Chapter 192: Anger Blooms Purgatory Flowers All Over the World

"The time has come!"

The Song artillery no longer roared, and Temujin was keenly aware of this, and after two attempts, he gave the order for a general attack. At present, the situation in Taizhuang is scorching, and the situation is tilting in favor of the Mongols, and he is convinced that he can completely crush the strong army in front of him by attacking at this time.

He held this place for three days with 20,000 men, and although his attacks on the first two days were only temptations, his attacks today were real. Under such inferior forces, it can still hold out in his hands, which can be regarded as a strong army.

"But the ultimate winner on the battlefield is still me...... It's always me. ”

The hedgehogs that came from Menghu did shake the Song army's defensive line, and they began to retreat, although not in a collapsed way, but they did retreat.

"Li Guozhi, let's go." Li Ye turned his face to Li Yi and said.

There was a deep tiredness in his eyes, because he had seen many familiar people die in battle, he didn't give Li Yilao any blessings, and he didn't even say "come back alive".

What Li Yilao has to do will be a major event that will turn the tide of the war.

He touched his bald head and put his helmet back on, his face was heavily dirty from the smoke of the gunfire. straightened his helmet, and he saluted Li Ye as a righteous young man, Li Ye was stunned, and also replied.

"Come with me!" Holding something tightly in one hand, Li Yilao roared angrily.

"Kill!"

Behind him, two hundred blood-soaked warriors roared in unison. They want to cover Li Yilao and let him complete the reversal of the tide of the battle.

These two hundred men were insignificant in the whole battle, and they stabbed Menghu like a needle. Menghu, who had broken through the gap between Song Siyi and Shi Dascoo, had just been driven back by the loyal army led by Tian Jiehu and Wu Quan, and this time they faced the Liuqiu army led by Li Yilao and Wu Fang.

Throughout, the Liuqiu Army's strict military discipline was almost harsh, so that even in this obvious downtrend, this unit still maintained a strong will to fight. Under their infection, even the loyal and righteous army, which was accustomed to fleeing and scattering, also became tenacious and tenacious.

"This can't be done, this can't be done, this can't be done!" Wu Fang muttered nagging, as if this would curse Menghu to death. He stood at the head of this little array of guns, and with every nagging he made, a Menghu was killed by him or the robes on either side of him with a short spear and a crossbow. At such close range, the accuracy and suddenness of the crossbow were greatly exerted, and Menghu wanted to rush up to meet the battle with his personal bravery, but he was shot by the crossbow several meters away.

The crossbow had only six bolts in its box, and when they had finished shooting, they threw away their crossbows and began to assault with their guns. In an instant, their efforts paid off, and the gap was closed again. But their own casualties were also very heavy, more than a third of them fell forever, and the rest were wounded.

"Here, here!"

Li Yilao quickly picked up the corpse, looking for his target, and soon, he found the half-cut leather tube buried in the soil, and he swung his knife to cut the leather pipe, revealing the iron pipe inside. He stretched out a finger and pulled out a thin rope from the iron pipe, then took out a thin matchstick from the small wooden box in his hand, and as he struck it, the fire was blown out because of the wind. As he swiped the second one, the blood came from nowhere and extinguished the match again.

"Thief Bird!"

He roared and struck a third match.

This is the latest product in the stream, and there are sixty matches in a small box. The flames jumped from his head, and Li Yilao was about to set the string on fire, when a Menghu suddenly rushed from the guards and slashed at him with his sword, and Li Yilao threw himself forward, protecting the rope with his body.

The knife slashed into his back, and despite the armor, he still felt the pain as if it had been split in half. The third match went out again, and he didn't care about the Menghu at all, but lit the fourth.

Wu Fang gritted his teeth and pounced on that Menghu, this guy was extremely fierce, all the way to here, at least four or five guards were killed by him, and Wu Fang was desperate to hold his arm. A guard took advantage of this opportunity to pierce his chest with a spear, almost nailing Wu Fang hanging on him in one place.

"That's it!" Li Yilao jumped to his feet, picked up a knife, and shouted loudly.

"Retreat!"

Li Ye yelled in the back, although he knew that Li Yilao could not hear it.

At the foot of Li Yilao, in the middle of the earth, among the iron pipes and bamboo pipes, countless fuses ignited each other, quickly spreading the fire of revenge to one predetermined location after another.

