Chapter 22: The Spreading Flame

Crackle, crackle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the dark night sky, the bright moon hangs high, which is the eternal constant. Regardless of the change of dynasties, the mountains and rivers are reversed, and what will not change is always this magnificent and mysterious sky.

Near the Python Forest, the secluded darkness is illuminated by countless firelights. The unrestrained red flames and the golden fire cavalry fused together, and they saw off the robe with a solemn expression.

If there is no smell of fire oil slowly wafting at the entrance of the Python and Tiger Forest, Ying Zheng is already a little tired of the Mo family's organ city that has not been able to attack for a long time.

Therefore, after receiving the information from Meng Tian about the annihilation of the ironclad soldiers, the rebellion of the quicksand, and the nowhere of the public defeat, he gave up the plan to take the opportunity to wipe out the remnants of the six countries, and decided to set fire to the mountain, turning the Mo family who dared to brush the tiger's whiskers into ashes.

"Old Qin!"

Sonorous, in this solemn atmosphere, Meng Tian pulled out the broad-bladed sword at his waist and pointed obliquely at the sky. Behind him, the golden fire cavalry with torches shouted at the same time.

"Defend Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together, go to Lao Qin, restore my rivers and mountains. Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce! There is Daqin in the west, such as the sun rising, a hundred years of national hatred, and the vicissitudes of life! The world is in turmoil, how can Corning! Qin has a sharp soldier, who competes with it! ”

"Ignition!"

Bang bang one torch after another was thrown on the bodies of the Qin soldiers who were killed in battle filled with fire oil. Their last wishes and hatred will then turn into a monstrous flame, rising along this python forest, burning everything and devouring everything.

The golden fire cavalry watched the flames soar into the sky, and the fierce tigers of the lower mountains danced wildly like dragons out of the sea and rushed into the distant night.

The oil-stained bushes and trees burned quickly, and in a few breaths, the tree, which needed to be hugged by several people, turned into a huge torch. The dry, withered bark of the tree turned to char in the flames, and the moisture in the green leaves came into contact with the flames and billowing smoke.

The amount of fire oil that Meng Tian had in his hand was not much, and it was evenly sprinkled in a small area. When the oil runs out, the powerful fires in the forest are irreversible. Starting from the edge of the Python Forest, the flames encroached on the inner enclosure like advancing soldiers.

Countless traps are rendered useless by the flames, or those targeting air are triggered prematurely. Leaving a group of soldiers to patrol and guard, Meng Tian led the crowd back to the camp that had been set up in the rear.

Of course, this sky-high fire did not escape the eyes of the Mo family disciples, and it was reported as soon as possible. So, the crowd who had just fallen asleep for not long gathered urgently.

"The hateful Qin army actually set fire to the mountain!"

Under Duanmu Rong's treatment, the sledgehammer that had regained its mobility could be described as shocked and angry. He slammed his fist into the stone table with a loud bang, and the entire conference room seemed to tremble.

"Is the fire so big that it can be extinguished?"

Compared with the sledgehammer to vent his emotions, the first thing that came to mind was how to solve the problem. However, hearing his question, the Mo family disciples who came to report shook their heads.

"The fire is so fierce that a large area has been engulfed in flames, and it is extremely difficult to extinguish even if it rains from the sky."

"What's more, Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry will definitely not sit idly by and watch us put out the fire. It's not easy to do things. ”

The Snow Maiden groaned, clasping her hands on her chest, her face showing helplessness, and the rest of the Mo family leaders did the same.

"Regarding this matter, I also ask Luo Xing's seniors to give advice."

Leaning on the stone bench, Gao gradually left Luo Xing's hand. When there is no solution to the problem, the old man should listen to his opinion.

"It's just a fire, it's not a big deal. If Mo Zhai was still there, he would have jumped to his feet in anger when he saw your sad face. ”

was reprimanded by Luo Xing for not giving face at all, and the leaders of the Mo family looked ashamed. Chilian on the side stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and snickered in front of the snow girl, who was extremely unfriendly when he met her.

The two women looked at each other, as if two lightning bolts collided together, drawing countless sparks. Behind them, Bai Feng and Gao gradually separated from each other with the same cold gaze.

Ignoring the disagreement between these people, Luo Xing continued.

"First of all, there is no way to do the traps that have been burned. Let the disciples of the Mo family go out and cut down all the trees that are about 100 meters away from the fire to make a separation zone of about three zhang. Sprinkle water in the middle to prevent the fire from spreading further. ”

Secondly, Gao Yanli and Xue Nu took the Mo family disciples out on patrol. Although there is a fire blocking, the Golden Fire Cavalry may just take this opportunity to sneak attack, and they need to be strictly guarded. ”

"Yes!"

Then, Luo Xing turned his gaze to the quicksand.

"Wei Zhuang, let the Black Qilin try to see if it can infiltrate the Golden Fire Cavalry. This is an army that has been fighting in Mobei all year round, we don't know much about it, and we urgently need their intelligence. ”

"Yes, Patriarch."

After Wei Zhuang responded, he nodded at the black unicorn, and then, the enigmatic figure who had been hiding under the black cloak walked out of the door of the conference room and turned into a cloud of black mist and rushed towards the Python Tiger Forest.

"How's the gunpowder made?"

Telling the matter to continue, taking this opportunity, Luo Xing then asked about gunpowder.

Duanmu Rong, who was in charge of managing this matter, raised her head and replied respectfully to him.

"According to the ancestor's secret recipe, we have made about twenty catties of gunpowder. After the disciples become proficient, the daily output can also be increased. ”

"It's just that there aren't many raw materials used to make gunpowder in the city. Except for the part that must be retained, all the other materials can only be made at most less than 200 catties. ”

"Yes, for gunpowder, raw materials are a big problem."

Charcoal is abundant in the city, and it is also the most readily available raw material. Because there is an extinct volcano underneath, the Mo family has a lot of sulfur.

The crux of the matter lies in saltpeter.

In this era, the saltpeter ice-making method has not yet been discovered, and it is mainly used as medicine. It is mainly used to treat the accumulation of heat in the five internal organs, the distension and closure of the stomach, the cleansing and accumulation of food, the transformation of the old and the new, and the removal of evil spirits.

Therefore, although the medical department of the Mo family has prepared a batch of saltpeter, the quantity is not much. Now, the Qin army has blocked the road to the Mojia organ city, and the comprador has become a problem.

Fortunately, this matter is not without a solution.

"Bai Feng, this matter will be handed over to you."

With his hands on his chest, Bai Feng, who was basically in this posture all day long, looked at Luo Xing puzzled. What is gunpowder, some kind of mechanism newly created by the Mo family?

"Your white bird has the advantage of the sky and is huge. It's hard to make a few more trips and buy as much saltpeter as you can. ”

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know what the significance of this move was, Bai Feng was not a particularly curious person. Back then, under Ji Wuye's hands, the guys who were too curious were all dead.

Since Luo Xing has an order, then he will do what he is instructed to do, and don't ask more questions if he shouldn't ask.
