Become a feudal king from today - #944 - Chapter 956 Night Attack
“bass!”
After the gunpowder twister burned out, the steel pipe made a muffled sound and shook violently. ReadМ
A ray of red light burst out from the steel pipe and flew into the sky diagonally above. Then the red light gradually turned into white light.
This huge ball of white light was like the sun at noon, falling slowly like a feather, illuminating an area nearly one mile in diameter on the distant sea surface as if it were daytime.
Gong Ying was stunned, and Ma Qian was stunned.
The soldiers who were joining in the fun on the shore were even more stunned.
There are still many indigenous people living in the villages near the port of Morse.
The strange vision of heaven and earth made many people kneel down and kowtow to the bright place.
Some people were so frightened that they thought the sun had fallen from the sky.
“This is a flare!” Gong Ying and Ma Qian looked at each other on the coast.
They immediately realized the value of flares.
With this thing, they will no longer be afraid of enemy night attacks.
Enemies who attack them at night will be exposed to the light of flares and shot with precision.
And if they launch a night attack, flares can provide them with vision.
It’s like fighting in the daytime.
The most important thing is that if the opponent has never seen the flare, he will definitely be frightened and lose the opportunity.
This was the tactic he thought of during the day.
“Everyone go back and rest. We will send troops to Queensland tomorrow.” Gong Ying said to the generals after the flares burned out and the world became dark again.
Now, he couldn’t wait to see his enemy’s shocked expression.
The next day.
The fleet escorted the troopship from Morz.
After a day’s sailing, the soldiers were unloaded northeast of Queensland.
In the next two days, the troop transport ship made another trip. It took two days to send all 24,000 marines to the land of Queensland Territory.
Gong Ying and Ma Qian arrived with a group of marines.
These two days were enough for them to grasp Queensland’s defense situation.
Compared to Holland, Queensland’s population is slightly larger, but it is only about 120,000 people.
Now the British had dug a trench outside Queensland, and the trench was crowded with people.
However, they soon discovered each other’s weakness.
Although there seemed to be a lot of Britons in the trenches.
But there were less than 8,000 people actually equipped with muskets.
And some of them are flintlock guns.
“Let the soldiers have a good rest, and we will completely capture Queensland tonight.” When all the marines arrived, Gong Ying gave the order.
Ma Qian said yes, turned and left.
now.
In Queensland City, a pair of eyes were also watching the movements of the Marine Corps.
He is none other than Captain Habby of the British Army stationed in Queensland.
He frowned when he saw the Dasong soldiers uniformly wearing green military uniforms and carrying muskets on their backs.
To him, he had only seen such a military appearance in the West.
It really surprised him that an indigenous country in the East could build such an army.
However, after being surprised, he fell into deep worry.
He couldn’t help but ask himself: How long can his thousand British regular troops and four thousand militiamen hold out?
Of course, he also followed Oliver’s orders and mobilized Queensland prisoners and citizens on a large scale to participate in the war.
Now, the only hope is that the other side sees their determination to defend Queensland and retreats.
“Come on, come on, let us see what you are capable of. You are really crazy to be enemies with Britain. Even if you capture this place, it will be temporary. We will eventually tear you apart.” Ha. Bi said through gritted teeth.
Immediately, he continued to observe the Dasong army.
This army has not made any movements since the first day of landing.
Today, a large number of soldiers have arrived, but it seems that they still haven’t done anything.
Although he was confused, he couldn’t figure out what the other party wanted to do.
This can only make the soldiers in the trenches more vigilant.
Soon, it was evening.
The color of the entire grassland dimmed, and then it was swallowed up by thick darkness.
Just then, the Marines walked out of the camp.
According to the battle plan, they arrived at the predetermined position and began to crawl on the grass towards the British trench.
The grass on the grassland was about thirty centimeters, which could cover the bodies of the soldiers.
The soft grass allowed them to make almost no sound as they moved.
As they drew nearer to the trenches of Britain.
Occasionally they can see some light, like fireflies.
This is a British soldier smoking.
Naturally, they would not have thought that Dasong’s army would launch a night attack.
The reason is simple. In the case of night attacks, darkness will greatly reduce the accuracy of muskets.
Rushing into a trench makes it easier to get into hand-to-hand combat.
With the number of prisoners and townspeople they organized, the other party might not be able to take advantage.
So for Dasong’s army, a night attack was a stupid idea.
For this reason, some British soldiers smoked cigarettes in the trench while on duty.
“Fifty meters…forty meters, thirty meters.”
While the British soldiers were unaware, the Marines continued to approach the trench.
When the distance between the two sides was about thirty meters, they stopped proceeding and pressed their bodies tightly to the ground while taking off the grenades from their waists.
Some soldiers pointed their guns in the direction of the trench.
After all the forwards responsible for the attack are in place, the messengers of each team send back the message.
At this time, Gong Ying gave the order to attack.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers took out the flare tubes from the box and pointed them at the British trenches.
With a “swoosh”, a flare flew out, rose rapidly, and flew over the trench.
Then the red dot burned and immediately turned into a ball of white light, dragging a white tail and slowly falling.
In an instant.
The trench was illuminated as bright as day, and all the British in the trench raised their heads.
They looked at the dazzling ball of light in the sky, and their minds were blank.
“God, what the hell is going on?” An old British soldier with a cigarette in his mouth stared with his eyes wide open.
Habby also rushed out of the house. He was about to rest when he suddenly found that it was bright outside the window.
It was like the moment when lightning appeared, but the lightning was only a moment, but the light continued.
“What the hell is this?” Habby was also shocked.
If he hadn’t been well educated, he would really think it was an angel descending to earth.
But obviously not everyone is like him.
Many people in the trench immediately prayed, they thought it was an angel coming to save them. Help them defeat the demons of the East. But at this moment, someone suddenly felt something fall into the trench. Someone picked it up and suddenly smelled a burning smell. Before he could react, the thing in his hand suddenly exploded. “Boom…” For a moment, flames rose in the entire British trench.
