Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 198 Recovering the Great Officials ([-])

Garon, who received the letter of persuasion to surrender, ignored the previous content. The Dutch were all focused on the so-called gas bombs. They were mainly discussing whether Tang Ning really had such a thing.

If so, is it really as powerful as he said.

"This is just a threat. If Tangning really has such a weapon, she will definitely not tell us and use it directly."

"Tangning shamelessly attacked us, how could he tell us that he has this kind of weapon and used it to attack us long ago?"

"He must have been intimidated by our fortified city of Zeelandia. It is absolutely impossible to trick us into surrendering."

"He wants us to surrender. He just wants to end the war as soon as possible. Because he knows that his enemy is heading south and will attack his territory in a short time. He doesn't have enough time to spend in Formosa."

"Yes. As long as we persist, Tangning will take the initiative to withdraw troops."

"Yeah, if he hadn't taken Formosa and his territory was taken by the enemy, he would have been a poor homeless kid. Oh, it's exciting to think about."

"Haha, if he is homeless and surrenders to us, the kind Dutch will give him a warm home."

"Ha ha……"

At the end, they actually let out a burst of cheerful laughter.

In short, they didn't believe Tangning had such a weapon, nor did they think Tangning would be so kind.

In other words, it is impossible for them to believe so easily without seeing it for themselves.

Sometimes, you don't know the pain until you hit the body really.

It's normal for the Dutch to think this way, because they lived in a different era from Tangning.

In today's era, there are almost no rules at all, let alone the constraints of various international laws. The wanton killing of other races is nothing but normal.

But Tangning was different. He was a young man who had been baptized by the modern order and had his own bottom line and standards.

Gas bombs are prohibited weapons in the world, so taking out this kind of thing first has to pass the threshold in your heart.

It was also because of this that Tangning wanted to give the Dutch a chance even though the Dutch ruled them brutally.

If the Dutch didn't appreciate it, then Tangning had no choice. In order to reduce the casualties of his own personnel and reduce the consumption of other ammunition, he had to use poison gas bombs to end the war as soon as possible.

A day passed in a flash, the Dutch did not give any answer, the city gate was still closed, and the white flag representing surrender was not hung out, so the meaning was obvious.

Although they said they didn't believe that Tang Ning had such a terrifying weapon, the Dutchman was still a little nervous, so Jia Long and other high-level executives changed the location of the headquarters and moved it to the basement.

However, in order not to cause panic among the soldiers below, Jia Long and other high-level officials blocked the news, and arranged soldiers to be on duty at their respective posts as usual, while they themselves quietly waited for the new army's attack in the basement.

There are many ways to launch gas bombs. They can be thrown by manpower, grenades, field guns, or even airdrops.

Tang Ning chose the field gun and fired it with a howitzer.

The reason is simple, there is no condition for airdrop, other methods need to be closer to the enemy, and it is easy to be counterattacked by condescending enemies.

Only the howitzers were out of reach of the Dutch and could only be beaten passively.

Six 105mm howitzers set up a simple artillery position, and the soldiers on the position wore protective masks.

The field of view is very good, the huge city of Zeelandia is within sight, the shooting elements are quickly calibrated, and the shells are fully loaded.

"put……"

With an order, the command flag swung down fiercely, and the second gunner yanked the matchlock.

"Boom boom boom..." Shells were fired one after another, and the sound was much lower than the original shells.

Cannonballs fell accurately into the huge city of Zeelandia.

Suddenly they saw a large cylinder falling not far away, and all the Dutch soldiers who saw it were so frightened that their legs softened and they quickly lay down on the ground.

Because they have been taught that the shells of the new army are not solid shells or shot shells, but explode after hitting the target, which is very terrifying.

Therefore, in order to avoid injury, after being shelled, try to lie on the ground as much as possible, and it would be better if you can hide in a pit or behind a bunker.

The Dutch soldiers lying on the ground waited for the shell to explode in fear, but the thing was only emitting thick white smoke, but there was no sign of it going to explode.

With a sound of "boom", a cylinder smashed not far from several Dutch soldiers, and then rolled to the feet of a Dutch soldier.

Because he knew that even if he wanted to run, he couldn't, so he could only close his eyes in despair.

However, he didn't wait for the explosion. He opened his eyes and found that there was a round hole on the top of the thing, which was constantly emitting white smoke. He inhaled involuntarily.

Immediately, he felt as if he smelled mustard and coughed endlessly, but then he felt difficult to breathe and felt unspeakable discomfort all over his body.

"Ah..." He felt a stabbing pain in his eyes again, and covered them with his hands.

However, the more he screamed, the more white smoke he inhaled, and he collapsed uncontrollably.

"Ah..." The soldiers of the Dutch army around were hit.

The city of Zeelandia was built not far from the north coast, and the sea breeze could blow all over the city.

Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the poisonous gas spread rapidly, and the soldiers who inhaled the poisonous gas fell down in pain, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Some people wanted to rescue those soldiers who fell to the ground, but they were also infected and fell down in a short while.

This terrifying scene immediately let other Dutch soldiers who had not been poisoned know that the white smoke was highly poisonous and they should stay away.

"Run away, run away..." Immediately, the Dutch soldiers ran away in panic when they saw a place with white smoke, as if they were hiding from the plague.

"Boom boom boom..." The shelling of the new army did not stop, and they kept throwing mustard seeds and gas bombs into the city of Zeelandia.

The reason why mustard seeds and gas bombs are used instead of sarin is because sarin is more toxic, more harmful, and more difficult to clean up.

Tangning didn't want Zeelandia City to become a dead city, and none of her own people could enter for a long time.

The artillery commander also adjusted the shooting elements several times, so that the impact points of the gas bombs could cover the whole city as much as possible.

It's just that they themselves were a little puzzled. When this kind of shell was fired, there was no movement at all, only some white smoke rose. Could it really be as powerful as Master Tang said?
They couldn't see what happened in the closed city of Zeelandia, so they could only be full of doubts.

It didn't take long for the [-] gas bombs to be fired, and Tangning only took out so many in the first batch.

Because he had already decided that what he took out should be used up on the spot, otherwise, it would be destroyed immediately, and there was no possibility of it being leaked out.

Therefore, he could only take it again and again, and the first time he took some more to show the Dutch how powerful they were.

If the Dutch did not surrender, he would bring out fifty more.

After the shells were fired, Tangning ordered to rest and quietly waited for the result.
