Super Chief

If someone else says this, either Fogg or Jackson must jump up and spit on that guy’s face.

　　 Well, the metaphor of the specific image is

　　 But unfortunately, in front of them is a Cherokee general who holds a lot of power, and the horror of the Cherokee army was seen by them the day before yesterday.

After 　　 Bay mouth was blocked by a long sampan, Fogg and Jackson came to Fisherman's Island, and they both frowned.

　　 Although the little sampan fell apart as soon as it hits, they really didn't have the guts to do such a thing. One is that the above order has not been conveyed, and the other is that they dare not touch the neighbor's tiger ass.

　　 As a result, the day before yesterday, an armed merchant ship that had driven thousands of miles from the British mainland came to the mouth of the bay. A Cherokee armed inland river transport ship greeted him immediately.

　　 Neither Fogg nor Jackson knew how the captain of the armed merchant ship had talked with the Cherokee, but the subsequent actions of the armed merchant ship directly proved that the talks fell apart.

It is estimated that the captain was used to domineering in the country or other ports in the colony, so after a short stay, his ship rushed towards the blockade line five kilometers away, and the Cherokee ship The human inland waterway immediately moved away from the armed merchant ship...

　　 Obviously, the captain intends to forcefully break through the barrier. In his eyes, it was a joke to use that small sampan that was indistinguishable from an ant to seal off a huge bay. His merchant ship has a displacement of more than a thousand tons and can be crushed directly.

　　 What everyone didn't expect was that the Cherokee would fight as soon as they said, and there was no room for relaxation.

　　 Standing on Fisherman’s Island, Fogg and Jackson could clearly see the ten inland armed transport ships patrolling at the mouth of the bay. This kind of small boat with a displacement of only one hundred and ten tons is usually used for transportation in the inland river, but the sea conditions in the Chesapeake Bay are very good. After all, this is a bay, and the sea conditions are much better than the open sea, so this inland river armed transport ship It's okay to sail in the bay.

Fogg and Jackson witnessed the fire of an inland armed transport ship closest to them, but they did not see the artillery on that ship. They only saw the fire flashing several times, and then they heard a lot. The faint sound of fire was much smaller than the sound of artillery fire.

　　 Then, Fogg and Jackson both showed incredible expressions. Because it was near the merchant ship four kilometers away, five or six huge waves of spray immediately burst out.

　　 Obviously, although the artillery on the inland river armed transport ship is very small, its range can reach four kilometers away. This is unbelievable!

If the Cherokee were using that kind of large artillery, they could understand it at such a long distance. After all, although they had not seen the naval battle last summer, the French warship was far from the coastline. It is an indisputable fact that he was sunk at a distance of five or six kilometers.

　　 But they didn't even see the shadow of the artillery through the telescope, but their artillery went so far. One of the shells was nearly hit by the armed merchant ship...

　　 The facts are right in front of them, they are incredible and must believe the facts in front of them.

　　 Obviously, the Cherokee not only possessed a powerful fort cannon with a very long range, but also equipped with a small artillery with a small size but a range of more than four kilometers on board.

　　 This kind of artillery should be a kind of artillery similar to the enlarged version of the grenadier, and the range and power of this artillery are far greater than the grenadier.

　　 Ever since the Spaniards got the technology of bullet-throwing barrels, this thing has become the army's field weapon, whether it is the army or the navy, they are equipped with this kind of weapon with an effective range of six hundred yards.

　　 But the guys from the Ordnance Bureau disliked the power of the grenadier, so they developed a grenadier with a larger caliber.

After adding more propellant, I thought that this large-caliber grenadier could hit farther, but in the end it was discovered that this new type of large-caliber grenadier was compared with the old small-caliber grenades. There are no advantages.

　　 Although this large-caliber grenadier is much more powerful, its range is not even as good as that of the old-fashioned small-caliber grenades.

　　 Later, the guys from the Ordnance Bureau said it was caused by the propellant. If this large-caliber grenadier can use Cherokee’s new propellant, the range will increase a lot.

　　 Speaking of the fact that the guys from the Ordnance Bureau knew that the Cherokee must have a new type of propellant, we must start with a tragedy.

　　Because the Cherokees have been selling grenades, the guys from the Ordnance Bureau took apart the grenade sold by the Cherokees and planned to use the new type of gunpowder filled in the grenade as the propellant.

　　 As a result, the gun was directly exploded during the test. Not only the large-caliber grenadier was blown to pieces, but the people from several ordnance bureaus surrounding the large-caliber grenadier were also killed.

　　 The Ordnance Bureau, which does not believe in evil, was not frightened, but continued to test the artillery. But even if they reduce the charge, the final result is still a bombing.

　　 In the end, the people from the Ordnance Bureau had to admit that the Cherokee not only possessed this new type of gunpowder, but also a new type of propellant, otherwise the Cherokee’s artillery would not be able to hit that far.

　　 But unfortunately, the formula of Cherokee’s new propellant is absolutely confidential, and no one can obtain the formula of that propellant.

　　 Therefore, regardless of whether it is the British, the Spanish, the French, or even the Continental Army, although they have many small-caliber grenadiers, they can only use black powder as propellant, and the effective range is only more than 600 yards.

　　 Now Fogg and Jackson have witnessed the range and power of this artillery, UU reading www.uukanshu. com and the two immediately thought of the modified grenadier that had been making a lot of noise in the past few years, but in the end they didn't get rid of it.

　　 The Cherokee obviously possessed a light artillery with a small size but great range and power.

　　 Afterwards, Fogg and Jackson witnessed the terrifying effective range of this light artillery, and immediately witnessed the terrifying rate of fire and power of this light artillery.

The rapid rate of fire of this light artillery made the two people feel scalp numb, almost five or six seconds apart, the fire was again lit up on the inland river armed transport ship, when the shells flew over four kilometers with a sharp whistling sound. After a long distance, two of the shells accurately hit the armed merchant ship.

　　 Fogg and Jackson could hear the huge explosion even if it was four or five kilometers away. This huge explosion directly proved the terrifying power of the shells fired by this light artillery.

　　 Five or six seconds later, there was another salvo, and more shells landed on the deck of the armed merchant ship.

　　 It didn't take long for the large armed merchant ship with a displacement of more than one thousand tons to ignite a raging fire, and the sailors on the ship jumped into the sea like dumplings to escape. In the end, the armed merchant ship burned only a piece of wreckage floating on the sea under the watchful eyes of Fogg and Jackson...

　　 Killed an armed merchant ship so cleanly, it frightened Fogg and Jackson.

　　Of course they don’t know, this is the first time the 76 mortars of the Yanhuang tribe have been used in actual naval combat...
