Super Chief

Chapter 141: Night attack

   Being on duty in this cold and dark night is a very guilty thing, even if everyone is only on duty for two hours, this kind of work still makes the soldiers on duty scold their mothers in their hearts.

   Especially the hapless ones who were arranged to be on duty in the early hours of the morning, they even wanted to pull up the guys sleeping in the cabin to replace themselves.

   During this period of time before the sun rises, it is not only the coldest and darkest time of the day, but also the most sleepy time. In addition, these soldiers on duty never thought that someone would attack them, so they all wrapped up in thick cotton clothes and slumped in the corner to doze.

   In fact, this group of soldiers has long been complaining about guarding this kind of work at night. Usually when the transport ship sails on the Mississippi River, it will dock and anchor at night. For so many years, I have never heard of that ship being attacked by those natives.

  This kind of armed transport ship is not a small sampan or a canoe used by the indigenous people. Is it true that the artillery placed on the decks on both sides of the ship’s side are paper-sticky?

   It's a joke, if the indigenous tribes who don't have long eyes dare to attack, then they will definitely taste the shells ejected by the 84mm Valerian gun!

   Therefore, there is no need to be on duty at night, especially on such winter nights...

   This is the consensus of the low-level soldiers.

   But no matter how much consensus there is, it's nothing. The commander's order cannot be violated. They can only curse their mother in their hearts.

   A soldier who had just solved the bladder storage suddenly heard a whistling sound in the distance. He was stunned, and then tried to look in that direction, but he couldn't see anything in the dark.

"These **** wild wolves are restless at night. They deserve to starve you to death!" The soldier spit fiercely, and left the ship's side with a low mutter, returning to the corner that could block the wind, intending to take advantage of this. Be confused for a while.

   But not long after the soldier sat down, the voice of Xixisuosuo rang out again, and the voice became louder and louder.

   This made this soldier very hot. He just wanted to get lost for a while, what is this moth doing outside? What kind of beast is so short-eyed, dare to make a living here? Don't you want to become the Chinese food for your brothers tomorrow?

   Although the fire was big, the soldier could no longer sit still. The military order was like a mountain. Since there was such a strange noise outside, he had to look at it.

   The soldier stood up, tightened the cotton clothes tightly wrapped around his body, and put the musket on his back. Then he rubbed his hands and walked out of the corner.

   The soldier walked to the side of the ship, opened his mouth and yawned and looked forward. As a result, the scene before him made him unable to close his open mouth anymore.

I saw a lot of people standing not far from the shore. At first, the soldier thought it was Major Armand bringing the brothers back, but after a few torches were lit, the soldier found out. Those people are not brothers of Okron Fortress, but a group of natives with weapons.

The soldier rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After confirming that a group of natives were standing in front of him, he was about to yell out loudly. As a result, with a sound of "swish", a sharp arrow crossed several times in an instant. At a distance of ten meters, it accurately penetrated the soldier's open mouth, and the sharp arrow even penetrated directly from the back of the soldier's head.

   The soldier’s voice "enemy attack" was so tightly sealed by this arrow.

   The arrow destroyed the soldier's cerebellum and brainstem in an instant. The body of this fairly robust soldier only shook for a moment, and then fell to the ground like a golden mountain and a jade pillar.

The sound of the soldier’s corpse falling to the ground was very loud on this quiet and cold winter night, especially the sound of the musket hitting the deck behind him was even louder, and there were a few noises from the other three ships. Dazed voice-Gabriel, what's wrong with you?

   But before these three sounds fell, a loud sound suddenly rang from the land on the shore-ignition!

   The next moment, a fire dragon lit up on the shore, hundreds of torches were lit one after another, and the figures of hundreds of Indian warriors holding bows and arrows were immediately revealed.

   torches were inserted in the ground beside these Indian warriors, and all warriors held bows in both hands. With only one command, they could shoot arrows in the shortest time.

  The three French soldiers on duty on the other three ships staggered to the side of the ship, and the scene before them made the three of them shouted in unison—the enemy attack...

   Shixiong hugged his arms and looked at the soldiers on the three ships not far in front, but he did not let his soldiers shoot the three soldiers to death.

   The reason why I killed the soldier who wanted to shout just now was mainly because the formation on my side had not been set up, and the tribesmen had not yet fully prepared.

   But when these three soldiers found out, Shi Xiong had led the warriors in the tribe to form a formation and made all the preparations.

One of the three soldiers panicked and took down the musket on his back~lightnovelpub.net~ Unfortunately, this Saint-Etienne rifle is a front-loaded rifle. If he wants to shoot, he has to take it down. The front end of the barrel puts gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel.

   But Shi Xiong would not give him this opportunity. Shi Xiong pointed his finger at the French soldier, and the next moment he had at least ten arrows on his body...

Shi Xiong said loudly in French: "Whoever dares to use a musket, kill! Also, all the people in the cabin should come out. You had better not try to use a musket. Once I find someone using a weapon, the one who will welcome you Rockets in the sky!"

   As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining two French soldiers immediately did not dare to touch the muskets behind them, but honestly raised their hands in a gesture of surrender.

   Then, there was a series of sounds in the cabin. Obviously, the voice of Ishikuma had awakened all the French soldiers sleeping in the cabin.

   "Where is your chief? Please come out and speak!" Shixiong exclaimed, "As long as you don't use weapons, I can guarantee your safety. Also, don't try to resist, you are completely surrounded by us!"

   Ishikuma’s words were repeated three times, and a French officer with the rank of captain came out of the cabin of the middle ship. He was Captain Constantine.

  As a captain, he naturally doesn't have a gun, but he has a short gun, which is a pistol.

Seeing the captain walking out of the cabin, Shi Xiong said loudly: "I don't care who you are, and I don't care what you think. I just tell you, if you dare to make any resistance, you will be At least 20 more arrows! Moreover, there are at least a hundred bows and arrows aimed at your fleet. As long as I give an order, these arrows will immediately turn into rockets to completely ignite your fleet! "
