Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 32: Militia Battalion

On the street leading from the noble district to the city, the sound of gunfire was continuous, and the rebels kept being shot and fell. The pungent yellow-black smoke screen filled the entire street, and was quickly blown away by the light wind, standing on their street. The hunters on the other end methodically loaded, aimed, and fired their rifles, and although the opposite side kept firing at them, they failed to make them pay any casualties.

The rebels didn't just get beaten passively. They soon discovered the gap between the weapons of the two sides. The worker commando soldiers shouted to remind their comrades around them. They then put down their rifles, and under the command of the worker commando squad leader, they attacked the enemy. Front trot forward, trying to get into range before the enemy inflicts more casualties on them.

However, not everyone is a well-trained British lobster soldier. Under the huge psychological pressure of the enemy's shooting, they ran forward for a certain distance from the panic of being shot by their comrades, and then they dared not continue to go. At this moment, they saw the enemy on the opposite side suddenly spread out to both sides, exposing the line of infantry lined up behind them to their sight.

In the next second, the line infantry marched forward amid the fiery bugles and rhythmic drum beats. They walked in neat steps. The sound of footsteps and drum beats seemed to be hitting the hearts of the rebel soldiers, making them follow suit. It trembled.

As a result, the armed citizens turned around and fled, leaving the worker commandos behind, and the soldiers of the worker commandos had no intention of fighting when their comrades escaped. They only hesitated for a few seconds before joining the armed citizens. Escape team.

Seeing the figure of the enemy fleeing, Charlie did not order the pursuit, but let the soldiers break open the doors on both sides of the street, drive out the male citizens hiding inside, and recruit them into the newly formed militia battalion through coercion and inducement.

After Charlie's order, the soldiers followed his order without hesitation, scattered from the line, rushed to the houses on both sides of the street, forcibly broke the closed doors and rushed in. After they entered, the houses The screams of the citizens rang out, and it didn't take long for the male citizens to be kicked out of their homes under the coercion of the soldiers and gathered on the streets where the smoke of gunpowder had not yet completely dissipated.

They looked at the expressionless soldiers around them in fear. The pungent gunpowder still in the air made some of them look uncomfortable. Their families wanted to come out and pull their husbands, sons, and fathers back. But he was savagely driven back by the soldiers and closed the broken door.

It didn't take long for the streets to be occupied by densely packed male civilians. They watched the soldiers point their guns at their black holes, and no one dared to act rashly.

Charlie on horseback looked at the male citizens who were driven out. They ranged in age. The youngest looked to be in their teens, and the oldest was full of white hair. Although he didn't want to admit it, he could. It seems that he has really been a bit unscrupulous to achieve his goals - if it was him before, he would never force innocent civilians to join the army and become cannon fodder.

Charlie shook his head and threw the extra feelings out of his head. He urged the warhorse to pass through the human wall formed by the soldiers, glanced down at the civilians, and said loudly:

"The rebels and thugs occupied the city of Ankerton and besieged His Majesty the King in the Sona Palace. As His Majesty's people, no one can stay out of it. From now on, you are the first garrison of the Wangli Military Academy. My soldiers, I will distribute weapons to you, for the sake of His Majesty the King, every time you kill a rebel, you can get ten silver coins as a reward!"

As soon as they heard that they had money to take it, the resistance in the eyes of the citizens suddenly became much less. No one would have a hard time with money, even if they were citizens living in the capital, they would not refuse silver coins.

Of course, what's more important is that they are very clear in their hearts that they have no right to refuse at all. Looking at the guns aimed at them, no one will doubt that if they dare to give an answer of refusal, the next second will be from that black hole. The buckshot that took their lives was fired from the muzzle of the gun.

Therefore, no matter whether they are really willing to join or not, in the end, they can only join the first garrison that they have never heard of, and become the subordinate of the riding officer in front of them.

Seeing that the citizens did not show any objection, Charlie waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed in and divided them into a company of 120 people. Some of them were also added to the two militia companies recruited yesterday—these two There are only 91 people in the company, but because Charlie spent the money of a full company, there is no extra cost for replenishment now.

In less than five minutes, the soldiers finally completed the grouping of all of them. There were 446 civilians who were forcibly recruited. After replenishing the first and second militia companies, they formed three groups. In the end, there were 28 people left. Charlie did not let go of these 28 people. He recruited another company to convert them into militiamen. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com will catch new strong men and fill them in later.

After some operations, these citizens were converted into militiamen and incorporated into the newly formed militia battalion. There were 628 of them. They were uniformly equipped with the captured rifles, and at the same time they got the detachable bayonet distributed to them by Charlie. Individuals are allocated a round of ammunition, and they only need to shoot a salvo at the enemy, and then they can go directly to the charge!

After taking the rifles and gunpowder left by the previously killed enemy, Charlie ordered the army to move on, and at the same time, the news of their departure had been carried by the deserters to the troops behind, and passed into Sandy's ears. .

After evacuating from the noble district, he was sent here to guard against the enemy army that ran from the south of the city to the north of the city. Although Santos said that his focus was all on the siege of Sona Palace, he still sent him to lead the team here. To guard against that enemy army, Santos handed over a thousand soldiers to his command. These people included the soldiers of the original Second Brigade and the worker commandos, and the armed citizens were not counted among them.

After arriving here, he ordered to set up simple roadblocks on the street to hinder the enemy's attack. However, before the roadblocks were set up, he learned the news of the enemy's attack from the people who had escaped.

"Everyone is ready for battle, the king's lackey is back!"

He shouted loudly, then picked up the flintlock pistol on the table, and took the guards out into the street. The soldiers walked out of the house after being ordered to stand in line before him, although there was no command from the noble officer, The soldiers of the former Second Brigade in military uniform were still able to maintain discipline, and the queues they listed were unmatched by the workers' commandos and armed citizens.

"It's a pity that there are no artillery pieces, otherwise everything would be easier." Looking at the soldiers lined up in front of him, he thought regretfully.
