Chapter 67, Rabbit’s Revenge (Part 1)
Late at night, the Earl of Formar, the city of Italica
Night falls and the evening wind howls. Although it hadn't rained or snowed yet, the continuous clouds and mist still blocked the bright moonlight.
The imperial soldiers' violent carnival of plundering and plundering all day has almost come to an end. Except for the occasional cries and moans of women and children in some brightly lit houses, the rest of the city Everything is basically calm again.
In this massacred city, only a few faint blue will-o'-the-wisps were left, floating vaguely in the dead streets and alleys littered with corpses.
The blood-covered soldiers vented their destructive desire, and then carried large and small bags on their backs and returned to the bonfire in the camp. They toasted happily and drank happily, letting the remaining blood on their bodies go. The smell is strangely mixed with the aroma of wine and meat.
The soldiers outside Italica who were not allowed to enter the city to plunder had no choice but to touch their empty pockets and drool at the sight of their colleagues who had already made a small fortune - even though they were located in an important transportation area, But Italica is still just a small and medium-sized city with a population of more than 10,000, and many people escaped during the previous chaotic period. Now there are only a few thousand citizens left, which is really not enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to loot.
In fact, if so many troops were forced to pour into the city at once, the city of Italica would immediately turn into a subway car during rush hour, and the soldiers entering the city would be so crowded that they would pinch each other's arms and even move a little bit. It’s difficult, let alone doing anything...
Therefore, the soldiers who were lucky enough to participate in this massacre and robbery only accounted for a small part of the hundreds of thousands of troops under Emperor Soshar, and the vast majority of the remaining people could only watch helplessly from outside the city. The bloody feast makes my heart feel unbearable, but there is nothing I can do about it.
"...Oh, it doesn't matter if we didn't catch this opportunity this time. Young man, there are more places where we can make a fortune on the road ahead!"
A certain drunken veteran muttered inarticulately as he put a pottery cup filled with newly brewed ale to the mouth of a young recruit, "...Don't be discouraged! Those in our profession are the ones who do this. Have fun in time! Come and have a sip! It’s a rare treat.”
At the same time, another fat soldier was stirring the bubbling soup pot with a long-handled horse spoon, and occasionally adding bundles of firewood to the bonfire under the soup pot. Because the firewood was freshly cut and had not dried thoroughly, billowing smoke soon erupted, choking the people who were warming up around the fire to cough.
Amidst the curses and coughs of the soldiers, the black smoke from the bonfire was blown high into the sky by the howling evening wind.
However, almost no one on the ground could notice that just above the dark clouds above their heads, the huge Death vehicle had quietly arrived...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Is that hateful guy Soshar... in the city below? But I can't see anything here!"
In the bridge command cabin of the aerial battleship "Xiangrui" under the Arnus City Urban Management Brigade, Headhunting Rabbit Queen Tiurei was lying by the porthole, trying to keep her eyes open, trying to observe the scene on the ground. However, since it was late at night and covered by clouds and fog, it was really difficult to see much.
——The rabbit-eared girl is not a cat-eared girl, and she has no night vision ability beyond that of ordinary humans.
At this moment, in her eyes, she could only see bonfires that looked like reflections of stars covering the ground beneath her feet. They were distributed in long strips along both sides of the Apis Avenue, extending to the foot of the distant Romanian Mountains. Even to the end of the vast wilderness.
In any case, the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops is still very spectacular.
"...According to the display of the ship's night vision device, the lord's mansion in the city was hoisted with a purple royal flag, which is a symbol of the emperor's stay."
Wang Qiu, who was standing next to the captain's seat, replied while staring at the computer screen, "...Send the order! Open the bottom cabin and prepare to throw thermobaric bombs!"
Unlike airplanes whose engines can be heard roaring from a distance, these floating battleships that use Doraemon's black technology are almost as quiet as airships when soaring in mid-air - so now, this floating battleship Even though the fleet was hovering directly above the city of Italica, it did not attract the attention of anyone on the ground. Various military reconnaissance equipment in the modern world have long been able to make bombing operations no longer hindered by night and clouds.
Then, with the skillful operation of the crew, thick, black and hard thermobaric bombs separated from the hull one after another and plummeted towards the city below.
