45. Learn from terrorists
Looking at the twelve modified bomb trucks, under the activation of the remote control device, like a wild dog on the loose, rushed towards the enemy formation, Wang Qiu, who was holding the starter, couldn't help but let out a long breath - luckily, these second-hand classic cars finally ran up!
In order to save costs, the car bodies they used this time were a bunch of dilapidated second-hand cars that were scrapped from the auto overhaul shop, with rusty surfaces and paint peeling everywhere...... In short, they are all rags that are discarded by the car owner, and they are ready to be sent to the car dismantling factory.
From this pile of scrap trucks, Wang Qiu and the others, after some selection, found 12 dilapidated pickup trucks that could still run, and then inserted a special simple remote control device designed and invented by Comrade Maimaiti, a blasting expert, in the position of the engine key -- there was no need for complicated maneuvers, turns, and speed regulation, as long as the switch was pressed, the car could start the engine and rush out in a straight line -- and then stuffed tons of explosives, barrels of gasoline, and bags of iron filings and nails into the back compartment of each car. Then install the remote control detonator...... A convoy of bomb trucks was thus completed.
Compared with the cloudburst bombs used before, the bomb trucks will obviously travel a shorter distance, but the charge and explosive power are definitely not small - otherwise, how could terrorists in the Middle East use it to bomb US military checkpoints?
What's more, the price of this kind of bomb truck is very cheap -- after Wang Qiu and the others waved the banner of "urban management law enforcement" and pulled comrades from the industrial and commercial bureau to help bargain prices. Twelve tattered classic cars were half-sold and half-given away by the other party, even if the hauling cost was counted, the total cost was less than 100,000 yuan. Plus those explosives and lethal gasoline, nails, and filings. It is enough to spend about 400,000 yuan, and it is not even the cost of a large "fire missile". It's really cheap and good, and it's very suitable for those who are shy in their pockets.
Prior to this, Professor Yang had suggested that everyone use the domestic Type 63 107mm multiple rocket launcher, which is known as the AK47 of artillery, the most powerful guerrilla warfare weapon, from the Vietnam War to the Libyan civil war has outstanding performance. However, if you want to create a more visually striking scene to destroy the fighting spirit and faith of the enemy, it seems that the bomb truck is relatively good value for money - 107mm rockets are cheaper. The price of each rocket is usually thousands of yuan, and the charge in the body of the bomb is only a few kilograms. Compared with bomb trucks with a load of at least a few tons each, it is not in the same order of magnitude at all (the wholesale price per ton of explosives is about a little more than 10,000 yuan).
So. After some weighing, Wang Qiu and the others decided to use the bomb truck as a killer weapon to blast away the enemy line. However, the Type 63 107mm multiple rocket launcher recommended by Professor Yang has also been brought over - in case of a stalemate such as a tough battle. You can use it for emergency relief.
Of course. In modern Shijie, a rudimentary bomb truck like this can easily be destroyed halfway by weapons such as bazookas and machine guns, and even a sharpshooter can stop the impact of the bomb truck as long as he can burst the tires with a rifle. But what could the Roman legions do in ancient Egypt in the first century BC? Shoot the tires of a speeding truck with a bow and arrow? This is a bit too difficult.
So, Wang Qiu used a telescope to see it happily. Twelve bomb trucks slammed through a few hundred meters of pre-surveyed flat sand and plunged headlong into the shield wall of the Roman legions. They all rolled on their backs, wolves rushed to the ground, and wails erupted......
I have to admit that compared with the Egyptian army, which had been decadent for many years, the Roman legions were obviously much more ferocious on the battlefield.
When they saw this group of steel beasts let out a terrifying roar and rumble all the way towards them, many Roman soldiers were indeed frightened on the spot, and the whole person seemed to freeze, poking there motionless. But more Roman soldiers immediately drew their javelins and tried to hold their shields and javelins against the truck. Others raised flaming torches, swayed back and forth, and shouted strange cries from their mouths, as if directly applying the methods used against Carthaginian war elephants in the past. Others simply threw shields, short swords, helmets and everything else they could find into the truck, and some even rode war horses and crashed into the front of the truck desperately!
After a while, the phalanx of the Roman legions was certainly disrupted, but it is not known whether the wheels of the bomb trucks were sunk in the bunkers, or the engines were smashed by stones and javelins, or there were too many corpses piled up in front of the cars...... In short, under the siege of Roman soldiers, these broken cars actually stopped one after another, and wisps of green smoke faintly came out of the front of the car.
As for the other bomb trucks that were not stopped, they crushed the shields and corpses and smashed through the entire Roman phalanx, and staggered into the middle of the reserve behind them. But the experienced centurions immediately stepped forward, shouted and kicked the soldiers back into the queue, trying to minimize the confusion and recoup the losses.
