Chapter 1177: Burning Beast!
Woo~
A low horn, a long and melodious blowing.
On the ancient city wall, the soldiers in armor ran forward, and the sound of friction between the armor leaves and the clanging of neat footsteps were intertwined with the solemn background of war, as if beating the war drums for the upcoming tragic battle.
"Number one is in place!"
"Number two is in place!"
……
"Report ~ all defense points, all in place!"
"Command the three armies! Fight to the end! People are in the city!"
The general shouted, drew his sword, and pierced the sky.
The cold blade refracted a dazzling white light.
The heralds quickly ran away, and the defensive points quickly began to prepare for battle.
Swords and arrows are useless, the power is too weak, and they can't kill the red-armored fire dragon at all.
Muskets and cannons were used, as well as crossbows, and in some places, even old but still usable catapults.
Distance.
The red-armored fire dragons rushed in groups, they were like migrating on the prairie, and they had a momentum that was more magnificent than the galloping of ten thousand horses, rolling like a tide, and roaring.
Because the red-armored fire dragons all had dark black scale armor, they rushed wildly, looking down from the sky, as if a torrent of black iron armor was rushing forward.
……
Yingke base.
In the highly automated joint operations command center, even in Qin Tian's absence, the intelligent system quickly began to deploy forces to carry out air strikes after collecting and integrating intelligence.
This time, the Red Armor Fire Dragon set off a counterattack, far away from the Yingke base, it can be regarded as on the other side of the planet, three places to raise the alarm, two in the 'Watson Korti Kingdom', one in the 'Tani Kingdom', these two countries are typical mountainous and forested countries, so the Red Armor Fire Dragon is hiding in the forest wilderness, and it is not easy to be detected.
However, now they rushed out in droves to take the initiative to attack the town, whether it was because they were hungry or because they wanted to take revenge and hegemony, anyway, this raging sortie was soon detected by satellite remote sensing.
At the moment when the combat alarm was issued, the three large long-endurance unmanned reconnaissance planes closest to the three locations also immediately rushed to hear the news, and in the Yingke base, if they wanted to hit a group target thousands of kilometers away, of course, only space fighters with a fast enough flight speed were dispatched!
One after another, the TF-11C 'Fighting Falcon' space fighters quickly completed the preparation for hanging bombs.
In order to save time to the greatest extent, the fighters did not go to the runway to take off in turn, but prepared one and immediately took off into the air.
Time is of the essence!
One minute late, the city wall may be breached, and many people will be killed, so the space fighter is racing at extreme speed, and there is no pilot operation anyway, as long as it is within the carrying limit of the fighter, it doesn't matter if it soars out of 50G overload.
Therefore, every fighter plane is 'racing with life', running at a speed of more than Mach 20, flying out of about seven kilometers in one second, like meteors.
And in order to be faster, space fighters generally use large elevation angles to accelerate, after rushing out of the atmosphere into outer space, accelerated by the plasma engine, reaching a speed of more than 10 kilometers per second, flying out of a parabola-like track, before reaching the target, and then diving back into the atmosphere.
In this way, flying in outer space without air resistance and without encountering high-altitude turbulence, the flight speed can be fast enough.
Through this kind of 'high-throwing' flight, the space fighter can of course easily cover the globe in half an hour, or even reach any target on the planet within 20 minutes.
Fighter planes are roaring to support, and the surging red-armored fire dragon, rolling like a beast tide, is getting closer and closer to the town.
……
Nordian.
The Kingdom of Tani contained more than 50,000 civilians in the city, and once the city gates and walls were breached, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, a large number of red-armored fire dragons rushed like a mountain and a sea, even if they were far away, the footsteps that rushed forward caused a vibration, which made people feel like an earthquake.
There were so many red-armored fire dragons that couldn't help but make the female soldiers and generals defending on the city wall extremely nervous, and they seemed to remember the tragic past four or five years ago when the red-armored fire dragon invaded on a large scale.
The drums of the approaching 'enemy' had been beaten heavily, and the sentries on the high sentry towers were beating the war drums desperately, indicating that a large number of red-armored fire dragons were less than two kilometers away.
"Bullets loaded!"
"Artillery ready!"
The general seemed to exert all his might, and let out a hoarse cry.
Muskets began to be filled with ****** and buckshot, and the guns were also loaded with metal pellets......
However, even if there are weapons and equipment, the female soldiers are soaked in cold sweat in their palms, they know too well how backward their weapons and equipment are, it is impossible to kill the red armor fire dragon, maybe the artillery can, but the number is really not much!
How to fight this battle?
Therefore, countless people are looking forward to the emergence of advanced weapons of human civilization on the earth.
Half-hour!
It has been 19 minutes since the battle alarm was issued, and from the warning signal sent out by satellite communication equipment, although it was known that in the next 11 minutes, fire support would inevitably arrive, but a large number of red-armored fire dragons were already less than two kilometers, and with their wild speed, it was estimated that they could rush to the city in a few minutes.
Now, they can only hope that the fire support will come a little faster, and the obstacles, traps and moats set up outside the city can support a little longer!
Nervous, afraid, nervous!
The officers and soldiers guarding the city wall were like this, and the civilians gathered in the city were naturally even more nervous.
However, just when everyone was about to suffocate from nervousness......
