Section 778 Chemical bomb is launched

The ancient siege war was indeed devastating, and even Wei Xi was difficult to change, at least not at present. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The ants were attached to the siege city, and the soldiers climbed on the long ladders, like big ants.

In front of the strong city wall, the "ants" were fragile, and a single burning clay pot was smashed down from the city, and the crockpot fell into a pile of "ants" like a ball of fire, and shattered with a "bang", and the oil and fire flew in all directions, and the "ants" scattered in a hurry, and the "ants" on fire rolled on the ground and howled miserably!

The big cannibals poured a scoop of hot oil down, and the rolling wooden stones kept falling from the high city head like hailstones, and smashed down the Tang soldiers who were climbing the city wall one by one like knocking on ice.

The bows and arrows of both sides shoot each other, throw stones, and fire oil you come and go, and the air pierces the edges.

According to intelligence, there were about 50,000 defenders in the city, plus the people who had been recruited, a total of 200,000 people, which was considered a large population in the vast and sparsely populated Khorasan.

The large number of people is overwhelming, and the high walls give the big cannibals more courage, they dare not fight in the field, but it is not a problem to lose things in the city.

At the end of the day, the Tang army suffered tens of thousands of casualties!

Compared with the Great Cannibals, the Tang Army had more wounded, and their shields and armor gave them more chances of escape, while field hospitals saved more lives.

However, the damned are still dead, big stones are thrown down from the city, and if they are touched, they will be injured, and if they touch, they will die!

The three-edged arrow bleeds, and some soldiers thought that it was not an important part of the body after being hit by the arrow, and they could not get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and as a result, the blood flowed more and more, and their faces became whiter and whiter, and finally they fell to the ground.

Later, military discipline forced that minor injuries had to be bandaged when the army was already in control.

If you are burned, it is okay to say that if you are burned in a large area, you will basically have half a life, and the other half will be hung up quickly.

……

Thick smoke billowed up and down the city walls, shrouded in black smoke and fire light on all sides, the smoke was very strong, and even spread into the barracks in the wind, black smoke drifted in the air, and the whole sky seemed to be overcast.

The Tang army followed one after another, and the cloud ladders of the Zafu were erected on the city wall, and some more rudimentary ladders were erected from all sides, and people climbed up desperately like ants.

Then the rolling stones fell down the long ladder, a series of people were smashed to the ground, for the ladder, the big food army desperately threw large oil cans and small oil bottles to them, the oil is really easy to use, even if the ladder is covered with raw cowhide water can also be burned, the wooden ladder instantly ignited a fire, the flame instantly became larger, many people jumped down on the platform of the ladder with their whole body on fire, and after landing, people quickly covered them with sand to extinguish the fire.

But the Tang army was also extremely fierce, and many people actually rushed up from the burning ladder regardless of their lives! It's completely a dry method that doesn't want to die together.

Some were covered in fire and died with a big cannibal, and some had no fire, jumping into the city without regard for self-defense, one life for another.

There were swords and swords on the city wall, but there were few people who went up after all, and they were all chopped into meat puree.

"Ho!" With a loud cheer, everyone involuntarily looked at the place where the sound sounded

I saw the big cannibal grabbing a captured Tang army, and in front of the Tang army under the city, he cut him with a knife unhurriedly!

The enraged Don army shot the big cannibal with a sniper crossbow under the city, but gave it a shield.

Then kill that Tang Jun!

The arrow flew towards the Tang army, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the shield.

The captured Tang army howled for an hour before killing the big cannibal, and the Tang soldiers were so angry that they smoked.

There were heavy casualties and wailing everywhere, but the main general Cheng Boxi was not moved at all, but orders were issued one after another, and one after another troops stepped forward to attack the city!

Cheng Boxi's face was expressionless, he had seen too much of the tragic scene in front of him!

When he was a teenager, he started the army, and now he is nearly middle-aged, how many battles he has experienced, how many people he has killed, and the Mulu City in front of him is just a hurdle in the great cause.

For three days, 10,000 people were lost every day, half of them were killed, 10,000 were disabled, and another 5,000 were able to return to the team after being cured.

The disabled people were supported by the two Western governments for a lifetime, and the treatment was not low, while those who died had generous pensions, and the two governments could afford it, so that the soldiers were willing to fight with their lives.

The besiegers suffered a lot of casualties, and the defenders suffered more casualties than they did!

Because many of the people went to the city to defend, they lacked training, and they did not have shields and armor to defend themselves, and when the arrows and stones of the Tang army went up to the city wall, they were easily attacked.

……

The battle lasted until the fourth day, and I saw that the flags in the Tang army's formation suddenly increased a lot, and there was a golden flag in the middle that was particularly brilliant and dazzling!

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suddenly shouted feverishly: "The prince is a thousand years old! ”

It was Wei Xi who came to supervise the battle!

In addition to him, many generals came, and three of the four pillars of the Han Dynasty came: Fan Wuxian, Cheng Boxi, and Wang Xiaojie.

Their arrival brought good luck to everyone, the Tang army gathered under the city, made a feint first, and the ladders were placed on the edge of the city, ready to enter the city.

The big cannibal will naturally not be polite, the one who releases the arrow is ready to smash something.

However, what surprised them was that the Tang army was like a low tide, and it turned clean in the blink of an eye.

Then, the heavy trebuchets, reinforced to 500, opened fire at the same time!

No stone bombs, no fire bombs, chemical bombs!

Its main body is a grass ball, the grass vine is wrapped in a circle, oozing with oil, can be ignited quickly, the essence is the material in the grass ball: arsenic, wolf venom!

Arsenic is highly toxic, and after ignition, it enters the human body with smoke, which can make people vomit, seriously stimulate the mucous membranes of the human body to ulcerate, bleed, and produce respiratory and circulatory failure.

Arsenic eaten kills, while inhaled arsenic does not make people die, but people are very painful.

As for the wolf poison, it is not the poison of the wolf, but a plant, with broad leaves like horse ears, flowers like steamed buns, white and purple color, and from time to time there is a strong fragrance coming out with the wind.

One of its nicknames is "Broken Intestine Grass"!

Distributed in the 2600---4200 meters of dry and sunny alpine grass slopes, lawns or river beach terraces, grassland herders say "eat wolf venom today, eat horse meat tomorrow", which means that the horse eats wolf venom and hangs, it is very toxic.

Drying it and lighting it with smoke is also lifeless, but it can be very painful.

Wei Xi... The Tang people thought that he was born to come for war, he taught everyone to use chemical bombs, 500 chemical bombs were dropped into the city, and landed on the city wall, immediately causing yellow smoke to rise everywhere in the city, and the extremely thick pungent gas made people cry endlessly, tears fell together, coughed and sneezed, eyes could not be opened, only felt chest heartburn uncomfortable!

When the first batch of chemical catapults arrived in the city, the big cannibals knew that it was not good, and wanted to run to the garrison cave on the edge of the city, but they couldn't run three steps, and the people fell crookedly!

Batch after batch of chemical bombs were shot into and above the city, overflowing with poisonous gas, making the defenders miserable, and some even jumped directly from the city!

Tang Jun saw the scene at the head of the city with a telescope, and everyone gasped.

Some veterans muttered, "Great demon! Great demon! ”
