Late at night is the home ground of the Dark Night Army.
Specially trained soldiers used reed poles as breathing apparatus to slowly sneak underwater.
Although Loggins' men were vigilant enough, no one would have thought that the enemy would attack from underwater.
At night, the river water was freezing cold, and some soldiers had lost consciousness under the water. Fortunately, the daily training was more demanding, allowing them to endure the pain and complete the mission.
In this case, no one made any other sound.
They adjusted their breathing evenly and sneaked slowly.
Calculating the time, the two armies of the Dark Night Legion should be approaching their destination. At this time, Liu Zheng gathered Nashadir's large army together.
The small group of troops is there to pave the way. The protagonist of this battle is Nashadir's team.
A surprise attack of fifty thousand men was too much for the British army.
Although the previous surprise attack by the Dark Night Legion would make the British army nervous, they would never have imagined that after the sneak attack, there would be another sneak attack!
Such a surprise might have better results.
Nashadir, when he was first summoned, still had some objections in his heart.
To be precise, he has always had problems with Liu Zheng.
These 50,000 people are the wealth that I have slowly accumulated!
Will he fight?
Mr. Liu from Longyan must be the best in the world in making money. But he really didn't know what his fighting skills were.
However, he had to obey his orders...
However, after he listened to Liu Zheng's strategy, he was shocked.
this……
He took a deep breath.
He began to pray for Britain.
The Liu Zheng they met was not a human, but a god!
He truly admired Mr. Liu so much that he fell into submission!
At the same time, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Such a person...
Is it still possible for me to achieve something under his nose?
Tolerate!
I can only endure it for the time being!
Fifty thousand people were ready to cross the river, just waiting for Jiang Xuan and others to turn the British military camp into chaos.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan had sneaked into the British naval camp.
Jiang Xuan frowned when he saw the heavily defended camp.
I originally wanted a living Loggins, but looking at the situation, it would be difficult to bring a living one back.
"As a group, go get a small boat that can accommodate dozens of us. Once it's done, send out a red flare."
"The second group is responsible for blocking. The third group rushes in with me and goes straight to their main barracks. After I succeed, I will send out yellow flares. At that time, the second group evacuates. Remember, don't be reluctant to fight. The enemy is hundreds of times more powerful. If I am surrounded, the whole army will be annihilated, do you understand?"
"clear!"
…
Jiang Xuan planned to behead him, which Logins must have never thought of.
He also thought that Liu Zheng would come for a sneak attack, but he felt that Liu Zheng would definitely destroy his ammunition depot first, so that his artillery fire would have no ammunition supply.
At most, it would be to raid his granary.
Therefore, Loggins focused his defense on his ammunition depot and granary. There was really not much defense force near the barracks where he lived.
This arrangement is not wrong if it is based on ordinary war.
Since ancient times, granaries have been places that both sides have tried their best to protect during wars.
After entering the gunpowder era, ammunition depots were naturally a top priority.
Moreover, the ammunition depot is even better.
After all, if something happens to this thing, even the entire camp will be blown up.
Late at night, most of the soldiers had fallen asleep, but Loggins lay in bed tossing and turning.
This was already his third night of insomnia.
The expected enemy attack never came, and he had a nervous breakdown from waiting.
Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Loggins found it difficult to calm down and sleep. His heart was agitated, and he felt that his right eyelid kept twitching.
Something's wrong!
Still something is wrong!
He had been investigating Liu Zheng's opponent for a long time. It is impossible for such a proud man of heaven to be so forbearing and tolerant all the time...
You know, Suez is his big deal!
A huge bet on the market!
After struggling for a while, Loggins decided to go to the ammunition depot to see the defense strength.
The ammunition depot is a top priority and must not be missed.
Loggins had just left his camp when suddenly, there was a burst of musketry in the camp.
"what happened!"
"where?"
"Alert alert!"
"Enemy attack enemy attack!"
The alarm was immediately raised.
The whole camp was in chaos.
Loggins' eyelids twitched, and the military camp was attacked.
Although the sneak attack came suddenly, Loggins was a little happy.
