1717 New American Empire

The Apaches led the second battalion and captured a town of more than 6,000 people in just two hours. Basically, no civilians reacted and fled. With a population of several thousand, the Apaches would be fine next

It has been arranged. In this world, the person who does not treat pounds as money the most is the company. There is a printing assembly line and they can print as much as they want. All the men in their prime are temporarily hired to help the army build fortifications, and they are paid one pound a day.

For most civilians in the town, having three meals a day is a good thing that they never dream of.

Relying on nearly two thousand civilian men, the town's defenses were restored and strengthened the next morning. Xiao Lin, who was sitting behind him, was also inspired by the Apache's actions and asked each battalion to take measures.

The same measure. After three days of continuous construction, the fortifications will be enough to deal with the first wave of British reinforcements. There will definitely be reinforcements coming later, and the scale and elite level will increase significantly. However, there will be more time later, and they can be built.

More and stronger fortifications.

Especially with machine guns, you can build a defensive weapon that is unimaginable in this era, machine gun bunkers. Even if the firepower is lacking due to the small number of machine guns, there are no breech-loaded heavy guns, no wooden handle grenades, no tank flamethrowers, etc. that can cause damage to the bunker.

There was nothing the British could do with this weapon. Xiao Lin also went ruthless this time. Thirty rotating machine guns were mobilized by him. Three guns were divided into one battalion, but in order to prevent a large number of damage

, let the soldiers try not to use it.

The company escort has completed the battle, and all ten British settlements have been captured. The rest is naturally a matter for the Charles family and the trader tribe. The five targets left for them are not

What a big goal, the largest settlement

The population is only 3,000, and the militia is only about 500. The armies of the Trader tribe and the Charles family have been strengthened by Xiaolin. The infantry firepower has all been replaced by Holler M1819 breech-loading rifles, and the artillery has also been replaced.

It is a heavy-hitting front-loading rifled gun that was eliminated by the company.

More importantly, they absorbed the advanced training experience of some company escorts, allowing their army to undergo a qualitative transformation. This battle is extremely important to both forces, and it is even related to whether the two major forces can continue to exist.

.As long as you capture these five settlements, build fortifications, and block the British counterattack, you can officially join the Yanhuang Trading Company. Although the military treatment may not be the same as that of the escort soldiers, at least except for weapons, they will not receive anything else.

How much is missing.

In fact, neither Alger nor Quaild knew that Xiao Lin had lied to them. These five white settlements were not crucial defense nodes in Xiao Lin's plan at all. Even in Xiao Lin's original plan

There are no such settlements at all. It's just that the one captured by the escort was a settlement, and the Charles family and the Trader tribe suddenly said that they would completely join the company. In order to test the strength of the two forces, Xiao Lin

These five settlements were included in the attack targets.

Xiao Lin always feels that the company cannot give people the impression of a trash can, and cannot let cats and dogs think that they are the talents the company needs, thereby causing more trouble. Don’t dare, Alger and Quaild are both very big

The Charles family has a total of two thousand private soldiers. Originally, it only had one thousand. During this period, it relied on trade with Yanhuang Trading Company to form another thousand people. The members are all the descendants and descendants of the family's old servants.

The British army soldiers have been in control for a long time, and their loyalty is guaranteed.

Therefore, the three largest settlements were left to the Charles family to attack. The two weakest settlements were naturally the prey of the Quailder family. Alger personally led the troops and followed Charlie's troop deployment orders.

With the convenience, he easily entered these three settlements, and also brought in the five hundred soldiers of the trader tribe without anyone noticing, and lurked in the hidden terrain outside the target. It was also at 8:30 in the evening, and everyone

At the agreed time, they also took action.

After all, the Trader Tribe has accepted culture for a long time and has long since changed the bad habits of the Indians. Therefore, under Xiao Lin's notification, they adopted a similar method to the escort team. Their target was too weak, even a wooden

There are no walls, only a simple wooden fence surrounding it.

Private houses. The Indians are also experts at camouflage in the dark night forest. Naturally, the enemy did not find anything wrong during the preparation stage. There are a total of fifteen heavy-punch artillery pieces. Nine cannons are divided into settlements with many enemies, and there are only six cannons outside the other target.

The five hundred warriors were also divided into teams of three hundred and two hundred.

After the heavy punch was fired, the wooden fence naturally fell down, and the soldiers rushed forward. The Charles family was even simpler. Although under Charlie's order, the militiamen became a little wary of the Charles family.