However, all their efforts could only be in vain after all-the next moment, before the frightened Roman generals had time to take any countermeasures, Wang Qiu, who was at the other end of the battlefield, sneered and pressed the remote detonation switch.
ββ¦β¦ Rumble!!!! β
Suddenly, accompanied by a dazzling white light, a full twenty-five tons of mine explosives were detonated together, emitting an earth-shattering roar. Twelve huge fireballs rose in the array of Roman legions, emitting a brighter light than the sun.
As soon as these orange-red fireballs appeared, they expanded at an alarming speed, burning every Roman soldier who was unfortunate enough to be caught up in them into pieces of humanoid char. And the turbulent and majestic shock wave was even more wreaking havoc in the dense crowd. It blew away everything it could touchβshields, javelins, soldiers, horses, and chariotsβlike flying insects swept up by a storm.
What's worse is that. At the moment of the explosion, countless sharp iron filings and iron nails were carried by the explosion gas wave and shot out in all directions, like a shotgun firing continuously, quickly piercing through the thin leather armor, burrowing into the soldier's body, and flying terrifying and beautifying blood flowers...... Due to the confrontation between the two armies on the battlefield. It was an open field without shelter, and the phalanx of Roman soldiers was relatively close, so to speak, man to man. Therefore, within a radius of nearly 100 meters around each bomb truck, it turned into a shocking sea of blood!
Even at a slight distance, accompanied by a deafening roar. Many soldiers also temporarily lost their sight and hearing. and was shaken by the wave of air and fell to the ground. What's even more terrifying is that when they cover their buzzing and even bursting and bleeding ears, endure severe dizziness and nausea, and are able to see objects clearly again, the first thing that catches their eyes is often the body of a companion!
- After the explosion, the blood mixed with dust splashed all over their faces. And the hellish scene made them shudder even more.
The faces of the corpses that had been shattered with their internal organs shattered. Often with an extremely eerie smile. There were no wounds all over the body, and he just lay soft like that. Then several dark spots suddenly appeared in front of the survivor's eyes. Bleeding slowly from the nostrils, eyes, ears, and mouth......
Even the most experienced on the battlefield. I don't know how many times I have been born and died, and the veterans of the Roman legions, who have long regarded human life as a mustard, are also in their stomachs for a long time in the face of this tragic scene. As for the others who lacked concentration in their hearts, they vomited wildly with their weapons, almost vomiting out their bile, and could no longer pay attention to the earth-shattering shouts of the enemy in the distance, or even the orders shouted by the remaining officers at the top of their throats......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The power of this series of explosions was so terrifying that even the Egyptian army, which was nearly a kilometer away, was clearly aware of the trembling of the earth, and the scorching heat of the mountains, and generally felt palpitations and tightness in the chest, and difficulty breathing...... Due to the sudden concern, many people fell down in this violent vibration, one by one staggered and looked like everything, and the rest were dizzy, nauseous and uncomfortable. And in the next moment, all kinds of debris, earth and rocks that were kicked off by the explosion were like a downpour, crackling and hitting them.
Although they had erected riot shields, stab-proof suits, motorcycle helmets and protective shoes, according to the military orders issued by Queen Cleopatra, some people were struck by the splash of rubble on their unprotected thighs or arms, and they wailed in pain. As for the others, they also listened in horror as the helmets and shields were knocked to the ground, and at the same time, their faces were full of incredulity, and through the transparent riot shields, they watched the hot air in front of them that was scorched by the huge fireballs, mixed with all kinds of charred ashes and black smoke, rushing into the sky, forming a spectacular mushroom cloud......
ββ¦β¦ Belch...... It seems that this bomb truck is really cheap and good, and it is really a must-have for home travel, murder and arson. Indeed, in the future, we should learn from terrorists in the area of armaments...... The things they come up with are generally powerful and cheap, just inhumane - but that's okay, in this day and age, there is always one way to deal with violence, and that is more violence! β
Cowering behind Cynthia's riot shield and watching the mushroom clouds slowly rising above the enemy formation, the Queen of Egypt couldn't help but whisper.
ββ¦β¦ Look at that! It's the gods bless our queen! Long live the Queen! This battle will be won! β
After another few moments, sporadic cheers began to erupt in the Egyptian army, and soon they grew louder and more imposing.
ββ¦β¦ Win!!!! Win!!!! Win!!!! β
As if infected by this warm and excited atmosphere, and at the same time seeing that the Roman phalanx had been torn apart and disintegrated by the sound of explosions, Queen Cleopatra was extremely excited, and shook off the dust that had stuck to her body, and stood out from behind the riot shield.
