Chapter 1507: Han Banner World 197 Decisive Battle 11

His Majesty the Emperor did not mean to blame, and his tone seemed extremely relaxed. However, as the vanguard of the siege, the commander of the Ninth Army, Luo Weiran, was still quite stressed. If another attack still failed to capture Hangu Pass, , then the old face of the Ninth Army will be completely lost. When Commander Xu comes to change generals before the battle, will he still be a human being? I'm afraid even everyone in the Ninth Army will lower their heads when they see friendly troops and take a detour.

As a battle-hardened veteran, Luo Weiran still had some doubts about this new weapon in which His Majesty the Emperor was confident. The strength of the Hangu Pass wall was far beyond his imagination, and the tenacity of the guard Qian Zhongyi was also It gave him a headache. The opponent was also someone who had been fighting for a long time and was determined to die. The layout of the defense was extremely clever. Yesterday's fierce bombardment did not destroy the opponent's firepower. Before the infantry launched the attack, At that time, he was frightened by the ferocity of the counterattack artillery fire.

Sometimes when I think about it, I really hate those unscrupulous businessmen in China who are just trying to make money. If they hadn't used the imperial court to sell cement and steel frame construction technology for money, they could also make a lot of money from cement and steel bars. It's so difficult to attack Hangu Pass today. If Hangu Pass were still the same as before, it would have collapsed long ago if the artillery came down. Fortunately, now, countless cannonballs have been fired, leaving only numerous small craters on the city wall, which basically poses no threat to the main body of the city wall.

Luo Weiran also roughly guessed the method of hiding the opponent's artillery. In fact, he had seen such artillery positions in some domestic cities. They were more sophisticated than those of the Qin people, because the artillery of the Han Dynasty was lighter than those made by the Qin people. Many times, the artillery with wheel rails is usually hidden in the cannon hole, when nothing happens. The artillery can't be seen at all. There is a baffle at the door of the cave. Push up the baffle. The artillery holes are integrated with the wall, and when war breaks out. Pull off the baffle and push the gun along the guide rail to fight.

The Qin people probably also adopted this technique, which made the attackers very troubled. Unless they were lucky and the shells flew directly along the mouth of the cannon hole and exploded, there was really nothing they could do against their opponents.

After waiting in agony for a day and a half, Hangu Pass was also quiet for a day and a half. Luo Weiran finally waited for the new type of artillery shells that His Majesty the Emperor mentioned. A technician is under the gaze of Luo Weiran. After opening one of the boxes, Luo Weiran was surprised that the box was divided into two layers, and one of the thin interlayers was actually filled with water. At this time, he also saw that the same was true for the opened lid of the box.

"What's this for?" he asked, lighting the box.

"Commander Luo, this is a white phosphorus warhead. This thing has a very low ignition point and will spontaneously ignite if you are not careful. It is extremely terrifying when it ignites and will not stop until it burns out. It cannot be extinguished in time, so you can only use water Completely isolate them from the air." The technician carefully picked up a warhead and placed it on the table.

It was completely different from Luo Weiran's imagination of hearing cannonballs. This white phosphorus bomb was in the shape of a cone and was lying on the table. Its thin iron shell shone with a faint blue light under the light.

Staring at this unique bomb,

Luo Weiran asked in confusion: "This is completely different from our artillery regulations. How to shoot them out?"

The technician explained: "Commander Luo, he did not launch it with an artillery, but with another launcher. However, the white phosphorus bombs were too difficult to preserve, so we divided them into two parts when manufacturing them. The first One part is the warhead containing white phosphorus, and the other part is the propulsion device with gunpowder. During combat, the two parts are installed together, the fuse is ignited, and the propulsion device will fly with the white phosphorus. Toward the target.”

"It sounds like the little gadget called the sky cannon played during the Chinese New Year!" Luo Weiran said in surprise.

The technician smiled and said: "Commander Luo is really powerful. This thing was originally inspired by things like the sky cannon, but with the addition of the white phosphorus bomb warhead, it is extremely terrifying. There are some places, I'm afraid it's more terrifying than artillery."

"More terrifying than artillery?" Luo Weiran stared at this extremely delicate cone, and it was hard to imagine what was so powerful about him: "Explain it in detail. What is so powerful about him?"

"Yes, Commander Luo!" The technician nodded, and after sorting out his thoughts, Luo Weiran found that this man's body was trembling slightly at this moment, and his heart couldn't help but move.

"This kind of white phosphorus bomb has an extremely low ignition point. If it is exposed to the air, it will spontaneously ignite at a slightly higher temperature. Once it touches the skin and flesh, it cannot be extinguished. Commander Luo, when we are making this kind of artillery shell, something will happen." There was an accident, and dozens of people in a workshop died." The technician's body was shaking more and more obviously, and it was obvious that he remembered the scene at that time. "Commander Luo, can you imagine? The clothes of those people were intact, but the people were burned terribly."

