The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills.

The soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun's 2,000 scout battalion set out, quietly, in the same style as they carried out reconnaissance missions.

The scout battalion is the most powerful unit of the Zheng family's army, and its combat capability far exceeds that of other cavalry battalions and Shenji battalions, etc., and the most difficult reconnaissance and other tasks are undertaken by the scout battalion, but this is the first time to undertake the offensive mission.

This shows the importance and criticality of this operation.

All of them were black, their bodies were wrapped in black coats, and all that was exposed was their eyes, nostrils and mouths, and Wang Xiaoer, the general soldier of Jiangxi, was at the front of the team, leading everyone to rush towards Zheng Zhilong's mansion.

The scout battalion has become accustomed to night operations, and many times their reconnaissance missions are completed at night, and the reconnaissance requirements are quiet, and the intelligence is obtained when the opponent is unconscious, and the requirements of the scout operation are even more clear, that is, after completely destroying the opponent, they must also obtain intelligence, or confidential information.

Letting the scout battalion complete the mission of the sneak attack is undoubtedly the best option.

The town of Anhai has quieted down, but there are still two places that are still brightly lit, one is in the camp where the sergeants are stationed, and the other is the dock by the sea, and these two places are the places where the scout camp needs to attack.

The people of Anhai Town have long been accustomed to such a scene, in the eyes of the people, this is a huge waste, but Zheng Zhilong is rich and rivals the country, and this kind of consumption is not worth mentioning.

Bright lights are not necessarily a good thing, for Wang Xiaoer and the soldiers of the scout battalion, it is a headache, the attack under the lights will soon be discovered, once the soldiers of the scout battalion are discovered, the entire attack will be declared a failure.

However, Wang Xiaoer had already found a weakness. That was where the patrolling sergeants passed, not all of them were brightly lit, and when they left the barracks, they were all armed with torches within a long distance of the wharf, and there were no lights in these places. After the torches, the surroundings will be plunged into darkness.

In addition, there are not many lights in Zheng Zhilong's mansion, and everyone has to rest when it is probably late at night.

Wang Xiaoer personally led 500 soldiers to prepare for a surprise attack on the patrolling 50 people, and started a battle to kill and end the battle when the other party had no time to resist.

Each soldier carried a well-made small bow and crossbow, which was extremely lethal within ten meters, and the process of making it borrowed from the principle of the Mauser gun, which was specially created by the Huai'an Firearms Bureau for the soldiers of the scout battalion.

Five hundred against fifty, victory is certain, but it must be guaranteed quietly. You must not alarm anyone, let alone the sergeants in the barracks.

Being able to clearly distinguish the direction at night and launch a thunderous attack at the same time is the basic ability of the scout battalion soldiers, so Wang Xiaoer does not have to worry about the rhythm of the attack.

At the end of the day, fifty patrolling sergeants left the camp and began to patrol along the perimeter of the mansion.

Wang Xiaoer made a gesture to the herald beside him, which was a follow-up gesture.

Five hundred people moved silently. The surroundings were still very quiet, and there was nothing unusual to see. No one would have imagined that on this quiet night, two thousand people were lying in ambush outside the barracks, and five hundred of them were preparing for a deadly attack.

Everything was quiet, and none of the fifty sergeants on patrol spoke. They were lined up in two columns, each with five torches, and wherever they walked, they were all illuminated clearly.

Slowly, fifty sergeants moved farther and farther away from the barracks. The main target of their patrol is the dock, once they have seen the dock, they will return the same way, and the night patrol is longer, after they patrol the dock, they will rest for a while, and then return to the camp to let the next patrol sergeant take over.

The sergeants on patrol have long been familiar with this path, almost everyone can walk in the direction of the dock with their eyes closed, so many years have passed, they have long been used to it, anyway, it is a routine patrol, besides, no one in Fujian dares to covet Zheng Zhilong's mansion, and no one dares to go against Zheng Zhilong, which is equivalent to looking for death.

A smile flashed on Wang Xiaoer's face.

The fifty patrol sergeants were supposed to be carrying ten torches, in that case, the distance of about five meters to ten meters was very clear, but these fifty patrol sergeants were holding a total of four torches, which were held by the front and back four sergeants respectively, but their walking team was still very neat, and it seemed that they could keep the team neat without looking at the road.

The place where the four torches shine is much more limited, that is, about five meters away, and the sergeant walking in the middle of the line may not be able to detect the movement around him.

Raids are all about suddenness, and the closer you are to attack, the better the effect.

Wang Xiaoer secretly thought in his heart, this is really God bless the prince and Zheng Jiajun.