But it wasn't much. Alger spent a lot of money, took out all kinds of delicious canned food and bread snacks from the shelf-life factory purchased from the company, and prepared a very sumptuous Christmas dinner with the roast goose made with the company's spices.

Taking this as an excuse, all the leaders were invited over. People from these small places had never seen so many luxurious meals. Naturally, they let down their guard and happily brought their families to the Charles family camp to enjoy a feast.

Alger was not a murderous person. He did not kill them. Instead, he gave them a large dose of sleeping pills in their food. In the 21st century, sleeping pills with low side effects are sold in pharmacies outside. Take Xiao Lin's

Strength, buying some sleeping pills is naturally very easy.

People in the 18th century basically had no drug resistance in their bodies, and these sleeping pills were so effective that they exploded. These prisoners who were tied together showed no signs of waking up even with the loud firing of heavy-handed cannons. There was no command.

, the militiamen are even more vulnerable. The private soldiers of the Charles family are much stronger than those of the Trader tribe. The soldiers are more disciplined, explore new tactics more deeply, and master new weapons more skillfully.

The Hall m1819 breech-loading rifle was originally designed by the Americans for use by their white armies. The Americans were basically formed by white people, mainly British immigrants. The physical characteristics of the soldiers were exactly the same as those of the Charles family.

Whether it is length or recoil, they are completely within the range most suitable for use by white warriors. The company's craftsmanship makes the style of the rifle more refined and stronger than that originally produced by the American arsenal in history.

The soldiers kept the shooting drill in mind. They first took out a bullet, moved the gun, inserted the bullet, put the gun back, aimed at the enemy, and pulled the trigger. A shooting sound that was completely different from that of a muzzleloader musket sounded, and the enemy fell down in response.

.Before they died, these enemies were still inside the barrels of compacted muzzleloaders.

Gunpowder. Although the Hall M1819 is the most rubbish among breech-loading guns. The firing steps are several more steps than that of a bolt-action rifle. However, it can still be compressed to within five seconds by a skilled soldier. This time, before use

The musketeer who loaded the gun only compacted the gunpowder.

One step ahead can lead step by step, not to mention it takes twice as long as the predecessors. Even if they don't have Type 56 submachine guns, Type 17 pistols, light machine guns and heavy machine guns. However, they rely on the Hall M1819 rifle

The power of it still makes the enemy unable to fight back.

Strength. The barrel of the gun is made of steel made of late 20th century technology, which is enough to withstand more than 5,000 shots. The stability is not comparable to that of a muzzle-loading musket. A muzzle-loading musket is afraid of exploding the chamber if too much gunpowder is loaded.

With the Er rifle, this problem does not exist at all.

Alger's eldest son, Toss, the deputy commander of the army, was completely shocked when he saw this scene. Originally, he thought Xiao Lin was so incompetent that he ate his two sisters and sold them to them.

My own army was equipped with backward weapons, and I even doubted the power of this rifle. In order to keep it confidential at that time, no shooting test was conducted. Unexpectedly, in actual combat, the effect was astonishingly good. The huge generation difference in weapons meant that the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not the same at all.

level.

Even the yellow powder grenades were not used, and the militiamen, who were not much outnumbered, retreated steadily in front of the private soldiers of the Charles family. Even after an hour of fighting, the only wounded soldiers of the Charles family were just

During the pursuit, he could not help but mention that he had fallen over something or sprained his foot. Toss stood there blankly, amazed by what he saw.

"What? Are you petrified?"

"Father, I just didn't expect that with new weapons, our family's private soldiers could be so powerful."

"Haha, now, you have no objection to my choice."

"Yes, you are wise, father. Just these weapons that are backward compared to the company can form such a powerful combat effectiveness. I even wonder how powerful it would be if they were used by the company's escorts.

"

"Don't worry, you will see him. Xiao Lin is your brother-in-law, and I am getting old. Of your brothers, James is the only one who still has some talent in business. In the future, the family will have to be left in your hands, and there will be many opportunities to lead the army. However,

You also have to adjust your attitude, after all, the head of the house should not be too presumptuous in the future."

"Don't worry, I know all this."

"Okay, let's go. Strengthen the attack and resolve the battle within an hour. News has been sent from your brother-in-law that they have resolved the battle."

Alger and Toss rushed to the center and front of the army with a Holzer M1819 rifle and began to command the troops to fight. Both were veteran generals in the army and had strong command skills. The private soldiers immediately became more organized.

We will not waste too much energy on unimportant goals. Since then, the population of Yanhuang Trading Company has doubled, the area it controls has quadrupled, and it has officially entered the world stage.
