Chapter 184: Grab a sum of money first
"Bang!" Alexander. John. With a slight tremble, Forsyth pulled the trigger in his hand.
"Dang!" An extremely crisp sound sounded, and a strong man on a horse, wearing a Mongolian helmet and wearing a beautiful armor, shook his head sharply, and then fell to the ground with his feet facing the air and did not move.
Clearing the barrel, pouring gunpowder, putting lead bullets, and pressing through the strips, every step of Forsyth seemed to be full of a certain beauty, and he reloaded this extremely difficult Minin front-loading rifled gun in forty seconds.
"Bang!" There was another crisp sound, and the golden-helmeted officer, who had just taken over the command of the Mongolian helmeted officer, fell down again, and this was already the third person killed by Forsyth, who was half-crouched in front of the line as a light infantryman.
He suddenly felt that killing people was no different from hunting wild ducks, no! It's still a little different, at least Forsyth is extraordinarily excited, and an emotion that seems to have been suppressed for a long time is rampaging through his body.
"Well done! John, after occupying this city for a while, you pick the women first, and let you grab a handful of gold and silver first! ”
One of the French light infantry lieutenants commanding them complimented him loudly, "Boys! Stand back and get ready to charge with the big army! ”
Forsyth slowly stepped back, thrusting his bayonet into his gun as he retreated, and the line of infantry lined up in a neat row around him had already pressed on.
And their enemy, a rabble of thousands gathered by a Mysore princely king, rushed over with all kinds of weapons shouting and screaming, and when there were still a hundred meters to go, many of them set off their arquebuses in their hands.
Forsyth shook his head, the opponent of this level, even the Ottomans, no, even the Algiers tribes in North Africa are far inferior, although they are thousands more than their own side, but they are doomed.
Sure enough, when the two sides approached more than fifty meters, a neat platoon of guns rang out, and after two rounds of firing shots, a strange charge horn sounded, and everyone took their bayonets and began to rush, and the Mysoreans on the opposite side did not resist for long before they collapsed, and thousands of people fled in the direction of the city like frightened rabbits.
The skyrocketing fire, the screams, the crying, and, of course, the wild laughter, Forsyth followed his Minin rifled gun around with his squad of soldiers.
They passed a wide house, and as they approached a few light infantry with guns, a stout French man drove them away.
"You have to go a little further in the place of your light infantry company, this belongs to the second company of the line infantry, don't think about stealing our trophies!"
A few people could only run forward with guns in hand, and finally in the east of the city, they found a place belonging to the light infantry company, which was divided before entering the city, and the loot should also be divided into regions, and they could not mess around!
"John! Come on, come here, Lao Tzu said that he would give you the first woman, Lieutenant Ben did what he said, you see those boys are hungry, this is the most beautiful! ”
The lieutenant grabbed a handful of blonde hair and shouted at Forsyth, behind the lieutenant, the light infantry company to which they belonged was basically there, everyone was coaxing, and everyone's eyes also showed a look that could only be seen on wild beasts!
Forsyth pinched his throat a little nervously, he looked at the lieutenant, under the golden hair, on a beautiful face, tears flowed freely, because the corners of the mouth pulled up by pain showed that the blonde girl was suffering greatly, but she still did not dare to disobey in the slightest!
An extremely unreal feeling struck Forsyth, eight months ago he was a teenager hunting wild ducks in Aberdeen, Scotland, and now, eight months later, he is a soldier who is more skilled in killing people than wild ducks!
The point is that he still enjoys the feeling of harvesting the lives of his enemies, which is much more exciting than fighting wild ducks or something!
However, thinking of these experiences, Forsyth suddenly felt irritable and afraid, if it wasn't for the fact that when those bandits threw themselves into the Thames, they happened to run into the patrolling police, and he would have drowned!
But those policemen were not good things, and when they saw themselves in the water, none of them were willing to go into the water to rescue, and in the end they were rescued by the departing Seris fleet.
Although he was forced to come to the East, it was better than losing his life, and Forsyth decided to spend some time in the Ceris fleet, and then find a chance to return to England when he made some money!