Wang Xiaoer once again made a gesture to the herald beside him, which was a gesture to act according to the predetermined deployment.

The herald's mouth made the sound of insects, three long and one short, and everyone heard it clearly.

A breeze blew, but this breeze was a little peculiar, and there was a murderous aura hidden in it.

The sergeants on patrol were accustomed to the sound of insects and the breeze at night, and no one cared.

In the flash of the calcium carbide, four burning torches suddenly fell to the ground at the same time.

A few short cries appeared, but not completely.

A hundred men in black swooped up, rushing towards the fifty patrolling sergeants from one direction, and there was a slight sneering sound in the air, and rows of cold rays could be seen in the faint light of the fire.

The patrol sergeant clutched his hands to his throat or face in pain, and slowly fell, some of them were still struggling on the ground, trying to shout, but unfortunately they didn't have a chance, and the hands of the black-clothed man who pounced on him flashed coldly......

For a short time, only the sound of insects chirping was left around.

There was not the slightest movement in the barracks in the distance.

Fifty men in black quickly appeared, and they quickly ripped off the patrol sergeants' clothes, some of which were still covered with blood, which was unavoidable.

Soon fifty patrol sergeants began their rounds again.

There were still four torches in front and back, but the speed of their patrol was much slower.

Half an hour has passed, and there is still half an hour left, and in terms of time, everything is still in time.

Zheng Jinhong's order to Wang Xiaoer was to deal with the sergeants patrolling Zishi and Choushi, and at the same time seize the dock, and in case of an accident, to prevent the people in the mansion from escaping.

Wang Xiaoer thought more far-reaching, he led the scout battalion, the most courageous soldier of the Zheng family's army, since he carried out the task, then he had to be perfect, otherwise how could he be regarded as a soldier of the scout battalion.

Wang Xiaoer's idea was to infiltrate the barracks with 100 soldiers from the scout camp, cleanly kill the 50 patrol sergeants who took over at the time of Choushi, occupy the dock and control five large ships with 900 sergeants, and infiltrate the mansion with the remaining 1,000 sergeants to occupy the most critical place, and when the army begins a general attack, the inside and outside should be combined to capture everyone in the mansion alive, and no one will be spared, even the old and weak, women and children.

There are two keys to this, and that is to be able to get on the docks and in the barracks.

This seems like a very difficult task, but with fifty sets of military uniforms, it becomes much easier.

Wang Xiaoer has already discovered that the patrol sergeant is absent-minded, his energy and attention are not concentrated at all, and there was a short cry in the attack just now, and there was no movement in the direction of the barracks.

It has been in peace for a long time, and has never encountered any fighting or danger, even if it is an iron-clad army, there will be slackness.

How could Wang Xiaoer miss such an opportunity.

He was still at the front in his military uniform, and he held a torch in his hand.

The dock was in front of us, and although it was brightly lit, it was quiet, and all that could be seen were five sergeants armed with spears, presumably on the same patrol duty.

The five sergeants didn't even have much expression on their faces when they saw the patrolling group.

Wang Xiaoer scolded and said a few words in his mouth, to the effect that patrolling is very hard.

The team of fifty men divided into five gangs and quietly approached the five patrolling sergeants.

Before the five sergeants on patrol could react, they were already surrounded, and when they fell down with big eyes, they didn't understand anything, so they went underground in a daze.

When the patrol group gathered again, the surroundings were very calm, and the five patrol sergeants were still armed with spears.

Some of the lights on the dock were quietly extinguished, and no one noticed.

Five hundred men in black appeared at the docks, one hundred on each large ship.

The big ship is docked at the pier, and the spiral ladder for boarding is next to it, and after a little movement, you can follow the spiral ladder to board the wooden boat.

Three hundred sergeants silently pounced on the dozen or so houses by the dock to deal with the sergeants inside.

Seeing the soldiers board the wooden boat and enter the house, Wang Xiaoer's face finally showed a smile.

The fifty sergeants on patrol had to return, otherwise there was not enough time, and the fifty sergeants returned with the sergeants on patrol in case of contingencies, and four hundred sergeants guarded the pier, and together with the five hundred sergeants who boarded the wooden boats, they completely controlled the pier.

Wang Xiaoer led a thousand soldiers from the scout camp and rushed towards the mansion.

He knew very well that by this time, the scout battalion had basically completed the combat mission, and the next step was a more perfect implementation, after a thousand soldiers of the scout battalion infiltrated the mansion, Zheng Zhilong would not be able to reverse the situation even if he had the ability to reach the sky.

There was a short scream from above the wooden boat and inside the house, but there was nothing wrong with it, no one would hear it. (To be continued.) )
