When leaving Langnan Tower, the Fa Lan West expedition team also fell behind Yang Meng openly, and Yang Meng did not stop him, this time, he invited them to watch the play, and it was a good thing for these people to walk brightly.

Following all the way, these expeditions from Fa Lan Xi were also very familiar with the terrain around Mae Sai, Chiang Saen, and Luang Nam Pagoda, and found a small village on a hill and stopped.

"This group of dogs is careful, this realm is a platform to watch the battle, and they have long understood it."

The behavior of the expedition to the west of the law also made Yang Meng's heart ripple, this group of bastards must not have been plotting for a day or two, and it was easy to choose a place to watch the battle, if you are not familiar with the terrain, it is difficult to do.

In a team of more than 100 people, it is absolutely impossible to have too powerful generals, and if this speculation is ruled out, the rest can only be planned for a long time.

Like the scientific expedition in England, this French expedition also brought a large number of gold and silver coins, what is this for, you don't need to think about it, you can buy people's hearts!

After the French expedition was stationed, Yang Meng had nothing to plan, and now he was just waiting for the English side to make a statement.

In a month's time, the condition of Yunnan was good, and the 300 light and heavy artillery pieces on the Dali side were also on the way to transport, and Yang Meng, who was idle and had nothing to do, helped Ma Qinghu train the new group of Blue Flag Army.

The firing range of the small cannon is only a few hundred meters, and the fire. The rate of fire of the gun is only three or five rounds a minute, and the development of the military industry determines the form of the war, and positional warfare can only be an idea now. In the end, it is the white-knuckle battle that determines the outcome of the battle.

British troops stationed in the Mess and Serbia. Definitely a crack soldier. It should be the size of a regiment, this British advance regiment, equipped with six artillery pieces, according to the information on its side, this should be an artillery company, plus more than a hundred horses, this British advance regiment can be regarded as a composite unit.

The camp of the British army. A defensive earthen wall was also built, and the preparation was relatively sufficient.

Coupled with Old Jack's 394 people, this British advance regiment is also a small 2,000 people, and the infantry accounts for the vast majority, no matter who advances and who retreats on both sides, white-knuckle battles are inevitable.

The equipment of the Blue Banner Army, like that of the New Army, is one gun, one large blade, and two bayonets, and this configuration is in the process of white-knuckle warfare. A rifle with a bayonet installed becomes a burden. In cold weapon combat, although it is an inch long and an inch strong, the maneuverability of a large blade is better than that of a bayonet.

One of the most immediate advantages is that you don't have to work hard to pull out the bayonet that has pierced the opponent's body, which undoubtedly speeds up the killing.

The British army on the opposite side used a triangular . Sting, although the lethality of this thing is good, but after piercing into the human body, if you want to pull it out, most of the time you have to add a kick, Yang Meng tried it himself, and also let the soldiers of the Blue Flag Army try it, stab the bayonet and then pull it out, the big blade can at least be picked up two or three times, two or three times and one, such a comparison, directly makes the bayonet useless.

However, it is not realistic to throw away the rifle in your hand after the fight, and it is likely that the opponent will seize the flaw and take the opportunity to withdraw and reload, which is undoubtedly a loophole to increase your own casualties.

In order to allow the opponent to participate in the white-knuckle battle smoothly, Yang Meng also thought of a bad move, throwing a gun! Throwing a rifle with a bayonet at close range and drawing a knife to pounce on the opponent while the opponent is in a hurry not only speeds up the killing, but also does a considerable amount of damage when the bayonet is thrown.

Generally integrated the Blue Flag Army, the next training, mainly is to throw a rifle within ten meters, this thing is also skillful, one-handed lethality is insufficient, both hands are easy to hit horizontally, both hands throw guns, it has become a training project for recruits of the Blue Flag Army.

