Chapter 592

Siege warfare in the era of cold weapons was very tragic, and after the existence of incendiary bombs and bombs, siege warfare was even more tragic.

Since the first day of the siege, the city of Antioch has been filled with the smell of barbecue. Dozens of corpses were often entangled, burned to dry human-shaped char. The stones beneath the walls were also charred black, and they were stained with yellow corpse oil.

The flies landed on the corpse oil, sucking greedily. But if you want to fly again, it's too difficult. Soon, the walls were covered with patches of flies. Then, those charcoal-like corpses were crawling with maggots with white flowers.

Yun Hao, who was helpless, could only let people throw down the oil and burn it again!

Numerous flies can spread diseases, and these little things can contaminate water and food with impunity. The only thing that can deal with them is fire and flame!

There were too many fires and flames, and the immediate consequence was that the walls became unstrong. Human oil makes the fire extremely fierce and burns for a long time. The boulder city wall has been burned for several days, and it has also become crispy. What's more, there are constantly death squads rushing up with gunpowder bags. Trying to blast a gap in the city wall, the Great Cannibal has an absolute advantage in numbers. As long as the walls collapse, their advantages can be brought into play.

The big cannibal is crazy, and tens of thousands of lives have been filled in for a gap. But those crazy disciples still kept rushing up. Those charcoal-like compatriots under their feet were trampled to pieces by countless pairs of big feet. Even the hardest skull, when crushed, only makes a soft "click" sound.

Then they were engulfed in fire and became new charred corpses. And then they were also crushed and merged with their predecessors, regardless of each other and you and me.

Yun Hao seems to be at a loss for this, and the number of bombs is very small. And the supply was extremely difficult, which made Yun Hao have to think twice when using it. The weather was good, and the airship could be used. But the problem is that the big cannibals have learned wisely, and arranged a circle of hot air balloons around their camp.

These things have no motivation and cannot participate in the offensive. It can be used for defense, but it is still good, and the thick crossbow bolts on it have an unusually lethal power against a huge airship. Especially when those crossbow arrows are ignited and turned into rockets, the lethality is even more damn great.

Huge airships fly through the air, and even if they can move, they are still the target of those crossbow arrows. The helpless airship can only be far away from those hot air balloons, and the ideal result of the two sides shooting each other is to die together.

Yun Hao didn't want to trade his own soldiers for those stupid cannibals.

There were more and more ashes and charred corpse fragments under the city walls, and then their efforts were rewarded!

After ten days of fierce battles, the walls of Antioch finally collapsed.

The caliph rode on a tall horse and seemed to jump as he looked at the walls of Antioch in the distance. The Tang soldiers standing on that section of the city wall flew up as if they had wings.

The sound was not loud, it was dull, and the shock wave from the explosion made it impossible to breathe for a moment. The horses let out a wailing and kept standing still, and the shaking ground made them feel extremely uncomfortable, and when they saw the gravel falling not far in front of the horse, the caliph excitedly shouted: "Ahhhh ”

A tsunami-like cheer erupted in the cannibal army, and countless people raised their weapons in their hands and shouted like madmen. The daredevils have already killed them with red eyes. A gap more than a dozen feet long was blown open in the walls of Antioch, and the tidal wave of great food soldiers poured into the gap.

Muhammad was the first to burrow into the smoke-filled place, and when they reappeared, they were already in the city, the tall city walls turned into rubble and scattered in the city of Anshi, a group of Tang soldiers lay quietly in the pile of rubble, whether they were injured or alive, as if they were resigned to fate, a Tang soldier who was dragging a broken leg to crawl between the stones, saw the big cannibal rushing in, howled, and picked up a stone and threw it.

Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, he had done his best. But there were still huge casualties in his own army, and I just saw it very clearly. On that section of the city wall, there were nearly 100 Tang soldiers. At this time, I'm afraid no one will survive.

"Close the gap with fire!" Yun Hao's command, and immediately a trebuchet sent countless incendiary bombs to the place where the gap was. The thousands of Great Food Eaters who rushed in turned into a bunch of fire men who only knew screaming and burning.

