Chapter 172 The Sword of the Lord
Charlie was very satisfied with his choice to train a new army. After investing most of his wealth, the Lord's Sword formed a strong combat power. The Lord's Sword was mainly composed of the remaining Hessian mercenaries who maintained their complete combat power, plus ten thousand strong men selected from the militia and regular army, and was trained by Adolf.&1t;/p>
According to various information circulated by the company, Adolf Charlie saw that the company's guards attached great importance to discipline, and even reached the point where they ignored life and death in order to complete the order. As long as such an army has a qualified commander, their combat effectiveness is extremely terrible. The two felt that the Lord's Sword must also be like this, so they frantically conducted repeated instructional training on them.&1t;/p>
In fact, to reach that level, it not only requires training, but also warriors without worries. At the same time, advanced combat concepts must be added. It would be nice to be able to use money to train new troops, and they would also pay for them. However, this kind of brainwashing training also has certain effects. At least, as long as there are not a large number of casualties, the Lord's Sword will still obey the orders.&1t;/p>
With the continuous canned meat every day, the physical fitness of the Lord's Sword members is much better than before. Originally, they would be tired after marching for up to three hours in the field, but now they can still keep enough energy at night. Of course, because of the unbalanced nutrition and heavy training, there are more or less hidden injuries in their bodies.&1t;/p>
The main sword also has a medical soldier system, but the medical methods are really backward. The drugs are mainly purchased from Europe, and most of the others are all so-called folk remedies. Only a very small number are colds and hemostatic drugs that have been leaked from the company. There is no anti-inflammatory medicine. And wound inflammation is the main factor that takes away the lives of the warriors.&1t;/p>
The lack of medicine is nothing. The key is that doctors don’t like to take a bath, and they don’t even have a regular sterile operating room. The ward is also dirty and messy, and it’s just a little better than those civilian houses. Bandages are just a little clearer with water, and they don’t use boiled water or soaked alcohol at all. However, it’s better than not. This system of medical staff has also reduced their abnormal reduction rate by 30%. For this, Charlie was very happy to commend them.&1t;/p>
After saying this, let’s talk about the equipment of the Lord’s Sword. Because of the British and French war, the British seized bad French weapons and equipment, and even the company’s appearance version of the revolver and grenade were seized. After experiments, the British found that these weapons were more advanced than what they used. The brown bass musket was already the best weapon made by the British, but the French colonial army used it was a little more advanced than the brown bass musket.&1t;/p>
Regarding the revolver, Charlie had heard of Alger in his hands before. He even escaped from a carefully planned assassination. At that time, Charlie wanted Alger to offer him and let the colonial arsenal imitate it, and promised to give Alger some benefits. Originally, there were too few benefits, but Alger refused. However, it made Charlie furious and began to attack the Charles family.&1t;/p>
The British lucky enough to seize seven bullets, but there were not many bullets. After the test shot, although they still had no accuracy at 100 meters, they were even more accurate than brown bass within 50 meters. With a total of six bullets, they could shoot out in one minute, which was really a weapon of melee combat. However, they really couldn't imitate that kind of bullet structure.&1t;/p>
Of course, there is still a problem of insufficient time. If you give it another two years, you can still make it happen. However, Charlie knew that he did not have this time, nor did the Lord's Sword. Two years, with the development of the Yanhuang Trading Company, it would definitely make the British despair and could only survive in the shadow of the company.&1t;/p>
Under the urging of Charlie's soul-storming, the colonial arsenal created a black technology weapon. This gun, a rifle named by Charlie, really amazed all the military researchers of the Yanhuang Trading Company. The sword style combines the revolver produced by the company and the flintshore made by the French.&1t;/p>
How to combine it, you asked well. It was just adding a revolver structure to the rifle made by the French. They couldn't do six, but three could still be done. They mixed the bullets and gunpowder, fixed them with a paper barrel, and then put them in the turbine. The front and rear sections were pressed with a pressing tablet, which was connected to the gun by wire. After one shot, turn the turbine and then you can continue to fire two shots.&1t;/p>
Xiao Lin couldn't help but say something. What's the difference between this and the legendary three-eyed gun? They are all three shots. But don't say that, after doing this, the probability of blowing up the chamber did not increase much, but the firepower intensity increased by more than three times. After all, gunpowder and munitions were sealed and assembled. Just tear the paper at the front and rear ends and put it in and use it.&1t;/p>
Of course, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Yanhuang Trading Company, they would not use this kind of gun if they pay a huge amount of wealth. Not to mention anything else, the Yanhuang rifle in their hands is like this, which is the sharp sword, one style, and eight main roads.&1t;/p>
