Chapter 460: A Warning from the Ming Army (Part II)
Under the attack of fire and oil bombs, Brest completely became a sea of fire.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, whether it was the enemy or the Ming army, even Jian Xiao was a little frightened.
"Let's go, go over and have a look."
Although she knew that now was not a good time to get close, Jian Xiao still gave this order.
He had to take a look at the characteristics of the new weapon, so that he could use it to its strengths in future wars.
Moreover, Jian Xiao faintly felt that this fire oil bomb was a little different from the white phosphorus egg.
The guards around Jian Xiao looked at each other when they heard this, and they all seemed to see the worry in the other party's eyes, but thinking about what Jian Xiao had done before, they still took a step forward with Jian Xiao.
Before this, Jian Xiao could be said to have not done anything that he was not sure of, which was one of the reasons why Zhu Zhanyan valued him so much.
Because they were being attacked by fire bombs, the Ming army approached the southern gate of Brest very smoothly.
At this time, Brest was really full of fire, and even the city walls and gates were full of flames, which Jian Xiao had never seen before.
The white phosphosphere egg is indeed very domineering and vicious, it is a big killer on the battlefield, and it is also a weapon that has always been used by Jian Xiao as a hole card.
However, the white phosphorol eggs never caused this scene.
The burning of white phosphorus eggs mainly depends on white phosphorus, and the source of lethality is the high temperature of nearly 4,000 degrees Celsius and toxic gases when white phosphorus is burned, but the fire oil bomb in front of it is not.
Jian Xiao did not walk in front of the city gate of Brest, but stopped at a distance of about twenty paces outside the city gate, because there was a sparkling fire in front of him.
Pulling out her binoculars, Jane smiled and looked at Brest, but instead of the wailing and rolling soldiers at the top of the city, or the burned gates, he looked at the walls.
On the city wall, puddles of mud were slowly flowing down, extremely slowly, but outwardly wrapped in thick flames.
"Send men to guard the gates of the city, and plug the fish that leak through the net."
After looking at it for a long time, Jian Xiao put the telescope in her arms, turned the horse's head and walked in the direction from which she came.
There is no need to look at it.
Through simple observation, Jian Xiao already knew the difference between this fire oil bomb and a white phosphor egg.
If under the attack of white phosphorous eggs there are only ashes and corpses poisoned by white phosphorus smoke, then under the attack of fire oil bombs there are only charred corpses.
The fire oil bomb is actually very cruel, its cruelty is not the instantaneous and violent heat like the white phosphor, nor the poisonous smoke that is so toxic that it is enough to make people breathe hard and die instantly.
The cruelty of the fire oil bomb is that if you get it, then you can only watch yourself being scorched.
Moreover, the fire oil bomb will give you a kind of hope.
Gasoline with a viscous agent is like a big piece of snot that makes you feel like you can shake it off with a wipe, but it sticks firmly to you, and if you try to wipe it off, you will only get your hands on it.
Jian Xiao slowly walked in the direction of the Chinese army's tent, behind him, was the violently burning Brest, the burning man who rushed out of the fire one by one after the city gate was burned down, and the Ming army guarding the city gate.
Suddenly, Jane smiled and grabbed the reins and turned to look at Brest.
The Ming army was guarding the city gates, and the sabers in their hands were stained with napalm as they killed the remnants of the soldiers who had escaped from Brest.
The burning city, the fire man fleeing in all directions, the knife in his hand carries a formidable flame.
Seeing this scene, Jian Xiao suddenly thought of the European myths he had heard in the more than two years he had been fighting in Europe.
Isn't the sword with fire like the hellfire in European mythology?
It seems that the name of this hellish legion ...... I can't take it off.
What Jian Xiao didn't know was that this idea, which was originally just self-deprecation, had become a reality and had been spread.
……
Graz, Kingdom of Hungary.
It is a small town located in the northeast of Mohachi, at the foot of the Western Carpathian Mountains, and only about 20 miles to the south is the Danube, which flows from west to south.
The same night, the same siege, the same fire oil bombs......
Xing Kun, like Jian Xiao, stood outside the city, quietly watching Graz turn into a sea of fire.
In fact, Xing Kun was quite curious, curious about why Zhu Zhanyan, the son of King Wu who was supposed to be pampered, studying Cheng Zhu Lixue, and most unfortunate was also growing up studying rams, had so many strange ideas.
From potatoes and other new grains to white phosphosphere eggs, and now to the current fire oil bombs, perhaps we have to add the land with new grains thousands of miles away......
Xing Kun didn't know how Zhu Zhanyan knew this, he was very curious, but he also knew that this was not something he could ask, and he shouldn't ask.
"Report!"
Just when Xing Kun was still immersed in his thoughts, the voice of the herald pulled him back to reality.
"Say."
"According to the scouts on the hill, the city of Graz has been taken care of and can cease fire."
"I see." Xing Kun waved his hand, and then glanced at the prince guard beside him.
After all, Graz can't compare with a big city like Brest, and it doesn't take many fire oil bombs to cover it all.
Of course, there is also the credit of the people in the city of Graz, after all, after the body is on fire, even if you make the most correct decision to find a way to extinguish the fire on your body, you will still panic after finding that the fire of the oil bomb cannot be extinguished.
The most common behavior of people in panic is to flee.
They don't actually know where to run, but they subconsciously tell them to do it, even if it doesn't do any good to extinguish the fire, and even makes the fire on their body more difficult to extinguish.
But they have no choice, because there is almost no one who can remain sane in such a situation.
This makes them themselves accomplices in the spread of the flames.
Xing Kun looked at the artillery that had ceased fire, and then looked at Graz which was still burning behind him, pulled the reins, and controlled the war horse to walk towards the place where the Ming army was camped.
He is not the same as Jian Xiao, Jian Xiao is in the Eastern European battlefield, and the fire oil bomb is the weapon support that Zhu Zhan Yan gave them to lay the situation in the eastern battlefield, but Xing Kun also shoulders another task.
He had to write down a series of things such as the use and lethality of the fire oil bombs, as well as the results, and then report them to Zhu Zhan Yan in Vienna.
In addition to Graz, the same scene is playing out in the large basin of the Middle Danube Plain, such as Szeged, Bausao and Arad.
They were also led by the prince's guards, and they used fire oil bombs to attack one city after another, and then wrote one report after another, and finally sent the report to Vienna.
This is a new weapon test of the Ming army, but it is also a warning from the Ming army to this land in Europe.
