In several previous battles, the Yanhuang Trading Company's guards had fought against Hessian mercenaries, but this was the first time to fight an enemy composed entirely of Hessian mercenaries. It has to be said that although it is not as good as the guards trained by Xiao Lin using the 21st century training method, it is not comparable to the colonial militia. Even if it is repaired, it will not sit directly on the ground like a militia and surround it. Xiao Lin doesn't know that this is all Adolf's credit.

During his twenty years of war, Adolf accumulated countless marching experience. He knew that after a high-intensity marching, the best rest was not to lie down or lie down immediately, but to take a slow walk. Under Adolf's command, the Hessian mercenaries began to slowly transfer the queues and list a square array of hundreds of people. After the square array was ready, the leg acid caused by the high-intensity marching had been relieved, and the soldiers slowly watched as sitting down, eating some bread and drinking some water. At the same time, the offensive array was also arranged and an attack could be launched at any time.

Xiao Lin naturally didn't dare to go out to fight. There were few people and the amount of ammunition was insufficient. Xiao Lin thought for a while and found that Babu was not far away from them, so he shouldn't have encountered anything. The Hesse mercenaries did not know that they had reinforcements, nor did they send cavalry to block reinforcements. Xiao Lin ordered through a radio telegraph to ask Babu to escort ten logistics soldiers riding tricycles to send a batch of ammunition to supply them.

After leaving the large army, everyone can get there in about an hour. This is good news for Xiao Lin. Now, it is no problem to save some force and persist for an hour. Adolf also saw clearly that the number of real enemies is less than a thousand, and most of them are people who are trapped. Logically speaking, the best strategy now is to find people to shout, encourage white civilians, and form a front and back attack on Xiao Lin and the others. In that case, the battle will end.

However, the white people have not been completely eliminated by the influence of medieval chivalry. The British who started the pirates may still be more cunning. The stereotyped Germans did not have the choice to defeat the enemy with conspiracy. The same is true for Adolf. In his opinion, there are only a few hundred enemies with rifles, which is not worth using any conspiracy, just fight directly. Half an hour later, after the rest, the infantry began to get up and warm up in small steps.

The cavalry also escorted the artillery to the front line, and the light four-pound cannons were pushed forward by the artillery. They imitated the French technology, and the effective range of these four-pound cannons was 800 meters. If they exceeded this distance, the shells would become unthreatening iron blocks due to the loss of kinetic energy. If the shotgun could only hit more than 500 meters, and they would not have much power when they were far away. Of course, compared with the previous three-pound cannons, it was already very good. At least, if they fought with the French, they would still have a certain ability to fight back.

Of course, for the heavy punch series of artillery, the distance is too short. Their effective range is more than one thousand meters. The first type is 1,200 meters and the second type is 1,500 meters. After all, the caliber is large, the gunpowder is powerful, and the amount of gunpowder can be installed is also large. As the process matures and the operator's skills are gradually proficient, this distance will continue to increase, and eventually reach more than two thousand. Adolf does not know the range of the cannons in Xiao Lin's hand, but according to inference, it will not be short.

According to his experience, the artillery stopped at a distance of 900 meters. Several small cannons were pushed out first, ready to test it. This time, Xiao Lin would not let the artillery hide its weakness. In the past few wars, in order to completely wipe out the enemy, they put the enemy's artillery into action. Therefore, the powerful range of the company's artillery was not exposed. As soon as a few small cannons were pushed out, the artillery of more than thirty guards was exerted. The artillery mounts of these cannons were all steel, the tires were rubber, which were stronger and lighter than wooden cannons and tires.

After being fixed, the artillery loaded ammunition at an extremely fast speed. As soon as Adolf turned his attention to the trenches, the adjutant reported the situation. Adolf had a little bad idea in his mind, and the escort artillery fired. Heavy punching artillery, which combined 21st century technology and 19th century technology, showed strong power in front of Adolf for the first time. The more than 40 four-pound cannons they squeezed together were directly covered. Under the huge kinetic energy, most of the first wave was destroyed.

Adolf then realized where the British fear came from. This power was completely a heavy artillery of twelve pounds or more, and it was so light. What shocked Adolf was that after just ten seconds, another shelling came again. This time, the remaining four-pound artillery was gone. The number of their artillery changed from seventy to less than thirty. Adolf began to sweat on his forehead. He didn't know why, but he had a terrible premonition that he would lose miserably.

