I'm a big dick

Chapter 98 Bloody Victory

One side is wide and the other side is narrow, with four or five long spears ready for battle; while Jiannu can only climb from a ladder, that is, only one can climb up at a time, and is stabbed and stabbed when he is not stable, and is at an absolute disadvantage.

There are also brave Jiannu who climbed to the top of the city and even occupied a small area.But soon, under the turbulent siege of the Ming army on the city, he was beaten down the city, or lay dead on the city.

It's time for the final blow!

Under the strict protection of his own soldiers, Xiong Tingbi has been observing Jiannu's offensive, commanding the entire defense of the city with the golden drum banner.

When he saw that Jiannu's ladders and hooks were basically used, and he didn't have much backup, he knew it was time for a big counterattack.

Looking up at the sky, the sun has changed color, and it has also been changed to the name "Sunset".Let the blood and fire burn fiercely, end this fight, and shatter the enemy's dream of breaking the city!
The banner was waved, the drums were rumbling, and the curtain of the big counter-offensive was opened.

Time passed by second by second, and the sound of the cannons on the top of the city stopped, as if the ammunition was exhausted.This gave the old slave and the others infinite hope, and they all looked around with wide-eyed eyes, hoping that this was the prelude to breaking the city.

Suddenly, boom, boom, boom... One after another, the roar resounded through the city.

The loaded and cooled Francophones and Tiger Crouching Cannons all fired, throwing tens of thousands of projectiles at the Jiannu in the city.

This sudden and violent bombardment caused great casualties to Jiannu's archers, and the arrows shooting at the city stopped for a while.

The gunners on the city quickly replaced the guns, and continued to bombard at the fastest speed, causing continuous casualties to Jiannu, and covering the rapid movement of the Ming army on the city.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, countless Ming soldiers appeared and threw the bottles and cans in their hands down the city. Some of these bottles and cans still had sparks shining.

Boom, boom, huh, huh. Countless flames erupted under the city, cupping pots, gunpowder pots, shochu bottles, thunderbolts, or exploding or igniting. stage.

That's right, there is also shochu, a high-alcohol that can be lit.

By the Ming Dynasty, the technology of distilled liquor had matured and its consumption had become popular.Because of its high degree of alcohol, it can be ignited, so it is called "shochu" or "fire wine".

Especially in the north, spicy soju is popular because of the climate.It tastes like a "bladeless axe", and it is also called "burning knife" by drinkers, and "burning pot" in workshops that make shochu.

In terms of burning pot, it should be regarded as the ancestor of Erguotou, which is well-known both at home and abroad.Although it can't reach Erguotou's 65 degrees, there are still [-] degrees above.

This is a relatively accurate conclusion drawn by Zhu Youxiao by virtue of the "alcohol test" of his later generations, after tasting the cooking pot of the capital, with an error of no more than two degrees.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao doesn't like to drink high alcohol, and he is known as the "King of Beer" in later generations.But when I tasted something new during the "Weifu private visit", I paid attention to it.

In ancient times, firewood, ointment and oil belonged to the most elementary means of arson, and fierce fire oil was the kingly way, especially in the Song Dynasty when it was used most maturely.Like a fierce oil tank, it is a bit like a flamethrower for later generations.

But the raw material of Menghuo oil is petroleum, which was relatively rare in ancient China.Only in a few places such as Yan'an in Shaanxi Province and Jiuquan in Gansu Province, there have been primitive collections.

With the popularization and development of gunpowder, fierce fire oil, which had few sources, gradually declined in Ming and Qing Dynasties.The fierce fire oil tank, a weapon with the prototype of a flamethrower, is rarely recorded.

But from Zhu Youxiao's point of view, there is no problem with gunpowder being used in firearms, but arson is still a bit close.Look at that Molotov cocktail, once it burns one piece, it can also burn tanks and armored vehicles!
Of course, no gasoline, no thickener, the combination of shochu and sugar is still a lot worse in the end.

But no matter how useful it is, Zhu Youxiao handed it along with the design of the pine tree cannon to Jin Yiwei and brought it to Xiong Tingbi.

Zhu Youxiao threw out everything that could be thought of and used. You can figure it out, as long as you can keep it.

And Xiong Tingbi also figured it out, it doesn't matter what he has, as long as it can be used.

He passed the experiment and thought it was okay, so he searched for all the shochu and sugar in the city, and made more than 1000 incendiary bombs with bottles and cans.

Anyway, what was spent was the money and materials from the Guangning warehouse, and it was also the efforts of ordinary people.If he had defended the city and made such a mention in the battle report, knowing that it was his own craftsmanship that made the contribution, the emperor would not know how happy he would be!

Of course, Xiong Tingbi did not pin all his hopes on these incendiary bombs, and took out all the cupping cans, and prepared to use them together in the final counterattack.

Apparently, such a combination works surprisingly well.Even if the shochu bottle falls to the ground and cannot burn immediately, it will soon be ignited by other fire sources.

The flames first burned in groups under the city, and then spread rapidly, caused by gunpowder, shochu, and rockets shot from the city like swarms of ravens.

Under the stunned gaze of Lao Nu and others, the city was almost turned into a sea of ​​flames, with countless soldiers tumbling, jumping, stumbling, and howling.

The cloud ladder and the hook ladder smoked and caught fire one after another, and it was no longer possible for Jianu to climb the city.

Even without the old slave's order to call gold, the siege troops under the city were already forced back by the fire, and could no longer continue to attack the city.

The artillery on the city roared, and the arrows shot fiercely, chasing and killing the retreating enemies.

The excitement and excitement of victory inspired every soldier in the city. They roared and waved their weapons at the fleeing enemies.

The fire burned fiercely and quickly, and did not last too long.

But what does it matter, Jianu has already been defeated, without the siege equipment, their riding and shooting, their fierceness, in front of the tall and majestic city walls, seem so insignificant.

Below the city, the ladders, hook ladders, and some shield vehicles were still burning, making rattling and rattling sounds from time to time.Boom, a ladder was blown and fell to the ground, splashing countless sparks, which disappeared in a flash.

The smoking and burning siege equipment, the blackened city walls, the toppled and destroyed watchtowers and tower ladders, and the disgusting scorched smell permeating the air.

There are bloody and dead bodies everywhere, as well as broken knives and guns and scattered arrows. Under the setting sun, it is as miserable as hell.

The old slave seemed to be frozen, and looked into the distance without moving.

Jiannu, who had retreated, regrouped not far away with fear and panic, but the old slave did not attract stares and curses, as if he hadn't seen it.

The horse's head was slammed, and the old slave didn't say a word, and walked away amidst the rapid hoofbeats.

"Retract the troops and return to the camp." Dabeile Daishan gave the order on behalf of his father with a gloomy face.

Mang Gurtai let out a "hey" and vented his pent-up anger in front of his father Khan, "Xiong Manzi, I will definitely cut you into pieces and avenge the Jianzhou warriors."
