In fact, black oil does not burn immediately after touching Mars. It needs to be hot enough.
The black oil contained in the jar was heated in advance and shook violently when it was thrown out by the catapult. The jar mouth was sealed with a burning cloth strip. The moment it was smashed open was actually an explosion.
The people at the center of the explosion were not blown to the bone. They were first shot by the pieces of jars and cans, and then drenched with burning black oil.
The people around the explosion center were splashed with sparks, and the extreme high temperature caused burns, which was an unspeakable severe pain.
Fuel pipes filled with black oil were constantly thrown into the city by Sasan stone catapults outside the city. Some jars and cans may have been thrown at the wrong angle and directly hit the city wall. The fire generated after the explosion swallowed up the people in that section of the city wall.
Not only one jar of black oil was smashed on the wall, but also more Sassanian soldiers were injured by mistake. Some smashed the warring wall section, making the enemy and us become firemen in an instant.
Although there were accidental injuries, Sassanian's catapult troops had no intention of stopping at all. They still threw pots of black oil at intervals.
Most of the jars and cans thrown by the catapult still fell into the city. One after another, fires were irregularly distributed, and there were Peshawar soldiers and civilians running around on fire everywhere.
People with fire on their bodies will affect others when they run around. Everyone is afraid of being affected. People who don't have fire on their bodies should naturally stay away from those who have become living people.
The trend of counterattack in some areas of Peshawar has been interrupted, which is a state of self chaos.
The Peshawar army and people in more areas continued to charge with hysteria after panic.
The Persians really fired pots of black oil into the city, proving that the rumor that they wanted to turn Peshawar into a sea of fire is true.
The Sassanian army didn't intend to accept surrender and wanted to burn everyone?
There is no shortage of Peshawar soldiers and civilians who are afraid of mental collapse, but there will be no shortage of Peshawar soldiers and civilians who want to fight hard for a chance to live.
Peshawar soldiers and civilians poured out of the residential areas. In a state of hysteria, they almost rushed up and didn't want to live, and launched a desperate charge.
A person who doesn't want to die can frighten a large group of people. If thousands of people don't want to die, the energy burst out is beyond imagination!
There are still pots of black oil falling in the sky. What should be done to the soldiers and civilians in Peshawar? Those who are not hit do not look at the miserable situation of those who are hit, and continue to rush forward.
On the one hand, it is the condition of being accidentally injured occasionally or being swallowed by dozens of people at one time. On the other hand, the Sassanian soldiers are suffering from the indiscriminate counterattack of Peshawar army and people. Under their double pressure, some soldiers really couldn't stand it and began to retreat.
If it were not above the city wall, some passages that can go down would be constantly coming up, and then there are supervision teams waiting to kill deserters anytime and anywhere. The timid Sassanian soldiers would not just retreat.
In the inner area of the city wall, the enemy and ourselves have been completely entangled.
In this situation, no matter the archers of Sassanian or Peshawar, they get the order to ignore everything. As long as their hands can draw a bow, they can't stop shooting.
Under the desperate counterattack of Peshawar's army and people, more and more sections of the city wall have been recaptured, and even Peshawar's army and people have rushed out of the city, but they have been killed one by one by Sassanian soldiers with absolute quantitative advantage.
"How far is the Han army from us?" DOS pars Canaan Dina looked at the battle on the city wall without expression and got the answer. His face changed: "where's our army?"
When the Han army came out of the mountains, it did not advance at the first time. It must be a whole team.
There were not many scouts arranged by sashan, but he didn't find the Han Army at the first time. He saw the rolled up smoke and dust only after the whole Han Army started marching.
In fact, before Li Tan ordered the troops to leave the mountain area, many scouts had been sent out in advance.
The task of these scouts this time is not to investigate the enemy, but to find and kill Sasan's scouts.
