Chapter 646 (1/2)
Seven main ships and four cruisers of the Royal French Navy's Guadeloupe fleet sank in two naval battles in two years.
Neither Brigadier General Henry Antoine the summer before last nor major general Julian Luc this year thought that the outcome of provoking the aboriginal tribe would be like this.
It's estimated that they both had such an idea in their minds at the beginning. How powerful could an aboriginal tribe with few war horses, guns, bows, arrows, stone knives and other cold ice be?
As a result, Antoine, the first to have this idea, buried his three main ships in the Elizabethan river. Although major general Luc knew that this aboriginal tribe might have some powerful guns, he never thought that the guns in this aboriginal tribe had such great power, such a long range and such a fast speed
As a result, two royal French Navy generals, together with seven main ships and four cruisers, disappeared forever on both sides of Chesapeake Bay.
For such a result, the stone bear is naturally no surprise.
Taking Yanhuang tribe's leading advantage in military industry and using artillery with performance close to the level of World War I to attack European powers in this era is almost equivalent to a fully armed special forces fighting an unarmed three-year-old
Well, to paraphrase an old Chinese saying, it can almost sum up this situation - anti aircraft bombardment of mosquitoes.
The fact is that the Yanhuang tribe may not be as strong as some European powers in terms of comprehensive strength, but its leading edge in military industry is absolutely unmatched by any European country at present.
It is no exaggeration to say that at present, even if all the European powers join hands to attack the Yanhuang tribe in the new continent of North America, they can easily defeat the Allied forces of the European powers with 100000 troops of the fierce bear army and the current military industrial strength of the Yanhuang tribe.
This is not the stone bear's conceit. The Yanhuang tribe has the advantage of favorable weather, favorable location and harmonious people when fighting in their native land. What about the European powers? Not only do they have to cross the Atlantic for an expedition, but the most important thing is, how can you soldiers with millet and rifles fight with cannons? Not to mention that the muskets used by European powers in this era are not millet plus rifles.
Even the Hanyang made muskets in the hands of the people's Liberation Army in those days were more powerful than any other muskets of this era
Therefore, the sea battle broke out suddenly at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. Although it was short, it was extremely fierce. The final result was not unexpected and ended with the victory of Yanhuang tribe.
In this era, the main ship of the Royal French navy, which can be rated as the best in the world, could not even hit the territory of the Yanhuang tribe with a single shell, so it was sunk by 70 coastal artillery of the second battalion of the coastal artillery regiment.
”Rolling” is not enough to describe this highly asymmetric naval battle. If you have to describe this naval battle, it's almost like an adult accidentally killed a mosquito
For the Yanhuang tribe, the only role of this naval battle is to let the soldiers of the second battalion of the coastal artillery regiment get the training of actual combat, and the victory of this naval battle also greatly enhanced the morale and confidence of the stormy bear army.
As for other aspects, it's better to have nothing. Even strictly speaking, Yanhuang tribe suffered some losses.
