The people from the science and engineering department responded: "Sir, it's open!"
Xu Zizhen laughed brightly: "Okay, lift the lid and show your face!"
"yes!"
Zhao Gou and others looked back, and now they could no longer look away. Everyone's mouths were open wide enough to fit an egg in.
I saw a pile of unknown objects somewhere in the middle of the city wall, which was covered tightly with oilcloth. Dozens of students from the science and engineering department did not know what they were busy behind the oilcloth, but bursts of heat evaporated from under the cloth. Following Xu Zizhen's order,
Several people stepped forward and moved away the large rocks pressing down on the oilcloth, and then with a forceful lift, a huge and strange thing appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The appearance of the thing was dark, with an iron frame underneath and a big round iron bump on the top. It looked like a big wine jar placed on the stove. A fire was lit under the iron frame, with a bellows on each side, and a dozen people divided it.
Pulling hard on both sides, the flames became red and burned under the big iron belly.
This was not over yet. The science and engineering students took out thick and long iron rods from under the oilcloth, and quickly put them together, and installed all these iron rods on the weird thing. More than a dozen iron rods were assembled into a piece.
A huge iron support, several feet long, was placed squarely on the inner side of the city wall. There was also a large iron pocket on top.
Just as everyone was looking at it curiously, they heard a few people from the science and engineering department shout: "Sir, everything is ready!"
Xu Zizhen waved his hand: "Okay, listen to my command, load the gun and light the fire!"
"yes!"
Dozens of students shouted in unison, and pulled out a rattan basket from under the oilcloth. Inside the basket was a ball. It was so big that it was almost the size of two people hugging each other. The surface looked dark and shiny, but I don't know.
What is it? Dozens of people worked together to move the big basket into the big bag on the iron support, and then took a torch and put it on top.
With a bang, the black ball suddenly burst into flames, startling everyone.
Zhao Gou asked in shock: "Zizhen, what... is this?"
Xu Zizhen chuckled: "You will know in a moment, let me scare the grandson first." Then he raised the loudspeaker and said to the outside of the city, "Xiao Si, it's freezing cold and you still lead so many people around here.
, look at how your sons are frozen like birds. Did you bring your own sweet potatoes? I’ll make a fire for you to roast them.”
The smile on Wu Shu's face suddenly disappeared. He didn't know what sweet potato was, but the word "fire" made him keenly aware that something was wrong.
Xu Zizhen waved one hand and shouted: "Let go!"
"yes!"
The student from the Department of Science and Engineering responded loudly. The young man who was on duty at the top of the city just stretched out his hand and pulled hard somewhere on the iron support. He heard a loud and clear sound, and the iron support suddenly bounced up. The bullet at the top of the support was burning.
The fireball was thrown high and shot towards the outside of the city.
The fireball roared away with the sound of wind, drawing a fiery red arc in the air, with billowing black smoke, like a star falling from the sky. At this moment, both the Jin people and the Song people inside and outside the city were stunned.
, because they have never seen such a big fireball, and they have never seen such a big fireball fly so high and far.
Wu Shu was probably one of the few people who was still awake. When he saw the fireball flying out of the city, he immediately screamed something bad and shouted urgently: "After the order is given, the troops disperse quickly!"
The small school in charge of the military flag hurriedly raised the flag, but it was too late.
Just hearing a loud bang, the fireball fell into the center of the Jin army without any bias. It exploded violently the moment it landed, exploding thousands of countless sparks. Hundreds of soldiers and horses closest to the place where the fireball landed unexpectedly
They were all lifted up by the strong air wave, and for a while, the broken limbs and broken arms were flying all over the sky, and screams were endless. The soldiers a little further away were not necessarily much better, because the scattered small sparks burned after splashing on their bodies.
When I stood up, the flames didn't look big, but they couldn't be extinguished. Even rolling on the ground immediately was useless.
The 100-meter radius where the fireball hit the ground instantly became a Shura hell. Black smoke billowed out and covered the sky. The ground was littered with charred corpses of people and horses. The horror was unbearable to see. Those who survived were even worse, still on the ground.
It rolled around and howled loudly, until the screams became weaker and weaker, and then it slowly died.
Wu Shu seemed to be determined to conquer Yingtian Mansion this time, so in addition to leaving a small number of troops to guard Bianjing, he brought almost all the left army over, a total of 100,000 troops, and he always liked
To suppress people with force, even if they attack quickly over a long distance, they like to arrange the army in a square shape, which looks very powerful. But it looks good this way, but the density between the soldiers and horses is even greater. The fireball hits
Among the crowd, it caused him the greatest harm.
In addition, it is now the middle of winter, and the armor on the golden soldiers is all lined with thick cotton jackets. The weather is dry and the wind is tight, and the flames spread immediately as soon as they touch the body. They are already burning up and down without even taking off their armor.
With just one fireball, more than 2,000 of the 100,000-strong gold army were instantly killed.
The smile that had always been on Wu Shu's face finally disappeared. He stared at the Yingtian Mansion wall not far away, and almost said three words from between his teeth: "Xu! Zi! Zhen!"
Xu Zizhen also didn't expect that a fireball could cause such great damage. He stared blankly at the charred land and corpses everywhere, feeling suddenly at a loss in his heart.
It's true that he has never killed enemies since he came to this era, but before he only used knives and guns, but there has never been such a cruel scene as today. After all, he is a new human from future generations, and for a while he couldn't accept this scene.
It was caused by himself.
There seemed to be a voice in his heart shouting: "This is thousands of human lives, human lives! Xu Zizhen, you bastard, you are also a fucking murderer!"
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and patted him on the shoulder. Then, Zhao Gou's familiar voice sounded in his ears in a low voice: "If you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill me."
, don’t be merciful.”
Xu Zizhen was shuddered and looked back in astonishment, only to see Zhao Gou looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.
To be honest, Xu Zizhen felt the urge to beat Zhao Gou for the first time in his heart. Thousands of living lives were lost and they died so miserably. Zhao Gou actually said an understatement and persuaded Xu Zizhen to continue.
Killing, although from a certain perspective it was true, Xu Zizhen still felt disgusted.
But now, the turning point of an era is in the hands of him and Zhao Gou, and it is not time to fall out.
Xu Zizhen took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Don't worry Master Qi, I'm fine. I was just stunned by that thing." After saying that, he turned to look outside the city, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself in the next second.
generally.
After all, Wu Shu was a famous figure in history. He quickly adjusted his mood, calmness and confidence returned to his face. He turned over his hand and pulled out his sword and shouted: "Kuliel, set up the formation and attack the city for me!"
