Chapter 1508: Han Banner World 198 Decisive Battle 12
The sun first secretly showed a little face from the peak in the distance, and then seemed to be frightened by the deafening war drums, the loud military trumpets and the overwhelming shouts, and jumped out from the top of the mountain, pouring down the thousands of feet of light, and the world suddenly became much brighter.
Qian Zhongyi squinted his eyes and looked at the sun that still looked a little red, then looked down at the densely packed Han army in the distance, and laughed silently. A tough battle two days ago gave him a great boost of confidence. The so-called indestructible artillery of the Han army was in vain in front of Hangu Pass. Facts have proved that as long as the response is appropriate, the Han army is not invincible.
Now, he feels that he can persist here for a long time, or even hold on until His Majesty the Emperor changes his previous view and sends him reinforcements. Yes, why not? Two days ago, in front of Hangu Pass, it was full of? Pigs? Pigs? Island? Novel ww.uua. The bodies of the Han army and the blood of the Han army were all shed. They were forced to withdraw from the battle at dusk.
Fear of too many casualties is the weakness of the Han army now. The so-called Great Council will express dissatisfaction with the army because of the large number of casualties, thus affecting their future. The generals of the Han army have to consider this.
I don't have this concern.
Kindness does not command the army. When a general is worried about the large number of casualties of soldiers, his enterprising spirit will immediately drop a level. Little do they know that sometimes, victory is built with death. The so-called "a general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers" is this truth. When the war is over, people or future generations will only remember the victorious generals, and the casualties of those soldiers will only become a pile of cold numbers under the glory of the successful generals. And the losers are his best background curtain.
Or, I will create another glory, just like a few years ago, when I took the initiative to sneak attack and almost wiped out an entire division of the Han army. My name will be recorded in history forever.
"It's the same old trick again. Isn't there anything new?" Looking at the dense artillery that was pushed forward again, Qian Zhongyi sneered disdainfully. This time, not only him, but even the most ordinary soldiers knew how to avoid the dense artillery fire.
When he glanced, the soldiers on the top of the city had left their original positions and hid in the anti-artillery holes behind them, leaving only some blind spots outside. Lookouts were left to observe the movements of the Han army during the bombardment.
"Father, you go in and take shelter first. There will be an overwhelming artillery attack soon." Qian Ming came over and said to Qian Zhongyi: "I'll stay here and observe."
"Okay, you be careful." Qian Zhongyi nodded.
Under the city, in front of the Han army's position, in order to confuse the Qin army in the city, Luo Weiran was still preparing for the first round of attack.
The use of dense artillery attacks was also to force the Qin army into the anti-artillery holes. According to the technical officer, the smaller the space, the better. The more white phosphorus bombs are used, the more effective they will be, killing the enemy to the greatest extent.
"Fire!" The artillery commander's voice was heard from the artillery position, and as he roared. One by one, the artillery began to roar and spit flames towards Hangu Pass, and one by one, the shells flew into the city with a sharp whistle, and the rising smoke covered the sunlight in the sky tightly.
The huge explosion sound kept coming. And behind the artillery position, under the command of the technical officer, the technicians from the Ordnance Research Institute were quickly setting up simple launchers. One by one, the push-launch devices were also installed in place.
After the first round of shelling, the technical officer looked a little nervous. The white phosphorus bomb was too dangerous. Even he seemed a little nervous at this moment.
"Get ready to unpack."
"Take out the shells!"
"Close the joints!"
"Ignite!"
The technicians beside the hundreds of simple launchers installed the white phosphorus bombs taken out of the sealed boxes on the push-and-shoot device in a uniform manner, and ignited and fired.
Watching the white phosphorus bombs flying into the air, Luo Weiran followed them closely. The whistling sound was a bit sharp, completely different from the dull sound of the artillery firing that made the earth tremble. It was more like the sky rockets that children played with during the New Year.
The white phosphorus bombs landed accurately on the top of the city, or flew into the city. The explosion sound was very small, a series of popping sounds, not much louder than the sound of firecrackers. There was no fire on the top of the city. Luo Weiran couldn't help but look at the technical officer with some suspicion, but he didn't look at him at all, but started to order the next round of shooting.
More than a hundred bombs each time, five rounds were fired in a row, and Luo Weiran suddenly found that there was a low cloud above the top of Hangu Pass.
"What is that?" Before he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the city, which frightened Luo Weiran, because it was not the scream of one or a few people, but the scream of hundreds of people.
