Chapter 1278 Yanzhou

Chong Yu slapped the baton to Yanzhou again: "Thousands of cavalry troops, running all night, from Mizhi to Yan'an Mansion, it is only a three-day journey. ”

"There is now only Shen Kuo's 4,000 state army guarding, and the combat power is vulnerable, as long as our army's baggage in Yan'an is burned, the East Road and Middle Road armies will be abandoned without a fight, even if thousands of horsemen are all killed, it is enough to cover his crime of losing 90,000 troops!"

Zhang Qi nodded: "That's the time, so Liang Yi gritted his teeth and insisted, just to wait for Liang Yongneng to succeed and fight back from Youzhou!" ”

Gao Zunyu was also frightened: "Liu Changzuo, immediately order the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and rush to Yan'an Mansion!" In any case, the baggage of Yan'an Mansion must be saved! ”

"The last general obeys!" Liu Changzuo also realized the seriousness of the situation, grabbed his leather helmet and rushed out of the tent.

Su You's heart was beating wildly, this Nima, the situation is obviously very good, why did it suddenly become a crisis?

Seeing Su You's pale face, Zhang Qi stretched out his hand and patted his arm: "Mingrun don't worry, things may not happen, since we have found a loophole, plug it." ”

"Even if he is attacked by Liang Yongneng, Shen Cunzhong has at least one big city to guard, and with his ability to defend the city, he can still rest assured that he can defend the city."

Su You was worried: "Even if the periphery is ransacked by Liang Yongneng, the loss will be unbearable, and now the materials in Yan'an Mansion are not what can be stacked in a city......"

"Send a telegram to Shen Kuo, ask him to organize a defense immediately, and tell him that Liu Changzuo will rush to help!"

……

In the North Warehouse Camp of Yan'an Prefecture, Shen Kuo is counting inventory.

Today, 100,000 people's military rations will be transported to Qingjian City, and from there they will be transferred to the Suide Army, so that they can be transferred to Yinzhou.

Hearing that Seed Wulang defeated Liang Yongneng, Yan'an Mansion is also a celebration, this is the base camp of the seed family, Li Da, who is responsible for the transportation, came over happily: "After a little Xianggong, the villagers of Guojia Village sent three hundred catties of pork legs, and asked us to send them to Xiazhou together to reward the children!" ”

Shen Kuo couldn't cry or laugh: "You come to carry it?" The weight ratio is carefully calculated, if you carry it, then I have no opinion. ”

"Whew!" Li Da said: "How can you make room for 100,000 people and a half month's rations, right?" Why can't you put down 300 catties? ”

After speaking, he did work for Shen Kuo: "Isn't this the second egg of the Zhengjia family in Guojia Village who became a kind of captain's personal soldier, as soon as his father was happy, he made dozens of pork legs to work in the army." By the way, in the past, the rations for 100,000 people and a half months were obviously more than now, but now there are only 300 cars? ”

"There's really no land, or I'll lose the roof of the car in a while." Shen Kuo made concessions: "Hehehe, in the past, the military rations were millet and salted vegetables, sometimes there were no salted vegetables, but now they are all oily and watery salted meat, canned food, sausages, and flour." ”

"A canned food mixed with a pound of rice, or a few steamed buns, plus some vegetables, tea, dried fruits, and candy. Guogong said that this is called a balanced diet. It's far more effective than three catties of rice in the past! ”

"And this car, the four-wheeled van can pull a thousand pounds at a time, and the lightness is only as light as the light car in the past, this is the road...... It's a headache to talk about! ”

As soon as the two chatted here, there was a horse in front of them, led by a middle-aged man who shouted: "Jingluo, Xia Ren!" Nearly 10,000 Xia people are coming to attack! ”

Shen Kuo was shocked: "Xia people?!" How did they get here? ”

The person who came was Jiao Siyao, another ruler in Yanzhou: "Ouch, you don't care how they came here for now!" There are always flaws in the front, but I don't think these Xia people are a regular army, their clothes and armor are all in order, and their weapons don't seem to be complete. ”

Shen Kuo suddenly thought of something: "What about their mounts?" ”

Jiao Siyao thought about it for a moment: "Mount? They all seem to be good horses, especially with a white horse in the middle, which is more than five feet tall at the shoulders! ”

"How far is it from Yanzhou?"

"There are still fifty miles away from Jinming Village!"