After talking about guns, let’s talk about cannons. Why not talk about machine guns? That’s because the British can’t make such a weapon they call Hell’s tongue. The key is that there is no physical reference, and it is impossible to infer it just by relying on the experiences of some people. They have not done a good job of bullets in one piece. If they really have to force them to fire, they will only have to blow the chamber and hurt their own people.&1t;/p>
In terms of cannons, Charlie has found that heavy artillery with a caliber of nine-pound cannons and above is enough to pose a fatal threat to the Yanhuang Trading Company. There are only six-pound cannons and three-pound cannons, because of their poor power, and there is no threat to the trench fortifications dug by the company's soldiers. However, because these cannons are small in size and light in weight, they are not able to escape from the company's shelling.&1t;/p>
In this regard, Charlie could only urge the steel mills below to smel out suitable gun steel. Now, iron cast guns and copper cast guns are no longer suitable. They must use solid and lightweight steel cast guns to cast good guns that take into account both quality and weight. In more than half a year, the British really made new guns.&1t;/p>
This person was forced out. Charlie's policy of using a big stick with his right hand and a carrot with his left hand forced all the steel mills to study it thoroughly and barely create a batch of qualified gun steel. After this batch of gun steel is cast into twelve-pound guns, the service life is 600. It seems that there are not many, but the front-loading gun fire is too slow, and the life span of 600 is enough to fight a big battle.&1t;/p>
There is no rifle, and there is no problem of accuracy or inaccuracy. As long as you ensure that you don't blow it up, you can do it. This kind of artillery was named the main glory by Charlie in the late stage of the art disease. Charlie was really scared by Xiao Lin, and he was at the level of praying for gods and worshiping Buddhas. The white people did not have gods and Buddhas in the sky, but believed in a God and named it. Those who don't know would think it was the angel legion in the fantasy novel.&1t;/p>
The new weapon was developed, but it was slow to manufacture. Only 5,000 new troops of the Lord's Swords were replaced with a new sword-type rifle. The Lord's Swords had only thirty twelve-pound cannons. Because both shells and bullets were available, the number was extremely sufficient. The remaining people could only use brown bass muskets and some artillery made in the late 17th century.&1t;/p>
However, even so, the warriors of the Lord's Sword and commander Adolf were all full of confidence. Fortunately, the news of the North American version of the September 18th Incident that Xiao Lin specially created had not yet come, otherwise he would not know how proud they were. As soon as the frontline received information about the Yanhuang Trading Company, they took the initiative to move forward.&1t;/p>
If Charlie had not ordered them to take the initiative to face the Yanhuang Trading Company early on, it would have been a start. They had investigated that the weapons of the company's escort team were still the same, so they gradually calmed down. However, they did not know that the number of machine guns and 6ommm mortars of the company's field divisions increased a lot.&1t;/p>
The most important thing is that the 122mm heavy artillery and 152mm heavy artillery are still in transportation. If these people don’t see it, it will be difficult to prepare. In order to prevent someone from going around and attacking artillery, the front line blockade is extremely tight. Even the 82mm mortars were hidden by the front line commanders, just to kill these British people unexpectedly.&1t;/p>
Since the heavy artillery has not arrived and the battle cannot be officially started, Apache and other frontline commanders are not idle either. First, they issued an order to ask their soldiers to trim the trench defense system and build more than three artillery positions, which is enough for the soldiers to work hard. Then, let Ye Xiao’s people help to find out the situation of the enemy’s positions.&1t;/p>
And they themselves gathered all the staff members to integrate the information collected by Ye Xiao. Then, they discussed the subsequent offensive strategies with Li Ming, instructors and officers with rich theoretical experience.&1t;/p>
This place was busy, but Adolf began to wonder. Although he didn't know that Xiao Lin asked his subordinates to formally submit a declaration of war, he knew that the people in the company were definitely not here to visit.&1t;/p>
But when he arrived at the place, he didn't say that he had fought, but instead separated three places to build his own defensive positions. I really thought he was stupid and would lead the army to hit him head-on. Those fortifications that he thought were complicated when he looked at him, and with the company's powerful firearms, the main sword would definitely be broken and bloody even if he couldn't break it.&1t;/p>
They didn't move, and for a moment, Adolf didn't dare to move lightly. Even the scouts outside, he took them back. Why did he do such unreasonable things? That's because he knew Ye Xiao's power. Even his subordinates were not even scouts. They could only be said to be the men who were snooping the whistle. When they met Ye Xiao in the wild, they had no chance of winning.&1t;/p>
Xiao Lin couldn't wait any longer and brought his personal guard regiment (the first battalion of the former guard team) to the front line and personally took charge of artillery transfer.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
