Looking at the huge monster in front of him, Mang Gurtai quickly calmed down.
He immediately gave the order to the messenger next to him to prepare the rocket.
Yes, rockets, this was the first attack method he thought of.
For such a big monster, it is covered in flesh.
The meat can be burned.
One of his favorite things in the past was to drive the Han slaves into the house, light a fire, and burn them together. Then, listening to their roars of pain, he drank wine and ate meat.
This is one of his favorite things to do, burning those Han people alive.
Doing this has many advantages. It can save knives, bows and arrows, and save energy. It can also avoid the plague after burning it with fire. It serves multiple purposes.
But in many cases, people who are burned will struggle violently and try their best to escape, so it is a lot of trouble to tie them up with ropes in advance, and setting a fire can easily affect yourself.
So there are not many people who can do this kind of thing. They usually kill people before burning them.
Soon the rocket was ready.
Someone lit the rocket with a fire stick, aimed at the monster and prepared to release the arrow.
Following Mang Gurtai's order, hundreds of rockets shot at the big ship monster.
The big ship-like monster just shook its body. There were countless snakes on it, some were shaking, some were vibrating consciously, and some were dancing randomly.
Some of the rockets were knocked down, and more hit it.
However, before they could be happy, they saw a lot of mucus coming out of the big ship monster's skin, and they put out the rockets directly.
Didn't cause any flames at all.
At this moment, Gushan, who was nearby, said to Mang Gurtai: "Master Beile, we should give it the fierce fire oil of Han dog first."
"I remember Han dog People defend the city and always use strong fire oil. Once it burns on us, it is difficult to extinguish it even if it is rolled into the earth. As for water, it is impossible."
"First use strong fire oil to pour the monster, and then use it again. Let’s set fire to it, otherwise the monster will always produce mucus and we won’t be able to light it up. However, even if the fire oil is poured with water, it will still burn.”
"Very good, Shan Yan, you immediately bring someone to find fierce fire oil for me." Mang Gurtai was overjoyed and immediately ordered.
They have already robbed many cities, and there must be fierce fire oil. It just depends on whether the baggage team has collected it.
After all, fierce fire oil has long been used in city defense.
Fuel is still a relatively precious material, so Gushan thinks it should be collected.
Especially oil.
And this monster didn't seem to care about them or these little bugs.
Although they suffered an attack, they still did not launch any attack on them.
Of course, the main reason is that they are all long-range shooters, and some snake heads on the monster have begun to look around for targets to attack it.
But those snake heads, plus the snake body, are only seven or eight meters long at most.
And the distance they shot at was between 110 and 120 meters.
Therefore they were not found.
No one dares to get too close to these monsters, even if they are ferocious, savage and powerful Jurchens.
One day later, Mang Gurtai waited until enough kerosene arrived.
That Gushan brought hundreds of horses, each with two barrels.
Each wooden barrel is filled with black and pungent fire oil.
There should have been more, but the most were during the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
However, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the development of firearms, this fierce fire and oil warfare method declined due to its many flaws and high mining and transportation costs.
After all, there was a lack of oil producing areas in ancient times, and it was far less easy to prepare than black gunpowder.
Fortunately, I still found some. After all, this is the land of Gyeonggi.
After that, Mang Gurtai began to order people to throw kerosene forward.
Each person uses an earthenware jar, fills it with kerosene from a wooden barrel, and then throws it out.
It’s just that the fire oil cans are used to defend the city, which means they are thrown from top to bottom.
Throwing it on the flat ground can't throw it very far. Judging from their strength, if they can throw it twenty-seven or eight meters, they are very powerful.
Obviously this distance is very dangerous.
Because the snakes on the big ship monster are usually seven or eight meters long.
And some of them are particularly long, more than ten meters long.
This also corresponds to the maximum length of the snake.
The key is that some of them can spray venom!
This is scary.
Body length + poison spray, this can keep the thrower within the attack range.
Mang Gu discovered a problem.
Some snakes are particularly clever and quick to respond.
They attack quickly.
Some soldiers did not know that they could also spray, so they ventured into the twenty-meter range.
Then a ball of venom came down, and the whole person smoked on the spot, feeling as painful as a prisoner screaming in prison.