Then, under the watchful eye, she held up a cartoon-shaped black cat-headed hammer - the cosplay prop "Life Scepter Setola" of the "desert princess Menas" in the cartoon "Queen's Blade", and issued a declaration full of middle two atmosphere:
ββ¦β¦ Ahem. Uh-huh--Kukuku, stupid Roman! Cry! Call it! Then let me all die! All the small beings in this world must bow down for my might! O my apostle! Hurry up! Let the Romans see their humility! β
β¦β¦ Hey, hey. Queen Bixia of Cleopatra, have you also been infected by the holder of the "True Eye of the Evil King", the former prime minister of Kotoriyu, who once reigned in Japan? Also, what did you just say?
-- Because none of the unlearned brute soldiers could understand the queen's awkward words, there was an awkward coldness for a while...... It wasn't until she finally came to her senses in full view of everyone that she blushed. While giving instructions in the most concise language:
ββ¦β¦ Well, well, everyone thinks they haven't heard of what they just said! Right now. Listen to my orders again: the whole army is on the offensive!! β
ββ¦β¦ Oooh! Offensive! Offensive! Killβ"
In the midst of the chaotic cheers, the motley army of the Queen of Egypt was all slaughtered like wild dogs.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββ
β¦β¦ Well...... I still...... Alive?
β¦β¦ I'm ...... Where?
β¦β¦ What the hell was just now...... What happened?
β¦β¦ weishenmeβ¦β¦ Pain all over your body?
Next to the wreckage of a crumbling chariot that had flipped on its side, little Pompey groaned and got up from the ground. It's still ringing in my ears. There was even more chaos in my mind, and I only felt that the bones in my body seemed to be broken, and there were bursts of heart-rending pain.
-- As the commander of the First Army, Pompey Jr., although he was staying far from the center of the explosion, was not charred by the flames, nor was he directly swept away by the air waves. However, the two horses that pulled the cart for him were still frightened by the violent shaking and terrifying loud noises. Herod screamed and jumped, and then ran out in a frenzy. In an instant, the thin two-wheeled chariot was overturned!
Fortunately, little Pompey had time to roll when he landed, and he unloaded some of his strength, and finally did not break his leg or neck. Fortunately, one of the crossbars of the chariot flew out and hit him so his breastplate that he immediately fainted.
Then, when little Pompey regained consciousness again, he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, so much so that he couldn't help but moan.
After a moment's gasp, he struggled to prop himself up with his arms, slowly rising from the sand that was grinding his skin, trying to look up to see the battle. Then, to his immediate horror, he saw the Egyptian soldiers, with glass shields and round helmets, rushing out of their positions with a shout, and slaughtering the Roman army, which had just been thrown into disarray by the explosion.
At this time, the situation of the Roman legions was quite bad, the command system of the whole army had collapsed, the soldiers who had been blown up and overturned were lying on the ground, and there were some frightened soldiers who were crazy and dragged their bloody bodies on the battlefield screaming and shaking, and the formation and array of the whole army were all in a mess. And the cavalry arranged on the two flanks caused even more confusion for their own people - this violent explosion that had never been done before made the horses so frightened that they either raised their hooves and threw the cavalry under their horses, or they ran out frantically. Stampeding everywhere.
However, even in such a dire situation, the Roman legions showed their superior qualities. Looking at the enemy rushing like a tidal wave, a considerable number of soldiers who could still maintain discipline and combat effectiveness, under the shouts of the centurion closest to them, raised their shields back to back, shoulder to shoulder, and formed small circles, ready to resist the enemy's chaotic attack like a herd of bison.
-- In the past, when fighting against the Germans, Parthians, and Gauls, the Romans were ambushed or raided many times, and were broken apart and crushed, but in the end, they always relied on strict discipline and strict formation, and persevered until the reversal and victory of Zuihou.
Unfortunately, before little Pompey could rejoice, the scene on the battlefield once again darkened his eyes - those Egyptian troops with glass shields and strange short clubs had just rushed to the Romans' shields with a shout, and in an instant, the Romans' improvised solid shield array collapsed at once, and was smashed like fragile eggshells!
What's going on here? The formation of the Roman legions could never be so weak!
What kind of magic did the Egyptians use to crush the desperate resistance of the Roman soldiers so quickly?
Looking at these well-disciplined and battle-hardened veterans of the Roman legions, they were quickly knocked to the ground by the Egyptian stragglers, slaughtering like lambs, and even failed to make the enemy pay much loss......
Little Pompey, who had originally planned to rush forward to take over the command and organize a counterattack, immediately seemed to have been immobilized by someone in an instant, his feet were firmly fixed on the ground, his mouth opened wide in disbelief, and his eyes were full of shock and incredulity.
- Because of the distance and the sun, he could not see the electric sparks shining on the Egyptian soldier's short stick for a moment...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