There were countless running and jumping figures on the top of the city. From the perspective of the Han army in the distance, this was an extremely strange scene. Because they were far away, they could not see the specific situation on the city. They could only see figures running non-stop, and then they fell headfirst from the city wall.
But for Luo Weiran, it was different, because at this moment, he was holding a monocular telescope, and he could see it clearly in his field of vision.
This is the devil's weapon! He was trembling in his heart. There were no flames visible on the soldiers in the city, but they could see that their exposed skin was rapidly turning black, their flesh was torn open, and blood was flowing freely.
Some opened their mouths wide and sucked in air desperately, but these fell faster.
"What, what is this? What kind of shell is this?" He put down the telescope and murmured, and his face couldn't help but change color.
"Commander Luo, these are white phosphorus bombs. Their ignition point is extremely high, so from the outside, you can't even see their flames. But once they come into contact with the human body, they will pass through the flesh and directly burn your bones. White phosphorus It is an extremely fine powder-filled object. They are distributed in the air and burn. Those who breathe in with wide mouths are caused by the rapid burning of white phosphorus and the depletion of surrounding air due to lack of oxygen. It’s just that they breathe in such big mouths. But it will directly absorb the white phosphorus powder into their internal organs, which will make them die faster. The white phosphorus bombs will leave no place to hide in the city. They will stick to every object in every corner and burn until they consume themselves. There is no way to extinguish them." The technical officer walked to Luo Weiran's side.
"Can't we put it out ourselves?" Luo Weiran found that his voice was trembling, and he quickly calmed down and asked.
"Not at the moment, but Yizhen Research Institute is studying this topic, and 3617/'> hopes to find a way to restrain them. At this stage, if someone is contaminated by white phosphorus, the best way is to immediately remove the part that was contaminated. The technical officer said: "Commander Luo, have you seen that cloud? Our army can't launch an attack until the cloud clears. But by that time, I'm afraid there won't be many people in the city. Even if there is, there won't be anyone left in the city." There will be no resistance.”
While talking, the Qin army on top of the city jumped down from the top of the city like dumplings. The wall of Hangu Pass is nearly twenty meters high. If you fall from above, you will certainly die. . However, when this strange scene appeared in front of the Han army, all the Han soldiers were stunned and no cheers were heard because it was too weird and made them feel extremely unreal.
On top of the city, Qian Zhongyi was holding a knife in one hand and grasping the battlements hard with the other. His hair was disappearing, his skin was bleeding, and his whole body was twitching. Just a moment ago, his eldest son Qian Ming Unable to bear the immense pain, Ba Ye wiped his neck. Even after he died, Qian Zhongyi still saw the muscles on his son's face darkening and disappearing bit by bit. The reason why Qian Ming died so quickly was because at that time, a strange cannonball landed next to him and exploded.
Qian Zhongyi used his unparalleled will to hold himself up and not fall down. His whole body was in pain, including his internal organs. It seemed that his entire belly was on fire. Blood was flowing out from his seven orifices. shed.
"Devil, devil!" He looked at the quiet Han army camp in the distance, and finally fell on his back at the top of the city.
The entire Hangu Pass was burning with invisible flames.
The deafening screams gradually subsided and slowly disappeared from everyone's ears. The terrifying dark cloud above the city of Hangu Pass also dissipated, and the sun finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes again. There were corpses everywhere above and below the city. Corpses fell to the ground and on the battlements in all kinds of strange ways.
"Is it over?" Luo Weiran seemed to be in a dream, turning his head to look at the technical officer beside him.
"It's over. No one should be left standing." The technical officer's voice was also trembling. Thinking of the 20,000 people in the city, this official who had been engaged in technical research couldn't help but tremble in his voice.
"Blow the trumpet and move forward." Luo Weiran turned around and loudly ordered to the generals around him.
The horn of advance sounded, and the Han army, which had always been ordered and prohibited, suddenly started to commotion. It was not until the second round of bugle sounds that the troops in front began to advance forward, but their footsteps seemed extremely heavy.
Behind, in the Chinese army tent, Gao Yuan sat up from the camp bed and looked at Yang Dasha, who was sitting cross-legged in front of his bed. The other man's face was swollen. That was his masterpiece yesterday.
"Finished?"
"The attack horn has just been blown, it should be over." Yang Dasha nodded.
"I opened Pandora's box! This should be the first time chemical weapons appear on the battlefield." Gao Yuan murmured.
"Your Majesty, what did you say, what magic box?" Yang Dasha asked in surprise.
Gao Yuan remained silent. (To be continued.)
