Indeed, as Bai Mu expected, the British commander David had quietly gathered the men and horses of the two armies, and had already advanced some distance.

Now, as long as you wait for the report of the forward reconnaissance battalion, you will speed up and rush to the city of Wenzhou.

"Report to the commander, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Hunter, has sent someone back." Soldiers came to report.

"Great, I hope Hunter brings back good news." David smiled reservedly and asked the soldier who reported the news to be called.

"Dear General David, we have succeeded in taking the designated position and crushing a group of enemies who are trying to fight us for our destination. However, Camp Commander Hunter thinks that the enemy should send reinforcements to attack soon, so I hope you can rush over with the main force as soon as possible. ”

It was a second lieutenant who was sent back to report the news.

Although David was a little surprised that the second lieutenant seemed to have a bit of sweat on his forehead, he thought that he was tired because he was running too fast, and he didn't think much of it.

In fact, the truth is that the second lieutenant broke out so much cold sweat because he was afraid, because if he did something wrong, the soldier who followed him would kill him on the spot.

The soldier was disguised by Zhong Haiyang, the squadron leader of the First Army's reconnaissance group, in a British military uniform.

In the British army, although most of them were blonde and blue-eyed British, there were also soldiers of other races, including yellow-skinned ones.

Therefore, Zhong Haiyang pretending to be a British soldier will not arouse suspicion, and the most important thing is that he is adaptable and understands English.

"Hunter did a great job, I'll give him and you a great credit. I heard that there are a lot of beauties in the Jiangnan area of Zhongzhou, and when we occupy Wenzhou City and Hangzhou City, we can let your camp have priority carnival and enjoy it. The order went down, and the troops accelerated and marched towards Wenzhou City. ”

"I have even seen that those beautiful girls in Wenzhou City are waving to me. Haha......" David also abandoned his reserve at this time, and laughed proudly.

Zhong Haiyang's eyes flashed with his head down, and the murderous intent appeared, but it quickly disappeared, and an excited smile appeared on his face like the other British soldiers, as if he was happy for the upcoming carnival.

Having received information from the front, the British troops suddenly increased the speed of their march, and even some of their cavalry overtook the large force and rushed to the front.

There was a blind optimism among the British soldiers, and most of them believed that they would be able to achieve a great victory this time.

The news they got from their superiors was that their opponent did not increase their troops, only more than 10,000 people, and they had to divide their troops to garrison, so they had an absolute advantage in terms of strength in this battle, so there was basically no suspense in this battle.

Some of the soldiers even sang songs from their hometowns, at first one or two people were singing, but then many people joined in, and eventually a chorus was formed.

This kind of scene does not look like a march before the battle, but rather a relaxing and comfortable spring outing.

Zhong Haiyang, who was hidden at the edge of the team, watched all this, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ignorant Englishmen, you really don't know anything about the cruelty of battle.

Finding an excuse, Zhong Haiyang dragged the British second lieutenant into the dense forest on both sides of the road.

The British lieutenant looked at Zhong Haiyang, who suddenly pulled out his knife, with a frightened face, and was about to open his mouth to scream, but Zhong Haiyang suddenly covered his mouth, and then, the sharp dagger pierced his heart, his head was weak, and he completely lost his vitality.

After slowly placing the body of the British second lieutenant on the ground, finding some weeds and the like to cover it up a little, and ensuring that he could not find it in front of him, Zhong Haiyang quietly escaped.

He was going to rush back to report the news and tell Bai Mu that the British had been trapped.

During the march of the troops, it is really normal for soldiers to fall behind, and there will be various unexpected factors that cause soldiers to fall behind.

Therefore, after discovering that the two soldiers were missing, the British army did not think much about it, and did not even report it to David.

After all, they were still members of the reconnaissance battalion, and their main forces were on the front line, so maybe they went to find their own troops, so the disappearance of Zhong Haiyang and the two of them did not attract the attention of the British.

After Zhong Haiyang slipped out of the dense forest, he found the person who answered, and soon rode back to Bai Mu's side.

After Bai Mu learned that the British had been set, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, well done." You go down and rest first. Let's recharge our energy now, and let the British be happy for a while. ”

The rain began to fall heavily, and although the rain in winter would not be as torrential as in summer, it would be very cold and quickly take away the heat from the body.

Although the British army was also issued with raincoats, the soldiers were still shivering in the freezing rain. Even the vehicles that transported the ammunition and baggage began to get stuck in the mud and became slower and slower.

The high morale of the British at the beginning passed quickly, and the soldiers trudged through the mud, the singing disappeared, and the complaints grew.

"Damn the weather, it's terrible. How far is it from Wenzhou City? David walked cautiously on his horse, put on his raincoat, looked up at the sky, cursed, and asked the adjutant next to him.

"Your Excellency General, there are still about twenty miles." The adjutant wiped the rain from his face and looked at the map with a shudder.

"Tell the lads, work hard. There is no way to rest in this barren mountain range. When you arrive in Wenzhou City, you can have dry clothes and delicious food to enjoy. And there will be countless beautiful escort girls for them. David cried out.

The soldiers, encouraged by David's description, took a step and continued on their way.

Although the morale has risen a little, David is a little worried in his heart.

The damn weather would have damp the gunpowder, and many soldiers' muskets, even their artillery, might not be able to fire due to the dampness.

However, when he thought that he had the advantage of forces this time, and God was fair, he would cause the same trouble to the enemy.

What David didn't know was that on the side of the Wehrmacht, the Second Regiment was sheltering from the wind and rain in Wenzhou City, roasting the fire, and drinking hot soup, which was very comfortable.

Even the First Army and the Forty-seventh Army, which were ambushed in the dense forest, built a lot of wooden sheds to shelter from the rain because they had plenty of time, and drainage channels were built with sapper shovels around the wooden sheds, and the cotton clothes were thick, and the raincoats were waterproof, so they would not be as embarrassed as them.

After trekking for two or three hours on the muddy official road, the embarrassed British finally saw the walls of Wenzhou City, and the soldiers began to cheer.

David looked at the outline of Wenzhou City on his horse, and laughed smugly.