Suddenly, a large number of Han scouts appeared, which made Sasan's scouts notice something bad. But scout sashan didn't find a large Han Army, or even a Han army with a number of more than 100, so he really couldn't give a warning.
Waiting for the Han Army led by Li Tan to be found, there are not many scouts left.
In the era of no radio, scouts on Sasan's side relied on lighting wolf smoke to send police. Soon after they lit the wolf smoke, a large number of Han Army Scouts or cavalry teams came. If they didn't leave, they would face a one-sided killing.
Then, whether there are Persians or not, the wolf smoke will be put out by the Han army.
DOS pars Canaan Dina got the news a little late. He waited for the Han Army to approach baishawa for about 20 miles. When he saw wolf smoke, he knew that the Han army appeared.
Each wolf smoke did not appear for a long time, but it was enough for Sassanian army to carry out the most basic message transmission.
"No less than 30000 Han troops?" DOS pars Canaan Dina did not confirm whether the information was accurate: "we should count more, not..."
The unknown situation is not a good thing for any generals, but those generals never mind thinking and speculating in a more serious direction.
"Twenty miles." DOS pars Canaan Dina kept clenching his hands into fists, loosened them and then held them up: "twenty miles will not take more than a Han hour for cavalry."
At present, all countries in the world basically have their own timing units as long as they have produced culture, but compared with the timing mode of the Han Empire, the rest of the countries are lagging behind.
At present, only the Han Empire reduces the timing unit to seconds. For example, the smallest time unit of the Persians is the quarter clock of the Han Empire, that is, 15 minutes.
Because the timing units of the Han Empire are the most advanced, those countries that have contacted the Han Empire naturally adopt the timing method of the Han Empire.
Sassanne had a friendly period with the Han Empire for two or three years, and a large number of Persians went to the Han Empire.
In the history of Persians, there are records about the Han people. They actually have endless expectations for the Han people. They have the impression that "the Han people are forced by the cow and the Han people are competing for the high". When they go to the Han Empire, they find that many places are far away from Pisan. Naturally, they learn without any psychological burden.
"It's too late?" DOS pars Canaan Dina saw that many sections of the city wall had been taken back by the Peshawar army and people. His own troops had collapsed partially. His face was uncertain. He bit his teeth and shouted: "stone catapults, bed crossbows... No matter what, even if people go up, I want to see the whole Peshawar swallowed by the fire!!!"
The Han Empire rushed to rescue Peshawar's army, and they have found the trace.
It will not take more than an hour to predict how long the cavalry troops of the Han army will arrive.
Just an hour? DOS pars Canaan Dina didn't think his soldiers would suddenly rise up. He had almost no hope of defeating the army and people of Peshawar, but he was unwilling to let him give up.
"Not just an hour!" DOS pars Canaan Dina took a deep breath: "did our chariots and cavalry meet with the cavalry of the Han army?"
Before, DOS pars Canaanite Dinah has sent troops, 3000 chariots and 13000 cavalry of all kinds.
This Sassanian mobile force is not in the wrong direction. They are directly facing the Han Army approaching Peshawar. If there is no accident, they will collide with that Han Army in about half an hour.
It can be predicted that the Han army will certainly fight with Sasan's chariots and cavalry. Then it depends on how long the Han army can reach the Peshawar battlefield. It depends on whether the Han army will win and how long it will win.
DOS pars Canaan Dina's own estimation is that the own troops sent to meet the Han Army are not miscellaneous soldiers. Even if they can't win, how can they hold the Han army for at least three or four hours or more?
"General..." albledas Shales hesitated: "the situation is unknown. Just stop attacking the city or withdraw?"
DOS pars Canaan Dina knew that albledas' advice was prudent, but he took a knife and directly took albledas Shales hacked to death and roared angrily, "if anyone shakes the morale of the army, it will end like this!"
A group of Sassanian generals took a step back subconsciously.
