Fighting at night is a great test of the quality of the soldiers, and the soldiers who are of inferior quality can easily bomb the battalion and go crazy under the dual effect of darkness and fear. Therefore, even after successfully fighting several night raids, Marin still did not dare to be careless, and conducted night raid adaptation training for the army for several days.

In fact, Marin's 1st Regiment was very well adapted to field warfare, and they followed Marin in many major battles, and night raids were pediatric. Moreover, their daily training includes night raids and counter-night raids. However, Saqqara's Fourth Army was not so experienced, and only once did it attack the Bossa coalition army under the leadership of the Schleswig Army. Although successful, it was also somewhat risky at the time.

The main thing, in fact, was the problem of night coordination between the 1st and 4th Army Corps. After all, there were two corps, one German-speaking and one English-speaking. If coordination is not good, it is easy to accidentally injure each other at night when visibility is low. It doesn't happen during the day, but at night it doesn't happen. Therefore, Marin's night raid training in the past few days is not basic training, but coordination training between the two major army corps at night. To this end, Marlin specially arranged for a dozen Frisians, who knew both German and English-like Frisian, to act as a shouting coordinator between the two legions.

Fortunately, there were quite a few Frisian officers in the English regiment in Saqqara, who already knew both German and English, so this kind of night coordination training could be completed in three or four days.

At this time, the offensive and defensive battle of York City had been fought for eleven days. Marin felt that the recruits of the Fifth Legion in the city were almost trained, so he decided to officially start the night raid.

Early in the morning of the twelfth day, the two legions began to move in the direction of Yorktown. That evening, we arrived in the jungle west of Yorktown.

After a simple meal of brown bread prepared long ago, the soldiers began to rest, preparing to attack in the second half of the night.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers were called up by the officers, and they got dressed and prepared to go. I looked at the sky, it was half moon at this time, and although the light was small, it was better than no light. You must know that in order to ensure the success of the night attack, the army cannot advance with torches. Otherwise, it is easy to be spotted and warned by enemy sentries from a distance. Therefore, the first principle of the night attack is to choose to march under the conditions of moonlight. Of course, if it is like the Fornovo ambush, lying in ambush on the top of the slope and waiting for the enemy to pass, then that's another story. Because there is no need to march, it doesn't matter if there is moonshine or not.

By the faint moonlight, the soldiers, led by the officers, cautiously touched the British camp......

The layout of the British camp is still the same old - the slanted wooden stakes are always the standard on the perimeter of the camp. Because of the large number of troops and the fact that they thought they were strong, this time the outside of the British army camp did not even bother to dig a tunnel, so the oblique wooden stakes characteristic of the British army were retained. As a result, Marin's army saved a lot of trouble. For example, there is no need to fill in the pits.

In order to open the fence of the British army, and at the same time to create great chaos for the British army, Marin put the royal demolition team, Doni . Ciri and dozens of his professional subordinates also brought it over.

Dhoni. Ciri personally led the team and commanded his subordinates to select several weak points defended by the British army, and sent people to bury powder kegs under the fence. Because it was professional, it only took an hour for all five teams to complete the burial of the powder kegs without alarming the British troops......

Marin then had a fire lit in a hidden place, lit five fire ropes, and hid them in a breathable wooden box for the Demomen to take back to the British fence. At the same time, the army was divided into five routes, and they also followed the demolition team forward......

Around 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky was not yet dawn, the moon was still in the sky, but the east was already slightly white - it was July, and it would be bright at four o'clock.

Upon arriving at the intended location, the Demomen in all five locations began to light at the same time as a Kong Ming lantern rose into the sky......

"Boom-boom-boom-" Five loud noises came at the same time, shaking the earth......

All the soldiers in the British camp were awakened, and even the defenders of York City were awakened.

"What's going on? What's wrong? Many British soldiers inquired with panicked expressions.

However, before they could get the exact news, there were shouts of killing from all around the camp......

Henry. Percy was taken aback - didn't I send a sentry in the direction of Yorktown? How can there be a night attack?

Henry. Percy was not unprepared, and in order to prevent the city's troops from attacking at night or fleeing at night, he sent a dozen scouts to monitor the four gates of York City overnight. However, he didn't expect that there would be enemies behind him......

So, after being awakened, Henry. The first thing Percy did was go out and inquire about the situation......

However, at this time, the whole battalion was confused by the shouts of the enemy, how could he find out anything useful? The most correct thing to do is to give a loud order to stabilize the army and organize resistance in a concentrated manner in the barracks.

But, Henry. Percy is only 27 years old and relatively immature. Moreover, he had never encountered a habitual night raid like Marin, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to the matter of preventing night raids. If it were the old rivals of Marin on the German side, they would definitely be on guard at night. Now, because of the fear of Marin's night attack, the armies of many German states are specially equipped with watchdogs to help keep vigil. In the event of a night attack, even if the sentry can't detect it, the watchdog can feel it...... So, in Germany, the night raids of Marin are becoming more and more difficult to mix, but in England, because the night raids are not pandemic, the prevention is not in place......

"The enemy is coming! Run for your life! ”

"Yes, a lot of people! We can't beat it, everyone run away! ”

In the darkness, this very demoralizing shout was heard...... That's right, it was arranged by Marin. The soldiers of the Fourth Legion are basically English, and when they shout, they are naturally authentic English accents.

In the confusion, the English soldiers couldn't see who shouted, so they naturally thought it was their own people who shouted. Therefore, some officers were originally going to organize resistance on their own. However, being demoralized by this demagogic shouting directly confused the morale of the army. As a result, the ill-prepared English soldiers began to scurry around like headless flies......

And Marin's army is led by all sword and shield soldiers. When you see someone, you smash it with a wooden shield, and when you see someone holding a weapon, you directly stab him......

Marin had previously given an order - when he saw the British soldiers without weapons, he smashed them with wooden shields and drove them to charge the enemy camp. If you encounter someone with a weapon and you know how to resist, you will kill them with a knife......

The British officers and men who rushed out without having time to pick up their weapons rushed to the camps that had formed a defensive formation under the command of the officers under the deliberate drive of Marin's men......

At this time, the British army camp was full of chaos. However, there are also some capable officers. After they woke up, they knew that something was wrong, and instead of rushing to find the commander, they decisively ordered the soldiers around them to find weapons, and then moved closer to them and formed a defensive formation. In addition, the formation was also maintained in the direction of the manager's tent.

But how could the army of Marin, who had attacked by surprise, give them a chance to gather? Under the deliberate drive of the sword and shield soldiers, many British soldiers who ran around without weapons involuntarily rushed towards those orderly enemy small phalanxes, blocking their way to the center......