Hearing the trembling voices of the technicians, Luo Weiran became nervous. "The clothes were not burned, but the person was?"

"Yeah, it's burned all the way to the bone. This thing is like a maggot attached to the bone. It won't stop until it's completely burned," the technician said.

Seeing the technician's expression, Luo Weiran also became a little worried: "Does it require any special skills to hit this thing?"

"That's not necessary. When it is fired, it is just like playing with a cannon. Even the storage of this thing is very careful. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal." The technician said.

Hearing this, Luo Weiran immediately said: "In this case, the custody of this will still be your responsibility. Are there enough people coming? When we use it tomorrow, you can give us as much as we need. Since this thing is so dangerous, our people have never touched it, so we won't interfere casually."

"That's good." The technician nodded, carefully put the warhead back into the box, closed the lid, and took out the other half of the shell from another box. It was a cylindrical object with three tail fins installed on the tail.

"It's quite different from a rocket!" Luo Weiran held it in his hand. "The front half is scary, but the back half is quite delicate. Are these bayonet ports used to connect to the white-scaled warhead? What are the small wings on the tail for? Isn't it too heavy? Wouldn't it be able to fly farther if you remove them?"

"You can't remove them!" The technician laughed and said, "We spent a long time figuring out these three small wings. Commander Luo, when you were playing with the rocket, was it not accurate and sometimes flew randomly?"

"Yes." Luo Weiran's face changed. "One New Year, my naughty boy played with that The thing, the rocket turned a corner in the air and hit one of my family members in the face, it was so tragic, bloody! You, your thing won't have such a situation, right? "

"It did happen at the beginning, but those experiments were carried out under specific terrain, so it would not hurt people by mistake. These three small wings are used for stable flight. With them, the flight of the shells will not have too many problems, and it can basically fly according to the predetermined target. Otherwise, it would not be put into actual combat. "

"Can this thing really help me knock open Hangu Pass?" Luo Weiran still had some doubts.

The technician said proudly: "Commander Luo, you will watch it tomorrow. Although Hangu Pass has a dangerous terrain, the more such terrain, the more effective this white scale bomb will be. Tomorrow, Hangu Pass will become a hell on earth."

"I hope so." Luo Weiran said, kindness does not lead the army, as long as he can make more enemies die and fewer of his own people die, he doesn't care whether Hangu Pass becomes a hell on earth.

In the emperor's tent, Yang Dasha looked at the emperor absent-mindedly, "Your Majesty, will you go to watch the battle tomorrow?" He made small talk. Yang Dasha was never a good person to talk to.

"No." Gao Yuan shook his head: "The white phosphorus bombs have been delivered, and they will be put into use tomorrow. Hangu Pass will become a hell on earth. It will be miserable. I won't go. I feel uncomfortable watching it."

Yang Dasha laughed dryly a few times, thinking that the emperor had fought for more than ten years, and there were at least eight hundred enemies who died in his hands. If the number of people who died in the world during these years was counted, it would be a huge number. The emperor's words may be suspected of being hypocritical.

Gao Yuan knew what Yang Dasha was thinking, but he knew too well how powerful the white phosphorus bomb was. Even in his previous life, this thing was banned.

He also didn't expect that this thing would be created by people of this era. First, the Yizhen Research Institute accidentally discovered white phosphorus during the experiment, and then the characteristics of this thing were quickly excavated. Later, the Weapon Research Institute also quickly intervened. The two joined forces and soon decided to study it as a weapon.

A weapon similar to a rocket launcher was born. When Gao Yuan saw this weapon for the first time, he was also stunned. He felt that he still underestimated the intelligence of people of this era. They actually figured out how to install a tail fin on the tail to keep the rocket stable and in the direction of flight, so that this weapon can finally be put on the battlefield.

He personally gave the order to use this weapon, which was also based on the characteristics of Hangu Pass. Tomorrow, thousands of such rockets will explode over Hangu Pass. In Hangu Pass, the number of people who can survive can be counted on one hand. What makes Gao Yuan feel even more uncomfortable is that these people will never die happily like being hacked to death or blown up by a cannon. They will die in agony.

I will be despised by God! Gao Yuan thought to himself.

"Dasha, do you want to fight?" He stood up and clenched his fists.

Yang Dasha's eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Majesty, you haven't fought for a long time."

"Little guy, I can't deal with you?" Gao Yuan sneered. "Come on, let me loosen your muscles for you."

"I won't hold back." Yang Dasha stood up excitedly. (To be continued.)
