28. Walking in the Forbidden Zone of Death (4)
[[[CP|W:470|H:310|A:L]]] The sobbing gradually stabilized, and the solemn air still carried the heavy weight brought by the emotional words, and when Niel's feelings were stable, Pierre asked:
"You said that after Summerway's foot sank, the explosion happened. Is it all a trap set by the pointy-eared people and completely set by the institutions without relying on Mana, right?"
Judging from the signs described, there is an unbelievable but only plausible conclusion.
The death machine that effectively kills people, permeated with dark design ideas and the terrifying product of the designer's tireless efforts
Tripping Anti-Infantry Directional Mine - Wilt Special Copycat Version.
In addition to the small-diameter anti-personnel mines, Li Lin made full use of the resources at hand to develop the second type of landmine.
Nitrocellulose is placed on the bottom of a curved steel plate of considerable thickness, and the ceramic shell of the same arc degree with a prefabricated fragmentation groove is a thunder sleeve, lined with crushed iron and iron sand. The detonation is initiated by the steel drum ignition mechanism.
The moment the Summerway Knight stepped into the pit, the tripwire connecting the steel wheel was pressed down, and the pulled ignition mechanism ejected sparks into the mine. According to the Misznay-Schardin effect, the clay shell withstanding the vertical force of the explosion and the fine iron and iron sand lining it together become a high-speed penetrating body and pounce on the unsuspecting victims, using the powerful kinetic energy to penetrate their armor and clothing, and tear the flesh and blood into a rag with a storm.
Even if the victim survives, he will be completely incapacitated, but there are never many lucky people who can carry the metal particles with them for the rest of their lives.
Niel didn't know the scalp-tingling trivia, and hadn't seen an earthmade bomb that looked like tiles. But he saw the terrible effects of the painful death, and deduced the same conclusion as Pierre.
-- A murder trap composed of some unknown mechanism.
Nodding in agreement, he couldn't say anything.
"Damn the beasts......!!I should have hanged them all and kicked them into the oil pan of hell!!"
The nails pierced into the palms, and the beads of blood oozed left bright red marks along the edges of the fists that were clenched to white. Pierre was on the verge of losing control, and his slightly trembling fists needed something to make a violent contact - wood, stones, and the like needed to be smashed in sufficient quantities to vent their near-critical anger, and it would take twenty to replace them with pointed ears, and the inventor of the evil trap would only need one, and tearing down every bone of the vile, cowardly, and cruel butcher would probably be enough to complete Pierre's work of venting his anger.
After an inexplicable surprise attack, suffering a loss of soldiers and morale, it is normal to feel angry and uncontrollable. Driven by this overwhelmed emotion, it is fatal to rush to find a hidden enemy to take revenge.
At this moment, the crusade team was filled with an abnormal atmosphere of panic and rage, and the two diametrically opposed emotions were in a very delicate balance. The next step in the situation will directly determine whether the team can salvage some of the declining morale, or if it will collapse altogether.
There are two factors that determine the tendency of events:
the actions of pointy-eared people;
the commander's decision;
It is assumed that the viscount's commander is good enough to lead his subordinates to act quickly and correctly. The effects of the Elves' actions are partially negated. If the situation is reversed, the advantage on the elf side will be magnified.
For the soldiers, the latter dire situation is very close to reality.
The commander of the expedition, Viscount Fuché, had never been on the battlefield, and was a cowardly megalomaniac who had experienced war through biographies and novels. It is really a fatal misfortune for the rookies who accept such a waste command and carry out the public security suppression operation for the first time.
The Viscount ordered some of the men to help the wounded, while the rest formed several detachments to search the surrounding bushes, and found pointed ears and immediately eliminated them. ”...,
"What's that, the pig, the pig?"
The sturdy and burly body of the stone sculpture jumped from the chair at an astonishing speed, and the eyes that made one worry about whether they would leave their sockets were bloodshot with doubt and anger, and the menacing expression distorted the majesty, and the knight's mouth roared like a beast. The utensils in the room buzzed, and the chorus of barking dogs could be heard outside the door.
The swaggering and reasonable Knight Pierre was completely stripped of his calm and spare room, and he didn't care about the damage that his actions would bring to the neighborhood, and only stared at Niel to confirm whether the viscount had really given that stupid order.
"The Viscount had 15 soldiers bring back the bodies of the dead and the wounded in need of help, and the magicians, non-commissioned officers, shield bearers, and soldiers defended the camp. The rest of the personnel were organized into more than a dozen search teams and dispersed to carry out search attacks. ”
Niel's gloomy face turned to the side, and as a participant and witness to the battle, the older boy understood why the knight was angry.
After encountering a series of mysterious explosion traps, the viscount can choose to temporarily retreat and take a detour to avoid the danger that is not yet known, or to gather his team and form a strong defense to accommodate the dead and wounded undisturbed. But the viscount didn't do that.
