Super Chief

Chapter 419: Indestructible or paper?

What Shixiong hates most is not the Chekasas. The soul comes from him more than two hundred years later. In fact, his hatred for the Chekasas is not so great. Most of his hatred for the Chekasas comes from The memory of the owner before this body.

As his soul took over this body for more and more time, the memory that was originally a silly head has been completely integrated into his own memory, so Shi Xiong can now look at this hatred very lightly.

Not to mention that Baiyun and Green Skylark were Chekasas before, so Stone Bear’s hatred for Chekasas is not as deep as it seems on the surface.

On the contrary, Shixiong is really hateful for the French now.

Although Bai Yun died in the hands of Yu Chi, if it were not for the French to provoke him, he would not dare to cross the Great Smoky Mountain and attack the Xiaohe tribe if he killed Yu Chi. So, the real culprits are those damned French!

Don't look at Stone Bear now and Green Skylark have formed a family, and Stone Bear will be a father in a few months. But Shixiong is really a very emotional person. And such people often hold grudges!

Bai Yun still has Lei Ying's hatred, how could Shi Xiong forget it?

Therefore, during the Western Expedition, when the first French settlement was encountered before, Stone Xiong would let the mad cow directly flatten that settlement.

Now it's time to divide the troops again. Naturally, the Stone Bear has to go to the Okron Fortress in the north, unplug this Frenchman's most important military fortress on the Ohio River, and at the same time use the location of the Okron Fortress to completely cut off the Mi River transportation route!

As for whether the defense of Alcron Fortress can be broken, Stone Bear has never doubted this!

First of all, the stone bear has been to the fortress of Okron. In that cold winter two years ago, Major Chretien Armand, the Supreme Commander of the French Army stationed in the Fortress of Au Kron, moved his eyes and got in touch with the Retic tribe, the second largest tribe of the Chekasha tribe. A hundred French musketeers and two hundred Doretic tribe fighters, under the leadership of Major Armand and the leader of the Retic tribe, Whistle Snake, rode four inland armed transport ships upstream along the Tennessee River, Going to sneak attack on the Gaoshu tribe.

Originally, the actions of these guys went smoothly, but what they didn’t know was that there was a guy in the Gaoshu tribe whose soul came from more than two hundred years later. The most important thing is that this guy also taught the soldiers of the Gaoshu tribe how to Tame the bison.

Originally tamed bison was for farming, but unexpectedly, these tamed bison became the biggest killer!

These three hundred French-Chekasa coalition forces were trampled on by dozens of bisons burning on their buttocks, and the remaining French were also caught by stone bears.

Because the Major Armand did not die under the hooves of the cow, this gave Stone Bear the opportunity to deceive and blackmail the French.

Later, Shi Xiong took these Frenchmen and took four armed inland river transport ships seized from the French to the Okron Fortress. Not only did they defrauded a large amount of food, cloth and other materials from this fortress, but also By the way, I figured out the defense situation of this fortress.

In fact, the location chosen by the French is really good. This fortress is located on a hill of thirty to forty meters to the west of the confluence of the Tennessee River and the Ohio River. With a flat land all around, this fortress It can be said to be condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Moreover, to the north of this fortress is the wide Ohio River, and to the east is the Tennessee River that merges with the Cumberland River. These two big rivers are like two natural moats, protecting the north and east of the fortress.

Not to mention the Ohio River in the north, the width of the river here is more than two kilometers. Although the Tennessee River to the east is not as wide as the Ohio River, it is more than 500 meters wide.

In this era when the effective range of artillery is generally only a few hundred meters, if an enemy wants to attack from these two directions, it is almost impossible.

On the west and south of the hill where the fortress is located, there are large swamps. There are only one or two paths explored with human lives in the swamp, and only a few people can enter and leave at the same time. This also eliminates the possibility of large-scale enemy forces attacking from these two directions.

It is worthy of being a military fortress carefully built by the French. This kind of terrain alone is enough to ensure that this fortress is foolproof in this era.

The defense of the fortress itself is also very good.

The fortress was built on the top of this small hill almost forty meters high. The area of ​​the fortress is small, only about ten acres of land. It is circular and about 100 meters in diameter.

The wall of the fortress is not too high, only over three meters high, but the wall is very thick. The most important thing is that on the four special fortresses built on the walls of the fortress, there are four 24-pound fortress guns!

Although this fortress cannon cannot fire blooming shells, this 24-pound fortress cannon has a maximum range of nearly three kilometers. Although the projectiles fired are not much larger than a big apple, and the effective range is only a few hundred meters. , But if this shell is hit, even a battleship sailing on the sea can make a hole.

As for the small armed transport ship that can only sail in the inland river, if it is hit by four such artillery shells at the same time, there will be only one result of destruction!

These four fortress cannons are scattered on the north and east walls. Because there are marshes to the south and west, if the enemy wants to attack, they can only attack from the river. Therefore, the four most powerful fortress cannons are Specially protect the river.

In addition ~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition to these four fortress cannons, there are more than a dozen small-caliber infantry cannons on the fortress wall. At least the last time the stone bear entered the Okron fortress, more than a dozen were seen. A 4-pounder and a 6-pounder.

Although the four Valerian fortress guns on the wall, the diameter of the projectiles fired by them is only a circle larger than that of a big apple, and the cannonballs activated with black powder are far inferior in power. Compared with the 20mm machine guns with the smallest caliber in later generations, in this era, this fortress gun plus the "artillery group" composed of those small caliber guns is enough to make most of the enemies intimidated.

Generally speaking, the defense of this fortress is very good. The excellent terrain plus the thick walls, there are so many artillery on the walls, and the musketeers who are all soldiers inside. In this era, this kind of defense is enough to easily resist the attack of thousands of people.

But Shixiong is going to move this fortress this time!

If it is someone else, after seeing the almost indestructible defense of Okron Fortress, it is estimated that they will turn around very neatly and leave. Even Shi Xiong two years ago would have such thoughts. But after the development of the 55 mortar, the defense of Okron Fortress looked almost like paper in the eyes of Stone Bear...
