1717 New American Empire

Xiao Lin's order to Lin Xin was not actually to seriously assist the British in defeating the French. His real order was for Lin Xin to use the power of the British to hold back the 30,000 French troops who had entered the British colonies and give them to the company.

The French army sent troops to provide better conditions. You know, in order to defeat the British first, the French sent 30,000 troops this time, of which 20,000 were the most elite regular troops. As long as this force is not with the company, Xiao

Lin was able to rely on the 20,000 troops in his hands to defeat the French.

At the same time, in order to occupy more territory, Xiao Lin also began to recruit more militiamen. Officials from the Pandy family and the Adams family have been trained and are ready to take up their posts at any time. Now, just wait for Lin Xin to fight, and then Xiao Lin

Then the whole army can attack and occupy the French North American colonies in one fell swoop. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Xiao Lin's plan, Lin Xin must start fighting as soon as possible. After a night of struggle, Lin Xin and his staff finally solved everything here

Straightened out.

The French are still very powerful, with 30,000 troops, of which 20,000 are elite regular troops. 10,000 are regular troops that have just arrived from the mainland, and 10,000 are elite troops maintained in the colonies themselves. However, the 10,000 elite troops in the colonies, because

They fought with the British one after another, and many people were killed and injured. Originally, there were only about 4,000 people left. Later, some other militiamen and regular troops were selected to come in, and the number reached 10,000 again. Therefore, the combat effectiveness was a bit weak, and only those from the local area were left.

About 70% of 10,000 people.

Thirty thousand people, except for the 20,000 elites who each have one thousand and two thousand cavalry, for a total of three thousand cavalry, the rest are infantry and artillery. The ten thousand auxiliary militia are all the most basic musketeers, and they can serve as

Pike infantry. Among the remaining 17,000 soldiers, 12,000 are also musketeers, and the last 5,000 are artillery. They carry everything from four-pounders to 18-pounders. Four-pounders

Because it is the lightest and has the largest number, the British cannot yet determine the total number.

The eighteen-pounder cannon is the most powerful, but it is also the heaviest. If it weren't for the fact that the British's trench defense system was so powerful that it couldn't be solved without heavy artillery, the French might not have brought it at all. Therefore, the number of eighteen-pounder cannons

It was the first to be identified, with a total of thirty-five. At the same time, the thirty thousand French army was equipped with a total of three thousand revolvers. With this kind of equipment strength, if it were a few years ago, the British would really be desperate.

.

However, for the current British, it is not so powerful that it is desperate. Although the Hall M1819 rifle is the first breech-loading rifle, many things have not been developed and perfected, but one gun can hold up to three front-loading rifles.

There is no problem with loading the musket

The heavy punch type 75mm caliber artillery, because it adopts a black technology-like structure, as well as gunpowder and shells that are far ahead of this era, its power is no worse than the twelve-pounder cannon. Even if it uses ordinary gunpowder and inferior iron shells, its power is only

Thirty percent worse than the 12-pounder gun.

Moreover, because the gun body is made of high-quality light alloy steel, it is lighter. This good weapon, to the British aristocrats who are obsessed with cannons, is like seeing a roast chicken when a person has been hungry for more than ten days. Naturally, these people

They had already spent all their money. The so-called guns can be dispensed with, but cannons must be purchased. They actually frantically piled up the number of heavy fists to a full five hundred. This is the power of five hundred twelve-pound cannons. Far from it.

Super French artillery power.

On the British side, there are a total of 30,000 noble private troops. The nobles have a total of 3,000 cavalry and 17,000 musketeers, of which 7,000 are equipped with Hall M1819 style

rifle. This is plus the three brought by Lin Man and others.

Thousands of soldiers are equipped with Hall M1819 rifles. The three Earls Linman do not have much elite force. With miscellaneous and miscellaneous forces obtained from the company, they only have a total of 10,000 to 2,000 people.

Equipped with Hall M1819 rifle.

Because they had to suppress the riots in the colonies, there were only so many people in the early stage. It seemed that the British were still very powerful. Even if they could not defeat the French, they would not be pressed to the ground and rubbed like they are now. However, they

What is the situation with the French? All the troops are regular troops belonging to the country, and they all obey the orders of the generals sent by the colonial governor. When an order is given, the command is naturally well-organized and the battle response is quick.

As for the British, look at the 20,000 private troops, there are actually thirty-seven nobles, big and small. Because in the past, in order to seize land, obtain land benefits, and use it to compensate for their own losses, each of these nobles was more or less hostile to others.

There is some resentment. Not to mention giving the troops to others to command, it is good to be able to cooperate with others to fight together. The British, let alone one, have ordered thirty-seven, and they have always ordered many.

