Chapter 1195: The Surprise Attack After the Surprise Attack

In the dead of night, the Dark Night Legion is in its element.

The specially trained soldiers use reed stalks as breathing tubes, slowly sneaking forward underwater.

Although Luojinsi's men are sufficiently vigilant, no one would ever imagine that the enemy would attack from underwater.

At night, the river water is bone-chillingly cold; some soldiers have already lost consciousness underwater, but fortunately, their daily training is rigorous enough to allow them to endure the pain and complete the mission.

Under such circumstances, not a single person makes any other sound.

They adjust their breathing rhythmically, slowly sneaking forward.

Calculating the time, the two units of the Dark Night Legion should both be nearing their destinations; at this moment, Liu Zheng also gathers Nashadier's main force.

The small units are just the groundwork; the protagonists of this battle are Nashadier's troops.

The Britain army cannot withstand a surprise attack of fifty thousand men.

Although the previous surprise attack by the Dark Night Legion would make the Britain army nervous, they would absolutely never imagine that after a surprise attack, there would be another surprise attack!

Such an unexpected move might perhaps have even better results.

Nashadier still had his reservations when he was first summoned.

To be precise, he had always had reservations about Liu Zheng.

These fifty thousand men were his own hard-earned foundation!

Does he even know how to fight a war?

This Young Master Liu from Longyan is certainly the world's best at making money. But as for his actual skill in warfare, he truly has no idea.

However, he cannot disobey his orders...

But after he finished hearing Liu Zheng's strategy, he was completely stunned.

This...

He took a deep breath.

He began to pray for Britain.

The Liu Zheng they have encountered is not a man, but a god!

He truly admires Young Master Liu with his entire being!

At the same time, a sense of powerlessness surges in his heart.

Such a person...

Is it even possible for him to achieve anything under his nose?

Endure!

For now, he can only endure!

The fifty thousand men are ready to cross the river, waiting only for Jiang Xuan and his men to turn the Britain military camp upside down.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan has already infiltrated the Britain naval camp.

Seeing the tightly guarded camp, Jiang Xuan frowns.

He had wanted a live Luojinsi, but looking at this situation, it will be very difficult to bring one back alive.

"Group One, go get a small boat that can hold our dozens of men; once that is done, fire a red Signal Flare."

"Group Two is responsible for interception, and Group Three will charge in with me, heading straight for their main barracks. Once successful, I will fire a yellow Signal Flare. At that time, Group Two will withdraw. Remember, do not get bogged down in fighting; the enemy outnumbers us by hundreds. If we are surrounded, it will mean the annihilation of the entire force. Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

Jiang Xuan intends to carry out a decapitation strike, which is something Luojinsi would never imagine.

He had also considered that Liu Zheng might come to launch a surprise attack, but he felt that Liu Zheng would definitely destroy his ammunition depot first, leaving his artillery without ammunition supplies.

At most, he would come to raid his granary.

Therefore, Luojinsi placed his defensive focus on his ammunition depot and granary; there is truly not much defensive force near the barracks where he resides.

This arrangement, if following conventional warfare, is not wrong.

Since ancient times, the granary has always been a place that both sides in a war strive to protect.

And after entering the age of gunpowder, the ammunition depot is naturally of paramount importance.

Moreover, the ammunition depot is even more critical.

After all, if something happens to this, even the entire camp would be blown to pieces.

In the dead of night, most of the soldiers have already fallen

asleep, but Luojinsi lies in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

This is already his third night of insomnia.

The enemy attack he anticipated never came; he has waited until he is somewhat neurasthenic.

Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Luojinsi finds it hard to calm his mind to sleep; he feels irritable, and he also feels his right eyelid twitching constantly.

Something is wrong!

Something is still wrong!

He has investigated his opponent, Liu Zheng, for a long time. Such a proud son of heaven cannot be so patient, always so patient...

One must know, Suez is his major stake!

A major stake with heavy capital invested!

After struggling for a while, Luojinsi decides to go check the defensive forces at the ammunition depot.

The ammunition depot is of paramount importance and absolutely cannot be lost.

Just as Luojinsi leaves his field headquarters, suddenly, a burst of Musket fire rings out from within the headquarters.

"What is going on!"

"Where?"

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The alarm was sounded immediately.

The entire camp fell into chaos.

Luojinsi's eyelids twitched; the military camp had been raided.

Although the raid came very suddenly, Luojinsi was actually somewhat happy.

