[Chapter 940 Night Attack]

“Cheep!” After the

gunpowder twister was burned out, the steel pipe made a muffled sound and shook violently.

A red light shot out from the steel pipe and flew towards the sky obliquely above. After that, the red light gradually turned into white light.

This huge group of white light is like the sun at noon, and it slowly falls like a feather, illuminating the nearly one-mile radius of the sea in the distance as if it were daytime.

Gong Ying was stunned, and Ma Qian was stunned.

The soldiers who joined in the fun on the shore were even more stunned.

In the villages near Port Morez, there are still many indigenous people living.

The strange vision of heaven and earth directly made many people kneel down and kowtow to the bright place.

Some people were terrified and inexplicable, thinking that the sun had fallen from the sky.

“This is a flare!” Gong Ying and Ma Qian looked at each other on the shore.

They immediately realized the vital value of the flares.

With this thing, they will no longer be afraid of the enemy’s night attack.

Enemies attacking them at night will be exposed to the light of the flares and shot with precision.

And if they launch a night attack, the flares give them vision.

It’s like fighting in the daytime.

The most important thing is that if the opponent has never seen the flare, he will be frightened and lose the opportunity.

This is the tactic he thought of during the day.

“Everyone go back to rest. Tomorrow the troops will be dispatched to Queensland.” Gong Ying said to the generals when the flares were burned out and the world was dark again.

Now, he couldn’t wait to see the stunned expression of the enemy.

next day.

The fleet escorted the troop carrier from Morz.

After a day’s sailing, the soldiers were unloaded northeast of Queensland.

In the next two days, the troop carrier made another trip, and it took two days to send all 24,000 marines to the land of the Queensland Territory.

Gong Ying and Ma Qian arrived with a group of marines.

These two days are enough for them to grasp the defense situation of Queensland.

Compared with Holland, Queensland has a slightly larger population, but it is only about 120,000.

Now, the Britons have dug a trench outside Queensland, and there are many figures in the trench.

However, they soon discovered each other’s weakness.

Although there seem to be many Britons in the trenches.

But there were less than 8,000 people who actually equipped muskets.

And some of them are flintlock guns.

“Let the soldiers have a good rest, and completely take Queensland tonight.” Gong Ying issued an order when all the marines arrived.

Ma Qian answered yes, turned and left.

now.

In the city of Queensland, a pair of eyes are also watching the movements of the landing corps.

He was Captain Harpy of the British Army stationed in Queensland.

He frowned when he saw the uniformed soldiers in green uniforms and muskets on their backs.

As far as he is concerned, he has only seen such a military appearance in the West.

He was amazed that an indigenous country in the East could create such an army.

However, after being surprised, he fell into deep worry.

He couldn’t help asking himself: How long could he last with a thousand British regulars and four thousand militia?

Of course, he also followed Oliver’s order to mobilize the prisoners and citizens of Queensland on a large scale to participate in the war.

Now, the only hope is that the other side, seeing their determination to defend Queensland, can retreat.

“Come on, come on, let us see what you are capable of. You are crazy to fight against Britain. Even if you take this place, it will be temporary. We will tear you apart in the end.” Haha Said through gritted teeth.

Immediately, he continued to observe the Great Song army.

Since the first day of landing, this army has not made any movements.

Today, a large number of soldiers came to supplement them, and it seemed that they still did not make any moves.

Although he was puzzled, he couldn’t think of what the other party wanted to do.

It can only make the soldiers in the trenches more vigilant.

Soon, it was evening.

The color of the entire grassland dimmed, and then was swallowed by thick darkness.

At this moment, the Marine Corps soldiers came out of the tent.

According to the battle plan, they arrived at the predetermined position and began to crawl on the grass to the British trench.

The pasture on the grass is about 30 centimeters long, just enough to cover the bodies of the soldiers.

The soft grass makes them hardly make any sound when they walk.

As they got closer and closer to the trenches of Britain.

They can occasionally see some light, like fireflies.

This is a British soldier smoking a cigarette.

Naturally, they would not have thought that Da Song’s army would launch a night attack.

The reason is simple. In the case of a night attack, the darkness will greatly reduce the accuracy of the musket.

Rush into the trench, and it is easier to fall into hand-to-hand combat.

With the number of prisoners and townspeople organized by them, the other party may not be able to take advantage of it.

So for the Dasong army, a night attack is a stupid way.

Because of this, some British soldiers smoked in the trench safely while on duty.

“Fifty meters…forty meters, thirty meters.” When the

British soldiers didn’t realize it, the marines continued to approach the trench.

When the distance between the two sides was about 30 meters, they stopped proceeding, but pressed their bodies tightly to the ground, and at the same time untied the grenades around their waists.

Some soldiers aimed their guns in the direction of the trench.

After all the offensive forwards are in place, the messengers of each team will send back the news.

At this time, Gong Ying gave the order to attack.

Hearing this, the soldiers took the flare cartridge out of the box and pointed it at the Briton’s trench.

With a bang, 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 its white tail and falling slowly.

in an instant.

The ditch was illuminated as bright as day, and all the Britons in the ditch raised their heads.

They looked at the dazzling light ball in the sky, and their minds went blank.

“God, what the hell is going on?” A British veteran with a cigarette in his mouth widened his eyes.

Happy also rushed out of the house. He was about to take a rest when he suddenly found that the window was bright.

It’s like the moment lightning appears, but the lightning is only for a moment, but the bright light continues.

“What the hell is this?” Happy was equally shocked.

If he hadn’t received a good education, he really thought it was an angel descending from the earth.

But obviously not everyone is like him.

Many people in the trench immediately prayed, thinking that an angel had come to save them.

Help them defeat the demons of the Eastlands.

But at this moment, someone suddenly felt that something had fallen into the trench.

Someone picked it up, and suddenly asked a smell of burning flames.

Before he could react, the thing in his hand suddenly exploded.

“Boom…” All

of a sudden, flames burst into the trenches of Britain.
