Chapter 571

Airships are a great tool, and the airships in the sky throw incendiary bombs on the heads of those trebuchets with impunity. Many people tried to extinguish the fire on the trebuchet, only to be engulfed in blazing flames.

When I got to the Middle East, this little benefit, the oil barrel was enough. Because of the secrecy of nitro gunpowder, the bombs were all transported from Datang. It's so tight to use!

But the fire oil bombs are no longer needed, they are all poured out of the oil refinery. It was directly transported to the front line by ship and airship, so Yun Hao's fire oil bomb was very luxurious.

The trebuchets on the head of the city were almost burned, and the artillery began to fire at close range. As for those arrow towers, they were not in Yun Hao's consideration. The range of their crossbows is far from that of artillery.

This time, the artillery was not aimed at the city gates. but the defenders at the head of the city, for the distance was not more than a mile and a half. The artillery fire was very accurate, basically where someone showed their head, there would be shells coming to greet them.

In the end, the city was bare and there was not a single arrow tower. As for those who are active in the city, there is absolutely no such thing. It doesn't matter if you're holding a shield, or hiding in the tower. Powerful artillery will kill you in an instant!

Powerful chemical kinetic energy, constantly ejecting projectiles. Destroy everything that stands in its way!

The fire oil bombs burned, and the shells were cleared at fixed points. There were no more moving creatures at the head of Jerusalem, and the gates burned like a great torch.

Three days, three days left the defenders with heavy casualties. New troops are constantly being brought here, and people are constantly being reduced to ashes here. This seems to have become a contest between human life and fire oil bombs, and the local commander seems to feel that as long as this drags on. The Don Army's oil bombs or shells will be exhausted!

In fact, every night Yun Hao was able to receive supplies from the seaside. Airships can cross any land obstacle and deliver fire and powder shells to the front line. Of course, there are far more fire oil bombs than powder bombs.

The defenders of the city could no longer hold on, when the sun rose again. When the artillery of the Don army pushed the walls of Jerusalem again, thousands of cavalry rushed out of the city.

Yun Hao smiled! I know that they can't hold on, and now they are out desperately. wanted to use this thousand people as a price to kill the two artillery pieces of the Tang army. Of course, Yun Hao will not let them succeed, and now there are these two artillery pieces in the Western Expeditionary Army. In the future, the city will be conquered, and it will all be pointed at these two things.

Of course, Yun Hao would not be stupid enough to use cavalry to cut them down. The guys were armed with strong plate armor and carried long riding spears in their hands. These things are not something that these light cavalry under Yun Hao can deal with.

Although these heavy cavalry charged like a tsunami, their weakness was their bulkiness. No matter how good the physical strength of a horse is, it is absolutely impossible to carry such a heavy weight for a long time.

The trebuchet starts as soon as possible, throwing something black and exploding in the air. Then countless sparkling little things were sprinkled on the ground! Countless triangular nails landed on the rough earth, and the sharp spikes under the rising sun emitted a cold light.

The artillery, dragged by the bullock, was slowly rushing back. It's not that the gunner doesn't want to be faster, it's just that the gun is too heavy. A sturdy yak can only be dragged at this speed.

After a round of fire, a sparkling field was left behind the artillery. Obviously, the knights of the West have not seen the power of such triangular nails. If the Turkic cavalry were here, they would immediately slow down their horses. Then retreat as fast as you can! They have eaten too much of this thing, and countless warriors have died under this thing.

When the first horse neighed and fell to its knees, the knight on the horse was not prepared in the slightest. He didn't understand why the war horse under his crotch suddenly fell to his knees. His heavy body was thrown out with the wind, and after the heavy armor came into close contact with Mother Earth, he could no longer get up.

There were so many people who were in the same situation as him that no one knew what was going on. Many people even thought that it was ancient magic from the Far East. When they went out to fight in the city, the holy water sprinkled on the armor of the priests was obviously not effective against this advanced magic.

The knights wanted to stop, but the charge didn't mean they could stop if they stopped. Heavy war horses, plus heavy people on war horses, this kind of speed to gallop and want to stop immediately is basically a luxury.

