Chapter 12 Vulcan descend to earth
"Burn, burn them to death!"
The soldiers on the city wall who were frightened by the atrocities of these Qing troops, Minzhuang, looked at the Qing troops trapped in the sea of fire, and listened to the miserable cries for help coming from the sea of fire, and they all shouted excitedly.
"Burn these bastards to death..."
In the raging flames, you can see moving and struggling "burning men" from outside. The Qing troops covered in fire were like candles moving one by one. They struggled and screamed in pain, and at the same time
I slapped the burning body with my hands, but couldn't put out the fire. Occasionally, some moving "human wax" struggled and ran out of the sea of fire. They struggled, cried, and wanted to pray to the people on the city wall.
He showed mercy and gave them an arrow, but the people on the city wall seemed invisible. Some soldiers who couldn't bear it had just thought of picking up their bows and arrows to end their suffering when they heard someone scolding them.
"Don't fire arrows, burn these beasts to death!"
The firemen struggled hard, and they jumped into the moat in despair, but the frozen river surface did not extinguish the fire on them. They could only struggle desperately on the ice, and finally formed a human figure on the ice.
The "fire wax".
There were also some people who fled in the other direction, which was the direction they were heading into the city. There were also the Qing troops blocked by the flames. When these burning people rushed out, they were all startled. Originally,
They thought these fire people were Ming people, but the Manchurian dialect shouted by the fire people made them realize in horror that these fire people were their own people. Just when they were stunned, the fire people ran towards them.
, trying to get their own people to save or kill them. When they were struggling, they threw out the burned and tattered cotton armor, and threw the gasoline-soaked armor onto others, immediately igniting others.
For a time, on the road leading to the royal city, Qing troops could be seen running around in panic. They were no longer as arrogant as before, but were just trying to avoid those human-shaped "candles" in fear...
Staring at the sea of fire in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang seemed a little excited!
This is gasoline!
What the high-pressure water cannon sprayed was not water, but gasoline he brought from another world! It was a full tank of gasoline. He didn't know whether the oil sold by private oil dealers was up to standard, but it was definitely fine for setting fires.
Although there are certain risks in spraying gasoline with high-pressure water cannons, Zhu Guoqiang can't care so much. After all, this is the only effective weapon he can find, except of course, the spear heads for hunting wild boars.
In fact, the original suggestion given by netizens was to use gasoline to make "Motorov cocktails", but the phrase "burn them with gasoline" made Zhu Guoqiang's eyes light up. Why only use gasoline bombs? You can completely use a flamethrower.
Because of the complex structure of the flamethrower, he chose another relatively risky weapon - high-pressure water cannon.
Use a high-pressure water cannon to blast the gasoline dozens of meters away, and leave the rest to the rocket. As for what happens next, it’s up to God!
Now it seems that the "gasoline cannon" is really effective!
But it only took a minute to spray oil, and almost all the two hundred Qing troops were left here.
Listening to the cries coming from the burning flames of Xiongxiong gradually became fainter, and watching the head of the burning flames weakening, Zhu Guoqiang ordered Chen Changgeng beside him.
"Put down the hanging basket and hang all the people up!"
The people who were waiting for death under the city gate in despair finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the bamboo baskets tied with ropes being lowered one by one. Now they were better and could survive.
When the people under the city wall were being pulled up to the top of the city one by one, Zhu Guoqiang ordered the soldiers beside him.
"Fire the fireball!"
"As you command!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately pulled the "giant slingshot" excitedly. These "giant slingshots" made of steel were borrowed from the "ingenuity" of the Syrians in another world. They could lift a weight of two kilograms.
The ammunition hit 200 meters away.
"Hey……"
With the soldiers pulling with all their strength, the rubber leather rope five to six centimeters thick was tightened to the extreme. A clear yellow glass bottle in the slingshot bag pointed directly at the distant sky.
"instigate……"
The glass bottle flew out, drawing a parabola in the air. It flew for more than a hundred meters before hitting the roof, and immediately burst into flames.
