Xiao Lin's order to Lin Xin was actually not to seriously assist the British in defeating the French. His real order was for Lin Xin to use the power of the British to drag the 30,000 French troops into the British colonies, and to provide better conditions for the company's troops to send troops. You must know that in order to defeat the British first, the French sent 30,000 troops this time, of which 20,000 were the most elite regular army. As long as this force is not on the company's side, Xiao Lin can completely rely on the 20,000 army in his hand to defeat the French all over the ground.

At the same time, in order to occupy more territory, Sholin also began to recruit more militia. Officials from the Pandey and Adams families have been trained and ready to take up their posts. Now, just wait for Lin Xin's side to fight, and then Xiao Lin can attack with his whole army and occupy the French North American colonies in one fell swoop. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Xiao Lin's plan, Lin Xin must start fighting as soon as possible. After a night of struggle, Lin Xin and the staff officers finally straightened out everything here.

The French are still very strong, with an army of 30,000, of which 20,000 are the elite of the regular army. 10,000 were regular troops that had just arrived from the mainland, and 10,000 were elite troops maintained by the colony itself. However, the 10,000 elite troops in the colony were killed and wounded in successive battles with the British, and there were only about 4,000 left, and some other militia and regular troops were selected to come in, and the number reached 10,000 again. Therefore, the combat effectiveness is a bit bad, only about seventy percent of the 10,000 people from the mainland.

Of the 30,000 people, except for the 20,000 elites, there were 1,000 and 2,000 cavalry respectively, a total of 3,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry and artillery. 10,000 auxiliary militiamen, all of whom were the most basic musketeers, could act as pikemen with bayonets. Of the remaining 17,000 soldiers, 12,000 were also musketeers, and the last 5,000 were artillerymen. From four-pounder guns to eighteen-pounder guns, they were carried, and the four-pounder guns were the lightest and the most numerous, and the British could not determine the total number.

The eighteen-pounder cannon was the most powerful, but it was also the heaviest, and if it weren't for the fact that the British trench defense system was so powerful that they couldn't do anything without heavy artillery, the French might not have brought it at all. Therefore, the number of eighteen-pounder guns was the first to be determined, and there were thirty-five guns in total. At the same time, the 30,000 French army was equipped with a total of 3,000 revolvers. This strength of equipment, if it had been a few years ago, the British could really have despaired.

However, for the current British, it is not strong enough to despair. Hall M1819 rifle, although it was the first rear-loading rifle, many things have not been developed, but there is no problem with one gun against three front-loading muskets. The 75mm caliber gun, because of the use of black technology-like construction, as well as gunpowder and shells far beyond this era, the power is no worse than that of a twelve-pound gun, even with ordinary gunpowder and inferior iron shells, the power is only three percent worse than that of a twelve-pounder gun.

Moreover, because the gun body is made of high-quality light alloy steel, the weight is smaller. For a British aristocrat obsessed with cannons, this good weapon is like a man who has been hungry for more than ten days and sees a roast chicken. Naturally, these people have taken out their old books, and the so-called guns can be bought, and the guns can't be bought. They were so frenzied that they piled up the number of heavy fists to a full five hundred, which was the power of five hundred twelve-pounder guns, far exceeding the artillery power of the French.

On the side of the British, there were a total of 30,000 noble private armies. The nobles had a total of 3,000 cavalry and 17,000 musketeers, of which 7,000 were armed with Hall M1819 rifles. This is still due to the addition of the three thousand soldiers brought by the three of Lin Man, all of whom are equipped with Hall M1819 rifles, and the three Earls of Lin Man do not have much elite strength in their hands. Miscellaneous, plus what they got from the company, they only had a total of 10,000 or 2,000 people armed with Hall M1819 rifles.

Because it was necessary to suppress the turbulent rebellion in the colony, there were only so many people in the early stage. It seems that the strength of the British is still very strong, and even if they can't defeat the French, they won't be pressed to the ground and rubbed like they are now. However, what is the situation of the French, all the armies are regular armies belonging to the state, and all obey the orders of the generals sent by the governors of the colonies. When the order is issued, it is natural that the command is well organized and the battle response is quick.