This feeling made Adolf very annoyed and felt a little impatient. Forty four-pound cannons were taken away by the enemy, and Adolf almost didn't know what to do. Fortunately, after observing, the adjutant reminded him that the enemy seemed to have no ammunition. Indeed, the artillery soldiers did not have much ammunition, and each heavy punch series of artillery only had one shell left, just like a mortar. This amount cannot be wasted at all. If you are not careful, let alone leaving ammunition to attack the infantry, even the remaining artillery may not be completely destroyed. Before, three rapid fires were fired, and all the forty four-pound cannons of the enemy were exploded.

Seventy artillery pieces lost forty gold at once, and the enemy's artillery could not pose much threat to them. Putting them in and fighting together was the most correct choice. In between, the soldiers could only rely on the trenches to avoid the enemy's shelling. Adolf followed the adjutant's instructions and found that the enemy's artillery did not continue to load the ammunition box next to the artillery seemed to be empty inside, and it seemed that there were really no shells.

Adolf continued to ask someone to push five small cannons forward, and then stopped after reaching the position where he was attacked before. He found that he had not been bombarded by the enemy. Adolf was really happy. All the remaining artillery was pushed out by them and began to prepare for shooting. Since the enemy artillery no longer had shells, he would not waste time and shells on them, but designed the guard soldiers with heads exposed in the trenches.

"Be careful of artillery!"

Solid bombs have little effect on trenches. Not to mention solid bombs, even the 120-mm heavy artillery during World War II, it is hard to say that they can destroy the enemies in the complete trenches. Xiao Lin did not ask his subordinates to build a cat ear pierced cat, and stayed in the trenches directly. Unless he was at the extreme of luck, he would not be hit by the solid bombs. Instead, some solid bombs hit the slope behind the Battle Cry, rolled down and crushed the toes of more than a dozen careless guys, and more than a dozen screams of pain came out.

Of course, Adolf also saw the limitations of solid bullets. After firing a few shots, he found that the guard artillery was still not moving. He was even more courageous. The artillery advanced again, and reached a place five hundred meters away from the trench and began to use shotgun bombardment. At the same time, fifteen muskets and 1,500 muskets and troops began to step forward, and a large army of 1,500 muskets were pressing forward, preparing to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. Adolf was thinking in his mind that the gun was secretly hidden from the guard artillery.

"Be careful, put it in and shoot it. Don't just hold all the bullets in a flash and shoot them with some points. As long as the enemy loses its combat power, there is no need to replenish the gun. Persist for a while, and the aid ammunition will come immediately."

"yes!"

Xiao Lin was holding a Type 17 pistol and Ye Xiao's warriors in the first trench. The weapons made by Xiao Lin's factory were the same caliber, and the rifles and submachine guns were 7.62 mm. Ye Xiao's warriors got bullets from the hands of the first battalion of charge platoons, and fifty submachine guns also recovered their firepower, but one gun only had ninety bullets, so they had to save fire. The Hesse mercenaries lined up neatly and came to a distance of 120 meters. The two hundred-man formations stopped and started charging and shooting as a cover force.

When they reached a distance of 100 meters, two hundred-man formations stopped again and shot the enemy together. Four hundred guns shot towards the trench positions, which still caused a considerable deterrence. The soldiers shrank their heads and waited for the remaining enemies to move. If they stopped shooting at a distance of 80 meters, they would come out and crippled the enemy. If they kept stopping, they would also make designs when they reached 80 meters.

The Hesse mercenaries didn't want to rush in and fight with the enemy in a short time. Charlie gave Adolf information about submachine guns and pistols. They probably couldn't beat them in close combat. In addition, the previous shooting did not cause much casualties to the enemy, so they just wanted to close the shooting. It was a coincidence that 1,100 musketeers stopped and scattered and shot freely. While they were loading, Xiao Lin quickly led the 300 Yeye Owl Warriors to come forward, and the pistol submachine guns and rifles were fired together. In just over ten seconds, the three hundred-man formations were crippled.

"Damn it, the artillery is concentrated and continue to suppress the enemy. The soldiers are suffering too much."

"Sir, the artillery is too scattered and cannot form a deterrent force."

"Then push it all up. The enemy has no shells and there will be no danger. Suppress the local infantry and let our infantry push it up."

Adolf still felt distressed. The three thousand Hessian mercenaries were the best among the 30,000 troops. It was uncomfortable to sacrifice one, let alone hundreds of people killed or injured. But this was the slow attitude that made him gather the scattered artillery, and this was exactly the opportunity for the guard artillery to wait. Seeing that the enemy artillery gathered together, all the remaining artillery shells hidden were taken out by them and filled into the artillery at an extremely fast speed.