In order to prevent some fuses from being ignited, these fuses buried in bamboo pipes and pottery pipes are often broken in one place, and they can be burned from other places.

After receiving the news of Wang Yu's murder, Li Yilao rushed to the scene, and at the same time carried a secret weapon made by Ao Sayang, the first weapon master of Liuqiu, with a new gunpowder formula, which was a mine and other weapons that were carefully kept in those large wooden boxes. Li Yilao is the number one demolition division, how to lay mines, how to tow letters, how to make this minefield more hidden, he is the best at it!

From under the destroyed fortress of Taizhuang to between the two armies 500 meters away, a total of 2,400 mines were buried underground, and the location of each one was memorized by Li Yilao. When the defenders were bombarded, they never used solid shells, but shotguns, for fear of igniting these mines in advance. The fuses that connect these mines are also specially made and ignite extremely quickly.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The first sound was followed by a series of explosions. Within five minutes, almost all of the 2,400 mines had exploded, and most of the swarming Menghu were within the range of the mines.

These 2,400 mines are not the deadliest weapons, but even more lethal are the glass tanks buried next to the mines. The tightly sealed glass tank contained either a simple explosive pack, or a strange liquid similar to what was later called the "Molotov cocktail" but is now called "Osa Yang Urine", or simply sulfuric acid made from the Keelung smelter, and such sulfuric acid bottles are usually placed in the same place as the vials containing salt crystals and iron powder. As for the rest of the things that Ao Sayang fiddled out in the laboratory, it was Ao Sayang himself, but he was afraid that he didn't understand its function.

The explosion caused the flames of the explosion to quickly ignite the flammable liquid, and in an instant, countless Menghu and their horses turned into fireballs, screaming and spreading the fire to nearby companions, alive or dead.

After the explosion of the sulfuric acid bottle, the sulfuric acid itself is extremely corrosive, not to mention, when it is together with table salt, it releases hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen chloride reacts with iron powder scattered everywhere to directly produce hydrogen. Although this short period of time does not produce much hydrogen, it is enough to detonate the flames in the battlefield.

Song Jun covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, and many of the gases produced in this explosion were poisonous, and if they were transmitted to them, they would also be harmed. Unlike Menghu, who preferred to use human and animal carcasses to spread the plague for germ warfare, Liuqiu preferred to conduct chemical warfare with chemical reactions that Menghu could not yet understand.

Liuqiu's strong industrial production capacity and scientific and technological strength beyond Menghu's imagination are perfectly combined in this minefield. The successive explosions made Menghu have nowhere to dodge, and their cries turned into wails, and they realized at this time that their lives were so fragile in the face of technology.

In the years of killing and looting, the myths forged by barbarism and ferocity disappeared at the same time as their bodies in an instant.

At the same time, the catapults hidden in the Song army's artillery positions began to throw huge glass tanks, which were filled with fierce fire oil and coal tar, and after they fell to the ground and exploded, the oil juice inside splashed everywhere, adding countless gorgeous fireballs to the battlefield that was already like purgatory.

Temujin and his cowardly army were not in the minefield, and they watched with horror as the flames erupted from the ground engulfing the bands of muffled, and their own people vanished into clouds of fire and smoke. Their horses were neighing uneasily, and although they were accustomed to the sound of cannons, the explosion of such momentum still made some of them lose control and scurry wildly.

"Immortal Heaven!"

Temujin raised his hand, his eyes straightened, and the whip in his hand slipped imperceptibly to the ground. He muttered, as if begging for the blessing of his void immortal heaven.

However, that Immortal Heaven had completely abandoned him.

The huge and continuous explosion set off a wave of qi that rushed straight into the sky, followed by mushroom-shaped yellow clouds, countless pieces of earth, sand and dust, and severed limbs and stumps fell, and then lightning and thunder in the sky began to drip red blood rain.

The real rain of blood is also mixed with the smell of fish.

Not only Temujin was stunned, but Li Ye was also stunned, and even Li Yilao, who lit the mines, was also stunned.

In order to achieve maximum power, when Li Ye fought with Menghu in Xia Village, he led his gunners to survey the terrain in front of Taizhuang. But when the goal he was striving for became a reality, he was still stunned.

