There was no battle inside the city gate, and most of the people on both sides of the enemy stood stupidly, even if the person who was still fighting to the death just now was within a knife distance, he also stopped the battle in his hand and stood stupidly.

All eyes were on one spot.

It was originally a small stone fortress, but now it has become a sea of fire.

Five minutes earlier, two centennial commanders had led a team into the city gates, and the stone fortress had left them helpless without siege weapons, and the lethality of several bed crossbows in the fort was so lethal that the people who rushed into the gate were about to be crushed back.

"Destroy Arrow Castle!" Under the protection of two soldiers, a hundred households opened the sealed steel cylinder around their waists, then took out a long porcelain bottle, lit the fire wool at the mouth of the porcelain bottle and threw it out. Immediately afterwards, another hundred households did the same, and threw out one of the two pieces in his hand.

The second was not ignited, but was ignited by the flame of the first.

The fire was burning, and the enemy soldiers poured water on it with buckets of water that had been prepared long ago.

The water poured out on the flames, and instead of extinguishing the fire, it caused the fire to splash up, and the fire splashed on the body. Some soldiers hurriedly slapped the fire with their hands, and the flames were glued to their hands, but wherever the flames were glued, they were constantly burning. Rolling on the ground, or pouring sand upwards, the flame was not extinguished by any means.

In the absence of modern fire extinguishers, a small amount of sand is not enough to suffocate the fire of the white phosphorus incendiary bomb, so the only way is to let the fire burn completely until it stops on its own.

The two sides who were fighting stopped, and none of the people in the arrow fort were alive, and the people who were stuck to the outside with even a single flame also died in the screams, even if they only burned to a small part. The people who were close to each other also fell one by one.

With a clang, the knife in the hand of an enemy soldier fell to the ground.

The 100-man leader who threw the incendiary bomb first untied another steel cylinder from his waist. handed it to a soldier next to him: "Hold it steady, hold it carefully!" ”

The soldier held it in both hands, and both his own people and the enemy had a deep sense of fear when they saw the steel cylinder. The soldiers of Nurgandus were also trained before the war and knew the horror of this flame. But even if I heard it at the time, I didn't see it with my own eyes.

The last barracks. Two soldiers stood in front of the camp gate with sealed steel cylinders, and the hundred-man commander who surrendered the enemy only went over and said a few words, and the entire barracks surrendered.

The war was over, and from the beginning to the end, this fortress was not used for even an hour.

All the cylinders were returned, including the two empty cylinders after two incendiary bombs.

Yang Xin carefully put it back into the big box again, such a box only has twelve steel cylinders in one box, and there is a layer of steel cups on the outside of the steel cylinder, which is filled with water. And then there's saltpeter. Yang Xin explained: "If the weather is too hot, you have to keep adding water to cool down, which says that you can fry yourself in the sun on dog days, so you should keep it carefully." ”

In the capital, this thing is placed in the cellar, and it will never be allowed to be stored in a place with a temperature of more than forty degrees. The people of the Daming Ordnance Bureau are also studying how to make a new generation of products with high safety, which is too dangerous. Dangerous to the enemy, but also dangerous to one's own people.

The leader of Korqin sat in the tent of the former defender of the fortress. After a few sips of mare's milk wine, he exhaled a long breath.

"Daming is getting stronger and stronger." One of the leaders said with emotion.

Another person also said: "That bear slaughter cannon is fierce enough, one shot can kill a piece in front of you." But the bone-eroding ghost fire makes people scared when they think about it, it's good that thing sticks a little bit of courage to dig up the meat, if it sticks too much, it can only be a death. ”

The leader of Horqin took out a box of matches from the Ming Dynasty: "This match actually has that kind of thing, I heard that the Ming people made it from the bones of pigs, sheep and cows." That bone-eroding ghost fire was enough to make a million boxes of matches. "Say it. The leader of Korqin wiped the match on the parchment and stared blankly at the flames.

"Matches aren't that scary!" One of the leaders was puzzled

"Didn't you say it, only one of the million boxes of matches can be put forward with that bone-eroding ghost fire, you must know that the people of the Ming Dynasty are also using matches, how can this thing hurt people. I think there's something else terrible in that thing. The contents of this match are only part of it. ”

In fact, it is a white phosphorus incendiary bomb, which in modern times, but anyone who has taken a high school chemistry class knows what it is.

But in this era, the horror of this thing far exceeds human knowledge, and even exceeds the belief in gods.

The entire Bayintumen fortress was quiet and terrifying, and many people ran to see the burned arrow fort. Until the large army arrived, they were confused by the strange silence, and many of the large army ran to see the Arrow Fort.

Several shamanic shamans in the army approached Yang Xin and strongly demanded that Yang Xin bury the two boxes in the ground, and then dig a ditch around them, and constantly cool the boxes with cool spring water. And they should be allowed to perform rituals and sacrifices so that the demons from hell would not hurt their own people.

Yang Xin was very helpless, and wanted to say that this thing was called learning in the Ming Dynasty, not witchcraft.