Because of the need to face the bayonet, there is no return to the eight knives of the starting style, that is, one palm forward, one hand to draw the knife, one palm forward push is a combination of virtual and real tricks, the enemy is near, this palm is a real trick, just to withdraw people from the knife to be knifed. The enemy is far away, this palm is a combination of virtual and real, there is a chance to grab the gun, you have to seize it, take the opportunity to make up for a knife, there is no chance to catch the gun, most opponents will also make a conditioned reflex, put the rifle in front of you, without the threat of a bayonet, this knife down, your own casualties will be much smaller.

After the first knife, it is time to draw the gun, the right hand big knife and the left pistol, and the lethality of melee comes out.

Since this time it was tentative, the revolver and the rear load. Guns, in addition to Yang Meng's guards, the Blue Flag Army is not equipped, there is no revolver, although the lethality is a lot smaller, but the two-handed knife, but also increases the staying power of white-knuckle combat, whether this big blade is practical or not, or needs to be tested in actual combat, some experience, not necessarily everywhere.

The advantage of the British army is that they have been in battle for a long time, they are veterans who have been baptized in actual combat, and then the discipline of the British army, this is a topic that has to be said, a disciplined army is the most terrifying, and a disciplined veteran is the nightmare of the battlefield.

Yang Meng has encountered both, but his side is not useless, although the Blue Flag Army has not been on the battlefield, but these people are using this to support their families, for most of the deaths of the Yunnan New Army, they can still see it, take money to sell their lives, this is the relationship between the New Army and the Yang family.

This money is very important for the soldiers of the new army, this is the rations of the family, those who have experienced famine, for rations, it is more important than life, and the military heart is available!

Another is the proportion of artillery, although the artillery of the Yunnan New Army is also separated from the infantry, but each infantry must be equipped with a certain number of artillery for its actions.

The number of Yunnan New Army and the proportion of artillery owned by the Yunnan New Army are definitely the highest in the world, the three-pounder guns eliminated by European and American countries, the Yang family has purchased several thousand, and the medium artillery of more than three pounds has one or two thousand, and the land artillery of more than 24 pounds, the Yunnan New Army is also equipped with nearly 1,000 guns, such heavy artillery, most of them are used for siege in Europe and the United States, but Yang Meng turned them into field artillery.

These guns, whether they are three-pounder cannons or more than twenty-four-pounder cannons, are mostly flowering or scattershot, and although they are not very dominant in range, the fragmentation lethality is absolutely great.

Counting the light and heavy artillery on the road, there are already nearly 400 artillery pieces in this small place of Mengla. That's enough to sustain a war of twenty or thirty thousand people at a time.

The military heart is available, and the number of artillery is superior. This is the advantage of Yang Meng. As for the elite veterans on the other side, Yang Meng didn't care much, the number was too small!

The British army only has 2,000 people, and their own side does not count the manpower of Wuzhuang, the Blue Flag Army has more than 9,000 people, and the mountain monkeys have 1,500 people, and there is no shortage of ammunition and supplies, plus they are in charge. Yang Meng didn't believe that these more than 10,000 people would be defeated by 2,000 people from the front.

As for the sneak attack, only their own sneak attack on the British army, the British army has no chance to sneak attack their own, Mengla area, the mountains are full of Yang Ba's mountain monkeys, two people are all over the mountains and forests, Yang Meng's sentinels are much more than the British army.

And the British army, who were unfamiliar with the place, did not dare to send small-scale scouts. A patrol of more than two dozen people, plus a wooden tower in the barracks. It's their eyes.

In terms of strength, Yang Meng has the strength to defeat this British advance regiment in one fell swoop, but he does not intend to do so.

The 9,000 Blue Banner Army was also organized into five battalions, one battalion of 2,000 infantry, one battalion of artillery, and one battalion of artillery.

To put it bluntly, this temptation, Yang Meng just wants to test the new army in Yunnan with his life, although it is a little cruel and inhumane, but the advantages of this thing outweigh the disadvantages, and it must be done.

In this actual battle, the first thing Yang Meng needs to look at is the shortcomings of the new army, find out, and change them! That's the main purpose.

