Since the invention of the breech-loading rifle, the intensity of the battle has increased dramatically. The number of casualties killed by platoon guns is not comparable to the number of casualties in trench battles. This is because the rear-loading rifle, compared to the arquebus, flintlock pistol and front-loading smoothbore gun, the firing speed accuracy and power are far more than that. After fighting two Shawlin, two thousand soldiers under Kent suffered heavy casualties, and the number of fighters who lost their combat effectiveness reached the number of a thousand.

With more than half of the casualties, they can still maintain their combat effectiveness and high will to fight, which even the regular army units on British soil can't do, let alone the colonies of Kent have become the armies of the Adams family's private soldiers. Private soldiers have never been synonymous with elite, even if the master family treats them well, they can't compare to those great armies who serve the country and the people in terms of spirit. So, Kent's men began to crumble.

Even if Kent roared hysterically, no one would shoot at the enemies in the town by thousands, they would only shoot at a maximum of two hundred meters, and whether they could hit or not, they would just make a show for Kent to see. Xiao Lin had clearly discovered the enemy's dynamics, and the enemy in this state could no longer provide the pressure of training for the soldiers of the four companies, so he didn't plan to grind with Kent and them. The mortars fired 20 shells again, knocking the enemy on their backs.

After being shelled, Kent's men no longer had the heart to fight, and some people from the periphery began to desert and secretly fled the battlefield. Seeing that he couldn't do anything about it, Kent didn't dare to stay here any longer, gritted his teeth and let everyone who could do it escape to the town controlled by the Pandey family.

Xiao Lin and they didn't chase after them, first, after such a long period of vigilance and high-intensity fighting, the four companies of four hundred soldiers were very tired, and they had to clean up the battlefield, so they really didn't have the energy to chase and kill. Second, there are nearly 900 enemies, of which the cavalry still maintains most of the formation, and it is not easy for one to be killed and return to the horse pistol, and the melee battle is really not beatable. Therefore, Shoren could only let Kent flee with the defeated soldiers.

However, they didn't have many good days. The current town of Pandey, the former town of Babu, Sholin has long wanted to capture. Before, because of the lack of strength of his subordinates and the lack of artillery, the casualties in the storming of the town with wooden walls were still very large. Moreover, he doesn't want to be directly exposed to the surface. Although he has become hostile to the Addams family, Shawlin does not want to stand on the table and fight them, and the war can be dragged on.

However, Kent had already brought people to attack, and there was no need for this cover-up. After slapping the Addams family in the face several times, it is impossible for Shoren and the Addams family to reconcile. At this time, it is impossible for Xiao Lin to retreat, once he retreats, the Addams family will think that he is weak and can be expected, and the attack will not stop. On the contrary, if the town is defeated, it can have a more effective effect on deterring the enemy. So, this town, Shawlin is settled.

Those white people in the town, Xiao Lin didn't plan to let go either. Those who dare to stab will be killed, and those who are honest and willing to join Xiao Lin's forces will be given the same treatment as Xiao Lin's subordinates after a period of investigation. I heard that there is a new noble mayor in the town, and if you can grab him, I don't know how many good things you can get.

The two brothers, Sam and Dean, after resting and having dinner, took their two classes and went in the direction of the town. These twenty people Xiao Lin deliberately stayed for a while, and his physical strength was not consumed too much, and Sam and Dean also carried four box cannons, so they were not worried about encountering a small group of enemies in the field.

Kent, on his side, had been fleeing in embarrassment on horseback, and in a week's foot, the fleeing rout had run out in four days. At first, they were frightened, and they ran a quarter of the way in one day. No one thought about whether to set up an ambush on the road, or Sam and Dean would be really dangerous. The two of them took the warriors and found a lot of discarded weapons and cuirasses on the road, these things still had a certain value for Xiao Lin, so they collected them all so that the army behind them could find and take them away.

Twenty people on bicycles almost an hour before Kent arrived in the small town of Pandey. At this time, Kent's rout all happened to enter the town, and the town militia led them into the barracks. It is still impossible for any rout to rob the town, they just lost the battle, and they are not completely desperate. Besides, the town is replenished with a thousand militias, and these routs will not be allowed to do whatever they want.

Clark Pandey, who came to greet Kent, looked at the lost Kent with a look of surprise. Clark is also a direct descendant of the Pandey family, but his situation is better off than Kent, Clark is the inheritor, and is now a quasi-nobleman with the rank of knight. The two have been good friends since childhood, and Clark has never seen pride and complacency in his good friend, but this time, he is completely a loser.

