After all, the militia is just a militia, and it has maintained a high-intensity alert state for several days, but there is no sign of the enemy. The town's 1,000 militia had long since lost any vigilance. As for Kent's men, they are still recovering and don't have the leisure to help them patrol. Clark, as the mayor of the town, how could he personally lead the guard, so, at night, the wooden walls were full of dozing militiamen.

Xiao Lin and the others went to bed early, there was no cavalry outside to search the enemy, and they didn't care where they slept. At one o'clock in the morning, the platoon commanders of each company woke up their fighters in turn. Get up and eat a little, and then the soldiers begin to check their pretenses. Fortunately, the rifle was strong enough, and in late spring, the dew in the forest was so heavy that even if it was loaded with gunpowder, it would have been too wet to be used.

Throughout the whole process, Xiao Lin and the others maintained a silent attitude, no one spoke loudly, and no one made a big noise. All of them, according to the arrangement before the break, gathered together in a row, and then moved under the mother. The mortar platoon, also with mortars, followed Sholin to a position seven hundred meters from the city wall. At this distance, they can attack the wooden wall gate with impunity and accuracy. Xiao Lin did not intend to fight a siege battle with the enemy, he wanted to attack as soon as possible, and then use the weapon advantage to fight them in street battles.

At this time, it is also the time when people are most sleepy, that is, the patrol, and therefore fall into a half-asleep and half-awake state of confusion. No one paid attention to who's out there in the wilderness and what's going on. Xiao Lin personally operated a mortar for demonstration, and the gunners selected by the rest of the crew followed Xiao Lin's movements to operate the gun. Sholin provides accurate data so that these novices can aim their guns accurately at the gate.

After the sound of ten shells leaving the barrel of the cannon, not far away, the sound of seven violent explosions was heard from the wound of the wooden gate. Three shells missed and exploded into the wooden wall. The sound of the gates collapsing, combined with the sound of mortar shells exploding, completely woke up the entire town. Clark and Kent, who were asleep, sat up from the bed at once, Kent told him about mortars, and Clark understood as soon as he heard that the enemy who had defeated Kent had really hit.

At this time, there were still some remnants of medieval chivalry in European countries, and night raids occurred relatively rarely. At least, none of the people in the town have experienced it. They had no experience in dealing with night raids, and the first thing they did was to light torches first. By the time Clark and Kent arrived, dressed them, grabbed their rifles, and assembled to leave the barracks to attack, Shoren had already infiltrated the town with his troops.

The civilians of the town are not too strong. Not to mention coming out with an axe or a musket that you bought yourself to stop them, not even lighting them. Xiao Lin's soldiers did not speak, relying on the treatment provided by Xiao Lin, none of them had night blindness. It is difficult for the town army to find targets in the dark, but they can spot the town army. With the firing of four submachine guns, the group of enemies was scattered, and then eliminated one by one by the fighters with medium rifles.

Under these circumstances, the morale of the more than 1,900 British soldiers inevitably slowly declined. After an hour of street fighting, some people began to choose to leave the battlefield, and they didn't want to fight. Shawlin's men were in black uniforms, and they couldn't be seen as enemies without going in, and there were many of them who could speak English with a British accent, and they could find out that something was wrong if they could test it, but not Clark and Kent's men.

After an hour of fighting, only a dozen of Xiao Lin's men were wounded. Clark and Kent's men, but nearly 400 people were incapacitated. This is the difference between military training in the early modern era and the troops under modern military training. Clark and Kent also found that it was not possible, and if they continued like this, not to mention defeating the enemy, it was impossible to say whether they could save themselves. After discussing with the two, they felt that they should first lead the troops to shrink their defenses and drag the time in the barracks until dawn.

As long as it is daybreak, the enemy will not be their opponent, and in the town, the enemy's weapons will not have the advantage of long range, and they can also damage or even kill the enemy in large numbers. However, this is exactly what Shawlin had in mind. Xiao Lin didn't plan to kill them all, the purpose of this attack was to give the enemy enough deterrence, and the additional thing was to grab more antique gold coins and other good things to go back.

Seeing that the British troops were moving towards the barracks, Shoren did not stop it. He had the 1st and 2nd companies chase after the enemy and make them flee to the barracks at a faster speed. And the third and fourth companies, under the leadership of Babu, dared to go to the mayor's house and all the places where there was a little wealth. All the antiques, paintings, and gold coins were quickly scavenged and placed in the three-wheeled bicycle cargo compartment that entered the city at the back.

