At this moment, with a bang, the trebuchets in the city started.
Then there was a roaring sound. A large unknown object passed over the horse path on the city wall. A strong wind flew by. When the soldiers looked up, they saw that they were not stones, but individual objects.
of iron barrel.
The regiment training soldiers were used to hearing this sound during the day. It was the trebuchet in the city starting up.
Yan Yingyuan was stunned. It was so dark that he couldn't see outside at all. Only the howling wind and the noisy shouts of the enemy were heard. Can such a blind attack be effective?
But then he thought about it. The enemy was attacking the city in a large scale. 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 shocked.
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 rose up. The entire night sky was instantly lit up. The fireball steamed up, and black smoke rolled out from the inside of the red flame. Red and black kept flipping,
It emitted a huge light, then collapsed and turned into a large sea of burning 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 Beicheng 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 could clearly see the location of the trebuchets, which were less than 150 meters away from the city wall.
He felt ecstatic in his heart, it would be easy to deal with it if he could see it. Tonight Yang Fan sent artillery to the city. There are a hundred general cannons and Franco machine cannons 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. During this hour, he has been passively beaten. Now these incendiary bombs explode and expand into fireballs, and then collapse and continue to burn on the ground. Looking at this raging fire, it will last for a long time.
time.
It was now as bright as day outside the city, and all the Oirat people were nowhere to hide. They could be seen clearly from the city wall. Now that their target had been exposed, the advantage returned to the Beijing camp again.
There are 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 in one fell swoop. They dispatched 50,000 fresh troops. They carried ladders, pushed the remaining building carts, and some siege vehicles rushed up. People on the wasteland
and siege weapons were very dense.
Such a dense crowd suffered heavy losses under the attack of these napalm bombs. Because each napalm bomb exploded, the burning area was extremely large. A 100 kilogram incendiary bomb can ignite an area of 2,000 square meters.
area.
These patches of fire directly blinded the attacking army in the wilderness. They felt that there were fires all over the front, back, left and right, and they seemed to be surrounded by fires.
Many of these people had escaped from Linhe City, and they still had fresh memories of the fire. They were frightened to the point of going crazy. At that time, many people would rather jump over the city wall to escape from the blazing hell.
At this time, after five hundred napalm bombs exploded, the army collapsed. They ran around trying to avoid the flames and the burning people to avoid burning themselves. At first, they tried to rescue these comrades who were set on fire, but
Soon they recognized the reality.
One of these napalm bombs explodes into a large area. This 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 blast of about one thousand degrees Celsius.
High temperature, 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 continue to burn. In addition to gasoline, there are also human body fat 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.
A large number of Oirat people were ignited and turned into human-shaped 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, turning into a burning man running around, howling, and rolling on the ground.
Yang Fan discovered that the Ming Dynasty had a lot of phosphate rock. Simply to increase the power, a large amount of phosphorus was added to the napalm. After adding phosphorus to the napalm, the napalm would penetrate into the skin and continue to burn, thus causing greater damage.
Because after these improvements, after the napalm bomb explodes, the splashed napalm will stick to the human body like lard. 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 due to extreme pain. In this case, napalm will be thrown everywhere, causing secondary damage and igniting people around them.
As Pao Ze, the best way is to use swords to help them end their lives, and at the same time to save their own lives. However, this is the first time they have come into contact with this devil's weapon, and they have no idea how to deal with this situation.
Fortunately, there was strong wind today. Although it expanded the fire and splash range, causing greater damage, it also limited the other major means of destruction of napalm bombs.
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 also cause the victim to become confused and fall into a state of insanity. Once injured by this weapon, severe 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.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! 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 can quickly." the officer yelled loudly.
Before dark today, I just handed out Li's gunpowder jars. 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. They used a fire stick to light the fuse and smashed it down at the enemy who was 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.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang. The gunpowder jar exploded.
Five kilograms of black gunpowder is not a small amount. It is pressed tightly in a tinplate can. Then it is wrapped with iron sand and put into a jar. When it explodes, the flames rush directly to the city wall.
After the team trainers dropped the jar, they immediately retreated, 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, under the illumination of napalm bombs, the battlefield was bright. Dalai Tush and others clearly saw the horror of the battlefield. In addition to the fire everywhere, explosions occurred one after another under the city wall, as if a volcano was erupting.
Ladders, building carts, and people were all blown away. All kinds of broken wood, weapons, limbs, cowhide, etc. flew into the sky.
Ha Lahu Ci was stunned, and He Duo and Qin trembled with their lips trembling, and murmured: "We are defeated, and we are defeated again. Father Khan, you should 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 earth seemed to be shaking. One after another, infantry phalanxes, marching in neat footsteps, marched from the west under the blood-stirring drums.
He rushed directly towards me and appeared on the battlefield illuminated by fire.