Their cries were so miserable that even the stones were burning in the breaches. This has become a hell ruled by fire, this place does not belong to the living, only to evil spirits, this is not a human world, this is a hell.

The caliph's eyes shrank like pinnoses, and he almost forgot that he had only opened a gap in the walls of Antioch with the ecstasy of the moment. With a gap, it is absolutely impossible to conquer a city as large as Antioch.

"Trebuchets fired at the city walls, bringing more gunpowder up. We need a wider notch! Brothers of the Holy Church, let us rush to that gap one more time. Rush again, and the Prophet will see your bravery. Your souls will go to the kingdom of heaven, where there is milk and honey and rivers where ninety-nine chaste virgins await you.

Brothers of the Holy Sect, rush! Harry wielded the scimitar in his hand and personally encouraged the fanatics of the Holy Church to charge. He knew that as long as he defeated the Tang people. The Middle East will be its own, and after conquering Antioch, the next one is Jerusalem.

As long as the Holy City returns to the hands of ***, then he will be blessed with infinite religious prestige. The whole *** world will be prostrate at his feet, and he will become a real king at that time.

As for the corpses that died on the side of the road for their own king's road. The caliph can't manage so much, and it will be a success. Everyone will only remember the famous general, not the nameless people who fell on the road.

Once again, the fanaticism of the believers was ignited, and a large number of people rushed to the city of Antioch with gunpowder bags on their backs. As soon as he put his hands on the wall, the man next to him lit the powder pack.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the broken city wall was enlarged little by little. Human life was so worthless at this time, and some were burned to charcoal. Some of them were blown to pieces, and there were no broken bricks on the ground where they were notched. All ashes and charred corpses!

Just after noon, the offensive reached its climax. Under the attack of human life, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. At first, it was only a dozen zhang long, and now it has reached more than 20 zhang, and there is a growing trend.

The caliph also went out and stood in front of the battle to stir up morale. The followers of the Holy Religion saw the caliph himself supervising the battle behind him, and the fanatics became even more fanatical. They went crazy and tore down the walls, slashing with knives, picking them with their hands, and biting them with their teeth!

The caliph looked at all this, his eyes moistened a little, he was safe. It's safe even before the battle. He is protected by a hot air balloon on his head, and he is out of range of his trebuchet. The Tang people could not hurt themselves, but those soldiers had to brave the sea of fire and the rain of arrows, risking their lives to realize the great ambition of the caliph.

Yun Hao stood on the city wall and looked at the guy who was riding a beautiful war horse. With every swing of the saber in his hand, the Great Food Soldiers cheered like the waves of the sea.

"That is the Great Cannibal Caliph?" Yun Hao pointed to the guy who was constantly wielding his sword in the distance and asked the Arab elders beside him. He was a native of Antioch and had met the caliph before.

"Yes! Your Excellency the Duke, that is the Caliph himself. I'm old, but I won't be mistaken. He is the only one who can make the soldiers so fanatical. The Arab elder looked at it for a while before he said with certainty.

"What a fearless guy, he thinks Lao Tzu only has trebuchets?" Yun Hao smiled and shook his head, ignorance had made the caliph make a huge mistake. He thought that the only thing that threatened him was an airship, or a trebuchet erected on the city walls.

But inside Yun Hao's pocket, there was another very deadly weapon. Although the number of such weapons is small!

The two cannons had already been brought up, and now Yun Hao gave an order. The gunners of both guns began to aim, and the theoretical firing range of the guns could reach five miles. But at that distance, the accuracy is not negotiable.

The gunners calculated that the caliph was two and a half miles away from the city walls. It's not far, but it's definitely not close. If you want to hit accurately, it is still quite difficult.

"With a flowering bullet!" Seeing the gunner with a difficult face, Yun Hao issued a new order.

As soon as they heard that they were going to use flowering shells, the gunners were stunned. This type of shell is very difficult to make, and there are now only five in the Western Expeditionary Army. It seems that Grandpa Guo is really anxious this time, and he actually used a flowering bomb.

