Niel swallowed a gulp of saliva, and the hoarse voice of suppressed emotions sounded in the room again.[
"The act of shooting the rescuers angered everyone, and other search teams organized several charges before moving closer, trying to rescue the injured companions. But the opponent's crossbow arrows were too dense, and more than a dozen pointed ears were hiding on the slope alternately.
The arrows fired never stopped. At least 5 or 6 people fell down after dragging back a wounded soldier. The knight commanding at the scene ordered that no rescue of the wounded soldiers be allowed. Everyone could only listen to the wounded companions wailing and crying until they died. Going deep into the jungle
After other troops heard the noise and gathered together, they changed their formation - knights in plate armor charged on foot in front, and the light infantry immediately chased and wiped out the remaining enemies after the knights dispersed them."
"That's what you have to do! But that loser's brain is not that good. It was your mentor who came up with this idea, right?"
Pierre, who was in a better mood, upgraded the Viscount from [Pig] to [Trash], and Locke also showed a slight smile.
"Yes, Knight Colbert advised the Viscount, and drove them with the heavy armored knights as the lead, crushing the pointed-eared crossbows and attacking, and the light infantry attacked the fleeing enemies."
After receiving Pierre's approval and Locke's smile, Niel straightened his back and showed an almost tragic smile.
"The Lord Knight also suggested that the shield bearers and crossbowmen should cooperate with each other, and the magicians should chant attack spells from behind. This can annihilate the opponent as quickly as possible. The viscount quickly adopted it and organized a phalanx to launch a counterattack against the pointed ears.
"
"The wimp has been put to some use."
"But as soon as the phalanx approached the slope, all the pointed ears suddenly ran away. Everyone thought that those bastards were frightened by our formation, and decided that this kind of frontal battle was not something they could resist, so they simply ran away regardless. Companions
Having suffered enough from these beasts, I am now ready to give them a good look, and the phalanx speeds up the slope..."
His expression and tone became increasingly sad, and the strangeness of his familiar playmate made Locke feel bad, and a terrible guess surfaced.
"trap?"
His sharp intuition, even if it is an afterthought, is highly commendable.
The elves used telescopes to monitor the movements of the humans. When the high-value targets - magicians and crossbowmen rushed towards them, the three harassment groups immediately stopped suppressing the organization and retreated. Before leaving, they each pulled the buried weapons as they had done during training.
Under the fallen leaves, there were ropes painted the same color as the ground. While counting the seconds, they accelerated their evacuation without looking back.
The pull-type ignition mechanism hidden underground is affected by traction. The hammer hits the edge of the fire door with flint, and the bursting sparks ignite the fuse until it burns out, which is just long enough for the elves to retreat to a safe area.
, at the same time, the attack target basically enters the killing range.
The moment the fuse burned into the bottom of the mine body, a mixture of nitroglycerin, potassium nitrate, nitrocellulose, wood powder filler, petrolatum, and activated carbon powder was detonated, and three large white phosphorus explosive devices (note) emitted a terrifying
First cry.
The structure of this low-tech mine is similar to that of an anti-infantry directional mine that is enlarged to a height of 80 centimeters, a width of 50 centimeters, and a thickness of 35 centimeters, but the filling content is very different. After the explosive at the bottom is detonated, what explodes outward is not broken iron, but iron sand.
Kind of gadgets.
White phosphorus, which is highly prone to spontaneous combustion, is the second layer of the mine's charge. The high-temperature blast wind exceeding the ignition point of 40°C ignites the white phosphorus, and the high temperature released is transferred to the third layer of charge - 25% aluminum powder and 73% iron oxide powder.
% ratio, it is collectively called the warhead of thermite (Note 2) on earth.
The spectacle like a volcanic eruption shocked the human beings. Before they could realize what was happening and make dodge reflexes, the magician sergeant who reacted fastest chanted the first syllable of the defensive spell at the fastest speed. Counting flying fires.
A dense and brilliant rain of scorching heat fell on the unsuspecting crowd like meteors.
There is no possibility of survival under the high temperature and rain of 2482 degrees Celsius.
"The scene was as if all the meteors in the sky condensed into raindrops and fell, and the hell fire that burned through everything was poured towards the crowd. The companions on the hillside could hide everywhere. There were a few sparks on the trees and clothes.
It will burn immediately. What's even more terrifying is that the kind of sparks can melt and burn through even armor. As long as you get a little bit on your body - whether it's your face, body, arms or thighs, the fire that never goes out will burn the skin and flesh, and then it will burn.
It goes deep into the bones. There are still some guys whose clothes are intact, but the person has turned into a mummy..."[
Niel described the horrific scene at that time in a trance-like and hollow tone. The smell of burnt human flesh, a pungent smell similar to garlic, was ignited and ran around in panic. As a result, the flames grew stronger and stronger, and the crossbowmen covered themselves with carbonized hands.
The shield hand with a face stained with sparks, the magician with his cape and coat intact, and his body shriveled up like the bones of a long-dead man, the knight whose armor was melted into molten iron and mixed with flesh and blood, his chest was completely burned, from
The halberdier on the scorched ground could be seen at the entrance of the cave... Finally, the white smoke completely covered the living picture of hell, the high heat depleted the oxygen, and the white phosphorus gas that invaded the human body carried out its final harvest. The blood-curdling screams gradually died away, and everything fell silent.
