1717 New American Empire

"What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"Okay, here's the thing. The enemy appeared in the sight of the patrol at six o'clock in the morning today. Now he is staying 800 meters away from the wooden wall. It seems that he is making breakfast."

"telescope."

"here."

Before Kent and Clark had time to get up, several messengers called them up. Before they could get angry, the messengers told the two of them about the discovery of the enemy. The two also received warnings from their families. During this time,

They were always on alert. How could they still feel sleepy when they heard that the enemy was really coming? Without asking the maid to help, they immediately put on their military uniforms and followed the messenger to the wooden wall.

After Xiao Lin's attack, the two of them were a little disheartened. For a month, the two of them completely degenerated into playboys who only knew how to eat, drink and play with women. However, their talents made it impossible for both families to give up.

After more than half a month of hard work and various methods, they finally cheered up. They were sent to the town again, each leading their own family's army. After all, there are now two thousand people in the town.

In the army of 500 people, the Adams family is stronger, with 1,500 people, while the Pandey family only has 1,000 people.

The two took the monocular telescope from their deputy and carefully observed the escort of Yanhuang Trading Company eight hundred meters away from the wooden wall. As escort soldiers who had received military training in the 21st century, they arrived near the enemy's territory and were the first to

What they do is build fortifications.

Iron caltrops specially used to deal with cavalry, barbed wire fences to prevent large-scale enemy charges, 1.8-meter-deep trenches for soldiers to hide in and shoot, and cat-ear holes that have a strong protective effect against shelling, all of which must be built.

Even if the cat's ear holes are not very necessary due to the poor performance of current front-loaded artillery, Xiao Lin also asked the soldiers to carefully build them according to the knowledge they have learned. Even with high-quality stainless steel engineer shovels, they still spent more than two

It took hours to complete the basic construction.

The reason why we chose to build the fortifications 800 meters away is because the artillery in Xiao Lin's hands here can exert sufficient power. After using new gunpowder and improving the barrel technology, these front-loaded artillery can also be used within 800 meters.

Hitting a target slightly larger than a human. Even if the hit rate is only about 60%, it is better than getting too close and being destroyed by the concentrated fire of enemy artillery. Because the enemy's artillery is still mounted on a wooden structure seven or eight meters high.

On the wall, Xiao Lin asked the soldiers to modify the style of the closed fort in the 20th century and build a sufficiently strong fort facility.

When the attack officially starts, it is when the fort is built, which will take about two hours. The reason why it takes so long is because there are only a hundred people building it, and the rest are all in place, pointing rifles and submachine guns at the fort.

The gate of the town is guarding against enemy cavalry rushing out to attack the construction soldiers. Although the telescopes in Kent and Clark's hands are not as powerful as those in the 21st century, they can still see the guard soldiers who have been on guard. Their only one hundred cavalry remaining,

But you can't just waste it like this.

The muskets and artillery were unable to fire, and the cavalry and infantry did not dare to let them leave the protection of the city wall. Kent and Clark did not have much choice. Now, the two could only ask the soldiers to reinforce the city defenses again, hoping that the reinforcements would

Defense facilities can block enemy artillery fire. Mortars are indeed not good artillery for destroying fortifications. They are designed to kill soldiers in trenches and destroy machine gun positions.

Since the last time Xiao Lin used mortars to break down the gate and part of the city wall, the two families have been strengthening the city wall. Because the wooden wall has been built, it is impossible to demolish and rebuild it. They can only fill key parts with stones and lime

They also used bricks and stones to build a defensive wall on the wooden wall. However, in order to prevent the direct-fire artillery on the city wall from being unable to attack the target, they could not heighten the wall facing the outside for defense.

Mortar's deflection projectile.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the construction of the fort's defense facilities was completed, and the soldiers began to boil hot water and make instant noodles to eat. The very tempting fragrance floated along the wind to the city wall, where the town soldiers who had been on guard since early morning

The growling sounds of their stomachs are really connected. Compared with them who can only eat bread with cold water, being able to eat a bowl of steaming instant noodles is the best treatment during the autumn battle. For this reason, the soldiers

They also stood up and ate arrogantly, as if they were showing off.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the soldiers took a nap after breakfast, and the mortar team was preparing to start the attack. After ten minutes of aiming, they had locked the target. The three six-pound guns placed on the city wall were theirs.

The target must be knocked out in the first step. The mortar was located a thousand meters away from the city wall. Kent and the others had no choice but to be bombed passively. The captain of the mortar team used the intercom to report that Xiao Lin had finished aiming, and Xiao Lin immediately

Order to shoot.

"Dong dong dong!"