A man pushed his feet away and struggled to prop himself up, and he woke up.

That person was Shi Dascoop, who had just fainted, and was awakened by the continuous explosions.

"Kill, kill!" He was still a little delirious, so he let out a hoarse cry, thinking that he was still fighting a bloody battle with the enemy.

In the brief silence that followed the explosion, his voice was unusually harsh. Immediately afterward, dozens, hundreds, and thousands of shouts of killing rang out.

Regardless of the casualties of Menghu in the minefield, at least the Menghu who are currently engaged in the battle with the Song army have lost their fear, they still don't know what happened, the Song people obviously did not fire artillery, but why are they blooming everywhere in their own army?

"Immortal Heaven!" Temujin prayed to his immortal heaven for the second time, this time his eyes filled with fear, and the ferocity that had sustained him for decades had now vanished with his courage.

It was not only the Taizhuang that resounded with the sound of killing, but also in the east of him, in the distant sky, countless killing voices shouted from the mouths of the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army. If it had been any other time, Temujin would not have looked at these rabble, but now it is not.

"Retreat, retreat!" He shouted, and the first to turn the horse's head around.

There was no need to look at the remnants of the minefield, Temujin already knew that he had lost this battle. Not only did the casualties leave him with no more troops to charge, but the incomprehensible tragic death made his remaining subordinates lose their fighting spirit. He himself saw more than one of his subordinates splashed on his body by something caused by an underground explosion, and then white smoke began to bubble and wail on his body, and his muscles were rotten in an instant.

This is the curse of the evil ghost, and he doesn't know if the Song people have a more terrifying weapon than this.

If he can return to the north of the Great Wall before the Song people completely cut off his retreat, then he still has a chance to make a comeback, but if the Song army from the Qinghe River and the Song army at the mouth of Zhigu are also as strong as the Song army encountered today......

He hadn't felt this run away in years.

"Kill!"

Li Ye's reaction was even slower than that of the old man, and Temujin turned his horse's head before Li Ye gave the order to his reserves. The troops, which still had their strength to this day, began to gallop like horses with all their strength, and they passed through the reserved safe zone, mercilessly sweeping away all the enemies who stood in their way.

Li Ye's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground, panting violently.

Xiaoqinghe's interception of the retreat, the bombardment of Zhigu Village, and even the choice of this village as the place to block Menghu and carry out a decisive battle were all decisions made by the Son of Heaven, but the commander of this front line was him, although he had never killed the enemy with his own hands, but he was more tired than fighting in front of the two armies for an hour.

Before the smoke clouds of the minefield explosion had cleared, he put his face in the palm of his hand, chuckled dryly twice, and then stood up again. Although the battle is decided, there are still many things waiting for him to clean up.

If the Son of Heaven knew about this battle, I wonder if he would be overjoyed...... The Son of Heaven must be anxiously waiting for the front-line battle report at this time, and he finally did not disappoint him!

"Thank you."

Hugging Yang Miaozhen's body, Zhao Youju said in a low voice, he was still slightly panting, but after Fang Cai's exercise, his original nervous, uneasy and anxious emotions had completely calmed down. He can also think about things calmly as he usually does.

Yang Miaozhen gently pinched his body: "What did the official say thank you?" ”

Zhao Youju smiled dumbly, indeed, what did he say thank you.

"Fourth lady, as soon as the battle on the front line is over, you will set off to return to beg, these days have made you stuffy in the palace, and it has really hurt you." Zhao Heju patted her hand gently: "Remember what I said, take away all those little girls, so that they don't dangle in front of me." ”

"You just eat one or two, see if I don't stab you with a pear blossom gun!" Yang Miaozhen glanced at him and said with a vinegar taste.

The two of them both smiled, hugged each other gently, and after a moment of warmth, Yang Miaozhen said again: "Those little girls might as well take them to beg, it's just what you said...... It's very inappropriate, I discussed it with Su Sui, and she said that doing this would hurt the hearts of the courtiers. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Youju raised his eyebrows slightly.

"After all, they are all girls from official eunuchs, in the eyes of the official family and the concubines, our righteous young people are naturally worthy of them, but in the eyes of their parents and their own families, the righteous young people may not be able to match." Yang Miaozhen pursed her lips and expressed her disdain for this statement: "If the official family makes an order, then they naturally dare not disobey, but in such a marriage, they are not happy, and our righteous young people are not happy, so why bother?" ”

"But I didn't think about it......"

