Chapter 344

The last group of elite soldiers of the Keri nationality once again proved a cruel fact with their blood and flesh, that is, there is an almost insurmountable gap between cold weapons and hot weapons.

If the expeditionary army only possesses the extremely backward hot weapons such as muskets, then the Crees may be able to fill the natural gap between the hot weapons and the cold weapons by virtue of the number of people.

But when the expeditionary army had the catapult, which could be regarded as a highly effective thermal weapon even in World War II two hundred years later, the natural moat could not be filled by the number of people.

Chief kolmak, as well as the ordinary people in the rear, witnessed how a massacre and a rout took place. Chief kolmak finally understood why his most capable men and best friends failed more than a month ago.

More than 10000 Kerry men, with the determination to burn their boats, rushed to attack the positions of the expeditionary army. At the beginning, even chief kolmak wanted to ride on his horse and follow the men of the tribe to charge and kill the Cherokees. In his opinion, it would be strange if the more than 2000 Cherokees on the opposite side could resist so many people charging with such momentum.

If chief kolmak knew that there was a term called "iron torrent" in the European battlefield during World War II, he would not hesitate to apply it to these men who are now charging.

The only remaining fighting capacity of the more than 10000 Crees is to fight against the positions of the expeditionary army with such momentum, like a flood.

"These soldiers are better than those organized by the Crees before. They are very powerful." Even if the roar across the sky makes Jorah krulu have to speak to the stone bear, the stone bear and Jorah krulu, who are riding in the front of the expeditionary army, are still talking and laughing.

The stone bear sighed and said in a loud voice, "in fact, if I didn't have to conquer this tribe, I would rather not kill these Crees. These are all excellent soldiers. It's a pity to die here... "

"Who said no? But guardian, our brothers have been busy for such a long time. Chieftain junaruska is also in our rear, waiting for the news of our complete conquest of the Crees. Our brothers also need the final victory to get their due glory. So, guardian, order the attack

Stone Bear looked at the Kerry people who had already charged into the 500 meters. His eyes flashed with a look of impatience. He hesitated a little, and finally took a deep breath. His eyes became firm again.

It is the so-called "a general's success withers all bones" and "the crown of victory is made of the enemy's blood and flesh". Shi Xiong knows the truth of these words, and he also knows that this is not the time for his own compassion.

He raised his right hand, watched the position and distance of the Cree, and then yelled, "Musketeers, keep shooting, shoot freely. Guerrillas should pay attention to protecting their own formation. Five hundred meters in front of the grenadiers, six meters apart, three volleys

With the command of Shi Xiong and his heavy right hand waving, just a few seconds later, a series of dull and low explosions were heard in the rear of the expeditionary army. It was the sound of the black powder used as propellant detonated at the bottom of the barrel of the catapult.

At the next moment, 170 black spots rose into the sky, and the scream after scream broke through the sky, falling 500 meters ahead at a speed close to the speed of sound.

This time, the Kerry had no wooden shield soldiers, so when they charged, the formation was relatively open, and the width of the front charge was close to one kilometer. But it still can't resist the terrible power of the barrel.

The shrapnel loaded with 200 grams of black powder and a handful of iron sand has a lethal radius of more than six meters. Although the horizontal distance between the 170 launchers is only six meters, it is enough to completely cover the width of the Kerry charge formation.

The shrill whistling of the grenade in the air did not stop the Kerry from charging. Although these men were looking up while running, it still could not stop the arrival of death.

The first round of grenades with the scream of death flew in the air for more than two seconds, then plunged into the middle of the Kerry team.

Chief kolmak, who was watching the battle from afar, felt a kind of inexplicable heartache in his heart. Then, he saw a row of brilliant fireworks burst out in the middle of his team.

Of course, chief kolmak did not know what fireworks were, but he knew that the brilliant light with a loud noise in front of him was undoubtedly a cruel color of death.

These Kerry soldiers, who were urgently summoned by the Kerry royal court, had no personal contact with the grenade before. They just knew from all kinds of rumors that the Cherokees had a terrible weapon. As for how terrible this weapon was, they did not know before.

Now, at last, they have realized the horror that their compatriots had experienced before.

After the impact fuze of the grenade detonates the black powder loaded in the warhead, the power of 200 grams of black powder in the closed warhead is unparalleled in this era.

The loud noise made all the Kerry people within a radius of more than ten meters around the explosion point lose their hearing in an instant, and the fragments of the grenade and the insidious iron sand installed in the warhead will sweep out at supersonic speed.

Almost at the moment of the explosion, all the Kerry soldiers within a radius of seven or eight meters around the explosion point fell to the ground, more than two-thirds of them lost their lives in an instant, and the rest were seriously injured.

This was the result of only one grenade, and the expeditionary army launched 170 grenades in the first round of volley, covering all the width of the Kerry formation. So, when these 170 grenades exploded at the same time, a bloody blank area with a length of more than one kilometer and a width of nearly 20 meters was created in the charge formation of the Kerry people!

This kind of scene has been seen by all the soldiers of the expeditionary army, but the problem is that no matter chief kolmak or those Kerry soldiers have seen it.

So, almost as like as two peas in the last battle, the expeditionary force even had time to play second rounds of grenades. These Kerrey fighters who had just tried to protect the king's court collapsed directly.

And chief kolmak finally realized what had happened to his best friend, bighorn sheep.

"My good friend, I misunderstood you! How can such a Cherokee defeat... "

Chief kolmak bowed his head and sighed
