*********************
This round of projection is very powerful, and these small clay pots were designed by Xiao Feng based on the Motolov cocktail used by the former Soviet Union during World War II.
In order to make up for the space blocked by close combat fire, the previous heavy fire oil tank used a catapult to launch a long distance, but the projection density was not large, and it was not convenient to use the catapult in close combat.
After being attacked by orcs at night last time, Xiao Feng has been thinking about strengthening the melee combat capabilities of human soldiers. The natural physical gap is there, so in terms of melee combat skills, no matter how much improvement is made, it is useless, so Xiao Feng uses his brain.
On to melee weapons.
Since these native soldiers could not be equipped with hot weapons such as muskets, Xiao Feng thought it would be good to have grenades?
But explosives like grenades are not so easy to handle. It just so happens that the world is not short of fuels like kerosene. He just happened to think of the Motolov cocktail that once frightened the Germans during World War II. In fact, it was the Soviet Union.
A kind of Molotov cocktail made by man.
The production method of this thing is simple, but its power is not small at all. It is very powerful in urban street fighting and defensive warfare.
There is no shortage of kerosene in this world, and the natives can also make some clay pots. Xiao Feng wondered if he could use these two things to make something similar to a Molotov cocktail.
So I told Charlesman about this similarity. Not to mention that during this period of time, Charlesman actually tinkered with something almost similar.
This clay pot, which is the size of a wine bottle, is also very fragile. It contains kerosene mixed with local gum, which is flammable and not easy to extinguish. The mouth of the bottle is stuffed with fire-conducting material, and when thrown out, it will burn into a large piece.
Moreover, Charles Mann also made a batch of giant slingshots based on the characteristics of the incendiary bottles. With these giant slingshots, the throwing distance of the incendiary bottles is also greatly increased. When launched with a slingshot, it can be thrown as far as two to three hundred meters.
.
If a human throws it with bare hands, it can be thrown twenty to fifty meters away. Such a thing is not weaker than the grenade in the human world.
Xiao Feng has asked Charisman and others to mass-produce it. In Xiao Feng's eyes, this thing is the artillery of this world. Although the firing distance is much worse than that of artillery, it is at least farther than bows and arrows. It can be used in field battles outside the city.
If so, it is also a very powerful weapon against orcs.
Unexpectedly, this weapon made its first appearance today on the city wall, and the effect seems to be very good.
Those leopard-headed men were like parkour athletes on the battlefield, very flexible, but they could not withstand the Molotov cocktails flying from all directions in the air. The density was so high, and when the clay pot fell to the ground, sparks would immediately fly.
It cannot be extinguished if it touches the body.
The momentum of the Leopard-headed men's charge, which was originally charging with great momentum, immediately stalled. They just happened to rush to the ditch a hundred meters away from the city wall, and they happened to be blocked by the barbed wire fence above the ditch. At this time, they were even more afraid of not being able to go up.
.
Charlesman would only let his men throw Molotov cocktails violently into the trench, and the leopard-headed men who were blocked in that line were immediately burned and sent flying in all directions.
The unlucky ones were hit by the cupping pot, and their whole bodies immediately turned into a torch. The lucky ones were not hit directly by the cupping pot, but the oil in the cupping pot splashed on their bodies, and they were burned to the point of screaming. The most terrifying thing
The thing was, the fire oil couldn't be extinguished no matter how much I splashed it. I slapped it twice with my hands, and after a while, my hands were on fire.
How could this be done? The leopards, who were originally afraid of fire, could no longer bear it. They screamed and fled back. However, their withdrawal did not disrupt the speed of the orcs' overall charge.
The centaurs, werewolf cavalry, and kobolds are still charging forward. The kobolds are the fastest. They should be designated as the vanguard of the city. The centaurs and werewolf cavalry are cruising under the city wall without stopping.
They exchanged fire with the human cavalry at the top of the city to provide cover for the kobolds.
After repelling the leopard-headed man, Charles Mann immediately adjusted the launch direction of the slingshot and threw the Molotov cocktail in the direction of the centaurs and werewolf cavalry. Although these guys were slightly farther away from the city wall, they were also in the giant slingshot.
within the shooting range.
The werewolf cavalry and centaurs were also driven back by the incendiary bottles. The further they retreated, the worse their accuracy became. They did not pose much of a threat to the humans on the city wall. However, the archers on the city wall only then
The energy was transferred to the kobolds who had rushed to the barbed wire and were climbing. For a while, the kobolds were howling like ghosts after being shot.
Xiao Feng did not intervene in the battle during this period. He was observing and looking for the Orcs' catapult positions. He is not participating in the battle now, but with the reasonable combination of human weapons, these Orcs will not pose a threat to the city wall, so he will
I don't believe that the orcs can endure it.
