Volume 12 The Battle of the Western Regions Chapter 357 Incendiary Bombs (2)
Chapter 357: Incendiary Bomb (2)
"Hmph...... Did you escape? Jiang Kongming's gaze looked at the Caesars who were desperately squeezing backwards to escape.
A devilish smile appeared on his face: "Do you think you can escape? ”
Xiang Ming, who was beside him, had already turned pale, and the power of the incendiary bomb was also much beyond his estimate.
If it had been unknowingly, the Red Sea had encountered such a sharp weapon......
Xiang Ming's scalp couldn't help but tingle, and he didn't dare to imagine it anymore.
Fortunately, there is another weakness in this weapon, a weakness that is not fatal but easy to crack.
Although the strength of a person's arm varies from person to person, it will not vary too much after all.
Look at the Caesars who had already fled far away, giving way to the large territory under the city. Xiang Ming secretly said in his heart, except for that humanoid tyrannosaurus, I'm afraid that no one can throw an incendiary bomb so far away.
His eyes inadvertently saw the small trebuchets behind the brazier, and his heart couldn't help but move.
Even now, he was still wondering what the use of these small trebuchets was, and the stones they threw were afraid that even people would not be killed.
But now, he finally understands what these things do.
Xiang Ming's eyes glanced at Jiang Kongming, whose face was as heavy as water, it turned out that he had already thought of this weakness, and had already made certain preparations.
Taking a deep breath, the taboo against him has reached the point of fear.
Fortunately, he is the second brother's subordinate, if not, then the first thing he has to do is to take his life.
Jiang Kongming carefully observed the changes on the battlefield, and he seemed extremely calm. But the smell of blood on the tip of his nose was getting stronger and stronger, and the pungent smell and the miserable scene he saw were stimulating him like crazy again.
These two very different feelings appear in a person's body at the same time.
"Throw from a distance."
A cold, voice, without a hint of human pity, echoed through the city.
The soldiers of the 7th Squadron put away the incendiary bombs in their hands, this thing was not easy to make, and none of them dared to waste it easily.
After receiving Jiang Kongming's order, they also worked in groups of three.
The bottles with the fuses lit were placed in the special holes.
"Putting ......"
With a soft shout, countless incendiary bombs flew high and flew towards a distance of tens of meters.
There, it was crowded with people, and it was the most crowded place on the entire battlefield.
The pupils of those who thought they were safe were filled with extreme fear again, and they watched as the terrifying weapon that had claimed the lives of countless companions reappeared above their heads.
"Smack......
The loud explosion spread far away, and the crowd fell helplessly on the battlefield.
The more crowded the place, the greater the number of dead and wounded.
The throwers of the 7th Squadron always aimed at the place where the number of people was largest.
Although not every incendiary bomb can hit the target as desired, in such a dense crowd, as long as the general direction is not bad, the effect is not much different.
Human life, at this time, is so worthless.
On the city wall, the sound of shouting and killing was deafening.
The change in the city inevitably affected the morale of both sides.
There were no more reinforcements behind the Caesars. The soldiers who remained at the head of the city were completely alone.
Their morale was extremely low, but their movements were swift and did not pause.
Because they are at the moment of life and death, the Han people in front of them are already red-eyed, and they will definitely not give them any chance to surrender.
Since surrender is death, and not surrendering is death, these soldiers who are destined to die are aroused by their blood, and everyone fights bravely to fight the trapped beast.
Suddenly, a cold arrow shot out of the crowd of Caesars.
The arrow was as fast as lightning, and it pierced the throat of a soldier in an instant.
The second, the third, the beaded archery shows this person's extraordinary archery skills.
Jiang Kongming's face changed, and Xiang Ming beside him also exclaimed: "It's not good......
Although these three arrows are extremely fast, they are not unique. In the Han army, there are such archers, to say the least, there are as many as 100 people.
However, the person who fired the arrow was obviously premeditated and the timing was extremely accurate.
His three arrows were taken from the group of three people closest to the battlefield at the head of the city.
The three of them were concentrating on installing and firing incendiary bombs, when disaster fell from the sky, as if three long arrows appeared from outside the sky and suddenly pierced their bodies.
