There are really many eunuchs who led troops in Chinese history, such as Tong Guan in the Song Dynasty and Zheng He, the three treasure eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. As for the eunuchs who served as supervisors of the army, there are too many to mention.
As Cixi's most favored eunuch, Andehai naturally wanted to be on par with his predecessors. If he had the qualifications to lead troops to win a battle once, he would have been honored in this life.
The excited Anderhai ordered the entire army to charge on the spot, regardless of the formation tactics. The horses and soldiers rushed over the new army's formation in a black mass. The leader of the cavalry wave was Mailer who wanted to atone for his sins. .
If there were tens of thousands of people, boundless, and coupled with the charge of three thousand horses, the momentum would be like the sky falling apart. The earth began to tremble violently, and the shouts of people and horses were like the cries of ghosts.
The young men in the new army were frightened. They had seen a decisive battle of this scale. Some of them even peed their pants during the two-pronged battle.
At this time, we can see the combat effectiveness of the new army, especially the soldiers who have experienced the test of the European battlefield. Their eyes are firm and their hands holding weapons are steady.
"What are you afraid of? We have survived the big battle with millions of people, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"All mercenaries, listen up. All you have to do is listen to our commands. After a while, our veterans will lead you out and throw away the grenades. Even if you have completed your mission, we won't stop you even if you turn around and run away... …”
"Don't be afraid, folks, we paid you to throw the grenades... you can run away after throwing the grenades..."
The new army was shouting, and the Enyang crowd was trying to persuade them. In the end, even Xiao Letian shouted, "Why are you crying? I will double the reward and I will never let you suffer... There is a blue sky above your head, I want to blackmail you." If you have to pay for your life, I will be struck by thunder."
Not to mention, the ancient people took the oath. Encouraged by the heavy money, those young men also burst out with a bit of ruthlessness. Since they chose the road of sacrifice, they would finish him even on their knees.
Mailer, who was charging, was already crazy. With his nose and face swollen, he knew that this was his last chance. If he lost this time, the court would never bypass him.
"Charge, charge... drive the horses into each other, tear their formations apart, and kill Xiao Letian..." His face was already ferocious and he was now completely berserk.
And the Huai army blocking three sides went crazy. At this moment, they were no longer afraid of the threat of snipers. They jumped out of the ditch and dense forest one by one, stood in the rain, waving their weapons and roaring.
As for Ande Hai and Li Hongzhang, who were standing at the back of the battlefield, they were drunk now. They were already immersed in the atmosphere of the upcoming victory and could not extricate themselves.
Li Hongzhang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, no matter how fierce the firepower of the four rapid-fire guns is, they can't tear through such a heavy attacking crowd, especially if those war horses rush into the formation, we will win..."
Ande Hai also laughed, "What did the Zajia say? To fight a war, you still need more people. Then Xiao Letian brought more than a thousand guns and asked him to fire as hard as he could, no matter how many people he could kill. This is called the unjust and the few." Help, hahaha..."
The charging military formation was getting closer and closer. Heavy rain and mud restricted the speed of the cavalry. Now this group of cavalry could not even reach one-third of their usual speed, and all this was in Xiao Letian's eyes.
"Haha, the cavalry has no speed, and they are just a bunch of living targets. I, Xiao Letian, bear the blame for today's massacre. You forced me to do it... let the new army take action."
Xiao Letian gave the order, and countless veterans in the battle formation began to order in unison, "Follow me and rush out... Don't be afraid, follow my orders. Let's leave after throwing the grenades... Don't be afraid, you can survive if you follow orders..."
"Kill." The young men with ferocious faces may have gone crazy for once in their lives. Encouraged by the heavy reward, they followed the footsteps of the veterans and rushed towards the group of cavalry.
One hundred meters, seventy meters, fifty meters. When the charging crowd rushed to a distance of forty meters, the young men's legs were so frightened that their legs were weak. At this time, the veterans in the team shouted, "Throw it out, explode it." Kill them..."
The long fuse rope was pulled off, and white smoke from the fuse came out from the base of the grenade. Qing Zhuangmen used all his strength to throw out the 'fat guys' one by one, above the head of the wave of cavalry. Bursting and blooming.
Bang bang bang... There was a muffled sound on the battlefield. This was not the loud explosion of a real grenade, but a burst of silent explosions, including the sound of shattering glass.
"What is this, what the hell is this..." Countless people asked subconsciously, because they discovered that the explosion above their heads did not produce shock waves and fragments, but instead splashed countless turbid liquids with the rain.
"Ah." Suddenly a cavalryman screamed, and then the horse under his crotch also screamed and leaned up, overturning the cavalryman and the surrounding warhorses.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the cavalryman was actually burning with orange flames. The flames could not be extinguished even by heavy rain.
"Ah... kill me, it hurts..." The struggling soldier on the ground was trampled to death by the horse's hooves without shouting a few words, but the strange flames on his body did not go out, and could even burn on the water.