The commander strangely scattered his troops, and the raiding party that had an absolute numerical advantage was broken into small pieces that were difficult to contact and supported each other and scattered into the vast bushes, allowing the elves to calmly choose a squad without a mage to carry out a surprise attack or ambush......
He's such a genius, the kind of genius that is commonly known as idiots.
"That pig who only spoils gold coins on women and prostitutes! How much and urine does he put into his head that he uses to slap sycophants and shirk responsibility?! How can he be mentally retarded to come up with such a bad idea?!"
Involving genetics, eugenics, brain structure research, and other unheard of advanced disciplines outside of Wilt, the question of the lower IQ of the commander made the honest and irascible knight even feel terrible.
With resentment on his face, Pierre asked:
"Is it true that the archers hidden in the jungle on the other side have their eyes on the lone detachment and kill the soldiers with bows and arrows?"
Nielle nodded bitterly, and seeing the young squire's remorseful expression, Pierre spat out sadness and lament from the deepest part of his abdomen.
The patience of the sharp-eared mongrels accustomed to living and fighting in the mountain forest environment finally paid off, and the Viscount sent the rookies who were not familiar with the battlefield environment to the trap, to the elves who were famous for their excellent archery, the fool who had been stabbed with a thousand cuts!!!!!
The tragic sight of the gang of debris like poisonous wolves, like human wolves to drive away and chase their prey, and the brave young man was busy dodging the arrows, and could not even lift his head in the face of the opponent's accurate archery, and could only be driven to a dead end step by step.
"A herd of murderous animals!"
After listening to Pierre's speculation and curses, Niel shook his head in categorical disapproval, and the pure fighting method in the knight's mouth was not the melody of war encountered by the crusading party.
More terrible and bloody than the hunting of dangerous species and the hunting ambush of man-wolves, the combat hands of the pointy-eared heretics are hundreds of times more ruthless than that method.
"The pointy-eared ones are hidden on a slope, they are well hidden, and it is difficult to spot them when they pass by the rats. As soon as our men passed, the guys fired crossbow arrows from the flanks and rear. Most of the victims died after the first volley, but the pointed ears would deliberately leave one or two wounded alive to make the wounded soldiers scream, and when someone came out to try to help the wounded, the herd immediately shot the exposed ones. As before, there are a few immobile live openings left. ”...,
"Damn...... Damn bastards!!Hell-damned scoundrels!Despicable cowards!Beasts are better than them!!"
Astound.
Rage.
Searching through all the known insulting words and piling them together is impossible to describe how Pierre felt about this style of warfare.
Even after many bloody battles, Pierre had never seen or heard of such a practice.
Inhumane, cruel and ruthless, the disgusting practice of hunting opponents more efficiently.
But to think that this is the lower limit, there is no more moral and human means than this. The glorious Mr. Knight had overestimated the guy who had made a series of battle plans and his students who had done a good job.
He quickly understood this through Guò Nière, and it remained in his memory deeply.

Commentary on the time of the small theater
Brunhill: I'm really shocked, what Your Excellency Li Lin made was actually an anti-infantry directional mine!
Li Lin: After all, the technical principle is not complicated, the plastic shell can be replaced by ceramic, and the ignition device is also used as a tripwire from the electric shock.
Brunhill: So, explain the Misnay-Shardin explosion.
Li Lin: The history of anti-infantry directional mines can be traced back to the Second World War, when Nazi German weapons experts Hubert Schardin and Hungarian Misznay discovered almost simultaneously that when an arc of steel plate is detonated, most of the impact force of the explosive acts vertically on the steel plate when it is detonated, and the concave surface of the steel plate will form a high-speed penetrating body during the explosion, and its destructive ability is very amazing. At the time, the discovery was named the Misznay-Schardin effect.
Brunhill: Anti-infantry directional mines in countries around the world are now modeled after the M18 [Claymore] mine in the United States.
Li Lin: That's right, the picture shows the Type 66 anti-infantry directional mine that China copied from the M18 from the battlefield in Vietnam, the shell of the mine is a curved rectangular plastic box, the front part of the mine body is a steel ball embedded in a plastic container, followed by explosives, the top of the mine body is a molded door for aiming, there are two detonator jacks on the top, and the mine is erected on two pairs of scissor-shaped brackets. Mines are detonated using a hand-held pulse detonator, which is connected to the mine's fire cap with a wire at a distance of 30 meters, and the handle of the detonator emits a double electrical pulse. When the mine is detonated, the steel ball fragments form a horizontal arc of 60 degrees and are sprayed out in a fan-shaped cluster ballistic trajectory, with a killing area of 50 meters wide and 1 meter high.
Brunhill: What a dangerous weapon, and there will be even more terrible explosives next time, so please keep voting for it.
