Chapter 84: When the army crosses the border, people and animals are shocked
New York, a city with a prosperous atmosphere, slowly began to fall into silence as the sun sets. This is a fixed rule in the past, but today, this rule has been broken. At dusk, ten thousand British troops in red uniforms entered New York City. It seemed that all the alleys were walking in groups of lobster soldiers. The civilians in the entire New York City ended their original plans and hurried back home and closed the door and looked outside vigilantly.
Even many merchants closed their stalls in advance, for fear of provoking these vicious soldiers. The British army has never been a popular place in North American colonies. Every time the British land raises taxes, these armies are the greatest guarantee. For civilians, the British army is synonymous with vampires and robbers. Many people were disturbed by the turkeys fed to the streets and were directly captured by the lobster soldiers for extra meals at night. The civilians who lost the turkey did not dare to say anything, and could only watch their efforts go in vain.
This army is the Adams family and the Pandy family. They spent a year training to deal with the Yanhuang Trading Company. For this army, the two families took out their old foundations. If the Yanhuang Trading Company cannot be destroyed and the rich spoils from Xiao Lin, the two families will decline.
The army of ten thousand full, five hundred were elite cavalry units equipped with flintlock pistols and sabers and breastplate. In addition, one thousand five hundred were artillery units equipped with thirty four-pound cannons, twenty nine-pound cannons, ten twelve-pound cannons and five eighteen-pound cannons. The last eight thousand were all musketeers. Three hundred of them were elite Hessian mercenaries holding weapons purchased from France, and the others were brand new brown bass muskets.
This is not all the power of the two families. Since they have decided to make a desperate bet, the two families have not kept their back. The last little money in the family was taken out by them, and two thousand Indians who were in contact with them joined in, using the muskets and three-pound cannons they eliminated to attack the Yanhuang Trading Company together.
Speaking of which, there is a benefit that is not good at installing a flintlock rifle in front. Because of the lack of accuracy, the number of guns on the battlefield is used to kill the enemy by quantity. Even if you practice your gun skills well, you will not be able to hit your target accurately. Therefore, musketeers who use the guns on the front only need to train the queue and load the fire, and their shooting ability does not need to be very good at all. This is also the reason why two families can train a army of 10,000 in just a few months after buying weapons.
Of course, the person who led this army was also the one who knew the soldiers selected among the two families. The Pandy family was fine, and Clark was still there. After so long of his cultivation, Clark also regained his mentality. Moreover, after being taught by Xiao Lin twice, he also began to learn from the Yanhuang Guards, using what he had observed on the battlefield to his own personal guards. Not long after training, he had surpassed ordinary soldiers and approached the Hessen mercenaries.
The Adams family, the only Kent who can be compared with Clark, is now a squad leader in the Fifth Battalion of the Guards of Yanhuang Trading Company. After the selection, the Adams family only selected one descendant who had learned this. It seems that this person has a deep understanding of the army and can be said to be a military genius. However, just like Zhao Kuo, a famous Chinese history, he is a man of talk on paper. How did you find out, it was what Clark felt when he led the army with him during this period.
Speaking of which, it is very clear and every sentence is reasonable, but the execution ability is too poor. Once you encounter something complicated, you will lose your inch. If Clark hadn't helped you all the way, the army would have mutiny. Therefore, even the part of the army invested by the Adams family is more convinced of Clark. This British Baron Zhao Kuobobi is really furious, and he is hard to exude anger, and he will reach the sky.
As soon as they arrived in New York, they called the management officer of the New York military warehouse and cursed wildly. The reason was that the military supplies here had an abnormal decrease. What is an abnormal decrease? It was not consumed by the army, but was sold secretly. Originally, they had to replenish supplies here and waited for the arrival of the three thousand Indian auxiliary soldiers before setting off. For this reason, they all paid in advance and ordered all the logistics supplies here.
All the money was given, but there was less, how could Poppy not completely break out? Even Clark was very annoyed by this and did not stop Poppy's behavior. The logistics officer was just a down-and-out knight. How could he dare to risk offending the two major families and hold on without saying anything. He was not punished and offered Logan out.
