When Ye Zheng decided to use the American Steel Rain rocket launcher to bomb the city towers of Jinzhou, he led his troops to retreat. After all, the lethality and destructive power of the M270 self-propelled rocket launcher produced by the United States was really terrifying. .
Normally, a rocket launched by the M270 can easily damage any target within a diameter of 200 meters. In other words, one of its high-explosive shells can destroy all enemies exposed in an open space within 200 square meters by the terrifying explosion power. Being blasted away, there was no possibility of survival.
If it were a little closer to the point of impact, it would become bloody fragments, and probably not even a decent body would be found. Tests have proven that the explosive power of an M270 self-propelled rocket launcher is equivalent to ten rounds 155mm howitzer, so the huge destructive power of this M270 self-propelled rocket launcher is evident.
This is the power of a high-explosive rocket. The M270 self-propelled rocket launcher produced with this aesthetic is a multi-tube launcher. The entire launch system has twelve launch tubes, which means that it can launch ten launch tubes at the same time. If two high-explosive rockets or twelve high-explosive rockets are launched at the attack target at the same time, then the entire square kilometer affected by the bombing attack will be completely devastated by its powerful destructive power. Exploded into rubble.
As long as it is a place bombed by it, the fortifications and buildings there have basically lost their defensive function.
Because the bombardment power of the M270 self-propelled rocket launcher was too terrifying, Ye Zheng had to evacuate all his troops from the city and evacuate the troops as far away from the target as possible. If it was too close, he would be afraid of an oversight and those The flying stones and shrapnel will kill the troops in your own camp.
Therefore, Ye Zheng conservatively estimated that he would have to retreat these more than 10,000 troops five miles away from the city tower to ensure the safety of his brothers.
At this time, Bai Muchou and the Taoist priests from the Tianshi Sect were standing on the city tower, looking at the army of ruthless bandits under the city, retreating like a tide. They were stunned for a moment, wondering what the hell these ruthless bandits were. What the hell are you doing?
At this time, a captain in charge of city defense came to Bai Muchou, bowed respectfully, and said: "City Lord, now those desolate bandits have begun to retreat, should we send troops to pursue them? Now It's a great time to pursue them. Those desolate bandits have been poisoned by the smoke of the San Gang Wolf, and their combat effectiveness has dropped rapidly. If we go out of the city to pursue them now, they will suffer heavy damage."
Bai Muchou pondered for a moment, glanced at him, and asked, "Don't worry about the pursuit for now. Of the 30,000 regular troops we sent out to stop them, how many of them have escaped back into the city now?"
The captain said sadly: "Less than three thousand troops fled back to the city, and the rest were all killed by the firearms of the desolate bandits."
Hearing this, the Taoist priest standing next to him had a flash of shock on his face, and said in a voiceless voice: "I have long heard that the weapons of the desolate bandits are so powerful, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful. A total of 30,000 regular troops were actually killed like this. More than 10,000 bandits were killed and the whole army was wiped out. It seems that the bandit leader Ye Zheng is really not simple. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to this bandit leader and insists that we capture him alive at all costs."
Bai Muchou said with a gloomy face: "What happened to those dozens of shocking thunders just now at the foot of Wuwang Slope?"
After listening to his inquiry, the captain looked stern and said: "The soldiers who escaped back said that they didn't know what it was, but they only saw flaming meteors falling from the sky, and then, Thunders were everywhere, causing countless casualties, and the five Hundred Battles Flying Leopard Hegang Formation were all destroyed by those weird thunders. Under the bombardment of those thunders, at least nearly 10,000 of the 30,000 regular troops were killed or injured. Although they The description is not very clear, but my subordinates guess that those thunders should be firearms thrown by the desolate bandits. If...if those thunders are firearms, then their firearms must be too powerful."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Bai Muchou's eyes. He slowly raised his eyes to look at the retreating bandit army, and whispered to himself: "When hundreds of cavalrymen from the Xiaoqi camp escaped last night, they also What I told you was that they were in the wildfire plain below the air outlet. They had just assembled their formation and were preparing to charge and kill the camp of the desolate bandits. However, before they could reach the front, they were attacked by one after another falling from the sky. The damage from the bombardment caused by the thunder was heavy. It can be seen that these thunders falling from the sky are probably the secret weapons of the desolate bandits. Therefore, when facing them this time, it is better not to act rashly before thoroughly understanding the details of the enemy. It’s good to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
When the captain heard what Bai Muchou said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that, City Lord, we are just going to let them run rampant in the city?"
Bai Muchou glanced at him coldly and said, "If not, so what. I originally asked Situ Jichan to set up a mist array to trap them inside, and then lead them to the river to kill them. He shot and killed him, but they discovered it unexpectedly and escaped easily. I have to say, this Ye Zheng is quite weird."
After listening to what he said, the Taoist priest Situ looked at the army of ruthless bandits that were retreating away. He sighed leisurely and said: "It's better now. We have set up a fog array, and they won't be fooled. The ballistae and trebuchets are... The distance is too far to hit them, so we have to let them retreat for the time being."
At this point, he paused and said doubtfully: "Do you think this group of desolate bandits is strange? Since they are here to attack Jinzhou City, why don't they even carry the most basic siege equipment? You know Jinzhou City is one of the three major fortresses in the northwest. The city wall is five feet high, the city defense force is more than 50,000, and there are countless various city defense equipment. If you look at these desolate bandits, basically all of them are just They carried weapons and nothing else, including zip lines, ladders, and siege vehicles for climbing the city. The most puzzling thing was that they didn't even have a huge wooden hammer to hit the city gate. If you want to attack Jinzhou City like this, you are risking your own death."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned and thought what he said was very reasonable. However, everyone felt very strange. They didn't know what was strange.
At this time, the captain pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Sir, do you think these desolate bandits want to use those thunderous firearms to attack our tower?"
When Bai Muchou heard this, his expression changed and he fell into deep contemplation.
