Chapter 705: Turnaround

Hubble didn't know about the internal meeting of the New Holy United Kingdom Army.

In fact, he was partly in a gambling mentality, not that the other party would be careless, but that the combat effectiveness of both sides was very close under the cover of night.

There was no exchange of fire with the enemy for two days, and getting close again was a gamble.

Hubble personally went into battle and lurked outside the New Holy United Kingdom's base step by step.

This was an immigrant village before, but with the evacuation of personnel, it has now become a temporary base for the enemy.

From the choice of base, we can also see the thinking of the New Holy United Kingdom Army.

If they want to continue to cause destruction at all costs, they should choose to go deeper.

Now not only did they not continue to go deep into the hinterland of the Daxia Colony, but they also chose a more comfortable environment.

They may want to stay comfortably for one last night, and after today, they will start a hard life of escape.

If we only think from the perspective of the soldiers of the New Holy United Kingdom, they have been winning battles, and they have won difficult battles and made all efforts.

But suddenly they have to start running for their lives, and the psychological gap is very large.

If the officers don't let them relax a little, this may be a hidden danger on the way to escape.

In victory, all contradictions can be covered up.

But in failure, even breathing may be wrong.

Mutiny is not a new thing.

It can be said that for Hubble, the right time, right place and right people are all on his side.

But at this time, Hubble didn't know that he was taking a risk with an adventurous mentality.

"There is an observation post ahead!"

The old sergeant touched over and pointed at the dark tree.

Hubble's eyes widened. He was also an old hunter, but his ability in this aspect was not as good as these veterans.

Especially in the dark night, those tools naturally have an extra layer of cover color.

But he believed in the old sergeant's eyesight and said immediately: "I will send someone to try and let everyone prepare for the charge."

If this kind of observation post can be wiped out quietly, it would be better.

But if it alarmed others, then it would be a direct attack, no loss.

Soon, a scout came close, making no sound in the dark night.

Everything went well, and God was on Hubble's side today.

When approaching within 50 meters of the village, scattered lights illuminated the main places, and the number of soldiers on guard increased.

To approach silently again would be pure wishful thinking.

Reality is not a novel. It is impossible for a single person to break into the central army tent, let alone so many people.

A false sneak attack, sneaking into the core hinterland, a single strike to the soul.

A real sneak attack... fire the cannon.

One of the only two artillery pieces in Hubble's hand has been written off, and the remaining one has few shells left.

And in terms of service life, it is estimated that it will not be used many times.

High-load use and unsparing squandering of shells will sharply shorten the life of the weapon.

But at least now, this meritorious infantry gun can still play a role.

When the orange-red flames shot up into the sky, Hubble stood up and fired his pistol at the front.

"Charge!"

Then hundreds of soldiers began to attack according to the order.

A small number of guards of the New Holy United Kingdom looked at the enemy rushing over in a panic, and then the artillery exploded beside them.

The quiet night suddenly became noisy.

The whole village was suddenly passed.

The reaction of the army of the New Holy United Kingdom was considered fast. After all, it was impossible to be too forgetful when behind the enemy.

The soldiers picked up the weapons beside the bed and rushed out of the residence directly.

But there is one thing that is very fatal. When stationed before, they rested in tents as a unit.

But today, they live in the houses of villagers.

In principle, it is the welfare and comfort given by officers to soldiers to cope with the upcoming wandering and fleeing life.

But at this time, it is very fatal.

The scattered living makes it difficult to organize.

When it is a race against time, the faster the party, the greater the advantage.

If you procrastinate, you will only suffer a painful blow.

Hubble was surprised at the enemy's slowness, but this was good news for him.

When Hubble rushed into the village at the tail end, he immediately began to command the guards around him.

"Set fire, set fire."

Since it was a surprise attack, it was natural to create greater chaos.

Disrupting the enemy's organization would not be far from victory.

The combat effectiveness of an organized army and an unorganized army is not at the same level.

When the fire began to spread, it was a countdown to collapse for the army of the New Holy United Kingdom.

The pressure caused by multiple factors broke out together, and the officers could not find their soldiers for a while.

The chaos turned into a rout, and then it was out of control.

Their dream of escaping home ended before it even began.

On the contrary, the militia, which had average morale, suddenly became like chicken blood.

Victory is the best stimulant. They have been passively beaten, but now they have suddenly turned the tables, and the joy of harvest is several times greater.

The pursuit lasted until dawn, and the excited militia returned one after another.

Hubble didn't need to count to see that the casualties were few.

After all, it was a victory, and except for the initial losses, the subsequent losses were very minor.

Everyone had a smile on their face. The fatigue of a night was nothing. Everyone greeted Hubble with a smile.

He was sure that he had won.

This was a gamble that was not in line with his character, but he won.

Perhaps for the Great Xia Empire Expeditionary Force, it would not make much difference whether to defeat this doomed army today or to defeat it in the pursuit.

But for Hubble, it was very meaningful.

At this time, Hubble felt tired. He leaned against the wall and ordered the guards around him: "Take a rest, find a few brothers who still have energy to go back and contact the headquarters."

Next, it was the aftermath.

Two days later, Franz, who got the news, came here in person with an army.

To be honest, when he learned about Hubble's results, he thought he had heard it wrong.

After all, it was always the news that Hubble was suppressed and beaten, and even lost contact in the end.

Who knew that he only won once and completely turned the tables in one go.

Although the last blow was a bit risky, winning is winning.

Luck is never despised.

When I saw Hubble again, his image had completely changed.

He hadn't shaved his beard for a long time, and his clothes were ragged and tattered, not decent anymore.

Franz got off his horse excitedly, walked directly to Hubble, and shouted happily: "Good boy, you really didn't embarrass me, you are rich this time... I promise you, your future is bright."

Do the right thing at the right time and get the best reward.

Obviously, Hubble seized the rare opportunity this time.

He won ten thousand times, but it was not as good as showing his face once at this time.
