  • 早期热兵器指的是在十六世纪中期前的战争中,依靠热量或火焰来杀伤敌方士兵、破坏要塞和居民区的武器设备。 早期的战争,尤其是攻城战和海战中,频繁出现投掷可燃物体的情景,一些物体在烧热后可让敌军因热量或火焰而受到伤害;另一些种类则能靠化学反应造成灼伤或破坏。这些兵器有的可单人使用,有的必须借助机械的力量。 其中最简单也最常见的要数开水与灼热的沙子,可用来向敌人倾倒,其他作用相似的物质还有烧热的沥青、石油、树脂、动物油脂以及类似的混合物。燃烧产生的烟也可用来驱走敌军,或引起对方的混乱。石灰和硫磺等的烟尘具有毒性,还可让人失明。 火攻兵器可用来烧焦敌人的建筑和土地,也可用于杀伤战斗人员,有时候能达到相当大的使用规模。城镇村庄的大片土地常因为所谓的而被毁掉。可燃的液体混合物,如以石油为主要成分的希腊火,可用攻城机械来投掷,也能靠虹吸管喷射。有时浸过石油或硫磺水的东西也会在点燃后用于投掷敌人,还可以绑在长矛、箭杆上靠人力或机械力投出。一些攻城战术,如地道之类,经常都要靠可燃物和火焰来使城墙或建筑物倒塌。 火药发明之后,火攻武器开始变得复杂,最终出现了火炮和其他的火器。但一些早期热兵器仍继续发展,若干现代兵器,如凝固汽油弹、火焰喷射器、还有其他一些爆炸物都与早期的热兵器有着不浅的渊源。纵火之类的战术在现代的战略轰炸中仍有体现。 (zh)

  • Le armi termiche antiche sono tutti quegli strumenti o sostanze utilizzate in guerra durante l'antichità e il medioevo (circa VIII secolo a.C.-XVI secolo d.C.) che usavano il calore o il fuoco per distruggere o danneggiare il personale nemico, le sue fortificazioni e i suoi territori. (it)
