Section 829 The city is burned with fire
There was an uproar in front of the camp, and the bombardier on the heavy trebuchet struck the machine hard, and the heavy hammer fell suddenly, bringing up a long pole with a thickness of 15 meters, and the long rope attached to it threw out the burning fire bomb with all its might!
Dozens of fireballs, like the fall of stars in the sky, pierced the night sky and smashed heavily into various parts of the city, immediately causing a raging fire.
The fire spread quickly!
The soldiers and civilians in the city screamed and got up to put out the fire, but found that the fire bombs of the Ming army were lit oil jars, and after they landed, the fire oil splashed everywhere, and the flames were blazing everywhere, and they could not be extinguished with water at all.
"This is the true fire of samadhi that the leader invited from heaven, and water can't save it!" Gan Hui, who invited the Mongolian leader Teng Jisi to watch the fire together, smiled and said: "Watch my Ming army burn the city!" ”
And Teng Jisi was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
In order to break through Shengjing, the Ming army specially prepared 56 parts of the counterweight trebuchet, and after arriving at the edge of Shengjing, the rest of the parts were made and assembled.
Technically, no problem!
Yan Dashao comes from a world with extremely developed information, and he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
Under his guidance, the Southeast Province invited technicians from West Asia and Europe to complete the design of the trebuchet and put it into production early.
It is a "niche" military item that is mainly used to fire fireballs.
Now that it came in handy, the Ming army and the Mongols outside the city were surprised, and the Tatars inside the city were facing a life-and-death situation.
In ancient cities, stone buildings are still a minority, and the oriental culture mainly builds houses with wood, there are many wooden houses in Shengjing, and the palaces are mostly wooden, when the fire altar with fire hits the ground, it immediately catches fire, and spreads out the fire oil that has been on fire in all directions, and where the oil traces flow, there is a fire.
The attack of the Ming army also caused a fire before, but the small fire was quickly extinguished and did not become a climate, but now it is different.
To add fuel to the fire, the Ming army constantly threw firebombs, and they even mounted two trebuchets on the dirt hill to make them have a longer range, and the small firebombs could hit a kilometer away!
The haphazardly scattered altars of fire caused a large fire, forming a firestorm.
The more cities burn, the more oxygen is consumed, and the larger the firestorm becomes, with most people burning alive and suffocating.
The greater disaster was that Shengjing was surrounded by two walls, the inner and outer walls, the heat could not be dissipated, the temperature reached thousands of degrees, and the people who ran even found that their feet were burned while running, and some even jumped into wells to avoid the fire!
In order to rest better, Tun Qi, the deputy general of Shengjing City, rested in his mansion that night, he knew that the Ming army's offensive was fierce, and he had enough rest and more strength to fight the Ming army!
There were quite a few people in the city to keep vigil, but he heard the unusual noise, got up quickly, put on his helmet, did not wear armor, rushed out of the house, his area was high, and saw clusters of flames burning on the buildings, which had become a prairie fire!
His eyes were round, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Good thief! ”
From the dark red sky, pieces of fire drifted around Tunqi, a flame erupted from a nearby roof, Tunqi's Goshha went to help put out the fire, but they were frustrated to find that nothing could be done, the fire burned very fast, the burning house was red all at once, the heat forced all the firefighters to retreat, and a teenager shouted in vain, "Eniang! "I want to rush into the room, and I am being dragged by people,
The flames are coming, this is a rich area, there are many people, people from all over the place rushed out of the house to find a place to take refuge, Tunqi also had to follow them, everything on the right side of the mansion was on fire, it was a moment ago, how could all this be so sudden?!
He ran to the left side of the road, but found the fire coming towards him, and a crowd of people huddled in the street, as if hypnotized, staring blankly at the raging fire.
An old soldier rushed out of the stabbing stab, and he was on fire, and the people helped to put out the fire, and beat him with wet clothes, but the fire could not be extinguished, and a smell of fire oil was smelled from him.
The fire crept up his legs, and the veteran howled in pain and pounced on one of the people who had helped him put out the fire, and in an instant, the two of them were on fire together!
Frightened, everyone jumped away from them, and it was disgusting to watch them twist in the flames, emitting a burst of roasted meat.
The flames and black smoke obscured the vision, everyone fled along the street in a daze, Tun Qi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, ran forward quickly, the strong fire was dazzling, he opened his mouth wide and gasped, only to feel that he couldn't breathe---- the flames took up too much oxygen.
On the contrary, his mind cleared up, and he thought of a nearby place, which was a newly opened training ground, where there was a large open space, and it should be safe.
Judging the place, Tun Qi beckoned: "Everyone come with me!" "Run with people.
But the road is not easy to walk, and sometimes the flames block the way, so we have to find a way to detour.
The flames were dangerous, and they continued on their way, and they were met by a large crowd of people with their personal belongings, some pulling carts, and horses!
Although the owner cleverly blindfolded the horse, the horse sensed that the environment was wrong, and struggled uneasily, preventing the owner from pulling it, and kicked a passing passer-by into the fire by the roadside!
Tun Qi understood that the person on the opposite side was rushing to escape for his life, and he wanted to turn around, but it was too late, he was already caught in the crowd crowded on both sides.
A fire bomb flew like a rocket, exploding into a ball of fire in front of the side, and the flying oil bounced onto Tunqi's body, so that his Goshha could help him extinguish the fire in time.
"Get out of the way with a knife!" Tunqi ordered.
"Kill them?" Goshha hesitated, these are his own people.
"Hit them with the back of a knife!" Tun Qi said impatiently.
So Goshha drew his knife and struck the people who stood in the way with the back of his sword, and scolded so loudly that the people were forced to give way.
The horse that was blocking the way was slashed in the leg by Goshha, and the horse fell to its knees and was pushed into the fire.
With such a smooth road, Tunqi finally arrived at the training ground.
He came just in time, and the training ground was crowded with many people, almost full.
Everyone gathered to tear down the surrounding wooden houses as soon as they could, so as to reduce the danger of flames.
Even so, the flames around were so fierce that people's hair and clothes could smell burning!
Tunqi was lucky, the Ming army attacked Shengjing overnight, and many Tatars in the darkness failed to find a place of refuge and threw themselves into the sea of fire and died.
Huge red flames scorched the black sky from all directions, and the sky over the city was red!
In the Liao Minmin camp outside the city, all the people got up and stared blankly at the city in the distance.
Manren had tears in his eyes, his face was full of tears, and he whispered "Amma, Eniang!" ”
The Ming army and the Mongols suddenly realized, no wonder Gandudu wanted to evacuate the Liao people in Shengjing City, he didn't want to burn too many people!
And then when the Tatars are at their most tired, deliver a fatal blow!
"Boom, boom!" The artillery from the heights of the Ming army fired, bombarding the Tatars who took refuge at the head of the city wall!