The long-awaited raid had finally arrived; if it hadn't come, he would have gone mad.

Luojinsi had rehearsed the Method of countering raids countless times in his mind; although the Longyan Army's target was different from what he had imagined, the basic tactics were the same.

The small unit conducting the raid must be the elite of Longyan; he only needed to surround and annihilate them within the camp.

The surrounding ambush troops quickly gathered toward the center, but they encountered strong resistance.

"Prepare to engage the enemy, do not panic, act according to the plan!"

"Act according to the plan!"

Luojinsi felt somewhat excited at this moment.

Finally, there was a time for him to show his skills!

Luojinsi wanted to swallow them in one bite, but Jiang Xuan did not give him that opportunity; a yellow Signal Flare rose into the sky, and everyone quickly withdrew from the battlefield, heading straight for the fleet controlled by Group One.

"Where are the people!"

"Where did they go!"

Luojinsi looked bewildered.

The troops he had prepared also became like a swarm of headless flies.

They couldn't find anyone at all!

"Bastard!"

Luojinsi's excitement was instantly doused by a bucket of cold water, and his face changed color immediately.

The Dark Night Legion came and went without a trace; the British Army chased them the whole way, but they didn't even catch a glimpse of the Dark Night Legion's back.

"General, what should we do..."

"Retreat!"

Although he felt some regret, Luojinsi did not order a pursuit to the death.

The situation at night was unclear; it would be troublesome if they fell into a trap prepared by the opponent because of the pursuit.

With the navy and army combined, the British Army had the advantage; at this time, he only needed to play it steady to have a high chance of achieving final victory in the war, so there was no need to take risks.

After driving away the attackers, Luojinsi returned to his own quarters, and at this moment, he saw Luoweier sitting in his chair, covered in bullet holes.

Before leaving, he had specifically instructed Luoweier to stay here to prevent emergencies; he never expected that he would become his scapegoat.

Seeing Luoweier's corpse, Luojinsi did not feel sad or depressed about losing a friend. Instead, he couldn't help but feel fortunate; it was a good thing he had insomnia, otherwise, the one dead here would have been him.

He was quite happy, but Jiang Xuan could not be happy.

After expending so much effort, they had only managed to kill one of the opponent's deputy generals!

This Luojinsi really had good luck.

Jiang Xuan's side had no gains, while on the other front

The Dark Night Legion successfully burned the opponent's grain and fodder.

A green Signal Flare exploded in the sky; after seeing the Signal Flare, Liu Zheng waited, but after waiting for a long time, there was no second green Signal Flare.

It looked like one front had failed.

The British Army was not a rabble; a failure on one front was within Liu Zheng's acceptance.

At this time, Liu Zheng ordered everyone to board the Yinzhou ships and all transport vessels.

He wanted to launch another surprise attack.

In this battle, he did not seek victory, but only to consume the opponent's effective strength to the greatest extent.

As long as he could weaken the opponent's strength to be equal to his own, then Liu Zheng's goal would be achieved.

Drag it out first, and after the wars around Longyan ended, then concentrate his energy to deal with Britain!

After the Dark Night Legion's raid, the British Army was busy repairing the destroyed military facilities, and Luojinsi's troops were also redeploying.

The number of people who invaded from Longyan this time was not large, but the damage caused was truly not small.

Their casualties were over two hundred people, plus the general, Luoweier.

Morale dropped all of a sudden.

As the commander-in-chief, Luojinsi naturally had to comfort his soldiers at this time.

However, just as he was halfway through his speech, a Scout brought news.

Liu Zheng had made a move.

However, he did not move against him, but against Hans.

Liu Zheng led nearly four thousand members of the Dark Night Legion and fifty thousand Cavalry without horses, heading straight for Hans's camp; Hans's troops were busy with repairs, and they never expected that after one small-scale raid, there would be another large-scale surprise attack!

The British Army's morale was already low, and under these circumstances, being attacked by a force of uncountable size, the soldiers immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

In this camp, there were a total of one hundred thousand British and native Egypt troops; this battle caused the native troops to flee completely, and in the end, only thirty thousand British troops remained.

With the tactical goal achieved, Liu Zheng did not stay here, ordering everyone to board the ships and quickly retreat to the Sinai Peninsula.

The nearly one-thousand-strong Dark Night Legion came and went without a trace, and now, the army of over fifty thousand was the same, coming and going like the wind.

The British Army was completely stunned. Pop-ups are severe recently, you can click to download to avoid pop-ups.
