1717 New American Empire

Chapter 51: Victory Again

Since the invention of the breech-loading rifle, the intensity of battles has increased dramatically. The number of casualties killed by the original volleyball can't compare with the number of casualties in trench warfare. This is because the breech-loading rifle, compared with the matchlock gun, has a lower number of casualties.

For guns and muzzle-loading muskets, their shooting speed, accuracy and power were far superior. After beating two Sholins, Kent's two thousand soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the number of soldiers who lost combat effectiveness reached a thousand.

Even the regular army troops on British soil cannot do this despite more than half of the casualties, and they can still maintain combat effectiveness and high fighting will, not to mention that colonies such as Kent have become the private armies of the Adams family. Private soldiers have always been

They are not synonymous with elites. No matter how good their masters are to them, they can't compare with the spirit of those great troops who serve the country and the people. Therefore, Kent's men began to collapse.

Even if Kent roars hysterically, no one will shoot thousands of enemies in the town. They will only shoot at a distance of two hundred meters at most, regardless of whether they can hit or not, just to show Kent a show. Xiao Lin

The enemy's movements have been clearly discovered

The enemy in this state could no longer provide training pressure for the soldiers of the four companies, so he did not intend to work hard with Kent and the others. The mortar showed its power again, firing a total of twenty shells, blasting the enemy.

The man was thrown off his back.

After being bombarded, Kent's men no longer had the will to fight. Some people on the periphery began to desert and secretly fled the battlefield. Seeing that nothing could be done, Kent did not dare to stay here any longer. He gritted his teeth and let all those who could move escape.

, escape to the town controlled by the Pandey family.

Xiao Lin and the others did not pursue him. Firstly, after such a long period of vigilance and high-intensity fighting, the four hundred soldiers of the four companies were very tired. They had to clean the battlefield, and they really did not have the energy to pursue them. Secondly, the enemy still had

There were nearly nine hundred in number, and the cavalry still maintained most of its structure. If one of them could not be killed, they could not be defeated in close combat. Therefore, Xiao Lin could only let Kent lead the defeated soldiers to escape.

However, they didn't have many good days. Xiao Lin wanted to capture the current Pandi Town and the former Babu Town. Previously, because his men lacked strength and had no cannons, they attacked the towns that were defended by wooden walls.

The town still suffered a lot of casualties. Moreover, he didn't want to be exposed directly. Although he was already at odds with the Adams family, Xiao Lin didn't want to stand on the stage and fight them. The war could be dragged out as long as possible.

However, Kent has already brought people to attack, so there is no need for such a cover-up. After hitting the Adams family in the face several times, it is no longer possible for Xiao Lin and the Adams family to reconcile. At this time, it is impossible for Xiao Lin to back down.

, once he retreats, the Adams family will think that he is weak, and the attack will not stop. On the contrary, if the town is defeated, it will have a greater effect of deterring the enemy. Therefore, Xiao Lin is determined to take this town.

.

Xiao Lin does not intend to let go of the white people in the town. Those who dare to stab him will be killed. Those who are honest and willing to join Xiao Lin's forces will be given the same treatment as Xiao Lin's subordinates after a period of investigation.

.I heard that a new aristocratic mayor has arrived in the town. If I can grab him, I don’t know how many good things I can get.

After resting and having dinner, the two brothers Sam and Dean took their two squads to explore the direction of the town. Xiao Lin deliberately stayed behind these twenty people, so that they did not consume too much physical strength. Sam

He and Dean also carried four box guns, so they didn't have to worry about encountering small groups of enemies in the wild.

On the Kent side, they had been fleeing in panic on horseback. A week's journey was completed in four days by this group of fleeing troops. At first, they were so frightened that they covered a quarter of the distance in one day.

No one thought about setting up an ambush on the road, otherwise the mountain would

Mu and Dean were really in danger. The two led the soldiers and found a lot of discarded weapons and breastplates on the road. These things still had a certain value to Xiao Lin, so they collected them all.

Get up so that the army behind can find you and take you away.

Twenty people rode bicycles and arrived at Pandy Town almost an hour later than Kent and the others. At this time, all Kent's defeated troops happened to enter the town and were led by the town militia into the military camp. Why did the defeated troops rob the town?

It is still impossible for them to happen. They just lost the battle and are not completely desperate. Besides, the town has added a thousand militiamen and will not let these defeated soldiers do whatever they want.

Clark Pandey, who came to greet Kent, looked at the lost Kent in surprise. Clark was also a direct member of the Pandey family, but his situation was better than that of Kent. Clark had the right of inheritance and was now a quasi-noble with the title of knight.

