Chapter 676: Leviathan's Infernal Flames
Guiyou stood at the head of the city, looking at the devilish Viking iron-boned people under the city, and his heart was also full of thoughts. .
If they really just came for Yang Jing and the other priests, it would be easier to do it, and hand over one or two of the priests, and the matter would be peaceful.
But whether it is the person or the timing, it is very wrong.
Their spearhead is directly aimed at Yang Jing and others, and only Yang Jing and others can be handed over, after all, they are inferior Han people, but they are also great shamans, which is very difficult.
Again, the timing is not right.
Kiyu has just decided to pull himself together and show his tough and strong side, and to mobilize the Mamluk mercenary group to fight these Viking irons in order to establish his prestige.
At this juncture, if he immediately relented and handed over Yang Jing or other priests, not to mention whether the Viking Iron Bone Man would really leave, just the tens of thousands of Mongolian people and many soldiers in this city would look down on him!
Thinking about it this way, he can't hand over anyone, but he has to be tougher, even if the murderer is really here, he must cover it up to the end!
Thinking like this in his heart, Gui You couldn't help but scold, not so much that he didn't trust Yang Jing, but that he was jealous of Yang Jing's ability.
This Yang Jing looks like a thin white sick ghost, and no one even knows what he looks like, but I heard that his face is full of sword marks, which is terrifying.
But this Han person seems to have an inexplicable charming charm, and he can gather a large number of people's hearts with a gesture.
A person like Bisheng can't be completely loyal to him Guiyou, Guiyou must always be on guard in his heart, I don't know what Yang Jing will do, for fear that Yang Jing will cause him big trouble casually.
Although he made up his mind not to hand people out, the seeds of suspicion of Yang Jing had been planted in Guiyu's heart.
In such a scene, it is impossible for Yang Jing to make any statement, after all, with just a ghost face, it is difficult to convince the public that anyone in the temple is a murderer, and it is even more unacceptable!
Guiyou was majestic at the head of the city, pointing to the Viking iron-bones under the city and said: "You and other rebels, dare to invade the imperial city, and come here to threaten the king, you really deserve to die, don't you want to be captured!"
As soon as you said this, you had already made your attitude clear, and the spear thrower raised the iron spear in his hand, and the Mamluk mercenaries beat the iron shield and roared forward!
Ghost Fan sneered a few times, and didn't turn around, but just looked at Guiyou at the head of the city coldly, raised the giant axe in his hand, and sang in a low voice.
"The death knell of the cemetery rises with the wind, pain and tears, buried by time, the song of the earth, gloomy and sad, guys, put away the hesitation, guys, make waves!"
"Let that cry be duly rewarded, turn the rudder to the end of the world, and home is far away!"
"The skull flag flies, never withers, never mourns!"
The Ghost Sail's song grew louder and louder, as the Vikings sang in unison, and their singing was neat and low, touching people's hearts, as if the waves from ancient times were beating on everyone's hearts!
The black-bearded Leviathan, who had been silent and hunched up, suddenly raised his hand, and the Viking Iron Men pushed over one chariot after another from behind the camp!
These chariots are a bit odd, they don't have cannons, they don't have large crossbows, they are large slingshots!
These large slingshots are made of rough but tough wood as a support, and the fascia of large sea creatures such as whales are made of skin, and three or five people work together to pull the large slingshot to the full!
"Hide! Leviathan is summoning the Flames of Death!"
There are also people who know the goods among the Mamluk mercenaries, and they must have suffered a great loss from the Leviathan on the Western battlefield, and when they saw this, they immediately warned loudly!
The shield-bearers raised their iron shields one after another, and their whole bodies hid behind the shields, while the spear-throwers hid behind the shield wall!
Yang Jing's eyes were also bright when he saw the big slingshot, but when he saw the Viking iron bones lighting the fire, the big slingshot shot out one by one with a bang!
There is a small lead on the black projectile, which is clearly a piece of ammunition!
At this time, the artillery industry was not so advanced, and there was no advanced primer, and they still used primitive methods.
Use hollow cork strips, stuffed with gunpowder, and cut the corresponding length of the wooden strip lead according to the time the gunpowder burns, and after the gunpowder is burned, the cannonballs just hit the ground, or fly to the desired landing point.
Of course, the quality of the wooden strip, the amount of medicine in the wooden strip, etc., will affect the degree of gunpowder burning in the wooden strip, and the time can not be calculated so accurately, and it is common to detonate in advance or delay.
And it is also necessary to calculate the flight time, range and other factors of the shell, not everyone is able to operate, only extremely experienced gunners can take on this heavy task!
It can be seen that these large slingshots may have been removed from the pirate ship, and these Viking iron skeletons were used as artillery on the 6 ground!
The Mongols also had artillery such as huihui cannons, and they were not afraid of fist-sized shells like the Viking Iron Skeletons, and many people thought that these cannons did not have much of a lethal effect at all.
But when the shell exploded, everyone was stunned!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The small cannonballs caused a violent explosion, and the fire and smoke rose into the air, forming one small mushroom cloud after another!
This level of explosive power is not something that black powder can achieve!
"It's... This is... Oh my God!" Yang Jing was also taken aback!
Their craftsmanship can only be regarded as shoddy, so the reason for being able to achieve such an amazing explosion power can only be their ammunition!
When the shell exploded, Yang Jing smelled a smell that was too familiar to be familiar, it was the smell of modernity, it was the smell of gasoline!
