1717 New American Empire

Charlie is very satisfied with his choice to train the new army. After investing most of his wealth, the Lord's Sword has formed a strong combat effectiveness. The Lord's Sword has maintained complete combat effectiveness with the remaining 10,000 Heisen mercenaries.

Soldiers were the main body, plus 10,000 strong men selected from the militia and regular army, all trained by Adolf.

Adolf Charlie found out from various information circulated by the company that the company's guard attaches great importance to discipline, even to the point of disregarding life and death in order to complete orders. As long as such an army has a qualified commander, its combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying. The two felt that

The Lord's Sword must also be like this, so they are given crazy and repetitive instructional training.

In fact, to reach that level, it is not only necessary to train, but also to make the soldiers have no worries. At the same time, advanced combat concepts must be added. It would be great if Charlie can spend money to train the new army. Where else can he spend money?

Compensate them. However, this kind of brainwashing training also has a certain effect. At least, as long as there are not a large number of casualties, the Lord's Sword will still obey orders.

Coupled with the continuous canned meat every day, the physical fitness of the members of the Lord's Sword has improved a lot compared to before. Originally, field marches would be tiring for up to three hours, but now they can still have enough energy left at night after walking for a whole day.

Of course, due to unbalanced nutrition and heavy training, there are more or less hidden injuries in the body.

The Sword of the Lord also has a medical force, but the medical methods are really backward. Some of the drugs are mainly purchased from Europe, and most of the others are various so-called folk remedies. Only a few are cold and hemostatic drugs sold by the company.

There are no regular anti-inflammatory drugs. And wound inflammation is the main factor that takes away the lives of soldiers.

The lack of medicines is not a big deal. The key is that doctors don’t like to take baths, and they don’t even have a regular sterile operating room. The wards are also dirty and messy, only a little better than those civilian rooms. The bandages are only cleaned with water, which is not good at all.

There is no need to boil it in boiling water or soak it in alcohol. However, it is better than nothing. This kind of medical soldier organization has also reduced their abnormal attrition rate by 30%. For this, Charlie was very happy to commend him.

them.

Having said that, let’s talk about the equipment of the Lord’s Sword. Because of the war between Britain and France, the British seized bad French weapons and equipment, and even seized a lot of the company’s appearance version of revolvers and grenades. After experiments, the British

People discovered that these weapons were more advanced than the ones they used. The Brown Bess musket was already the best weapon made in Britain. As a result, the French colonial army used more advanced Brown Bess muskets.

Regarding the revolver, Charlie had heard that Alger had it before. He even used it to escape from a carefully planned assassination. At the beginning, Charlie wanted Alger to donate it to the colonial arsenal for imitation, and he also promised to give it to the colonial arsenal.

Alger offered some benefits. Originally, the benefits were too little, but Alger refused. However, this made Charlie furious and started to attack the Charles family.

The British were lucky enough to capture seven of them, and they didn't have many bullets. After a test firing, they found that although there was still no accuracy at a hundred meters away, they were more accurate than the brown bass within fifty meters. With a total of six bullets, one

It can be fired in minutes, and it is really a weapon for close combat. However, they really can't imitate that kind of bullet structure.

Of course, there is still the problem of insufficient time. If given another two years, it can still be done. However, Charlie knows that he does not have this time, and neither does the Lord's Sword. In two years, Yanhuang Trading Company

The level of development will definitely make the British desperate, and they can only survive in the shadow of the company.

Under Charlie's desperate urging, the colonial arsenal developed a black-tech weapon. This gun, named the Sharp Sword-1 rifle by Charlie, really amazed the military researchers of the Yanhuang Trading Company.

The Sword 1 combines a company-produced revolver with a French-made flintlock.

You asked well how it was combined. It was actually a revolver structure added to the rifle made by the French. They couldn't do six rounds, but they could still complete three rounds. They mixed the bullets and gunpowder and used a

The paper tube is fixed and then put into the turbine. The front and rear sections are pressed with pressing pieces, and the pressing pieces are connected to the gun body by iron wires. After firing one round, turn the turbine, and then you can fire two more shots.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but want to vomit. What's the difference between this and the legendary three-eyed blunderbuss? They both shoot three times. But don't tell me, after doing this, the probability of the chamber exploding has not increased much, but the firepower intensity has increased.

More than three times. After all, the gunpowder and marbles are sealed and assembled. You only need to tear off the paper at the front and rear ends and put them in to use.

Of course, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Yanhuang Trading Company, they would not use this kind of gun even if it costs a lot of money. If nothing else, the Yanhuang Type 1 rifles in their hands would be enough to kill such sharp swords.

