"Kuhl, you go back first and report the situation here to the battalion commander. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm watching here, and if they're gone, we won't be able to easily find them again. ”

"But ......"

"But what, obey the order, I haven't settled accounts with you about running away without permission before. If you don't work well this time, see how I clean you up when I come back. ”

"Yes, company commander!"

At this time, Xiao Lin just finished the training of officers and came to the training ground to check the state of everyone's training. As soon as he heard the situation reported by the warrior Kuhl, his face changed. Hurry up with a few people and come to the place where they found the British troops. At the same time, he hurriedly asked the two company commanders to gather troops and adjust the state. Forget that these Apache had been lying on the ground for three hours, staring at the enemy. Xiao Lin bent down and walked over slowly.

"How's it going?"

"You're coming, the enemy seems to be coming at us, this road, half a day's walk is our camp. However, their carriage got stuck in a mud puddle and could not be dragged out now, and was being repaired. ”

Sholin held up his binoculars and followed Apache's instructions to check for enemy movements. Two of the wagons of the British army overturned, and all three guns were trapped. Some of the soldiers sat on the ground covered in mud and water, looking as if they had been pushing the cart for a long time, and they were too tired to do it. Seeing that it was getting dark, they also left the main road and set up camp by the roadside. During this period, white people generally did not choose night battles, and the accuracy of smoothbore guns was not good, and night battles were even worse.

Shoren asked James to take five men instead of Apache and continue to monitor the lobster soldiers' movements. Then, he took the others back to the assembly area. In Xiao Lin's hands, there are only 300 soldiers at present, and only 41 white people are good at using muskets, and they have basically mastered the use of formal rifles. The other more than 200 Eagle Tribe warriors only know how to shoot with the rifles in their hands, and the accuracy is not guaranteed.

Although they were outnumbered, Sholin was much more powerful than Babu's men. It was only at this time that the British army began to be equipped with brown bass muskets, which originated from an arms development contract signed by the Royal Ordnance Office on September 15, 1714, which consisted of soliciting design opinions from private ordnance dealers on preferential terms, which were then approved for production by the Ordnance Department authorities. Now, it is impossible for the colonists to get a new gun, unless their commander has a good eye for it.

It was clear that Babu was not a man of the eye, so his soldiers could only use outdated muskets. And this kind of musket, there is no bright spot in history that is enough to be remembered (it is really impossible to find it, helpless). At this time, the equipment of the British army was not even comparable to that of the French. Even the three three-pounder field guns were old in the 17th century, with low accuracy and low power, and they couldn't even compare with the earliest gun grenades.

On Xiao Lin's side, there are three hundred medium-sized rifles, and the firepower is enough to be worth four hundred musket lobster soldiers. There are also a hundred archers, all of whom are archers with compound bows with an effective range of one hundred and fifty paces, and when it comes to melee combat, they can also use steel knives to fight. The combat skills honed in the jungle for more than ten years, coupled with Xiao Lin's modern military training, their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The most important thing is that in order to strengthen his firepower, Xiao Lin specially arranged five fast and slow machines, that is, the sharp weapons of soldiers without machine guns and submachine guns, box guns, which will appear in every Anti-Japanese War drama. The four graduate students majoring in mechanical manufacturing were recruited correctly, not only helped develop the Chinese formal rifle at once, but also helped polish the five fast and slow machines after Xiao Lin made a request.

The Mauser Military Pistol is also known as a barge gun and box gun in China, and it is often called the Mauser C96 in Europe. The Mauser factory was patented on December 11, 1895, and production began the following year. Because the holster is a wooden box, it is also called a box gun in China, and if it is equipped with a 20-round magazine, it is called a pot-bellied box. The body of the gun is wide, so it is also called the large mirror. With a fully automatic function, also known as a fast and slow machine, the Mauser pistol is a pistol made by the Mauser Arsenal in Germany. It was one of the first automatic pistols to appear in the world.

This pistol, with the addition of a butt, can even be turned into a primitive semi-automatic rifle or semi-automatic submachine gun. A fast and slow machine, with firepower comparable to that of twenty seventeenth-century muskets. Xiao Lin used two of them himself, one for each of the three company commanders, and the firepower exploded, which could also withstand fifty lobster soldiers with smoothbore guns.

Xiao Lin also has a batch of primitive grenades, which are some round, hard and thick plastic toys purchased by Xiao Lin in the 21st century as shells, and then fill them with gunpowder and gravel nails to place the leads. All of this work was done on the American continent. However, this kind of grenade is also very powerful, with an explosion radius of two meters, and the hard plastic will not burn out at once, but can support the gunpowder to break through the shell, so that the iron nails and gravel can be shot out.

While the lobster soldiers were camping and repairing, Xiao Lin and the soldiers found a good place for an ambush. Shoren couldn't help but thank the Indians who died at the hands of the whites, who raised these colonial warriors with their lives, and despised the Indians to the extreme, and never made them official. This is also one of the reasons why the whites in the later period were defeated by the Indians, who were given advanced smoothbore guns. If they were to attack the colonies of other European countries, they would never be so careless, and even if they didn't attack immediately, they would send outposts to scout the surroundings.

The trail is mostly surrounded by hills and rocks, and although it is not high, there are still many slopes about 50 meters high. The place chosen by Xiao Lin is a slope of more than 40 meters, at an angle of 45 degrees, lying on the top, and all the conditions on the road can be seen clearly. Three hundred fighters entered the position overnight and immediately began to dig trenches, and did not sleep until five o'clock in the morning. At ten o'clock in the morning, James and the others, who were staring at the lobster soldiers, came over, and the lobster soldiers set off.

They had woken up late, and spent a lot of time hauling out the wagons and artillery that were still stuck in the mud pits. It's already good to set off at this time. Xiao Lin asked everyone to get ready, and with the help of the walkie-talkie, he could relay his orders to every platoon commander. The sun was hanging overhead, and it was eleven o'clock in the morning when the figure of the lobster soldier appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

At the head, it was the infantry who used smoothbore guns. These people are both the main force and cannon fodder, Xiao Lin is not in a hurry, he has to pack up the three field guns first. The infantry was about to get out of the ambush circle, and the artillery appeared, and they walked in the middle, one by one, and at the end were fifty cavalrymen, which should be the army behind the palace. Sholin first aimed at a lobster soldier riding on a horse dragging a cannon, and when he was sure that he could kill him, he opened fire.

"Bang!"

A shot rang out through the valley, and when this shot was heard, Sholin's musketeers and archers attacked at the same time. The musketeers stood in the trenches, and the archers had to show half of their bodies. Suddenly, the seven hundred lobster soldiers under Babu were directly in chaos. With the help of Sholin and a few fighters with good marksmanship, all the lobster soldiers next to the artillery were quickly cleared. Moreover, anyone who approached the artillery, was shot.

Babu was well hidden, and was always among the infantry, and he didn't have to go on a tall horse, which was the way to die. As soon as he was attacked, he hid behind the carriage and began to organize the disorganized soldiers.