Many civilians were also forcibly dragged out and walked outside the town at gunpoint by the soldiers. Of these, the majority must be innocent civilians. What Xiao Lin asked his subordinates to do would inevitably cause a lot of damage to their property and health. However, there is not much time to manage now. When they arrived, they all became Xiao Lin's subordinates, so Xiao Lin would naturally give them more compensation. It's not any guilt, it's that Xiao Lin needs to buy people's hearts and minds, and he needs to mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

At least here in Xiao Lin, they still have to become rich one day, instead of living in the purgatory world that Xiao Lin thinks for the rest of their lives. After two hours of fighting, three hours of looting, the town was completely lit up at seven o'clock. The tricycle convoy, and the three or four companies of the white men who were escorting two thousand captives, had already left the town.

Clark and Kent also found out about Shoren's robbery, and they tried to stop them with their army, but were beaten back by four submachine guns and ten mortars. The corpses made by mortars and submachine guns were so miserable that their men did not dare to attack outside without seeing the target.

The soldiers of the second company did not stop, and all the remaining grenades made in the camp were buried in piles, with wooden handle grenades, pulled up the line to make earthen mines. The line was at the gate of the barracks, and if someone came out, they would definitely be able to pull it off, and as soon as the wooden-handled grenade exploded, the flames made the inferior grenade explode, powerful enough to kill dozens of people. Before dawn, the soldiers of the second company also evacuated to the outside of the town while being vigilant against the enemy.

When Clark and Kent found out, they had already arrived at the gates of the town. The two hurriedly let people chase after them, but they triggered a grenade at the door, and there were two explosions, which blew up more than 30 people who were crowded into a pile at the door on the spot. This was another fright, which made the infantry retreat back into the barracks again, not daring to move. It wasn't until an hour later that someone tried to go outside, but nothing happened. Clark and Kent hurriedly arranged for their men to clean up the mess.

This time, Clark was crippled, and the entire residence was ransacked, and if it weren't for the heavy weight of the furniture, maybe even these things would not have been left behind. At the beginning, Clark's father told him that a nobleman must have some literary and artistic works in order to show his noble temperament, so half of Clark's annual income is used to buy these things. As a result, it was all cheaper for Xiao Lin. Of the more than 5,000 people in the town, 2,000 were taken away, and all of them were taken away as a whole family. Of these, there are 1,100 adult laborers, and more than 800 men.

A tavern, an inn, and a grocery store were emptied of all the valuables. The owner and the waiter, too, were taken away. Statistically, the town is really deprived of vitality this time. If Clark hadn't gotten help from his family, the whole town would have been so depressed.

However, Xiao Lin really gained too much this time. The submachine gun and mortar combined, Xiao Lin only spent more than 10 million, and now, the submachine gun ammunition consumption is less than one-tenth. The consumption of mortar shells, also to a third. The remaining number is enough to support them to fight five more wars of less than 10,000 people. In terms of population, Shoren harvested four thousand people, half Indian, half white. Among them, the number of adult laborers has reached more than 1,900. Others, on the other hand, can also do less tiring work.

In terms of money, the harvest of 30,000 pounds, minted by an authentic British mint. It seems that it has also experienced the passage of time, and it may be able to be sold as an antique in modern society. If some of these coins were scarce in the 21st century, they would sell for much higher prices. Clark's collection of literary and artistic works consists of 100 pieces, and all of them are fine. Most of them are oil paintings, and the most precious of them is the famous painter Ducky's "Field of Hope" (to prevent harmony, made up by himself), which has been determined to be extinct in the 21st century, and will surely sell for a sky-high price if it is auctioned.

In the following period, Xiao Lin is not in a hurry to return to the 21st century. There are so many good things, and now he can't finish them, and if he doesn't shoot them together, he is afraid that he will be damaged because of improper storage, and he will not be distressed to death. Besides, there are still four thousand people who fell into the hands of Xiao Lin because of the war, and they have to be dealt with well. With so many people eating at once, Xiao Lin was really a little overwhelmed. All of his subordinates were dispatched, so that no one saw the opportunity to make trouble.

The means were all the same, sending his Indians and whites to explain to them the treatment on their side. If you are willing to cooperate, you will enter the internship inspection period and can enjoy some basic benefits. Those who are unwilling to cooperate can only starve in the captive camp.
