592 Heavenly Fire Comes
There are really many eunuchs who led troops in Chinese history, such as Tong Guan of the Song Dynasty and Zheng He, the three treasure eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. As for the eunuchs who were military supervisors, there are countless.
As the most popular eunuch in Cixi, Andhai naturally wanted to compete with his predecessors. If he had the qualifications to lead troops to win battles, he would have been yelled in his life.
The excited An Dehai ordered the entire army to charge on the spot, regardless of the formation tactics. The war horses and soldiers rushed over the new army's army. The leader of the cavalry tide was Mele, who wanted to atone for his merits.
As if there are tens of thousands of people, boundless and unobstructed. With the charge of three thousand war horses, the momentum is indeed like the sky collapses and the earth begins to shake violently, and people shout at horses and scream at ghosts.
The young and strong in the new army were so scared that they had seen such a decisive battle, one by one, one by one, even one by one, who had pissed their pants.
At this time, we can see the combat effectiveness of the new army, especially the soldiers who have experienced the test of the European battlefield, their hands holding weapons are extremely steady.
"What are you afraid of? We have survived the battle of millions of people, what else is there to be scary."
"All the mercenaries listen. All you have to do is listen to our commands. After a while, our veterans will rush out with you and throw the grenades clean. Even if you complete the task, even if you turn your head and run away, we will not stop you..."
"Don't be afraid, fellow villagers, we just hire you to throw grenades... After the grenade is thrown away, you can run away..."
The new army was shouting, and the people were persuading him. In the end, even Xiao Letian shouted, "Why are you crying? I double the reward level and I will definitely not let you suffer any losses... There is a blue sky on my head. I want to blackmail your life money, so let me fight the five thunders."
Not to mention, the ancients admitted their swearing. Inspired by the heavy money, the young and strong also burst into a bit of ruthlessness. Since they chose the path of hard work, they would have to finish their journey even if they were kneeling down.
Meller was already crazy when charging, and he knew that this was his last chance. If he lost this time, the court would never bypass him.
"Charge, charge... drive out the war horses and hit them, tear them apart, and kill Xiao Letian in formation..." He had already turned completely crazy with his face.
The Huai Army that blocked three sides were also crazy. At this moment, they were no longer afraid of the threat from the snipers. They jumped out of the canals and dense forests, standing in the rain, waving their weapons, roaring wildly.
As for An Dehai and Li Hongzhang who were standing at the end of the battlefield, they were now drunk and were immersed in the atmosphere of victory that was about to come.
Li Hongzhang clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, no matter how powerful the four rapid-fire guns are, they cannot tear off such a heavy attacking crowd, especially those war horses who rush into the formation will definitely win..."
Andehai also laughed, "What the hello family said, it depends on many people to fight. Then Xiao Letian brought more than a thousand guns to make him fire, and how many can he kill? This is called the loss of power, hahaha..."
The charge formation was getting closer and closer. The heavy rain and mud restricted the speed of the cavalry. Now the cavalry company did not have one-third of the speed, and all this was in Xiao Letian's eyes.
"Haha, the cavalry has no speed, and that is a group of living targets. I, Xiao Letian, have been blamed for this massacre today. This is what you forced me to do... Let the new army take action."
At the command of Xiao Letian, countless veterans in the battle formation began to order in unison, "Follow me out... Don't be afraid, listen to my orders, let's leave after throwing the grenade... Don't be afraid, you can live by following the orders..."
"Kill." The young and strong men with ferocious faces may have been crazy this time in their lifetime. They were inspired by the rewards and rushed up to the veterans' pace and faced the group of cavalry.
One hundred meters, seventy meters, fifty meters. When the chargers rushed to the distance of forty meters, the young and strong legs were so scared that their legs were weak. At this time, the veterans in the team shouted, "Take it out and blow them to death..."
The long flintlock rope was pulled off, and the white smoke from the fuse came out from the root of the grenade. The Qingmaomen used all their strength to throw the "fat men" out, bursting and blooming above the head of the cavalry tide.
Bang bang bang bang... There was a muffled sound on the battlefield. This was not the real banging sound of a grenade, but a silent explosion, including the sound of glass bursting.
"What is this, what the hell is this..." Countless people asked subconsciously, because they found that the explosion on their heads did not produce shock waves or fragments, but instead, countless turbid liquids were spilled with the rain.
"Ah." Suddenly a cavalry screamed, and then the war horse under his crotch also screamed in a slight manner, and leaned over and overturned the cavalry and the surrounding war horses.
Everyone looked closely and saw that the cavalry was actually burning with orange flames, which could not even be extinguished by heavy rain.
"Ah... Kill me, it hurts..." The soldier struggling on the ground was trampled to death by the horse's hooves after shouting a few words, but the strange flames on his body were not extinguished, and they could even burn on the water.