Why Logan is because these materials were bought by Logan for Yanhuang Trading Company. Of course, New York has all handled the matter, and as long as the top leaders don’t come to investigate, there will definitely be no problems. Who knows that people who have not come to investigate in the past ten years suddenly came to take over all the materials and the matter was exposed. The warehouse manager didn’t know that when the Yanhuang Trading Company, he knew that Logan, who was standing on the surface, would of course provide him with it.
The angry Poppy directly ordered the entire cavalry to dispatch the entire army and, under the leadership of the warehouse official, to arrest Logan. However, Logan had already received news. How could Logan be uncautious when he could get from a farmer to the present? The next thing to assist the Yanhuang Trading Company in purchasing was to gain money and to plan a good way out for his future. Of course, he also knew the hostile relationship between the Yanhuang Trading Company and the United Kingdom.
Once the matter was exposed and he was caught, there would definitely be no good result. Therefore, Logan had already prepared for this day. He bribed many people, including several ordinary guardians in the warehouse. One of them lived in the same area as the warehouse officials. When he saw the warehouse officials being taken away by the new army, he realized the troops. The man secretly left the people, touched Logan's house, and told Logan what he saw.
Logan's intuition also told him that things must have been exposed. He did not delay. After giving the officials who came to report the news, he activated emergency measures. With the pounds given by Xiao Lin, his power was quite strong. He had almost all the low-level officers in New York. He had more than 60 of the 300 Hessian mercenaries under his command. These trustworthy people usually gathered in a nearby hotel. Logan, who was rich and powerful, booked the entire hotel for them to live in.
Logan had nothing to clean up. He had spent almost all his money, and only a little left. He had no family. If he didn't want that house, he didn't care. In half an hour, he took sixty-three confidants out of the city. At this time, the soldiers sent by Poppy met with the warehouse officials and walked towards Logan's house together.
There is no curfew regulation in New York, but there are patrol teams on the streets. However, today, because the two families of troops entered the city, the number of patrol teams has been reduced a lot. Occasionally, one or two people encountered, and because Logan was a comrade and had money to manage, he greeted him enthusiastically and left. However, in order not to reveal the flaws, they could only walk out of the city slowly. Finally, they came to a locked small house on the outermost side of the city. Logan opened the lock and a group of people walked in.
There were not many cavalrymen in New York, and Logan and his team only had thirty war horses. These war horses were usually placed in the barracks, and Logan could not touch them in a hurry. If he wanted to escape successfully, he had to run faster than the cavalry. Therefore, Logan hid thirty-three mountain bikes here. For several months, his confidants also learned to drive using several folding bicycles placed on the surface. Two people got on the bike in groups and immediately rode their bikes out of the city.
There is no city wall in New York, and there is naturally a gap in such a large area, which is a place where no one is guarding it. Sixty-four people came out of here one after another. As soon as they stepped out of New York, Logan found that the whole of New York was bustling with thousands of lobster soldiers rushing around the city and searching for Logan. A group of British troops got a position from a civilian who accidentally discovered Logan's trace. Nearly a hundred cavalry gathered together and chased him here frantically.
Both sides began a journey of pursuit and escape, one after another. Although the cavalry chased each other very tightly, Logan and the others finally successfully escaped. The cavalry only had one war horse, and the war horse was a creature and would be exhausted. Logan and his bicycle were machines. When a person pedaled, he would change to another person to pedal. The off-road ability of mountain bikes was not worse than that of horses. Naturally, the two sides later set apart.
There was no benefit of telegram, and the British colonies passing by along the way didn't know that the group was arrested by the army. When the news came, they had already left here. Logan still had two thousand pounds in his hand, and he had supplies along the way, and some instant noodles and canned foods he had kept. After more than a month, he finally arrived at the Yanhuang Trading Company.
They were lucky enough to meet the Yanhuang caravan who was preparing to go for the last transaction. However, since the matter in New York was exposed, the caravan didn't have to go anymore and took Logan's sixty-four people back to the town.
After more than half a year of construction, the town has also changed, full of modern and modern atmosphere. The large residential buildings are beautiful and sturdy, with the same style, and look indescribable. More than a dozen iconic buildings have reached the level of five-story buildings. Although the 15-meter-high factory chimney is not a miracle, it looks amazing. Logan and his group are dazzling like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