The two have been good friends since childhood. Clark has always seen pride and complacency in his good friend, but this time, he looked like a complete loser.

"My good brothers, what happened to you? Why are you in such a mess?"

"Forget it, Clark, I failed. The enemy is stronger than I thought."

"How is it possible? Are there more enemies than you?"

"No, it's not that. Their number is much smaller than ours, but their weapons are too powerful."

"Why are you so powerful?"

"Their rifles have a longer range than ours, have a faster rate of fire, are very accurate, and are much more powerful. Moreover, they also have grenadiers. After all our artillery was wiped out by one of the enemy's cannons, we simply couldn't

They cannot be effectively attacked."

"Current cannon? Is there such a cannon?"

"I don't know. I didn't see any traces of artillery, but the shells happened to pass over the tall wooden fence and our fortifications, and exploded directly in the middle of the artillery."

"This is indeed a bit tricky."

"Clark, you have to be careful. I'm not sure whether the enemy will attack here. My soldiers fled too fast. I didn't have much preparation at all. I lost a lot of weapons. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you with much."

Helped."

"In this way, I still have a batch of rifles in hand. You can repair them first, and then see if you can organize your remaining men. If the enemy comes to attack, you will not be able to escape. If the enemy does not come, regroup

Let me see if we can go together to meet these enemies."

"Okay, if you can help me kill the enemy, I will share 60% of the profit with you, and I only need 40%."

"We are brothers, why are we talking about this? Let's go and eat first."

From Kent's description, Clark discovered the powerful dangers of this group of enemies. All the Indian tribes he had contacted before were wiped out. Clark didn't believe that he could stay out of it. Therefore, he had to be prepared. Before taking Kent with him

While repairing, he had already ordered his men to prepare for war. One hundred and fifty cavalry were sent out to scout around the town to see if there were any traces of the enemy.

However, if they had the concept of camouflage uniforms and ghillie suits, they might actually be able to find Dean and Sam. Sam and Dean were both wearing high-imitation military camouflage uniforms and ghillie suits purchased by Xiao Lin, hiding in the bushes and woods. According to 18

There is nothing wrong with the cavalrymen who came to scan with the idea of ​​​​century.

Jin didn't notice it. Sam and Dean were a little nervous at first, but waves of cavalry ran in front of them several times. They didn't find anything wrong at all, so they started to get down to business. As a vanguard investigation, they had to find out what happened to Xiao Jin.

The town's defense situation and basic terrain structure.

Xiao Lin led 380 soldiers to collect all the equipment left by the enemy outside the town. The muskets can be kept for the militia in the future, and the artillery can also be made into mounts to be fixed on the city wall.

, as an additional means of defense, it is still very good. Even if it is too backward to be used later, it can also be used for recycling metal and recasting it into farm tools. The next day, Xiao Lin, who had rested, took the three recovered

The soldiers of the company set off.

The remaining eighty soldiers stayed behind in the town. James led the team with submachine guns to guard before they captured two thousand Indian prisoners. Three hundred soldiers, armed with ten mortars, Xiao Lin believed, would be enough to give the enemy a profound blow.

Lesson learned. As the army set off, there were also twenty three-wheeled bicycles. These were all transportation forces preparing to return with the spoils after victory. Five of them were already full of items thrown by the defeated soldiers on the road.

Weapons and armor, returned to the town.

A week later, Xiao Lin officially joined Sam and Dean. At this time, they also spent two days outside Pandy Town and had figured out the basic situation. After two days of searching outside, there was no sign of the enemy.

Unexpectedly, although Clark still maintained vigilance, his men began to relax. Xiao Lin and the others were not too arrogant. They were marching in secret for the time being, which could completely catch the enemy off guard.

The situation in the town is not complicated. Now, including the army, there are more than 7,000 people living there. The town is surrounded by a wooden wall that is neither high nor wide. There are about thirty watchtowers on the wooden wall. One side of the town

Facing the British colonies, one side faces the interior of the American continent. Facing the interior, there are a total of fifteen forts with artillery on them. It seems that they are all twelve-pound cannons, and their defensive capabilities are still very good.

Powerful. At least, the Indians using bows and arrows are invincible.

Even colonial troops from other countries would need at least three times the number of troops to capture the town. However, this is not difficult for Xiao Lin. If the city wall is made of stone, it will be a bit difficult for Xiao Lin to defeat the wooden city wall.

The soldiers could not withstand the 120mm mortar bombardment. However, in order to reduce casualties, Xiao Lin decided to use night attacks. At night, if the enemy wanted to train, lighting torches was indispensable. Xiao Lin and the others

If you hide in the dark and shoot, the battle will go more smoothly.
