Chapter 103: The Attack and Defense of Lexington (2)

After a burst of strafing, many of the Addams family soldiers died. However, no less than fifteen hundred people ran into several houses of the Addams family. Inside, there are three floors, and one by one the private soldiers run into it, using the ten windows that exist on each floor to design. Inside the top five windows, there are also five cannon barrels sticking out, which at first glance are nine-pounder guns. The guards hurriedly lay down, the solid bullet is not good at all, unless it is directly hit by the person lying on the ground, it is not lethal.

The soldiers of the escort team were also lucky, these five shells were all hit in the middle of the soldiers, and they passed by dangerously. Taking advantage of the time when the enemy reloaded, everyone hurried to find cover. The few gate boards that the old butler used to block bullets before were found by the soldiers, and when they were gathered together, they could also resist the attack. Because of the suddenness of the incident, the Addams family didn't have time to clean up the things in front of the house. In the opponent's shooting range, there are horse-drawn carriages, thatched huts, and straw piles. Some of the supplies were also placed on the ground for the convenience of private soldiers.

Now, all of them became the bunkers of the warriors. The guards had three days a week of target training, and the accuracy of the Yanhuang rifle was also very strong, and the soldiers found suitable cover and began to shoot at the enemy who appeared out of the window. In the beginning, the Adams family privates were able to suppress the Guardian warriors by their numbers. As the warriors behind lowered their bodies and quickly ran from the gap to the cover and the back, it was replaced by the guards to suppress the private soldiers of the Addams family.

It can't be helped, the accuracy of the convoy fighters is too high. One of the private soldiers loaded his ammunition, shook his body, and when he saw that no gun was being fired, he immediately turned and crouched in front of the window, and just as he was about to shoot, three bullets hit him in the chest. The kinetic energy of the bullet made him fall to the ground in an instant, and then he never got up. Three houses, more than a hundred windows, this kind of thing is happening. Three 60-mm mortars were brought in by a squad of fighters, and Sholin hastened to direct them to the back of a carriage.

The mortar assembly was very simple, and in a dozen seconds three mortars were again ready for firing. Sholin stayed right next and used his expertise to provide firing parameters for three mortars. The five nine-pounder guns that were the first to be exposed, and the firing parameters represented by their positions, were all told by Xiao Lin one by one. The mortar is a curved artillery, and it is not afraid of missing it. Nine operators to adjust the angle of fire according to the parameters provided by Sholin. Then take out a shell and put it in the muzzle.

"Three rapid shots, then immediately the whole thing was transferred. Ready, three, two, one, put!"

The three operators holding the cannonballs obeyed Xiao Lin's order, let go of their hands, and the cannonballs slid down, were excited by the cannons, and shot out. The three assistants in the back hurriedly handed over the second shell. With the support of the last three operators, the angle of the mortar did not change, and the second shell was discharged after three seconds, and the third shot was also fired six seconds later. The nine operators and Xiao Lin didn't look at the results of the shelling, and directly worked together, lifted the mortar and shells, and ran behind another haystack.

Three nine-pounder guns, all of a sudden, were attacked. Three mortar shells, and they attacked. The firing parameters determined by Xiao Lin himself were so accurate that the shells went down the window into the room. Three explosions, one after the other, killed everyone near the cannon by shell fragments and shock waves, the gunpowder detonated the gunpowder inside, and the whole room exploded into a large hole. The barrels of the cannon flew up and smashed into the ground, with a loud bang, startling the Adams family.

Originally, the old butler planned to move all the artillery into the room, and use the three large houses as a front to fight against the enemy who rushed in. However, Xiao Lin and the others moved too fast, and the first appearance of the heavy-fist type 2 artillery, the power of the eleven guns together was beyond their imagination, so only these five guns existed. The sharp-eyed privates discovered that the shells were coming from behind the wagon, and after a burst of musket guns and shells from the only two remaining guns, the whole wagon was shattered.

However, there was no one behind it, and the attack had no effect except for a little scratch and impact on the fighters from the splashed sawdust. The three mortars were placed, and the firing angles were set under the command of Xiao Lin, and then three more rapid fires, and the remaining two ran backwards, and there was a violent explosion in the room where the people behind them were shooting the most. This time the mortars did not have to be withdrawn, the enemy had no artillery, and the muskets could not penetrate the thick haystacks at all.

Sholin commanded mortars and suppressed enemy fire. At the same time, he also commanded sixty fighters with box guns and Type 5 or 6 submachine guns, divided into three teams, and secretly approached the empty doors of the three houses. The reason why the door is empty is because the door panels here have been dismantled by the old housekeeper to make bulletproof shields. However, a hundred private soldiers, lined up in three formations, were facing the door, and anyone who entered would be attacked.

