Chapter 638 (1/2)
In Luc's eyes, the Brittany's investigation and exploration were effective.
The Brittany, which is only four kilometers away from point Henry, can clearly see what is floating in the sky. Although the captain of the Brittany does not know what it is, a big guy floating in the air does not seem to pose any threat to the fleet.
Because since seeing the big guy clearly, it seems to be motionless in the air. It should be fixed by ropes or something.
The most important thing is that the large caliber mortar gun at the stern of the Brittany fired four rounds in a row. Although the shells fell into the sea far away from the coastline, didn't the opposite shore defense gun fire?
When the captain of the Brittany asked the signalman to tell the flagship what he had seen through the flag, Julian Luc made a judgment immediately.
The thing floating in the air should be a kind of sentinel like existence. Although Luc could not understand how these native Indians made such a big group fly, since the big guy couldn't move in the air, there was no threat to the fleet.
As for that aboriginal tribe's shore defense guns did not fire, that is more clear.
This aboriginal tribe may really have a kind of powerful artillery, but as I judged, the range of this kind of artillery is very close, and it should be a kind of Fortress gun similar to the large caliber mortar gun.
Thinking of this, Luc could not help complaining to himself about Henry Antoine.
You say you are a senior naval general with rich experience in naval warfare. How can you lead your fleet into the inland river?
The warship in your hand is a sailing battleship sailing on the sea, not an inland river armed transport ship sailing on the inland river.
If it were in the sea, the powerful guns of that aboriginal tribe would not be able to hit their warships.
Alas, it's a pity that the three warships
Since we haven't found anything suspicious, let's do it directly!
As a result, the flag was issued by the flagship glory, and the eight Royal French Navy sailing battleships formed a row and stormed the mouth of Chesapeake Bay.
In Julian Luc's plan, he first destroyed the stationary coastal guns at a long distance, then rushed into the Bay, continued to destroy the remaining coastal guns, and finally came close to fire.
It's near noon, and if it's going well, it's an hour or two to destroy those coastal guns, then end the shelling on the aboriginal tribe before night, and lead the fleet out of Chesapeake Bay when night falls.
This kind of sailing battleship across the ocean is best to sail on the sea, which is the safest
But Julian Luc never knew that at this time, standing on the top of a coastal artillery fortress, the water dog was looking at his eight warships with a telescope, listening to the signal soldiers nearby constantly reporting the distance between the fleet and the coastal artillery.
Julian Luc's fleet has no escape with the hot air balloon.