Li Da said: "The thieves are powerful, why don't you restrain the subordinates and enter the city to defend the palace?" ”

"It's too late, many supplies are still outside the city, and they can't fall into the hands of the enemy." Shen Kuo shook his head: "If my expectations are correct, this is the remnant of Liang Yongneng who forcibly crossed the Wuding River!" ”

At this time, a soldier from the telegraph class in the city also ran out with a telegram clip: "Bachelor of Economic Strategy, Ningxia City Emergency Telegram!" ”

Shen Kuo took the telegram, looked at it with a suspicious expression, handed it to the two governors, and then paced back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly stood still: "Li Da, you take three hundred vans to march in noisily, and spread news along the way, saying that you are carrying rations for 100,000 people and are going to the security army to deliver them." How many people...... One thousand and five for you! ”

After reading the telegram, Li Dacai hurriedly said: "I have weak township troops under my hands, but it is Liang Yongneng who has to deal with them!" ”

Shen Kuo's expression calmed down: "It's okay, the current Liang Yongneng is just a bird with a frightened bow, he has suffered a big loss from the Tai Lieutenant!" Well, I want to think about it...... You declare that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the army is behind. ”

"Time is urgent, so take this loaded 300 cart! Remember to play Hachiro's banner! ”

Li Da couldn't help but lose his color: "With so much baggage, isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" Cheapened the enemy for nothing? ”

Shen Kuo said: "Now there is no other way but to deceive him, and when you see the Xia people, you will train on the main road under Jinmingzhai and block his way." ”

After speaking, he arranged for Jiao Siyao: "You take the remaining 2,500 state troops in Yanzhou, hurry up to Jinming Village to ambush, and when the Xia people are halfway forward, they will rush down from the village with great fanfare!" Make a gesture of inviting Xia Ren with Li Da! ”

"But ......" Jiao Siyao was stupid: "With great fanfare, there must be flags and drums!" ”

Li Da said: "There must also be weapons!" ”

"Ahh Such a big team, are you blind?! Wait, wait, wait......"

Shen Kuo climbed to the side of a van, opened the door, and threw down the package on it: "Let the van army all change their clothes!" Red robes, belts, leather boots, leather helmets! ”

Li Da was stupid: "This ...... This is Gorou's quartermaster, whoever dares to move will be beheaded by Gorou! ”

"Now that my life is almost unsaved, I still have to worry about being beheaded?! We're just going to disguise ourselves as a regular army! Shen Kuo scolded: "And! Tie a knot with one sleeve of the suit, and then put the wooden pole into it, isn't it a red flag?! Lao Jiao, the flag is also ready for you! ”

Standing on the van, Shen Kuo saw the continuous autumn grass outside the city, and suddenly an idea came to him, jumping down from the van: "Send someone immediately to collect bottles and cans from all over the city!" I'm going to configure the fierce fire oil, hurry up! ”

Yanzhou has a lot of oil, the first generation of fierce fire oil is the original oil, Yanzhou area, "all dig the ground to make a big pool, vertical and horizontal, in order to store fierce fire oil", used to defend against the harassment of foreign invaders.

Later, Su You opened the petrochemical technology tree, and petroleum products began to be refined.

Among all the products, the most popular are paraffin wax and kerosene, which are popular in the Great Song Dynasty; Then there is lubricating oil and petroleum jelly, which are used in machinery and medicine, cosmetics respectively; The remaining asphalt is used for paving, moisture-proofing, waterproofing; Diesel fuel is used to prevent insects, insecticides.

The most useless is gasoline, which is volatile, flammable, and extremely unsafe. Sometimes it is used as a detergent by workers to soak in anti-rust liquid, which often causes accidents.

Its greatest function is to pull it to the enemy's pasture and set it on fire.

Shen Kuo is a jack-of-all-trades scientist, and after coming to Yanzhou, he took the initiative to study the "passivation" method of gasoline, with the goal of making gasoline as relatively stable as kerosene.

This thing is waste now, and there are too many of them in the Yanchang oil field to be dispensed with.

Shen Kuo's research on passivators for gasoline is only in several directions - gels, solid powders, and adsorbent substances.

In the end, I don't know if it is the "Molotov cocktail" of later generations, anyway, judging from the effect of Di Yong's Shouhuanzhou and the burning of iron harriers, at least the arson performance is quite good.

This thing was originally Shen Kuo's invention, so it only took half a day for him to lead the workers to get thousands of porcelain pot incendiary bottles out with ease.

On the other hand, the two pirated Yan Yan armies pretended to be by Li Da and Jiao Siyao were also freshly baked.