The gunner reloads as fast as he can, and the gun commander nervously calculates the angle. They are all high-achieving students who have graduated from the academy, and they can already use the most basic trigonometric functions to calculate the landing point of the shell.

After adjusting the angle, the gun commander glanced at Yun Hao.

"Put! As long as you kill him, it doesn't matter if all five shells are fired. Yun Hao was ruthless, he knew that the caliph was the soul of the whole army. As long as he is killed, the army on the opposite side will not be attacked by the Tang army, and they will collapse on their own.

There are so many of their sects, and the previous contradictions are so deep. If you want to fight together, only the caliph can do it.

Once again, the gunner determined the angle of the gun, and at the sound of the order, the gunner lit the fuse. The fuse "呲" and "呲" burned, bursting out with brilliant sparks.

"Boom" and "Boom" The two cannons made a loud noise one after the other, and Yun Hao watched nervously with a telescope. In the caliph's position, two clouds of smoke rose up.

"Reload! Load! The gun commander shouted by pulling his neck.

Yun Hao clearly saw that the cannonball exploded in front of the caliph's eyes. Although it didn't hit the caliph directly, this guy must not be better. The great cannibals around him poured like a tidal wave towards the caliph. Yun Hao felt that it would be a good thing for them to trample the caliph to death.

The gunners reloaded as fast as they could, swearing they had never reloaded their shells so quickly in their lives.

"Boom" and "boom" were the explosion of two cannon shots, and Yun Hao saw two clouds of smoke rising from the crowd again. This time was different from the last time, and with the explosion, there were also human stumps and severed arms flying all over the sky.

"That's it!" Yun Hao shook his head and commanded helplessly.

Harry found out that if he was dead, he would be dead, and if he wasn't dead, it would be impossible to blow him up.

Yun Hao was right, the caliph was rescued back to the camp in the distance as quickly as possible.

The cannonball did not directly hit the caliph, but many of the fragments of the shell explosion were embedded in the caliph's body. He was bleeding all over his body, and he didn't know how many wounds there were.

The beautiful cuirass had been shot through three large holes, and blood was gushing out of the holes. The attendant wanted to cover it with his hands, but he couldn't cover it no matter how he could.

The caliph's face was as white as a piece of paper, and his eyes were half-open and half-closed. If it weren't for the heaving of his chest, he would be no different from a dead man.

The Imperial Physician quickly stripped the caliph of all his clothes, and kept washing the blood from his body with water.

There were many wounds on his body, and the small ones were only the size of his thumb. The large wound was as open as a child's mouth, and the red muscles were scary to look at.

"Ahh Cough! Cough! Cough! The caliph seemed to want to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth he began to cough. With every cough, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"If he dies, let you be buried with him." Muhammad, who had hurried back, grabbed the doctor by the neck and shouted.

"Then you can kill me, no one can cure such an injury." The imperial doctor said helplessly, he is a doctor, not an immortal.

"You're ......!" Muhammad had no choice but to let go of the doctor. In fact, it was a miracle that Harry found out that he was still alive.

The caliph stretched out his bloodied hand and grabbed Muhammad's arm.

The gripping force is very much like a drowning person meeting a savior, and the green tendons in his hands have collapsed. That hand should be called a claw now!

Muhammad's claw was in great pain, and he wanted to shake it off but didn't dare. The caliph's eyes widened sharply, and he looked directly at Muhammad. The look looked like that of a hungry wolf, and his body stood straight up.

"Uh......!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the caliph lay heavily on the rich Persian carpet.

The hand that grabbed Muhammad's arm hung limply.

Muhammad's heart was cold, and the caliph died. The great caliph died like this......!

What about the hundreds of thousands of troops here? What to do with the city of Antioch, which has been attacked for many days and paid a heavy price? The caliph is gone, and what can be done with the place he left behind. Who will be the next *** world master!

One puzzle after another no one could solve, and Mohammed stood demented. Without noticing, many people in the tent ran out. Within a few moments, news of the death of the caliph spread throughout the camp of the Great Cannibals.
