Chapter 491: Flames!
The rainforests of Southeast Asia are an interesting area, with so much humidity and temperature that you don't feel the dryness of the north even in spring and autumn.
But this is not to say that the forests here cannot be ignited, on the contrary, there are some forests in this place, and they are extremely prone to fire......
For example, there are two hills on the edge of the Erdaowan River.
Almost all the children of Mengneng know one thing, that is, the stickier and softer the leaves of the paving road in the mountains, the more they cannot go deeper.
The fallen leaves in the woods are not cleaned all year round, and the surrounding environment affects them, so they are easy to rot, and when these things decay and are covered by new fallen leaves, biogas will be formed.
In the past, the villages around Mengneng were looking for such forests to light fires, and after a fire burned over, the dark mountain was very suitable for planting, because the nutrients were left in the soil, which was called slash-and-burn farming.
Before Yang Rong put his battalion into the river, he had already carefully explored the surrounding forests, and even smelled a faint stench in the forest......
If it was normal, Yang Rong might not care about this smell, but after Bu Zhea left, in order to ensure that the flaws around the troops would not be found when the enemy attacked, he specially checked the source of the smell in the forest, especially the moment when the leaves covered with the smell were lifted and the rotten sticky matter was turned up with the leaves, Yang Rong's eyes completely lit up!
Everyone else just bent over and retched, but what Yang Rong saw was an opportunity!
Under the cover of the foliage of the place, a natural rotting pond has formed, and the rotten pond is constantly emitting foul-smelling gases with the humid heat......
"Ready!"
On the hillside behind Erdaowan, several greenskins held kettles and collectively lit the narrow strip of cloth stuffed on the mouth of the kettle, which was not filled with water, but gasoline specially made from armored vehicles.
Call!
When the strip of cloth was ignited, the voice of the battalion commander came again: "Throw! ”
Swish!!
Several kettles were thrown at the opposite hill from a high place, from high to low to be able to throw farther, and the marching kettle was also used to fill gasoline to throw farther, so that the kettle could easily cross the distance between the two mountains, from one mountain to the other mountain......
Followed by......
Several kettles poured out gasoline in the shock of the landing, and the strips of cloth that were still burning ignited the dead leaves in the forest along the gasoline, and the next second......
Rumble!
A sound that was slightly quieter than the explosion, but had a definite ignition effect, sounded in the main forest, and at that time, every greenskin soldier in Erdaowan seemed to hear the sound of burning, yes, even if there was no large-scale explosion when the methane gas was ignited, it still had a sound.
Yang Rong was surprised when he looked at the flames that appeared in the forest, the special blue color made people unable to associate with the fire, and the burning momentum of the rapid upward climb was unpredictable, as if the hellfire summoned by the devil using the magic array began to burn wildly in the mountains and forests.
The methane ignited the dead branches and dry leaves in the forest, and the high temperature at noon forced all the resin from the trees to become an accelerant, and the whole forest went from a blue flame to a red flame that was sticky with resin, almost in the blink of an eye.
"Fire!"
"It's on fire!"
The moment the flames were ignited, the Eastern Shan troops turned around and ran, they kept stepping on the soft leaves under their feet, and each foot could bring out a stream of dark blue fire, many people were caught by this flame, and fell to the ground at the moment of jumping.
There is more than one such rotten pond in the mountains, all of which are soaked out of leaves, which are covered by high temperatures during the day and damp at night, which breeds countless bacteria, which creates so much biogas.
The movement of the Eastern Shan State Army upset the balance under the layers of leaves, leaving the gaps in the layers of leaves, and then the moment the methane rose from the ground under their feet, the burning resin and dry branches and dead leaves were ignited again.
"Commander, isn't that right? How come it has only been so long, and the whole mountain has been set on fire! ”
The commander of the first battalion made this fire scared, watching the red and blue flames boiling on the mountain, and the whole mountain had a dynamic effect, and that feeling was not something that ordinary people could withstand.
But this thing doesn't work at all!
Many of the mountains on this side have been untouched for decades, and the dry branches and dead leaves have fallen all over the ground over time, not to mention the resin on the trees, these things are not sticky to the fire, let alone deliberately set fire?
For decades, the fallen leaves that have fallen on top of each other have been soaked in the sun over the years, and soaked in dew overnight, so is that good?
The flames began to climb up the mountain along the dead grass and branches that had been burned, and almost in the blink of an eye, the whole mountain was completely lit into a huge torch, and the fire raged.
"Ah!!h
In the fire on the mountain, an East Shan soldier rushed out after being ignited, and the hair on his head was just stained with a little spark and quickly set on fire, and the frightened run seemed to be a person running in front of the fire and chasing behind, and finally it may be too hot, this kid went underground, began to roll down the hillside, and rolled out of the fire all the way.
Phew!
The tragic state of his mixed body and burning made the first battalion commander unbearable, and as soon as he saw this person rolling down, he immediately shot and ended his life.
In the next second, another mountain next to Erdaowan also burned, the same blue flames soared upward, the same red flames burned the trees, and the same screams were frequently heard in the mountains and forests.
The two groups of people who Lin Minxian ordered to go up the mountain failed to gain a firm foothold, whether they were occupying the commanding heights or looking for a place to set up artillery positions, they were all swallowed up in the flames.
In this case, the soldiers of the Eastern Shan State who went up the mountain could not even run away, and the fire did not burn according to the position of the trees, but where the sparks burst out, the methane gas would escalate the sparks into surging flames, and the blue flames would ignite the dead branches on the top of the trees, so that a clearing that was not covered by flames would suddenly be surrounded by a sea of fire, and even the surrounding temperature would rise.
When you lift your nose and smell it, you can smell a smell of burnt meat......
And, filled the ears with screams.
"Ahh Yes! Yes!!! ”
"Ah!!h
Yes, there is only this one movement, and no one thinks about language anymore at this time, and it has become a gift from God to be able to shout out and relieve the pain.
At noon, there were already many evaporating black smoke rising into the sky from the two mountain bags, and there were still glittering fires from a distance...... (End of chapter)