No one could get close to this poisonous cloud. Everyone knew that the comrades swallowed by it would not survive. Several soldiers knelt on the ground and howled in despair. Many veterans also had tears on their cheeks. They could not close their chins.
The knights and commanders no longer even thought about pursuing the crime that shook the morale of the army.
Morale, an important pillar of action warfare, has completely collapsed.
96;
They repeatedly picked out fragments from the scorched earth where armor, crossbows, swords, and human bones were melted together, and pieced together the bodies. After checking the personnel list, the number of casualties was 96, which did not include the broken iron that had previously died from shotgun blast.
The 7 people of Iron Sand.
The prospect of the encirclement and suppression campaign can only be described as bleak. Nearly one-third of the troops were lost, and the morale of the troops was completely collapsed. They were unable to carry out the planned operations. Viscount Fouché, who had no military talent and almost zero command experience, acted like a commander in his right mind.
That gave the right order.
Retreat, go home.
After collecting the various mutilated remains and body parts, the expedition team sadly made a 180-degree turn, going back and forth from where they came.
Pierre clenched his fists and wanted to beat, curse, strangle, and tear the despicable and cruel pointed ears into pieces. The reality and the only remaining reason prevented the angry knight from putting his impulse into action.
What a fully staffed and well-equipped crusade of 300 people could not do at a heavy price, it was even more impossible for a knight to go on a rampage alone.
"Damn it! Where did the pointed ears find such a dangerous guy!!!"
The anger that was vented everywhere finally couldn't even leave any room for fermentation, and it turned into a thunderous roar that was about to overturn the roof.
It is impossible for the elves to concoct such mysterious, deadly and powerful traps on their own. The tactics of skillfully using terrain to ambush, block or lure humans to trigger traps have been used in the past. But there has never been such a close tactical cooperation as now.
War example. I believe that even if the elves drank a ton of pagan secret medicine, their brains would not be able to open up to this extent - their brains are not that good.
There must be a bastard with a head full of evil ideas and a belly full of evil behind the pointy ears, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the emergence of those cruel traps and the failure of the expedition team.
The knight had this idea and was convinced of it, but lacked evidence.
Regardless of whether the test is true or not, it is an indisputable fact that the difficulty of completing this task and the cost of completing it - "Eradicate the Pointy Ears in the Valley" - are becoming increasingly unbearable.
The knight's anger turned to anguish and quickly calmed down.
Locke looked at him and stopped talking, like a sulking knight or a frustrated playmate. The page boy suddenly had a strong intuitive premonition.
——It may not be long before he walks into the forest full of traps and hidden arrows, and faces the cunning and cruel pointed ears.

Interpretation of small theater time
Brunhil: I always feel that the white phosphorus bombing was a bit overdone. I hope those who died in the war can rest in peace.[
Li Lin: It doesn’t matter. Anyway, Wilt does not have the United Nations Convention on Conventional Weapons to restrict the use of white phosphorus.
Brunhil: Then, please explain to Mr. Li Lin what white phosphorus is.
Li Lin: White phosphorus is a type of hand grenade, cannon, and explosive. It takes advantage of the property of white phosphorus to spontaneously ignite in the air. Chemical weapons that take advantage of the toxicity of white phosphorus have also been developed. At first, white phosphorus was used for combustion, but later due to its
It caused huge physical and psychological trauma to the soldiers of the warring countries, so it was gradually abandoned by various countries and instead used as target indicators and smoke.
White phosphorus is a color or light yellow, translucent waxy substance that is highly irritating. Its smell is similar to garlic and has a very low ignition point. Once it comes into contact with oxygen, it will burn, emitting a yellow flame and emitting strong smoke.
It can be used to burn substances that are difficult to burn with ordinary combustion materials. It is characterized by being able to fully burn in a small space or a space with low air density. Generally, the combustion temperature can reach more than 1000 degrees, which is enough to eliminate all living organisms within an effective range.
White phosphorus is very harmful. When it touches an object, it burns continuously until it is extinguished. Therefore, when it comes into contact with the human body, the flesh skin will be penetrated and then penetrate deep into the bones.
White phosphorus uses this property to burn. It is a very powerful burner. If it gets on the skin, it is difficult to remove it in time. The burning temperature is so high that it can burn all the way to the bones. The smoke produced is extremely irritating to the eyes and nose. Initially, Americans used it.
It is very effective in dealing with the Japanese in fortifications on the Pacific Islands. It does not have much technical content and is now basically available in the armies of all countries.
Brunhil: So what about thermite?
Li Lin: Thermite is a pink mixture of aluminum powder and ferric oxide powder in a certain proportion. When ignited with an igniter, the reaction proceeds violently, obtaining alumina and elemental iron in the reaction device and releasing a large amount of
The heat, the temperature can reach 3000, can melt the generated iron.
In addition to welding rails and smelting refractory metals, thermite is also widely used in military applications. For example, loading the thermite component into the gun head can greatly increase the lethality. In the book "Rocket Launcher" written by former Soviet scientists
When talking about the rocket head charge, it contains thermite.
In the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, the exhibits include U.S. military helmets and carbines that were melted together. Except for rockets, other explosions do not have such great energy.
Brunhil: Thank you for the commentary, and I look forward to seeing Mr. Li Lin make his front appearance again tomorrow.
