Zhang Wudian did not expect that the efficiency of this kind of rocket launch would be so high. Five thousand rockets were fired in less than two quarters of an hour. Until now the Mongols are still confused. They had no idea what was going on.
At this time, the city was already in flames.
The climate here is dry and fires are prone to fire. Under the incendiary agents such as aluminum powder and white phosphorus added to the rocket, it burned into a sea of fire. Some napalm warheads exerted extremely terrifying power.
Just a little bit of it will turn your whole person into a torch.
You can see from the boat that the Mongolians in the city are anxious. These grains are prepared for winter. They were not sure that they could capture Jiuyuan City before the weather got cold. In wars, we worry about defeat before we win.
Mongolia, the desert that spans Central Asia, is well versed in the principles of war.
Except for the Mongolians who were killed, wounded, and burned to death in the city, others were beating them with branches and various instruments in an attempt to extinguish the fire. After all, these grains were all laboriously and time-consumingly collected from the Western Regions.
Unfortunately, these incendiary bombs are made of special materials. The more I beat him, the more intense the burning became.
Especially napalm. Because of the splash, the splashed liquid particles were ignited wherever they landed. After a few blows, the fire-extinguishing tool started burning fiercely. The fire fighters were so frightened that they quickly threw away their tools and ran away.
Some people tried to get water from the well, but after a bucket of water was poured on it, the fire not only did not go out, but also burned explosively. Swallow those around him into the flames.
Heduo Heqin (Batur Hutaiji) suddenly talked about the door curtain and rushed into his father's tent. I saw Hala Huqi still walking back and forth at a loss.
The subordinates who kept coming in to report brought him countless bad news. He didn't know what to do at this time.
"Father, we must leave the city immediately. The fire is out of control. If the wind blows any later, the whole city will be on fire. By then, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
Heduo and Qin are the eldest sons of Hara Huci, the leader of Junggar. In the years to come, he was the first Khan of Junggar. At this time he was already in his thirties.
His date of birth is unknown, but he died in 1653. According to historical data, in the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616), he separated from his father and settled on both sides of the Irtysh River. With his own tribe and territory.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Hara suddenly died, and he inherited the power of Junggar. At the same time, he was awarded the title "Erdeni Batur Huitai Ji" by Lama Da Lai. Rules the Junggar tribe.
[In view of the general environment,
Seeing his old father, he was still hesitating. After all, there is so much food, grass and horse feed here, so it’s a bit reluctant to just give up and leave.
Seeing this, Heduo and Qin knew they could no longer hesitate. With a wave of his hand, his men swarmed up to him, picked up the old man and left.
By this time, the wind had begun to blow. The city was filled with smoke and flames. The group of people quickly ran towards the south gate. The streets were packed with people running away. At this time, everyone gave up putting out the fire.
They were all burnt like this, and strong winds were blowing. Save your ass.
He Duo and Qin directly drew out their scimitars and slashed them all the way. The ruthless style of the Junggar people was immediately evident. The guards of Heduo and Qin didn't waste any time seeing this, and immediately picked up their long swords and slashed hard.
There were screams in front, and many people from the Heshuote Department were chopped down to the ground. While fighting and killing these people, they usually stepped on the corpses.
The flames on the eaves next to him were blown over by the wind, and the tongues of flames burned off Hala's beard. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"God of Immortality, what kind of evil fire is this released by the devil?" The old man trembled and murmured a prayer.
Fighting all the way, the Junggar people relied on brutality and force to finally squeeze out of the city gate.
After they ran out, many of their clothes were on fire. They immediately rolled on the spot, their leather armor and robes burning. It cannot be extinguished without rolling.
More than half of the more than 30,000 people in the city were burned to death.
Those who were left alive poured out of the three city gates like crazy.
There are also many people who cannot get out of the city gates and jump directly from the city walls. Fortunately, the city wall is only six or seven meters high. They stabbed the knives into the rammed earth to provide a buffer, but they still wouldn't fall too badly.
