Chapter 233: Paralysis of the Entire Battlefield
The collection has finally exceeded 10,000, and I will add more today.
The soldiers looked at these light green shells, which looked very similar to acid shells, but were obviously different. Just looking at these shells, the soldiers always felt a little unreliable: "Can this thing really be used?"
The captain said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you still believe in the Lord? Without the Lord, would there be our Giant Wood City? Would we have a good life? When has the Lord ever made a mistake?"
The soldier just now saw the people around him glaring at him, and hurriedly said loudly: "Of course I believe in the Lord, but the problem is, when the Lord sent these shells, didn't he also say that the effects of these things were uncertain? I believe that the Lord said that the effect of these things is uncertain, so I have doubts."
Hearing this, many soldiers around who were originally quite confident suddenly lost confidence.
"Yes, Captain. Is this thing really useful? The Lord said he's not sure."
"Humph, the Lord just said he's not sure, but he didn't say it's useless. Who knows how useful it is? Isn't this a good opportunity for an experiment? Besides, aren't there other artillery battalions preparing acid bombs and kerosene bombs?"
"Think about it. As long as we succeed this time, as the first team to use poison shells, how much face and honor it will be. Don't you think about it?"
"Captain, this kind of shell seems to be called beetle poison shells. It's specifically used against beetles, not poison shells."
"It's time, and you're still talking back. Don't you see the beetles are coming? Hit them hard."
At the captain's command, everyone had to put the shells into the pneumatic cannon. After replacing the shells, they aimed a little and fired directly. Anyway, the Lord said that this thing doesn't need to be aimed too much.
The shells were launched into the air, and the sound of the liquid shaking inside seemed to be audible. Everyone focused their attention on these shells. Watching the shells flying through the air, and then falling from the sky, hitting the middle of the beetle team. With a "bang", the shells broke, and a large amount of liquid splashed out, looking like an acid bomb.
But the next moment, everyone was stunned, because they found that these liquids did not rely on splashing and attachment to kill like acid bombs, and those liquids actually vaporized instantly after encountering the air.
The green liquid turned into green poisonous fog, and one shell covered a large area.
"What a large coverage area, it seems that the previous calculation was wrong, and I have to re-study the use of this kind of shells in the future." The bald old man continued to record quickly in the notebook, which has become a habit.
"Look, sir, those beetles seem to be a little bit wrong." A soldier saw the weirdness at a glance. Speaking of which, these thick fogs have no effect on beetles at all.
In addition to relying on their eyes to see, beetles also rely on the antennae on their heads to detect, even if there is thick fog, it has no effect on beetles. The beetles felt that they were not attacked, so they continued to move forward, and the formation did not change at all. In other words, beetles don't have a formation, they just run forward.
However, the beetles that came out of the thick fog soon made people find something wrong. This time, the beetles' speed was actually getting slower and slower. Why can we see that? It's because compared with other beetles around, they were actually caught up.
You know, beetles are not humans. Humans can be sneaky, but beetles can't. When these beetles run forward together, they will only move forward at full speed, and the speed is basically the same, not too fast or too slow.
However, now that the beetles have passed through the poisonous fog, their speed has obviously slowed down, which shows that the previous poisonous fog was useful. "Pass the order down, continue to attack, I want to see the actual effect."
The bald father looked nervous. Whether the effect of the poisonous fog is only the ability to slow down, or whether there are other abilities that he doesn't know about, the difference is very large. This means that this kind of shell is useful or not. If it can only slow down, it is useless. Beetles are not creatures that can win by relying on speed.
But if there are other effects, it will be different. You know, this is the venom specially invented by Chi Nan for insects. Not only the bald old man, but also the generals of other armies were very nervous.
"If this kind of shell can effectively kill beetles, then our Giant Wood City will never be threatened by beetles again." A man who looked like an officer stared at the front, afraid of missing any details.
After receiving the order, the beetle poison bombs in the back were continuously fired, and half of the shells accumulated during this period were fired at once. All the beetles were covered with toxins.
"Look, the beetles in front are getting slower and slower." A soldier pointed to the front and said.
At this time, even they could see it clearly. Those beetles were half as slow as before, and they were still slowing down, slower and slower, and this speed was getting faster and faster.
"One hundred meters?" The bald old man's eyes lit up, because the beetle in the front, after continuing to move forward a distance of one hundred meters, actually stopped on the ground and did not move. He did not believe that the beetle would stop to rest. This means that the time it takes for the beetle to walk a hundred meters is the time it takes for the toxin to fully take effect. Those who are closer to the shells cannot run such a distance.
After waiting for a while, all the beetles stopped where they were, and many of them didn't even move.
"Who's going to see what's going on with those beetles?" The bald old man said to the people around him. The distance was too far now and he couldn't see clearly. The effect of the beetle poison bomb was unimaginable, but the situation was too weird.
"I'll go." A soldier jumped out without thinking. The people around him who were a beat slower were immediately annoyed. Although it was dangerous, it was also an opportunity. Once you grab it, you can fly like a locust in the future.
"Okay, you go and take a look. Don't open the city gate, go down from above." The hanging basket that had been prepared long ago put the soldier down. As soon as the soldier landed, he ran forward carefully. He didn't bring any equipment with him. This was also to be able to escape quickly and reduce his own weight. He didn't go to fight, but to observe.
Walking in front of the beetle, the soldier picked up a stick and poked it carefully. The beetle moved instinctively and wanted to attack. But just like that, the beetle stopped again and wouldn't move.
Seeing the beetle like this, the soldier's burden became heavier, and he kept testing it back and forth, one by one. In the end, he even patted a beetle on the head with his hand.
