Chapter 1741: Seize the door

The iron gates at the sewer outlet of Calais were not just one big iron lock, but several. It took more than two hours for the four team members to corrode several locks and put them in the package.

Afterwards, they took out the lime powder in the oil paper bag and sprinkled it on the ground to neutralize the strong acid residue on the ground, so as not to get on the skin of the British troops entering and leaving, causing huge damage. Acid and alkali neutralization releases a lot of heat. The four quickly avoided it, and waited for the hot air to pass before they began to deal with the iron gate.

The iron gate is inserted from the top of the bayonet made of stone and is very firm. Moreover, the lock is on this side of the city. It is extremely difficult to open the sewer iron gate from the outside. You know, the iron gate is as thick as steel bars. Even if it is smashed with a big hammer, it will not move.

In front of pulling out the iron gate, the four first took out two bottles. The bottle contained linseed oil. After opening the bottle, they poured the linseed oil directly into the gap between the iron door and the stone wall. The reason for this is to reduce the friction between the iron gate and the stone wall. Because if the friction is too great, the sound will be too loud when the iron door is pulled out, which is easy to alarm the French defenders. And pouring oil in the gap between the iron door and the stone wall can reduce the friction and minimize the sound when the iron door is pulled out ...

Sure enough, after pouring two bottles of oil, the sound of pulling up the iron door became very small. Under the cover of the rain, neither the patrols on the city's head nor the French soldiers in the nearby post responsible for monitoring the iron gates of the sewers were aware of them.

After pulling out the iron gate, Barker, the leader of the four, disregarded the smell and fell into the sewer culvert. Then he took a tube from the package ...

Pull out the end of the tube, and the discoverer turned out to be a matchlock head ...

They had already prepared the fire rope, but they put it in a tube to protect it from rain. There is a hole in the tube, so that there is air in the tube, so that the fire rope will not be extinguished. But after closing the tube, there was no fire outside.

Then he took another candle out of the paper bag ...

Gunpowder stood on the head of the candle, and the head of the fire rope touched it. The gunpowder burned at once, and the candle was lit ...

Then, under the cover of a small umbrella, Barker held an umbrella at the exit outside the city wall of the sewer culvert, holding a candle and swaying left and right outside ...

And 300 meters away from the sewer culvert exit, a group of British soldiers wearing rubber raincoats from the North Sea country were quietly lying there.

"Harrison, did you see the firelight?" Hughes, the British army chief who was dozing fast, saw the candlelight swaying from side to side, and immediately came to spirit.

The deputy captain named Harrison was originally dozing off. After hearing the captain's words, he took a closer look and found that there was indeed a flicker of fire 300 meters away. So he was excited:

"Yes, it's the flickering fire, this is the code of action! Order it, Captain!"

"Okay, all of them, the whole team starts! Be careful, don't make a noise!" Captain Hughes ordered, pressing his voice.

Afterwards, the 200 British Army Scorpion, wearing a raincoat, carrying a small round shield, and a sailor machete hanging around his waist, crept down to the sewer culvert.

Fortunately, the French did not find them. When they arrived, Balke threw away the candles, took out the night pearl, and crouched in the culvert to light up the British army.

Then, the British soldiers lined up in a long snake, crawling lightly through the culvert.

After entering the city, they crouched quietly against the corner of the wall, for fear of being discovered by the French patrol on the wall.

After Hughes and all others came in, he planned to take someone to open the North Gate, but was lived by Barkla:

"Your Excellency, don't go to the north gate! Go to the west gate!" Balke is a Frisian, and it's no problem to communicate with the British.

"Why?" Hughes puzzled.

"A lot of things have been piled up in the gate of the North Gate. You can't open the door when you go. You need to remove the debris first!" Barker explained.

"What? There are still debris in the gate gate of the Great Iron Gate? As for? Is it true of other gates?" Hughes was surprised. If debris such as masonry logs is piled up in the Shing Mun cave, it will be over. Because it will take a lot of time to remove those debris.

Balke shook his head:

"At present, only debris has accumulated in the north gate, and the other gates have not yet. The French have the strictest defense against the north gate, so they have accumulated debris. The south gate and the west gate have to meet the reinforcements. Accumulated debris. "

"However, our army's original main direction of attack was the north gate!" Hughes said depressed.

"Then we are going to Ximen later, we will send a fast runner near the North Gate to inform the elite troops to rush to Ximen. Wait a moment, I will take you to seize Simon!"

"Okay, let's do it!" After that, Hughes sent a fast-moving guy named Bolt out of the sewer culvert and went to the north gate to inform the assault troops.

There are about 3,000 assault troops. Their task is to cooperate with the death squads, seize one of the city gates, and then hold the city gates and wait for the big troops to enter the city. Inside, there are 2,000 people who are elite veterans of Beihai ...

Hughes and his men squatted under the wall and waited for more than an hour to dry in the rain. At around 3 am, Bolt came back to report-the commando was in place ...

Then, Hughes and his team of 200 squad members, led by the four of Barker, touched the direction of Simon along the wall ...

Seeing Simon getting closer and closer, the members of the British Death Squad all looked happy. They took out the small round shields and pulled out the sailor scimitar ...

However, as we approached Simon, an accident happened ...

On the wall, a team of French patrols was patrolling. But a French soldier named Domene suddenly became anxious, so he approached the inner side of the city wall, untied his belt and peeed down ...

As it happens, his urine line fell directly on the head of the British Death Squad walking underground ...

"Fa -..." Before this guy could say "G", the French soldier Domene booed in the city's head felt wrong. He asked cautiously:

"Who?"

Then he leaned out and looked down ...

When Hughes looked bad, he immediately led the team and rushed towards the gate. And Domene also saw a series of figures flashing at the root of the city wall, and suddenly shouted:

"Someone attacked Simon! Someone attacked Simon! Hurry up and protect Simon!"

Then ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The French general who lived in a large yard near Ximen was awakened ...

"what happened?"

A bunch of French soldiers were awakened, dressed in panic, and raised their arms to Simon.

When the 50 French soldiers who lived in the compound near Ximen came to the gate of Ximen, they met Hughes and his party ...

Hughes took the initiative and shouted:

"The second team went to open the city gate, the first team of warriors, follow me to meet the enemy!"

Having said that, Hughes took a team of 100 deadly members, holding a small round shield on the left and a sailor scimitar on the right, and greeted 50 French soldiers ...

But it was not just these 50 people who were disturbed. Hundreds of French soldiers living on the gate of Ximen City were also awakened. They also started to rush down the stairs to Hughes and others ...
