Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The process of waiting for the fire in the Qingshiguan fortress below to be extinguished felt extremely long, although it was only a short period of more than twenty minutes, but for the people on the airship, especially those students of Qianlong Hall who had not experienced a real war, these more than ten minutes seemed to be much less than the time for everyone to come here by airship from Qianlong Island.
For most castles and fortresses built with stone or reinforced concrete as the main raw material in this era, the greatest effect of white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs is not to destroy the building structure of the target, but to destroy and kill living people and some facilities on the ground.
The white phosphorus gel incendiary bomb cannot be extinguished after burning, and will condense and adhere to the surface of the object that is splashed on a large area and continue to burn, and its combustion temperature can reach up to more than 1,000 degrees.
If it gets on people or some combustibles, the result is not to mention.
From the beginning to the end, the anti-air defense turret of the Qingshi Pass fortress below only had time to shoot two ballistas, and they were completely dumb in the light of the white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs, and those two ballistas were for the large war airship hovering at a height of thousands of meters, and even the distance to the bottom of the airship had lost their strength, and they fell down in a parabola.
In the event of an attack by white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs, a broken steam pipe in a castle or fortress, or a mechanical failure, the pressure on those turrets drops, and the anti-aircraft ballista becomes an ornament.
In this era, the most effective weapon that can deal with airships is only airships, but unfortunately, until Huaiyuantang's airships completed the first wave of attacks, the airships of the Zhen family in Tianhan City did not have a chance to show their heads.
That's the advantage of the raid, never giving the opponent a chance to react and breathe.
After the flames below gradually extinguished and the German-French air defense of the fortress was disarmed, Zhang Tie and the airship they were riding in began to reduce their flight altitude, hovering more than 100 meters above the Qingshiguan fortress, using the ballista on the airship to strafe downward, clearing the obstacles below for Zhang Tie and their airborne.
When the small-caliber steam ballista on the airship is fired upwards and downwards, the power is not ordinarily large, and the arrows that are shot fly out with huge inertia, which can easily pierce two people wearing armor, if it is shot at a person's hands and feet, an arrow will go down, it will be the consequence of breaking hands and feet.
The terrifying war airship is like a goshawk that is pounceing on its prey, constantly striking at the targets below from the air again and again, and the soldiers in some of the fortresses that have just been barely assembled under the attack of incendiary bombs are fired by the airship in the blink of an eye.
"Opening the Airborne Hatch Covers No. 1 to No. 6 ......"
……
"Lower the Rope ......"
……
"Ballistas do a good job of fire suppression and cover......"
……
"Combatants prepare for airborne ......"
The commanders of the crew inside the airship shouted loudly, and in a few seconds, the preparation of the fighters for the airborne landing was completed. This time, because the altitude is too low, and the pursuit of degree and efficiency, so instead of using a parachute, the method of sliding with a steel rope is adopted, and everyone mainly pulls the control pulley on the steel rope, and can slide from the airship to the ground in a few seconds.
In a few seconds, everyone stood at the door of the airborne cabin, the cold wind blew in from the airborne hatch that opened downward, and on the bottom armor plate of the airship, there was a sporadic crisp "clanging" sound of being hit by arrows, although the defenders of the fortress below were hit and had a number of casualties, but they did not completely lose their combat effectiveness.
At the moment, there are almost thousands of troops below, some of them are in a mess, and some are organizing resistance. Relying solely on a simple air attack, unless it is a powerful alchemy bomb dropped, there is no way to completely disintegrate the people below.
"Who's the first to come?" The senior officer who was explaining the mission to everyone in the airship just now looked at everyone and asked, the first one to go down must be the target that was besieged by the people below, and the few seconds that he didn't even go down on the steel rope was the target below, which can be said to be very dangerous.
But in this operation, the reason why the Family Elders Association wanted to involve the family students of the Qianlong Hall was that in addition to the fact that the family students of the Qianlong Hall were a very important force, there was also a meaning, that is, I hoped that most of the students of the Qianlong Hall could personally experience the taste of war.
Huaiyuantang has been peaceful for a long time, and in the past twenty years, there has hardly been an action of this scale.
Hearing the officer's words, when others just wanted to stand up, Zhang Tie, who was already boiling with fighting spirit, didn't say a word, jumped up, grabbed the control pulley on the steel rope and jumped off the airship.
The moment he jumped out of the cabin of the airship with his left hand, Zhang Tie instantly saw the situation below clearly-and in the distance, the first rays of dawn had just emerged.
Still on top of the steel rope, Zhang Tie took out the javelin on his back with his backhand, and threw it at a guy below who was aiming at the airship with a bow and arrow, and instantly pierced that person.
Zhang Tie's movements were very fast, and the degree of the control pulley falling on the steel rope was also very fast, almost more than ten meters in a second, Zhang Tieren had not slipped below, and in the blink of an eye, nine javelins in the nine heavy metal standard bags on his body were thrown out by him.
While Zhang Tie emptied his reloaded metal bag in the blink of an eye, everyone in the airship felt the sound of the "clanging" arrow hitting the armor at the bottom of the airship suddenly thinned out. And those who have good ears and are more attentive can see the popping sound that Zhang Tie delayed in the air every time he threw the javelin.
Nine consecutive sound strikes, the nine guys on the ground who posed the greatest threat to everyone's airborne landing were cleared by Zhang Tie in the blink of an eye, and the senior officer above looked at Zhang Tie's back, and a bright brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"The next batch of people every three seconds, quick!" The officer shouted, and the other male students of Huaiyuan Hall who saw that Zhang Tie had jumped down were even more unwilling to show weakness, and in the blink of an eye, six people grabbed the steel rope and jumped down at the same time.
