What is it?

Ghost-like smoke rose into the air and then rolled down from the fortress's earthen ramparts, silently.

But for those who are in it, they experience unprecedented despair.

In the anti-artillery hole under the earthen wall of the fortress, the Qing soldiers who were choked so that they couldn't open their eyes were coughing violently and crying at the same time.

"My eyes ......"

"Ah, I'm on fire......"

Crying out of pain and cries of despair echoed through the smoke, and the people who struggled in pain even rushed up the walls and ran down the dirt slopes, but fortunately, the Dutch bastion was steep enough, and there was a moat below to follow them, so that they would not fall to their deaths, and for a time the smoke was full of the sound of falling water.

These Qing troops, who were trying to avoid the deadly smoke, fell into the water one after another in their panic.

It's summer now, and the water in this wall river must not freeze to death, but the worst thing is that these Qing soldiers are wearing iron armor and falling into the moat...... When I just went down, I could still splash a few times, but I was wearing more than a dozen pounds of iron armor, and my clothes were full of water, so people became dead and heavy, and only by trying their best could they swim to the surface of the water and emerge.

When they finally came out, the smoke that covered the surface of the ground and water choked them so that they had no chance to catch their breath, and the people panicked and sank to the bottom of the river again, and after struggling a few times, the exhausted people also sank to the bottom.

The Qing army, choked by the poisonous smoke, had so much control there, they either jumped into the moat water, or picked it up on the bridge deck, and then ran away while crying. These panicked soldiers of the Yellow Banner Han Army ran left and right on the city wall, and collided with each other. The scene in the smoke was chaotic, screams of pain, cries, and cries for help were mixed together, but more often than not, there was the sound of falling water.

All sorts of desperate voices mingled together.

The entire Suining Fort suddenly became a hellish place!

When the Jiannu soldiers who had finally escaped had not recovered from the pain of their eyes, nose and nose, when their bodies were still "burning" as if they were on fire, suddenly a group of cavalry rushed from a distance, and this group of cavalry did not even use their riding spears, but directly brandished their riding knives and killed them.

"Kill!"

Holding a straight knife in his hand, Yang Zhen shouted, and as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he took the lead in killing it.

"Kill!"

The surrounding cavalry all shouted, and then followed him towards Jiannu.

Although out of the need to break the armor, the Ming army's straight knife is mainly "stabbed", but it is also suitable for chopping down, Yang Zhen of the galloping horse rushed to Jiannu, the saber raised high in his hand, with his leaning forward to cut, Lisuo slashed to the fleeing Jiannu, with the speed of the galloping of the war horse, a bare head was dragged by the saber and flew into the air, blood gushed out from the broken neck, maybe because the speed was too fast, the head was cut off Jiannu even ran a step or two before falling, As he fell, blood spilled out in a semicircle in the air like a fountain.

Originally, the cavalry thought that they would be resisted, but to their surprise, those Jiannu who ran away with their eyes covered did not resist at all, just cried and prayed, and then death fell on their heads.

In the hands of the cavalry, the sharp straight knives turned into scimitars, into cavalry, or cut off the body of Jiannu in half with a single sword, or pierced their armor and lifted people into the air.

It wasn't even a battle, it was a one-sided killing, and in the face of the cavalry's attack, the Jiannu, who covered their eyes with their hands, would not put up any other resistance except crying.

Finally, when the cavalry chased and cut the last escaped Jiannu in two like chopping melons and vegetables, the cavalry restrained their horses, and then looked into the distance with some blankness, the fortress in the distance had been completely shrouded in white and yellow smoke, the smoke seemed to fade a little, but there was a terrible silence in the smoke.

In this silence, these cavalrymen all looked at these battlefields in amazement, as for Yang Zhen, who was born in Jiangmen, he had already recovered from the previous charge, looking at the city shrouded in smoke, he had only one thought in his heart - what was going on?

He just left the General's Mansion half a month ago to enter the combat unit, and like other guards in the General's Mansion, he became the sentry commander, originally he led a hundred cavalry to kill a happy battle, but he never thought that this battle would end so soon. It's not even fun yet!

Holding his breath, he stared at the city in the distance, and there was only one thought left in his heart - if it was all such a battle, then what else would it be?

How did this battle come to be won in such a mess?

What the hell is it going on?

"This poisonous smoke is too powerful!"

With his eyes wide open, Zu Zepu stared at Suining Fort in astonishment, just like that, he didn't need a single soldier to build such a pentagonal fort?

It's just, it's ...... Outrageous!

This will make Zu Zepu's heart even have a thought, if this is to let Jiannu get this kind of poisonous smoke, how can it be good? In the past, Da Ming relied on such a city to protect Liaodong, but now it's good, the prince actually came up with such a thing, this thing is really terrible!

With it, what kind of city is it to attack, using it to attack the city is simply invincible, there is no need to attack it at all, and they will be poisoned to death directly with poisonous smoke.

"It's not poison smoke!"

Zukofa laughed.

"This is the tear gas that the prince just ordered someone to make."

"Tear gas?"

"Yes, it's tear gas, it's something that makes people cry, or it won't die, at most, it's choking, choking tears......"

"This, that's okay?"

……

"Why not!"

After a smug burst of laughter, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Chili, hahahaha!"

Laughing, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Thin down the ordinary grenade, and then mix the pepper flour into gunpowder in proportion, so that the original exploded grenade becomes a smoke bomb, but this smoke bomb will be very choking, and the enemy in the smoke will feel the same pain in the eyes and throat as burning, and the bare skin will also have a burning sensation, after all, Chaotian pepper, that is very spicy!"

The use of chili peppers as tear gas is nothing new, after all, on the other side, many tear gas canisters themselves are made with capsaicin. And Zhu Guoqiang just used a local method - gunpowder and chili noodles became a simple tear gas, although it was simple, but this thing was absolutely effective, but even he himself didn't expect the effect to be so good, and he actually choked the Qing army to abandon the city and flee.

"The prince is wise, and he can actually think of using chili peppers, but ordinary people can't even think of it."

Liu Hanyi said with admiration on his face, among such staff, he is the earliest staff member to follow Zhu Guoqiang, although his talent is limited, but in terms of sycophancy, he is definitely Chiguoguo.

Of course, he is no stranger to chili peppers, after all, the barbecue and hot pot on the prince's side are inseparable from that thing. That's a spicy thing!

But who would have thought that it could be used on the battlefield?

"What's so unexpected!"

Zhu Guoqiang, who was in a good mood, said with a smile.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mo family used the bellows to release the gas released from the mustard burning in the furnace and enter the enemy tunnel to choke the enemy army. In the Song Dynasty, the official army used this kind of "tear gas" in order to pacify the Liukou. The smoke it produces can make the rogue "burst into tears" and quickly disintegrate the fighting power of the rebel army, which I only thought of when I saw this paragraph when I read the history books recently. ”

It's just that this kind of tear gas that uses chili peppers is more effective than those tear gas canisters that use mustard. The irritation is more tragic, uh, intense, and of course, for the people of this era, it can indeed be described as tragic.

"Lord Shizi, do you want to use it to pacify the Liukou?"

Surprised, Liu Hanyi suddenly said with a straight face.

"The prince is benevolent and righteous, and the ministers thank the prince for his great kindness and virtue for the people of the world!"
