1717 New American Empire

"Kul, you go back first and report the situation here to the battalion commander."

"What about you?"

"I'm here to keep an eye on them. If they leave, we won't be able to easily find them again."

"But......"

"But what? Just obey the order. I haven't settled the accounts with you for running away privately before. If you don't manage it this time, see how I deal with you when I come back."

"Yes, company commander!"

At this time, Xiao Lin just finished the training for the officers and came to the training ground to check the status of everyone's training. As soon as he heard the situation reported by the soldier Kuhl, his face changed. He quickly took a few people and came to where they discovered that Britain

At the same time, he quickly asked the two company commanders to assemble the troops and adjust their status. He was busy forgetting that these Apaches had been lying on the ground for three hours, staring at the enemy. Xiao Lin lay down and slowly

Walked over slowly.

"How's the situation?"

"You're here. The enemy seems to be heading towards us. Our camp is half a day's walk up this road. However, their carriage got stuck in a mud pit and can't be pulled out now. It's being repaired."

Xiao Lin raised his telescope and followed Apache's instructions to check the enemy's movements. Two carriages in the British army overturned, and all three cannons were stuck in. Some soldiers were slumped on the ground covered in mud and water, looking like

It seemed that they were exhausted after pushing the cart for a long time. Seeing that it was getting dark, they also left the main road and set up camp beside the road. During this period, white people generally did not choose to fight at night. The accuracy of muskets was not good, so fighting at night

It's even worse.

Xiao Lin asked James to take five men to replace the Apache, and continue to monitor the movements of the lobster soldiers here. Then, he took the others back to the assembly area. Xiao Lin currently has only 300 soldiers in his hands, and only four of them.

The eleven white men are good at using muskets and have basically mastered the techniques of using medium and formal rifles. The other more than 200 Eagle tribe warriors only know how to shoot with the rifles in their hands, and the accuracy is not guaranteed.

Although there was a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, Xiao Lin's weapons were much more powerful than those of Babu's men. During this era, the British army began to replace the Brown Bess muskets. The Brown Bess muskets originated from September 15, 1714.

An arms development contract signed by the Royal Ordnance Bureau. The main content of the contract includes soliciting design opinions from private arms dealers on preferential terms, and then the Ordnance Bureau authorities will approve the production. Now, it is simply impossible for people in the colonies to install new guns.

Unless their chief officer's hands and eyes are astute.

Babu is obviously not a man with good hands and eyes, so his soldiers can only use backward muskets. And this kind of muskets has no bright spots in history that people can remember (I really can't find it, I have no choice). This

At that time, the equipment of the British army was not even comparable to that of the French. Even the three three-pound field guns were old items from the 17th century. They were not very accurate and powerful, and could not even compare with the earliest rifle grenades.

On Xiao Lin's side, there are three hundred mid-level rifles, with firepower strong enough to match four hundred musketeers and lobster soldiers. There are also one hundred people, all archers using compound bows with an effective range of 150 steps. When it comes to close combat

, and can also use steel knives to fight. Combat skills honed in the jungle for more than ten years, coupled with Xiao Lin's modern military training, make their combat effectiveness very powerful.

The most important thing is that in order to strengthen the firepower, Xiao Lin specially built five speed machines, which are box guns that appear in every anti-war drama and are weapons for soldiers without machine guns and submachine guns. The four graduate students majoring in mechanical manufacturing are

After making the right move, not only did he help develop the official rifle in one go, but he also helped polish the five speed machines after Xiao Lin made the request.

The Mauser pistol (mauser military pistol) is also called a shell gun or a box gun in China, and it is often called Mauser C96 in Europe. The Mauser factory obtained the patent on December 11, 1895, and officially produced it the following year. Because its holster is a wooden box

, also called a box gun in China; if it is equipped with a 20-round magazine, it is called a big-bellied box gun. Its gun body is wide, so it is also called a big mirror. It has a fully automatic function, also called a speed machine, and a Mauser pistol.

It is a pistol manufactured by the Mauser Arsenal in Germany. It is one of the earliest automatic pistols in the world.

This kind of pistol, with a butt, can even be turned into a primitive semi-automatic rifle or semi-automatic submachine gun. A speed machine has a firepower comparable to twenty seventeenth-century muskets. Xiao Lin himself uses two and three

The company commander has one weapon per man, and with a burst of firepower, he can equal fifty lobster soldiers with muskets.

Xiao Lin still has a batch of primitive grenades in his hand. These grenades are made of some round, hard and thick plastic toys that Xiao Lin purchased in the 21st century.

All this work was done on the American continent. However, this kind of grenade is also very powerful. The explosion radius is two meters. The hard plastic will not burn out at once, and it can support the gunpowder to break through the shell and let the iron

Nails and gravel shot out.

While the lobster soldiers were camping and recuperating, Xiao Lin led the soldiers to find a good place for an ambush. Xiao Lin couldn't help but thank the Indians who died in the white man's capture. They used their lives to raise these colonial soldiers to be arrogant. For the Indians

They despise them to the extreme and will never formalize them. This is one of the reasons why the white people in the later period were beaten to pieces by the Indians who obtained advanced muskets. If they were attacking the colonies of other European countries, they would never be so careless, even if they did not launch an attack immediately

, and will also send out sentries to explore the surrounding area.

This trail is basically surrounded by hills and rocks. Although it is not very high, there are still many slopes about fifty meters high. The place Xiao Lin chose is a slope of more than forty meters, with a slope of forty meters.

At an angle of five degrees, lying on the top, all the conditions on the road can be seen clearly. Three hundred soldiers entered the position overnight and immediately started digging trenches. They did not sleep until five o'clock in the morning. At about ten o'clock in the morning, they stared at the lobster soldiers

James and others arrived, and the lobster soldiers set off.

They woke up late and spent a lot of time dragging out the carriages and artillery that were still stuck in the mud. It was not bad to set off at this time. Xiao Lin asked everyone to be prepared. With the help of the walkie-talkie, he could

He conveyed his orders to each platoon leader. The sun was hanging overhead, and it was only at eleven o'clock in the morning that the lobster soldier appeared in front of everyone.

The leader was the infantry using muskets. These people were both the main force and cannon fodder. Xiao Lin was not in a hurry to take action. He had to deal with the three field artillery first. The infantry had to get out of the ambush circle before the artillery appeared and they left.

In the middle, they walked one by one, and at the end were fifty cavalry, which should be the army at the rear. Xiao Lin first aimed at a lobster soldier riding on a horse dragging a cannon. After he was sure that he could kill him,

The shot was fired immediately.

"Bang!"

A gunshot resounded through the valley. Hearing the gunshot, Xiao Lin's musketeers and archers attacked at the same time. The musketeers were standing in the trench, and the archers had to expose half of their bodies. Suddenly, they were attacked by Babu's 700 men.

The lobster soldiers were immediately in chaos. With the help of Xiao Lin and a few soldiers with good marksmanship, all the lobster soldiers next to the artillery were quickly eliminated. Moreover, anyone who approached the artillery was shot.

Babu hid very well and was always among the infantry. There was no need for a coward to ride away on a big horse, which would be a recipe for death. When he encountered an attack, he hid behind the carriage and began to organize the chaotic soldiers.