Albledas Shales is not a cat and dog. The shales family can be regarded as a middle aristocrat in the East. It just said a word and made a very pertinent suggestion. It has been convulsing on the ground. Even if it is rescued quickly, it is estimated that it can't save such a large and deep wound down the left shoulder and neck.
"Ho ho!" DOS pars Canaan Dina looked at the generals with different expressions and said, "the Han Army has appeared. Escape? It looks like it's all cavalry. How do you want to die?"
No one said a word, but when they learned that there was really a Han Army approaching, they really fell into a panic for a time.
The main reason is that the achievements of the Han Empire are terrible!
After the re emergence of the Han people, it is from this victory to the next victory, and the opposing countries or nations are disappearing one by one.
The last time sassanne gathered so many allies, even the Romans sent three legions, but he suffered an unexpected defeat in hunit.
During the battle in hunnit, the Allied forces turned in nearly 180000 people. Sassanian side was excellent. Twenty or thirty thousand people fled back, and the rest of the Allies... The Romans ended up annihilated. There were more similar medium-sized countries and small forces, and hunnit simply ended up in a tragic outcome of survival in name only.
How many Han troops were sent out that time? It is said that it is not a particularly elite Han army.
This time, they knew that there were feather forest armies in the western expedition corps of the Han Empire, and there were three standing armies in the front line.
They were assigned to fight jidora. Before and after departure, they felt lucky. They thought it would be much easier to face jidora ruled by Xiaoyue people than to fight directly with the Han army.
The early invasion made them feel that their ideas were not wrong at all.
Even if the day and night of attacking Peshawar were not smooth, and even the whole city of Peshawar showed a firm will to resist, they still didn't feel much pressure.
Now? The attack of the Han Army changed everything. Even Peshawar's resolute resistance made the situation worse, and everyone's mood was bad enough.
"Can you beat the Han people..." dospars Canaan Dina did not say any more, shook his head and continued: "at least let jidoro pay an unbearable price for their choice!"
There was not much reaction from the generals present.
DOS pars Canaan Dina wanted to attack, endured it and said, "solve Peshawar first, or wait for the Han Army to really kill... Ha ha!"
This time, the generals and schools reacted. They also have brains and know that fighting in one direction is definitely much easier than facing the enemy in two directions.
Before long, the Sassanian army attacking the city broke out with unprecedented momentum.
It is mainly that some generals personally went to the front line. Most of them are aristocrats, and aristocrats are still very deterrent to Persians. Many soldiers are from a feudal land of an aristocrat. If soldiers don't fight hard, it will become not only that they may die, but also their relatives in their hometown will be involved.
The Sassanian army broke out. A group of them were clearly threatened by the nobles. In addition, those nobles made heavy promises. They had to work hard if they didn't work hard under coercion and inducement.
In the same desperate state, the Sassanian army is definitely "more efficient" than the Peshawar army and people.
On the one hand, there are soldiers at the imperial level who have received military training for at least a period of time. On the other hand, there are small countries and few people mixed with the army and people. Under the same desperate state, at least Sassanian soldiers know how to kill.
The Sassanian side began to be fierce, but the Peshawar army and people inevitably fell back after entering hysteria, and gradually the battle of the city wall began to turn around.
This time, Sassanian soldiers no longer just wanted to occupy the city wall, but went down to the city when they had the opportunity to catch Peshawar soldiers and civilians as much as possible.
After the momentum, it was obvious that the morale of Sassanian soldiers was increasing. Some of them hung pottery pots, which were naturally filled with black oil and weapons. They began to rush directly with torches.
The highest point of the palace fortress, luhmaru Jiduo used the telescope borrowed from Ma Bin to watch the battlefield. He trembled his hands and his voice was also trembling: "I can't keep it..."
Peshawar's military and civilian offensives repeatedly poured out of residential areas were blocked, and even some retreated. Facts once again proved that sometimes it is not enough to be afraid of death. Once you meet the regular army who is also afraid of death, you will be pressed on the ground
