592 Heavenly Fire Descends
There are really many eunuchs who led troops in Chinese history, such as Tong Guan of the Song Dynasty and Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures of the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless eunuchs who are the eunuchs who supervise the army.
An Dehai, as the most favored eunuch under Cixi, naturally wants to be on a par with his predecessors, if he has the qualifications to lead troops to win a battle, he will have it in this life.
The excited An Dehai ordered the whole army to charge on the spot, and no matter what the queue tactics were, the horses and soldiers rushed to the new army's military formation, and the first in the cavalry tide was Mailer, who wanted to atone for his crimes.
If there are tens of thousands of people, boundless, plus the charge of three thousand war horses, the momentum is really like the sky falling apart. The earth began to tremble violently, and men cried out like ghosts.
Now those young men in the new army are stupid, they have seen such a scale of Armageddon there, one by one two wars and even peed their pants.
At this time, we can see the combat effectiveness of the new army, especially the soldiers who have experienced the test of the European battlefield, and the hands holding the weapons with resolute eyes are also extremely steady.
"What are you afraid of... We've survived the battle of millions of people, so what's there to fear?"
"All mercenaries listen, all you have to do is listen to our commands, and after a while, our veterans will rush out with you, throw the grenade clean, even if you complete the task, even if you turn around and flee for your life, we won't stop you......"
"Don't be afraid, folks, we pay you to drop grenades...... Once you've lost your grenades, you'll be able to escape......"
The new army was shouting, the people were persuading, and in the end, even Xiao Lotian yelled, "What are the ghosts crying... Lao Tzu doubled the reward, and I will definitely not let you suffer...... There is a blue sky on my head, I want to hack your money, so let me hit five thunders in the sky..."
Not to mention, the ancients swore that under the encouragement of heavy money, those young men also broke out a little fiercely Since they chose the road of selling their lives, then even if they knelt, they would finish him.
The charging Mailer was already crazy, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he knew that this was his last chance, and if he lost this time, then the court would definitely not bypass him.
"Charge, charge...... Drive the horses into them... Tear apart their formations and slash Xiao Lotian ......" His face was already hideous, and now he has completely gone berserk.
And the Huai troops who blocked the three sides were also crazy, at this moment they were no longer afraid of the threat of those snipers, and jumped out of the canal and the dense forest one by one, standing in the rain curtain waving weapons and roaring.
As for An Dehai and Li Hongzhang, who were standing at the back of the battlefield, they were already drunk, and they were already immersed in the atmosphere of the upcoming victory and could not extricate themselves.
Li Hongzhang clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, good, no matter how fierce the firepower of those four rapid-fire guns is, they can't tear through such a heavy crowd of attackers, especially those war horses, as long as they rush into the formation, we will win......"
An Dehai also smiled, "What did the miscellaneous family say? Fighting still depends on a large number of people, so Xiao Letian has more than a thousand guns, let him shoot with his life, how many can he kill? Hahaha......"
The charging army formation was getting closer and closer, and the heavy rain and mud restricted the speed of the cavalry, and now this group of cavalry did not even have the usual speed of one-third, and this qiē was in Xiao Letian's eyes.
"Hehe, the cavalry has no speed, it's a group of live targets... I bear the sin of today's massacre Xiao Letian, and you forced me to do this...... Let's do it to the new army..."
Xiao Letian gave an order, and countless veterans in the battle formation began to order in unison, "Follow me and rush out...... Don't be afraid, listen to my orders, and we'll leave after throwing the grenade...... Don't be afraid, listen to orders and live ......"
"Kill..."The young men with hideous faces may have been crazy once in their lives, and they were inspired by the heavy reward to follow the pace of the veterans and rush up against the group of cavalry.
100 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters, when the crowd of charging people rushed to a distance of forty meters, the legs of this group of young men were already frightened, and at this time, the veterans in the team yelled "Throw them out, blow them up......
The long flintlock rope was pulled off, the white smoke of the fuse came out of the root of the grenade, and the 'fat man' was thrown out with all his strength, bursting and blooming on the head of the cavalry tide.
Bang bang bang...... There was a muffled sound on the battlefield, not the roar of a real grenade, but a silent explosion with the sound of glass shattering.
"What the hell is this? What the hell is this...... countless people subconsciously asked, as they found that the explosion above their heads did not produce a shock wave or fragments, but instead spilled countless murky liquids with the rain.
Suddenly, a cavalryman screamed, followed by a horse under his crotch, and leaned back and overturned the cavalry and the horses around him.
Everyone looked at it, and the cavalryman was actually burning with orange flames, and the flames could not be extinguished even by heavy rain.
"Ah...... Kill me... It hurts......" The struggling soldier on the ground was trampled to death by the horse's hooves without a few shouts, but the strange flames on his body were not extinguished, and even burned on the water.
Before the soldiers could react, more grenades exploded in mid-air, and countless terrible turbid liquids mixed with rain splashed on people's bodies, burning immediately as soon as they touched the flesh.
Five hundred young people threw five hundred 'fat man' grenades, after throwing them away, the veteran yelled "withdraw to the formation, save the use of ......" but there are always reckless people, with a shake of the hand, the last grenade was pulled apart, and the fat man exploded in his hand, and more than a dozen young men around him were all splashed with muddy liquid.
"Get out of the way of them...... This flame cannot be extinguished...... Get out of the way......" The veterans retreated with the young men, leaving the more than a dozen burning young men screaming on the battlefield.
The skin and flesh were scorched by the flames, revealing the bright red flesh and blood inside, and finally burned out the bones directly, and the screams suddenly resounded in the sky, and the young and strong villagers in the team knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, but all the new troops controlled them and refused to let them save them.
"Stop, everyone stand, the fat man's flame can't even be extinguished by the torrential rain, and whoever of you gets stained dies...... Remember, they've already taken the money for their lives..."
At this time, the tide of cavalry on the opposite side had been drowned by this strange fire, five hundred fat grenades exploded in mid-air, the turbid liquid covered nearly two-thirds of the team, the fire was already raging in the military formation, countless cavalry and war horses were swallowed by the flames, and the screams were earth-shattering.
"Ahh Help me...... It hurts...... Who's going to save me......"
"Give me a knife, old and young masters, give me a knife...... Let me die a happy death, please give me a knife ......"
"What the hell is this? God, what the hell is this......"
Now the cavalry tide could not be gathered, the sore war horses ran around, and the Gatling and snipers of the new army also opened fire, leaving all those fish that slipped through the net on the battlefield.
Once the cavalry tide collapsed, the infantry behind was even more dumbfounded, who dared to break into this sea of fire, and stood in place one by one in fright, their eyes as round as eggs.
"Oh my God, is this a heavenly fire?" I cāo, Xiao Lotian can control the heavenly fire...... "Everyone collapsed, because none of them had ever seen a heavenly fire that could not be extinguished by heavy rain, and this was not a weapon that human beings could fight against at all.
Xiao Letian's eyes were red, he forcibly endured the nausea in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Have I also become a devil? How can I bring this weapon to the world, I have really changed?"
The white phosphorus bomb, a very terrifying chemical weapon brought by Xiao Lotian to the nineteenth century, was made by a very simple, but also dangerous, ordinary wine bottle filled with a cloudy liquid of white phosphorus and water and tightly corked with a wooden cork and wax seal.
White phosphorus is a very flammable and highly toxic dangerous product, as long as 40 degrees Celsius can ignite it, and white phosphorus can be burned on water, just like oil, it cannot be extinguished with water.
White phosphorus is stored in the bottle and can be stored at room temperature because it cannot remove air. Then a thin iron shell is placed on the outside of this wine bottle, and a layer of granular gunpowder is mixed between the wine bottle and the iron sheet.
When the grenade's flintlock is ignited, the time-lapse fuse ignites the layer of black powder, and a slight explosion can shatter the glass bottle and throw out the cloudy liquid of white phosphorus and water.
As soon as the white phosphorus meets the oxygen, and the gunpowder burns with a sufficient temperature, the liquid will adhere to a qiē object and begin to burn violently, and the flame temperature can reach a terrifying 1,000 degrees Celsius.
This is the principle of the fat man, a simplest chemical weapon, not only the combustion brings harm, but the smoke and dust from the combustion of white phosphorus is even more poisonous, and it is not surprising that the war horse smells this poisonous gas with the smell of garlic.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, the Israelis used this weapon when they attacked Gaza, and the U.S. military also used this weapon in the two Gulf Wars, of course, they used an upgraded version and Xiao Lotian is the most primitive model.
Whether primitive or not, the effect is amazing, especially against the army of the Middle Ages, a flame that cannot be extinguished by the rain can only make people associate with the heavenly fire, and superstitious thoughts instantly occupy everyone's hearts.
Mailer was lucky to escape the fire of white phosphorus, but the last bit of fighting spirit in his heart was also burned to ashes by this sudden fire, he looked at the hell behind him, and then looked at the new army position with long guns and short guns in front of him, he knew that his last moment had come.
"Your Majesty... The Queen Mother... Why didn't anyone accept Xiao Letian's demon... What the hell is going on with us in Daqing...... Kill—" Melle clenched his saber and rushed towards the Forces nouvelles.
"Cowards... You're all cowards...... Who dares to fight me...... Have a fight with me in a dignified manner...... I don't accept Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is skilled in bows and horses, and Lao Tzu is the warrior Baturu of the Qing Dynasty..."
Syllable...... After a melodious gunshot, Ye Qiu glanced at him contemptuously, and then loaded his own Mauser with a bullet, "What about Baturu? Lao Tzu is a sniper of the new army, one bullet destroys an enemy, who still plays with you with a knife......?"
