Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 124 Poison gas

"Chongxin, what do you think?" There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were flowing, Wufeng was noncommittal, and turned to look at the division head of the first main division under his command who had been following closely behind him without making a sound.

"My lord, what Lao Mu and Sha Lang said is also what my subordinates think. This Longdong is indeed a hot potato. According to my subordinates, it is hard to say whether Tianshui can withstand the current turbulent momentum of the Taiping Army. What's more, the Taiping Sect can also bypass Tianshui and press down from the north. They won't give us too much time. If we can't conquer Longdong Prefecture City in one fell swoop during this time, then we will be quite passive, and may even be involved. Affect the situation of Lulong." Liang Chongxin's words are not too new, but they are much more comprehensive, and they also take into account the changes in Lulong that have just been withdrawn.

"However, to conquer Longdong Prefecture in a short period of time, even if we do our best now, the victory will only be a miserable victory, which is quite unfavorable for our next plan. I checked the defense system of Longdong City, but I didn't find any good way." Liang Chongxin didn't hide his worry.

"Then Chongxin's view is not in favor of attacking Longdong now?" Wufeng was a little surprised. Although these objective factors exist, at least Liang Chongxin should be able to see the special status of Longdong in strategy. A certain price is also necessary, there is no doubt about it, but I don't seem to agree with what the other party said.

"No, my lord, you misunderstood. The battle of Longdong is inevitable. If we don't seize Longdong at this time, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for us in the future. The subordinates also judged that if we give up this opportunity now, we will just I'm afraid that the Tianshui controlled by the Third Highness will change hands sooner or later." Liang Chongxin shook his head resolutely, "It's just that this Longdong is indeed a hard bone, if we don't choose a good method, our teeth will be broken."

"Hehe, there is a way. There is no indestructible fortress in the world. The method is of course important. The most important thing is that we must build confidence first." Wu Feng could see that although his subordinates believed that Longdong could be captured, However, major losses are inevitable and will have a certain impact on future strategies, so I feel that it is necessary to boost morale, "Of course there will be sacrifices in war. The question is whether these sacrifices are worth it. My opinion is that Longdong must be won, and It must be won in a short time, no matter how much we pay."

"But you don't need to worry too much. Our combat readiness department and economic development department have already offered us some good things. I believe this battle is a good time for these things to play a role." Wave to strengthen momentum.

Seeing that the coach is so confident, all the generals are a little curious, Sha Lang couldn't help asking: "My lord, what kind of good thing is it? Can you tell me so that everyone can understand first."

"I will let you know, but I don't think this is what determines the outcome of the war. The final victory is still to be won by our brave fighters!" Wufeng's words are full of confidence.

Fan Yunhai painfully rubbed his big hands that had experienced many battles, and stared at the blood-soaked men on the city wall with perplexed eyes. As the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army in Longdong City, he thinks he is competent. Since the Shengjiao uprising, from Kansai to Beiyuan, he has commanded the army from small to large, and has gone through several large and small battles. Walking in the rainy wind, even Bo Xiang praised him, so he was quite proud of it. In fact, when the enemy came down from Zhegu Pass and Lulong Mansion, he had the information, and he wasn't worried. The 50,000 battle-tested elite troops, as well as Longdong, a well-repaired fortified city, Surplus strategic material preparations, although the food reserves are a little less, but Longdong City has a population of 300,000, so we only need to tighten up a little bit. It shouldn't be a big problem to persist for a month or two. Master has already calmed He Shuo down, right?

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, no matter how he broke his head, he never thought that the war would come to such a point, but the siege battle has only passed three days! This is how he can accept it, and now he has no way to parry and break it. He can only suffer in such a passive and embarrassing way, but if it is like this, how long can he persist?

Another puff of yellow smoke dispersed with the wind, and Fan Yunhai felt dizzy for a while. As soon as the smoke passed, tears flowed out of his eyes, and his vision suddenly became blurred. I lowered my eyes, but my eyes felt itchy and painful, and I couldn't open them at all. How can I fight this battle? It's unbearable to just stand there motionless, let alone confront the enemy with a knife and gun. Where does the division fight, it's just standing there with its head stretched out, waiting for the enemy to chop.

Where did Li Wufeng get this trick? Could it be that God is really on his side, and is so enamored with him? While Fan Yunhai was thinking about this painfully, at the other end of the battlefield two kilometers away, Wufeng was watching the development of the battle situation in front of him with great interest.

This is the third day of the siege battle, and the situation has become like this. The situation that was originally prepared to sacrifice a division or even 30,000 people has reversed, and it has suddenly become such a scene. It was shocking and joyful, and even Wufeng, who was somewhat prepared, was pleasantly surprised when he learned of this situation.

"My lord, this is a new product developed by our War Preparedness Agency and the Economic Development Agency. It may be useful for you to attack Longdong at this time." The shy young man in front of him presented this When the gift was generous, Wufeng didn't take it too seriously. This method of fuming the enemy is not new. It has been used in previous siege battles. Although it has a certain effect, it is ridiculous when it comes to relying on this thing to decide the battle situation. Just play some auxiliary role. Of course, the terrain of Longdong City is high in the east and low in the west, and the city's terrain is also the same. Using this trick will have a more obvious effect, but it will not achieve the result of turning things around.

Seeing the lack of attention in the coach's eyes was obvious, the young man was a little annoyed, and he emphasized his tone: "My lord, this is very different from what our army used before, and its effect is far from comparable to those before. If you don't believe me, You will lose a great opportunity! You will regret it forever!"

Seeing the young man's solemn expression, Wufeng put away his contempt and said with a serious face: "Oh? Then can you please explain to me, sir? Is this stuff different from before? How is the used wolf dung different?"

"Obey, my lord!" The young man seemed to be motivated by Wufeng's words, and he fought back without showing any weakness: "Although the smoke of wolf dung in the past was thick, it was not very effective in directly attacking the enemy. The main function is to cover the attack of our army with a smoke screen, and the secondary function is to have some attack effect on the eyes and nose of enemy soldiers, but according to our investigation, the second function is not good.”

"Aiming at this situation, we screened and tested, and finally found a cheap item that is rich in raw materials and easy to manufacture, and it has a very powerful lethality against enemy soldiers. Of course, this lethality must It’s on a certain occasion.” The young man became more and more excited as he talked, and the restraint and shyness at the beginning had long since disappeared.

"After experiments, we burned the branches and leaves of bitter cypress, a very common coniferous tree in the mountainous area of ​​Jinzhou. The smoke produced has a great killing effect on the eyes of the human body, and can cause temporary blindness in the eyes of the human body. , and the duration can reach more than six hours! In addition, we also conducted an incineration experiment on the oil squeezed from another common tree, the tung tree, and found that the burning of this oil will produce a very unpleasant smoke, which can make People feel nausea and vomiting until shock and coma, but the duration is only three hours. We mixed these two items and burned them, and found that the effects of the two did not affect each other, and even strengthened each other. Therefore, we recommend this new type of product to adults. The incendiary weapon——Tongbai poison gas!" The young man couldn't help stirring up the flying look on his face, and even the range of gestures to strengthen his tone became larger.

Wu Feng's heart skipped a beat, now is the time when the northwest wind is strong, if this kind of thing is burned under the city of Longdong, can it play a certain role?

"I don't know if our soldiers can take some precautionary measures to avoid catastrophe once this kind of thing burns." Wufeng is already considering the possibility of using this kind of thing in actual combat.

"Of course! When we developed this kind of thing, we also worked out countermeasures. We only need to wash our eyes with one kind of medicinal solution before entering the smoky place, and then take another kind of medicinal solution to ensure No worries, it’s just a little discomfort at most. And people who don’t take preventive measures will be dizzy, blind and in shock!” The young man answered confidently, obviously realizing that the coach’s interest has come up, and his speech is even more serious. Spirit Multiplier ~IndoMTL.com~ Very good, how many of these things have you brought this time? "Wu Feng was excited again. It seems that his initial investment was not in vain, and finally it has achieved some results. After this battle is over, he has to take a good look at this impromptu patchwork. Is it possible to set up a special organization.

"Don't worry, my lord, this kind of thing has a lot of raw materials, and it can burn for a long time. After we developed it, we reported it to Lord Xiao and Lord Rao. Both Lord Xiao and Lord Rao arranged for it to be prepared in advance." The quantity, according to our speculation, should be able to meet the needs of adults this time." When the young man mentioned Xiao Tang and Rao, he was very respectful, probably because he was very grateful for the support given by these two people.

"Okay, then I want to see how effective the things you have developed are!" Wufeng didn't think too much about it anymore, the battle in Longdong has become a difficult situation right now, even without these objective factors, this Every battle must be fought, and must be won, otherwise his plan to plot the Central Plains will be in vain. To have such a hidden weapon, no matter how effective it is, is better than nothing. Until the moment before using it, Wufeng didn't have much confidence in his heart .

The history books of later generations have studied and discussed the impact of this battle on Wufeng. They did not pay much attention to the outcome of this battle and its strategic role. Touched by the concept of frontier military. "Since the First World War in Longdong, the change in the concept of His Majesty the Emperor has directly contributed to the establishment of the Imperial Military Research Institute and the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the two major institutions that supported the military and economic development of the empire in the later period. The new carriages and Tongbai poisonous gas brought The benefit is the key to the transformation of His Majesty the Emperor." ————Excerpted from "Leap - A Brief Discussion on the Power of Concept Change"