He also noticed that many of the rockets just now were shot down by those flexible poisonous snakes and did not hit the opponent.
However, most venomous snakes are relatively clumsy, as if they don't know how to fight back flexibly.
Same as ordinary venomous snakes.
Looks very fierce, but in fact the reaction is very slow.
They are all blind. As long as they get started quietly and move slowly, they can catch the snake's head in one go.
He also caught many snakes in the mountains and forests.
There are not many venomous snakes in Liaodong. The main species is the pit viper, which is also a highly venomous snake.
But they are basically not afraid.
Then Manggu saw this and ordered: "Let them all withdraw first, and then go find the catapult immediately."
"Yes, master."
Several minions left together.
Soon they hired craftsmen to remove the wood from houses in nearby cities.
Shudderingly, I went to build a catapult.
The craftsmen also wanted to escape, but although the big ship monster was scary, it was not as scary as the Donglu.
After all, big ship monsters usually only eat dead people, unless you want to attack it.
Donglu is stronger than the devil.
It seems like two days have passed quickly.
Manggu was just glad that they had killed enough people before, and at least 20,000 to 30,000 people were killed in the city.
Enough to feed the big ship monster for seventeen or eight days.
The big ship monster, just like the animals that eat grass, allowed them to make traps and prepare for attacks, but still ignored them.
He didn't take the initiative to attack at all, and was still looking for those corpses instinctively.
"He is indeed a beast and should be stepped on!" Mang Gu said excitedly.
Because he saw hope of defeating this monster.
No matter how big or powerful it is, so what?
Without brains and fighting instincts, death is inevitable!
Just like the Ming Dynasty, it is big and useless, and will only be peeled and chopped by their capable Jurchens, and chopped down bit by bit.
I saw the big ship monster eating corpses one after another.
It is eating desperately.
After eating one place, it slowly moves to the next place, at half the speed of ordinary people walking.
Unless you are too scared to run, you can definitely escape.
And Manggu can also see it when eating, and the Jurchens who are watching can see that it is still growing.
It just grows very slowly.
In the past few days, it has probably been a little bit higher.
But they don’t know how terrifying it actually is for such a behemoth to grow even just a little bit.
Because it means overcoming huge gravity.
Ordinarily, with such a size, it would have been crushed by its own weight.
Unless there are a lot of bones and they are titanium alloy bones, no, they should be Gundamium alloy.
Only in this way can the body of Gundam grow. This behemoth, still dismissive of those small bugs, is like an elephant eating grass.
After those mosquitoes pounced on it, it just flicked its tail and continued to eat grass. Unless the mosquitoes bit it and made it irritated, it would jump into the water or the muddy pond. Go clean it up.
And now it's just quietly eating those corpses.
According to Mang Gu's observation, this big ship monster can eat hundreds of corpses every hour.
Twenty thousand, which is 200 hours.
Of course it will also rest.
It does not eat all the time, so within a month, it will not leave the city.
A few days later, the catapult was finally ready.
About 120 catapults were built.
This time, of course, Manggu was not in vain.
He already felt that he had not enough people to guide him.
He has ordered to continue to send more manpower.
He ordered his direct troops to send another 2,000 cavalry.
Because only the cavalry can arrive quickly, another 8,000 infantry and 30,000 young men are required to carry the baggage and come slowly.
He felt that this might be a long-term battle, and it was not something he could kill with just a bow and arrow or chopping, as he thought at first.
Of course he didn’t know that he actually had this opportunity.
It’s just that those frightened evil spirits lost their lives twice in a row.
But now, if I think about killing him with a few swords, that is obviously impossible.
And this monster is not afraid, it has no morale.
If you want to defeat it, you must completely burn the monster before it can be killed.
Now, the catapult has been built and 2,000 cavalry have arrived. Now he has 3,400 elite soldiers in his hands.
These soldiers are enough to defeat 30,000 to 50,000 Ming troops.
But now, it is just used to deal with a monster as big as a sea ship.
In fact, Mang Gurtai has realized that morale is declining.
Jurchens are very superstitious.
The Han people are also very superstitious about wrapping.
Some of them secretly worshiped this monster.
This made Mang Gurtai very angry.
For this reason, he ordered Bai Jia to behead those who worshiped the monster.
