Chapter 1508: Han Banner World 198 Decisive Battle 12
The sun first peeked out a little from the top of the distant peak, and then, as if frightened by the earth-shattering war drums and the loud sound of military trumpets and the shouts of the sky, jumped out from the top of the mountain with a swoop, and poured down thousands of rays of light, and the heavens and the earth suddenly became much brighter.
Qian Zhongyi squinted at the sun, which was still a little red, and then moved his gaze downward, looking at the dense Han army in the distance, and laughed silently. Two days ago, a battle made his confidence greatly increased, the so-called invincible artillery of the Han army, in front of Hangu Pass to no avail, it has been proved that as long as the response is appropriate, the Han army is not invincible.
Now, he felt that he could hold out here for a long time, or that he could make His Majesty change his mind and send him reinforcements, yes, why not? Two days ago, in front of Hangu Pass, it was full of corpses of the Han army, and the blood of the Han army was shed. They were forced to withdraw from the battle at dusk.
Fear of too many casualties, this is the weakness of the Han army now, the so-called Great Council will be dissatisfied with the army because of the large number of casualties and affect their future, this point, the generals of the Han army have not to consider.
I don't have this concern.
Ci is not in charge of the army, when a general is worried about a large number of casualties among the soldiers, his enterprising spirit will immediately drop a notch, but as everyone knows, sometimes, victory is piled up with death. The so-called one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and this is the truth. When the war is over, only the victorious generals will be remembered by people or future generations, and the casualties of those soldiers will only become piles of cold numbers under the glory of successful generals. And the loser is his best backdrop.
Or, he will create another brilliance, just like a few years ago, one of his own active sneak attacks almost annihilated an entire division of the Han army. Your name will live forever in the annals of history.
"It's the same old again, isn't there anything new?" Looking at the dense artillery that was pushed to the front again, Qian Zhongyi sneered disdainfully. This time, not only him, but even the most ordinary soldiers knew how to evade the blows of these dense artillery fire.
When he glanced at it, the soldiers above the city had already left their original posts one after another, hiding in the anti-artillery holes behind them, only in some blind spots outside. Lookout posts were left to observe the movements of the Han army at the time of the shelling.
"Father, go ahead and avoid it, there will be an overwhelming artillery attack soon." Qian Ming walked over and said to Qian Zhongyi: "I'll just stay here and observe." ”
"Okay, be careful." Qian Zhongyi nodded.
Under the city, before 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 attacks. The use of dense artillery strikes, which was also aimed at forcing the Qin army closer to the anti-artillery hole, according to the technical officer, the more confined the space. The more effective the white phosphorus bombs will be, the more effective they will be, and the more they can kill the enemy.
"Fire!" Above the artillery position, the hoarse voice of the artillery commander was heard, and with his roar. One cannon after another began to roar and spew flames towards Hangu Pass, and one after another cannonballs flew towards the city with a sharp whistling sound, and the rising smoke obscured the sunlight in the air.
The sound of a huge explosion kept coming. In the rear of the artillery position, under the command of the technical officer, technicians from the Ordnance Research Institute were quickly erecting improvised launchers. Thrust devices are also in place.
At the end of the first round of shelling, the technical officer looked a little nervous, the white phosphorus bomb was too dangerous, even he looked a little nervous at the moment.
"Ready to unbox."
"Take out the shells!"
"Helong!"
"Ignition!"
Hundreds of simple launchers were installed on the thrust device by the technicians next to the hundreds of improvised launchers, and the white phosphorus bombs taken out of the sealed boxes were mounted on the thrust device and ignited and fired.
Watching the white phosphorus bombs soar into the air, Luo Weiran's eyes followed them closely, and the howling sound was a little sharp, completely different from the dull sound that made the earth tremble when the cannon was fired, but it seemed to be the kind of cupola that those children played with during the New Year.
The white phosphorus bombs landed accurately on the top of the city, or flew into the city, and the sound of the explosion was very small, and the sound of firecrackers was not much louder than a series of crackling sounds. There was no fire above the city, and Luo Weiran couldn't help but look at the technical officer with some suspicion, but saw that he didn't look at him at all, but began to order the next round of shooting.
More than 100 pieces each time, five rounds were shot in a row, and Luo Weiran suddenly found that above the city head of Hangu Pass, there was a low cloud.
"What's that?" Before he could finish his sentence, Luo Weiran was startled by the sudden hoarse screams from inside the city, because it was not the screams of one person or a few people, but the screams of hundreds of people.
