Chapter 779 God's Punishment
Ant attached to attack the city.
This is a very vivid word. Standing on the city tower and looking down, there are countless ladders on the north wall of Guancheng, and then people climbing up the ladder like ants.
The wall of the woman on the edge is five feet tall, which looks extremely tall, while the Turks seem even smaller, just like ants.
"hurry up!"
The artillery captain shouted, "Light the explosive pack and throw it down the city!"
The artillery soldiers who operated the catapults were nervous and trembling. This was their first time to operate the explosive pack. Fortunately, the counterweight casting cannon was much simpler to operate, and it did not require many people than the cable casting car. With the use of the tanker, the heavy counterweight rod could be easily pulled up after the ratchet.
Stuck dead.
"Dynamite pack, take it!"
A gunner hurriedly came over with an explosive cannon weighing more than 20 kilograms.
The explosive pack is very simple, with only one ignition cable inserted.
Seeing the gunpowder pack smoke coming out, the artillery soldiers were a little nervous, but the artillery soldiers were repeatedly warned of the power of these gunpowders.
The cannon leader who operated the crossbow and knocked hard on the buckle of the stone-casting cannon with a wooden hammer.
With one hammer, the cannon leader could hear his heartbeat.
With a loud bang, the lock was opened, and the huge gravity at the counterweight end made it pull up the pitching arm at once. The gunpowder bag contained in the shooting basket flew into the sky with smoke.
The artillery all looked up at the gunpowder bag with smoke, drew a graceful arc in the sky, and then landed under the city.
The several lieutenants around Li Chao were all watching.
They have all seen gunpowder trial explosions, but they have never seen the actual combat effect. This explosive pack is officially used in actual combat for the first time. Whether this kind of thing that is highly valued by the prime minister can achieve amazing results depends on this.
"It's gone."
"It hit the pile of Turkic people."
"Why didn't it sound?"
·······
The explosive pack is just the simplest use of gunpowder, with no delayed fuses, and no collision fuses. It is just the simplest lead ignition. As for when it explodes, it can only rely on the length of the fuse. However, the combustion speed of the fuse is not very fixed.
It is limited to processing technology, as well as wind power during combustion, and sometimes burns fast and sometimes burns slowly, which is completely uncontrollable.
Therefore, in order to ensure safety, Li Chao kept the leads a little longer.
But long fuses can also have disadvantages, that is, they may throw them down and land, and they will not explode immediately, let alone explode in the air.
"Wait a minute." Li Chao was very confident about his explosive pack.
Under the city.
The explosive pack weighing more than 20 kilograms is very considerable, a huge pack.
It fell from the sky, smashed into the pile of Turkic people, and directly hit one. The huge explosive pack scared the Turkic people, but they immediately discovered that this thing was actually a cloth pack. The unlucky guy was smashed and he was not dead. He even got up.
"Hahaha, what the hell is this?"
Normally, such a large stone bullet, if you hit it, you will die even if you hit it next to it. You may even hurt several more people when rolling. But now, none of them are actually blown to death.
"Huh, why are there still smoking?"
"smoke?"
Several Turkic people looked at it curiously, and even forgot that their main business was to attack the city.
The big cloth bag was indeed still smoking, and white smoke was rising.
"Is this an extinguished fireball?"
Someone asked.
Someone was watching while holding a knife to stab him.
A poke.
But it seemed like it had pierced the sky.
With a loud bang, the fire flashed away, a small fireball flashed by, followed by black smoke, and then countless screams.
The Turkic soldiers farther away felt a shaking under their feet.
Countless people turned their heads involuntarily, and then only saw a flash of sparks and the soil splashing everywhere.
“It’s raining?”
A Turkic soldier felt a chill on his face.
But when he reached out to wipe it, he saw a bright red color on his fingers.
hiss!
It was not rain, but red.
His first reaction was that it was raining red and then he immediately woke up. It was blood.
The few people who were surrounding the explosive pack just now, and the guy who was unlucky and was lucky enough to die, were all blown up in the moment just now.
Broken limbs fly across, blood rain falls on the day.
All the Tang soldiers standing on the city saw this sound.
Li Chao smiled, and the momentum was indeed amazing. Although it seemed that the explosion range was very small and had little lethality, the Turkic people under the city were so dense that this explosive pack, which was originally not very powerful, was very lethal.
"Yeah!" Li Chao clenched his fist and waved hard into the air, unable to help but say ok.
The artillery soldiers over there looked at the city in a daze, and still couldn't believe it. They actually made it out just now.
"This thing is much more powerful than a stone bomb." The artillery captain murmured.
"Yes, head, the stone bomb hit a big pit, but it won't sound like a thunder, and it can even emit fire balls, let alone blow up a large area of people around you."
"Oh my God, this explosive pack is really so powerful? We are so awesome."
The captain was extremely excited and shouted loudly.
"Damn it, what are you waiting for? Get my explosive bag and blow them up to death."
Just now, it was just the first shot, the test shot.
The test shot was amazing and unexpectedly good.
Since that's the case, what are you waiting for? Of course, you have to throw all the explosive bags down.
The more fried, the better.
The artillery excitedly moved the explosive pack, twisted the casting cannon, then ignited and shot.
On the top of the city, one catapult after another was shot.
As the center of gravity of the three internal and external passes built by the imperial court in the north, Loufan Pass not only has a strong city, but also many heavy crossbows and heavy artillery.
An explosive pack weighing more than 20 kilograms requires a large catapult to eject, but there are many in Loufanguan City.
Seeing at least hundreds of explosive packs being thrown out, Li Chao had a smile on his face, damn it, let you know that it is amazing.
One after another, the explosive packs fell to the city, smashed into the Turks, and then exploded one after another.
"Several didn't sound."
"That's okay, it's louder. At this moment, at least hundreds of people were killed and destroyed."
"The power is still a little less." Li Chao said.
"The Prime Minister is not small anymore. This thing is so powerful that it is scary. Ordinary stone bombs are not as powerful as that. Besides, this thing is not only killing, but also has a great momentum, just like the God of Thunder Tribulation Divine Punishment." Su Lie shouted excitedly.
"Stop another round and stop."
After a volley, the rumbling explosion was indeed effective. Although not many direct kills were killed, it scared the Turks. Many Turks even fled in scattered areas. The cavalry that covered the siege and cavalry could not control the war horses, and the war horses were frightened and running around.
It turned out that the extremely sharp wave of offensive was directly extinguished by this round of cannons.
The pressure on the women's deputies in the city suddenly became much easier.
"Prime Minister, let's have a few more rounds."
"Don't, save some effort, and let's talk about it. What if we fight too hard and scare away the sudden attack."
Chapter completed!
