Chapter 197: The Astonishment of Private Soldiers

The nobles valued their wealth and lives, which brought extremely high efficiency. The members of the mission who returned to Boston praised the weapons and food the company sold to them in front of the three earls. The three earls were extremely happy.

, three million pounds of property was collected in just one day. When the nobles with private soldiers below received the news, they did not hesitate at all. This was a time of life and death. Pay the money early and transport the things back early to avoid their losses.

will become smaller.

Therefore, 3 million pounds of property was transported non-stop by 30,000 civilians for half a month to the company's territory. At the same time, 5,000 of the company's remaining 80% new Hall M1819 muskets (original 3,000 of the Charles family's

In addition to the three thousand produced later, one thousand was given to the people of the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance). The trucks were loaded in advance and began to be transported to the front line of the British-French war. The property here had just arrived, and these muskets were just distributed to the noble private soldiers on the front line.

.

The three earls had many private soldiers and were strong. Naturally, each of them received one thousand, and the remaining two thousand were divided among the private soldiers of the following dozen nobles in proportion. The most received five hundred, and the least received only

One hundred shots. Originally, the private soldiers were a little unhappy when they heard that the master above had bought them new weapons. Some private soldier generals colluded with the people in the arsenal to make money here. But some people,

I think the master doesn't believe in their strength.

However, when they saw the Yanhuang Trading Company logo on these weapons, everyone fell silent. Being beaten so badly by the Yanhuang Trading Company, even if the British army did not actually go on the field to confront the company head-on, the company's logo was 100%

There is no mistake. They absolutely agree with the weapons produced by Yanhuang Trading Company. The weapons produced by any arsenal in the colony cannot compare to the company's weapons. This has become an iron rule.

Wilf is the commander of Count Linman's private army. He is a Prussian who was recruited from the Hessian mercenaries by Count Linman at a huge price. Wilf has no arms purchasers, he only hopes that his master can trust him.

He was capable of leading the earl's five thousand private soldiers. At first, he was a little frustrated, thinking that the earl didn't believe him. When the adjutant came to report that the weapons shipped were produced by Yanhuang Trading Company, his frustration disappeared.

Instead, he came outside excitedly.

As the first family to decide to win over the company, and privately giving away a lot of money, the Linman family was the only one to get instructors assigned by the company. There were thirty people in total, a platoon of former private soldiers of the Charles family, wearing military uniforms.

, each came here with a Hall M1819 rifle and taught them how to use the brand new breech-loading gun. Wilf is a typical Prussian. He only obeys those who have the ability. They can use new weapons, but you can't.

That means people are capable.

Wilf wanted them to demonstrate the power of the Hall M1819 rifle. Thirty people each set a target 110 meters away. Thirty people fired ten volleys, and the worst was eight.

If the shot hits ten rings, the minimum number of rings is also seven. Power

Wolf and all the private soldiers who were watching were dumbfounded. The target was brought over, and all the 20 cm thick solid wooden boards were penetrated. They had never dared to imagine this kind of power and range before, but now

They actually want to use this artifact to fight.

And it’s not just a thousand guns. The company’s arsenal is already in full operation. In order to complete this batch of arms orders, it will not even produce Yanhuang Type 1 and Raider Type 1. In one month, 10,000 guns can be produced. Hall M1819

After all, it was a product of 1819. For the company's arsenal whose technological level has reached the mid-20th century, it is really simple. In two months, Earl Linman's five thousand private soldiers will all be replaced by Hall M1819

rifle.

Because of the lack of bullets, Wilf and the others did not conduct live ammunition training. However, the thirty instructors naturally had a way to make these people stand with guns and aim every day, and then practice loading with wooden bullets. Although there was no actual training, but

The combat effectiveness of one thousand selected elite private soldiers has been continuously increasing. After two weeks of training, the first batch of heavy fist type one artillery has been put in place. Count Linman's private soldiers were allocated ten guns.

There is no need to practice the heavy punch style. The front-loading rifled cannon is also a front-loading cannon. Their artillerymen can get started with a little understanding of it. The artillerymen reported that they no longer asked for any eighteen-pound heavy cannons, as long as they were given more

Twenty punches like this

Type 1 artillery, all their artillery can be dispensed with. Wilf couldn't help but smile, and he also knew how powerful this kind of artillery was. It happened that during this period of time, he resisted the French army and bought training time for the private troops who changed their equipment.

I can't bear it anymore.

Lin Man and the other three Earls ordered that the redressed private troops officially join the battlefield and complete the remaining training on the battlefield. The company's thirty instructors couldn't say anything, and the ones who died were not their people anyway. According to the company's policy

The training regulations require at least one month of live-fire training after changing uniforms before going to the battlefield. According to their kind of training, it will only take three months, but now they will go to the battlefield in two weeks. Speechless, they also became external recruits

Staff and Military Observer Mission.

