In the past two years, the large fleet of the "Eight Banners Firm" of the Qing Dynasty has passed through the periphery of Temasek, but it has never stopped in Temasek, and it has only arrived in Malacca, and all the goods have never flowed out, and have been wrapped up by the Portuguese. The Eight Banners "simply ignored the protests of the countries, as for the Portuguese East India Company, it was blindly pretending to be confused, and refused to share the profits of the goods in hand to various countries, which led to the fact that merchants from all countries wanted to get the goods of the Qing Dynasty, they had to rely on those private merchant ships that came sporadically, such as the "Chengfeng" and other two medium-sized trucks came together, which was extremely rare, no, the two Qing cargo ships had just docked, not only the British East India Company people had already waited on the dock, Most of the local merchants also came, and many merchant ships from Spain and other countries that were originally only replenishing supplies in Temasek also sent people to greet them, waiting to negotiate with the shippers from the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the Qing merchant ships arrived late, and it was almost dusk, so they could not immediately trade with all the people crowded on the docks, and they only distributed some samples and price lists, and agreed on the time of tomorrow's official transaction, and most of the merchants who rushed to the docks were sent away. Only one of the servants of a Chinese merchant took advantage of the chaos on the dock to get on the boat and was led directly to the secret room where Wang Kuan was.

"Major Chen Shuangnan, Special Operations Section of the Xiaguan Overseas Intelligence Bureau, knock on General Wang!"

As soon as he was introduced to Major General Wang Kuan, who was in charge of the sneak attack on Temasek, the man equipped by the servant immediately fell to his knees and hurriedly paid homage according to the rules of the imperial court.

"Major Chen doesn't have to be like this, can the enemy situation in the city change now?"

Although there is a huge difference in the official ranks of the two sides, it is not a system in the end, Wang Kuan will not put on a very official stand in front of Chen Shuangnan, but he has never greeted him much, and when he waved his hand, he was already straight to the topic.

"Back to General Wang's words, everything is normal, the news of the destruction of the enemy's combined fleet has not yet been transmitted, and there is no change in all military important places."

Chen Shuangnan is not the head of Temasek of the Overseas Intelligence Bureau, his nominal owner Chen Jincheng is the real host, but because he was worried that things would go wrong, Chen Jincheng did not dare to come to see Wang Kuan in person, but let Chen Shuangnan do his own thing, as a messenger, Chen Shuangnan has long been familiar with the various situations of Temasek, at this time Wang Kuan has heard Wang Kuan's question, he did not dare to ignore it, and hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Well, if that's the case, then it's better for Major Lao Chen to explain the enemy situation in detail on this map."

Wang Kuan did not comment on Chen Shuangnan's words, but nodded quietly, raised his hand, pointed to a Temasek map resting on the table, and commanded in a calm voice.

"Yes, General, please see, this is the Jeo Island (now Sentosa Island) at the port of entry, there is a fort, a total of 22 heavy artillery, 287 defenders, here is a large lighthouse, responsible for guarding the movement of all places, a squad of British soldiers is stationed, and this, is the Johor Fort, there is a fort, a total of 12 heavy artillery, 127 soldiers are stationed, the defense is the Portuguese in the direction of Malacca, as for the wall in front of the castle there are 18 heavy guns, garrisoned by a company of soldiers, It can echo the fort of Jegoo Island, and the artillery fire can cover the entire port area, and the remaining 500 soldiers of Great Britain are stationed in the barracks south of the city. ”

Since Wang Kuan had given orders, Chen Shuangnan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly strode to the table, pointed to the map, and explained the distribution of the British garrison in detail.

"Well, Major Lao Chen went back to inform Lieutenant Colonel Chen that everything would be carried out according to the scheduled plan, is there a problem?"

Wang Kuan did not inquire in detail about the garrison situation mentioned by Chen Shuangnan, but because Wang Kuan was already familiar with these materials before he set out on the expedition, not only that, but he also led his troops to exercise on the simulated field many times, and he had repeatedly deduced all aspects of the entire plan of action to capture the key passes in various places, and the reason why he asked Chen Shuangnan again was just out of caution.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Since Wang Kuan meant to expel the guests, Chen Shuangnan didn't dare to postpone any longer, so he hurriedly and respectfully saluted, exited the cabin, sneaked back to the city on his own, and discussed with Chen Jincheng not to mention it......

