These are not the scariest of all. The most terrifying thing was the chain-ball "fire oil bomb" that the Ming army learned from the Qing army, when a large number of chariots of the Qing army approached the burning riverbank, a large number of small fireballs flew out of the riverbank.

The range of these chain-ball "fire oil bombs" is not very far, at best it is only more than 30 meters. It's just that its accuracy is much more accurate than other projectile weapons, and a well-trained soldier can easily hit a vehicle heading through the river with such a fireball.

As soon as this little thing falls to the ground, it forms a large burning "carpet" that is difficult to extinguish before the oil is consumed. Even if the chariot passed over it, it would burn because it was stained with oil.

"Boom" The chariots of the Qing army were ignited in the river, and the fire oil and liquor flowing everywhere sent the flames to every corner of the chariots.

For such a flame, the people in the chariot did not have much to think about. Ten people hurriedly used their clothes or other household items to fight the flames that flowed around them. They pedaled on and on for a moment, and while the chariot was on fire, their only chance of survival was to reach the shallow edge of the opposite bank. Otherwise, in the river water, I am afraid that I will freeze to death.

Groups of soldiers arrived at the chariots on the banks of the enemy's river, jumped down and took a slight look behind the chariots, and then immediately attacked the fortresses in front of them, knowing that only by attracting the fire of these fortresses could the subsequent chariots land smoothly.

Bolo rode a chariot to the river bank, as far as he knew, the battle on the river had been fought for nearly an hour (two hours), and the loss of chariots reached more than 20 times, but now the "Suzhou Defense Line" was still in the hands of the Ming army's miscellaneous troops.

With a blushing face, Bolo stood on top of a chariot and looked at the river bank on the opposite bank with the "clairvoyant mirror" in his hand. On the opposite bank of the river, a large number of rejected horses were damaged or burned by the dense artillery fire of the Qing army, and a considerable number of chariots of the first attack wave had already arrived near the shore.

A group of soldiers raised the "spear-type crossbow" in their hands to attack the fortress in front, but the "small fireballs" flying from near the fortress fell on the river bank, and many chariots and horses burned on the fire, which became a "wall of fire" that prevented the Qing army from going ashore.

At the gap where the fire was not ignited, the soldiers who jumped from the chariots, moving their tired legs and feet, slowly crawled to the slope on the river bank that the Ming army had specially piled up with earth.

Since the transmission chain of the Qing army's chariot was all bronze chains made by craftsman Wang Chang, it consumed a lot of "potential energy", and the weight of the chariot was heavier than that of the chariot used by the Ming army, so it was naturally much more laborious to drive.

The vicinity of the river bank is the place where the Ming army's "bird gun" and "flying crossbow" and other light weapons are taken care of. A fallen soldier shot all the short arrows fired by the "Flying Divine Crossbow", or fell under the "banging" of firearms.

On the river bank here, the cannons and rockets are still bombarding the opponent's second line of defense. Even so, from the beginning to the present, the opponent's resistance has not only not weakened, but has even tended to strengthen.

In the face of this iron-blooded battlefield that he had never imagined, the cruelty of this war in which a large number of firearms were fought was more terrible than that of cold weapons at that time, and the rate at which he consumed soldiers was much greater than the casualties of most swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

"Report ...... Da Shuai...... The first wave of chariots suffered heavy losses, and begged the commander to send reinforcements......"

Bolo looked at the herald and just nodded. Now he began to think strongly of Crossbow Mountain, the brave Jurchen warrior who used the mace, if ...... If he had led the first wave of attacks, he would have already reached the riverbank.

"Lost more than 100 chariots...... The defense of this riverbank is also strong enough......! Bolo sighed in his heart as he lifted the "clairvoyant mirror" and continued to look forward. Many chariots arrived at the river, but the soldiers could not face the dense bullets and crossbow arrows, so they had to hide in the waist-deep cold river behind the chariots, and bravely used all the weapons in their hands to fight against the Ming soldiers on the shore.

"Alas!" Bolo's face was motionless, like every big battle, it was the most cold and calm expression, but looking at the fallen soldiers in the "Clairlight Mirror", he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Alas, you can't help but attract the attention of the enemy here, and now you only hope that the chariots going down the canal and around the Taihu Lake will arrive sooner."

At the same time that Bolo's first fleet of chariots attacked the Ming army's "Suzhou Defense Line", the attack on the canal was also not smooth.

When the Shenzhou Army's staff designed a defensive system for the "Suzhou Defense Line" applied by Lu Jianguo, it had already noticed that the Qing army might use ships along the canal, or the amphibious function of combat vehicles to carry out sneak attacks.

The Grand Canal of Beijing Airlines is about 50 meters wide, which is not very wide. However, it would be very dangerous for the enemy to force their way through the flanks of the defensive line with fast ships and chariots. Therefore, there is a "Shengwu Army" attached to the Suzhou side, and the "Suzhou Defense Line" and the canal intersection to build a strong fortress along the river such a preventive work.

Thick cement pipes are laid out into the canal, stretching up to 10 meters on each side. Two reinforced concrete bunkers were built on top of it, but fortunately, the water of the canal was gentle, and the water flowed unimpeded through the cement pipes under the bunkers. The two pillboxes formed a strong "gate". The only weapons available are a few "fire trucks" and "flying crossbows", and there are 1,000 soldiers.

When Bolo first heard the news, he didn't know what a "fire truck" was, but only wanted to have only two forts guarding the canal, and there were only more than 1,000 guards, so it should be easy to pass through. Therefore, more than 500 chariots were assembled, and when the attack on the river bank was in full swing, the chariots here sneaked through the river and swept behind the "Suzhou Defense Line".

The strength of the Ming army in the "Suzhou Defense Line" was mainly concentrated in the first and second lines to resist the enemy. So Bolo sent only 5,000 troops and 500 chariots. Once these men landed behind the enemy's line, they only had to fight against a small number of defenders behind the enemy's line, and then attack them from the enemy's defense.

That night, when the Qing army's cross-river attack on the frontal front was blocked by more than 200 people on the "Suzhou Defense Line" and had already died on the battlefield, this armored unit quietly arrived along the river.

Even though the Qing army raided the place where "the cannon roared and the flames soared into the sky", there was not much movement here except for the light pillars of "a few stout and huge searchlights" that were constantly sweeping over the river.