Before the soldiers could react, more grenades exploded in the air, and countless terrible turbid liquid mixed with rain and sprinkled on people's bodies. They would burn immediately as soon as they touched the flesh.
Five hundred young men threw five hundred fat man grenades at a time. After throwing them, the veteran yelled, "Retract from the formation and save use..." But there were always reckless people who shook their hands and pulled the rope of the last grenade away. The fat man exploded at his hand, and more than ten young men around were sprinkled with turbid liquid.
"Do not get rid of them... This kind of flame cannot be destroyed...Do not get rid of..." The veterans took the young and strong men backed, leaving more than a dozen burning young and strong men shouting on the battlefield.
The flesh was burned by the flames, revealing the bright red flesh and blood inside, and finally the bones were burned out. The screams suddenly ran through the sky. The young and strong villagers in the team knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, but all the new troops controlled them and refused to let them rescue them.
"Stop, everyone stops, the fat man's flames cannot be extinguished even the heavy rain. Whoever you gets involved will die... Remember that they have already received the money for their life."
At this time, the cavalry tide on the opposite side had been flooded by this strange fire. Five hundred fat grenades exploded in the air, and the turbid liquid covered nearly two-thirds of the team. The fire was already burning in the military formation. Countless cavalry and war horses were engulfed by the flames, and screams were earth-shaking.
"Ah, save me...it hurts...who will save me..."
"Give me a knife, the old and young men give me a knife... Let me die happily, please give me a knife..."
"What is this? God, what is this..."
The cavalry tide could not be condensed. The horses were running around in pain. The new army's Gatlin and the snipers also opened fire, knocking all the fish that had escaped onto the battlefield.
Once the cavalry tide collapsed, the infantry behind them were even more stunned. Who would dare to break into this sea of fire among the Eight Banners? They stood in fear, with their eyes as round as eggs.
"God, is this the sky fire? Fuck, Xiao Letian can control the sky fire..." Everyone collapsed because none of them had seen the sky fire that could not be extinguished even if the heavy rain was too heavy. This was not a weapon that human power could fight against.
Xiao Letian's eyes were red. He suppressed the disgust in his heart and whispered, "Has I become a devil too? How could I bring this weapon to the world? I have really changed."
White phosphorus bomb, a very terrifying chemical weapon brought by Xiao Letian to the 19th century. His method of making it is very simple, but it is also very dangerous. He pours turbid liquid of white phosphorus and water into an ordinary wine bottle and tightly plugs it with a cork and wax seal.
White phosphorus is a very flammable and highly toxic dangerous product. It can be ignited at only 40 degrees Celsius. Moreover, white phosphorus can be burned on water, just like oil, it cannot be extinguished with water at all.
White phosphorus is placed in the wine bottle. Since the air cannot be removed, it can be stored at room temperature. Then, a thin iron shell is placed on the outside of the wine bottle, and a layer of granular gunpowder is mixed with the middle of the wine bottle and the iron sheet.
When the flintlock device of the grenade is ignited, the delayed fuse is ignited with the layer of black gunpowder. A slight explosion can shatter the glass bottle and spill out the turbid liquid of white phosphorus and water.
As long as white phosphorus encounters oxygen and the combustion of gunpowder brings enough temperature, this liquid will adhere to all objects and begin to burn violently, and the flame temperature can reach a terrifying thousand degrees Celsius.
This is the principle of fat man. The simplest chemical weapon is not only caused by burning damage, but also the smoke and dust emitted from the burning of white phosphorus is even more toxic. It would be strange if the war horses don’t frighten when they smell this poisonous gas with the smell of garlic.
In Xiao Lotte's previous life, the Israelis used this weapon when they attacked Gaza, and the US military also used this weapon in the two Gulf Wars. Of course, they used an upgraded version, while Xiao Lotte's is the most primitive model.
Whether primitive or not, the effect is amazing, especially when dealing with the army in the Middle Ages, a flame that cannot be extinguished by rain can only make people think about the sky fire, and superstitious thoughts instantly occupy everyone's hearts.
Meller was lucky enough to avoid the white phosphorus fire, but the last bit of fighting in his heart was burned to ashes by the sudden fire. He looked at the sea of fire behind him, and then looked at the new army position with long spears and short cannons in front of him. He knew that his last moment had arrived.
"Emperor, Empress Dowager, why no one took over this monster Xiao Letian? What's wrong with our Qing Dynasty... Kill." Meile clenched his sabre and rushed towards the new army's formation.
"Cowards, you are all cowards... Who dares to fight me... fight me upright... I am not convinced, I am skilled in archery and horses, and I am the warrior of the Qing Dynasty, Batulu."
Bang... After a melodious gunshot, Ye Qiu looked at him contemptuously, and then put a bullet on his Mauser. "I'm Batulu, I'm a sniper of the new army. One bullet eliminates an enemy. Who will play with you? I'm stupid..." This book was first released from 17K Novel Network, and you can read the genuine content as soon as possible!