Some people are puzzled: "This monster didn't attack us, why do we have to kill it?"
"Yes, it is still on Akito's territory, let it be here Just stay there. "
How do they know that their master's real intention is to defeat the monster and see if it can be tamed.
If it cannot be tamed, then kill.
Wouldn’t it be troublesome if Akito found a way to tame it?
This is what the superior thinks: This is a variable. As long as it exists, it will be a variable. I had an advantage before without it. Now that it is added, it will be a lot of trouble. I will get rid of it. Return to the previous situation.
After Mang Gurtai killed the people and established his authority, he ordered the soldiers to start loading catapults.
These days, they have collected more pyrotechnics from nearby cities.
Fire oil, rapeseed oil, and even coal and dry firewood were collected in large quantities.
But the most powerful thing is of course the various greases.
Now everything is ready.
After Mang Gurtai waited for the soldiers to prepare the catapult, he began to order the catapult.
The first batch of fire oil cans were thrown upward.
And some of the poisonous snakes among those big ship monsters seemed to be aware of the great danger.
They started swinging wildly.
More than 20 venomous snakes were most active, knocking out the fire oil jars one after another.
After being knocked down, the can fell to the ground and shattered. After splashing, there was still a lot of fire oil splashing on the big ship monster's body.
But those are still a minority after all.
More cans of fierce fire oil fell on the big ship monster.
But its body is so flexible that it felt like it was hit on quilts and sand, but the jar was not damaged!
Mang Gurtai looked very ugly when he saw this.
Fortunately, the jar fell to the ground and shattered, forming a small puddle.
And that big ship monster, if it was still a human, should escape immediately.
That kerosene is wasted.
But it didn't escape and was still eating the corpse nearby.
It’s like not seeing it.
This made Mang Gurtai feel relieved.
His catapult aims and shoots around, don’t shoot at one side.
Try to cover all sides of the big ship monster with fire oil.
However, he soon discovered that on the body of the big ship monster, there was a thick and flexible green snake covered with mucus.
It is the most cunning and brave among them. It can knock down two or three fire oil tanks every time it attacks.
And it seems to be able to control the venomous snakes around it, at least more than 20 of them, acting in concert with him.
Mang Gurtai was worried that this poisonous snake might also be a war commander.
He has rich battlefield experience, and he can see the commanding ability of that poisonous snake at a glance.
It can only control 20 nearby venomous snakes now, but in the future it may be able to control a large area of venomous snakes.
In this case, the opponent will become stronger and stronger.
Maybe one day, this poisonous snake will be able to control this big ship monster.
He thought of a very wrong metaphor. These poisonous snakes are like parasites on Ming Dynasty. When they become stronger, they can replace them.
Could those venomous snakes be like this too?
This gave him a greater sense of urgency about his action.
"It is necessary for me to do this, and it is definitely not out of thin air."
He persuaded himself this way.
After all, it is also a risk to take more than 3,000 elite Jurchens and Han Eight Banners to fight in one go.
He watched carefully. As the catapult was thrown, a large oil puddle slowly appeared under the big ship monster.
And it seems to be moving faster.
In addition, those poisonous snakes moved quickly, and they began to form a dense forest of guns.
Yes, it’s the forest of guns.
And it's bobbing up and down.
This kind of gun forest can block some long-range attacks.
The premise is that the gunman's morale cannot drop, and he cannot choose to retreat because many people are injured.
And now these poisonous snakes have no morale.
Thinking of this, Mang Gurtai immediately ordered: "Use a strong bow and heavy arrows to shoot those poisonous snakes! They are the smartest ones."
In fact, he did not need to say it, his subordinates also Will choose the most suitable target, those poisonous snakes who knock down their cans of violent fire oil.
Soon, heavy arrows like small shovels were shot out fifty steps away.
Every arrow is very accurate.
One arrow can kill a poisonous snake!
Some of them keep ejaculating and will penetrate the other person's body.
After all, flesh and blood, under the control of physical laws, cannot stop steel.
It's just that even though their bodies are full of arrows, they are still shaking their defenses to block those thrown objects.
Mang Gurtai couldn't help but be shocked.
If the Ming army had such fighting spirit, it would be impossible for them to win.
This monster is not human.
