"Buzz!"

At five o'clock in the morning, the terrible battle alarm sounded in the town, and all the soldiers who had arrived at their combat positions in advance to rest immediately got up and made a gesture of aiming and shooting. Shoren traveled to the defensive section of the company where Apache was located, and with Apache he observed the British Army as it began to move towards the town.

As the most combat-ready of the four companies, almost all of them are proficient in the use of formal rifles. The warriors of the Eagle Tribe, who accounted for two-thirds of the company's soldiers, changed their minds, put down their bows and arrows, and picked up their rifles. Therefore, the first company was responsible for defending the front of the enemy's attack. It was the first time for Apache to be in charge of such an important combat mission, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and Xiao Lin was specially here to help him.

The two of them kept observing the enemy with binoculars, trying to find out as much as possible about the enemy's situation. This unit is well-trained at a glance, and every move in the march is quite orderly. The weapon also looks brand new, although it is still not as good as a formal rifle, but it also looks like it should not be underestimated. Fully equipped, the important parts are protected by cuirasses. Behind the infantry, there were twenty front-loading guns, which looked much larger in caliber than before.

Sholin and his wife are looking at the enemy with a 21st-century telescope, and Kent is looking at the town with an 18th-century telescope. Although the 18th-century telescope was not only poor in observation but also very expensive because of the manufacturing process, if it were not for the support of his family, Kent would not have been able to distribute one of his thirty henchmen. However, they can only see a rough idea. He could see the soldiers on the guard towers and fences, but his weapons were still not fully visible.

Last night, he led his men to a location near this town. Because the town was brightly lit and seemed to have a tight defense, he did not rush to let his men attack, but let his men repair and prepare to attack at this time. Although he wanted to attack at two o'clock in the morning, when everyone was very sleepy, there were two thousand men, all kinds of troops, and it was too troublesome to mobilize, and finally it was delayed until five o'clock.

However, Kent still felt that he should not lose, and the army of two thousand was not something that this pitifully small town could resist. He did not immediately send the infantry, and when he was four hundred meters from the town, the army stopped, and the runners rolled out their cannons and began to prepare for firing. And the town is also starting to prepare for shooting. Because Xiao Lin's men did not have enough good artillery man, they did not attack when the enemy moved, and only after they stopped could they destroy the enemy's artillery in one fell swoop.

Mortars have a number of advantages over front-loading guns, the most important of which is that they do not require the need to reload gunpowder and shells with great difficulty. As long as the aim is good, the shell is put in through the muzzle, and after a second it will leave the barrel. And the mortar is a curved artillery, which will not be affected by the fortifications and the enemy in front of it. Sholin tried to delay as much time as he could, as long as he attacked before the enemy opened fire. With the help of high-imitation military binoculars, he could see clearly the movement of the enemy's artillery at a distance of 400 meters.

The enemy was also conducting tests, and a small cannon fired first, hitting the ground more than ten meters in front of the fence, splashing a cloud of dirt. Frightened, Xiao Lin's soldiers almost wanted to shoot, but fortunately, the platoon commanders of each company suppressed them. The enemy looked at the firing and slowly adjusted the muzzle angle. Then, one by one, the soldiers took the cannon plugs and began to reload the gunpowder and shells. Sholin hastened to signal for all the mortar gunners to shoot.

According to the process taught by Xiao Lin, the deputy gunner took out the shell in the box, aimed it at the muzzle, let go of his hand, and the shell fell into the chamber.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Ten 120-mm mortar shells burst out in ten consecutive rounds. Shawlin's command was correct, and after a long period of aiming, all ten soldiers operating the mortars were aiming in the right direction. Only one shell, because the gunners nervously hit the edge of the enemy's artillery camp, killing three soldiers operating the cannons. The remaining nine shells, all of which hit the middle of the twenty cannons. The explosives of the 70s of the 20th century gave these nine shells far more power than the shells of the 18th century.

After a burst of fire, Xiao Lin saw that seven artillery mounts had been dispersed, and two more guns had been blown away, and this time, nine enemy guns were abolished. Kent was stunned, what kind of attack was the enemy, and he actually abolished half of his artillery power in one fell swoop. With sharp eyes, he even found that these shells were fired from the sky, which meant that the fortifications built by the artillerymen were useless.

Before Kent could react, a second wave of mortar shells arrived. Overcoming the nervousness and gaining self-confidence, especially since Sholin personally operated a cannon, this wave of attacks wiped out all the remaining eleven guns of the enemy. Of course, most of them were destroyed gun mounts. Without a gun mount, the recoil of the previously mounted artillery, it was impossible to temporarily build a firing position. In particular, the twelve-pounder cannon can collapse makeshift gun carriages made of earth or wood in a single stroke.