Wilf was naturally unsure, so he attached great importance to the thirty external staff officers. Except for the fifteen who had to be separated from other private soldiers who had to change their uniforms due to human sentiments, the other fifteen people used their own

All the staff members were squeezed away. The British were on the defensive and the French were on the offensive.

If you want to counterattack, you must fight a beautiful battle of annihilation. Therefore, the private troops after changing their equipment all came to the frontline defensive position. It is not a big deal if the Hall M1819 type is exposed first. After all, there are only 5,000 of them.

It is not conspicuous on the battlefield where thousands of muskets are firing.

There were a total of fifty heavy-punch type I artillery pieces, but only twenty were approved for use. In order not to scare away the French, twenty twelve-pounder cannons and nine-pounder cannons were withdrawn. After fighting with the company so many times, we dug out

The British also learned how to make trenches. But

The effective range of the Brown Bass musket is not long and cannot be fully effective, but the Hall M1819 rifle is different. All private soldiers who changed their equipment followed the advice of the company's external staff, entered the trenches, and dug the trenches deeper and deeper.

wide.

The breech-loading gun should show its power in the trenches. With the protection of the trenches, the death and injury rate of soldiers will be greatly slowed down, allowing greater power to be exerted. As soon as the trenches were dug, the French stormtroopers came up. Last time

The number of revolvers the company sold them

There are still about three thousand people left. Although our own arsenal has not yet reacted, we can still form two thousand stormtroopers. After getting closer, the French stormtroopers who use revolvers, not the British troops who use brown basses, short-handled muskets and melee weapons, can

Resistant.

If the British had not mobilized a terrifying number of artillery to fire cover regardless of the casualties of several people, I am afraid they would not have been able to hold on long ago. Some external staff officers were commanding at the front to suppress the private troops and prevent them from firing at will.

In their hands, the Hall M1819 can hit a target 110 meters away. In the hands of these rookie private soldiers, it is God's blessing to be able to hit a target 100 meters away.

"Everyone, hold on to me. Don't panic. Don't panic. Each of you will get the target in seconds and shoot when you are 100 meters away. Now it is 150 meters away. Don't be anxious. If anyone misfires, they will go back and be punished by military law."

"Hoo ho ho!"

Don't think that private armies don't have military law. In order to maintain strong combat effectiveness, many private armies have stricter military laws than the national army. The same is naturally true for these private armies. No one wants to be dealt with by military law because of nervousness. Take a deep breath one by one, relax your fingers, and

Made myself nervous and fired.

"One hundred and thirty meters...one hundred and twenty meters...one hundred and ten meters, ready!"

"One hundred meters, let go!!!"

The staff officers roared, and five thousand private soldiers opened fire at the same time. The gunshots of the Hall M1819 muskets, which were different from the Brown Bess, rang out. The one thousand French stormtroopers who rushed up suddenly jumped on their backs. Five thousand people aimed at one thousand people, and they used the same weapon.

breech-loading guns, except for a few

They were so angry that when they fired, they fell down those who had dodged the bullets, and the rest lost the battle. However, the staff were still dissatisfied. With so many people aiming and shooting, only about 500 people were actually killed.

Others were holding their legs or shoulders and wailing.

If this were to be achieved in a company, even the militia division would not be required to achieve such results. At least half of the bullets missed the vital point or hit the target. Even the worst company police officers would not be able to stand it. However, Wilf and the others are not interested in this.

The results were extremely satisfactory. After seeing the results, Wilf and others immediately said "good" without seeing the contemptuous eyes of the external consultants behind their backs. There was no need for the consultants to put in more effort later. For the first time, it was done.

As a result, they have the confidence to let these people perform freely.

After handing over the command to the frontline officers, they all returned to the rear and used binoculars to observe the battle on both sides. This was also a task assigned by Xiao Lin. When they returned, everyone had to submit an observation report, and if they passed, they would be promoted to military rank. However,

They still overestimated the British. These people did not fight according to their plan at all. The free fire was okay, and they fought vigorously with the Hall M1819. But they were too fierce and did not pay attention to hiding some of their firepower.

After five rounds, the French discovered something was wrong. They no longer charged in groups wantonly, but avoided shooting from a distance. The French artillery was also mobilized and began to carpet bomb the frontline trenches. An old-fashioned aircraft was also launched

Trebuchets were used to throw the remaining yellow powder grenades sold to them by the company into the trenches. Wilf had no choice but to let all his artillery fire. With fifty heavy punches, he barely managed to knock out the French

The artillery fire was suppressed.