"My good brother, what has happened to you? Why are you so embarrassed?"

"Don't mention it, Clarke, I've failed, the enemy is stronger than I thought. ”

"How is that possible? Are there more enemies than you?"

"No, it's not, they're a lot less than we are, but their weapons are too powerful. ”

"How strong is it?"

"Their rifles have a longer range than us, they are fast, they are very accurate, and they are much more powerful. Moreover, they also have grenadiers. After our artillery was completely wiped out by one of the enemy's curved guns, we simply could not effectively attack them. ”

"Is there such a cannon?"

"I don't know, I didn't see any traces of the artillery, but the shell went over the tall wooden fence and our fortifications, and exploded directly in the middle of the artillery. ”

"It's a bit tricky. ”

"Clarke, you need to be careful, I'm not sure if the enemy is coming to attack here. My soldiers fled so quickly that I was not prepared at all, and I lost a lot of my weapons, so I am afraid that I will not be able to help you much. ”

"So, I still have a batch of rifles in my hand. You go fix it first, and then see if you can organize your remaining men. If the enemy is going to attack, you won't be able to run, and if the enemy doesn't come, regroup and I'll see if we can go and meet these enemies together. ”

"Okay, if you can help me kill the enemy, I'll share 60% of the profits, and I'll only need 40%. ”

"We're brothers, why are you talking about this. Let's go, let's go eat first. ”

From Kent's description, Clark discovered the danger of the enemy, and all the Indian tribes that had been contacted before were wiped out. Clark didn't believe that he could stay out of it here. So, he has to be ready. When he took Kent to repair, he had already ordered his men to prepare for battle, and one hundred and fifty cavalrymen were sent out to reconnoiter around the town to see if there was any trace of the enemy.

However, if they had the concept of camouflage and gilly suits, they might actually be able to spot Dean and Sam. Sam and Dean both wore high-quality imitation military camouflage and gilly suits that Shoren had purchased, and hid in the grass and woods. The cavalry, who scanned according to the 18th century, did not notice anything wrong. Sam and Dean were a little nervous at first, but the waves of cavalry ran in front of them a few times, and without noticing anything wrong, they got down to business. As a pioneer scout, they had to find out the town's defenses and basic terrain structure.

With three hundred and eighty warriors, Sholin collected all the equipment that the enemy had left outside the town. The smoothbore gun can be kept for the militia in the future, and the artillery can also be used as some gun carriages to be fixed on the city wall as an additional means of defense, which is still very good. Even if it is too backward and not used, it can be used for metal recycling and recasting into farm tools. The next day, after resting, Xiao Lin set off with the soldiers of the three companies that had recovered their state.

The remaining eighty warriors remained in the town, and James led the team with submachine guns to guard before two thousand Indians were captured. Three hundred soldiers, with ten mortars, Xiao Lin wanted to believe, it was enough to teach the enemy a profound lesson. Along with the army set out, there were also twenty three-wheeled bicycles, all of which were transport forces ready to return with the spoils of war after the victory. Five of them, already loaded with weapons and armor thrown by the routers, returned to the town.

A week later, Shoren officially joined Sam and Dean. At this time, they also took it outside Pandey Town for two days, and the basic situation had been figured out. After two days outside, without any sign of the enemy, Clark remained vigilant, but his men began to relax. Xiao Lin and they are not too arrogant, they are all secretly marching for the time being, and they can completely catch the enemy by surprise.

The situation in the town is not complicated, and now with the army, there are more than 7,000 people living in total. The town was surrounded by a wooden wall that was neither high nor wide, and there were about thirty watchtowers on the wooden wall. The town faces the British colonies on one side and the interior of the American continent on the other. On this side of the interior, there are a total of fifteen batteries, all of which have artillery, and it seems that they are all twelve-pounder cannons, and their defensive capabilities are still very strong. At least, the Indians with bows and arrows were unbreakable.

Even the colonial forces of other countries would have to have at least three times as many men to capture the town. However, these are not difficult things for Xiao Lin. If it is a stone wall, Shawlin is still a little difficult to fight, and the wooden wall soldiers cannot withstand the bombardment of 120mm mortars. However, in order to reduce casualties, Xiao Lin decided to use a night attack. At night, if the enemy wants to train, torches are essential, and Sholin and they hide in the dark to shoot, and the battle will go more smoothly.
