The Rise of the European Emperor

The sky's "color" is getting brighter and brighter, but at this time, it is the time when people are the most sleepy. . For more latest chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨XS.сОМ. Although there was already light, the British camp was still quiet, with 500 infantrymen and more than 3,000 strong people sleeping.

Coster's messenger came to the fence and brought not only the order to light the fire, but also a few lit matches. It's too dangerous to have these Demomen set fire outside the fence. Because, the sound of flint fire may alarm the people inside.

Therefore, Coster found a hidden place to light a fire at a temporary station two kilometers away, and lit a few arquebuses for the messenger to lead over.

The messenger distributed 5 lit arquebuses to the 5 Demomen. Then, turned around and returned to the team. A few Demomen started blowing the matchstick with their mouths to make it burn more vigorously. One of them's match had been extinguished, so he and his companions borrowed fire and relit their match.

It was already half-bright now, and the sparks of the match were not so obvious as they were in the dark night. Several people squatted outside the fence of the British army camp and blew the matchlock, but no one noticed.

After making sure that the match was fully burned, the five people lined up and came to the fuse of the fire 'powder' barrel that they had buried...

In order to ensure sufficient width for the cavalry to rush into the camp, Coster brought five barrels of gunpowder, divided them into five, and buried them under the wooden fence. And the fuses they use are generally long, so that they can explode as synchronously as possible...

When they were ready, the five people who were lined up squatted down one after another, staring solemnly at the fuse on the ground. The leading demolition captain, John, counted down in a low voice:

"Wang..."

"threw up……"

"Sri..."

"Fair Al..."

After the captain finished counting, the five Demomen simultaneously pressed down the match and ignited the fuse on the ground...

"Run!"

After John finished speaking, he turned his head and ran without any hesitation. As a Demoman, he is well aware of the danger level of this matter. If you run slowly, you may be hit by the debris generated by the explosion, and you will be killed or injured.

Seeing the boss's behavior, the other members also rushed to the rear together without any hesitation...

After a while, the fuse burned, entered the soil, and ignited the fire 'powder' barrel buried in the soil...

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-"

Five consecutive loud noises came,

The ground of the entire British camp trembled. Many British soldiers and civilians jumped up from the 'bed' in fright...

The power of the five fire 'powder' barrels is indeed extraordinary. After the explosion, the nearby wooden fence was blown away. Among them, some wooden fence pickets flew up and smashed into the tents in the British army camp, directly injuring people. In the area where the fire 'powder' barrels were originally buried, the wooden fences are all gone...

At the same time, one kilometer away, after the 900-horse bandit exploded again, Qi Qi took his hands away from the horse's ears...

Before the explosion, Coster knew there would be a loud bang. In order to prevent the horses from being frightened, Coster ordered all the horse thieves to cover their ears with their hands to prevent the horses from being frightened. As for the horse bandits themselves, just take out a piece of rag and put it in your ear...

Seeing that the explosion passed, Coster and his horse bandits took away their hands covering the ears of the war horse, and threw away the rags in their ears at the same time. In addition, the foot covers of the war horse and the cloth strips that bind the horse's mouth have also been removed...

Then, everyone held the wooden plank and rushed forward...

A distance of one kilometer is not far for the cavalry. Even if they are jogging, the horses will soon arrive at the explosion site...

At this point, the wooden fence in this section disappeared, but the wooden pickets in the trench remained. So, under the command of Coster, the horse bandits threw the planks into the ditch one after another, filling in a road...

Seeing the road appear, Coster 'pulled' his saber and ordered loudly:

"Brothers, follow me!" Then, he took the lead, rode his horse into the British camp, and went straight to the place where the food and grass were piled up...

At this time, the British army camp was still in 'chaos' and 'chaos'...

The 500 regular army spearmen were not 'chaotic'. After a brief panic and 'chaos', they were organized by their respective officers and tried to go to the explosion site to check the situation.

However, they are not "chaotic", it does not mean that the people are not "chaotic"...

As soon as those strong people were frightened by the violent explosion, some people went crazy on the spot and started to 'ran'...

Soon, the strong people in the camp started to 'chaos' and started to 'chaos' around, and they didn't know what they were shouting...

Nelson Knight, the most senior British commander in the camp, was sweating profusely—he knew that these civilians had bombed the camp...

How terrifying the bombing of the camp is, as a Nelson Knight from a family of knights, that is all too clear. In fact, in many cases, a small number of troops can achieve huge results by sneaking on enemy camps in the middle of the night, not by fighting. But by intimidating the opponent, let the opponent blow up the camp and win.

Once the battalion is bombed, the soldiers in the battalion are prone to go crazy. They may run 'chaos', or they may attack indiscriminately, blindly looking at anyone in front of him... Under such 'chaos' and 'chaos', how can there be no reason to be defeated?

