Chapter 692: Poisonous Smoke

"Shoot!" A salvo of fire arrows and a round of iron cannons on Bentenshan Mountain can be just a double blow.

Whoosh... Bang bang bang!

"Ugh!" "Ahh Whether it's Minfu or Hosokawa Ashigaru, the deeper you go into the valley, the easier it is to die.

"Hey... As soon as Heizaburo's trolley was in place, he turned around and ran, and Hosokawa Ashigaru, who had been hiding behind, stepped forward to light the fuse on the barrel.

Tick, sparks jump...

Heizaburo didn't blindly run back directly, but first ran to the opposite cliff, which is the farthest distance from Bentenzan, and it is also the dead end of the fire arrow, which belongs to the darkness under the lamp.

"Whew... Call... Call.... Heizaburo hurried back, not only to dodge the blows from above, but also to avoid the barrels that were emitting black smoke. His intuition told him that this thing was not simple, otherwise, Hosokawa would not have been able to spend a lot of money to transport these things.

"It should be almost... Whew... After this vote, I will not do it. "Three trips of transportation are enough for Heizaburo to live a relatively wealthy life for a year.

Soon, he ran back to the lower New Stone, and looked at the gate, where the north wind was howling tonight, and the passage was already smoky.

Heizaburo thought about it, and instead of running towards the gate, he climbed the ruins of Shimono Rock and ran down from the side gable.

He is smart and lucky at the same time.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

"Shoot! Keep shooting! The enemy wants to use the smoke to break through the valley! They must not be allowed to succeed! Kasumo Jiuqing ordered loudly, now that the fire bolt was useless, there was a lot of smoke in the valley, and the flames were swallowed directly if they fell into it.

"Haven't you been informed of the battle at Shangniushi yet?" Kawakami Tadashi is also highly vigilant, and the Hosokawa army must have some intentions when he does this. Now he has prepared various defensive materials such as roasting and falling rocks, and he only waits for the battle at Shangniushi, and he has determined that there are a large number of enemy troops in the valley, and he will drop them immediately.

Of course, if it was a bluff, he would not use these things, after all, the supplies are limited, but the iron cannon will not be stingy, and the reserves are extremely sufficient.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The sound of iron cannons echoed in the valley, but in fact, Hosokawa Ashigaru in the valley had already evacuated after lighting the lead.

Call... Call... The black smoke was rising one after another, and with the wind, it began to go up freely, and gradually approached the triple turret on Bentenzan Mountain.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The Tsugawa Iron Cannon Ashigaru was still in the window, firing downward.

"Uh... I... Uh..."Suddenly, a Tsugawa Ashigaru fell without warning.

"Huh? What happened to you? Where is it uncomfortable? The companion on the side saw it and stepped forward to help him with concern.

"Uh... How... I—" As a result, he didn't seem to feel well, and he fell down with him.

"Close the window! Close the window! Get ready to bake! As soon as the Hosokawa army enters the valley, give me the immediate throw! Kasumo Jiuqing noticed something unusual, but he thought it was smoke.

"It's almost time, pass the order, take the antidote in your mouth, put on your mask, and the whole army will advance!" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the location of the first floor of the Bentenzan anti-turret, and the smoke reflected in the torches.

"Yes!" Asakura Aiomaru lowered his leader's order, then turned around and shouted at the herald on the side, "Forward!" ā€

Whining... Whining... The conch blows...

"Kyoto prepares! An antidote in your mouth! Bring a mask! Advance! Akechi shouted loudly.

"Ahh

"Sakamoto Bei! An antidote in your mouth! Bring a mask! Advance! Sanada Masayuki led the team to follow.

Stompe... Stompe... The troops soon came to the lower new rock, and the front was so smog-filled that it was impossible to see the road.

Wise Guangzhong took out a small compass from his bosom, which was a compass. Then, facing the sky above the lower new stone, I took a look at the approximate location of the gate, looked at the direction of the pointer, and knew it by heart.

"Creeping forward!" As he spoke, Akechi lay on the ground and began to crawl forward, as the smoke went up to avoid direct contact.

Galagala... Hosokawa Ashigaru also lowered his body one after another and began to crawl forward...

At this time, an invisible killing is being staged in the Bentian Mountain defense turret...

"Hehe... Huh... "One Tsugawa Ashigaru had his eyes wide open, his breathing was short, and then his mouth grew big, and he died in a miserable state.

"He... Hertz... Uhh The other ashigaru had the opposite symptom of him, he clutched his chest in pain, his face flushed, his heart pounding so fast that he seemed to jump out of his throat, and finally died suddenly due to his fast heartbeat.

"Damn! What's going on! Pu Sheng Jiuqing covered his mouth and nose with rags, and from the very beginning, they closed the panes to keep the smoke out and avoid choking to death.

However, as if it didn't stop death from coming, the people around him began to die inexplicably, and the symptoms were different, and even contradictory.

"Uh... Oops... My chest hurts! What's going on... I'm clear... Obviously I haven't inhaled... Many... Smoke...", Kamo Jiuqing also died suddenly on the spot, and the entire layer of ashigaru seemed to be in a miasma, and fell down one after another.

Poisonous smoke, a sharp weapon for killing, is very vicious, originated in the Song Dynasty and carried forward in the Ming Dynasty. In particular, the application of the Franc machine cannon made the firearms of the Ming Dynasty go to a higher level, Jiao Yu's "Fire Dragon Artifact Formation" recorded many magical firearms and usages of the Ming army, including the world's first poison gas bomb: the poisonous fog god smoke cannon, and the world's first unmanned bomber: the fire crow.

But these things were so high-tech that they were classified at the time, and their value was equivalent to that of the atomic bomb. So... Hosokawa Nobumoto's poison gas is actually based on the poison smoke ball recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Wujing General Essentials".

Poison smoke ball, began in the Song Dynasty, the total weight of the smoke ball is five Song Jin, containing more than a dozen highly toxic substances such as grass black, croton, wolf poison, arsenic, etc., after igniting it is launched with a trebuchet, it will emit strong poisonous smoke when it falls into the enemy formation, and after the enemy smells the poisonous smoke, it will be poisoned in a short time, it is difficult to breathe, and the seven orifices bleed to death.

The most important poison in this is the wolf poison weed, also known as the broken intestine grass.

There is such a legend that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons every day, and got the solution. As long as the poisonous grass is in the stomach, Shennong will immediately swallow some of this spiritual grass, which can save the day.

Until one time, Shennong found a kind of vine with opposite leaves in a sunny place, and this vine had small pale yellow flowers on it, so Shennong picked a leaf and put it in his mouth to swallow.

But to his surprise, the toxicity soon set in, and some discomfort appeared. Shennong was about to swallow that kind of detoxification, but his intestines had already been broken into pieces, and he lost his life in this way. Hence the name of this plant.

Hosokawa Nobumoto modified it slightly, using saltpeter, cane sugar, and safflower oleander, put it in a pot, heat it over medium heat to fuse it together, and then put it in a wooden barrel while the mixture was still soft, and insert a lead to complete the poisonous smoke production.

Among them, saltpeter and sucrose react chemically and produce a large amount of smoke. Red oleander is a poisonous weed, with the same toxicity as the broken intestine grass, even if you accidentally inhale a little smoke after incineration, it will change the heart rate and poison to death.
