1717 New American Empire

Xiao Lin brought more than 1,500 old, young, women and children from the God of War tribe back to the company, and after throwing them to Yu Xiao who came to help him handle government affairs, he left Yanhuang First Town again. He was going to participate in a battle, a battle

It can be said to be a war that completely destroyed the Adams Family. In the remaining two places, James and Apache led troops to attack. As for the Adams Family Base in Lexington, which was the most heavily defended, Babu, who was most familiar with it, led four battalions.

and Seventh Battalion attack.

This was originally the place where the Adams family first made their fortune. However, later, as the Adams family's strength increased, they moved away from here to the big city of Boston, which was the largest city in British North America and the center of colonial rule until the middle of the 8th century.

Living here. Babu originally thought that this place was just an old house and there shouldn’t be many manpower. But who would have thought that because the Adams family was continuously attacked by Yanhuang Trading Company, the family power was greatly reduced. In order to prevent future generations from causing trouble again, everyone

Stuff them back here.

There is no one in the town of Lexington that the Adams family cannot provoke, so they will not provoke any major enemies. However, in this way, the strength of the Adams family in the town of Lexington has been greatly enhanced. Barb and the others arrived

At that time, there were already 4,000 people, occupying one-third of the entire town. Except for 1,000 servants, a few young masters and the women they brought, the other 3,000 people were the last private members of the Adams family.

Soldier strength.

Private soldiers are definitely not as good as the regular army. Not to mention the troops used to attack the Yanhuang Trading Company before, even the British garrison in the town can't compare. However, the Adams family's nest is very solidly built, eight meters high.

The three-meter-thick stone city wall protected the entire family station. On the city wall, there were thirty cannons, all of which were nine-pound and twelve-pound medium-sized cannons. The other two were under the control of the Adams family.

The cities and towns do not have this power.

In other towns, the Adams family only has the British troops under their jurisdiction as a basis for support, and will not fight to the death for them. But the family's private soldiers are different. Together with the family, they will suffer both prosperity and loss, and will not collapse or surrender easily.

The attack by Babu and others has not made much progress for several days. Fortunately, the garrison in Lexington maintained a neutral attitude and did not make any moves, otherwise Babu and others would have been forced to retreat.

After Xiao Lin found out, he naturally had no intention of retreating. He took the most elite battalion that had been converted into the Guards and set off with ten second-batch Heavy Fist II 120mm caliber artillery to the stars.

They marched towards the town of London. The white settlements on the road did not dare to act rashly against this army. The 30,000 most elite troops in the entire colony were still killing the Indians of the God of War. With insufficient strength, no one was willing to provoke a powerful enemy.

In order not to expose the arrival of reinforcements and prevent the enemy from observing the specific situation, the routine shooting did not stop. Of course, Commander Babu still left the front line to welcome Xiao Lin's arrival. Because things did not go well, Babu

He was also very guilty, and he came to the war horse Xiao Lin was riding with a cautious attitude. He took the horse's rope respectfully, and said hello with a somewhat frightened tone.

"Boss, you are welcome to guide the work."

Xiao Lin couldn't stand the girls' chirping behavior, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Okay, don't make such a gesture to me. After all, you are also a battalion commander. This time, you did not underestimate the enemy's strength. It was an intelligence error. It is none of your business, and I will not blame you."

"Yes, thank you boss, but I still have to take some responsibility. Logically speaking, we can still defeat each other."

"With a one-to-five numerical ratio and large-caliber artillery, you want to risk the lives of my soldiers. Okay, let's go to the headquarters and brief me on the current situation."

Since Xiao Lin did not blame, Babu gradually calmed down. Babu and the others have been fighting with the Adams family for a week, and both sides have hurt each other. The Adams family retreated into the city wall from the beginning. The small town of Lexington

Although the people did not join the battle, they still provided them with daily necessities. In order not to expand the war and cause worse consequences, Barb did not let anyone break into the town of Lexington, but only focused on the Adams family.

This is also the strategy Xiao Lin has set before. In this world, no force is monolithic. At this time, they will have nothing to do if they attack the Adams family. Once they attack other forces, it will cause a counterattack by all the British, and the company is afraid that

However, they don't have much time. God of War and the others can hold off the 55,000 British and French allied forces for half a month at most. Including the time for return, they only have one month left. During this month,

There is still a week left for them to get home.

Fortunately, the convoy soldiers are equipped with mountain bikes, and the artillery is also pulled by four-wheel off-road motorcycles, otherwise the time would have to be extended. Previously, the entire convoy only had five heavy-punch type II artillery pieces, and Babu only had one in his hand.