.

After talking about guns, let’s talk about cannons. Why not talk about machine guns? That’s because the British can’t make this kind of weapon, which they call hellfire tongues. The key is that there is no physical reference, just relying on some people’s experiences.

To deduce, that is simply impossible. They haven't finished all the bullets yet, so if they really try to develop it by force, the result will be that the barrel explodes and injures one of their own people.

In terms of artillery, Charlie discovered that heavy artillery of nine-pounder caliber and above was enough to pose a fatal threat to Yanhuang Trading Company. Only six-pounder cannons and three-pounder cannons were too weak to have any effect on the trench defenses dug by the company's soldiers.

Threat. It is because these cannons are small in size and light in weight that they were not able to escape from the company's shelling.

In this regard, Charlie can only urge the steel plants below to smelt suitable gun steel. Now, iron-cast cannons and copper-cast cannons are no longer suitable. Strong and lightweight steel-cast cannons must be used in order to cast both quality and

The weight of the gun is good. In more than half a year, the British really made a new gun.

These people were all forced out. Charlie's policy of having a stick in his right hand and a carrot in his left forced all the steel plants to do their best research and barely produce a batch of qualified gun steel. After this batch of gun steel was cast into twelve-pound cannons,

The service life is 600 rounds. It may not seem like much, but the firing rate of the front-loading gun is too slow. The service life of 600 rounds is enough to fight a big battle.

There is no rifling, and there is no problem of accuracy or inaccuracy, as long as it does not explode. This kind of artillery was once again named the Glory of the Lord by Charlie, who was in the late stage of literary disease. Charlie was really scared by Xiao Lin, and he arrived

The level of praying to God and worshiping Buddha. White people don’t have gods and Buddhas all over the sky, so they believe in one God. The name he gave him makes people think he is an angel army in some fantasy novel.

New weapons have been developed, but their production is slow. Of the 20,000 Lord's Sword new army, only 5,000 have been equipped with the new Sharp Sword Type 1 rifles. There are only 30 Lord's Glory-class twelve-pound cannons and shells.

Since both guns and bullets are interchangeable, the quantity is extremely sufficient. The remaining people can only use Brown Bess muskets and some artillery made in the late 17th century.

However, even so, the soldiers of the Lord's Sword and the commander Adolf are equally confident. Fortunately, the news of the North American version of the September 18th Incident specially created by Xiao Lin has not yet come, otherwise they would not know

How proud. As soon as the front line received the information that Yanhuang Trading Company was found, they took the initiative to move forward.

If Charlie hadn't ordered them early to be on the safe side not to attack Yanhuang Trading Company easily, a fight would have started. They had investigated and found that the weapons of the company's escorts were still the same, so they gradually felt at ease. However, they

I don’t know, but the number of machine guns and 60mm mortars in the company’s field division has increased a lot.

The most critical thing is that the 122mm heavy artillery and 152mm heavy artillery are still in transit. If these people don't see it, it will be difficult to prepare. In order to prevent someone from bypassing the artillery and attacking the artillery, the frontline blockade is extremely tight. This is the 82mm mortar.

, were also hidden by the frontline commanders, just to kill these British people by surprise.

Since the heavy artillery has not yet arrived and the battle cannot officially begin, the Apaches and other frontline commanders are not idle either. First, they issued an order for their soldiers to trim the trench defense system and build more than three artillery positions.

, enough for the soldiers to be busy. Then, let Ye Xiao's people assist to find out the situation of the enemy's position.

They themselves called together the staff to integrate the intelligence collected by Night Owl. Then, they discussed the subsequent offensive strategy with instructors and officers like Li Ming who were extremely experienced in theory.

The place was busy and busy, but Adolf began to have doubts. Although he didn't know that Xiao Lin had asked his men to formally submit a declaration of war, he knew from this look that the people in the company were definitely not here for fun.

But when he first arrived, he didn't even talk about fighting. Instead, he separated three places to build defensive positions. He really thought he was stupid and would lead his army into it. Those fortifications seemed complicated to him.

, coupled with the company's powerful firearms, the Lord's sword will definitely not be able to break it even if it hits the head and bleeds.

They didn't move, and for a while, Adolf didn't dare to move. Even the scouts outside, he took back. Why did he do such an unreasonable thing? That's because he knew how powerful the Night Owl was.

The men under him are not even scouts, they can only be called sentinels. If they meet the night owl in the wild, they have no chance of winning.

Xiao Lin couldn't wait any longer, so he took the Guards Regiment (an expansion of the original 1st Battalion of the Guards) to the front line and personally took charge of the artillery transfer.
