The winner of Jiang Xiaotian's bet with Colonel Anderson was Jiang Xiaotian, but Jiang Xiaotian, who won the bet, was not happy at all, because this meant that his previous guess was completely correct, and the British attack was two days later than he estimated, and the British army did not relaunch the offensive until November 18, 1781, and delayed for a week before starting the attack, which showed that the British army was completely prepared and a fierce battle was about to befall Richmond.

In this week's time, Ouyang Yu seized the time to train the troops to prepare materials, and urgently transferred many newly produced grenades and flintlock pistols and a large number of cold weapons from the rear, there were no automatic pistols and no submachine guns in the eighteenth century, but flintlock pistols and cold weapons were also more useful than long rifles in street fighting, and grenades were even more sharp weapons in street fighting, this time Ouyang Yu was confident that he would take Richmond.

In addition to training troops to transport materials, there was also an incident in this week, the Wilson family who attempted to assassinate Ouyang Yu was executed, Wilson, his eldest son and youngest son were hanged in the snow and became the corpses of hard Bangbang, his two daughters-in-law and little grandson were exiled because of Ouyang Yu's mercy, and what awaited them was an unknown cruel fate, but this was only a small episode, except for the exiled Wilson's widow, others quickly forgot about this matter.

At nine o'clock in the morning of November 18, 1781, the heavy snow that had fallen for three days finally stopped, and the sky was clear and it was a good weather for the attack, the artillery battalion of the 23rd Brigade of the British Expeditionary Force first launched an attack, and dozens of artillery pieces smashed the outer defense line re-established by the Continental Army, and then more than 1,000 soldiers of the Second Regiment approached the city of Richmond under the cover of artillery fire, and entered the city of Richmond without difficulty, but up to Ouyang Yu and down to the ordinary soldiers knew that this was only the beginning of the brutal street fighting.

The attacking British soldiers scattered in squads and platoons to search house by house along the streets, and the British soldiers carefully advanced close to the houses, and the rifles and pistols in their hands that had already been loaded with bayonets were aimed at the houses where the enemy might appear.

A group of ten British soldiers cautiously approached a house, the sergeant who led the team played a vigilant sign language, two British soldiers with pistols in one hand and short swords in the other were attached to the door of the room, the sergeant looked at the sign language of the attack again, and another British soldier took out a grenade and pulled the string, kicked open the door and threw the grenade in.

"Boom...... Boom......!"

The grenade detonated the improvised mine inside the house, and the two British soldiers attached to the door to the left and right of the door rushed into the house before the smoke cleared.

"Smack!"

The two Continental Army soldiers who were hiding in the house fell in response, and the two British soldiers who had missed the bullets dropped their pistols and yelled and rushed to the other Continental Army soldiers who had not recovered from the explosion, short swords were more effective than long rifles in the small house, and with the help of their comrades who rushed in after them, the two British soldiers quickly killed the Continental Army soldiers in the house.

"Mitch, Donner, you guys did a great job!"

The two British soldiers who got the sergeant's performance showed a hearty smile.

"Clean up, there are a lot of more hillbillies waiting for us to clean up!"

"Yes. ”

A group of Continental Army soldiers hiding on the second floor, waiting for the British soldiers downstairs to approach, suddenly pushed open the window and prepared to platoon guns, but the British soldiers who had already taken precautions pulled the trigger one step earlier, and the Continental Army soldiers who were about to shoot accepted a baptism of a row of guns, and were killed and wounded on the spot, and the rest did not aim, look or look, and pulled the trigger casually, and then quickly retracted their bodies.

"Retreat!"

According to the tactics, the Continental Army soldiers were about to evacuate immediately after a volley of guns, but when the group of Continental Army soldiers tried to leave, two smoke-emitting grenades were thrown in from behind the window.

"Boom! boom!"

The confined space increased the power of the grenades, and the screams of the Continental Army soldiers were drowned out by the explosions, and by the time the ambushed British soldiers rushed in, there were no one alive.

With targeted tactics and equipment, the Continental Army immediately showed the prototype after the tactics were restrained, and the soldiers of the Continental Army who wanted to teach the British army a lesson again were horrified to find that their previous tactics were ineffective but were killed and wounded by the British army, and the morale dropped sharply uncontrollably, and various tactical mistakes continued to appear, which further aggravated the disadvantage of the battle, so that the attacking second regiment occupied a large area of the street in one go, Ouyang Yu immediately threw a regiment into the battle to take the opportunity to expand the results.

The headquarters of the Continental Army, the battle reports from all over the place were sent to the headquarters, all of them were unfavorable news, looking at the battle reports, Colonel Anderson smiled bitterly at Jiang Xiaotian: "Sure enough, you said that the British army really made tactical adjustments, carried out infiltration operations with squads and platoons as units, equipped with a large number of pistols and cold weapons, and used a lot of grenades in the battle, the casualties of the young men were too great, should we be ready to implement Plan B?"

Jiang Xiaotian nodded and said: "Compared with the British soldiers, the morale, training, and equipment of our soldiers are too different, if it continues like this, it will indeed be detrimental to our army, so order to start Plan B." ”

The order was quickly given to the troops, and the Continental Army soldiers who had received the order were all relieved and began to withdraw from the outskirts of Richmond and assemble towards the middle of the city, where the Continental Army had built a large number of barricades and cleared a large open area, where the Continental Army soldiers could leisurely hide behind the strong barricades and easily shoot the British soldiers who had nowhere to hide in the open area.

A company of British soldiers was the first to arrive in the open area, and the captain and company commander, who had already killed the red-eyed, gave the order to charge without asking for instructions, resulting in heavy casualties for the company.

In order to ensure the continuity of fire, the soldiers of the Continental Army were divided into groups of three, the first person was best only responsible for shooting, and the two people in the back kept loading the first person to maintain continuous fire to inflict huge damage to the enemy, this tactic is also known as three-stage shooting.

"Bang bang bang...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Bang bang bang ......!"

Although the accuracy of the smoothbore flintlock pistol is not high, it can not stand the high-density shooting, the British soldiers in the charge continue to be shot and fall, the closer they rush, the greater the casualties, the last more than 100 people all fell on the way to the charge, during which there were no British soldiers raising their guns to fight back, but the shot lead bullet either did not hit the target, or was blocked by the strong barricades, and the Continental Army soldiers who wanted to hit the shooting hole behind the shooting hole in the charge were impossible with the firearms technology of the eighteenth century, so the Continental Army played an impossible record of more than 0 to 100。 (To be continued.) )