There was no way to do it with the thick stone wall, but this time Xiao Lin brought over ten guns that had just left the factory. Some small guns captured from the British army withdrew from the artillery position, and the ten heavy guns began to enter.

Relying on advanced weapons, 571 guard soldiers who still maintained full combat effectiveness suppressed the remaining 2,500 or so private soldiers of the Adams family so that they did not dare to take the lead. There are also some dudes here, and not many can take charge.

As for the overall situation, just an old housekeeper thinks about it

The results were not very comprehensive, and no debugging of the Heavy Fist Type 2 was found at all. There was no interference, and the artillerymen carried out aiming and loading operations in an orderly manner. From time to time, a shell was fired from the stone wall and hit the fortifications, bang bang.

It made a noise, but still failed to break through the fortifications.

Only 12-pounder cannons can cause damage to fortifications, but every exposed 12-pounder cannon was closely guarded by snipers. The gunners were killed one by one, and all the operators of the five 12-pounder cannons were worried.

Hiding under the battlements to rest and chat, it seems

They thought the stone wall beneath them was indestructible. Until, after eleven dull loud noises, the hearts of everyone on the stone wall almost jumped out of their chests. Eleven solid steel bullets with a diameter of 120 mm hit the city wall.

There was a shocking loud noise.

The entire town of Lexington felt it. They had passed the 120mm cannon, but there was only one before. Unless they fired at close range, it was impossible to hit a single point accurately. In addition, the Adams family members kept firing

After reinforcement and repair, there is not much effect. However, if the eleven doors are used together, they can fire continuously on a fixed area. This is not something that the Adams family can repair in time. Therefore, more than two thousand private soldiers are

It's fried.

The old housekeeper quickly asked people to push the bullet-proof shields made of door panels used to prevent sniper fire up the city wall and placed them on both sides of the twelve-pounder cannon. These bullet-proof shields are quite good. The main body is a solid door panel in the family, and the outside is covered with a layer of The thickness of the rattan reaches 30 centimeters. The Yanhuang Type 1 (Chinese official) rifle is not known for its penetrating power like the Type 38, and it cannot penetrate the bulletproof shield with one shot. Relying on these bulletproof shields, the twelve-pounder cannon I can finally show off my power.

At this time, even Babu and Xiao Lin did not expect that the company had a small number of people, and the army also adhered to the elite soldier system. In order to ensure the safety of the soldiers, the artillery and attacking infantry began to retreat. Today's attack can only be temporary. Stop. The previous artillery position, which Babu thought had suppressed the Adams family's artillery, was only 900 meters away from the city wall. The twelve-pounder cannon could accurately hit the target 900 meters away, so the artillery position had to be pushed back.

Fortunately, the artillery position that Babu built at a distance of 1,200 meters still exists and can be used after reinforcement. 1,200 meters is still an accurate and effective range for the Heavy Fist II, but for the Adams Family's 12 This is not necessarily the case with pounder artillery. In particular, those who operate them are not well-trained regular army artillery. At a distance of 1,200 meters, the shooting accuracy is greatly reduced. However, it will have to wait until the next day. Babu is also planning to organize new artillery. During the construction of the position, Xiao Lin's messenger came over and called him to the headquarters.

"Barb, are you familiar with the people in Lexington Town?"

As soon as Babu entered, he was stopped by Xiao Lin. He had been to Lexington more than once, but he had never been back since he joined the company after defeating the army and took away Sam Dean and the family members of those veterans. In the past, he even knew the mayor of Lexington, but after so long, he didn't know how much Lexington had changed, so he couldn't guarantee it.

"Well, I'm not sure if the person I know is still there."

"It doesn't matter. Tonight, take a few people with you, approach the town, and find a way to talk to the mayor. The entire town has been providing resources to the Adams family, and it will be a bit difficult to defeat them. Maybe at this time, Reinforcements are already on the way. We must break through here within five days and then go home. Since the person who has been serving as the mayor here is not a member of the Adams family, we can give up some of the benefits."

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

There is nothing Xiao Lin can do about it. Lexington still has a population of more than 8,000 and a garrison of 1,000 people. Even if they do not join the battle, it will be a big trouble to continue to provide logistics to the Adams family. If it takes a long time , I am afraid it will only return in vain. The Yanhuang Trading Company also knows that the mayor of Lexington has never been the Adams family. This is also Charlie's method to prevent the Adams family from completely controlling the entire town. Since he has chosen to favor Sexual neutrality, I don’t care if I look at it completely.

What Xiao Lin had in hand was to bribe the people in Lexington. In their eyes, the money and antiques of the Adams family were probably not as good as the company's products.