The unique sound of three mortars was fired, and two seconds later, three huge fires appeared on the city wall. After three huge explosions, Kent clearly saw the turrets of three six-pound guns collapse, and the surrounding soldiers,

They were all smashed into sieves by gravel and iron fragments. Fortunately, the gunpowder was not placed nearby, otherwise it might explode and cause greater casualties. Kent did not expect that after not seeing each other for two months, these people's combat effectiveness would further improve.

increased.

"Well done to the mortar team. Keep aiming at the exposed enemy forts. Be sure to aim well before shooting. We have plenty of time. Don't be anxious. Once the mission is completed, we will go back and distribute the bonuses."

"yes!"

After two months of intensive simulation training, the technical level of all the soldiers responsible for operating mortars has greatly improved, especially the elite of the twelve selected elites. As long as you don't rush, calm down, aim and shoot slowly

, the hit rate can be maintained at more than 90%. This terrible hit rate really frightened the soldiers of the two families when they destroyed nine forts. Everyone stayed away from the forts.

Not to mention rescuing the cannon, they wanted to run further for fear of being affected by the explosion.

Thirty rounds of artillery shells were fired, and the 27 artillery pieces deployed by the two families on the city wall were all knocked off by the 120mm mortars. The mortar team ended its mission, packed up the mortars, and began maintenance work.

Cool and wipe, then put it in the weapon box that Xiao Lin did not bring with him and store it. When the mortar team retreated, Xiao Lin had already ordered his fifteen front-loaded artillery to fire.

There are many white men here, and they have selected many white soldiers who have been in the artillery unit or have been exposed to front-loaded artillery. There are also three Indians who have also joined the artillery unit because of their fast learning speed. Regarding front-loading artillery,

Operation, later generations have long summarized the best and most efficient operating procedures, and this is not the first time they have operated these artillery. Because the ammunition for these artillery can be manufactured by themselves, they have already conducted a second operation after obtaining this batch of artillery.

More than a dozen shooting training sessions.

More than two hundred rounds of artillery shells were consumed in succession. Their proficiency with these artillery was not inferior to that of the British regular army. Using new gunpowder and alloy shells, the range and power were one-third greater than the artillery of the same caliber owned by the two families.

About one hour. At this time, there were only twelve three-pound cannons left on the wooden walls of the town. After three concentrated fires, all of them lost their combat effectiveness. Now that the artillery had been dealt with, Xiao Lin led the infantry and began to move towards

Go forward.

When they reached a distance of two hundred meters from the city wall, the soldiers stopped. Since the enemy's rate of fire was not high, they did not need to pursue a high rate of fire. Each soldier could aim for five minutes before shooting again, because the enemy's rate of fire was not high.

Without them. Even with the help of the city wall, Kent and his men can only guarantee the killing effect on the convoy soldiers within 150 meters. Kent saw that all the soldiers who emerged from the wooden wall were hit, and felt in his heart

I was also so anxious that I felt like I had called all these people off the city wall.

Xiao Lin always used the high-power telescope used in the 1980s that he bought from the army to observe the enemy. He could see the enemy clearly within a range of several hundred meters. Now that the battle target had been achieved, the artillery had also moved its target.

The gate of the town was just an ordinary wooden gate. Ten six-pound cannons blasted the gate down after one shot. However, when Xiao Lin saw the scene behind the gate, he roared out.

"Get down quickly!"

Kent and the others also learned wisely and knew that they were no match for the Yanhuang Trading Company in terms of long-range firepower, so they planned to bring the battle to close range. With the support of the two tribes regardless of cost, the entire town could have sixty guns.

Although there were no large-caliber artillery pieces, there were plenty of three-pounders. A total of fifteen guns were placed behind the gate of the town. When the gate fell down, the convoy soldiers were exposed to the muzzle of the cannon.

Kent and the others did not fire solid shells, but nails and gravel. Some soldiers reacted quickly. When they heard Xiao Lin's roar, they lay on the ground reflexively and escaped. However, most of the soldiers still failed.

After reacting, he was hit hard by these things. Fortunately, Xiao Lin, with the mentality of being careful and not making big mistakes, made these attacking soldiers wear breastplates and leather armors that had been previously made or captured from the Adams family army.

So far, no one has died for this.

Seeing that the enemy was preparing for the second shot, Xiao Lin picked up the submachine gun next to him and sprinted towards the city gate with all his speed. While running, he yelled, asking all the soldiers to immediately shoot the artillery behind the city gate. The soldiers roared at Xiao Lin

In the middle, he woke up from his daze. He used rifles, pistols, submachine guns and grenades to hit the enemy's artillery into chaos.