But after all, this is a grassland, and nine out of ten people in this fortress believe in shamanism.

There was also a living man who was sacrificed, one of the archers in the enemy army who had killed three soldiers on this side. Yang Xin's subordinates thought it was not good to sacrifice the living, but Yang Xin said: "This is the grassland, not our Daming, don't make trouble for yourself." Don't you see that the enemy troops who surrendered also agree with this sacrifice? ”

"Well, what the head says, I just hope they don't soak our treasure."

"It's okay, that thing isn't afraid of blisters."

The white phosphorus incendiary bomb, not to mention that there is a layer of pseudo-vacuum steel cylinder on the outside, can still exert its due power even if it is really soaked directly in water.

The sacrifice lasted for half a day, and I didn't even have to eat lunch. The people of Nuergandusi didn't eat, and Yang Xin and the others were embarrassed to cook by themselves, so they had to wait. And they couldn't do anything, they could only stand in the inner circle and watch the wizard dance in a way they couldn't understand.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xin's subordinates, who finally held a bowl of rice, ate a bowl of white rice without waiting for the dishes to come up, and they were really hungry.

At about half past five, the capital finally received a telegram.

Zhu Qiyu, who had been sitting in the Yingwu Palace, almost shouted excitedly, and the first telegram only said, "Victory!" Debayintumen. This is the first time that the Ming Dynasty went abroad after the Yongle Emperor, and it was also the first external victory after shrinking the defense line many times, even if the soldiers and horses this time were not Han. In the eyes of the Ming Emperor, the Nuergandusi is already a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and of course he can quote the remarks of the white crane, which is a compatriot of the Ming minority.

In order to ensure accuracy, the general telegram will be limited to twenty-four words.

No matter how much, even if the operator mishears it, this number is also the highest number that can ensure 100% accuracy in the case of non-human error after many tests.

Thirty telegrams in a row took the details of the battle to be fully reported.

One telegram lasted at least five minutes, and thirty copies passed in two hours. During this period, the Wuying Hall in the capital city issued a telegram to the foreign government, telling the armies to wait, and confirm the waiting time again every half an hour. It is especially mentioned that the Right Army and the Chinese Army Radio have important matters to contact and wait attentively.

Holding a large bowl of noodles in his hand, Bai Minghe, who was sitting in the corner and full of food and drink, lit a cigar and said slowly: "I'm afraid that if it wasn't this day, something happened to someone in Liaodong." ”

"I guess so, otherwise I wouldn't have waited so long."

Finally, Yu Qian received a telegram from Wuyingdian: "Bayintumen has fallen, and the number of troops in the city is less than 3,000. According to reliable sources of interrogation, the plot of the right army is also empty. ”

"Good!" Bai Minghe slapped the table hard, but immediately felt that something was not right: "It's not good, it's not good." ”

"That's right, it's just not good, where is the main force of the enemy army right now?" Yu Qian began to worry, and at the same time replied: "The right army is divided into troops, and it is light and fast. ”

The second telegram was made public, and all radio stations received it.

It is about the actual combat effect of white phosphorus incendiary bombs, as well as the horror caused by the steppe people, etc., this incendiary bomb is too terrifying, requiring all armies to use it with caution.

"Two of them, and the people of the city will be frightened to surrender." Yu Qian handed the telegram to Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe clasped his hands together: "The gods are above, it's not that I, Bai Minghe's ruthless heart, it's really that the war itself is too cruel." May the dead rest in peace, and the soldiers are the weapons of murder, and they must be used without them! ”

Really, or fake? The white crane is suspicious.

Yu Qian said at this time: "I heard that this bone-eroding ghost fire has not been completed yet, this is just the first product!" ”

"Yes, the next state should be under a certain range of fire, water will not extinguish, sand will not work, it is said to burn out a qiē hell flame. And the real finished product, the final state, is to cause a rain, a rain of fire. No matter where you hide, you will also be burned to the ground, I named it Phoenix Sky Dance! ”

The white crane was a little proud.

Yu Qian winked at several generals and staff officers in the big tent, and then swept his eyes at the white crane.

The generals in the tent understood what it meant. Yu Qian is saying, you can see now whether Bai Minghe's prayer to the gods is true or false, there is no god in his heart.

The general here hasn't killed anyone with his own hands, who cares. There seems to be no difference between burning with fire and slashing with a knife, and he who can bring his brothers home alive is a good commander, and the rest is all a lie. Only those who survive can enjoy military exploits and enjoy rewards.

The telegraph was still ringing, of course, far worse than modern real-time communication, but for the Ming people, this was called Tianyin, the most suitable word.

The right army advanced lightly, and the leader of Horqin once again asked for meritorious service, he could take the surrendered army here to persuade the surrender of the Erennaoer Lake area, only one incendiary bomb was enough to demonstrate, and the number of defenders over there would not exceed 5,000 people, and it was not a regular army, just a few tribesmen. (To be continued......)
