At this moment, with a bang, the trebuchet in the city started.
Then there was a roaring sound. A large, unknown object passed over the horse path on the city wall. The strong wind flew by, and the soldiers looked up and saw that they were not stones, but iron barrels.
The regiment training soldiers were used to hearing this sound during the day. This is when the trebuchet in the city started.
Yan Yingyuan was stunned. It was such a dark sky that he couldn't see outside at all. Only the howling wind and the noisy shouts of the enemy were heard. Can blind typing like this be effective?
But then he thought about it. The enemy was attacking the city in a big way. Although he couldn't see it, there must be a huge crowd of people below like during the day. He could probably hit a few.
However, he was soon stunned.
About three hundred meters away, a fireball exploded with a bang. The fireball was so big that he was stunned.
An orange-red fireball and black smoke billowed up. The entire night sky was instantly illuminated. The fireball steamed up, and in the red flame, black smoke billowed out from the inside. The red and black kept flipping, emitting great light, and then collapsed. It turned into a large burning sea of fire.
Immediately afterwards, fireballs rose one after another within a range of as far as 500 meters and as close as 50 meters.
The entire plain outside the North City was illuminated with red light like mushrooms growing after rain.
All the attacking Oirat people had nowhere to hide and were exposed to the fire.
Yan Yingyuan looked around and saw densely packed enemies on the wasteland, pushing various siege weapons, swarming like ants. He clearly saw where the trebuchets were. The city walls are less than 150 meters away.
There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, it would be easier to handle if he could see it. Tonight Yang Fan sent artillery to the city. There are one hundred general cannons and Franco machine guns on the city. This distance can be hit very accurately.
"Give me the order, let the artillery fire, and focus on hitting those trebuchets."
Yan Yingyuan endured it for an hour. At this moment, he has been passively being beaten. Now these incendiary bombs explode and expand into fireballs, then collapse and remain burning on the ground. Looking at this raging fire, it will burn for a long time in ancient and modern times.
It was now as bright as day outside the city, and all the Oirat people were nowhere to hide. It can be seen clearly from the city wall. Now that they have exposed their target, the advantage has returned to the Jingying side again.
There were more people under the city than during the day.
Because, this time, they planned to take advantage of the darkness to capture the northern city wall. Fifty thousand fresh troops were dispatched. They carried ladders, pushed the remaining building carts, and some siege engines and rushed up. The wasteland is very densely populated with people and siege weapons.
Such a dense crowd suffered heavy losses under the attack of these napalm bombs. Because when each napalm bomb explodes, the burning area is extremely large. A 100kg incendiary bomb can ignite an area of 2,000 square meters.
These patches of fire directly blinded the attacking army in the wasteland. They felt that there were fires all around them, and they seemed to be surrounded by fires.
Many of these people had escaped from Linhe City, and they still remembered the fire. They were frightened almost crazy. At that time, many people would rather jump off the city wall to escape from the flaming hell.
At this point, after five hundred napalm bombs exploded behind them, the army collapsed. They were running around trying to avoid the flames and the burning people. So as not to burn yourself. At first they tried to save their colleagues who were set on fire, but soon they realized the reality.
One of these napalm bombs will explode into a large area. This kind of bomb can produce high-temperature flames when it explodes. It contains a gel made of gasoline and other chemicals. When it explodes, it sputters around, emitting a high temperature of about one thousand degrees Celsius, and can stick to other objects and burn for a long time.
Once the fire is stuck, it will not be easily extinguished. It will keep burning. In addition to gasoline, there are also body fats and clothing. It will not be extinguished until all combustibles are burned out.
Many people were burned and shrunk into small balls, turning into coke-like shapes, which was very terrifying.
big
A batch of Oirat people were ignited and turned into human torches running around.
Some were just splashed and fought desperately, but the more they were hit, the more intense the flames became, and soon the whole person was engulfed. Become a burning man running around, howling, and rolling on the ground.
Yang Fan discovered that there were many phosphate rocks in Daming. Simply to increase the power, a large amount of phosphorus was added to the napalm bomb. Adding phosphorus to napalm allows the napalm to penetrate the skin and continue to burn, causing more damage.
Because of these improvements, after the napalm bomb explodes, the splashed napalm will stick to the human body like lard paste. If you slap it with your hands or roll on the spot, the fire will not go out, but will get bigger and bigger.
All people burned by napalm will struggle desperately because of the excruciating pain. In this case, napalm is thrown everywhere, causing secondary damage. Ignite those around you.
As Pao Ze, the best way is to use a sword to help them end their lives, and at the same time to save his own life. However, this was their first time coming into contact with this devil's weapon, and they had no idea how to deal with this situation.
Fortunately, there was strong wind today, although it expanded the fire and the splash range, causing greater damage. However, it also limits the other major means of destruction of napalm.
That is death by suffocation. This terrifying weapon burns violently in the air, rapidly consuming oxygen in the nearby air and producing a large amount of nitric oxide, causing suffocation.
In addition to burns and suffocation, napalm can cause the victim to become confused and enter a state of psychosis. Once injured by this weapon, serious and painful death will occur.
Even if there is no death at the time, severe sequelae will be left due to burns on large areas of the skin.
The regiment training soldiers on the city wall clearly saw the tragedy below, and each of them turned pale with fear and trembled all over.
"What are you doing standing still? Throw down the gunpowder pot quickly." The officer yelled loudly.
Before dark today, Li's gunpowder jars were just handed out. Each weighs ten kilograms, and contains five kilograms of black gunpowder and three kilograms of iron sand. Just light the fuse and throw it down.
The soldiers immediately grabbed the gunpowder jar that had been placed under the crenellation wall. Use a fire stick to light the fuse and smash it down at the enemy climbing the city.
Because it weighs ten kilograms, it can be used as a rolling stone.
The heavy jar smashed down, causing the person on the ladder to fall off the ladder.
Then, there was a loud bang. The jar of gunpowder exploded.
Five pounds of black powder is not a small amount. Pressed tightly in the tinplate can. Then wrap it with iron sand and put it in a jar. This explosion caused the flames to rush directly to the city wall.
After the team trainers dropped the jar, they immediately shrank back, squatted on the ground with their toes, covered their ears with their hands, and opened their mouths. to withstand the impact of the explosion.
In the wasteland, the battlefield was illuminated by napalm bombs. ***Tush and others clearly saw the tragedy of the battlefield. In addition to the fire all over the sea, explosions occurred one after another under the city wall, as if a volcano was erupting.
Ladders, building trucks, and people were all blown away. All kinds of broken wood, weapons, limbs, cowhide, etc. were scattered all over the sky.
Ha Lahu Ci was dumbfounded, and He Duo and Qin's lips trembled as they murmured: "We are defeated, yet we are defeated again. Father Khan, we'd better withdraw the people first."
At this time, Gushi Khan, who had been silent, said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to withdraw."
At this time, the sound of earth-shaking drums came from the darkness in the distance. The ground seemed to be shaking. One after another, infantry phalanxes, marching in neat steps, charged directly from the west under the blood-throbbing drumbeats. Appearing on a battlefield lit by fire.
