Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World

When the First Infantry Battalion arrived at the city gate, there was already no resistance here, and An Qiluo and others and their men all ran away. They quickly occupied the city gate area, and the residents in the city were scared to hide at home and closed the doors and windows, and the whole town was quiet. Bryce left a company to guard the city gate and commanded the other two companies to march towards the Lord's Mansion.

Paul quickly came to Butuya city with his staff and musket company. He had already seen through the binoculars that Angelo and others ran around the city wall without even returning to the city. It was a pity that he did not have a cavalry team. There is no way to escape. Bryce sent someone to report that there was no resistance on the way from the west gate to the Lord's Mansion. One company's soldiers had already occupied the Lord's Mansion, and another company searched the surrounding area around the Lord's Mansion to see if there were any No remnants hide.

After arriving at the lord's mansion, it was already a mess. After careful searching by the Arda army, no participant in the conspiracy was found—the steward Miles must have slipped away. His subordinates and cronies—arranged by him The servants and guards in the lord's mansion must have been afraid of being liquidated after learning the news of the failure of the chief seal holder outside the city, and they also stole the valuables they could find and fled separately. The remaining few servants hid in the corner and shivered, and these people were temporarily detained by the soldiers.

An hour later, the Second Battalion also entered Butuya City after collecting the prisoners and counting the battlefield. They cooperated with the previous troops to search the whole city and occupied the other three city gates.

At this time, the Lord's Mansion was also simply cleaned up, and Paul called the officers to have dinner together in the hall.

The victory just won made all the officers excited. Arda's army defeated twice as many enemies as itself. In a frontier place like the Northwest Gulf, it can really be called an "epic victory". They didn't eat well, and kept sharing their experiences in battle with each other.

"I was standing in the front row of our company. You didn't see the situation at that time. A large group of Bairdin militiamen tried to attack our formation. There was such a large group of people. Fortunately, what they held was not The sickle is the shovel, and it was pierced by a row of our spears, and those poor people who ran to the front were stabbed to death, and a shovel also severely peeled off a large piece of skin on my shoulder."

Company Commander David, with a bandage on his right arm, spittled and described how he led a company of spearmen to hold off a large group of Bairdin's militiamen. After the battle started, the musketeer company was on the left wing, while his company was on the right wing. The enemy in front rushed to them because there was no musket deterrence and took advantage of the mortar firing interval. A team that has fought hand to hand.

"Thinking about it now, I'm still quite scared. The edge of that thing is quite sharp. If it cuts off my head..."

"To you, I hope his shovel isn't for shoveling manure."

"Hahaha…"

The crowd also repeatedly praised the performance of the artillery on the battlefield. If it weren't for the artillery company's earth-shattering volley that wiped out the entire enemy cavalry team, many people present would have been in trouble. The commander of the artillery company, Wen De, was greeted by other officers one by one. If Paul hadn't strictly prohibited drinking at this time, I'm afraid he would be drunk tonight.

Some people also feel that there are many regrets in this battle, such as Bryce.

"Oh, it's a pity we don't have cavalry! Otherwise, we wouldn't have let those traitors escape."

The officers took it very seriously, not just because they couldn't pursue Angelo and the others: Earl Greiman was too cautious, and the enemy would not let him retreat when he retreated, for fear that the teams would be too far apart and be interspersed by the superior enemy. Surrounded, he was even more afraid that his precious artillery would be quietly touched and killed after losing the cover of the infantry.

If there is a cavalry team, with their high mobility, they can expel the enemy troops that may appear on the flanks or rear in time, and can support the besieged friendly troops in time, so there is no need to be so fearful on the battlefield.

Paul comforted everyone: "Don't worry, everyone. There will be bread, milk, and everything." Looking at the high-spirited crowd, he himself was very excited.

It was already dark at this time. Given that the army had walked for a day and had just gone through a fierce battle, Paul didn't want to make any more fuss. Letting the officers and soldiers rest as soon as possible was the right way. He explained several things: first, do a good job of security to prevent the destruction of the remnant enemies inside and outside Butuya city;

After the crowd dispersed, Paul arranged for people to ride fast horses back to Huxin Town overnight to report the news of the victory to the people who stayed behind, and let Myron Ganard set off for Butuya the next day.

The guards packed a room for Paul to rest. After 10:00 p.m., he lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and the excitement in his heart still couldn't calm down.

The extermination of pirates was just a small test before, and that victory gave him no sense of accomplishment, just a bunch of desperadoes.

But this time Bairding sent troops is his first confrontation with the power of the old world system~www.wuxiahere.com~Although this system is only showing the tip of the iceberg, this victory has given him the power to pry The confidence to move the iceberg and the superiority in technology allow him to stand on the top of the world in a certain sense overlooking all living beings.

Firearms showed great prowess in this battle. According to the descriptions of the officers at the dinner, it was thanks to the tough folk customs of the people in the northwest area and their stubborn minds. However, half of the remaining people can still touch the other party, and they can still muster up the courage to fight the enemy. If it is replaced by people from other places, especially those sissies from wealthy areas, it is estimated that a round The shot made them disperse.

In the future, after I further popularize firearms in the Arda army, each man will have a musket in his hand, and follow the officer's command to shoot out rows of lead bullets in a uniform manner. The cluster refers to where to fight, and the scene is exciting just thinking about it.

It is a man's romance to line up to be shot.

There is also the cavalry unit mentioned by the officers. In this age without Maxim, the cavalry is indispensable anyway. If you don't have cavalry and the opponent has cavalry, you will be too passive tactically.

Of course, it takes money, money, money.

It is necessary to continue to expand the scale of the paper mill and porcelain factory, and he decided not to wait for the opening of the sea route, but to directly use the land trade route, and the sales of new products are not limited to the northwest area, but to expand to the entire kingdom , Expanding to the entire continent.

In the past, he was always afraid of being coveted by the surrounding forces due to rapid development, but at this time, Paul's confidence doubled.

Victory, let him no longer be intimidated.