Yes!
These Viking ironmen actually use gasoline to make cannonballs!
Yang Jing stared at the city deadly, the cannonballs exploded, and the shield array of Mamluk was torn apart, and what was even worse was that after these shells exploded, flames splashed everywhere, and many people were burned alive!
"It's oil!"
Yang Jing's heart stirred!
These Viking ironmen have mastered the flammability properties of oil, and judging by the smell, they have mastered the initial method of refining oil, and perhaps mixed in some fish oil or something to aid combustion!
"It's the Hellfire of the Leviathan!
No matter how brave the Mamluk mercenaries are, they are gathered in a pile now, and the Viking Iron Bone doesn't even need to aim, saving time and effort, it is naturally wise to scatter around now, and retreating into the city is the best way!
It is said that Leviathan is the name of a demon in hell, and the reason why Blackbeard got this name is because he has mastered the power of demons, and now everyone sees it with their own eyes, even Meng Ge, who is secretly peeping not far away, also consciously underestimates these iron bones!
They all thought that the Vikings were just simple-minded men with limbs, but they didn't know that they plundered the sea all year round, and then went to 6 lands to wreak havoc, and the novelties of the world were much more knowledgeable than everyone else.
Those merchant ships that walked on the sea routes, carrying goods from all over the world, were intercepted by pirates, and it can be said that pirates are more knowledgeable than those who have passed through the world!
Before the Mamluk mercenary group fought, there were already casualties, and they thought that three thousand against five hundred, lying down could win, but who knew that this was just a face, and it was convenient to use a big move!
"Close the gates!
The Mamluk mercenaries dragged the wounded and corpses into the city, many of them were burned beyond recognition, the corpses were charred and black, and it was difficult to identify, and some of them with flames all over their bodies screamed and scurried, igniting the buildings near the city gates, and the flames broke out everywhere, and there was also a lot of chaos!
Yang Jing had thought earlier that if he could subdue the Mamluk mercenary group and the Viking Iron Bones, that would be the greatest help.
Now that I have seen the fire of the Vikings, this idea is even more certain!
Guiyu was also horrified, as soon as the Mamluk mercenary group retreated, the Vikings pushed down the city in a big way!
As the imperial city, Hal and Lin also have artillery on the city gate, and the city is in chaos, Guiyou immediately made a decision, and ordered the generals around him: "Push out the artillery and kill these evil ghosts!"
The generals were frightened and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to push out the artillery, but in order to avoid explosions, the artillery and ammunition were stacked separately, and the soldiers were anxious to carry the ammunition.
At this time, the Vikings had already pushed to the bottom of the city, and the big slingshot buzzed and fired more than a dozen cannonballs, which exploded at the head of the city, and then involved the gunpowder piles, and the whole city was almost blown down, and there was a sea of fire all around!
Some miscalculated shells fell into the city, but they did not explode, and the black-green liquid splattered everywhere, causing the fire to ignite, and it was another fire!
Three thousand Mamluk mercenaries, the defenders of the outer city, caught the Vikings off guard with more than a dozen large slingshots!
The defenders hurriedly carried water hoses to extinguish the fire, but the shells were liquid, and the water not only could not extinguish the fire, but made the fire even more terrifying!
"Use sand!
At a critical juncture, Yang Jing also put down all the considerations in his heart and gave his own suggestions, but the situation in front of him was in chaos, who could listen to his suggestions!
After all, he had been on the battlefield, but Naima Zhen and those dying clan leaders were already frightened, escorted by the cowardly Xue guards, and rushed down the city in a hurry, embarrassed to the extreme.
When I arrived in the city, I saw a sea of fire everywhere, and people covered in fire were scurrying around, and the scene was so chaotic that it was like purgatory on earth, and everyone was terrified and fled without their lives.
The Vikings' cannonballs could not be endless, and they fired a single shot, igniting the pile of explosives at the head of the city, almost knocking off half of the city, and the Vikings laughed and returned victorious.
But the city of Helin was full of mourning, the ground was full of scorched earth near the city gate, and the scorching smell of corpses and fire smoked half of the city!
Guiyou walked under the city in disgrace, and the cowardly guards followed suit, full of vigilance, until the lookout at the head of the city reported that the Vikings had temporarily withdrawn, and they were relieved.
The spear thrower and the shield bearer are also as earth-colored as the face of the earth, and they have experienced the flames of hell for themselves, and they are frightened, but they are also shameless to face the noble cause.
In this count, not a single hair of the enemy was fished, and they had already killed and wounded seventy or eighty men, several of whom were burned to the ground, and even the most endurable mercenaries wailed unbridledly.
The spear thrower and the shield man are the leaders, and they also feel sorry for these subordinates, although they don't have the size of the work, but the enemy's magic is too abrupt, and they can't guard against it.
"Please, lord, heal these guys quickly!"
Guiyou's face is extremely ugly, now that the city is in chaos, he still needs to send troops to defend the city gate, and he can't say that he wants to go out of the city to chase and fight the Vikings, how can he have such idle effort to find someone to treat these mercenaries!
"Let's wait a little longer, and then we will stabilize the situation!" said Guiyu, with three points of reproach and three points of annoyance, towards the spear thrower and the shield bearer, who was also disheartened.
After a long time, hope arose in their eyes again, because this is the magic of Leviathan, and ordinary doctors are afraid that they can't do anything, but isn't there a person who understands magic in this and Lin City!