The fire ball rising from the roof startled Chen Changgeng and others. They looked at the boxes of glass bottles on the ground. Why did this thing catch fire?
"Keep beating and burn those beasts to death!"
Looking at the several fires rising in the distance, Zhu Guoqiang roared viciously.
Motoloff Cocktail!
The suggestion given by that netizen was to buy gasoline and make Motolov cocktails in glass bottles. This kind of thing is not only easy to use, but also very powerful. Its ferocious flames cannot even be doused with water.
Of course, the more important thing is that it’s cheap! A bottle plus gasoline only costs a few dollars, and it’s legal!
Following Zhu Guoqiang's order, the soldiers operated more than a dozen "giant slingshots" to launch "Motolov Cocktails" one by one to places as close as 100 meters away and as far away as 200 meters away, causing a stir in the city.
Balls of flames.
The fire in front of the city gate was still burning. The gasoline sprayed from the water cannon not only ignited the Qing troops, but also ignited the nearby buildings. The Qing troops who followed them, even if they were not sprayed by the gasoline, had to
Faced with the reality of being caught in a sea of fire, especially the gasoline bombs dropped from the air, they directly blocked their retreat.
The circumference of Jinan City is only 6 kilometers, and the north and south are only more than one kilometer. The distance from Duanren Gate in the Royal City to the South Gate of Jinan City is only 500 meters. With the help of hundreds of "Motorov Cocktails"
, all the blocks south of the Royal City were set on fire. Because brick and wood structures are easy to burn, the fire in the center of the city soon became bigger and bigger.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew in the sky, and the wind speed was very fast. When the wind blowing from the north blew through the gap in the north wall of the city, it became faster and fanned the fire like a draft.
The wind helped the fire, and the fire burned more and more fiercely, and soon a sea of fire was formed in front of people's eyes.
The "Motorov Cocktails" launched from the large slingshot continued to fall in various places, and soon ignited most of the entire Jinan City. Some scattered flames gathered into a ball under the influence of the wind, and scattered
The flames quickly gathered into a raging sea of fire.
The strong wind blew away the flames, and the flames rolled forward and burned forward. The fire spread quickly, and the wooden structure houses were good "fuel". With enough fuel, Jinan immediately fell into a sea of fire. The flames shot up to the sky and the earth.
In the meantime, the Qing troops who had originally poured into the city to kill and loot indiscriminately became panicked. Although they had set fire to the city whenever they broke through the wall since entering the Pass, they only set fire to it after they had robbed everything.
Like now, they set a fire before they started looting.
"Who the hell set the fire right now..."
Yelling and cursing can't solve the problem at this time. For the Qing army without military pay, breaking the city and looting is a must to maintain the army's combat effectiveness. Almost as soon as the city of Jinan was broken, tens of thousands of Qing troops poured into the city like a tide.
Yes, they killed the people wantonly and robbed everything. Even a cotton-padded jacket would make them happy for a while. At this time, they were all carrying heavy baggage - the stolen clothes.
They had all the silver and copper coins on their backs. Now faced with the sudden fire, they didn't even have time to run, and were swallowed up by the fire.
In the fierce flames, these once rampant Qing troops desperately called and shouted for help. They tried to run out towards several gaps in the city walls that poured into Jinan, but the narrow gaps were still half a foot high from the ground.
Only a few people managed to escape, while more people fell into the sea of fire.
The city walls of Jinan turned the city into a huge furnace, and the wind blowing from the gaps further fueled the fire. Under the influence of the strong wind, the fire caused a strong wave of hot air and cold air.
Convection wind, the fire was carried by the wind. The wind assisted the fire. The fire ignited almost everything. Even the armor on some Qing soldiers was melted by the high temperature.
As for people, they have spontaneously combusted in the suffocating heat, and like wood, they have become fuel in the flames!
Even though he was separated by the royal city's moat several meters wide, when he felt the flames coming towards his face, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned by the sea of fire in front of him. He just wanted to burn people, but he never thought it would be like this... himself
Ju, actually burned the entire city of Jinan with a fire!
