The sky is getting brighter and brighter, but at this time, it is the time when people are most sleepy. Although there was already light, the British camp was still quiet, with 500 infantry and more than 3,000 people sleeping.

Koster's herald came to the fence and brought not only the order to light the fire, but also several lighted ropes. It's too dangerous to have these Demomen set fire outside the fence. Because, the sound of flint fire may alarm the people inside.

So, Coster found a hidden place to light a fire in a temporary position two kilometers away, and lit a few fire ropes for the herald to bring over.

The Herald distributes five lit arquebuses to the five Demomen. Then, he turned around and returned to his own team. Several of the Demomen began blowing the arquebuses with their mouths to make them burn more vigorously. One of them had already extinguished his firerope, so he and his companions borrowed a fire and rekindled their own.

It was already half-dawn at this time, and the Mars of the arquebus was not as obvious as it was in the night. Several people squatted outside the fence of the British army camp and blew the fire rope, but no one noticed it.

After making sure that the fire rope was fully burned, the five men lined up and came to the fuse of the powder keg they had buried......

In order to ensure sufficient width for the horses to storm the camp, Koster brought five powder kegs, divided them into five places, and buried them under the wooden fence. And the fuses they use are also generally long, so as to explode as synchronously as possible......

After getting ready, the five people lined up squatted down one after another, looking at the fuse on the ground with solemn eyes. John, the lead demolition leader, counted down in a low voice:

"Wang......

"Spit ......"

"Sri ......"

"Hair El ......"

After the captain had finished counting, the five Demomen pressed down on the fire rope at the same time, igniting the fuse on the ground......

"Run!"

After John finished speaking, he turned around and ran, without the slightest hesitation. As a Demoman, he was well aware of the dangers involved. If you run slowly, you may be hit by the debris from the explosion, and you will either be killed or injured.

Seeing the boss's style, the other members also rushed to the rear without the slightest hesitation......

After a while, the fuse burned and went into the earth, igniting the powder keg buried in the earth......

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

Five loud bangs were heard in a row, and the ground of the entire British army camp trembled. Many British soldiers and civilians jumped out of bed in fright......

The power of the 5 powder kegs was extraordinary, and after the explosion, the nearby wooden fence was directly blown away. Among them, some of the sharp stakes of the wooden fence flew up directly and smashed into the tents in the British camp, directly injuring people. In the area where the powder keg was originally buried, the wooden fence is gone......

At the same time, a kilometer away, after the explosion of 900 horse bandits again, they all took their hands away from the ears of the war horses......

Before, before the explosion, Koster knew that there would be a loud noise. In order to prevent the horses from being frightened, Coster ordered all horse thieves to cover the ears of their horses with their own hands to prevent them from being frightened. As for the bandits themselves, just remove a rag and stuff it into your ears......

Seeing the explosion pass, Coster and his horse bandits took away the hand covering the horse's ear, and at the same time threw the rags in their ears. In addition, the foot cover of the war horse and the strip of cloth that tied the horse's mouth were also removed......

Then, everyone hugged the wooden planks and rode forward......

A kilometer away, for a cavalry, is not far, even a canter, the horses quickly arrived at the scene of the explosion......

At this point, the wooden fence in this section is gone, but the wooden stakes in the trench are still there. So, under Koster's command, the horse bandits threw planks into the trenches and filled in a road......

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

"Brothers, rush with me!" Then, he took the lead, rode into the British camp, and went straight to the place where the grain and grass had been piled up......

At this time, there was still chaos in the British camp......

The 500 regular army spearmen were not in disarray, and after a brief panic, they were organized by their respective officers and tried to go to the site of the explosion to check the situation.

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

Those people were frightened by the violent explosion, and some people on the spot went crazy and began to run around......

Soon, the people in the camp were in a mess and began to run around, not knowing what they were shouting......

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

How terrible the bombing camp is, as a Nelson knight from a knight's family, it is all too clear. In fact, many times, a small number of troops were able to achieve great results by sneaking up on the enemy camp in the middle of the night, rather than winning in battle. Rather, it is by intimidating the opponent so that the opponent can win after bombing the camp.

Once the battalion is bombed, the soldiers in the battalion are prone to madness. They may run around, or they may attack indiscriminately, blindly looking at anyone in front of them...... In such chaos, how can there be no reason to be invincible?

