Turbulent Times Chapter 1439: flamethrower

"Kill, kill, kill!" A large group of soldiers ran across the trench bridge holding their shields, carrying carbine guns and antlers.

The crossbowmen stood far away, relying on their superior crossbows and bows, to carry out the final suppression to the top of the city. Except for the eight bull crossbows in the city, even if ordinary bows and arrows could be shot in front of them, they were already gone. It is difficult to produce a killing effect, so they have no scruples at all, and wantonly carry out suppressive attacks.

Soldiers of the Far East Army quickly set up horse-repelling guns and antler formations near the city gate, because during the siege, even if the attacker has cavalry, it is difficult to get close to the city, but the city and the urn outside the city gate can be dispatched at any time. Qingqi kills the siege soldiers, so obstacles should be placed near the city gate to prevent them from being attacked.

Because of the suppression and cover of the crossbow arrows from the rear, the defenders on the city did not dare to stand up and shoot arrows at will. The scattered arrows only injured a few soldiers. These soldiers set up obstacles and a large number of ladders were pushed away Crossed the moat bridge.

Under Li Jing's command, if an ordinary ladder is placed on the city wall, countless rams with a length of several feet will immediately protrude from the city. Many soldiers on the ground crashed to the ground.

However, the advanced weapons of the Far Eastern Army made their attack very effective. When the ingeniously designed hook on the top of the ladder hit the wall, it firmly bit the city wall, and the ram could not break it at all. In fact, the Far Eastern Army who attacked the city could climb at full speed without taking care of the ladders at all. Many soldiers also climbed up with long knives in their mouths with the help of stepping arrows shot on the city wall.

It's just that Li Jing is Li Jing after all, and there is only one person who can be called the God of War in Chinese history. Many mouthfuls of long black barrels were rolled out.

Wang Junlin stood on the nest car outside the city and watched from a distance, and saw that the front end of the long black barrel suddenly spewed out long tongues of fire, and the flames fell on the ladder and immediately attached to it, burning violently. I was speechless, I didn't expect that Boling County... even had a flamethrower? Could this also be the means brought by Li Jing?

Wang Junlin has the scientific experience of later generations, and he can tell at a glance that this weapon is really like a clumsy flamethrower, and it is indeed a weapon for defending the city. And he can also think that the so-called fierce

Fire is actually the combustion of oil in later generations, but in this era it is still called fierce fire oil. Those black barrels are made of hard iron, with a nozzle on it, which can continuously inject oil, and a fan cylinder at the back, which can compress air , everyone in the middle is corrupt, the water cannot be extinguished, and the lethality is extremely great.

After confirming the efficacy of this object, Wang Junlin ordered the soldiers next to him: "Record this object, after breaking through the city, find the real thing, take it back to Fanyang County and hand it over to Yancheng for research."

The personal soldiers respectfully said yes, and hurriedly took out a pamphlet and charcoal pen to quickly write down Wang Junlin's instructions. Every entourage and soldier around Wang Junlin will carry a charcoal pencil with him, which is their habit and requirement.

Following that, Wang Junlin immediately ordered more than a dozen watchtowers to approach the enemy's formation. These watchtowers are much higher than the city walls. , Targeted shooting of specific groups of people.

These more than a dozen watchtowers approached, condescending, flying arrows like locusts, specially shooting and killing the defenders manipulating the fire barrel, and the Hercules thrower threw grenades, which exploded on the top of the city together with the fire oil barrel , The defenders were killed by the explosion, and the people were set ablaze, screaming, and they were all pushed off the top of the wall by Li Jing's indifferent order.

At this moment, the defenders no longer dared to ignite the oil barrel at will, but Li Jing's methods were more than that. Following his order, the defenders in the city immediately opened the fire on both sides and above the oil barrel. Flip the baffle, and at the same time organize special archers to shoot at the soldiers on the watchtower.

Of course, the siege battle is not just a display of strange weapons, nor can it be won just based on whether these are advanced. The final victory or defeat still has to be manipulated by humans. Otherwise, Wang Junlin would just throw the explosives and blow up the city wall.

Besides, at least in terms of geographical advantage, the defenders in the city have the upper hand. The defenders and the attacking soldiers fought **** battles around the three walls of the city. when.

The yaksha rolled and fell down the city wall. The countless sharp spikes on it pierced the soldiers' heads and blood. When a yaksha was thrown down, many soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. Many sharp wooden stakes were inserted firmly, piercing their intestines.

A wooden donkey cart that attacked the city gate was hit by iron and wood

The top was pierced, and then heavy fire oil was poured from above, followed by a torch thrown down, many soldiers were on fire, screaming from under the wings of the wooden donkey cart that could block rolling stones and arrows He ran out and was shot dead on the ground by random arrows.

The banner is waved, the beacon smoke is like a cloud, the golden drum is beating, and the sound of killing is like a tide.

Dozens of huge explosive packs whizzed and hit the top of the city. Amidst the sound of the explosion, although the defenders retreated fast enough, there were still many casualties, and the specially thickened and reinforced top of the city was also shattered.

Subsequently, a series of ladders climbed up the city wall, people gathered like ants, arrows flowed like rain, swords, swords and shadows were everywhere on the top of the city, rolling wood and rocks, boiling soup and boiling oil, poured down without hesitation, poured out Screams of screams and arrows were also quickly killing the soldiers at the top of the city.

From time to time, someone rushed up the city wall, but was desperately suppressed by the defenders, and the people behind stepped on the corpses of their comrades and rushed up without hesitation; Countless soldiers were smashed to pieces; sometimes someone was covered in flames, waving his hands and fell to the top of the city in despair; It flew upside down for more than four feet.

Everyone is playing the role of the **** of death who takes life and death, and is also playing the life of being harvested. But they didn't hesitate for a moment. As fighters, their lives are for the glory of this moment.

The battle continued non-stop. At noon, Wang Junlin was still standing motionless in the middle of the army watching the enemy. When he needs to sacrifice, he can only force himself to be cold-blooded, even though these sacrifices may not be necessary or can be avoided completely.

As a matter of fact, Wang Junlin still has a tricky way to capture the city, and the loss will not be too great, but that will make the army rely on the siege battle, just like this time, the gunpowder that was relied on in the past failed , The morale of the Far Eastern Army was suddenly affected, so Wang Junlin decided to use as little gunpowder weapons as possible this time to capture the city guarded by the military **** Li Jing.