"Lieutenant! I....! Forsyth said no, in a hoarse voice, but suddenly he couldn't say any more, and the lieutenant looked at him and grinned.
"John, you're not going to be a novice, are you? I'm not afraid to go to the battlefield, but I'm still afraid of this? Enjoy, boy, we don't have much time! ”
Boxes of gold coins, silver coins and gold utensils, and hundreds of flintlock pistols, Ye Kai couldn't help but sigh when he looked at these trophies, these Ah San's ability to save money is really not covered, a small town of thousands of people can even scavenge such treasures and muskets.
But it's a little strange why the Mysoreans who fought against them would rather use arquebuses than these flintlock pistols?
But doubts are doubts, he has to hurry up, because the Mysore people at this time are not those singing and dancing Ah San in later generations, they still have some combat effectiveness, and now they are only a patchwork rabble, not the regular army of the Mysoreans.
It's just that what Ye Kai doesn't know is that the current Kingdom of Mysore is a country established by the Celestial Christians of India, and the lord of the small city-state he attacked is a small Hindu princely state attached to the Sultan, and these flintlock pistols belong to the Mysore Sultan, and the tax collectors of this small princely state do not dare to use the weapons stored in the Sudan's warehouse.
The previous Sultan of Mysore and the current Thipu Sultan, both of whom were successful in Indian history, built their own new armies with the support of France and the Dutch, and paid a great price to the British in the first two Mysore wars.
If Ye Kai didn't have a strong fleet, he wouldn't dare to come to the Mysore Kingdom casually to make trouble, because the Western-style army of the entire Mysore Kingdom is at least more than 55,000 people.
Twenty times that of Ye Kai, it is not at all that Ye Kai's more than 2,000 people can fight against, so he took the opportunity of Tipu Sultan going north to confront the British army, and came to grab a handful and left!
"Louie, Henry, the lads must have had enough, let's get ready to set sail! A little later, the main Mysore army in Hyderabad will come! ”
Ye Kai faced the two officers beside him, Major Louis of the First Regiment. Gaston and Henry of the 2nd Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Elber said.
"Obey the orders of Your Excellency, it is impossible for the army not to loot to boost morale, but looting too much may cause a decline in military discipline, if the soldiers benefit too much from the raid, the determination to kill the enemy on the battlefield will not be so firm!"
Henry. Elber nodded and replied, the richness of these Mysore people was really beyond his expectations, and now each soldier had received almost the equivalent of ten livres, enough to build morale.
"Williams, I've inquired, there is no one named Hydram at all, and in fact this is not a name, but a title possessed by the previous generation of Sultan Haider vassals.
So we may not be able to exact your brother and niece's revenge, but today you can see that the people of Mysore have paid a terrible price for their past evil deeds! ”
Ye Kai looked at Williams, who was standing on his left. Baker said that through the eight months of contact on the ship, Ye Kai was sure that this guy had real talent and could indeed help him build an arsenal that made and repaired several types of firearms such as the Brown Bes.
What's more, this guy has a twelve-year-old son, a man named Ichkiel. Baker's young man has a very good knowledge of firearms.
Ye Kai guessed that it was either Williams or his son Ichkill who invented the Baker rifled gun in history, so Ye Kai attached great importance to this Williams.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, as you say, my brother's revenge with his niece has been avenged, the Mysore people have paid a heavy price, you have fulfilled the old Williams's request, and now it is time for me to play for you!" As he spoke, Williams touched his chest with one hand and bowed deeply to Ye Kai.
"Brigadier General, Governor Lawriston, the Governor of Local Governance, has sent a messenger inviting us to come to Local Governance to make things up.
There have been many Tamils who have recently converted to our Lord, and he wants to ask Bishop Peter to help with the baptism! ”
Louis on the right. Gaston took out a letter and handed it to Ye Kai, "The messenger is just outside the door, do you want to see Your Excellency the Brigadier General!" ”
Ye Kai pretended to open the envelope and shook the letterhead, in fact, he didn't look at it and knew what the local governor of Lauriston was thinking.
