In the face of this upcoming battle between officials and bandits, Xu Bin, who has completed a round of actual combat rotation training, is not worried at all about what those officers and soldiers of the bandit coalition can do with him. However, in order to prevent the official army from causing damage in Baofeng Town, which had finally stabilized, Xu Bin quickly transferred Wang Erscar's regiment out to serve as the main force in the battle against the official army.

The Second Regiment commanded by Li Chengbing was responsible for cooperating with the departure of the officers and soldiers to take Baoxiang City in one fell swoop. At the same time, the expanded guard company was also responsible for guiding the second regiment into the city, and arresting all the military and political officials in Orange City, cleaning up the floating wealth of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and stabilizing the hearts of the people in Orange City.

As for the remaining New Third Regiment, which had only undergone one round of trial training and had the largest number of personnel, it was commanded by Chen Zhengdao, who ensured that the two bases of Training Mountain and Heifeng Village would not be lost. At the same time, it prevents reinforcements sent by the state government to reinforce the battle in Baofeng Town. The corresponding Xu Bin also launched, the first combat readiness mobilization order after the establishment of the Juxiangcheng Villagers' Joint Defense Brigade.

Once the troops of the non-Xu Jiajun enter the boundary of Juxiang City, regardless of whether the other party is an officer or a bandit, the village-level joint defense team must block it and report the situation, waiting for the large force of the Xu Jiajun to come to help.

In the face of the militia grassroots team of more than 1,000 people, once they take action, no matter what happens in the entire Orange City, it will be difficult to escape their monitoring network. This also laid a solid foundation for the next step to take Orange City and clear the bandit cottages in all parts of Orange City.

After all preparations were made, the first regiment of the Independent Brigade, under the command of Wang Erscar, the regiment commander, had arrived at Jiming Mountain at the junction of Juxiang City and Baofeng Town. This is an official road, and if the officers and soldiers who want to enter Baofeng Town, this official road is the only way for them. Arriving here in advance, Wang Erscar quickly found the location of the ambush, and ordered all battalions and companies to start planting explosives on the road according to the pre-arrangement, and at the same time digging trenches in the mountain road.

This is also the first regular battle fought after the expansion of the Xu family's army, and Wang Erscar is very nervous about this. The most uncertain thing for him was that Xu Bin did not interfere in his command for the first time, and all the combat plans were discussed by Wang Ersa with several battalion and company commanders.

If he doesn't fight well, it will be really difficult for Wang Erscar to deal with Xu Bin. After all, he is now the commander of a regiment, and the troops under him are also the regiment with the most veterans. Even the ten mortars of the artillery brigade were pulled over, and if he couldn't take these attacking coalition forces, he really didn't have the face to stay in this position.

For Wang Erscar, he never thought that he would have such a day to command thousands of people to fight. When he attacked Heifeng Village and agreed to Xu Bin's solicitation, he would only ask for a way to survive. But with what Xu Bin said at the beginning, little by little, Wang Erscar, who felt that he was competent for his job at the beginning.

Recently, like a recruit, he has learned the words that used to give him a headache when he saw it. The purpose is to be able to understand the command and combat textbooks for officers compiled by Xu Bin for them, and they don't want to become the general who is incapable of killing the three armies.

Although when he took over this task, Wang Erscar had already conducted a deduction on the sand table with Li Chengbing of the Second Regiment who cooperated with him. His mission this time is to block the coalition forces from entering Baofeng Town, and kill the enemy's Liliang as much as possible.

After the 2nd Regiment captures Orange City, they will join forces to wipe out these patchwork coalition forces in one blow to determine their actual occupation of Orange City.

The strength of the troops is almost one-to-one with the coalition army, and Wang Erscar wants to defeat this coalition force in one fell swoop while ensuring that the other side does not break through the blocking position. It's just that for the first time he took the initiative to attack the official army, Wang Erscar was still a little weak to be honest. After all, people who were born as bandits seem to have a natural fear of officials and soldiers.

However, thinking that Xu Bin ignored others saying that Wang Erscar was the boss and coarse, it was difficult to hold the position of such a main leader, but he ruled out the controversy and advocated him to serve as the main leader. The battalion commanders of the three main battalions in the regiment listened to Wang Erscar's opinions more and sent the three best battalion commanders in the independent brigade to him. It can be said that he has a lot of trust in him, if he can't fight this battle, I'm afraid that Wang Erscar will be embarrassed to give Xu Bin an explanation.

As the Shili of the Xu family army expanded a little bit, it was gradually divided into three factions in the army, one faction was dominated by Wang Ersa and other bandit officers who surrendered to the counter-formation, one faction was dominated by Li Chengbing and the old men of Heifeng Village, and the other faction was dominated by Tian Youliang, who joined later.

On the surface, there is no contradiction between everyone, but when promoting officers, they also prefer to recommend officers from the same background as themselves. Therefore, Wang Erscar served as the head of the main group, and many old subordinates of Heifeng Village still had opinions on this.