Knights are constantly falling in the way of the charge, and the knights behind them will soon repeat the same mistakes. There are too many triangular nails, and there are tens of thousands of them. A thousand knights were killed half of them without even touching the hair of the artillery.

Finally, they paved the shiny strip with corpses. The knight's long spear was aimed at the hateful Tang Army, who had no chivalry at all. I always dare not fight with dignity!

For the results of the triangular nails, Yun Hao was very satisfied. These tendonous guys are much easier to deal with than the Turks.

The artillery was still retreating, but the Eight Bull Crossbows had already been pushed to the front. With Sheng Yanshi's order, dozens of eight-bull crossbows were launched at the same time. Countless gunpowder crossbows flew towards the charging knights with green smoke, and the fuses of the gunpowder crossbows were very short. Before he could hit the ground, it exploded in the air. Countless steel balls scattered with the explosion, and the plate armor on the knights was able to withstand the arrows. But the steel ball, which produces a powerful speed of such an explosion, is not protected at all.

The sturdy plate armor was torn apart like pieces of paper, and countless holes were shot out of the knight's body, which was heavily wrapped in plate armor and chain mail.

The knights, along with their horses, fell to the ground screaming. Blood continued to flow outward from small holes in the armor.

The knight, who ran at the front, was only a little more than a hundred paces away from the artillery. Their spears seemed to be about to stab the damned Tang people. It was at this time that they suddenly crashed into a wall. A wall of countless crossbow arrows!

The distance is only two hundred paces, which is the best shooting distance for the Datang crossbow. At this distance, even sturdy plate armor could not withstand the fire of the Tang Dynasty's strong crossbow.

The dense fire knocked the knight off the horse, and the men and horses were full of arrows. There are dead people and horses lying on the ground everywhere, and the power of the Datang crossbow is very guaranteed.

The 1,000 elite heavy cavalry that rushed out of the city gate after a few rounds of blows were now less than a hundred.

The majestic sea caracer smiled and put down his armor, and with a loud roar, he rushed forward with two hundred Datang heavy armored cavalry. This is all the heavy cavalry of the Western Expeditionary Army, and good steel is used on the blade. Now, it's time to use good steel.

Two hundred people can't beat a hundred, and it's clear that it's bullying you.

No one under Xiong Ye used a saber or that thing, they all used maces in their hands. And it's all mace of pure steel!

Against heavy cavalry, in fact, broadswords and spears are no longer useful. The best thing to use is this blunt weapon strike weapon, with a knife cutting a white line and a gun piercing a white dot.

The mace is different, and there are no scars on the surface of the armor when it is smashed on the body. The people inside were indeed internally wounded, and smashing them on the head could kill them or knock them out in an instant. Even if it hits your back, it will probably break your spine. You can't take care of yourself in this life!

With the mace of horse speed, it is a nightmare for heavy cavalry.

Inside the telescope, watch as two clouds of smoke are getting closer. In the end, they slammed into each other, and there were constant shouts and curses, blade strikes, and screams and wails from the smoke.

After a long while, the smoke finally fell. The war horse strolls on the battlefield, constantly arching the owner with his nose. Those who can sit on horseback are all cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. None of those elite knights are alive.

The ox cart turned around and began to slowly approach the walls again. This time, there was no movement in the city. The knight species is also a scarce product in the West. Even if it's a big lord, it's not much. To be able to piece together a knight at one time, this lord of Jerusalem is already very remarkable.

There was no one on the walls of Jerusalem anymore, and countless soldiers rushed up to it. Collect the triangular nails that fall on the ground, and more often fill in the trenches outside the city walls with shovels.

The trenches were covered with sharpened wood and were now buried by the soldiers.

Deterred by artillery, not a single defender appeared at the head of the city. It took only half a day for the deep trench in front of the wall to be filled. The soldiers climbed the city wall with great difficulty with ladders, and there was not a single defender on the wall. The ground was littered with rubble, and there were corpses that no one had collected. Where the flames had been burned yesterday were nothing but charred and twisted corpses.

