money was really sent out, whether it was really handed over to the families of the fallen soldiers, no one knows this, but everyone believes that the money will definitely go to their families.

This is also one of the reasons why the soldiers are now obedient to Wang Sirui's words.

'My time is coming, foreign devils, are you ready? ’

Wang Sirui muttered silently in his heart.

Fighting foreigners is an unshirkable responsibility on Wang Sirui's shoulders, and at the same time, Wang Sirui also shoulders another missionary responsibility on his shoulders, that is, to snatch more wealth from foreigners.

Of course, it is not realistic to snatch all of them from the hands of foreigners, and the only thing Wang Sirui can do is to snatch away the wealth as much as possible before the foreigners make a move, so that all the foreigners will be in the air.
