Chapter 142

"Who are you? Why did you attack us? " Constantine asked, stifling his panic. Seeing the dense crowd below and the rockets that can be ignited at any time, he can't help fighting a double battle. However, as the top commander of this transport fleet, he has to come forward.

He would never have thought that native Indians would dare to attack them.

Constantine's situation is very difficult. It's really difficult.

It's not that he doesn't want to resist, but the fact in front of him makes him choose dialogue wisely instead of confrontation.

The four inland river armed transport ships of the fleet were all made of wood. Although all the sails on the ships fell down, they were still hanging on the masts. Those sails soaked in tung oil are extremely flammable. A rocket can light a sail.

The most important thing is that at this time, all the four ships are anchored at the shore. If they want to leave the shore, they have to be busy for at least ten minutes.

That's enough time for those native Indians with bows and arrows to launch dozens of attacks.

If the fleet is in the middle of the river, Constantine still has the confidence to resist. With six Wallace guns on each ship, Constantine is even sure to turn most of these damned native Indians into corpses.

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

"Who are we? Why are we attacking you? Ha ha, what a ridiculous question you are Stone bear rode close to the ship alone, looked up at Constantine and said with a smile.

Compared with stone bear's calm and natural, although Constantine stood high, his face was very ugly.

But the stone bear didn't make him wait any longer. He just turned back and waved. Then the two soldiers escorted major Armand to come.

By the time major Armand came out of the darkness into the range of the torch, Captain Constantine's face on the deck immediately became worse than that of a month without Baba.

"Damn it, major Armand, how could you be captured by them? Where are your Musketeers? What about what you call the elite chekasa warriors? How can you be defeated by them? " After the initial shock, Constantine became a little hysterical.

Although the rank of major Armand was higher than that of Constantine, they did not belong to the same system. Major Armand is the army, and captain Constantine is the Navy, so Constantine doesn't have to care about major Armand.

Major Armand, who was captured in front of him, made him realize that the fleet was in a very dangerous situation. Maybe it won't be long before he became a prisoner like this damned major Armand.

So Constantine continued angrily to major Armand, "don't you think this operation is safe? Don't you think this attack is like a tour? But look at you, damn it, you've become a prisoner and implicated us! Why don't you die on the battlefield? Why are you leading these people here? "

Major Armand opened his mouth when asked, but said nothing. He shook his head and sighed.

Stone bear said to Constantine in a loud voice: "there are only two roads in front of you now. One is to resist, and then you will be sent to heaven by my soldiers with rockets. The second way is 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 officers or family members are willing to hand over ransom or materials that meet your value, you can leave here alive. "

With that, the stone bear made another gesture towards the back. At the next moment, more than 30 soldiers put the heads of the arrows on the bows and arrows close to the burning torches, and then the positions of the arrows ignited.

These soldiers quickly filled the bowstring, and then more than 30 ignited bows and arrows soared into the air. Under Constantine's frightened gaze, these rockets flew high over the mast of the fleet, and finally fell far into the river.

"See, we have enough power to ignite your ships before you load the guns or the Wallace guns. This major Armand also said that there are a lot of materials in your cabin that are ready to be sent to the military fortress on the upper Ohio River. There may be gunpowder in it. 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 deep in the Appalachian Mountains, hundreds of miles away from the Mississippi River that you are familiar with, and you don't want to try to escape here, because there are thousands of our compatriots living around here. We didn't know when you came, so we let you touch here quietly, but now we find you, so I advise you not to try to run away, because you can't run away at all“

After a pause, the stone bear pointed to the embarrassed major Armand and said, "I don't know how your fleet was bewitched by him, but I can tell you one thing. This morning, the 100 riflemen and more than 200 chekasa soldiers led by this guy have been eliminated by me. We have no loss at all, and this guy's men, There are only six left to breathe. This is also because these men are fast on horseback, otherwise even their lives will be lost in that battle. But no matter how fast they ran, they were finally captured by us all. So you have to think about what you're going to do next. "

Major Armand 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 suggest you don't fight. There is no way to fight... "

"Shut up! Damn, it's because of you that I'm in this situation. " Constantine cursed fiercely.

Stone bear leisurely said: "you'd better make a decision, I don't want to wait in this cold night! Anyway, you already know the situation in front of you. How to make a decision will determine the life and death of you and your subordinates. "

"Well, I don't want to wait any longer. I'll give you ten minutes to decide whether to fight or surrender."

Said, the stone bear stretched out his right hand, and then with the gesture of his right hand began to loud countdown.

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

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

Stone bear proudly nodded, but did not answer, but continued to count down: "six, five, four..."

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