There are countless running and jumping figures above the city, in the eyes of the Han army in the distance, this is an extremely strange scene, because they are far away, they can't see the specific situation on the city clearly, they can only see a figure running non-stop, running and running, and then fell down from the city wall.
For Luo Weiran, it was different, because at this moment, he was holding a telescope, but in his field of vision, he could see it clearly.
This is the devil's weapon! He shuddered in his heart, and he could see no flames in the soldiers of the city, but he could see that their exposed skin was rapidly blackening, and their skin was open and blood was flowing.
Some opened their mouths wide and inhaled desperately, but these fell faster.
"What's this, what is this? What kind of shell is this? He lowered his binoculars and muttered, his face changing color.
"Commander Luo, this is the White Phosphorus Bomb, his ignition point is extremely high, so from the outside, you can't even see their flames, and once it comes into contact with the human body, he will pass through the flesh and directly incinerate your bones. White phosphorus is a very fine powdered object, they are distributed in the air and burned, those who inhale widely, because the white phosphorus burns rapidly and depletes the surrounding air and lack of oxygen, but they breathe so much but will directly suck the white phosphorus powder into the internal organs, which will make them die faster. White phosphorus bombs leave the city with nowhere to hide, and they will cling to every object and burn until they run themselves out, and there is nothing they can do to extinguish them. The technical officer walked to Luo Weiran's side.
"Isn't there anything we can do to extinguish it ourselves?" Luo Weiran found that his voice trembled a little, and quickly stabilized his mind and asked.
"Not at the moment, but the Yizhen Research Institute is studying this subject, hoping to find a way to restrain them, and if someone is stained with white phosphorus at this stage, the best way is to immediately remove the part that stained him." The technical officer said, "Commander Luo, do you see that cloud?" Until the clouds have cleared, our army will not be able to attack, but by that time, I am afraid that there will be no one in the city, and even if there is, there will be no more resistance. ”
As he spoke, the Qin army above the city head jumped down from the top of the city like dumplings, and the wall of Hangu Pass was nearly twenty meters high. However, this strange scene was presented in front of the Han army, but it made all the Han soldiers stunned, and there was no cheer, because it was too weird, and it made them feel extremely unreal.
On the top of the city, Qian Zhongyi was holding a knife in one hand and grasping the battlements with the other, his hair was disappearing, his skin was bleeding, and the whole person was twitching, and just a moment ago, his eldest son Qian Ming couldn't bear the huge pain, and wiped his neck by himself, even if he died, Qian Zhongyi still saw that the muscles on his son's face were turning black little by little and disappearing. And Qian Ming died so quickly because at that time, a strange cannonball landed next to him and exploded.
Qian Zhongyi supported himself with an incomparable will and did not fall, his whole body was in pain, his internal organs were included, it seemed that the entire stomach was also burning, and the blood was flowing down from the seven orifices one by one.
"Devil, devil!" He looked at the quiet Han army camp in the distance, and finally fell on his back to the sky.
Throughout Hangu Pass, there are invisible flames burning.
The deafening screams gradually subsided, slowly disappearing into everyone's ears, and the terrifying dark clouds above the head of Hangu Pass also dissipated, and the sunlight finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes again. Above and below the city, there were corpses everywhere, and the corpses fell to the ground in a strange way, on top of the battlements.
"It's over?" Luo Weiran turned his head to look at the technical officer beside him as if he was in a dream.
"It's over, and no one should be left standing." The voice of the technical official also trembled a little, and the voice of the official who had been engaged in technical research couldn't help but tremble when he thought that there were 20,000 people in the city.
"Blow the trumpet and move forward." Luo Weiran turned around and shouted orders to the generals beside him.
The sound of the horn of the advance sounded, and there was a commotion in the Han army, which had always been forbidden, until the second round of trumpets sounded again rapidly, and the troops in front began to advance forward, but their steps seemed extremely heavy.
In the rear, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Yuan sat up from the marching bed, and looked at Yang Dasha, who was sitting cross-legged in front of his bed, the other party's face was swollen, it was his masterpiece yesterday.
"Finished?"
"The attack horn has just been sounded, and it should be over." Yang Dasha nodded.
"I've opened Pandora's box! This should be the first time that chemical weapons have appeared on the battlefield. Gao Yuan muttered.
"Your Majesty, what did you say, what magic box?" Yang Dasha asked in surprise.
Gao Yuan was silent. (To be continued.) )
