1717 New American Empire

Chapter 52 Night Attack

After all, the militiamen were just militiamen. They had maintained a high-intensity alert state for several days, but Dou Emi had not noticed any signs of the enemy. The existing thousand militiamen in the town had long lost any sense of vigilance. As for those under Kent's command,

People are still recovering and have no time to help them patrol. Clark, as the mayor, how can he personally lead the team to guard, so at night, the wooden walls are full of dozing militiamen.

Xiao Lin and others went to bed early. There were no cavalry outside to search for the enemy, and they didn't care where they slept. At one o'clock in the morning, each company and platoon leader woke up his soldiers in turn. They got up to eat something, and then the soldiers

I started to check my pretense. Fortunately, the Chinese formal rifle was strong enough. In late spring, there was a lot of dew in the forest. Even if it had gunpowder installed, it would have been too wet to use.

Throughout the whole process, Xiao Lin and the others maintained a silent attitude. No one spoke loudly, and no one made a big noise. Everyone gathered together row by row according to the arrangement before the break, and then moved under their mother.

The mortar platoon also followed with mortars.

They led Xiao Lin to move to a position 700 meters away from the city wall. At this distance, they could attack the wooden wall gate unscrupulously and accurately. Xiao Lin did not intend to engage in a siege battle with the enemy. He wanted to attack it as soon as possible.

Then use the advantage of weapons to fight them in street fights.

This time is also the time when people are most sleepy, that is, the patrol team, and therefore fell into a state of half-asleep and half-awake. No one paid attention to who was in the wilderness outside and what was going on. Xiao Lin personally operated a door

He gave a demonstration on the mortar, and the gunners he selected from the rest of the crew followed Xiao Lin's movements to drill the gun. Xiao Lin provided accurate data so that these novices could accurately aim the muzzle at the gate.

After ten not very loud sounds of cannonballs leaving the barrel, seven violent explosions were heard from the wooden gate not far away. The three cannonballs finally missed and hit the wooden wall.

The sound of the door collapsing, coupled with the sound of mortar shells exploding, completely woke up the entire town. Clark and Kent, who were sleeping, sat up from the bed. Kent told him about the mortar.

When Clark heard this, he understood that the enemy who had defeated Kent had really come back.

In this era, European countries still have some remnants of medieval chivalry, and night attacks occur relatively rarely. At least, everyone in the town has not experienced it. They have no experience in dealing with night attacks, so the first thing they do is

The first thing they did was to light a torch for lighting. When Clark and Kent arrived, asked them to get dressed, grab their rifles, and gather to prepare to leave the military camp to attack, Xiao Lin had already sneaked into the town with his troops.

The civilians in the town did not have a very tough temperament. Not to mention coming out to stop them with axes or purchased muskets, they did not even light the lamps. Xiao Lin's soldiers did not say anything, relying on Xiao Lin

Among the treatments provided, no one had night blindness. It was difficult for the small town army to find the target in the dark, but they could find the small town army. With the sound of four submachine guns, groups of enemies were scattered and then captured.

The soldiers armed with formal rifles were eliminated one by one.

Under such circumstances, the morale of these more than 1,900 British soldiers inevitably slowly declined. After an hour of street fighting, some people began to choose to leave the battlefield because they did not want to fight. The military uniforms of Xiao Lin's men were black.

You can't tell that they are enemies unless you walk in. Moreover, there are many people among them who can speak English with a British accent. They can find out something is wrong after a trial, but Clark and Kent's men can't.

After fighting for an hour, only a dozen people under Xiao Lin were injured. However, nearly 400 people under Clark and Kent lost their combat effectiveness. This is the difference between the troops under the earliest military training in modern times and modern military training. Clark and Kent also discovered

No way, if this continues, let alone defeating the enemy, it's hard to say whether they can protect themselves. After discussion, the two of them felt that they should lead the troops to shrink the defense and delay the time in the military camp until dawn.

As long as it is dawn, the enemy will not be their opponent. In the small town, the advantage of the long range of the weapons in the hands of the enemy cannot be used. They can also injure a large number of enemies or even kill them. However, this is just right.

Xiao Lin's thoughts. Xiao Lin didn't originally intend to kill them all. The purpose of this attack was to give the enemy enough shock, and the additional thing was to grab some good things like antique gold coins and take them back.

Seeing the British troops moving towards the military camp, Xiao Lin did not stop him. He asked the first company and the second company to chase the enemy and let them escape into the military camp at a faster speed. The third company and the fourth company were just behind Babu

Under the leadership of the police, we went to the mayor's residence and all the places with some wealth. All the antiques, oil paintings, and gold coins were quickly looted and placed in the cargo compartment of the three-wheeled bicycle entering the city.

