232: Chapter 232 The Good Things Zhao Fusu Prepared Have Been Revealed!
"They actually blocked it!"
The White Wolf King's expression was incredibly unsightly.
He had never expected that such a thin protective wall could actually stop so many fire oxen.
"Hehehe, hehehe!"
Tian Ju let out a cold laugh.
He looked at the hundreds of thousands of fire oxen charging onto the Qinglan Grassland.
The fire on most of their tails had already gone out.
Their tempers were no longer as explosive as before.
Now, it was their turn.
His Majesty the Head of State had prepared something good for them.
"Is everyone ready?"
Tian Ju said to the crowd.
After the five thousand cavalrymen were brought to the Qinglan Grassland by Zhao Gang, they were handed over to Tian Ju's management.
Counting the one thousand cavalrymen he originally managed, he had six thousand cavalrymen under his command!
"We are ready."
The six thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison.
On their bodies and hanging from their horses were cloth bags filled with a large number of glass bottles.
This was the good thing Zhao Fusu had prepared for them—Molotov cocktails!
During World War II, these Molotov cocktails were crude weapons used to deal with tanks!
Also known as a Molotov cocktail, it is a weapon composed of a glass bottle and flammable liquid.
It is usually a glass bottle containing flammable liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, or diesel.
The mouth of the bottle is plugged with a cork, and a cloth strip soaked in oil is tied to it as a fuse.
When the fuse at the bottle's mouth is lit and the Molotov cocktail is thrown, the glass bottle shatters upon hitting the target, pouring the flammable liquid onto it. Once ignited by the fire, the vapor of the flammable liquid mixes with the oxygen in the air to form a combustible gas, leading to combustion and explosion.
Due to its simple structure, low cost of raw materials, and great power, Molotov cocktails can often achieve huge results with minimal cost in actual combat.
During World War II, the Polish army used Molotov cocktails to destroy a large number of Soviet tanks and vehicles.
The Soviet Army followed suit and also used Molotov cocktails to attack German tanks during the Soviet-German War.
They once caused heavy damage to the German Army during the street fighting in Stalingrad.
Later, in protests and armed conflicts around the world, Molotov cocktails were also used by some terrorists, protesters, rioters, and street criminals.
Zhao Fusu used these Molotov cocktails to herd the oxen.
He intended to drive these hundreds of thousands of oxen that had charged up back toward the White Wolf King's cavalry.
Zhao Fusu wanted Modun to taste what it felt like to lift a stone only to drop it on his own feet!
"Open the gate!"
The gate was made of concrete; while incredibly sturdy, it was also very heavy, requiring dozens of people working together to open it.
After the gate was opened,
Tian Ju shouted loudly, "Charge out!"
He was the first to charge out.
He looked at the oxen ahead, lit a Molotov cocktail with a fire piston, and smashed it toward the herd.
"Bang!"
When the Molotov cocktail hit an ox, the glass bottle shattered. The cloth strip at the mouth ignited the flammable and explosive mixture of gasoline, alcohol, and diesel inside, causing a large fire to erupt.
"Moo, moo..."
The herd was startled. The oxen set on fire by the Molotov cocktails let out mournful cries and ran away from Tian Ju in fear.
"Get the hell off the Qinglan Grassland!"
Tian Ju lit another Molotov cocktail and threw it toward the herd.
"Bang!"
These oxen ran very fast, and they avoided the Molotov cocktail.
After the Molotov cocktail hit the ground, a raging fire immediately flared up.
When the oxen saw such large flames, they ran even faster.
Behind Tian Ju, a large number of cavalrymen rushed out of the gate. They spread out in a planned manner, flanking the herd so that the oxen could only head down toward the bottom of the Qinglan Grassland.
They took out the Molotov cocktails they were carrying, lit them with fire pistons, and smashed them at the herd.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Amidst the muffled bangs, plumes of fire shot into the sky.
Faced with such terrifying flames, the oxen bolted toward the bottom of the Qinglan Grassland.
Don't be fooled by how heavy and slow oxen look when they walk.
Once they start running, humans cannot catch up.
And now, they were charging down the mountain. With the added force of inertia, they were even faster—even Usain Bolt might not be able to catch them.
Tian Ju led the six thousand cavalrymen, using Molotov cocktails to continuously drive the hundreds of thousands of oxen toward the White Wolf King's cavalry.
"Wait, no!"
Looking at the massive, dark mass of oxen charging toward him, the White Wolf King's hands and feet went cold, and his mind went blank.
eternal blue sky!
How could this be happening!
The White Wolf King never expected the situation to turn so quickly.
Before, he had thought he would be sleeping with the women of the Qinglan Tribe on the Qinglan Grassland by tonight.
He never expected that the protective wall, which clearly looked so thin, could withstand the impact of so many fire oxen without collapsing.
And what kind of weapons are these Qin Army soldiers holding? Those exploding flames are just too terrifying.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat quickly!"
The White Wolf King hastily ordered the troops to fall back.
Damn it, driven by the exploding flames of the Qin Army, hundreds of thousands of panicked oxen were charging toward them like their lives depended on it.
If they didn't retreat, they would be smashed to pieces under the impact of hundreds of thousands of oxen!
The Qin Army was right behind the oxen. If they launched another slaughter, it would be over for them!
"Jia! Jia! Jia!..."
The White Wolf King led the sixty thousand cavalrymen, whipping their horses' rumps hard and speeding forward.
"This!"
Standing on high ground, chiefs like Qing Ying, Chi Yan, Lie Yun, Ling Yu, and Jin Tu looked at each other in dismay.
None of them had expected the situation to change so rapidly.
Earlier, they were still worried about whether the protective wall would be crushed by the million fire oxen.
Now, under the herding of Tian Ju and the six thousand cavalrymen using Molotov cocktails, the million oxen were charging toward the White Wolf King's sixty thousand cavalrymen.
The White Wolf King didn't dare to withstand the impact of the million oxen either, and they were fleeing for their lives.
"What kind of weapon is that!"
Chiefs like Qing Ying, Chi Yan, Lie Yun, and Ling Yu felt their scalps go numb as they watched the exploding Molotov cocktails.
If those Molotov cocktails were thrown at them, their horses would surely riot.
If they were hit, in this deep winter, they were wearing many layers of clothing. If their clothes caught fire, wouldn't they be burned to carbon!
These Molotov cocktails were also provided to Tian Ju and the others by His Majesty the Head of State.
Chiefs like Qing Ying, Chi Yan, Lie Yun, and Ling Yu were incredibly horrified. His Majesty the Head of State was too terrifying.
The things he invented not only played a huge role in daily life but could also exert such terrifying power on the battlefield!
"His Majesty the Head of State!"
"You truly are an unfathomable person!"
Jin Xishan's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration for Zhao Fusu.
His Majesty the Head of State is clearly two or three hundred kilometers away, yet he can control the direction of the war. It's truly breathtaking!