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, he saw encyclopedia black spots whizzing out from behind a mountain range in the distance. When the black spots approached the city wall, he could see clearly that they were hundreds of stone bullets the size of millstones.
This round of stone bullets was much more accurate than the previous two. This time, about fifty or sixty stone bullets hit the city wall. More than twenty of them caused considerable damage to the city wall. However,
Fortunately, the city wall could not be brought down, but it also caused huge casualties. At least hundreds of people were killed or injured in this round of stone bomb attacks.
Although the number of people killed and injured was not too many, the key point was that such stone bullets caused great damage to the morale of human soldiers. After all, no one wanted to be smashed into meat patties by huge stone bullets.
Xiao Feng also basically figured out the location of the orc catapult position, which was directly in front of him, behind the foothills of a mountain range about 800 meters away.
These guys are so smart that they know how to place the catapult position behind the hill, and then use the catapult's ejection principle to attack the city wall.
Looking at the golden eagles hovering above the battlefield, Xiao Feng understood the opponent's fighting method. How similar was this to the artillery battle between the British, French and German troops during World War I?
They use hot air balloons to detect the opponent's artillery positions in the air, and then the artillerymen complete over-the-horizon artillery battles based on the aerial reconnaissance data. Damn it, these orcs can actually think of such a method?
It’s really not that simple! You have underestimated the heroes of the world!
He took out his binoculars and carefully looked at the hill opposite him. It was just over 800 meters away from him, just outside the range of his mortars. Moreover, the opponent had arranged their position on the shady side of the mountain, not directly exposed to the line of sight.
Well, this is very difficult to fight.
Direct-fire artillery will definitely not work. The light and heavy machine guns in his hand, or the B10 recoilless rifle, will not be able to deal with this kind of catapult position hidden behind the mountain.
The only direct fire weapon was the RM38 mortar in his hand. Although it was quite powerful, its range was limited, only 500 meters, so it couldn't reach the opponent at all.
They also have catapults here, but the projection distance of their catapults can only reach about 800 meters. Considering that the opponent is hiding behind the mountain, this is not easy, not to mention the stone projectiles they project.
They are all the size of watermelons. Even if they are projected from such a long distance, they will not cause much harm to the orcs.
What should we do? Go out of the city to close the distance, and then use mortars to blow up the opponent's catapult positions. It sounds good, but there are tens of thousands of orc infantry outside. Going out at this time will mean death!
Is it possible to drive a tank over? But when he thought about it, he still wasn't very confident. He only had one tank, and the opponent could have 30,000 people. Even if the orcs lay down in front of the tank and pressed against it, they would be able to destroy the tank's tracks.
It's shocking to you, let alone the intricate battlefield outside.
So what should he do? Just when he was worried, another batch of stone bullets suddenly came from the opposite side. This time, they directly smashed three arrow towers on the city wall. Although the city wall was not destroyed, they also killed and injured others.
More than a hundred people were killed, and the morale of the defenders on the city wall dropped almost at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At this time, Xiao Feng couldn't help but regret that he didn't bring some helicopters over from Russia, but when he thought about it again, if he wanted to bring over helicopters, someone would have to be able to fly them, right?
It's okay for him to drive alone, but if he flies a helicopter, forget it!
What should he do? Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he quickly came down from the city wall and came to the platform in front of Shandong. Two griffons were squatting on the platform in front of the cave to rest, between the humans and the orcs in front.
The war didn't seem to affect them.
These two spiritual vultures were brought back when he made a sneak attack on the Black Wind Canyon earlier. They later signed soul contracts with him, but since then, he has been busy traveling between the two worlds to do business, and they have not been of much use.
On the other hand, when he was not around, Bloom spent more time with them.
Even Bloom often rides these two griffons to conduct reconnaissance outside the castle!
After all, he was the master who had signed a soul contract with the vulture. The vulture had a natural affinity for him. When it saw him, it immediately leaned in front of him, and its big furry head leaned into his arms.
Xiao Feng also suppressed his shock and reached out to stroke the heads of the griffons. These two griffons were just born more than a year ago, and they were only about the size of adult hunting dogs. But in this year's time, these two griffons
The spiritual vulture has grown to be as big as an eight-wheeled truck on the earth. Compared with the golden eagle of the orcs opposite, it is several times larger. No wonder it is an ancient divine beast in this world. Its size alone is particularly intimidating.
Xiao Feng looked at the two guys, actually reminding the enlarged eagle that its head is white and very similar to the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, but its size is hundreds of times larger. After seeing the size of this eagle, Xiao Feng
Feeling confident, he finally found a way to deal with the orc catapult positions.