Shout~
A silver-gray space fighter, like a savior, suddenly appeared from the skyline, opened the built-in bomb bay from a distance, and threw out the eight cloud burst bombs hanging in the bomb bay.
The hatch of the bomb bay closed, and the space fighter suddenly increased its speed and pulled up, roaring back home.
The eight cloudburst bombs that were dropped whizzed over the city of Nordian, emitting a piercing whining and screaming sound.
When the cloudburst bombs came out of the bomb bay, they were given a very fast initial velocity, and then under the action of gravity, they flew out of a parabolic trajectory, because of the air resistance, their speed slowed down, but still as fast as arrows.
Using gliding self-guided cloudburst bombs, through the front-mounted radar/infrared active seeker, coupled with the high-altitude cruising large long-endurance unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to provide data correction, eight cloudburst bombs, with a very accurate trajectory, rushed to the red armor fire dragon herd, forming a basic killing range full coverage, so as to avoid a swarm of bees to blow up a place.
The eight cloudburst bombs in the course of the gliding flight, after actively dispersing, fell rapidly, and exploded at a height of several meters above the ground.
Buzz ~ Boom!!
A dull hum was followed by a blast that resounded through the sky.
The first buzz was a small self-detonation before the explosion of the cloudburst bomb, which sprayed a large number of high-burning cloudburst agents, including some metal aluminum powder, and the subsequent booming explosion was a neat detonation formed by all the cloudburst bombs.
The sudden explosion was the sound of a large amount of cloud explosive being rapidly burned to release heat energy, and the doped metal aluminum powder further increased the power of the explosion.
Looking at it from a distance, it felt like a volcanic eruption suddenly came to the ground in the distance, and between the bursts of light, the flames continued, covering countless red-armored fire dragons in the rush of madness.
When the raging sea of fire burned, the billowing black smoke had already formed a sea of clouds.
In this situation, it was like a forest fire on the top of the mountain, and in the fierce fire and super explosive shockwave attack, the red-armored fire dragons with rough skin and thick flesh and scale armor protection were not wiped out instantly, they were only seriously injured.
The shock wave caused internal organ bleeding, and the extreme heat caused severe burns to the ears, nose, eyes, and many other parts of the body.
At the same time, the scorching high temperature and high pressure effect, as well as the instant combustion of the cloud explosion agent emptied a large amount of air, they could not breathe fresh air, and the breath was scorching toxic gas, which not only caused respiratory burns and infection, but also caused a suffocation effect because there was no oxygen.
Cloudburst bombs are not used for anti-personnel grenades, armor-piercing bullets, etc., they rely on shock waves and anti-personnel shrapnel to create killing, they are to create ultra-high temperature and suffocation effect, and the tens of thousands of degrees Celsius of high temperature formed in the moment of explosion can be melted by steel, not to mention the flesh and blood body of the red armor fire dragon, how about the scale armor?
Of course, even if the scale armor of the red armor is burned off, and a large amount of skin and flesh are roasted, they have not yet died on the spot, and they are still rushing out with brute force, like 'roast pigs' running out of the fire, all of them have charred flesh and black flesh, and there is a fishy smell.
And there are also unlucky, after all, the scandal covered by eight cloud burst bombs is too big, forming a large area of oxygen-free environment, and the red-armored fire dragon at the edge of the killing range can still rush out to breathe a few breaths of fresh air with all his strength.
In the core area of the killing range, it was miserable, they were already sick, and they didn't breathe oxygen after running a few steps, but they breathed a lot of poisonous gases that were not fully burned, especially the scorching smell of the red armor fire dragon being roasted to the skin and flesh, as well as various sulfide gases, carbon monoxide, etc., which soon made them 'poisoned' alive.
Originally, a large group of red-armored fire dragons were really almost wiped out.
The few remaining ones were already on the verge of dying at any time, crawling and staggering, unable to attack at all.
And inside the city of Nordian.
The earth-shattering rumbling explosion made many people's ears buzz.
The female soldiers who defended on the city wall were not only shocked to the point that their eardrums hurt, but even after seeing the continuous sea of fire, they also felt a wave of heat rushing to their faces, mixed with the smell of burnt meat.
When the sea of fire disappeared and the smoke dissipated, I saw that the large clearing in the distance outside the city had been emptied, black and charred, and one by one the savage and ferocious red-armored fire dragons had fallen to death in the wilderness, and the few remaining ones were still swaying like headless flies, obviously not recovering from the impact of the explosion.
And at this time, the second space fighter roared.
The large long-endurance unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that 'witnessed' and commanded the whole process at high altitude did a damage assessment after the explosion, and shared the situation of the bombing site with the space fighters through a tactical data link.
Therefore, when the space fighter attacked, the bomb delivery channel was accurately selected, and the ammunition delivery position, initial velocity, detonation height, etc. were optimized and proportioned.
After dropping three cloudburst bombs, the space fighter did not return immediately, but turned and cruised in a large radius, waiting for the damage effect after the explosion to come out, and then deciding whether to need a third supplementary bombing.
The second wave of bombardment came so quickly and so accurately, the remnants of the red-armored fire dragons themselves were more or less injured, they were shrouded in this wave of bombing, it was really killed in an instant in the ultra-high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, as if they were thrown into the furnace to roast, no matter how rough the skin and thick meat could not bear.
After assessing that it had been completely wiped out, the space fighter slowed down, flew around the city, shook its wings in greeting, and then quickly climbed away......
