Lawrence took two puffs before he realized that he had forgotten to light his pipe, so he simply put the pipe on the table and left him alone, then he stood up and walked around the room twice and said, "How many weapons do we have now?" ”

Edward thought for a moment and replied, "There are about two thousand muskets, but we have more than five thousand, and there are still not enough weapons. ”

Lawrence gritted his teeth and said, "We can't wait any longer, these weapons are enough to deal with the Wahu government forces, I'm just afraid that my neighbors will do something." ”

Edward smiled: "There shouldn't be any worries about this, I've been keeping an eye on them, they haven't brought in weapons at all, no matter how powerful they are, there are only so many Chinese people on the island, there are not many people and there are no guns, it's in vain to want to deal with us, not to mention that I will leave a thousand people to keep an eye on them." ”

Lawrence nodded and said, "That's fine, let's move tonight, first attack the Vahu barracks, and then occupy the palace." ”

Edward worried, "What if the queen hears the news and runs away?" We'd better split our forces. ”

Lawrence sighed: "But we don't have enough troops and weapons, and we have to leave a thousand people to monitor the Chinese, and the Wahu soldiers are close to five thousand." ”

Edward said: "We only need to use 3,000 men, bring all the muskets to attack the Vahu barracks, and the other 1,000 men go to surround the Wahu Palace, and then concentrate our efforts on attacking the palace when the barracks are settled." ”

Hearing Edward's proposal, Lawrence also felt that it was more feasible, he nodded and said, "That's all it takes, just listen to you, we'll do it tonight." ”

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the Bostonians began to move quietly, and in order to ensure victory, they secretly recruited all the Bostonians on Oahu, including all the workers on the plantations of more than twenty Boston manor owners, and some Boston merchants' guards, etc., and barely cobbled together a team of 5,000 people.

Zhang Jun and Liu Jinfang, the leaders of the two intelligence bureaus' special teams, took advantage of the night to climb over the high walls of the plantation and return to Huang Weizhong's plantation, while the Huang brothers were anxiously waiting for their news in the house. Seeing the two coming back, Huang Weihua hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”

Zhang Jun smiled: "Don't worry too much, the Boston people have already been dispatched, they are divided into three parts, one part of a thousand people to surround the palace, one part of three thousand people to attack the Wahu barracks, and a thousand people are monitoring us, but I have observed that some of the cold weapons used by the Boston people who are monitoring us obviously do not pay attention to us." ”

Huang Weihua said with a smile: "There are really a lot of them, and they can actually make up 5,000 people." ”

Huang Weizhong worried: "There are so many people, it seems that there are not enough of us." Huang Weizhong was worried when he thought that there were only 800 people on his side.

Liu Jinfang said with a smile: "Don't worry, although they are numerous, they are all rabble, and there are no guns, but there are three hundred guards among us, and they are all masters of the young master's family in the past, not to mention that we are calculating or unintentional, and we will definitely win." ”

Huang Weizhong said with a look of disbelief: "They sent a thousand people to monitor us, and they still call it intentional calculation?" ”

Zhang Jun said: "They are short of weapons, although they sent a thousand people over, but they all use big knives and long sticks, which is not paying attention to us, as long as we show our guns, I am afraid that they will surrender on their knees before they are beaten." ”

Liu Jinfang said: "Yes, and according to my observation, among the five thousand people I observed, no more than half of them had firearms, and they were all front-loading guns. ”

Huang Weihua said with a smile: "The opponent of such a dish really makes me feel unmotivated, let's wait until the time is ripe to set off." ”

"The time is ripe? We can just go now, and when they start fighting, we will attack. Huang Weizhong asked.

Huang Weihua said with a smile: "Big brother, don't be too anxious, we have to wait for the Wahu barracks to be captured before attacking." ”

Zhang Jun said strangely: "Team leader, this is not the same as our previous plan, right?" If we wait for them to capture the barracks and then capture the queen, we won't be in a good place. ”

Huang Weizhong knew some inside information, and he explained: "Don't worry about this, there are 800 guards in the palace, and they only send 1,000 people over, obviously planning to surround it first, and then join forces to attack the palace after the Wahu barracks are wiped out, so the queen is safe for the time being." ”

Huang Weizhong then said: "But if we wait until the barracks are captured before sending troops, then the nearly 5,000 Wahu soldiers in the Wahu barracks will suffer heavy losses." "The person in charge of the barracks and Huang Weizhong are also old acquaintances, and he is a little worried about the safety of the other party.

Huang Weihua said: "That's right, I just want to make the troops of the Wahu Kingdom suffer heavy losses, only then will they have a sense of crisis and will take refuge in us." Several people listened to Huang Weihua's words and suddenly realized.

Liu Jinfang nodded and said: "That's good, then it's decided, I'll go out to investigate first, and I'll come back to report when I have news." ”

Edward, with the main force of 3,000 people, quietly touched the vicinity of the Oahu barracks, there is no concept of electric lights on Oahu at all, not even oil lamps, once it is dark here at night, there is no road at all, fortunately, those Bostonians have lived here for a long time, even if they can't see it, they won't get lost.

Edward led the men through the dark forest, and it took them two hours to get close to the Vahu barracks, not daring to light any fires. The vigilance of the Wahu soldiers was very low, they had been in peacetime for too long, and they were in their own country, and there was no existence to threaten them, so they only had two sentry posts at the entrance of the barracks, and there was no one to guard even the lookout.

Edward saw that the barracks were lax, and a smile appeared on his face: "Such a loose defense is too easy to attack, and it only takes one charge to defeat them." ”

For such a defense, Edward did not bother to take action personally, he asked an officer in charge of the troops to direct the battle. Soon, under the leadership of this officer, 1,000 men with cold weapons were in front, followed by 2,000 musketeers, and 3,000 men pulled out of formation, hunched and slowly approached the barracks.

"Someone." The two sentinels guarding the gate weren't too stupid, and they finally spotted the figure approaching in the darkness.

"Stand still, if you don't stand still, you'll shoot." Seeing that the visitor did not answer, the two sentinels became nervous. One of the sentries with his gun was about to go up to stop the incoming man, while the other immediately began to load the gunpowder and pellets into the chamber and ram them, and then took out the flint and sickle and set it on fire, intending to light the arquebus on the gun.