Secondly, it is to let the new army adapt to hot weapon combat, several times up and down Yunnan, there are really few people who have experienced hot weapon combat, Yang Meng's expectation in his heart is that this time the test will last two or three months, and the casualty figure in his heart is six thousand! As long as one-third of the Blue Flag Army adapts to actual combat and grows up in actual combat, it will be a great harvest for the entire Yunnan New Army.

Third, it is to look at the level of war of the following strengths, England is undoubtedly the best benchmark, as long as the British army's combat strength and tactics are clear, Yang Meng can make a reasonable response.

Fourth, of course, it is to show the strength of Yunnan's land warfare, so that the British and French powers can judge the combat strength of the Yunnan Army by themselves, so that they do not dare to land and fight at will, which is the result that Yang Meng wants.

Fifth, and most importantly, he forced Britain and France to sit in front of them, talk about buying and selling, and negotiate trade, and open up trade routes for Yunnan to communicate with the outside world from the southeast peninsula.

Yang Meng wants too much, but the risk in this is also great, Yunyan is a factor that makes the powers crazy, once it fails, it will be the country wide open, and Yunnan will be eroded.

The other is the determination of the English, if they are bound to win Yunyan, even if they have Wei Huozi's backhand, Yang Meng may not be able to control the situation of the war.

There is also the performance of the Blue Flag Army, if the performance is too strong, it is not a good thing, this is a temptation, a few slaps are enough, if you beat people out of the intestines, it is easy to frighten others.

People are frightened and have to huddle, in case they provoke Britain and France to join forces, then this scene will be a mess.

There are casualties on both sides, you are 10,000 and I am 8,000, that is called winning and losing each other, after the fight, no one will feel that it is not enough! You only die 1,800 and change tens of thousands of lives, which is a complete victory, and the result of such a fight is to force Britain and France into a boat.

Asia to Europe and the United States, especially Britain and France in Europe, is a new colony, representing interests, the emergence of an unrivaled force, is absolutely a disaster, once Yang Meng this temptation, made too much, Britain and France to abandon the previous suspicions, jointly deal with the Qing Dynasty, is also expected.

Britain and France, who are evenly divided in land warfare and feel that their navy is strong, will not join forces at the first time, after all, they still have advantages and old feuds, and with the bargaining chip of Yunyan, the big guys will have a basis for peace talks.

These things are all analyzed by Yang Meng based on the intelligence of the shadow, and when he comes to such a conclusion, Yang Meng can only be said to be roughly reliable, after all, some news is a year or two ago, and the delay in information is also a constraint for Yang Meng.

Without timely information, it is difficult to make a correct analysis of some things, but Britain and France joined forces to deal with the Qing Dynasty, but Yang Meng knew the truth, and now he is playing this in order to exacerbate the contradictions between Britain and France in Asia.

These two countries have an old feud, although the Falanxi suffered most of the time, but the performance is also remarkable, Milican's independence, Falanxi has helped a lot, if it is in Asia again, it is not impossible.

But there is one thing that needs to be vigilant, that is, interests, Fa Lanxi is also here for interests, without enough interests, this calf will not easily get on the boat.

The cake has already been prepared by Yang Meng, whether he is willing to eat it or not depends on the ambition of the Frenchman!

The Blue Flag Army is training, Yang Meng is also happy to have this training time, and he has run in fewer dead people, although this time he tried Yang Meng to prepare for the dead, but it is not possible to die in vain, one for another, this is not a loss.

There is also good news that the British troops stationed in the United States did not attach much importance to the Qing Dynasty, but only built a temporary camp, and did not dig trenches or anything, and it seems that they did not plan to defend it.

Yang Meng, who was waiting for the war, did not wait for the desired result, and the British army actually sent a patrol with a white flag, which made a deep sense.

"Third master, someone from England has come to say that it is an old Jack who wants to negotiate with you."

What was brought over there was a word of mouth, Xu Ziwei frowned and said the other party's request, and let Yang Meng go over in person, he felt that it was a trap.

"Negotiations? I'm him! This is to set up the archway first! (To be continued......)