——Before the operation started, the relevant departments had a debate about how to destroy the imperial army that came to die in the most terrifying way to shock and intimidate the indigenous residents of Falmat continent, and one of them proposed using shuttles ( Anti-harmony) poison gas, there is a proposal to use nuclear weapons weapon...but considering that the sequelae of radiation contamination from the use of nuclear weapons are difficult to solve, and the death caused by poisonous gas is too "quiet", almost like euthanasia, it is not scary enough, so in the end we chose the one with strong sound and light effects, and "Conventional bombing" without radiation contamination.
Of course, in order to ensure that they could kill Soshar, the culprit, Wang Qiu and the others brought thermobaric bombs called "clean nuclear weapons" this time.
The so-called thermobaric bomb is actually an upgraded version of the cloud explosive bomb (fuel-air bomb). Its principle is to use air explosives to produce a thermobaric effect, so it is named thermobaric bomb. Like cloud explosive bombs, thermobaric bombs also generate explosive clouds and mist by mixing agents and air; they also form strong shock waves when they explode, which can cause serious damage to personnel, fortifications, and equipment; they can also quickly burn away the oxygen in the air. Causes temporary lack of oxygen in the explosion area. The main difference is that the thermobaric bomb uses a solid agent containing an oxidizer, which is better than the blue in terms of killing efficiency.
On the battlefield in the Middle East, thermobaric bombs are one of the most terrifying nightmares for terrorists entrenched in urban ruins and solid fortifications: When fighting street fighting, facing terrorists guarding buildings, ordinary rockets It often takes dozens of rounds to defeat the target, and it is easy for the Air Force to carry out carpet bombing and accidentally injure one's own people. However, even the smallest individual thermobaric bomb can demolish a villa with just one shot!
At this moment, the thermobaric bomb dropped by the floating battleship "Xiangrui" into the city of Italica was a super big thing weighing eight tons. Just throw one and you can easily destroy all humans, animals, technical equipment or lightly armored targets covering an area of six football fields... There is a serious excess of firepower, okay?
In short, under the guidance of laser, an eight-ton thermobaric bomb took the lead and accurately hit the lord's palace in Italica where Emperor Sochar was staying. The next moment, red light and death enveloped several streets. The blazing flames and raging shock waves caused the living people on the ground to not even have time to scream out, and they had already turned into charcoal and meat residue. A mushroom cloud shining with dazzling red light slowly rose from the ground... The Imperial officers and soldiers near the center of the explosion were torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, and even the pieces of broken limbs were instantly burned by the high heat of the thermobaric bombs. ash.
Immediately afterwards, starting with the detonation of this thermobaric bomb, more thermobaric bombs of different types fell from the cabin of the "Xiangrui" above the clouds like a goddess scattering flowers, and in the blink of an eye, Yi's body under the night sky was blown away. The city of Tarica was illuminated by fire as bright as day. Death flames and violent shock waves surged through every street and alley, with mutilated limbs and charred debris flying together. Sweeping under the thermobaric layer of several thousand degrees Celsius, all the soldiers who had no time to dodge were swept away. , eyes burst out and internal organs ruptured! Even those soldiers who stayed in the cellar and were lucky enough to escape the flames soon found themselves in trouble because their oxygen was depleted by the thermobaric bombs. They grabbed their own throats and suffocated to death!
Looking down from the air, the city of Italica, surrounded by thick walls, looked like a volcano erupting for a moment! If during the bombing of Tokyo during World War II, survivors could still be seen running in embarrassment under the bright flames, then in the city of Italica after being bombed by heavy thermobaric bombs, in addition to the collapse of Buildings and blazing mushroom clouds of flames left only a terrifying silence - because the oxygen on the surface had been instantly burned out by the thermobaric bombs, even if the living people within the killing range were lucky enough to escape the flames and shock waves, they were doomed. Die from suffocation!
Even modern terrorists who have experienced hundreds of battles have no choice but to wait for death when faced with such a simple and crude mass murder weapon. But here and now, these indigenous soldiers from the Cold War Era, who had no idea about firearms, went to another world without even having time to react. In addition, the flaming mushroom clouds that rose from the city of Italica reached a height of hundreds of meters in the night sky, and they came one after another, one after another, reflecting the night sky as brightly as the sunset. Against the background of the dark night and the surrounding plain terrain, at least humans within a radius of nearly a hundred miles clearly witnessed this tragic destruction like divine punishment...
