The Rise of the European Emperor

The iron gate at the exit of the sewer in Calais is not just one big iron lock, but several. It took the four team members more than two hours to corrode and break the locks and put them into the package.

Afterwards, they took out the lime powder in the oiled 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 soldiers entering and leaving, causing great damage. Acid-base neutralization releases a lot of heat. The four hurriedly avoided, and only started to deal with the iron gate after the heat passed.

The iron gate is inserted from top to bottom through the bayonet made of stone, which is very firm. Moreover, the lock is on this side of the city. It is extremely difficult to open the iron gate of the sewer from the outside. You know, the iron gate has steel bars as thick as iron bars. Even if you smash it with a big hammer, it won't move.

Before pulling out the iron door, the four of them 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 gate 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 force is too large, the sound will be too loud when the iron door is pulled out, which will easily alarm the French defenders. And pouring oil into the gap between the iron door and the stone wall can reduce 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 sound of rain, neither the patrolmen on the top of the city nor the French soldiers at the nearby post that supervised the iron gates of the sewers were aware of it.

After pulling out the iron gate, Balk, the leader of the four, bent down and entered the sewer culvert regardless of the smell. Then, he took a tube out of the package...

Pulling out one end of the pipe, the next time the discoverer turned out to be a matchlock end...

They had already prepared matchlocks, but put them in a pipe to keep out the rain. The tube has a hollow so that there is air in the tube so that the match will not go out. But after the pipe is closed, no fire can be seen outside.

Then, he took out a candle from the oil paper bag...

Gunpowder stood on the head of the candle, and when the matchstick touched it, the gunpowder ignited and lit the candle...

Then, under the cover of a small umbrella, Balk held an umbrella at the exit of the city wall of the sewer culvert, holding a candle and kept shaking it from side to side...

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

"Harrison, have you seen the flames?" Hughes, the British army captain who was about to doze off, immediately regained his spirits when he saw the candlelight swinging from side to side.

The vice-captain named Harrison was taking a nap, but after hearing what the captain said, he took a closer look.

It was found that there was indeed a flame shaking 300 meters away. So, he excitedly said:

"That's right, it's the swaying flames. This is the signal for action! Give the order, Captain!"

"Okay, all are there, let's go as a team! Be careful, don't make any noise!" Captain Hughes ordered with a suppressed voice.

Afterwards, 200 British death squads, wearing raincoats, carrying small bucklers, and sailor's machetes hanging from their waists, tiptoed down the sewer culvert.

Fortunately, the French did not find them. When they arrived, Balk threw away the candle, took out the night pearl, and squatted in the culvert to illuminate the British army.

Then, the British soldiers lined up in a long snake and crawled lightly from the culvert.

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

After Hughes waited for everyone to come in, he planned to lead someone to open the north gate, but was stopped by Balkra:

"Your Excellency, don't go to the north gate! Go to the west gate!" Balck is a Frisian, and he has no problem communicating with the British.

"Why?" Hughes puzzled.

"A lot of things have been piled up in the north gate of the city gate. You can't open the door even if you go there. You need to remove those debris first!" Balk explained.

"What? There are still debris piled up in the gate hole of the big iron gate? As for it? Is it the same for other gates?" Hughes was taken aback. If there are bricks, stones, logs and other debris piled up in the city gate, it will be over. Because it takes a lot of time to remove those sundries.

Balk shook his head and said:

"Currently, only the north gate has piled up sundries, and the gates of other gates have not. The French are the most guarded against the north gate, so they have piled up sundries. The south and west gates generally do not welcome reinforcements. piled up with debris."

"However, our army's original main attack direction is the north gate!" Hughes said depressedly.

"Then let's go to the west gate for a while, first send someone who runs fast to the north gate to inform the elite troops to rush to the west gate. Wait a minute, I will take you to capture the west gate!"

"Okay, let's do it!" After finishing speaking, Hughes sent a fast-running young man named Bolt to climb out of the city from the sewer culvert and go to the north gate to notify the assault troops.

There are a total of about 3,000 assault troops. Their task is to cooperate with the Death Squad to capture one of the city gates, and then hold the gate and wait for the large troops to enter the city. Among them, 2,000 people are elite veterans of the Beihai Kingdom...

Hughes and his men squatted under the city wall and waited for more than an hour in the rain. It was around 3 o'clock in the morning when Bolt came back to report-the commando team was already in place...

Then, Hughes and his team of 200 death-death squads, led by the four of Balk, walked along the wall towards the west gate...

Seeing that Ximen was getting closer and closer, the members of the British Death Squad all beamed with joy. They took out their bucklers one after another, and drew out their sailor machetes...

However, when approaching the west gate, an accident happened...

On the city wall, a group of French patrols are patrolling. But a French soldier named Daumenat suddenly panicked, so he approached the inner side of the city wall, untied his belt, and urinated...

Coincidentally, his urine line fell directly on the heads of the British death squads who were walking underground...

"Fa—..." Before this guy could say "gram", the French soldier Domenet, who was booing on the top of the wall, felt that something was wrong. He asked warily:

"Who?"

Then, he poked his head out and looked down...

Hughes took a bad look and immediately led the team to accelerate towards the city gate. And Domenet also saw a string of figures flickering at the base of the city wall, and then suddenly shouted:

"Someone attacked Ximen! Someone attacked Ximen! Get up and protect Ximen!"

Then, the French soldiers living in a large courtyard near the west gate were awakened...

"what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

A group of French soldiers were awakened, dressed in a panic, and raised their weapons to attack Simon.

When the 50 French soldiers who lived in the compound very close to the west gate came to the gate of the west gate, they happened to meet Hughes and his party...

Hughes made a decisive decision and shouted:

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

After finishing speaking, Hughes led a team of 100 daredevils, holding a small buckler in his left hand and a sailor's scimitar in his right, and greeted 50 French soldiers...

But these 50 people were not the only ones who were alarmed. Hundreds of French soldiers living on the upper floor of the west gate were also awakened. They also began to rush down the stairs, rushing towards Hughes and others...