However, the bombing usually happens in the middle of the night. In broad daylight, you can see the situation at a glance. Seeing the actual situation, people can quickly calm down, especially regular soldiers. Because they are also trained.

However, these people are different. They have not received any training, let alone the training of the counterattack battalion. In the face of the sudden explosion, they suddenly became 'chaotic'...

Fortunately, these strong people are just coolies transporting food and have no weapons in their hands. Otherwise, it will really kill each other...

Knight Nelson quickly commanded his subordinates to appease the 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' people...

But as soon as he sent someone to appease Min Zhuang, the sound of hooves and the neighing of horses came from the camp...

"What's the situation? Could it be that the horses of the grain carriage are frightened? No, those horses are all tied up..." Knight Nelson was a little puzzled.

But soon, he knew why. But it was better not to know. At this moment, his eyes were full of fear—because he saw thousands of people riding horses, brandishing weapons, and rushing into the camp—obviously, the loud noise just now The movement is caused by this group of people...

And, it was obvious—the other party was the enemy. Otherwise, they will not come to attack the British camp...

"Assemble! Assembly! Come back to me!" Knight Nelson shouted hoarsely, calling out to the soldiers who had just been sent out and asking them to move closer to him.

He knew that in the face of the advancing cavalry, if the infantry did not form a formation, there would definitely be a dead end...

However, Knight Nelson was surprised to find out that the group of cavalrymen of unknown origin did not pay attention to their side at all. But soon, Nelson Knight's pupils shrank sharply...

Because, he saw it - the target of this hostile cavalry is not them at all, but the grain and grass storage area...

The whole conclusion, not only did not make Nelson relieved, but made him feel endless fear...

As an officer in the English official army, and responsible for the task of guarding the camp, Nelson knew the purpose of the camp - it was the base camp of His Majesty Henry VII's Northern Expedition!

And those grains were exactly what His Majesty Henry VII prepared to feed the 15,000 army and tens of thousands of people. After all, the northern counties are now in depression, and it is impossible to get food locally.

Now, this batch of grain has just arrived. As long as the "spring" farming is over, the British soldiers will arrive at the camp one after another, and then start the northern expedition.

However, if there is a loss of food and grass, it will inevitably affect Henry VII's northern expedition plan. Knight Nelson can already think of it - if the food and grass are lost, his head must not be saved...

However, just relying on the 500 spearmen under his command was really no match for the thousands of cavalry. However, if you don't protect the food and grass, you will die...

Therefore, Knight Nelson bit his head and took the 500 spearmen who had just lined up. He fearfully thought about advancing in the fodder storage area, hoping to block the enemy.

But the problem is, those people in the camp have bombed the camp. They ran 'chaotic' and blocked the path of the British spearmen...

Knight Nelson gritted his teeth and said:

"Those who stand in the way, kill without mercy!"

Then, he personally drew his knight's sword and killed a peasant who stood in front of him... Then, his subordinates followed suit, raising their spears and stabbing all the people who stood in their way...

However, they are still a bit late...

The British army camp was built very large, after all, it was supposed to house 20,000 to 30,000 people. Originally, there were also people who ran 'randomly' on the way the horse thieves went to the grain and forage storage area. However, the horse bandits rode their horses and were agile.

Under the command of Coster and Maric, the 900-horse bandits bypassed the Minzhuang residential area, and in the empty 'dangling' and 'dangling' camp, went straight to the grain and grass stacking area...

After arriving at the forage stacking area, Coster and Maric divided the horse bandits into several teams, and each team was responsible for several forage stacks...

"Throw the suet jars up like I do!" Coster commanded loudly. Then, he took the lead in smashing the pottery sheep oil jar in his hand into the grain pile...

With a bang, the clay pot shattered, and the suet was spilled on the haystacks. Then, Coster took out the oiled paper bag, sprinkled some gunpowder powder on the grain and haystack, and then threw a lit match onto it...

After the sound of "Puchi", blue smoke rose from the grain and hay pile, and then the whole grain and hay pile was ignited. Because of the suet oil, the fire started quickly...

"Everyone, come over with the torches!" Maric ordered loudly. Then, he was the first to take out a wooden stick with rags tied at the top. After stirring the stick in the suet jug, Maric directly lit the end of the rag dipped in suet on the lit haystack... In this way, a torch quickly formed...

The horse bandits under him have followed suit, and they have also lit the torches that have been prepared for a long time...

After arriving at their respective contract areas, these horse bandits followed suit and smashed the canisters of suet they were carrying into the grain and haystacks, making a loud bang. Then, they put the torches against the suet-soaked part - and soon the haystacks were ablaze...

Of course, suet is mainly used for grain piles. And the haystacks prepared for the horses do not need to be oiled at all. As long as the torch is stretched over and lit, the haystack itself will burn vigorously...