And the British, if you look at the 20,000 private troops, there are actually 37 nobles and nobles. Because in order to grab the land, obtain land interests, and compensate for their own losses, these nobles are somewhat resentful of others. Don't say that it is good to be able to cooperate with others in fighting with others. On the side of the British, not to mention one order, but to order thirty-seven doors, and it has always been a taboo on the battlefield to order multiple doors.

can fight to this extent, or because these nobles are relatively smart and can take care of the overall situation. And those who did not care about the overall situation had long been broken by the French before, and all the private armies did not escape, not to mention, even the nobles who were the leaders did not escape. It's that the Hall M1819 rifles and heavy-fist guns in their hands have fallen into the hands of the French, but fortunately, these people don't have too many of these sharp weapons.

At worst, it is estimated that there will be a total of 1,000 halls at most, and 50 heavy punches will fall into the hands of the French. If there were enough to be left for dismantling and replicating, the only people who could join the battlefield at this time would be 900 Hall muskets and 30 heavy-fist guns. Coupled with the strength of the 4th Garrison Brigade and the machine-gun mortar Yanhuang 1 rifle, the overall strength of this side is to exceed the strength of the French.

The most important thing at the moment is to give command power. However, things went unexpectedly well. The reason why the aristocratic coalition could not be unified again was because of the lack of an absolutely fair commander. Even the three counts of Linman, among the thirty-seven nobles, there are also relatives who are close to each other. After the previous grudges, these people couldn't trust each other at all, so they all commanded their own troops.

However, Lin Xin is different, first of all, he is a member of Yanhuang Trading Company, and he has no interests with anyone here. Secondly, when he fought against all the nobles before, his military talent had been recognized by all the nobles. Coupled with the armament of the Fourth Garrison Brigade, the various performances that had already arrived yesterday showed that this was an elite division. What kind of place is the company, if there is no real talent, how can it be possible to bring this kind of elite troops, which excludes the possibility that Lin Xin is talking on paper.

In this way, they are all willing to hand over the command. Moreover, they also negotiated privately, no one was allowed to go to Lin Xin for favors, and Lin Xin could not be allowed to take care of their private army. However, they put forward a condition for Lin Xin, they needed to go to the headquarters to observe and learn Lin Xin's command skills. Lin Xin said that there was no problem at all, they really thought that they could see it by taking a look at it, so it would be a waste of time for them to stay in the company's officer training class for so long.

Without systematic training, if you want to learn the company's command skills, you have to watch at least two or three years, and you can't leave halfway, and you have to have at least three major wars. No, just at the beginning, this group of nobles was blinded, and Lin Xin actually made the entire determined battlefield range into a fine map and sand table. They can still understand the sand table, after all, it is an intuitive three-dimensional form, and they can't understand the map at all, all kinds of arrow logos, and a series of numbers, for them it is like reading a book from the sky.

"The order went down and divided the army, and those who used Hall muskets were called Hall teams, a team of 1,000 men, and those who used ordinary muskets were called Brown Bes, and they were also called Hall teams, and they were also called Hall teams, and they were also called Hall teams with ordinary muskets, and they were also called 1,000 men in a team. The artillery consisted of thirty heavy fists in one form and ten disorganized artillery pieces in a group, and the number of artillery pieces was distributed separately. The cavalry was divided into six squads of five hundred men each. ”

"D3, immediately send a Hall team, two brown bass teams, three artillery groups, and a cavalry team over, there is a river, which is the main water intake around. Let them choose the right mountain artillery to build fortifications, and the French must not be allowed to easily get water. ”

"Yes!"

"The A2 and A6 areas, each according to the previous configuration, went to a group of soldiers, and the A4 area let our men go. All three areas were close to the French camps, with British soldiers covering and us taking the lead. ”

"Yes!"

.......

The British nobles were almost stunned, and Lin Xin and the others drew the map in silence and made a sand table. Then, a group of people gathered around, pointed at the map and the sand table, said terms that they didn't understand at all for most of the day, and followed their instructions in time, not knowing what they were talking about. When the discussion was over, Lin Xin directly began to give orders, and then, one by one, the heralds received the orders, left the headquarters, and conveyed them to the troops on standby.

The French also disappeared today in a rare way, rested for a day and did not call. The British wanted to rest, but as soon as the order was given, they had no choice but to leave their current camp and go to their respective destinations to begin the construction of new trench fortifications. It can be seen that the British army began to switch from offensive to defensive, with the 4th Garrison Brigade as the core in the middle, and the remaining musketeers as the auxiliary, directly pushing horizontally. On each side there was a group of British troops, which acted as horns for each other to cover the Chinese army.

And Lin Xin also set a nail on the French water place extremely disgustingly, if you want to get water, you will inevitably be attacked by them, although it is not completely impossible to get it, but it occupies the place with the largest water flow, how can it also block the French.