The long-awaited sneak attack was finally here. If it didn't come again, he would go crazy.
Loggins has rehearsed countless ways to counter sneak attacks in his mind. Although the target of the Longyan Army's attack is different from what he thought, the basic methods are the same.
The small group of troops who made the sneak attack must be Long Yan's elite. All they had to do was surround them in the camp.
The surrounding ambush troops quickly gathered in the center, but they encountered strong resistance.
"Be prepared to meet the enemy, don't panic, and act according to the plan!"
"Follow the plan!"
Loggins was a little excited at this time.
It's finally time for him to show off his skills!
Logins wanted to eat them in one bite, but Jiang Xuan didn't give him this chance. As soon as a yellow signal flare was launched into the sky, everyone hurriedly evacuated the battlefield and went straight to a group of controlled fleets.
"Where are the people!"
"Where are they!"
Loggins looked confused.
The troops he prepared also turned into a group of headless flies.
No one can be found at all!
"Asshole!"
Loggins' excitement was suddenly splashed with cold water, and his expression suddenly changed.
The Dark Night Army came and went without a trace. The British army chased them all the way, but they didn't even see the back of the Dark Night Army.
"General, what should we do..."
"Withdraw troops!"
Although it was a bit regretful, Loggins did not order the pursuit to the end.
The situation at night is unknown, and it would be troublesome if the pursuit leads to falling into a trap prepared by the opponent.
Combined with the navy and army, the British army has the advantage. At this time, as long as he fights steadily, he is very likely to win the final victory of the war. There is no need to take risks.
After driving away the attackers, Loggins returned to his barracks. At this time, he saw Rowell sitting on his chair with bullet holes all over his body.
Before he left, he specifically told Rowell to live here in case of emergencies. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be his scapegoat.
Seeing Rowell's body, Loggins did not feel sad or depressed about losing his friend. But he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had insomnia, otherwise, he would be the one who died here.
He was quite happy, but Jiang Xuan was not happy.
After wasting so much effort, he only managed to kill one of the opponent's lieutenants!
This Loggins is really lucky.
Jiang Xuan had no harvest, while the other group of Dark Night Army successfully burned the other party's food and grass.
A green flare exploded in the sky. After seeing the flare, Liu Zheng started to wait. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no second green flare.
Apparently, it failed along the way.
The British army was not a mob, and failure along the way was within Liu Zheng's acceptance.
At this time, Liu Zheng ordered everyone to board the Yinzhou ship and all transportation vehicles.
He's going to make another surprise attack.
In this battle, the goal is not to win, but to consume the opponent's vitality to the greatest extent.
As long as the opponent's strength can be weakened to the same level as his own, Liu Zheng's goal will be achieved.
Let's hold off for now and wait until the war around Longyan is over, then focus on dealing with Britain!
After the Dark Night Legion's sneak attack, the British Army was busy repairing the damaged military facilities, and Loggins' troops were also redeploying.
The number of people Long Yan invaded this time was not large, but the damage caused was really not small.
Their casualties were more than 200, plus General Rowell.
Morale suddenly dropped.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Loggins naturally wanted to comfort his soldiers at this time.
However, just when he was halfway through speaking, news came from the scouts.
Liu Zheng took action.
However, instead of attacking him, he attacked Hans.
Liu Zheng led nearly 4,000 Dark Night Legions and 50,000 horseless cavalry, and headed straight for Hans's camp. Hans's troops were busy repairing, and they never expected that in a small-scale raid Finally, there will be a large-scale sneak attack!
The morale of the British army was already low. In this case, they were attacked by an countless number of troops. Suddenly, the soldiers dispersed.
In this camp, there were a total of 100,000 British and Egyptian native troops. This battle directly caused the native troops to escape completely. In the end, only 30,000 British troops were left.
After the tactical goal was achieved, Liu Zheng did not stop here and ordered everyone to board the ship and quickly withdraw to the Sinai Peninsula.
The Dark Night Army of nearly a thousand people came and went without a trace, and now, the army of more than 50,000 people also came and went like the wind.
The British Army was completely defeated.
