Super Chief

Chapter 648: Blinded

Although Shi Xiong did not show much excitement about this one-sided naval battle, the various effects caused by this naval battle spread quickly.

  

   First of all, the morale and confidence of the soldiers who won this naval battle has been greatly improved. The most important thing is that the victory of this naval battle allowed all the Grim Bear soldiers to truly realize that the weapons in their hands were so powerful.

  

   As early as more than ten years ago, they had never had a heat weapon at all. At that time, they were very envious of the muskets in the hands of Vasichu. But now, this situation is directly reversed. The muskets of Vasichu, who looked extremely powerful in the eyes of the soldiers, are now far behind the muskets in their hands. As for the artillery, it even occupies the advantage of crushing.

  

   With this huge weapon gap, if you confront those Vasichus in the future, it will definitely be a crushing battle. It's like the battle of the Grim Bear Army against other tribes when the Yanhuang tribe was unified.

  

   That is basically a grown-up strong man bullying a three or four-year-old child...

  

   And all these were brought by the great chieftain, the son of God.

  

   Without the great chieftain of the son of God, the Yanhuang tribe could not be unified at all, and the warriors would still have primitive bows and spears in their hands.

  

   Ishikuma's prestige has once again increased.

  

  Secondly, the results of this naval battle quickly spread among the British. Although the British thought it would not be difficult to deal with the eight French warships, it had to be in naval battles and the number of British warships could do so.

  

   But if eight warships bombard a port fortress, it would be almost impossible to defeat this fleet by relying on the fortress guns in the fortress.

  

   But the Rockies did it! Moreover, the terrifying power, rate of fire and range of the Cherokee artillery in that naval battle was simply unbelievable. If it hadn't been for the four observers who had witnessed the naval battle with their own eyes, no one would believe that such a powerful artillery existed in this world.

  

   Compared with Cherokee artillery, those large and heavy fortress guns and naval guns are no different from fire sticks!

  

   This is definitely a matter of thinking and fear...

  

   Although not many people have witnessed the naval battle with their own eyes, the news quickly spread from the British to the outside world. Although the Continental Army and the British Army are fighting lively, the exchanges between the civilians and the people continue. After all, whether it is American or British, they used to be a family, a real family.

  

   Therefore, the Continental Army quickly learned about the naval battle. And because of the misinformation, when the Continental Army got the news of the naval battle, the Cherokee artillery had been exaggerated.

  

  For example, Cherokee artillery can hit dozens of kilometers. The power of the artillery shells is incredible. As long as a three-tier sail battleship hits a shell, it will be blown to pieces immediately...

  

   Therefore, when the Continental Army got the news, they were all taken aback by surprise.

  

They couldn’t help but believe this, because just two years ago in the summer, one of their guerrillas also witnessed the battle in the Elizabeth River with their own eyes. The French’s three battleships took place in just a few minutes. Inside was sunk, and the second-class sailing battleship Royal Dauphin was blown to pieces by a single shot...

  

   The Continental Army certainly did not know that the Royal Dove was destroyed by the bombing of ammunition, but it is an indisputable fact that a second-tier capital ship was destroyed by a single shot. With the news of this naval battle, the Continental Army immediately did not want to be afraid of the Cherokees.

  

   They dared to wander around Norfolk before they had nothing to do, but since the news came out, the Continental Army guerrillas have never been seen around Norfolk.

  

  The Continental Army is not a fool. Who wants to face such a powerful artillery? The most important thing is that it is obviously not a good choice to offend the Cherokee at this time. In case these natives help the British, the war can be declared over immediately.

  

   The Continental Army learned of the news, and soon the Spanish also learned. At this time, the Spaniards had not yet torn their faces with the British, and the relationship with the Continental Army was good, so it is not surprising that the Spaniards knew the news.

  

The most unlucky is the French. The French have long had no troops stationed in the North American New World. Even if there are some French descendants staying in the North American New World, in this era where there is no radio, no mobile phones, and no overseas telephones, they must want to It would take at least two months for this news to pass back to the French mainland.

  

   The worst part is that France has now declared war on Britain. The two countries are now enemies. Merchant ships returning to Europe from the New World in North America will never call at French ports. Therefore, it is more difficult to pass this news back to the French mainland.

  

   The Continental Army also wanted to tell the French about this news, but they were the same as those of French descent, and it was difficult to do so.

  

   As for the British and Spaniards, naturally they would not tell the French. Even though the Spaniards are now trying to ally with the French to deal with the British, this new type of weapon that can change the situation of a war is related to the future destiny of a country.

  

   The news about this kind of artillery, the later the French know about it, the better.

  

   So ~lightnovelpub.net~ the French were so blinded, and the British and Spaniards immediately sent envoys to prepare for talks with the senior officials of the Yanhuang tribe. Their purpose was to get this artillery as soon as possible.

  

The French were naturally Felisa Fernando, an old acquaintance of the Stone Bear, and the British originally wanted to send General Henry Clinton over. As a result, Henry Clinton is now besieging Charleston in South Carolina. He Although I met Shi Xiong before, and that meeting was considered a very happy meeting, but General Colinton really didn't have time.

  

The Battle of the Chesapeake Bay took place in March, and Henry Clinton, who was promoted to lieutenant general last year, has not succeeded William Howe as the commander-in-chief of the British Army in North America, but he is now leading his army. It was a lively fight with the Continental Army in New Jersey.

  

   In the original historical time and space, although William Howe took down Philadelphia, the situation in New Jersey was not very favorable for Britain. Under the orders of William Howe, Lieutenant General Henry Clinton led the army in New Jersey and the Continental Army.

  

  As an important assistant to William Howe, Henry Clinton obviously has no time to go north now. The situation in New Jersey alone made him fighting, so after discussions, the British army sent Brigadier General John Burgoyne stationed in Albany.
