Super Chief

Chapter 142: Countdown to 10

   "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Constantine asked, holding back the panic in his heart. Seeing the dense crowds below and the rockets that could ignite at any time, he couldn't help but fight in a two-strand battle, but as the highest commander of this transport fleet, he had to come forward.

   In any case, he would never have thought that Native Americans would dare to attack them.

   The situation in front of him made Constantine very embarrassed, really embarrassed.

   It's not that he didn't want to resist, but the facts before him made him wisely choose dialogue instead of confrontation.

  The four inland river armed transport ships of the fleet are all made of wood. Although the sails on the ships have all fallen down, they are still hung on the masts. Those sails soaked in tung oil are extremely flammable, and a single rocket can ignite a sail.

   The most important thing is that at this time the four ships are all anchored and docked on the shore. If you want to leave the shore, you will have to work for more than ten minutes at least.

   This time is enough for the native Indians holding bows and arrows to launch dozens of attacks.

  If the fleet is in the middle of the river, then Constantine still has the confidence to resist. With the six Valerian cannons on each ship, Constantine is even sure to turn most of these **** Native Indians into corpses.

   But not now. The four wooden boats are now less than 30 meters away from these native Indians. This distance can definitely allow these native Indians to launch attacks calmly.

   "Who are we? Why are we attacking you? Hehe, your problem is ridiculous!" Shi Xiong rode his horse alone and approached the ship, looking up at Constantine and said with a smile.

   Compared to Shi Xiong's calmness and unrestrainedness, although Constantine stands tall, his face is ugly.

   But Shixiong didn't let him wait any longer, he just turned around and beckoned, and then the two fighters escorted Major Armand over.

   When Major Armand walked from the darkness to the torch, the face of Captain Constantine on the deck immediately became even worse than if he hadn't pulled out Baba for a month.

"Damn it, Major Armand, how did you get captured by them? What about your Musketeers? What about the elite Chekasha fighters you call? How could you be defeated by them?" After the initial shock passed, Constantine became a little hysterical.

   Although the rank of Major Armand is higher than Constantine, the two do not belong to the same system. Major Armand is the army and Captain Constantine is the navy, so Constantine does not need to care about Major Armand.

   The captive Major Armand made him realize that the fleet is already in an extremely dangerous situation. Maybe it won't take long before he will become a prisoner just like this **** Major Armand.

So Konstantin continued angrily to Major Armand, "Didn’t you say that this action was a sure thing? Didn’t you say that this attack was like a trip? But look at you, **** it, you have become Captive, it hurts us! Why don't you die on the battlefield? Why are you leading these people here?"

   Major Armand opened his mouth when asked, but did not say anything, he could only shake his head and sighed.

Shi Xiong said loudly to Constantine from the side: "Now there are only two ways to go before you. One is a stubborn resistance, and then you will be sent to heaven by my soldiers with rockets to see God. No. The two ways are for you to surrender obediently. I can guarantee your personal safety. At the same time, I can send someone to deliver letters to you. As long as your chief or family members are willing to hand over the ransom or supplies that meet your worth, then you can live. Leave from here."

As he said, Shi Xiong made another gesture toward the back. The next moment, more than thirty soldiers moved the heads of the arrows on their bows and arrows close to the burning torches, and then the arrow positions of these arrows burned. The raging fire.

These warriors quickly drew their bowstrings, and then more than thirty ignited bows and arrows soared into the air. Under Constantine’s horrified gaze, these rockets passed the masts of the fleet high, and finally landed far away. Extinguished in the river.

"See if we have enough strength to ignite your ship before you load the muskets or those Valerian cannons. The Major Armand also said that there is still a lot in your cabin ready to be sent to Ohio. The supplies of the military fortress on the upper reaches of the river may contain gunpowder. So how long do you think your wooden boat can last under such a rocket?

And what I want to tell you is that this is the depths of the Appalachian Mountains. It is hundreds of miles away from the Mississippi River that you are familiar with. Thousands of our compatriots. We didn't know when you came, so we let you touch here quietly, but now we have found you, so I advise you not to try to escape, because you can't escape at all! "

After a pause, Shi Xiong pointed to the embarrassed Major Armand and said: "I don't know how your fleet was deceived and dispatched by him~lightnovelpub.net~ But I can tell you a little bit this morning. The one hundred musketeers led by the guy and more than two hundred Chekasha fighters have all been wiped out by me. We have not lost a bit of ourselves, and now there are six of this guy's men who can still breathe. This is also because these people ran fast on horses, otherwise even their lives would be lost in that battle. But no matter how fast they ran, they were all captured by us in the end. So, you have to consider you What's the next step."

Major Armand on the side looked up and said: "Constantine, I suggest you surrender, so that you can keep your life. Anyway, I have completely failed. I can only wait for the ransom to come and redeem me. I advise you not to resist, there is no way to resist..."

   "You shut up! Damn it, because of you, I have fallen into this situation." Constantine scolded fiercely.

   Shixiong said leisurely: "You'd better make a decision. I don't want to wait too much in this cold late night! Anyway, you already know the situation before you. How to decide determines the life and death of you and your men."

   "Okay, I don't want to wait any longer, I will give you ten counts, whether to fight or surrender, you choose!"

   said, Shi Xiong stretched out his right hand, and then started a loud countdown with the gesture of his right hand.

   "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

   "If we surrender, can you really guarantee the personal safety of me and my men?"

   Shixiong nodded proudly, but did not answer, but continued to count down: "Six, five, four..."

   Constantine bit his cheek, his face changed several times, and finally sighed helplessly...