Sholin asked the artillery commander, Rajak, a former Eagle tribesman who was loyal to him, to take over the telescope and command of the artillery team. They were not allowed to attack the infantry and cavalry, but kept an eye on the enemy artillery, and if there was a situation of repairing the gun mount or building a fixed gun mount, immediately continued the attack. As for the others, they are the dishes of Xiao Lin's infantry, and if you don't put a little pressure on them, you can't train good soldiers.

The shelling was over, and Kent was reassured. He thought that this kind of attack was terrible, but it could not last, and these two attacks were the only means for Xiao Lin and them. Although the artillery under his command also lost its combat effectiveness, the artillery did not suffer many casualties, and when he picked up the gun, he still had more than 1,900 capable soldiers.

Since artillery does not work, then let the infantry and cavalry go up. The cavalry began to move, looking for a way to storm the town. The infantrymen, in a straggler's formation, slowly approached the town, and the range of his musket was only one hundred and twenty meters, the same as the compound bow that Xiao Lin had sold before. However, the real effective range is still a hundred meters. After this period of training, Xiao Lin's soldiers have extended the effective range to one hundred and seventy meters.

Weapons and bullets are there, the key is whether people will use them, holding a gun and shooting indiscriminately, it can't be considered an effective range, and shooting the enemy is called shit luck. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack, Xiao Lin kept holding back until the front enemy had already stepped into a distance of one hundred and thirty meters, and the outermost enemy had stepped into a distance of one hundred and sixty meters.

"Fire!"

"Bang ......"

After a burst of gunfire that Kent had never heard before, the Adams family's troops fell by more than seventy people. In addition to the company of soldiers at the fence, the five towers of fifty sharpshooters also aimed at their opponents, and they specifically aimed at the well-behaved fighters and the officers who were different and better equipped.

With a two-pronged approach, the enemy was blinded at once. Thirty meters became the death line of Kent's infantry, and no one in the vanguard could rush through these thirty meters and enter their effective range. As a last resort, they could only shoot at about 120 meters. As soon as there were many people, they started shooting, and some bullets hit the wooden fence. The hole was too small, only the size of a head, and with the exception of a few shots, which were shot against the sky, wounding six fighters, the rest were only splashed with a burst of sawdust.

Because it is well equipped and logistically perfect. None of the six soldiers died, except for some wounds from bullets. Unlike the rest of the army in this era, they were immediately carried down by the civilian medics, and Dr. Issa and his five students were ready to begin removing bullets for the wounded soldiers. The sterilized surgical environment and sufficient and complete medicines make these soldiers not worry about their lives, and as long as they recuperate for a period of time, they can restore their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the morale of the soldiers on Xiao Lin's side has not slipped at all. The rate of fire of the Chinese rifle was faster than that of the rifle in the hands of the British Army, and the rate of casualties on both sides was completely disproportionate. Often, more than sixty people on the Kent side would lose their combat effectiveness, and only one or two soldiers on Shawlin's side would be sent to the infirmary. As the infantry army pressed down, all four companies began to fire non-stop. Occasionally, a few enemies rushed to a distance of more than ninety meters, and they were all killed by the fighters on the watchtower.

Kent was also very annoyed by the enemies on the five towers, but without artillery, they could not attack the five towers. Sending people to storm it, regardless of whether it can succeed or not, the number of casualties is not something they can bear. Kent was also in a hurry, and after a period of shooting, some of the wooden fences were also shot and destroyed, so Kent planned to send cavalry to see if he could break the wooden fence in one fell swoop. The infantrymen received an order and began to attract fire for the cavalry. First a volley, then began to kick up dust, trying to interfere with the sight of Sholin's men.

The cavalry immediately accelerated, hoping to break through the wooden fence when the enemy reacted. However, the people on the five watchtowers clearly saw the movement of the cavalry. By intercom, these circumstances were reported to Sholin. Xiao Lin asked the soldiers to take down the grenades made in the town, listened to the movement of the enemy cavalry, felt close, and immediately lit the sound of goods and threw them. The two hundred cavalry who charged were blown up on their backs. Luckily, a few rushed over, but they didn't find the trap covered by the tarpaulin in front of them, and they all fell in.

Kent completely gave away his advantage with this hand. Xiao Lin had not even used his submachine gun, and the distance of fifty meters was covered with grenades, and no one could get close.
