Chapter 20 Overall Planning

Babu clarified his thoughts and immediately began to gather his subordinates. Babu now has a thousand lobster soldiers, most of whom are not Babu's private soldiers, with 800. Speaking of which, they are still regular British troops, and are managed by the colonial government. However, they are still willing to obey Babu's orders and go out to fight wild food from time to time. The lobster soldiers who were originally lazy gathered faster.

In fact, it’s not good to be a soldier in the colony. Not to mention the lack of oil and water, these civilians are all goods that cost money and live. They are too tight. Maybe when they pass through a small alley, they stabbed them with a dagger. However, relying on that little salary, they are not easy enough. Therefore, doing private work is something that the colony lobster soldiers do. Not to mention these thousand lobster cakes, hundreds of flintlock guns can still be collected.

In the early 18th century, the British army's equipment developed rapidly. The navy had already used breech guns, and the army was divided into cavalry and infantry artillery. The main weapon of the cavalry was sabers, and the artillery was basically cannons, and the infantry had used smoothbore guns with steel bayonets. There were only fifty cavalry in the town of Babu, and there was no way, and it cost too much to raise horses. It was good to have this number. There were only fifty artillery soldiers, and there were only three three-pound field cannons, which were old styles from the 17th century.

Infantry is the cheapest, and seven hundred people are infantry holding smoothbore rifles. The remaining two hundred and fifty are grenadiers, and one hundred and fifty are melee commanders centered on Hessian mercenaries. The combat weapons are a short-handled flintlock rifle and a one-handed sword. Overall, the combat power is still very strong. However, for a thousand people, Babu took out at most seven hundred people, and he had to leave three hundred people to guard the town. Otherwise, if someone reported it, the location of the town would be no longer guaranteed.

An army of 700 people and three cannons. In addition to the poor road conditions of the American continent, it will take at least two weeks to get from Babu Town to Xiao Lin and his current place. At this time, Xiao Lin has used military training methods to train 300 men for three weeks. Several young people have been unable to get training and withdraw from the regular troops to become reserves. What will be started in the next two weeks is mountain combat training, including lurking and concealing, survival in the wild and ambushing operations.

In order to ensure safety, Xiao Lin arranged for each combat line to take turns to keep watch outside the training ground to prevent the unexpected arrival of wild beasts or unknown forces and cause training casualties. On this day, it was the turn of the combat squad led by Sai Qunxiong to keep watch. Originally, he didn't use it. As the company commander, what he needed to learn more about collaborative combat and command. Knowledge, and there was no problem with other training squads. He could not stand it just sitting on a stool all day and learning cultural knowledge.
