Chapter 244: Fire
Although he sighed like this, Chen Xin did not worry too much, because when the General Staff Department was formulating the plan, it had already planned for this situation, and with the current situation, it was completely possible to "set a formula".
In particular, the Houjin army was besieged in the Hufeiling Mountain Range, surrounded by sparse population, without any towns and villages, and was not afraid of accidental injury, so those shady and cruel methods could also be used openly.
Therefore, after listening to the report, Chen Xin asked everyone to check the preparations made before the general attack again, and after confirming that there were no omissions, Chen Xin personally issued the order to launch the general attack.
With the falcon delivering the order at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, it reached the front line.
In the early morning of the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, as if countless dragons were soaring into the sky, the No. 3 rockets, with a total number of 1,600, were launched towards the camp of the Houjin army.
This No. 3 rocket is a practical large-scale rocket that has been greatly improved on the basis of the original No. 1 rocket.
There are several different models of the No. 3 rocket, and the most basic model is called the No. 3 A, which is 1 meter long, 0.1 meters in diameter, weighs 25 kilograms, is equipped with a balance bar up to 4 meters long, and has a range of 3,000 meters.
When the general offensive was launched, the rocket used by the Huaxia Army to carry out salvo firing was the No. 3 C type, which was a special type of rocket.
The warhead of this No. 3C rocket is filled with other temporarily unusable derivatives other than kerosene produced after petroleum distillation, and in order to increase the killing effect, a viscous agent is mixed into it.
The mixture of petrochemicals and binders is almost as similar to the "Molotov cocktail" that Chen Xin heard of in his later life, and it is a rudimentary napalm incendiary bomb.
Although it is only a primary product, in this era when there are no tanks and no strong concrete, the effect of arson is surprisingly good.
When a full 1,600 No. 3 C rockets were fired out in one go, the defensive positions of the Houjin Army in the encirclement were in a sea of fire.
Whether it's tents, stables, fences, forage, food, anything that gets on the surface of the explosion of viscous petroleum products, it can't escape the fate of burning.
Moreover, during the encirclement, the battalions of the Huaxia Army also fully cooperated, driving the enemy away from the water source.
Now, looking around for water, the Houjin Army can find it there!
However, driving away the water source is just a subconscious action of the Huaxia Army in order to reduce the enemy's defense time, even if the water source is found, it is impossible to extinguish the fire.
When this kind of burning fuel sticks to buildings, land, and human bodies, not to mention that water cannot be extinguished, even if a layer of sand is poured, it can be burned into colored glass with people and sand.
What's more, as the effect of this wave of fierce bombardment was officially presented, the frightened war horses and the people who were set on fire continued to scurry around like headless flies, and the enemy camp was already in chaos.
The Houjin Army, who originally wanted to put out the fire, was in this chaos, and self-protection was very problematic, and there was no thought of rescue at all.
The time of the general attack was early in the morning, and at this point in time, An Buyang, who had been worried all night, had just fallen asleep.
By the time he heard the movement and got up to check, the fire had completely burned, and 1,600 rockets that obscured the sky and the sun easily ignited all combustible objects.
The chaotic scene as far as the eye could see made An Buyang stunned, and his mouth kept muttering to himself, and he didn't even hear a word of a few Goshha crying for him to run away.
Seeing his master's lips moving, one Goshha leaned closer and listened, his ears were full of "This is an army of more than 30,000 people, and it was defeated like this, and there was no chance to change hands at all." β
Goshha saw the depressed An Buyang standing on the spot like a statue, just repeating a sentence constantly, and knew that his master was demonic.
So, these veterans couldn't help but say, and they ran away without picking up.
After walking for a while, the screams of the Houjin soldiers who were covered in fire kept coming from their ears, and the aroma of barbecue kept coming out of their noses. β
At this time, he didn't care about any military power, status, or glory.
An Buyang has secretly made up his mind, as long as he can escape with his life, he will say that he will not stay in this Korean territory.
He had had enough of Chen Xin's suffering, and in his mind, it was already a great achievement to firmly attract Chen Xin and his group to the land of the Korean Kingdom.
As for the loss of troops, as long as he can escape back, with his incorruptible tongue, he can completely shift the responsibility to Sukh Saha.
However, just as he was thinking this, a loud noise was heard in the distance.
Ann didn't shout nervously, "What's the matter?" Did the Chinese people hit it? β
Goshha beside him was quite calm, and after observing for a while, he confirmed, "If you go back to your master, it's not the Huaxia people who called, but the place where we store gunpowder exploded." β
An Buyan heard that someone who was not Chen Xin was calling, and his panicked expression calmed down a little.
However, before he could be happy, outside the camp, the Houjin army, who was already fleeing in all directions, fled back in embarrassment after leaving down pieces of corpses under a burst of firearms that seemed to be raindrops.
It turned out that the Huaxia Army outside the encirclement had been ready for battle long before the rocket was launched.
In the open space between the inner layer of the encirclement and the positions of the Houjin army, hundreds of regiments of bonfires burned brightly.
Behind the bonfire, barbed wire, barrier trenches, horse traps, and chain traps are laid layer by layer.
Infantry guns, grenade launchers, pump-action rifles were also ready to fire on the high ground behind these traps.
The flintlock musketeers, who occupied the majority of the numbers in the infantry battalions, established the parapet positions in front of the heights.
Then behind the breastwork, en masse, waiting for the order to fire a salvo at any time.
Once an enemy army tries to break through, or appears within the range of the campfire, it will be hit and suppressed by extremely fierce and ferocious fire.
An Buyang was once again frightened by the scene in front of him, and hurriedly ordered Goshha to turn in other directions with him.
However, no matter where he runs, he will not blindly rush out, with the identity of the coach, he has gathered a lot of remnants along the way, and every time he finds a place that looks like he can break through, he will order his subordinates to explore the road first.
It's a pity that every temptation was in vain, and a few times I ran into hard stubble, and even put all the people sent out.
At this moment, An Buyan was completely blind.
"It's over, it's over, I took advantage of Chen Xin's absence to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, it really offended him completely, I can't run out this time, if I am caught, I will definitely die."
