Chapter 85 Logan joins, and Xiaoqingshan builds a position
When he wasn't here, Logan had imagined what it would be like countless times. He also thought that those were all naïve fantasies, and that Yanhuang Town might not even be able to compare to New York. It's his sixty-three henchmen, if it weren't for the fact that they were already tied to Logan, I am afraid that they would not be willing to leave New York City and come to a completely unknown place. However, Yanhuang Town did not disappoint them. The buildings are beautiful and neat, the roads are wide and clean, and there are all kinds of amenities, and there are video halls that are not available in New York.
As the host, Wei Xiao cordially received the Hessian mercenary who had helped him purchase a full 1.5 million pounds of supplies. Fortunately, Logan is not as corrupted and obese as Babu, and he also has good military qualities. Babu, who had been losing weight and exercising for months, was only at the same level of ability as he is now. A feast of rewards and receptions is inevitable, and a variety of Chinese dishes from the 21st century during the banquet make Rogan smile and smile.
Other than that, Shoren didn't have much contact with Logan. It's not that Shoren hates Logan, it's because things can't be busy. And Babu, as Logan's brother and the introducer who recruited him into the company, is specifically responsible for helping Logan understand the company. Xiao Lin gave a thousand Yan Huang Coin Fund, and Babu took Logan to eat, drink and play for three consecutive days. Logan had a lot of fun, but he wasn't too much of a pleasure seeker.
Seeing that the company kept deploying troops, he also knew that it was guarding against the 10,000 troops in New York. After thinking about it, he and his henchmen also felt that they didn't have much to go except for the army, so they asked to join the new army. Rogan only has one credit for assisting in the purchase, and it is not easy to be placed on the same level as the current company veteran. At that time, Babu was in a different form, the company lacked talents, and besides, after this period of hard work, he also made a lot of contributions.
However, if you don't arrange a position, you can't say it. As for Logan, he is the first white talent to take the initiative to join him, and this thing must be done well. As long as there is a good example, then there will be a steady stream of talents coming to take refuge in the future. After thinking about it, I had to temporarily give Logan to Babu as a deputy, as a deputy battalion commander, and learn the company's more advanced knowledge of leading troops. And his sixty-three henchmen became recruits.
Originally, the escort team was also going to expand its army in the future, so with these sixty-three Hessian mercenaries as the core, it was ready to form a seventh combat battalion. If Logan had done well in the back, the position of battalion commander would have belonged to him. Originally, Logan and his sixty-three henchmen were still a little unconvinced by this arrangement, these people were all Hessian mercenaries known for their elite, and even Britain in the empire on which the sun never set had to rely on their strength, how could they bear to be underestimated here.
However, after being taught a lesson by the soldiers of the fourth battalion, they were honest. At the beginning, each used their own equipment to conduct a simulated battle, and was beaten 0-63 by the same number of soldiers from the four battalions. After that, they said that the soldiers of the fourth battalion relied on the strength of their weapons so they would not accept the defeat, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion changed their equipment and used weapons captured from the British army to simulate a battle with them. Then let them use the official rifle to fight against the soldiers of the fourth battalion, and the best record is 63 to 17.
The Hessian mercenaries are actually really strong, and their combat literacy and fighting will are the top existences in this era. Of course, it can still only be regarded as relying on the edge of modern thought, and in front of the modern army that Xiao Lin has cultivated with the 21st century army training method, it is still a bit insufficient. So, they can only accept the fate of becoming recruits. And this war, there is no chance to participate. They will not use the new equipment, with the equipment of the British army, more than sixty people, on the battlefield can not make a splash at all.
Rogan's affairs have come to an end, and the decisive battle between the two families of Yanhuang Trading Company and Adam Spanti has just begun. Knowing the size of the enemy's army from Logan, Shawlin was a little surprised. Before, it was two or three thousand, but now it is directly ten thousand. What's more, there are also heavy artillery units. Eighteen pounder and twelve-pounder cannons were enough to pose a threat to the current convoy. Even the wooden walls of the town can't stop them.
So, Sholin decided to put the battlefield outside the town. The location of the town has no mineral resources nearby, but the only advantage is that the terrain is dangerous enough. One in front of the other, one behind the other, the two roads were blocked by the hillside. So, Sholin could have chosen a good place outside the town to set up his army. A kilometer away from the town, in the direction leading to New York, there is a hill. The mountain is not high, only more than 70 meters, but the slope is more than 60 degrees, Xiao Lin personally named it Xiaoqingshan.