After killing the nine archers below in a row, Zhang Tie became the target of other archers, but fortunately, he fell very quickly, and the airship was moving around the bluestone fortress, someone shot a few arrows at him, and they all flew past his body, and the only arrow was strong and fierce and went straight to Zhang Tie's front door, and was also blocked by Zhang Tie's backhand grabbing the heavy prismatic shield on his back.
Although the arrow was blocked by the shield, the fierce force on the arrow also made Zhang Tie's arm tremble.
Between the lightning and the fire, Zhang Tie looked down, and saw that next to a turret in the castle below, a horse-faced officer in black armor in his thirties was pointing at himself with a bow, and the person looked at Zhang Tie fiercely, and the eyes of the two people hit in the air at a distance of almost 100 meters.
Below, a large group of soldiers with spears and black armor rushed towards Zhang Tie's predetermined landing point, and someone shouted, "Kill that person, kill that person, whoever kills one enemy tonight, the official will be promoted to one level, and a reward of one hundred gold coins!" ”
There were swords and guns below, and the horse-faced officer in the distance aimed at Zhang Tie and opened his bow quickly, Zhang Tie grabbed the steel rope and swung it, instantly let go of his hand, and there were still more than thirty meters from the ground, jumping down to the ground like a meteor.
No one could have imagined that Zhang Tie, who was wearing heavy armor, would dare to jump down with such a brave attitude at this height, not only the people below could not have imagined it, but even the officers of Huaiyuan Hall who had been watching him from the airship and the students of Qianlong Hall who had slid down from the steel rope with him.
If it weren't for eating a bunch of iron fetal fruits, and using the pressure of seawater in the deep sea to temper this body far beyond the tolerance of ordinary people, Zhang Tie would not dare to jump from this height in hundreds of kilograms of equipment, this height is already the limit of what his current body can bear.
Because he didn't expect Zhang Tie to jump down, the second arrow shot by the horse-faced officer who had misjudged could fly a foot above Zhang Tie's head, and the group of soldiers below who rushed to Zhang Tie's intended foothold also hurriedly turned.
Zhang Tie stirred up the runes of the speed movement in the sea in the air.
With a "boom", Zhang Tie's whole person smashed on the ground like a cannonball, and with a wave of his shield, the soldiers of the five black armor regiments who had just rushed over around him instantly broke their tendons and flew out with blood spraying upside down.
Then Zhang Tie bounced up again like lightning, and rushed towards the horse-faced officer, blocking between Zhang Tie and the horse-faced officer, the soldiers of the Black Armor Regiment who rushed towards Zhang Tie were instantly knocked away by Zhang Tie, who was protecting himself with a shield, with the technique of collision, and more than 20 people flew all the way.
Looking down from the air, Zhang Tie was like a wild bull running wildly, and the soldiers of the Black Armor Regiment had become scarecrows who had no power to fight back on the road of the wild bull, and they were completely crushed.
The powerful strength of the body and the blessing effect of the runes of the gods on the degree made Zhang Tie at this moment, even if he was wearing heavy armor, the degree still reached a terrifying level.
Seeing that Zhang Tie was terrified and rushed directly towards him, the horse-faced officer finally panicked, and he shot a third arrow at Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie threw out his shield, and the more than 100-kilogram prismatic heavy shield whirled and swirled, cutting the bodies of several soldiers of the Black Armor Regiment who were blocking the road in half with sharp corners, and then collided with the third arrow shot by the horse-faced officer.
Zhang Tie's figure who threw out the shield increased again, and before the horse-faced officer could shoot the fourth arrow, Zhang Tie had already pounced.
"Kill!" Zhang Tie's tongue was like spring thunder, and he punched out in a shocking shout.
Zhang Tie's shout, the sound was so loud that it instantly overshadowed the panicked and noisy shouts and killings in the entire fortress, completely like thunder, and the soldiers of the Black Armor Regiment who were a little closer to Zhang Tie next to him all felt a buzz in their heads, and the movements of their subordinates slowed down suddenly.
Many people in the fortress unconsciously turned their heads to look at Zhang Tie.
That person punched Zhang Tie......
Just a punch......
The horse-faced officer's entire body was like porcelain falling from a building dozens of floors, and it instantly split apart and exploded, turning into a rain of blood.
"Ah, the battalion commander has been killed...... many of the soldiers of the Black Armor Regiment panicked......
Behind Zhang Tie, a nearly 100-meter-tall hundred-legged centipede battle qi totem suddenly rose up in the burning blood wave, looking down at the soldiers in the fortress condescendingly with blood-red eyes full of murderous intent, like a monster about to eat, at once the entire fortress was enveloped, stepped on the feet, looking at Zhang Tie's terrifying expression and the battle qi totem that seemed to be a god descending to earth, many people were stunned, and the fighting spirit of the remaining soldiers of the Black Armor Regiment in the entire fortress was instantly captured by Zhang Tie alone......
"Peerless Warrior, Peerless Warrior ......" On the airship, seeing Zhang Tie say this, the senior officer shouted excitedly, "Who is this person, who is this person, why haven't I heard of it before?" ”
Looking at Zhang Tie wrapped in that steel armor, Ma Aiyun, who knew Zhang Tie, and a few people only felt that their minds were blank, Zhang Tie on the battlefield was simply a killing machine, so powerful and fierce that they all felt a little strange...... (To be continued...!)