In the eyes of those old people in Black Wind Village, Li Chengbing was more qualified than him to serve as the head of this regiment. Therefore, Wang Erscar must use this evenly matched offensive and defensive battle to prove that he has the strength and qualifications to serve as the head of this regiment.

It is clear that the defenders of Orange City have poured out of the nest this time, and the second regiment has the help of the Killing God of the Guard Company, and it is a matter of being able to capture Orange City. This means that Li Chengbing's second regiment's combat exploits are decided, so if he fights too humiliating or loses too much, he will undoubtedly lose color in this battle.

Therefore, when the battalions and companies completed the established combat preparations, Wang Erscar still checked them one by one very seriously. Serious criticism was also made for the trenches that some companies did not dig enough. Because the situation from the early reconnaissance shows that the officers and soldiers of the Linzhou Mansion Security Regiment who attacked Xu's army this time can bring two infantry guns with a longer range than mortars.

If the trenches are dug deep enough, once the opponent's artillery cannot be solved before the battle, then the remaining artillery will do it, and it will be their turn to be uncomfortable. If the opponent's artillery caused heavy casualties, even if Zuihou was victorious, Wang Erscar would not be able to escape the responsibility of a command failure. So he would rather these soldiers sweat a little more than die under the possible shelling because of carelessness.

The training slogan of sweating more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime has been integrated into the bones of the officers and men of the Xu family. Therefore, the company-level officers who had been reprimanded still accepted the criticism with an open mind, personally picked up shovels and hoes, and dug the trenches and anti-artillery holes more tightly to the extent of protecting the soldiers from shelling.

Everything was ready, and the scouts in front of them were constantly transmitting back the marching speed of the officers and soldiers. As for Xu Bin leading the guard company, it was not long after the officers and soldiers were stationed in Orange City, they mixed into Orange City. As soon as the coalition forces that were waiting to assemble in the city left, they attacked. Blockade all the military and political departments in the city, and receive the second regiment that is waiting outside the city to enter the city.

The deputy head of the Linzhou Mansion Security Regiment, who served as the commander-in-chief of the suppression of bandits, looked at the scattered family guards in the barracks in the city, and also knew that these people could only be used as cannon fodder. If they really want to start a war, it is definitely unreliable, and it is very likely that if one is not good, it will cause losses to their regular army.

Therefore, in terms of the battle sequence, the 400 combatable soldiers in Xiangcheng were used as the first series, the 500 regular troops of the security regiment he brought were used as the second series, and the rest of the Jiading guard battalion with a large number of people was used as the third battle sequence. This is also to prevent the attack of these scattered family guard battalions, attacking their defensive counterattack front.

Looking at the number of regular soldiers, the number of guests is close to 1,000, plus these Jiading guard battalions who also hate the Xu family army and take out their old books, the number of soldiers he can command this time has reached nearly 1,500 people. This number can be said to be about the same as the entire Linzhou Prefecture Security Corps. The only difference is that there are hundreds of people in this rabble. But it can be used to capture prisoners, or used as cannon fodder.

After eating the sumptuous breakfast of condolences from the magistrate of Juxiangcheng and a group of squires, the deputy head of the security regiment gave an order, commanded the city defense battalion led by Zhu San, and took the lead in leading 400 officers and soldiers out of Juxiangcheng. Later, the main battalion of one person he brought with him left with his head held high under the deep expectations of all the gentry from the orange city.

As for the Jiading battalion commanded by a company commander of the security regiment brought by Zuihou, he acted as a group of Zuihou troops, escorting the ammunition supplies needed by the troops, and Zuihou left Juxiang City. Watching this army of more than 1,000 people leave, the county magistrate who stood at the head of the city to see the army leave, as well as the local tyrants and gentry of Juxiang City, also secretly imagined in their hearts the scene of the Xu Jiajun being beaten and crying wolf.

It's just that what they don't know is that when their current army leaves the city and fantasizes that the Xu family's army will be wiped out. The leader of this Xu family's army is wearing the clothes of ordinary people, under the protection of two guards. Standing under the city walls, with a cold smile on them!

The officers and men of the guard company who entered the city overnight in advance had already reconnoitred the list of local tyrants and inferior gentry who had contributed the most this time. And they will also pay a heavy price for this contribution, and even many of them are local tyrants and shoddy gentry with evil deeds, who have been destined to become victims of Xu Jiajun's buying of people's hearts.

As the county magistrate and the squire walked down the city wall and announced that the city gate would be closed to prevent the bandits from sneaking up, they looked at the guards on the city wall, which were less than thirty people. After Xu Bin made a few gestures to one of the guard platoon commanders who was mixed in the crowd, he led the rest of the guard company soldiers and began to enter the predetermined attack site.

Once the gunfire rang out at the head of the city, they had to take control of these important places in the city as soon as possible, and receive the second regiment outside the city to enter the city to clear the remnants of the resistance and take over the orange city. These local tyrants and inferior gentry who are still fantasizing about the demise of the Xu family army have no idea that the moment the coalition army leaves the city, it means that the fall of Orange City has entered the countdown!