The first two were defenseless and died with an arrow through their throats.
The last man saw the two companions fall down from each other, and he subconsciously squatted down, and the arrow was slightly off, but he was also shot through the right chest by the arrow, lying in a pool of blood, and his life was in danger.
However, what really shocked Jiang Kongming and the others was the layer of cotton wool that was emitting green smoke on the small trebuchet.
Anyone who has seen the power of the incendiary bomb is full of fear from the bottom of their hearts for that little bottle.
Such a small thing, once exploded, the high-speed flying glass shards were enough to penetrate most of the protective leather armor.
With the exception of hoplites and hoplites, this weapon is the nemesis of almost all armies.
Above the city, due to the limited terrain, the three-man teams of the 7th Squadron were at a certain distance from each other. But that distance can only be said to be barely reaching the security cordon.
However, they were still within range of the incendiary bombs.
Even more terrifying is that on the left side of the trebuchet is the large box full of incendiary bombs.
What kind of consequences will be produced by such a close explosion, and whether it will cause a series of explosions, even Jiang Kongming is not sure.
He just knew that if all the incendiary bombs in this entire box exploded, not only would it cause great casualties to the personnel, but also the entire city would fall into great chaos.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the short, almost burned lead.
It is precisely because of the safety concerns that each three-person team is surrounded by an open area. Even if there were people, they stood far away, not daring to approach this nightmare-like weapon.
"Fire extinguishing ......," Jiang Kongming suddenly shouted.
He knew in his heart that his cry was just useless, but he didn't have the slightest solution, and this sudden change made his heart fall into an ice cellar.
On the battlefield, it is really changing rapidly, and any unforeseen situation will happen, even if you are well prepared, there will be unexpected things.
The soldiers who were a few steps away in front of the trebuchet watched the flames burn blankly, and although they could see clearly, their minds were blank, and they did not know what to do.
One of the trio closest to the small trebuchet was the quickest to react, and he rushed towards the Molotov cocktail, which was almost burning to its head.
There was a persistent light in his eyes, and he could no longer see anything in his eyes, except the light that emitted a little spark.
He stretched out his arms, trying to pick up the Molotov cocktail and throw it away before it exploded.
Jiang Kongming and Xiang Ming's eyes moved with his body, and their heartbeats accelerated.
This...... It was already their only hope at this time.
Suddenly, another long arrow flew out of the remnants of Caesar's soldiers.
The arrow was like a sharp knife, cutting off their remaining hopes.
An arrow shot out, as fast as a meteor, passed through the base of the running Han soldier's thigh.
In the same flash of cold light, the Caesar soldier turned to the ground and fell to the ground, a long knife piercing his chest.
The city guards had already slaughtered here, and slaughtered the Caesar who had repeatedly used secret arrows on the spot.
It's just that when he lay down, what flashed in his eyes was not temporary fear, but a kind of desperate madness.
At the moment when the steel knife was cut down, he also shot the last arrow of his life, and this arrow, he did not directly kill the enemy, but shot him in the thigh.
He wanted the Han soldier to watch death come and slowly endure the torment of fear.
However, when his head hit the ground, the cruel grin on his face suddenly froze.
He saw something, something that he regretted, and the last trace of remorse flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes were glazed, and he was no longer conscious.
At the last second of his life, he saw.
The Han soldier, who was shot in the thigh and should have fallen to the ground, suddenly seemed to have received magical powers.
His steps staggered, his thighs soaked with blood, but he never paid attention. His speed had not weakened in the slightest, as if the long arrow embedded in the base of his thigh had never existed.
He spread out one of his arms and stretched his body to the fullest.
"Ah......h
From his mouth burst out a cry of despair and hope.
The liquid in the bottle has become hot and hot, and the bottle has begun to crack.
"Smack......
A loud explosion suddenly sounded from above the city.
However, the voice seemed unexpectedly depressing, as if it had been wrapped in something and exploded.
Countless glass slags penetrated the first layer of leather armor and tore the **, and the blood quickly stained the city.