A taboo on the battlefield.

The reason why they can fight to this extent is because these nobles are relatively smart and can take the overall situation into consideration. And those who do not care about the overall situation have been defeated by the French long ago. Not to mention that all the private soldiers have not escaped, that is,

None of the nobles who were the leaders escaped. Even the Hall M1819 rifles and Heavy Fist 1 artillery in their hands fell into the hands of the French. Fortunately, these people did not have too many of these sharp weapons.

The worst estimate is that at most a thousand Hall and fifty heavy punches fell into the hands of the French. If enough were left for disassembly and imitation, they could join the battlefield at this time.

There are only 900 Hall muskets and thirty Heavy Fist Type 1 artillery pieces. Add in the strength of the 4th garrison brigade, machine guns, mortars, Yanhuang Type 1 rifles, and the overall strength here exceeds that of the French.

The most important thing at the moment was to get the command power over. However, things went smoothly beyond imagination. The reason why the noble coalition could not be coordinated again was because of the lack of an absolutely fair commander. It was the three Earls of Linman, among these three

Among the seventeen nobles, there are also some who are close to each other. After the previous grudges, these people simply cannot trust each other, so each one has been commanding his own troops.

However, Lin Xin is different. First of all, he is from the Yanhuang Trading Company and has no interest entanglements with anyone here. Secondly, when he had a verbal battle with many nobles before, his military talents have been recognized by all the nobles. In addition, the third

Armed readiness of the Fourth Garrison Brigade

What's more, after all the performances when we arrived yesterday, the one everyone was talking about is an elite force. What kind of place is the company? If there is no real talent, how can we lead such an elite force and eliminate it?

Lin Xin is a possibility on paper.

In this way, they are all willing to hand over the command. Moreover, they have negotiated privately that no one is allowed to ask for favors from Lin Xin and cannot let Lin Xin take care of their private army. However, they do treat Lin Xin

A condition was put forward that they need to go to the headquarters to observe and learn Lin Xin's command skills. Lin Xin said that there was no problem at all. They really thought that they could just watch and learn from the side. Then they would stay in the company's officer training class.

It's been a waste of time after all this time.

Without systematic training, if you want to learn the company's command skills, you have to watch for at least two or three years, and you can't leave in the middle, and you have to fight at least three times. No, just at the beginning, these nobles were blinded, Lin Xin

The entire determined battlefield area was actually made into a detailed map and sand table. They can still understand the sand table, after all, it is an intuitive three-dimensional form, but they can't understand the map at all, with various arrow marks and a series of numbers.

To them, it's like reading a book from heaven.

"Give the order to divide the army. Those who use Hall muskets will be called Hall teams, with one thousand people in one group. Those who use ordinary muskets will be called Brown Bess teams, with one thousand people in the same group. The artillery will use thirty heavy guns.

One type is equipped with ten cannons in a group, and the number of artillery is allocated to each. The cavalry is divided into six teams, each with 500 men."

"In the D3 area, immediately dispatch a Hall team, two Brown Bess teams, three artillery teams, and a cavalry team there. There is a river there, which is the main water source in the surrounding area. Let them choose suitable mountain artillery to build defenses.

The French must not be allowed easy access to water."

"yes!"

"In the A2 and A6 areas, each will send a group of soldiers according to the previous configuration. In the A4 area, let our people go. These three areas are close to the French camp. The British soldiers will provide cover, and we will be responsible for the main attack."

"yes!"

.......

The British nobles were stunned. Lin Xin and the others drew the map and prepared the sand table in silence. Then, a group of people gathered around, pointing at the map and sand table, and talked for a long time that they had no idea at all.

He understood the nouns and followed their instructions in time without knowing what they were talking about. After the discussion was over, Lin Xin started to give orders directly. Then, one by one, the ordering soldiers received the orders, left the headquarters, and went to the standby area.

Troop communication.

The French also rarely disappeared today. They rested for a day and did not call. The British originally wanted to take a rest, but as soon as the order was issued, they had no choice but to leave the current camp and go to their destinations to start building new trench defenses.

Fortifications. It can be seen that the British army began to switch from offense to defense. The fourth garrison brigade was the core in the middle, and the remaining musketeers were auxiliary. They pushed directly across the road. There was a group of British troops on each side, acting as horns for each other, covering

Chinese Army.

And Lin Xin was extremely disgusting and set up a nail in the French water collection area. If you want to get water, you will inevitably be attacked by them. Although it is not impossible to get it, it occupies the place with the largest flow of water. How can it be given to the French?

People add to the congestion.