One side has been terraced, and the other side is still deserted. If you want to take this road to attack Yanhuang Town, you will definitely be attacked by the warriors on Xiaoqing Mountain. Because of this advantage, Xiaoqingshan also began to break ground on the barren side. With the advantage of intelligence, Xiao Lin got the news of the enemy nearly a month in advance, and he also had a lot of time to build fortifications against the enemy. From more than 30 meters, in the middle and top of the mountain, trenches and cat's ear holes were dug out.
At the top of the mountain peak is the artillery position of the Yanhuang Trading Company. This time, Xiao Linke took out all the ten mortars, even if he used up the remaining 200 shells, he would not hesitate. Because the production of the heavy punch type has already begun, I am not afraid that there will be no cannon use in the future. In addition to ten mortars, there were thirty previously captured three-pounder guns and ten six-pounder guns. With a heavy fist, under the modern process equipment and Xiao Lin's huge amount of money, ten doors were also produced. In a month, there will be ten more. In this way, on the high-power cannon, the Yanhuang Trading Company can overpower the two families.
Not to mention the five or six submachine guns, Xiao Lin also took out all of them this time, and the original stormtroopers were formed again. The revolver machine gun also appeared for the first time, and now in this situation, I don't care about whether it is confidential or not, thirty of them, all of which are equipped with troops. The most forward position is not far from the foot of the mountain, at a distance of thirty meters, as long as the British army is not afraid of sacrifice, the medium formal rifle can only destroy a thousand people at most, and then it will enter close combat. Even with the addition of five or six submachine guns, it could only turn the enemy's casualties into nearly two thousand people.
The grenade is also not safe, it is not a high-explosive grenade, in fact, the real lethality is not very strong. Only machine guns can contain the enemy's charging posture. Of course, taking advantage of the productivity of the town, the thirty meters without trenches are also full of traps. I don't know which pile of fallen leaves is a few sharp iron thorns, and stepping on them is the result of waste feet. For twenty days, Xiao Lin was directing the soldiers to build positions. For the next ten days, it was used to fortify the fortifications and add traps as much as possible.
And the revenge army of the two major families also slowly approached Xiaoqingshan. Logan's capture was unsuccessful, and there was no way to recover the lost supplies. Charlie Mill was not a very unreasonable person, so he returned the corresponding funds to them. With the money, they can also procure supplies from other places. In order to ensure time and efficiency, the money was used to buy supplies from merchants and civilians in New York.
It is said to be an acquisition, but in fact, it is equivalent to a robbery. Prices were kept so low by the ruffians that the merchants didn't make money at all. If you are lucky, you can still get three melons and two dates, and if you are unlucky, you are thankful that you don't lose money. The 10,000 troops were satisfied, but the whole city of New York was furious. If it weren't for the lack of strength, I'm afraid that the soldiers would be beaten at night. Officials in New York were also blackmailed a lot by the two families because of this incident.
Although there is more than half left, who wants to spit out the benefits of eating it. Perhaps knowing that this had completely angered the whole of New York, Clark and Poppy took the army out in advance. It just so happened that he joined up with the Indian auxiliaries in the wilderness and rushed to the Yanhuang Trading Company together. The two families didn't want to offend everyone, and along the way, Clark and Bobby didn't cause any trouble. Along the way, not a single town has been entered. Supplies are needed, and they are also really procured with money.
On the third day after Shawlin brought back the second batch of heavy punches and placed them on the artillery position, these men arrived. Clark was very cautious, and as soon as he arrived at the colonial town he had previously managed, he began to give it his all. Even if the army complained, Poppy didn't understand, he sent out a lookout every day, for fear of being ambushed by the Yanhuang Company escort. The cavalry sentinels, under Clark's strict management, could only run around with telescopes.
As it turned out, Clark was right. If it weren't for the sentinels' intentions, the troops on Xiaoqingshan might not have noticed. If you walk to the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain unsuspectingly, I am afraid that there will be thousands of casualties in a fight. The 10,000 three major armies were tired of boats and cars, and they did not dare to rashly attack Xiaoqingshan. The two armies chose a location far away from Xiaoqingshan, set up camp, and prepared to rest and fight a protracted battle. Clark and Poppy don't really care about the lives of the musketeers, as long as the cavalry and artillery are okay, the musketeers are exhausted, and as long as they can kill Shawlin, they won't feel pity.
Shawlin couldn't attack at night, and Clark sent dozens of patrols, and no matter which direction they touched at night, they had a great chance of being discovered. Since this is the case, then we can only recharge our energy and prepare for a positional battle.
The two thousand convoys, all full of confidence, were ready to strike at the enemy. Regardless, one of them was a little overwhelmed. That is the first squad leader of the second platoon of the third company of the fifth battalion, Kent. If he wants to fight the army formed by his own family, he doesn't know whether to waterproof or fight hard.