The three teams of fighters are not stupid, and it is necessary to have a vision and listen to all directions. When they arrived at the door, the warriors realized that something was wrong. With his spear on his military cap sticking out his head, there was a burst of musket shooting, and the hats were knocked out of nowhere. The fighters used combat gestures to communicate, and several black ball-shaped objects were handed over. A fighter with a lighter also contributed his own lighter, and the first few fighters lit the fuse of the grenade, waited for three seconds, and immediately threw it through the gate.

Because of the three-second delay, the grenade exploded as soon as it hit the ground. The private soldiers lined up in three groups did not react, and they were bombed solidly. Before it could completely disperse, seven or eight more grenades flew in from outside the gate. This time, the private soldiers who were originally blocking the door have not lost their effectiveness. Another hat sticks out, and nothing happens. The hat was retracted, and five fighters with submachine guns jumped out at once, and without looking at it, they fired directly at the inside.

There were thirty rounds of ammunition for the submachine gun, and five of them were one hundred and fifty rounds, and most of the remaining private soldiers of the Addams family were killed in one fell swoop. Luckily, there were a few left, and they all hid behind the furniture and didn't dare to show their heads. The soldiers with box guns hurriedly came up to cover the fighters with submachine guns to change bullets, and the box guns were at a distance of fifty meters, and the accuracy was very good, plus the role of the pretended butt, and the enemy could not raise his head even if he shot at a distance.

All of a sudden, twenty convoy fighters with semi-automatic and automatic firepower poured in, and the private soldiers inside couldn't react at all. The firepower on the first floor was suppressed a lot, and more, the soldiers with Yanhuang Type 1 rifles followed. Long guns and short cannons, plus the application of various grenades, in a short time, there was no enemy gunfire on the first floor of the three houses. The fighters replenished their bullets and grenades and began to make their way to the third floor.

At this time, the battle had begun to draw to an end. The room is too small for the enemy to take advantage of numbers. And the soldiers of the company's escort team, relying on the advanced weapons in their hands, killed or captured the enemy one by one. Eventually, Shoren and the others found the old butler who had committed suicide in a room on the top floor, and a few of the Adams family who were cowering in fear and too scared. At this point, the whole battle is officially over.

More than 20 people died in the convoy, but many were wounded, amounting to 300. Fortunately, except for the forty or so Zhongshangyuan, who could no longer stay in the army, the others could return to the army and continue to participate in the battle after recuperating for a period of time. Forty-three fighters who are disabled because of this, of course, the company will not ignore them. Easy civilian jobs such as logistics will wait for their arrival, and there will be various benefits in the future, no worse than in the army, so there is no despair. For soldiers who died in battle, their relatives will also receive a large pension, and the children and the elderly will be supported by the company.

After being sad for a while, everyone began to collect loot. Three-fifths of the Adams family, and the rest of their net worth, are here. This time, the company really made a lot of money, all kinds of antiques, oil paintings, Xiao Lin estimated, after the sale, you can get 1.5 billion yuan. In addition to the belongings, there were more than one thousand and one hundred captives. They are all adult men and women, and there are no old people and children. The beautiful maids of the Addams family, Xiao Lin directly made the decision, and brought them back to be rewarded to those single soldiers who had made meritorious contributions as wives.

Men are naturally ready to transform, first work for a period of free labor, see the performance and then income from the company. The Adams family's sons, he will not treat them badly, these people are all bargaining chips, in their hands, the Addams family will no longer dare to deal with the company's people recklessly, maybe, they can also extort some benefits. After packing up everything and getting the people ready, Xiao Lin prepared to go back with the army.

Ben was also afraid that Shawlin would backtrack, and had been secretly urging them to leave through Babu Mingli. After a few days of fighting, the soldiers were also very tired, and Xiao Lin did not plan to do anything more. The harvest was also enough, and there was a little war-weariness among the fighters. Xiao Lin packed up, and that night, he returned to the camp outside with his troops to rest. The next morning, I left early. At this time, the 30,000 British troops who surrounded and suppressed the God of War also received the news and began to prepare to go back.

The Ares held out for a week in the islands around the extreme corner of Royal, inflicting nearly 20,000 casualties on the White Coalition forces. There were originally 30,000 British troops, but now there are only more than 21,000 left. And the god of war they were naturally gone, and they resisted to the end, and in the end only some wounded, old and young, fled on rafts to Lake Superior, and the number was less than a thousand. Lake Superior is too big, and the chances of these people surviving on rafts alone are too small, and the whites don't want to take care of it, and they can't afford it, and everyone is physically and mentally exhausted.
