One hundred and seventieth chapters Wahoo incident two
Lawrence took a few breaths and realized that he had forgotten to light the pipe. He simply put the pipe on the table and stopped caring about him. Then he stood up and turned around the room and said, "How many weapons do we have now?"
Edward thought for a while and replied, "There are about two thousand muskets, but we have more than five thousand people, and the weapons are still not enough."
Lawrence Dao bit his teeth and said, "We can't wait any longer. These weapons are enough to deal with the Oahu government forces. I'm just afraid that my neighbors will have any abnormal movements."
Edward smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I've been staring at them. They have never transported weapons. No matter how powerful they are, there are only so many Chinese people on the island, with a small number of people and no guns. I want to deal with us.
It's in vain, let alone I'll leave a thousand people staring at them."
Lawrence nodded and said, "That's good. Let's act tonight, first attack the Oahu barracks, and then occupy the palace."
Edward worried, "What if the Queen ran away when she heard the news? We'd better take action."
Lawrence sighed, "But our troops and weapons are not enough. We have to leave a thousand people to monitor the Chinese people, and the Oahu soldiers have nearly five thousand."
Edward said: "We only need to use three thousand people to bring all the muskets to attack the Oahu barracks, and another thousand people to surround the Oahu Palace. When the barracks are resolved, we will concentrate our forces to attack the palace."
Hearing Edward's proposal, Lawrence also thought it was more feasible. He nodded and said, "That's all, just listen to you, we'll do it tonight."
Taking advantage of the night, the Bostonians began to quietly move. In order to ensure victory, they secretly solicited all the Bostonians on Oahu, including all the workers in the plantations of more than twenty Boston estate owners, and some Boston merchants.
The guards and so on barely pieced together a team of five thousand people.
Zhang Jun and Liu Jinfang, the captains of the two intelligence agencies' rangers, took advantage of the night to climb over the high walls of the plantation and return to Huang Weizhong's plantation. At this time, the Huang brothers were anxiously waiting for their news in the room. Seeing the two, they saw each other.
When the person came back, Huang Weihua hurried forward and asked, "How is the situation outside?"
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. The Bostonians have already been dispatched. They have divided into three parts. One thousand people have to surround the palace, one thousand people have to attack the Oahu barracks, and one thousand people are monitoring us.
I observed some of the cold weapons used by Bostonians who monitored us, and obviously did not pay attention to us."
Huang Weihua smiled and said, "They have quite a few people, and they can actually gather 5,000 people."
Huang Weizhong worried, "We don't seem to have enough people in so many people." Huang Weizhong was worried when he thought that there were only 800 people on his side.
Liu Jinfang smiled and said, "Don't worry, although they are large, they are all mobs and there are no guns. There are 300 guards among us, and they are all masters who guard the house and the house guards in the past, let alone we are
If you have the will to make a mistake but not, you will definitely win.”
Huang Weizhong said with disbelief: "They sent a thousand people to monitor us, and they still call me ambition and unintentional?"
Zhang Jun said: "They lacked weapons. Although they sent a thousand people, they all used big swords and sticks. This is because they did not pay attention to us. As long as we showed the gun, we might kneel down and surrender before we hit them.
”
Liu Jinfang said: "Yes, and according to my observation, no more than half of them have firearms, and they all have front-loaded guns."
Huang Weihua smiled and said, "I really feel that my opponent is so delicious. Let's wait until the time is right before setting off."
"The time is ripe? Let's just set off now. We will attack when they fight." Huang Weizhong asked.
Huang Weihua smiled and said, "Brother, don't be too anxious. We have to wait until the Oahu barracks are captured before attacking."
Zhang Jun said strangely: "The team leader is different from our previous plan, right? If we wait until they capture the barracks and then capture the queen, we will be out of the way."
Huang Weizhong knew some internal news, and he explained: "Don't worry about this. There is an 800 guard in the palace. They only sent a thousand people over. Obviously, they planned to encircle the place first and wait until the Oahu camp was
After the elimination, we will join forces to attack the palace, so the queen is safe for the time being."
Huang Weizhong then said, "But when the barracks are captured and sent troops, then the nearly 5,000 Wahu soldiers in the barracks will not 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 other party's safety.
.
Huang Weihua said: "That's right, I just want to cause heavy losses to the forces of the Oahu Kingdom. Only in this way can they have a sense of crisis and surrender to us." After hearing Huang Weihua's words, several people suddenly realized.
Liu Jinfang nodded and said, "This is good, so let's settle it. I'll go out to investigate first, and come back to report when there is news."
Edward, with his main force of three thousand people, quietly touched the vicinity of the Oahu barracks. There was no concept of electric lights on Oahu Island, and there was not even oil lamps. Once it was at night, it would be dark and there was no road at all. OK
All those Bostonians have lived here for a long time, and even if they can't see it, they won't get lost.
Edward led his men through the dark forest, and did not dare to light any fire, so they took two hours to get to the Oahu barracks. The Oahu soldiers were very cautious, and they
It was too long in peace, and it was in its own country that there was no existence that could threaten itself. Therefore, they only had two posts at the barracks, and no one was guarding them on the watchtower.
Seeing that the barracks were lax in defense, Edward showed a smile on his face: "It's too easy to attack like this, just a charge can defeat them."
Edward was too lazy to take action personally for such a defense. He asked an officer in charge of the army to command the battle. Soon, under the leadership of this officer, a thousand people holding cold weapons were in front, and two thousand fired
The gunman then pulled out three thousand men and arched their waists and slowly approached the barracks.
"Who?" The sentry guarding the two gates were not too stupid. They finally discovered the figure gradually approaching in the darkness.
"Stop, if you don't stop, just shoot." Seeing the visitor, the two sentries became nervous. One sentry held a gun and was about to go up to stop the visitor, while the other immediately began to load gunpowder and projectiles into the chamber.
He tamped the fire, then took out the flint scythe and fired, trying to ignite the fuse on the gun.
