From the left side of the column the entire forest opened up in fire and smoke, six pound cannons pouring grapeshot into the Loyalist ranks. |
Other projectiles developed for special purposes included the carcass, canister, grapeshot, chain shot, and bar shot. |
The latter succeeded, but the main attack failed as Jackson's artillery fired grapeshot and canister shot into the advancing British line. |
Leading from the front, as he stepped ashore and in the act of drawing his sword, grapeshot shattered his right elbow. |
When they got to within 200 metres the French troops opened fire, reinforced by grapeshot from the two artillery pieces that had been dragged across the Sahara. |
The Mahratta artillery opened fire at close range with grapeshot and chainshot, doing terrible execution. |