Many civilians were also forcibly dragged out and walked outside the town at the gunpoint of soldiers. Most of them must be innocent civilians. What Xiao Lin asked his men to do must also be harmful to their property and health.

There will be a lot of damage. However, there is no time to worry too much now. When they all become Xiao Lin's subordinates, then Xiao Lin will naturally give them more compensation. This is not a matter of guilt.

, but Xiao Lin needs to win over people's hearts and mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

Take it from the people and use it for the people. At least here in Xiao Lin, they can one day become rich, instead of living in what Xiao Lin thinks is a purgatory world all their lives. Two hours of fighting, three

After hours of robbery, the town was completely lit up at seven o'clock. The three-wheeled convoy and the three and four companies of white men escorting two thousand prisoners had already left the town.

Clark and Kent also discovered Xiao Lin's robbery activities. They also wanted to lead the army to stop them, but they were beaten back by four submachine guns and ten mortars. The corpses created by the mortars and submachine guns were really

It was so miserable that neither of their men dared to attack outside without seeing the target.

The soldiers of the first and second companies did not stop. All the remaining grenades made in the camp were buried in piles, matched with wooden handle grenades, and pulled on strings to make homemade landmines. The strings were all at the gate of the military camp. If anyone

If you come out, you can definitely pull it off. Once the wooden-handled grenade explodes, the flames cause the secondary grenade to explode, and the power is enough to kill dozens of people. Before dawn, the soldiers of the second company were also alert to the enemy,

While evacuating outside the town.

When Clark and Kent found out, they had already arrived at the gate of the town. The two hurriedly asked people to chase them. As a result, they triggered a grenade at the gate and exploded twice, blowing up more than 30 people who were huddled at the gate on the spot.

Rotten meat. This was another fright, causing the infantry to retreat into the barracks again and not dare to move. It was not until an hour later that anyone tried to go outside, but nothing happened. Clerk and Kent quickly arranged for their men to clean up the mess.

Clark was disabled this time, and the entire residence was ransacked. If the furniture and other items were not too heavy, it might not be possible to keep even these things. At first, Clark's father told him that a noble should have some literary and artistic objects.

, to show your noble temperament, so Clark

Half of the annual income was used to purchase these things. As a result, it was all at an advantage for Xiao Lin. Two thousand of the more than five thousand people in the town were taken away, and an entire family was taken away.

Among them, there are 1,100 adult laborers, of which more than 800 are men.

All the valuables in a tavern, a hotel, and a grocery store were emptied out. The boss and waiters were also taken away. Statistics show that the town's vitality is really badly damaged this time. If Clark can't get

With no help from the family, the whole town might be so depressed.

However, Xiao Lin really gained a lot this time. Combined, Xiao Lin only spent more than 10 million on submachine guns and mortars. So far, the consumption of submachine gun bullets is less than one tenth. The consumption of mortar shells is also

Not even one-third. The remaining quantity is enough to support

They fought five more wars with less than 10,000 people. In terms of population, Xiaolin harvested 4,000 people, half of whom were Indians and half of whom were whites. Among them, the number of adult laborers reached more than 1,900. While others

People can also perform labor that is not very tiring.

In terms of money, I gained 30,000 pounds. It was minted by an authentic British mint. It seems that it has also experienced the passage of time. In modern society, it may be sold as antiques. If some of these coins have become rare in the 21st century, then

The selling price is much higher. Clark’s literary and artistic collections

There are a hundred pieces in the collection, and all of them are high-quality. Most of them are oil paintings, and the most precious one is "The Field of Hope" by the famous painter Dachi (to prevent it from being harmonized, I made it up myself)

, this painting has been determined to be extinct in the 21st century, and it will definitely fetch a sky-high price if it is put up for auction.

In the next period of time, Xiao Lin is not in a hurry to return to the 21st century. There are so many good things that he can't finish transporting now. If he doesn't take them out together, he is afraid that some of them will be damaged due to improper storage, which will be heartbreaking.

Ah. Besides, there are still 4,000 people who fell into Xiao Lin's hands because of the war, and they need to be dealt with properly. It's really too much for Xiao Lin to take in so many people at once. All his men are mobilized

, no one like these people would see the opportunity to cause trouble.

The methods are the same. They send their Indians and whites to explain to them the treatment on their side. Those who are willing to cooperate can enter the internship and inspection period and can enjoy some basic benefits. Those who are unwilling to cooperate can only stay in the prison camp.

Hungry.
