The Rise of the European Emperor

Fighting at night is a test of the quality of soldiers. Soldiers with poor quality can easily blow up the camp and go crazy under the dual effects of darkness and fear. -79 Novel Network - Therefore, even though he had successfully fought a few night raids, Marin still did not dare to be careless and conducted several days of night raid adaptation 'sex' training for the army.

In fact, Marin's First Corps was very adaptable to field operations. They fought many major battles with Marin, and night raids were pediatrics. Moreover, their daily training includes subjects such as night raids and anti-night raids. However, Saqqara's Fourth Army was not so experienced, and only attacked the Bursa coalition once under the leadership of the Schleswig Army. Although successful, it was also a bit risky at the time.

The most important thing is actually the night coordination of the First Army and the Fourth Army. After all, two corps, one German and one English. If the coordination is not good, it is easy to accidentally injure each other at night with low visibility. It doesn't happen during the day, but it's impossible to say at night. Therefore, Marin's night raid training in the past few days is not basic training, but coordination training between the two major legions at night. To this end, Malin specially arranged more than a dozen Frisian people, who knew both German and English-like Frisian, as the personnel who coordinated the communication between the two corps.

Fortunately, there are many Frisian officers in Saqqara's English Legion who already know both German and English. Therefore, this kind of night coordination training can be done in three or four days.

At this point, York City's offensive and defensive battle had been going on for eleven days. Marin felt that the recruits of the Fifth Army in the city were almost trained, so he decided to officially start the night raid.

Early in the morning on the twelfth day, the two regiments began to move in the direction of Yorktown. That night, they arrived in the jungle west of York City.

After simply eating the brown bread prepared earlier, the soldiers all began to rest, preparing to attack in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers were called up by the officers, and they got dressed and prepared to go. Looking at the sky, it happened to be a half moon at this time. Although the light was small, it was better than no light. You know, in order to ensure the success of the night attack, the army cannot advance with torches. Otherwise, it is easy to be detected and warned by enemy sentinels in the distance. Therefore, the first principle of night raids is to choose to march under the conditions of moonlight. Of course, if it was like in the Fornovo ambush, where you waited for the enemy to pass by in ambush on the top of the slope, that would be another story. Because there is no need to march, it doesn't matter if there is moonlight or not.

Under the faint moonlight, the soldiers, led by officers, carefully 'touched' the British camp...

The layout of the British camp is still the same - the slanted wooden pickets will always be standard on the outside of the camp. Because there are many troops and they think they are strong, this time outside the British army camp, they didn't even bother to dig tunnels, so they kept the slanted wooden pickets with the characteristics of the British army. As a result, Marin's army also saved a lot of trouble. For example, no need to fill the hole.

In order to open the fence of the British army, and at the same time to create a great "chaos" and "chaos" for the British army, Marin took the queen's demolition team - Donny Tserui and his dozens of professional subordinates,

also brought.

Doni Tserui personally led the team, and the commander selected several weak spots for the British defense, and sent people to bury the barrels of gunpowder under the fence. Because it was professional, all five teams completed the burying of the gun 'powder' barrels in just one hour, without disturbing the British army...

Then, Marin had people set up a fire in a hidden place, lit five matchsticks, hidden in a breathable wooden box, and let the Demomen take them back to the vicinity of the British fence. At the same time, the army was divided into five groups, and they also followed the demolition team forward...

Around 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky has not yet dawned, and the moon is still in the sky, but the east has turned slightly white - this is the month of July, and it will be "mist" and "mong" bright after four o'clock.

After arriving at the predetermined location, as a Kongming lantern rose into the sky, the blasters at the five locations started to ignite at the same time...

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-" Five loud noises came at the same time, shaking the earth...

All the soldiers in the British camp were awakened, and even the defenders in York City were awakened.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Many British soldiers inquired in panic.

However, before they could get the exact news, there were bursts of shouting and killing around the camp...

Henry Percy was taken aback - didn't I send sentries to watch in the direction of Yorktown? Why are there night raids?

Henry Percy was not unprepared. In order to prevent the army from attacking or fleeing at night, he sent a dozen scouts to monitor the four city gates of York City overnight. However, he did not expect that there would be enemies behind him...

So, after being awakened, the first thing Henry Percy did was to go out and inquire about the situation...

However, at this time, the entire camp was 'confused' and 'forced' by the shouting and killing of the enemy. How could he find out any useful information? The most correct course of action should be to loudly order the army to stabilize and organize resistance in battalion units.

However, Henry Percy was only 27 years old and relatively immature. Moreover, he had never encountered a frequent night attack criminal like Marin, so naturally he did not pay much attention to preventing night attacks. If it were replaced by the old opponents of Marin on the German side, they would definitely be on guard at night. Now, because they are afraid of Marin's night attack, the armies of many German states are specially equipped with guard dogs to help guard the night. If there is a night attack, even if the sentry can't find it, the 'door' dog can feel it... So, in Germany, Marin's night attack is more and more difficult to 'mix', but in England, because the night attack is not large It is popular, and prevention work is not in place...

"The enemy is coming! Run for your life!"

"Yeah, there are a lot of people! We can't beat it, everyone run away!"

In the darkness, there was this very demoralizing shout... Yes, it was arranged by Marin. The soldiers of the Fourth Legion are basically English, and when they shout, they are naturally authentic English accents.

In the 'chaos' and 'chaos', the English soldiers couldn't see who shouted, and naturally thought it was their own. Therefore, some officers originally planned to organize resistance on their own. However, being 'bewitched' and 'sex' by such demoralizing propaganda, directly shouting 'chaos' made the military morale. So, the unprepared English soldiers began to 'ran' like headless flies...

And Marin's army was led by sword and shield soldiers. If you see someone, smash them with a wooden shield, and if you see someone holding a weapon, give him a knife...

Marin had previously ordered that when he saw unarmed British soldiers, he smashed them with wooden shields and drove them to the enemy camp. If you encounter someone who is armed with a weapon, and you know how to resist, you will directly kill with a knife...

Those British soldiers who rushed out indiscriminately before they had time to get their weapons, under the deliberate drive of Marin's soldiers, rushed to the camps that formed a defensive formation under the command of the officers...

At this time, the British army camp was full of 'chaos' and 'chaos'. However, there are also some capable officers. After they woke up, they knew that something was wrong, and instead of rushing to find the commander, they decisively ordered the surrounding soldiers to find weapons, then moved closer to them and formed a defensive formation. Also, keep the formation moving in the direction of the coach's tent.

However, how could Marin's army, who had attacked by surprise, be willing to give them a chance to gather? Under the intentional drive of the sword and shield soldiers, many British soldiers who ran "randomly" without weapons involuntarily rushed towards the orderly enemy formations, blocking their way to the center...
