On August 11, 1781, the thirteenth day of the siege of Petersburg, Washington, the leader of the North American Continental Army, finally led his troops to evacuate Petersburg with hatred, although he was very unwilling but he had to withdraw, because General Montgomery, who had repelled the French army in the south, had led the main force of 20,000 British troops to the north to reinforce, if he did not retreat, he would be attacked from both sides, and it would be difficult for him to leave at that time.

On August 13, 1781, General Montgomery sent a forward force to Petersburg, and on August 14, the main force led by General Montgomery also reached Petersburg and joined Ouyang Yu's 131st Regiment in victory.

"Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to see you again!"

Ouyang Yu saluted and shook hands with General Montgomery.

"Colonel Catherine, I'm also very happy to see you again, I already know about your heavy damage to more than 10,000 rebels in Petersburg, I really can't imagine that Washington actually went north after the defeat, and even more unexpected is that you actually defeated about six times the enemy with 3,000 troops, Colonel Catherine, I want to apologize to you, I underestimated you and your troops before, I'm sorry, I hope that you and I can make more contributions to Her Majesty in the future." ”

"Yes, the lower official will definitely live up to the expectations of His Excellency the General, God bless my emperor!" Ouyang Yu shouted a slogan and saluted again.

"God bless my emperor...... God bless my emperor...... God bless my emperor ......!" × N, the surrounding British soldiers were infected by Ouyang Yu and kept shouting slogans together, and the words God bless my emperor floated in the sky over the entire Petersburg, which frightened the local residents of Petersburg.

After a sumptuous luncheon, General Montgomery was slightly excited to inquire about the specific process of the siege, Ouyang Yu did not hide the detailed description of the battle process to him, and when he heard the Mini rifle, General Montgomery immediately interrupted Ouyang Yu's words.

"You're saying you've invented a new rifle that can be easily loaded and accurately shoot hundreds of meters away?!"

The shameless Ouyang Yu took the invention of the Mini rifle to himself, "Yes, come on!"

A soldier armed with a Mini rifle walked in, Ouyang Yu took the Mini rifle from the soldier's hand and said, "This is the new rifle I invented, which I have named the M1781 rifle." ”

As a soldier, how can anyone not love weapons, after listening to Ouyang Yu's introduction to the Mini rifle, General Montgomery couldn't wait to give it a try to see if the rifle in his hand was really as good as Ouyang Yu's introduction, if it was true, then the rifle in his hand would change the world's war model.

Calling all the main senior officers of the British army, Ouyang Yu and General Montgomery came to the shooting range together, and General Montgomery aimed at the target a hundred meters away according to Ouyang Yu's instructions and pulled the trigger.

"Smack!"

After a puff of white smoke, a hole appeared in the center of the target a hundred meters away.

The excited General Montgomery shot two hundred meters and three hundred meters away from the target in a row, he was almost sixty years old, except for leaving two holes in the two hundred meters of the target, the rest of the distance of the target did not hit, but this did not affect his love for the Minnie rifle in his hand, General Montgomery called the soldier with the best marksmanship, let the soldier continue to shoot, the result completely made him overjoyed, even if it was a target six hundred meters away, the soldier was three out of ten shots, almost 100 shots within 300 meters.

"Colonel Catherine, have you applied for a patent for a new rifle? If not, then please apply for it immediately, I can't wait to see my boys have one of these rifles. ”

Ouyang Yu smiled slightly, and whispered beside General Montgomery: " Your Excellency General, I haven't applied for a patent yet, and it's too late to apply for a patent now, but even if you don't have a patent for the time being, you can equip this new rifle on a large scale, as long as you temporarily put the arsenal on the North American continent under my name in some way, in fact, the new rifle can be modified through the old rifle we use now, if you can scrap the old rifle and send it to me, and then I will refurbish and modify it in the name of the new rifle and then equip the troops, I am willing to share the profits generated with you。 ”

General Montgomery looked left and right at the other officers, and after finding that none of them had noticed his conversation with Ouyang Yu, he asked, "I wonder how Your Highness the Princess plans to share the profits with me?"

"How about three-seven? You are three, I am seven. ”

General Montgomery calculated for a moment and felt that he had suffered a loss, and he said unceremoniously: "Four-six, I am four, you are six." ”

"Deal, I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

Ouyang Yu and General Montgomery's hands were clasped together again.

After reaching an ulterior agreement, Ouyang Yu continued to ask: "Actually, in addition to the new rifle, I also invented a new type of artillery and a new type of bomb, I wonder if His Excellency the General is willing to continue to cooperate?"

General Montgomery made a gesture of listening, "Tell me about it." ”

"The principle of the new rifle can also be used in artillery, the smoothbore gun into a rifled gun, the ammunition is loaded in one piece, not only the shooting speed is greatly accelerated, but also the accuracy and range will be greatly improved, the same way, it can also be modified with the old artillery, and the ammunition is a flowering bullet, the mechanical impact triggers the fuse, the production of shells is also relatively simple, the profit in this is much greater than the rifle, the profit of the new bomb carried by the infantry is also higher, the production is simpler, the consumption is also large, a battle down tens of thousands or even more is possible, how general, do not do it？”

The treacherous and cunning General Montgomery did not agree immediately, but asked Ouyang Yu to make a sample cannon for display first, and Ouyang Yu, who had absolute confidence in himself, agreed, saying that it could be successfully made and displayed in a month.

The British army led by General Montgomery and the British army led by Ouyang Yu are in urgent need of recuperation in successive battles, and there will be no large-scale combat missions for the time being, so General Montgomery nodded and agreed to Ouyang Yu's display a month later, but before that, the grenade was ready-made, Ouyang Yu immediately showed the power of the grenade in front of General Montgomery and many officers, and General Montgomery immediately ordered Ouyang Yu to make every effort to produce grenades and strive for technical superiority for future battles.

And the retreating Washington was not willing to be defeated, and ordered the Mini rifle and grenade given to him by the green-haired girl to be copied, and both sides of the war have changed dramatically under the influence of a certain traverser, and the North American war of independence has become more and more confusing.