Hearing Yang Miaozhen say this, Zhao Youju nodded, and had to admit his mistake.

"But the sister of the Su family said that she is very willing to help with the marriage of the young man, these little girls in the palace are not suitable, but many of her close friends are very suitable." Yang Miaozhen smiled again: "Your Majesty doesn't know, she is very enthusiastic about saying things for others, and she is a good woman, she actually likes to talk about matchmaking for others, and she is honestly ashamed of me." ”

In just a few sentences, Yang Miaozhen changed the name of Zhao Youju, and Zhao Youju knew that this was her naughtiness, so she just smiled faintly.

"The rain seems to have stopped...... After the two calmed down, Zhao and Ju listened attentively, and then patted Yang Miaozhen: "I'll get up first, after the rain stops, it is estimated that someone will come to bother me." ”

Before the words fell, an attendant outside shouted from afar: "Yu Tianxi of Lin'an Mansion asks for Your Majesty!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhao and Ju were extremely unhappy with the eunuchs, but the affairs of the harem could not be separated from the eunuchs, so what he could do was to reduce the number of eunuchs, and at the same time order the eunuchs to stay a little farther away from him.

"Let him wait in Boya Building, and I'll go later." Zhao and Ju also raised their voices and said.

Not long after, Zhao and Ju arrived at Boya Building, and Yu Tianxi was about to salute when he saw him, but he pulled him up.

"Qing and I are extraordinary, and in this Boya Building, the gift is exempt." Zhao and Ju ordered the chamberlain to move a chair, and after Yu Tianxi sat down, he said, "Qing came this time, what is the matter?" ”

"The minister is here for the last "Jinghua Secret News"." Yu Tianxi's expression was a little uneasy.

"Oh?" Zhao Youju raised his eyebrows slightly, the so-called "Jinghua Secret News" was actually Yu Tianxi's evasion, and what he wanted to say was that someone entered the palace to assassinate him. It's just that he has let Huo Chongcheng keep an eye on this matter these days, but there is no news from Huo Chongcheng there, how can Yu Tianxi have information?

"The minister has ascertained the identity of Na Mu Chun, who was originally a fugitive and had received the grace of adversity." Yu Tianxi said slowly: "Some people testify that the one who took the lead in smashing Jichanglong is their gang. Mu Chun's family has been found, but ...... There are only his fathers and mothers in his family, and there are no brothers, wives and children, and his parents have never received any news of what is behind the scenes. ”

"In other words, the thread is broken again......" Zhao Youju frowned and nodded.

"The minister is incompetent......"

"It has nothing to do with you, it's just that the man is too cunning, and every move is far-sighted." Zhao Youju looked at Yu Tianxi, just for this matter, he shouldn't come to find himself at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a doubt...... I'm not sure yet, I don't know if it's right to say. Yu Tianxi pondered for a while, and finally spoke.

"Yu Qing, I said, my relationship with you is extraordinary, just say it if you have something."

"When Ji rebelled and deceived the first emperor, Shi Miyuan fought with him, and he repeatedly gained the upper hand at the beginning, but later he ...... I don't know who made suggestions for Ji Rebellion, which caused His Majesty to inherit the great treasure There were twists and turns. Speaking of this matter, Yu Tianxi was somewhat embarrassed, and he said cautiously, as far as possible not to offend Zhao Youju's taboo: "At that time, Shi Miyuan's eyeliner beside Ji Yi said that Ji Yi got a think tank and was a very powerful person, but who this think tank was, Shi Miyuan never found out until he was driven by His Majesty." The mastermind behind the matter of "Jinghua Secrets" is similar to that person's means, so it ...... Suspicion is a rebellion! ”

Note 1: Landmines were actually used in the Battle of Shaanzhou in 1130, and in the Battle of Kaifeng in 1232 (five years later), the Jin people defeated the Mongols with weapons similar to mines.

Note 2: There is no need to delve into the technical content of mine fuses, chemical reactions, explosion power and other technical contents in this chapter, remember one thing, the title of this book is Goldfinger, and the author is a liberal arts student.
