The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 414
"How shameless! You release poisonous smoke every time you fight, Zhang Wu, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?" Cao Cao yelled, and the poisonous smoke also floated to the Chinese army, making Cao Cao feel sick and uncomfortable.

But this trick is impossible to crack, because now Cao Cao and his men and women have determined that Zhang Wu can change the wind direction at any time.At the turn of spring and summer, the wind was still easterly just now, and Cao Jun was still in the upper hand, but it turned into a southwest wind in a blink of an eye, and the poisonous smoke just drifted towards Cao Jun.

However, Cao Cao then laughed and said, "Hehe, I knew you were going to release the poisonous smoke a long time ago, so I have already prepared for it!"

Cao Jun soldiers also took out masks sewn with thick cloth from their arms one after another, then wet them with the water bags they carried with them, and put them on their faces.

It turned out that Zhang Wu used poisonous smoke to fight Cao's army many times. After suffering several losses, Cao Cao finally adopted the method of wearing a mask after gathering information and collective discussions.

Every Cao soldier carried a mask and a bag of water with him. If the opponent released poisonous smoke, he would wear a mask to protect his mouth and nose, and wash his eyes with water.

This poisonous fume does not make you faint when you smell it. Only long-term inhalation of a large amount will cause fainting. If you only inhale a small amount of poisonous fume, at most you will be nauseated, dizzy, and your eyes will shed tears when your eyes are irritated.As long as you protect your mouth and nose and squint your eyes, there will be no major problems in a short time.

This battlefield is very open, and the poisonous smoke won't last long, and the two sides are already very close. As long as they quickly rush to the opponent and engage in hand-to-hand combat, the opponent can't return the poisonous smoke, right?

Cao Jun's soldiers accelerated forward under the urging of the war drums. They were not afraid of fighting, but they were tired of these disgusting things. If you have the ability, everyone will do it with real knives and guns!

But Zhang Wu firmly believes in a truth, that is, on the battlefield, as long as he can win, it doesn't matter what method I use.Killing with a knife is killing, killing with a bow and arrow is also killing, burning with fire, flooding with water, and smashing with stones, isn't that also killing?So why not use poisonous smoke?
Of course, Zhang Wu, as a crossing party, still has some bottom lines. He is determined not to use bacteria or viruses that can spread on a large scale as weapons, because in this era of low medical level, it is very likely that they will spread. , causing heavy losses to civilians.

Besides, the poisonous smoke will only cause some adverse reactions to the enemy troops, and the poison will not kill people in a short period of time, and there will be no sequelae. Zhang Wu doesn't think this is something to be ridiculed at all.

Zhuge Liang saw Cao Jun in the middle army, but he didn't panic when he saw Cao Jun shrouded in poisonous smoke, and he rushed over at a faster pace. Although he couldn't see Cao Jun wearing masks one by one, he could guess that the other party had countermeasures .

So Zhuge Liang ordered the black flag to be waved, and a row of small noose-type trebuchets suddenly appeared in the Chu army's front array. The soldiers responsible for the operation placed sealed clay pots in the launch basket.

With an order, these soldiers launched the pottery pots into the phalanx of Cao Jun's soldiers. Those pottery pots were blocked by the shields of Cao Jun's soldiers, and after breaking with a snap, a black viscous liquid flowed out, which was extremely flammable kerosene .The fire oil flowed down the shield and onto the soldiers, and some unlucky soldiers were splashed all over their heads.

"It's kerosene! It's kerosene! Run!" Cao Jun's soldiers, who had seen this thing before, recognized it and shouted loudly after being frightened out of their wits.As long as you are not a fool, you will naturally know why the other party launched this thing. If there is no accident, the other party will soon launch a rocket to ignite the fuel.

Back then Zhang Wu used kerosene bombs to attack Hefei, and some defenders in Hefei were burnt to death after being doused in kerosene all over their bodies.

Sure enough, the archers of the Chu army then fired rockets, and immediately a sea of ​​flames ignited in the formation of the soldiers of the Cao army. The extremely high temperature burned the soldiers of the Cao army and screamed again and again.

How many people in the world can remain motionless while being burned all over?
At this time, which soldier will continue to charge with a large shield!

At this time, the southwest wind is still blowing. During the burning of the kerosene, a large amount of toxic smoke will be produced, which is no worse than the previous poisonous smoke bomb. No matter how the chief general ordered, he couldn't calm down.

The Chu army took the opportunity to fire their bows and crossbows again. This time there was no shield to resist, and a large area of ​​Cao Jun in the front row was shot down again.

"My son Zhang Wu, you are so shameless!" Cao Cao cursed angrily when he saw the fire erupting in his army, and the soldiers panicked and lost their morale.

Cao Cao also knew that the other party used the so-called "fire oil bomb". He had seen it before and knew how powerful the fire oil was, and Cao Cao also sent someone to find out that the so-called "fire oil" was mined from the ground.Therefore, Cao Cao also convened civil and military officials under his command to discuss, and learned that this is the flammable Weishui recorded in the "Hanshu".

The incident recorded in the "Hanshu" was in Yongzhou, which was Cao Cao's territory, so Cao Cao also sent people to search near Weishui in Yongzhou.

Later, I found it, but these things are generally buried underground, and after all, only a few emerge. It requires certain skills to mine them, and the ones that are directly mined are not easy to use, so they need certain skills to refine them.

Zhang Wu started mining and refining many years ago, and the technology has been relatively mature so far, so it can be applied on the battlefield on a large scale.But in terms of the technology of this era, it was still very backward, and the annual output was not high. After so many years of accumulation, Zhang Wu could only fight three large battles.

Therefore, although Cao Cao has also discovered a place where fire oil can be produced, it is impossible to apply it to war in a short time.

This kerosene bomb is indeed powerful on the battlefield. As long as it is a human being, there is no one who is not afraid of fire. It really hurts when it burns on the body!
In fact, since the start of the war, the losses of the soldiers on both sides have not been great. Even though Cao Jun's soldiers have experienced multiple blows, not many people died, and each flank lost at most about [-] soldiers.

There were [-] soldiers on each side of Cao Jun's two wings. The two thousand casualties did not have much impact, but morale was seriously hit.

The Chu army deployed 200 soldiers on each side, and 300 versus [-] is actually not much of a disadvantage.Two people beat three people, the gap is a bit big, and under normal circumstances they can't beat them.But if [-] people fight [-] people, if you cooperate well and dare to fight hard, it is normal to win.

If the number increases from [-] to [-], the gap will basically not be obvious. The key depends on the command and dispatch of both sides and the morale of the soldiers.

Now Cao's soldiers are demoralized by the poisonous smoke and fire, and if this continues, they may lose.If the two wings are defeated, allowing the enemy to attack on both sides, Cao Cao's central army will be in danger.

No matter who it is, if he suddenly finds himself surrounded by enemies on all sides while fighting, he will definitely be a little panicked. He will unconsciously think about it, if he is defeated, will there be no way to escape?