However, the bombing of the camp usually takes place in the middle of the night. In broad daylight, you can see the situation clearly at a glance. Seeing the actual situation, people quickly calm down, especially regular army soldiers. Because, they are also trained to a certain extent.

However, these people are different. They did not have any training, let alone training in a counterattack battalion. Faced with the sudden explosion, they were immediately confused......

Fortunately, this group of people is just a coolie transporting food, and they have no weapons in their hands. Otherwise, it will really kill each other......

Knight Nelson hurriedly commanded his men to pacify the chaotic people......

But no sooner had he sent his men to pacify the people than the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of horses could be heard in the camp......

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

But soon, he knew why. But it is better not to know than not to know, at this time, his eyes were full of fear—for he saw thousands of men on horseback, brandishing their weapons, rushing into the camp—and it was evident that the loud noise just now was caused by this group of people......

And, obviously, the other side is an enemy army. Otherwise, they would not have come to attack the British camp......

"Assemble! Gather! Give me all back! The Nelson knight shouted hoarsely, beckoning the soldiers who had just been sent out to move closer to him.

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

However, the Nelson knights were surprised to find that the cavalry of unknown origin did not pay any attention to their side. But soon, Nelson Knight's pupils contracted dramatically......

Because, he saw that the target of this hostile cavalry was not them at all, but the grain and grass stacking area......

The whole conclusion, instead of relieving Nelson, made him feel endless fear......

As an officer in the English army and tasked with 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 and grasses are what His Majesty Henry VII prepared to feed for 15,000 troops and tens of thousands of people. After all, the northern counties are now in a depression, and there is no way to get food on the spot.

Now, this batch of grain and grass has just arrived, and as long as the spring plowing is over, the British soldiers will arrive at the camp one after another, and then start the Northern Expedition.

However, if the grain and grass are lost, it will inevitably affect Henry VII's Northern Expedition. Knight Nelson could already think of it—if he lost the truth, his head would definitely not be saved......

However, relying on his 500 spearmen alone, he was really no match for the thousands of cavalry. However, if you don't protect the grain and grass, you will die......

So, the Nelson knights took the plunge, with 500 spearmen who had just lined up, and fearfully thought about advancing in the grain and hay stacking area, hoping to stop the enemy.

But the problem is, the people in the camp have bombed the camp. They ran wildly, blocking the path of the British spearmen......

Knight Nelson gritted his teeth and said:

"Those who stand in the way, there is no mercy!"

He then drew his knight's sword himself and killed one of the peasants who stood in his way...... Then, his men did the same, raising their spears and stabbing all the people who stood in their way......

However, they are still a little late......

The British army camp was built very large, after all, it was to house twenty or thirty thousand people. Originally, on the road to the grain and grass storage area, there were also people running around. However, the bandits rode their horses and were agile.

Under the command of Koster and Marić, 900 horse bandits bypassed the Minzhuang residential area and rushed to the grain and grass stacking area in the empty camp......

Upon arriving at the grain and hay stacking area, Koster and Marić divided the bandits into several squads, each of which was responsible for several grain and hay piles......

"Throw the canister of mutton fat up, just like me!" Koster commanded loudly. Then, he took the lead in smashing the earthenware mutton fat jar in his hand into the grain and grass pile......

With a "clang", the clay pot shattered, and the mutton fat was sprinkled on the grain and grass pile. Koster then took out the oiled paper packet, sprinkled some gunpowder powder on the grain and grass pile, and threw a lit fire rope on it......

After a "poof" sound, green smoke rose from the grain and grass pile, and then the entire grain and grass pile was ignited. Because of the burning of mutton fat, the fire started quickly......

"Come and light the torches, everyone!" Marić commanded loudly. Then, take out a wooden stick with a rag tied to the top. After mixing the sticks in the mutton fat jar, Marić directly lit a fire on the lit grain and grass pile with one end of the rag dipped in mutton fat...... In this way, a torch is quickly formed......

The horse bandits under his command did the same, and they also lit the torches that had been prepared long ago......

After arriving at their respective areas, the bandits smashed their respective cans of mutton fat into the grain and grass piles, and the sound of "clang" rang out. Then they leaned their torches against the fat-stained parts – and the haystack soon burst into flames......

Of course, it is mainly the grain heaps that use mutton fat. The haystack for the horses, on the other hand, did not need to be poured with oil at all, but as long as the torch was stretched out and lit, the haystack itself burned vigorously......