"To the table! It's time for the hour! ”

Yin Shi Zhengpai, the night has already been deep, the noisy dock on the day of the dead silence, all the small and small ships docked on the dock are already pitch black, only a few dead wind lamps are still shining brightly and flickering, the same is true on the "Chengfeng", but in the dark, but there are dozens of men covered with black oil mud closely lined up in the aisle of the cabin, Wang Kuan stood at the front of the queue, expressionlessly glanced at the subordinates who had already done a good job of camouflage, raised his hand, took out a pocket watch from his chest, His voice was low, and he drank in a low voice.

With Wang Kuan's order, the silent soldiers took out the pocket watch from the waterproof backpack behind their backs, adjusted the pocket watch according to the time reported by Wang Kuan, and put the pocket watch into the backpack neatly, tied the seal at the backpack, and then looked at Wang Kuan with blazing eyes.

"Let's go!"

Wang Kuan did not make any pre-war mobilization, let alone explain the tactical essentials, but just waved his hand, and gave the general order with a solemn face, and then saw a platoon of soldiers walking out of the cabin, jumping to the side of the ship like a raccoon cat, following the soft ladder that had been prepared on the side of the ship, and slowly and unhurriedly went into the water, and almost silently swam towards the Jedi Island at the port of entry.

"Smack."

After seeing the last soldier who raided Jehoku Island go into the water, Wang Kuan did not turn the cabin, but walked to the side of the ship adjacent to another cargo ship "Dongfang", and lightly slapped his palms twice, and then saw seven figures in black tight night clothes leaning out of the black cabin silently, and the first sturdy masked man quickly gestured to Wang Kuan with the help of the dim light of the air death wind lamp, He silently led a group of his men down the pre-prepared soft ladder and slid down the empty pier, sneaking in the direction of the lighthouse built on a high cliff on the left side of the port.

The cliff is extremely steep, almost straight up from the shore for more than 60 meters, the only path up the cliff is not on the harbor side, but on the other side of the cliff, you have to pass diagonally from Temasek City, and you have to pass through the British military camp on the way, obviously, if you want to follow the path to touch the cliff is not the slightest possibility, and if you want to climb the cliff, it is by no means a simple matter, but this is difficult to overcome the seven Qing Marine masters who have quietly dived under the cliff, there is no other way, Just because these seven people are all selected from the army to be absolute masters, all of them are first-class skills in the rivers and lakes, especially the leader Yan Tianming is the king of soldiers in the whole Marine Corps, a family martial arts has been close to the realm of the grandmaster, but seeing that he is carrying a sleepy thick hemp rope, he climbed up the cliff quickly with his bare hands, his body flashed, and he was as agile as an ape, as long as there was a slight water chestnut on the cliff, it was where he could borrow his strength, and in just a dozen ups and downs, people had turned over to the top of the cliff.

The lighthouse is at the highest point of Temasek, overlooking the surrounding area of more than ten nautical miles, undoubtedly has extremely important strategic significance, as a maritime power, the Britons will naturally not ignore the lighthouse and other important places, although the living conditions on the high cliff are actually very bad, but the Britons still arranged a squad of soldiers at the lighthouse to be responsible for guarding, not only the lookout at the top of the lighthouse is manned day and night, but also under the tower, no, Yan Tianming has just poked his head out from the top of the cliff, As far as I could see, I saw two tall British soldiers patrolling back and forth on the top of the cliff with rifles, and even though the night was deep, I didn't see the two soldiers slacking off at all.

Although the two British soldiers are not particularly vigilant, but they have always maintained a distance of several meters from each other, it is obviously not easy to kill the two in one fell swoop quietly, a little careless, it may alarm the soldiers on duty on the lighthouse, once it sends an alarm signal, even if the lighthouse is taken, it will inevitably affect the deployment of the entire night raid campaign, and this is obviously not a burden that Yan Tianming can bear.

"Click."

To solve the dilemma in front of him, for others, it may be more difficult than ascending to the sky, but for Yan Tianming, who has long been accustomed to assassination, it is not very difficult, but seeing him climbing on the edge of the cliff with one hand, he listened carefully for a while, and it was determined that there were only these two sentries under the lighthouse, and his heartstrings were suddenly loosened, and his empty left hand gently wiped it to the edge of the cliff, and he had picked up a small piece of gravel, and with a flick of his fingers, the gravel was shot to the other side of the cliff, and suddenly there was a soft sound in the dark night, The two startled sentinels immediately raised their guns nervously towards the sound.

"Hoo ......"

Almost at the same time as the two sentries turned around, Yan Tianming pressed the top of the cliff with his right hand, and the person had already risen into the air like a big bird, his body was in the air, his hands were wiped on his waist, and the two daggers were already in his hands, and the person flew towards the back of the sentry on the left like lightning......
