!”

The leading officer looked at Prince Rupert and said.

"What's the use of knowing one person? More than 30,000 people are stationed outside the city. Is it possible that I want to use these 100 people to touch these 30,000 people?

This is impossible. Even if the weapons used by the 100 people I lead are extremely powerful, there is no way they can compete with 30,000 people. Even if there are 30,000 pigs, I can't wipe them all out in a short while!"

Prince Rupert retreated.

"Actually, to tell you the truth, I led almost a thousand soldiers stationed outside the city. I went into the city on business today. Since I didn't have any food, I had some food at this restaurant!

I am stationed in the south of the city. I am familiar with most of the officers stationed in the south of the city, but I don’t have the one you mentioned. However, because of military orders, I only know where I am stationed. As for the others, I also

I only know a rough idea!"

The leading officer doubted Prince Rupert's identity again and started talking to himself.

Prince Rupert's eyes lit up instantly.

The officer in front of him was very much in line with Prince Rupert's goals.

The one hundred men led by Prince Rupert are most suitable for dealing with one thousand men.

Prince Rupert had a smile on his face, looking familiar.

"I didn't expect you to be stationed in the south of the city. Oh, I really didn't expect it.

Well, I happen to have nothing to do, how about I go with you?

Maybe I really remembered it wrong, and there really was no such person as Smith!

Supplies are shipped to everyone. If you don’t mind it, why don’t I ship the supplies to you people first?!”

Prince Rupert looked at them with a smile.

When the leading officer heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Okay, but what about the Earl of Essex?" the leading officer asked.

Prince Rupert waved his hand indifferently, "The Earl of Essex and I are old acquaintances and old friends. What does that matter? They are all soldiers of the Parliament anyway. They are the same to everyone. The worst is if I run away more.

Several trips, and these materials are free of charge. I support the parliamentary army and specially donated them."

Prince Rupert said he was selfless and used non-existent supplies to fool the officer in front of him.

"Thank you, thank you very much!" the officer thanked him hurriedly.

In this world, most people like to take advantage, whether in the East or the West. This is exactly what the officer in front of me is like.

"If that's the case, then go to your station first!"

Prince Rupert said as he stood up and walked out the door.

The leading officer asked: "Don't you want to eat? You won't eat."

"Meals can be eaten at any time, but supplies must be delivered in time!"

Prince Rupert said as he walked out of the restaurant.

The leading officer saw that Prince Rupert had already walked out and did not hesitate.

Not long after, Prince Rupert followed the leading officer towards his station.

The leading officer found several carriages when leaving the city, and then drove Prince Rupert and his party towards his station.

After walking for almost two hours, we finally arrived at the officer's station.

This is in a forest southwest of Northampton. The area is deserted and there is almost nothing. The camp is simply set up in the forest.

The carriage stopped in front of the camp. Prince Rupert jumped off the carriage. He stood in front of the camp and looked at the camp in front of him. He said secretly: "No wonder I didn't find any movement along the way. The camp was originally set up."

In a place like this, if you don’t have a special guide, it might be really difficult to find it.”

The officer also jumped down from the carriage. He patted Prince Rupert on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You should remember the road. When will the supplies be delivered?"

Most of the officers and soldiers in the parliamentary army are landless farmers, handicraftsmen or unemployed workers. This kind of people's desire for wealth is far beyond ordinary people. Although the man in front of him is an officer, he is still very eager for supplies.

, and it doesn’t cost money anyway.

"I've already memorized the road. If that's the case, I'll leave first. I think I can deliver the supplies tonight or tomorrow morning!" Prince Rupert nodded.

"Why don't you go in and sit for a while?"

The officer pointed inside the camp.

Prince Rupert shook his head and said: "I won't do it anymore, the task is important!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after about ten minutes, Prince Rupert led his entourage and walked outside.

From beginning to end, at the beginning, the officer had some doubts about Prince Rupert's identity, but when Prince Rupert revealed the living habits of the Earl of Essex, the officer became wary of Prince Rupert.

My heart relaxed a lot.

After all, a large number of soldiers in the parliamentary army were farmers, workers, handicraft practitioners, etc. a while ago, and had not undergone systematic training.

If you are a well-trained soldier, you will definitely not believe what Prince Rupert said easily.

On the way back, Prince Rupert tried his best to write down the road.

"These one thousand people are just enough. Let's do surgery on these one thousand of you tonight!" Prince Rupert's face was full of excitement. Now he can't wait for the night to come.

Fortunately, there are a large number of people in the parliamentary army who are stragglers. They fight without any organization and are not real soldiers. Otherwise, it is impossible not to discover Prince Rupert and the others.

The troublemakers of this era were actually not very powerful. In the current country, except for the small number of troops in the hands of Charles I, Parliament did not have a standing army.

Although there are many soldiers in the parliament, most of them are militiamen and have no military training.

Moreover, most of the parliamentary officers were cautious and incompetent, and were inferior to the king's officers.

Historically, in the early days of the Civil War, most of the parliamentary army, especially the grassroots officers, were useless and did not even know how to conduct military operations.

Among the parliamentary armies, only the armies led by Cromwell and Fairfax have some combat effectiveness. As for the other armies, they haven't even trained for a few days. What can they be expected to do?

So it's not surprising that Prince Rupert's operations above were successful.

When Prince Rupert returned to his station, it was just getting dark.

The one hundred soldiers led by Prince Rupert were stationed in the southern suburbs of Northampton.

There is no way that Shit Trouble can compare with the East. No matter in later generations or now, the population is very small, especially now, the number of people is even smaller.

As the conflict between Charles I and Parliament continued to deepen, the situation became increasingly tense.

When the Parliamentary army came to Northampton, the residents near Northampton fled.

As a result, empty rooms were left, and the suburbs south of Northampton were also completely empty.

The parliamentary army was mixed, and the scouts sent out at night were pitiful and had almost no effect. In addition, the number of people led by Prince Rupert was not large, so no one knew that Prince Rupert had arrived.

Northampton.

The sky turned completely dark. Prince Rupert rode a war horse and led his people towards the officer's station.

This time with the war horse, Prince Rupert was very fast, and he arrived in the forest surrounding the officer's station in a short time.

Prince Rupert did not rush to attack. Instead, he asked the men he led to jump off their horses, tie their horses to the surrounding trees, and then hide in the woods.

I don't know when a few dark clouds came and covered the moon in the sky. It was completely dark between the sky and the earth, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Attacking at this time is a stupid choice. Without any lighting, it is easy to lose sight of the enemy.

Prince Rupert can be regarded as a general who has experienced many battles. He knew this, so he was not in a hurry to let his soldiers attack.

Prince Rupert led the people to stay around the woods all night. When the white fish belly appeared in the east, Prince Rupert stood up from the ground. He wiped the dew on his face and took a deep breath.

Prince Rupert looked at the camp not far ahead and said loudly to his men: "Check the weapons and equipment and prepare to attack."

After the words fell, the soldiers led by Prince Rupert began to check their weapons and equipment.

After a while, the weapons inspection was completed.

Prince Rupert received a Dresser rifle from his bodyguard, and he loaded the bullet according to Professor Ho Tung Lang's method.

"Follow me forward!"

Prince Rupert said a word, then took the rifle, hunched over, and headed forward.

The distance between Prince Rupert and the camp was constantly shortening. In about ten minutes, Prince Rupert arrived a hundred meters outside the camp.

Although there were some soldiers standing guard outside the camp, these soldiers were either leaning on big trees or squatting on the ground, dazed, and did not notice the approach of Prince Rupert and his men at all.

Prince Rupert stopped, pressed his hands behind him, and whispered: "Stop."

Where Prince Rupert stopped, there happened to be a bush that could provide them with cover.

The entourage protecting Prince Rupert looked at Prince Rupert, expecting Prince Rupert's order.

"I don't want to make a sneak attack this time. I want to defeat you from the front. I want to tell you clearly that I am coming!"
