Super Chief

Fifteen mortars that used flash bombs were set to fire at the same time. Naturally, the scene was not comparable to a single mortar.

Although it was only a test shot, the distance of 1,200 meters is really nothing for a 55 mortar. We must know that in the usual training of this group of sighters, the distance between one kilometer and two kilometers is the most trained.

Therefore, when the scream of shells piercing the air was still reverberating in the sky, fifteen huge sparks had erupted from the inside and outside of Okron Fortress, followed by loud noises and small black mushroom clouds.

Coincidentally, I don’t know which cannon fired a cannonball that happened to hit the turret of a fortress gun, even if the turret on which the fortress gun was placed is so strong, there are special shelters above it. The arches of the existence existed, but under the eruption of a full four hundred grams of black powder, the fortress gun still tumbled and fell from the fortress more than three meters high.

The four or five French soldiers on the turret who were going to fire the guns were also in the explosion like thatch torn by a hurricane, their bodies split in an instant, and then they didn't know where they were blown by the shock wave.

It is estimated that this is the first time a mortar fire scene has appeared in the New World in North America in actual combat. Therefore, the French who have not seen such a scene are stunned by the spectacular scene in front of them.

Compared with the earth-shattering explosion of hundreds of volleys of bullets, the volley of only fifteen 55 mortars is naturally not that powerful. But the power of a single 55 mortar is much greater than that of a grenadier, and the impact points of the fifteen mortars are concentrated in the Okron Fortress. The scene is naturally another kind of thrilling. !

It may be that the impact points are relatively concentrated, so it is estimated that the thick smoke produced by the explosion of seven or eight shells has merged together, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

The thick black smoke is like the palm of a devil, constantly tossing and rising, adding a kind of fear to this thrilling explosion. The rising black mushroom cloud is like the grinning smile of the **** of death, which makes people shudder.

Because of the blocking of the fortress wall, Stone Bear could not see the situation inside the fortress, but Stone Bear was sure that after this round of salvos passed, the entire Alcron Fortress must have suffered heavy casualties. After all, the French in the fortress didn't realize what weapon they were about to face before the gun was fired.

But this doesn't matter to Shi Xiong anymore, his purpose of coming here is to completely wipe out this fortress.

If Stone Bear first came to Okron Fortress, he still coveted this fortress that occupies a dangerous terrain, but after Baiyun's death, he had no feeling for this fortress anymore.

Unplugging this fortress is Shi Xiong's biggest goal now!

"Except for the five 55 mortars aimed at the mountain road outside the fortress, the other ten mortars continue to gather fire for five rounds!" Shi Xiong turned his head and said coldly to the messenger beside him, without any emotion in his tone. Only a strong murderous intent.

Chuanbing Bing Yiyan quickly issued a semaphore, and a few seconds later, ten 55 mortars roared again. The other fortress cannon that was faintly visible on the opposite side was too late to even adjust the muzzle.

The rate of fire of the mortar is impressive. Although the 55 mortar produced by Ishigumaru can not compare with the fire rate of later mortars, if it fires quickly in one minute, it can also achieve a terrifying rate of fire of twenty rounds per minute.

However, rapid firing will cause greater damage to the barrel, so under normal circumstances, Shixiong will not allow rapid firing.

In this era, the average shooting speed of eight to ten seconds is enough to flatten all enemies in front of him.

Now these ten mortars are basically fired at a rate of one shot every ten seconds. Almost a minute later, the original awe-inspiring Okron fortress 1200 meters away has completely lost its prestige. .

The walls of Okron Fortress are very thick, about one meter thick, and they are all built with huge rock blocks. This is something that Stone Bear has seen when he first went to this fortress.

For such a thick wall, the power of a mortar cannot be completely blown up, but such a thick wall also limits the possibility of escape for those French in the fortress.

Anyway, when a full fifty mortar shells fell into the fortress, the entire fortress was filled with thick smoke and raging fires.

Although the city wall did not explode, the fortress cannon on the city wall was completely misfired. It is estimated that in the salvo just now, the French soldiers who were going to control the fortress cannon were killed.

Fifty mortar shells, that is a full charge of ten kilograms of black powder, plus the fragments of the shells and the iron sand filled inside, exploded concentratedly in a fortress with a diameter of less than 100 meters. The interior of this fortress is estimated to have become Hell.

Anyway, from the beginning of the first round of the volley to the end of the sixth round, no one in the entire Okron Fortress ran out, even on the other two sides of the fortress, no one was seen ran out.

Stone Bear knows the situation inside Okron Fortress. Regardless of its majestic appearance, this fortress is actually quite awkward. In the entire fortress, except for the City Lord’s Mansion, which was built with stone, most of the other houses were built with wooden planks, and there were even many broken tents.

Under the intensity of the fire, even the City Lord's Mansion could not be resisted, let alone the wooden houses and tents.

This situation made Shi Xiong nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the messenger beside him: "Blow the horn and let the Musketeers keep two hundred people to continue to monitor the swamps in the south and west, and the others march towards the fortress along the river bank."

After a pause, Shi Xiong said to the second messenger: "Let the mortar squad continue to prepare for shooting, and the others are ready to cross the river!"

With these two orders ~www.readwn.com~ the soldiers of the first regiment of the Burst Bear Brigade became busy immediately.

Regardless of whether it is a grenadier or a musketeer, in addition to training their respective items in daily training, they also need to receive other training skills, such as engineering skills, simple rescue skills...

These are all skills that allow a fighter to survive on the battlefield as much as possible.

The logistics soldiers quickly **** the raft they brought with ropes, and many soldiers began to cut down trees. Since we want to cross the river, we must have enough rafts.

When some of the musketeers who set up the ambush ring in the swamp area across the river arrived at the fortress along the river bank, the stone bear had already crossed the Tennessee River with the tied raft.

By this time, the fire in the fortress had even begun to go out, but still no one escaped from the fortress.

Stone Bear can already say with certainty that there is no longer a living person in this Oclon Fortress!