Before the soldiers could react, more grenades exploded in mid-air, and countless terrifying turbid liquids mixed with rain poured onto people's bodies. It would burn immediately if it came into contact with skin and flesh.
Five hundred young men threw five hundred 'Fat Man' grenades at one time. After throwing them, the veteran yelled, "Retreat to our formation and use them sparingly..." But there are always reckless people who will throw away the last grenade with a flick of their hands. The drawstring was pulled open, and the fat bomb exploded right in his hand. The dozen or so young men around him were all splashed with turbid liquid.
"Get away from them... This kind of flame cannot be extinguished... Get away..." The veterans retreated with the young men, leaving the dozen or so young men with burning bodies lying miserably on the battlefield. call.
The skin and flesh were scorched by the flames, revealing the bright red flesh and blood inside, and finally burned out the bones. The screams suddenly resounded through the sky. The young and strong villagers in the team knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, but all the new troops controlled them, life and death. Don't let them save him.
"Stop, everyone, stop. Not even the heavy rain can extinguish Fatty's flames. Whoever gets involved will die...remember they have already paid for their lives."
At this time, the cavalry wave on the opposite side had been overwhelmed by this strange fire. Five hundred Fat Man grenades exploded in mid-air. The turbid liquid covered nearly two-thirds of the team. The fire was already burning in the military formation. Several Unknown cavalry and war horses were engulfed in flames, and the screams were earth-shattering.
"Ah, help me...it hurts...someone help me..."
"Give me a knife, young and old men, give me a knife... let me die happily, please give me a knife..."
"What is this, God, what on earth is this..."
Now the cavalry wave could not be gathered together. The pained horses were running around, and the Gatlings and snipers of the new army also opened fire, knocking down all the fish that had slipped through the net on the battlefield.
Once the cavalry wave collapsed, the infantry behind them were even more dumbfounded. Who of those Eight Banners disciples dared to break into this sea of fire? They all stood there in fear, their eyes as round as eggs.
"Oh my god, is this a sky fire? Damn it, Xiao Letian can control the sky fire..." Everyone collapsed, because none of them had ever seen a sky fire that could not be extinguished by heavy rain. This is simply not something that human beings can fight against. arms.
Xiao Letian's eyes were red. He suppressed the nausea in his heart and whispered, "Have I become a devil? How could I bring this kind of weapon into the world? I have really changed."
White phosphorus bombs are a very terrifying chemical weapon that Xiao Letian brought to the 19th century. His production method is very simple, but also very dangerous. He pours a turbid liquid of white phosphorus and water into an ordinary wine bottle and uses wood to make it. Stopper and wax seal tightly.
White phosphorus is a very flammable and highly toxic dangerous substance that can ignite at just 40 degrees Celsius. Moreover, white phosphorus can burn on water, just like oil, it cannot be extinguished by water.
White phosphorus is placed inside a wine bottle. Since it cannot remove air, it can be stored at room temperature. Then a thin iron shell is put on the outside of the wine bottle. A layer of granular gunpowder is mixed between the wine bottle and the iron sheet.
When the grenade's flint device is ignited, the delayed fuse ignites the layer of black powder. The slight explosion can shatter the glass bottle and throw out the turbid liquid of white phosphorus and water.
As long as white phosphorus encounters oxygen, and the burning of gunpowder brings enough temperature, this liquid will adhere to everything and start burning violently, and the flame temperature can reach a terrifying one thousand degrees Celsius.
This is the principle of Fat Man. The simplest chemical weapon not only causes damage by burning, but the smoke emitted by the burning of white phosphorus is even more toxic. It is strange that the war horses are not surprised when they smell this poisonous gas with the smell of garlic.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, the Israelis used this weapon when they attacked Gaza. The U.S. military also used this weapon in the two Gulf Wars. Of course, what they used was an upgraded version and Xiao Letian's was the original model.
Regardless of whether it is primitive or not, the effect is amazing, especially against the armies of the Middle Ages. A flame that cannot be extinguished by rain can only make people think of heavenly fire, and superstitious thoughts instantly occupy everyone's hearts.
Mailer was lucky enough to escape the white phosphorus fire, but the last bit of fighting spirit in his heart was burned to ashes by the sudden fire. He looked at the sea of fire and hell behind him, and then looked at the New Army positions with long guns and short cannons in front of him. , he knew that his last moment had arrived.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, why has no one accepted this monster Xiao Letian? What happened to us in the Qing Dynasty... Kill." Mailer clenched his saber and rushed towards the formation of the new army.
"Cowards, you are all cowards... Who dares to fight me... Fight me in an upright manner... I won't accept it, I am skilled in bow and horse, and I am Batulu, the warrior of the Qing Dynasty."
Bang... After a melodious gunshot, Ye Qiu glanced at him contemptuously, and then loaded his Mauser. "What about Batulu? I am a sniper of the New Army. One bullet can kill an enemy. Who knows?" I'm still playing with knives with you, what a fool..." This book was first published from, be the first to read the authentic content!
