1717 New American Empire

Chapter 39 Robbery

Seven people were wandering around the town of Lexington. Except for the Adams family, no one would be able to recognize them. Even the Adams family should only know Barb, and the others are not famous and have never been here.

Here. Therefore, they are not too worried that their intentions and whereabouts will be exposed. Other people in the town think that these seven people are wanderers who come to the town looking for work and accommodation. There are more of these people now, Liexing

Many people in Dunshang have moved here from other places in the past six months.

The Adams family's manor area is just south of the town of Lexington. A large area here is occupied by them, and no one lives here except them. The reason why this place was chosen is because of the high terrain.

There is also a small river outside as a means of defense. They only need to build a fence to guard the manor area. Because the security in the colony is not very good, robberies occur from time to time, and the Adams family has a large business, so there has always been a musketry team in the family.

patrol.

Especially during the day, there are three patrols, each with fifteen people, crossing each other. Moreover, the manor can be armed with at least a hundred musketeers, and there are two forts, each with three three-pound cannons.

.It can be said that as long as it is not attacked by regular troops, it is impossible to enter and do whatever you want.

Just the seven of them, Bob James, would undoubtedly be courting death if they wanted to attack by force. Even if they had box artillery with the black technology level of this era, it would be impossible to defeat them. But this is where the British colonies are concentrated, and Xiao Lin would not be able to attack them.

People have been sent to attack. Therefore, they can only find a way to sneak in quietly. They have to wait until night and take advantage of the late night activities, which is the easiest way.

The seven people found a tavern, firstly to take a rest and discuss the action plan, and secondly to see if they could get some news from those drunkards. Unexpectedly, they actually heard important news during this visit. In the afternoon

, a man came into the tavern, and everyone called him Peter the Braggart. Because he said that his uncle was the butler of the Adams family, and he knew a lot of insider information about the Adams family, and he often wanted to exchange it for drinks.

However, most of what he said were boring trivial matters, and gradually everyone stopped believing him, and finally called him a braggart. However, Barb knew that the butler of the Adams family here seemed to have an incompetent person.

The nephew had been causing trouble for him outside. Peter came into the pub and announced that he had big news and would tell anyone who invited him to drink, but no one paid him any attention. Only Barb bought a large glass of beer and invited him.

Sat down.

"Oh, brother, you still know the best. Do you want to know the news? I can tell you, but you have to give me enough beer."

"No problem, as long as the information you get is valuable, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Hey, friend, don't be deceived by the braggadocio. None of his information is valuable."

"Fuck you Bruce, if you don't believe me, forget it, don't bother me."

"Brother, don't worry about them. Tell me what news you have. Here, get your beer."

"Okay, brother, let me tell you, it's like this..."

Barb and Peter whispered there for a long time, and no one knew what they said specifically. However, Barb finally walked back to the room happily. James and the others were still discussing the plan of action for the evening.

"Hey guys, no more arguing, we can go to bed."

"Babu, what do you mean? If you want to take pleasure in your misfortune, I think I will teach you a lesson."

"Don't worry, man. Things have taken a new turn. I heard news that the Adams family has opened a new mine."

"Mining?"

"Yes, gold mines. They need a large number of mining workers. It's too late to buy slaves. If they are discovered by the superiors, they won't be able to keep them. So, they want all the family slaves, including the families of those retainers who have made mistakes, to

It has to be transported to a gold mine to be mined secretly. When they find it there, they can make a lot of money for themselves first."

"You mean?"

"Yes, I already know their delivery route. That drunkard drank a few glasses of horse urine and told me everything."

"Are you sure his information is correct?"

"This has to start with a tidbit. His uncle and his mother were committing adultery. He accidentally overheard it. The person responsible was his uncle, the fat and perverted housekeeper."

"Okay, how many escorts are there?"

"Fifty people, who only have muskets and cannot carry cannons, are disguised as a material transfer team and will set off tomorrow evening."

"We can deal with this number, rob people and run away. Babu, let's study the route and choose an ambush location. Isa, you all go and prepare the three-wheeled bicycles. We will use that to escape when the time comes. Wait

We have chosen a place and will come to mix with you right away. You just wait where the car is hidden."

"OK."

James and Barb began to discuss the carjacking plan in the tavern room, while the other five people walked out of the town and walked outside to where they hid seven three-wheeled bicycles that Xiaolin purchased from the 21st century for hauling goods. They

I have rescued my family, but I can't escape with my feet. The Adams family still has horses. Although the horses that remain in the family are second-class horses, it is easy and enjoyable to run on two feet.

A three-wheeled bicycle can carry five people, including people in cars, and can maintain a speed of 20 kilometers for a whole day. It does not have many requirements on the road, but horses cannot. It is a complete escape weapon. Five

There are only fifteen family members in total. As a retainer, it is normal to work very hard. They are all middle-aged, their parents have died long ago, and they only have a wife and children.

James and Barb didn't stay in the tavern all night. They searched along the route for a long time, and finally found a good ambush location. The road passed through a small forest, and there were enough people on both sides of the road.

The trees and grass allowed the seven of them to completely hide inside. Not far from here was the road back to the camp. They placed the tricycle in a sheltered area at the corner and covered it with branches.

To defeat the escort, you only need to run forward for a few minutes to get on the tricycle and walk to the camp. This location is not too far from the town, which ensures that it will not attract enemy reinforcements immediately, and they will not change the path.

, the situation in which the ambush failed. After getting ready, James began to distribute weapons and bullets. Babu was the most excited. He really wanted to have such a powerful musket that could fire continuously, but James was very strict and he could only live by it.
