Babu made his mind clear and immediately began to gather his men. The Báb now had a thousand lobster soldiers, most of whom were not Báb's private soldiers, but numbered eight hundred, and were still British regular troops, under the administration of the colonial government. Still, they were willing to obey the Báb's orders and go out with them from time to time to hunt for wild food. I heard that they were going to rob the Indians, and the lobster soldiers, who were originally very lazy, gathered quickly.

Actually, there is nothing good about being a soldier in a colony. Not to mention the lack of oil and water, these civilians are all goods that want money and don't want to die, and they are pressed too hard, maybe when they pass through a small alley, a dagger will stab them. However, relying on that salary, it is not chic enough. Therefore, doing private work is something that the colonial lobster soldiers will do. This thousand lobster cakes, not to mention too much, can still be made up with hundreds of flintlock pistols.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the equipment of the British army developed rapidly. The navy has used breech guns, the army is divided into cavalry infantry artillery, the cavalry is mainly armed with sabers, the artillery is basically cannons, and the infantry has used smoothbore guns with steel bayonets. Here in the town of Babu, there are only fifty cavalry, there is no way, the cost of raising horses is too high, and it is not bad to have this number. There were only fifty artillery men, and there were only three three-pounder field guns, which were old in the seventeenth century.

The infantry was the cheapest, seven hundred men were infantry with muskets in hand. The remaining two hundred, fifty were grenadiers, and one hundred and fifty melee commanders centered on Hessian mercenaries, and the combat weapons were a short-handled flintlock pistol, and a one-handed sword. Overall, the combat effectiveness is still very strong. However, for this thousand people, Babu will take out a maximum of 700 people, and 300 people must be left to guard the town. Otherwise, if someone reports it, the location of this town will not be guaranteed.

An army of seven hundred men, and three guns. Coupled with the terrible road conditions on the American continent, it would have taken at least two weeks to get from the small town of Babu to where they are now. At this time, Xiao Lin had been training three hundred subordinates for three weeks by means of military training. Already a few young people could not stand the training and quit the regular army to become reservists. The next two weeks will begin with mountain combat training, including stealth, wilderness survival and ambush operations.

In order to ensure safety, Xiao Lin arranged for each combat squad to take turns to stand guard outside the training ground to prevent the unexpected arrival of wild beasts or unknown forces and cause training casualties. On this day, it was the turn of the combat squad led by Sai Qunxiong to sentry. Originally, he didn't use it, but as a company commander, he needed to learn more about cooperative operations and command. Knowledge, there is no problem with other training competitions, just sitting on a stool all day long, learning cultural knowledge He really can't stand it.

Therefore, Sai Qunxiong invited himself to such an errand and came here to relax. Xiao Lin saw that he was also really uncomfortable, so he allowed it. Who knows, this kid at the back saw a fox. This fox skin, as they already know, can be said to be the most valuable. So, Annai couldn't stop and chased after him. When the race team reacted after the joy, the person was gone. There was no choice but to let the others continue to be vigilant, and he went to look for it himself.

After looking for a long time, I found the boy who ran away at a cliff. This person is a little of his follower, and he has been taking care of him, and he is a little lawless. That's why I left the team without permission. Sai Qunxiong admired Xiao Lin's remark that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. In the past, he also fought with tribal warriors, and one by one he only acted on his own, not listening to commands, which was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the enemy is a small tribe, otherwise they would have lost.

I just wanted to go up and scold someone, but the kid who was lying on his stomach noticed someone behind him and turned his head. Before Sai Qunxiong could speak, the kid made a silent gesture. The newly learned combat gestures were also used. Sai Qunxiong immediately knew that there was a situation, lowered his body, and slowly climbed over. The young man motioned for Sai Qunxiong to look outside, and Sai Qunxiong slowly stretched out his head in confusion. This one was so unbearable that it almost scared the race to stand up.

The place where they were lying was a cliff, still very high, almost four stories high. Below is a small road, not only not wide enough, but also not enough to rain, and when it rains, it will be muddy. Usually they don't care about this road, but they didn't expect that now they actually found dense enemies on this road. Xiao Lin knew that sooner or later, the anomaly here would be discovered, and at that time, the British would definitely send troops to come.

Xiao Lin had already shown them the appearance of the lobster soldiers and the colonial soldiers of other countries, and the high-definition and uncensored were enough for everyone to remember clearly. Sai Qunxiong immediately remembered that this was the enemy that Xiao Lin had repeatedly asked for that he had to pay attention to. Sai Qunxiong counted them, and there were 700 men in total, with guns, cannons, and cavalry. This is not a good thing, but these people's horses are stuck in the mud puddle, and they are still trying to figure it out, and there is still time.

"Tugou'er, you go back first and report the situation here to the boss. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm watching here, and I can't just leave it behind. ”

"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 walked to the training ground to check the status of everyone's training. As soon as he heard the report of this Indian dog who came back, his face changed. Hurriedly took a few people to the place where they found the lobster soldiers, and at the same time, asked the two company commanders to go back with the troops and sort out the state. At this time, Sai Qunxiong had been lying on his stomach for three hours, staring at the enemy. Xiao Lin leaned in and spoke to him.

"How's it going?"

"You're coming, and the enemy seems to be coming at us. There was no movement at all, and he was still ready for battle. However, their carriage got stuck in a mud puddle and could not be dragged out now, and was being repaired. ”

Xiao Lin raised his binoculars and followed the instructions of the Sai Qunxiong to check the enemy's movements. Two carriages overturned, and all three guns were trapped. Some of the soldiers sat on the ground covered in mud and water, looking tired from pushing the cart for a long time. They also left the road and began to set up camp on both sides. It was indeed dark, and at this time, night fighting was not the best choice for white people. They also started cooking, and it seemed that they were going to take a break.
