Chapter 364: The Power of Lime Bullets

readx;?ā€œ Boom ......"

The artillery continued to fire, and the barbarian defenders at the head of the city could only be beaten passively under the suppression of the artillery. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In just a short time, the city wall was smashed by the artillery shells of the Qingzhou army.

Many barbarian soldiers were directly hit by cannonballs, and their deaths were terrifying, which intensified the fear of the barbarian defenders.

Only this was only an appetizer, at which point the catapult began to project the flaming gunpowder canisters at the barbarians on the ramparts.

Suddenly, the head of the city was covered by a violent explosion, and the barbarian soldiers suffered heavy losses in the midst of screams.

On the city wall, Gu Duo looked at everything in front of him and fell into despair.

At that time, after Bei Shan was accidentally wounded by the artillery of the Qingzhou army, Chagatai immediately ordered the tribe to retreat.

Under the heavy losses, they knew very well that they were no longer able to fight the Qingzhou army, so their tribe directly withdrew from Shanhaiguan.

Because once the Qingzhou army attacks Shanhaiguan, they will be locked up by the Qingzhou army, and the only fate they face is death.

Therefore, under the measure, Chagatai did not hesitate to order the tribe to withdraw from Youzhou and other places.

In order to prevent the Qingzhou army from attacking Shanhaiguan, he was left to defend the city, but the worst case scenario still appeared, Chagatai sent Bei Shan away with the front foot, and the Qingzhou army followed and arrived at the city.

Without artillery, without the kind of powder canisters of the Qingzhou Army, they were powerless in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the Qingzhou Army, and they suffered heavy losses in a short period of time.

And the most important thing is that this time Bei Shan's life and death are uncertain, and the entire tribe is panicked and demoralized.

Because they don't know what they're going to face next.

"Boom ......"

The shelling continued, and so did the throwing of gunpowder canisters, and this time the Qingzhou army used gunpowder to bury the barbarian soldiers to the fullest.

Niu Ben observed the situation on the city wall, one wave of soldiers died, and another wave of soldiers came up, there were too many barbarian soldiers.

He thought for a moment and gestured to the bottom.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army carried out ten powder kegs from the large camp.

The city wall of Shanhaiguan Military Town is not very thick, far less than the original Cangzhou city wall.

The quickest way to deal with the defenders of the city is to blow up the walls and expose the soldiers in the city to their firepower.

"Where are the lime bombs?" Luo Xin also shouted at this time.

The barbarian archers and infantry were still able to threaten the Qingzhou soldiers under the city walls, and it was not easy to bury these ten powder kegs under the city walls.

So Luo Xin remembered the lime bomb of the Cangzhou Army at this time.

The soldiers of the Cangzhou Army immediately came over with a box of shells, and when they saw these lime shells, Luo Xin was stunned, and he said, "Isn't this a gunpowder canister?"

The soldier nodded, "The people in the military workshop said that this lime bomb was thrown by a trebuchet. ā€

Luo Xin was speechless for a while, he thought that the lime bullet was similar to the solid bullet, but he didn't expect it to be a cannonball like a gunpowder canister.

After Lu Tong and Chen Qi's research, they found that only gunpowder canisters can maximize the effect of lime bullets, and finally they chose to make the first batch of lime bombs into gunpowder cans.

At this time, the gunpowder is on the bottom, and the quicklime is on top, and once the gunpowder canister explodes, the quicklime will be scattered in the air like fireworks.

Carrying the lime to the trebuchet, the soldier handed the gunpowder jar to the soldier who operated the trebuchet.

Placing the lime bullet in the handle of the trebuchet's spoon, one of the soldiers measured and cut a short section of the arquebus, and then he lit the arquebus on the powder can.

In an instant, the catapult threw the gunpowder canister to the top of the city.

"Boom ......", the gunpowder canister suddenly exploded the moment it arrived at the head of the city.

White smoke covered the city, spreading all the way out of a range of twenty or thirty meters.

After a long period of use, now the soldiers can basically judge the time of the explosion of the gunpowder canister by the length of the arquebus, and because of this, the soldiers of the catapult made the gunpowder canister explode over the city wall with a slight trimming.

"That's amazing." Luo Xin was taken aback.

Thick smoke enveloped the city, and the barbarian soldiers inside were not visible at all.

Then one by one, lime bombs exploded at the head of the city, and the entire city wall was covered with quicklime powder.

"Ahh My eyes. ā€

"It hurts, I can't see anything."

"Water, Water ......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Immediately after the explosion of the lime bomb, the walls fell into chaos, and quicklime entered the eyes of the barbarian soldiers and began to burn the eyes of the barbarian soldiers.

They kept rubbing their eyes, but the more they rubbed them, the more painful it became, and some of the barbarian soldiers even took out the water bags they brought with them to wash their eyes, but after the water entered their eyes, they immediately screamed.

Quicklime immediately burned their eyes when it came into contact with water.

A large amount of quicklime powder drifted from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, causing great chaos.

Niu Ben kept staring at the city wall, the lime powder was gradually diluted, he saw the chaotic scene at the head of the city, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

This lime bomb is too terrifying.

However, the lime bullets made it impossible for the barbarian soldiers to open their eyes at all, and this was the plan of the attack, and he immediately said: "Powder kegs blast the walls!" ā€

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army immediately rushed to the city wall with powder kegs.

To their surprise, the barbarian soldiers on the city wall were powerless to attack at all, because they couldn't open their eyes at all.

The soldiers carrying the powder kegs were happy, and they used their chisels to make holes under the walls, and the sound of the cannons drowned out the sound of their chiseling of the walls.

On the city wall, Gu Duo covered his eyes in pain, his eyes were blurred at this time, and he couldn't see anything, and his heart was already cold at this moment.

Several battles have made him understand that this is an army completely different from the Dayu ** team, and the weapons in their hands are also terrifying.

A thought lingered in his mind, "Shanhaiguan can't be guarded." ā€

He groped his way down the city wall and down the tower, and the soldiers above couldn't see the way and groped their way down, while the soldiers below who didn't reach wanted to rush up were blocked by the soldiers who wanted to go down.

And the slave soldiers in the city were even more reluctant to climb to the top of the city when they saw such a miserable situation.

In their opinion, the blood wolf tribe is finished, they are originally the people of the Great Yu Kingdom, why should they work for the barbarians at this time.

"We're defeated, we're defeated!" Guduo's vision gradually darkened.

Just as he groped his way down the walls and left them, an explosion sounded that almost deaf his ears.

Amid the gunpowder and flying rubble, the walls of the Shanhaiguan town collapsed in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the Qingzhou Army's charge resounded in the sky, and the roar of the Qingzhou Army soldiers covered everything.

On the hot air balloon, Niu Ben burst into tears, the humiliation of a country and the humiliation of a nation will be washed away here today!

And this glory will belong to Qingzhou and to the King of Qi!
