Chapter 499 True or False Bomb
Chapter 499 True or False Bomb
Fu Changzhou was seen standing on the united front vehicle, staring at the battle situation ahead with sharp eyes.
As he waved his hand and gave the order, the huge cannons and catapults roared one after another, and one shell after another soared into the air, crossing the sky and forming a spectacular arc.
It flew over the heads of the two cavalrymen who were fighting fiercely, and whistled accurately towards the highest tent in the Northern Yuan army camp.
Accompanied by earth-shaking explosions, flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the originally sturdy tent was instantly blown to pieces, leaving a mess.
These shells were escorted by the supply team at a later stage.
The things they brought with them had already been used up along the way.
This was followed by the second and third rounds.
Dense artillery fire fell on the enemy's position, like rain hitting banana leaves.
With the sound of cannon fire, countless Northern Yuan soldiers were killed or injured.
Tai'aru, who was lucky enough, and the Khan Ben Yali were both fine.
The two of them never thought that the Fu family army would be able to attack at this time. Isn’t today the New Year’s Day, which is the most important day for the Han people?
Moreover, the two sides have experienced several large and small battles, and the Yan army’s artillery resources should be almost gone. But why are they still so ferocious now?
At this moment, the whole earth was shaking violently as if a dragon was turning over its body, with no sign of stopping.
In some areas, huge deep pits have been blown out one after another, like hideous mouths that want to swallow everything.
At the same time, many tents were not spared and were ignited by the raging flames, and the fire spread rapidly.
The originally pitch-black snowy night was instantly illuminated with a bright red glow, as if day had arrived.
Looking at this thrilling scene in front of him, Ben Yali said with a bitter face:
"Grand Master, in my opinion, we should retreat quickly. The Yan army is coming with such force and they attacked us when we were totally unprepared. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win this time!"
However, Tai'a Lu was extremely unwilling to give in. After all, his Northern Yuan army outnumbered the Yan army in number. How could he easily admit defeat and retreat without a fight?
So he gritted his teeth and responded fiercely: "Absolutely not! Immediately order the national division to gather all its forces, and make sure that those Yan troops who dared to offend us will never return!"
At this critical moment, Benjamin suddenly turned pale, pointed his finger at the sky with trembling hands, and said in a voice full of fear and astonishment:
"Grand Master! Grand Master! Look quickly..."
His shout was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to pierce people's eardrums.
Taiaru, who was originally full of resentment and about to explode, was startled by the sudden shout and trembled all over. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction Ben Yali pointed.
Above the sky, there was a huge shadow that covered the entire sky and the sun. Like a moving mountain, it was rapidly pressing towards their heads at an alarming speed.
"Oh no! Everyone, get out of the way! This is a cannon!"
Tai'alu widened his eyes and roared at the top of his lungs.
However, it was already too late.
All they heard was a deafening roar that resounded through the sky, and shells fell like raindrops, intensively hitting them and exploding not far from them.
In an instant, a series of explosions sounded all around, and the loud "bang bang bang" noises shook the earth and the sky, as if the whole world was about to be torn apart.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky, instantly submerging the area.
At the same time, a strange and pungent smell spread, making people feel nauseous.
Everyone was frightened out of their wits by this sudden change. Some people ran away in panic, wishing they could run as fast as the wind.
Some people were panicking and looking for a secluded place to hide.
Then he crouched on the ground like a frightened rabbit, covering his ears tightly with his hands, trying to block out the terrible sound.
Along with the explosion of the shells, some unknown hot liquid splashed everywhere, dancing in the air like a fire snake.
Once these liquids splash onto a person's body, they immediately cause a piercing pain.
The eyes and exposed skin are especially affected, and the pain is simply indescribable, as if millions of sharp blades are cutting the flesh at the same time.
That’s right. This special ammunition was made by the Fu family army based on Shen Zhiqiu’s suggestion after they found a large amount of quicklime on Arshan Mountain.
The main reason for choosing quicklime to make bombs is to save precious gunpowder resources.
After all, gunpowder is not only expensive to produce, but also difficult to transport over long distances.
As for this pottery jar filled with lime and water, you can make it by just digging some clay and burning it into the shape of a pot.
With an army of 150,000, if each person burns ten, that would be a lot.
Therefore, lime bombs came one after another as if they were free, with no sign of stopping.
Of course, although the lime bomb is very powerful,
But in fact, the probability of directly killing people is relatively small.
After all, its power lies more in the threat of scalding caused by the splashing lime and hot water after the explosion.
Generally speaking, as long as the distance is a little far, the most you will suffer is minor burns.
Therefore, Taialu and Benyari, who were protected when they lay down, did not even get burned.
This undoubtedly made them even more angry, and they believed that the Yan army was just teasing them.
A mere "fake explosive" had put them in such an embarrassing situation.
Just when they thought they had figured out the tricks of these lime explosives, when they encountered this seemingly harmless explosive again, they simply dodged slightly to the side.
Who would have thought that just when they relaxed their vigilance, another wave of explosives would crash to the ground.
All you could hear were loud "bang bang bang" sounds one after another, deafening.
This time, it was no longer lime explosive, but real gunpowder with amazing power!
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and smoke filled the air. The Northern Yuan army, which had already been a little careless, was blown to pieces and suffered heavy casualties.
"Grand Master, quickly give the order to withdraw! The Yan army is too cunning and insidious! Don't the Han people always say 'As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood'?
As long as we can preserve our elite main force and evacuate this place safely, it won’t be too late to come and settle accounts with them after we have rested and recuperated! ”
Ben Yali exclaimed and tried to persuade him, secretly cursing Tai'aru for not understanding the situation.
Tai'aru's face was extremely gloomy at this time. He clenched his teeth and squeezed out these words.
"Leave some troops to hold back the Yan army, and the rest of the troops will follow me to retreat quickly!"
Fu Changzhou, who had been concentrating on the battle between the two armies.
With his keen insight, he quickly noticed something unusual in the enemy camp.
