Chapter 421 (1/2)

Fifteen mortars with flowering bullets were fired at the same time. Naturally, the scene was not comparable to that of a single mortar.

Although it's just a test fire, a distance of 1200 meters is nothing to 55 mortars. You should know that in normal training, the distance between one kilometer and two thousand meters is the most.

So, while the sharp whistling of the cannonball still reverberates in the sky, fifteen huge sparks have erupted inside and outside of okron fortress, followed by loud noise and small black mushroom clouds.

Coincidentally, I don't know which gun fired the shell. It just hit the fort of a fortress gun. Even if the fort is so strong and there is a special arch above it to protect the wind and rain, the fortress gun still tumbled down from the fort more than three meters high under the explosion of 400 grams of black powder.

The four or five French soldiers on the fort, who were ready to fire, were also torn apart in the explosion like thatch torn by a hurricane. Then they didn't know where they were blown by the shock wave.

It is estimated that this is the first time that a mortar fire gathering scene appears in the new world of North America in actual combat, so the French who have not seen this scene are stunned by this spectacular scene.

Compared with the earth shaking explosion of hundreds of catapults, the volley of only 15 55 mortars is naturally not so powerful. However, the power of a single 55 mortar is much greater than that of a catapult, and the impact points of 15 mortars are all concentrated in the fortress of okron. Naturally, that kind of scene is another kind of soul stirring!

It may be that the impact points are relatively concentrated, so it is estimated that the smoke generated by the explosion of seven or eight shells fused together to form a huge mushroom cloud.

The black smoke, like the devil's palm, is constantly rising, which adds a kind of fear to this soul stirring explosion. The rising black mushroom cloud is just like the grim smile of death, which makes people shudder.

Because of the barrier of the fortress wall, the stone bear can't see the situation inside the fortress, but the stone bear is sure that after this round of volley, the whole okron fortress will be seriously injured. After all, the Frenchmen in the fortress didn't realize what weapons they were facing before firing.

But it doesn't matter to stone bear. He came here to completely level the fortress.

If the stone bear was salivating for the fortress that occupied the dangerous terrain when he first came to okron fortress, after Baiyun died, he had no feeling for the fortress.

Pulling out this fortress is the biggest goal of the stone bear now!

”In addition to the five 55 mortars aimed at the mountain road outside the fortress, the other ten mortars continued to fire for five rounds!” Stone bear turned his head and said coldly to the messengers around him. There was no emotion in his tone, only a strong murderer.

According to the word, the herald quickly sent out the flag. A few seconds later, ten 55 mortars roared again. The other visible fortress gun on the opposite side didn't even have time to adjust its muzzle.

The firing rate of mortars is considerable. Although the firing speed of this kind of mortar measured by stone bear can't be compared with that of later mortars, if it is shot rapidly in one minute, it can also reach the terrible firing speed of 20 shots in one minute.

However, rapid firing is a big damage to the barrel, so usually the stone bear will not allow rapid firing.

In this era, the average shooting speed of 8 seconds to 10 seconds is enough to flatten all the enemies in front of us.