As the wind picked up. The smell of barbecued meat wafted over.
Zhang Fengyi couldn't help but vomited while scratching the side of the boat. Huo's face also turned pale.
Uncle Dingyuan was very cruel in his wars, and there have been rumors circulating for a long time. I really saw it today.
Zhang Wudian's face looked as usual. The old man didn't think there was anything wrong with Uncle Dingyuan.
Compassion does not command troops. To be kind to the enemy on the battlefield is to be cruel to the officers and soldiers under your command.
Donglin's group has been secretly spreading rumors to smear Uncle Dingyuan. He is said to have a heart of stone, cruel and easy to kill. Zhang Wudian disagreed with this.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru didn't think there was anything wrong with Yang Fan's behavior.
In their opinion, this is what a man should look like. He is a real man. Those who oppose the Yang family should be killed.
Yang Fan watched as the entire Linhe City burned into a mountain of flames. As far as the eye can see, within the city walls, there are burning flames and billowing black smoke. The screams of people and animals being burned were very miserable. He also had some facial expressions.
"Mr. Zhang, look at what happened. I didn't expect these incendiary bombs to be so powerful. This is the first time they were used on a large scale, and I didn't expect that the whole city was set on fire. Now everyone is burned, it's really a bit of a trick. It’s peaceful.”
Napalm bombs are so cruel and terrifying. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't get a true feeling just by reading the written materials.
Zhang Wudian stroked his beard and snorted coldly: "Humph! When these Wala people used long swords to kill our Ming Dynasty capital camp in Tumubao, they didn't show the slightest mercy. Today Dingyuan Bo burned and killed them, and they also You can’t blame anyone else.”
At this time, although the rockets had been fired, the smoke trails were still in the air. Even a fool looks up at the sky and knows where these rockets come from.
The seven or eight thousand desert Mongolian warriors who had escaped from the city looked at the long boat moored in the center of the Yellow River with grief and anger. He let out a hoarse roar.
They show off their power in the Western Regions, north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and in Central Asia.
They have always been the only ones who bully others, rob others, and take other people's wives, daughters, cattle and sheep. There was such bullying. While they were sleeping, they set fire to their city and burned it to the ground.
At this time, it was no longer possible to go into the city to put out the fire. We could only wait for the fire to burn everything that could be burned and then extinguish itself.
They were no longer prepared to put out the fire, nor were they ready to save the wounded. It's like burning a bird. The black ones probably wouldn't come back, so they simply chopped off their heads with a knife to end their suffering.
They were so angry that they were trembling all over, gnashing their teeth, and they found the matchlock guns and camel cannon from the camp outside the city. Push the big and small Folan cannons over.
The cavalrymen rushed up on foot holding the infantry's large bows.
Along the river, they started shooting at the damn boat.
Seeing that the Junggar people were going crazy, people from the other three tribes were also coming. Vulcan guns, lead bullets, and bows and arrows flew over. Yang Fan decided that it would be safer to go inside the ship.
"Mr. Zhang, let's go back to the cab. The cab is surrounded by steel plates, which is safer." Yang Fan quickly took Zhang Wudi and his family back to the cab.
As they entered, a group of soldiers rushed out.
They carried ammunition boxes and climbed onto the six-barreled 30mm Gatling gun rotating platform on both sides of the platform. Heavy machine guns and cannons used by the navy generally have a rotating platform made of steel plates. There are also ballistic shields. There are seats for the shooter and ammunition hand.
It can drive the platform to rotate and control the pitch shooting angle of the cannon.
As soon as Yang Fan and his group entered the cab and closed the door, several withered feather arrows hit the glass.
The porthole glass of these ships is installed with bulletproof glass transferred from modern times. The initial velocity of the bow and arrow was so low that it bounced away without even leaving a white spot.
Just then, the Gatling gun fired.
