There are many official roads near the capital, and there are official roads everywhere in all directions.

As the ruling center of the country, all the official roads in the country eventually gather here, and even many official roads will converge in the middle of the road, and then use the same road in a certain section, so as to save the cost of building the official road.

For some particularly important official roads, they are mainly built according to local conditions, and in the areas where stone is produced, a stone road about one zhang wide is built with local stones.

In some areas where no stone is produced, the main way to smooth the road surface is to tamp the roadbed.

Such roads are usually dusty, but they do not have much impact on the carriages, but when it rains, the official roads are even more difficult to walk than some side roads.

Because it is the capital, all the official roads outside the capital are built with bluestone, but these roads are not many, and only some of them are built.

The bluestone official road completely covered up the whereabouts of the group of 'ghosts', and when they arrived at the dirt road, a large number of routs also chose the small road instead of going to the official road, because it was easy to be caught up by the coalition forces behind.

In addition, Wang Sirui deliberately arranged dozens of people to walk irregularly behind, making a trace of a large number of routs passing by.

Because Wang Sirui and their existence will be known to foreigners sooner or later, and as long as foreigners are not allowed to see the traces of a large number of carriages passing by, then it is equivalent to cutting off the foreigners' intention to find them through the traces.

Obviously, this time Wang Sirui did a good job, cutting off the traces of foreigners looking for him.

Besides, all the people who saw Wang Sirui and their team along the way, most of them were routs who left the capital, or people who fled, they had already fled all the way to the west, or other places, so they would stay and wait to be captured by foreigners?

As for some local villagers, it rains so hard that only fools will go to the side of the official road to see the scenery.

In later generations, the proximity of the village to the road would bring great benefits to the village. However, in this era, there are basically no villages on both sides of the official road, and only some small towns or cities will appear on the official road.

Gaisley rejected the herald's proposal, and now that the Boxers in the city were a little unable to control it, how could they have the extra troops to capture the nearby villagers?

Besides, who can guarantee that those 'ghosts' won't be watching from the sidelines? Once there are fewer people who go out by themselves, I am afraid that they will be eaten by the other party again, but if there are more people who go out, it will inevitably affect the tasks in the city.

In short, this incident was a headache for Gaisley.

Of course, Gaisley was not the only one who had a headache, but also the Japanese and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Wadsey.

Since the appearance of this ghost force, they have brought more than 500 Russian troops, more than 700 Japanese baggage teams, more than 300 people in the city, and more than 500 British troops to the coalition army, a total of more than 2,000 people.

This is already one-twenty-fifth of the total strength of the coalition army, and Wadsey can't even imagine what awaits the coalition if this ghost force is allowed to continue to be so unscrupulously active.

"Clean up the Boxers in the city as soon as possible, be sure to completely control the entire capital within a week, and then, negotiate with their capital, what we want, we can only get it at the negotiation table." At the Supreme Council of Coalition Commanders, Wadsey made this decision after much thought.

As a politician. General, Wadsey knew exactly how to get what they wanted.

"We've lost so many troops and supplies, should we just let them go?" Nicola. Lian Kovich asked rhetorically with some dissatisfaction.

"Rather than entanglement with a mysterious 'ghost army', it is better to leave it alone for the time being, and then quickly occupy the entire capital, so as to blackmail their capital and force them to hand over this ghost army to them to dispose of. We have better options to achieve all our goals, so why bother with the near future? Wadsey explained.

The commanders of various countries also nodded their heads in support of Wadsey's proposal, and went to fight them, not to mention whether they could be found or not, and even if they did, would they be able to eliminate them in a short time?

Or is it possible for them to survive in a short period of time without being wiped out by the enemy?

If a large number of troops are sent out of the city to search, what about the war in the city?

"Of course, we can't just let them go, and since they dare to resist us in the city, then we should be ready to accept all punishments. Next, we can strangle anyone we think is intent to attack, and we can search and even burn down all the houses and buildings that are thought to contain Boxer members. In fact, Wadsy said, this was also done to exert more pressure on the Qing court.

"It can be done, but as civilized people, we can't go too far, and I suggest that we set a deadline after which we must stop all senseless killing. Otherwise, it will have incalculable consequences for us, and it will make it impossible for us to stay here. Gaisley suggested.

Proper killing will be beneficial to their interests in the future, but the endless killing will make them unable to stay here for even a day, because it will make all the people hate them, and even risk their lives to resist them.

In the end, the meeting reached an agreement, and the countries agreed that for the next three days, they could carry out all the actions of the people who did not belong to the houses of the other countries in their respective defense zones, and as for crossing the defense zones of the other countries, they must obtain permission from the other side and abide by the rules of the other side, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of the unity within the coalition forces.

Although the existence of Wang Sirui has not changed the current historical trend, the three-day slaughter in the capital. The killing is still imminent, but at least it has changed some of the historical trends that are now on.

Originally, after the coalition army occupied the capital, it began to divide its troops to the south, at least now the coalition army did not plan to divide the troops to the south, but planned to negotiate with the Qing court after occupying the capital.

At the same time, in the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away from the capital, more than 200 veterans were teaching the recruits how to use their firearms and some simple tactical uses.

Even some of the wounded soldiers were very actively involved in this pre-war training activity, although they could not teach those soldiers how to master those life-saving skills, but they could explain some battlefield experience to them, so as to prevent them from being injured for the same reason.

And with these veterans supporting here, Wang Sirui can also be very relieved to hand over these troops to them.

At least as far as it is reflected, this force is absolutely loyal to itself.

In the south, there is a new army that only knows Yuan Gongbao but does not know that there is a court, and similarly, there is such a force in the capital that only knows Wang Sirui but does not know that there is a court, and over time, the combat effectiveness of this army will definitely be stronger than Yuan Gongbao's new army.