When the huge city gate was opened, there was a huge cheer from the camp of the Tang army.

The Tang sergeant held a sword in his hand, and poured into this historical city like a tide. They don't care about faith, they care about the riches, the endless riches. Grandpa Guo said that the dome of the temple here is made of gold. Not like Damascus, which fools people with gold dust.

While the main defensive force has been destroyed, the power of faith is limitless. Whether you believe in Jesus Christ or Allah. Or the remnants of the Jews! The men spontaneously took up arms against the infidel attacks.

The Tang people are heretics to all of them!

Street fighting inevitably broke out, and Yun Hao didn't expect it. During the siege battle, in the face of the powerful heavy cavalry, there were few casualties. But in the street fighting, the Tang army suffered heavy losses.

I have to say that the power of faith is terrifying, Yun Hao saw with his own eyes that someone poured fire oil on his whole body. After igniting, he jumped down from a high place, hugged a soldier of the Tang Army and did not let go. Until the flames engulf two people together!

Yun Hao also saw that whether it was the elderly, women, or children. They all took up arms, and those who had no weapons took stones. Trying to stop the Tang Dynasty soldiers from entering those sacred places.

At the beginning, the Tang army was quite restrained, and he would let women, children and the elderly go. After all, it's not good to kill them! But after a few rounds of attacks, I saw my brother who was still stirring a horse spoon in a pot in the morning died tragically in front of him. No one could remain calm, and so the massacre, regardless of race, age, or boundary, began.

Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin's order was that as long as the eyes seemed to be able to move, they would go up and cut it. Those who hid in the house and resisted stubbornly lit a fire and burned it.

In just one morning, they lost hundreds of their brothers. This is ten times more than the number of battle losses in the battle of Damascus!

These are all veterans who have been fighting with them for many years, and many of them still dream of returning home in the morning. Now, it has become a charred corpse on the ground that can't even be recognized.

Hordes of soldiers rampaged through the streets, slaughtering house by house along the streets.

Yun Hao watched all this, but he was powerless and didn't want to stop it. Armies are simple machines of violence, and when the machine is aroused enough rage, the consequences are quite terrible.

The smell of blood permeated every street in Jerusalem, and the closer they got to the religious shrine, the stronger the resistance of the Tang army became. Those people were even unarmed, and they dared to pounce on the Tang soldiers who were holding horizontal knives.

To march forward is to step on the corpses of dead men, and with each step forward, the corpses on the ground are paved with a layer. Sticky blood soaked the land and the roads became muddy.

Everyone tries to keep their balance, and if you slip and fall, you'll be hit by countless stones. The sturdy ones will also pounce on them from a high place with a dagger, although they will be chopped into pulp. But as long as they can stab an enemy soldier before they die, they think that their death is worthwhile.

The war was going on with unusually tragic intensity, and Li Zhi looked at all this with a pale face. It wasn't the war he imagined, and it was completely different from what he had experienced before. Leaning against the wall, he began to vomit, he had already vomited several times today. Now I can only vomit the sour water in my stomach, and the little I ate in the morning has long since vomited. Even Li Zhi regretted it a little, because Mao wanted to eat that damn breakfast.

"Check it out! This is war, and everything is done. even fought for his life, completely disregarding his own life and death. War is great, war is mean. Your grandfather, your father. It was from such a war that he came through and finally created the powerful Tang Empire. I! It's a privilege to be a part of it!

Check it out! The situation in Luoyang City was even more miserable than this. I once saw how Uncle Ma, who eats people, is divided and eaten by the people of Luoyang. I once saw the invincible Wang Shichong, who was imprisoned by your father like a dog.

Jieli, who crisscrosses the grassland, can be on an equal footing with your father at the beginning. But now I can only be in Chang'an City, like a joke.

Check it out! This is what the war that has led countless heroes to bend their waists is like this. In addition to blood and steel knives, there is only the light of human nature, and the catharsis of animal nature. Hack the enemy to death and you can save your comrades. Hack the enemy to death and you can live.

This is war! ”
