Chapter 99: Fire Oil
From Wang Er Mazi's description, Xia Yu has already guessed that this is oil, which was also called fire oil in ancient times.
"Of course it's burning." Xia Yu said lazily.
Immediately, he came up with a brilliant idea, the density of oil is smaller than water, if it is sprinkled on the Tongji Canal and then lit a fire, the oil will inevitably burn the ship transporting grain and grass, which is undoubtedly worse for Yuwen Chengdu.
"Let's go, take me to see it!"
Wang Er Mazi nodded in agreement, and was about to get on the horse, Xia Yu said: "Leave your horse here, we will ride a horse together." ”
couldn't help but say, pulled Wang Er Mazi to ride on the chasing wind and ran towards the village.
They didn't notice that not far away, there was a man looking at them, with a cold light in his eyes.
This person is Tian Chong, who has a relationship with Wang Er Mazi.
Wang Er Mazi sat on the back of Chasing Fenghuang, and then realized what it means to "this is the feeling of flying".
Chasing the wind Huang ran up, there were absolutely no bumps, and in less than half an hour, he came to the village.
When the people in the village saw Xia Yu and knew that he was the benefactor of the village, they smiled happily.
Under the leadership of Wang Er Mazi, Xia Yu soon came to the well that had been sealed.
After the stone on the manhole cover was removed, Xia Yu saw that the oil was spewing out, and the oil storage was very large, he was very happy, borrowed a bucket, filled most of the barrel of oil, and let Chasing Feng Huang return to the army of King Qin first.
At the kind invitation of Wang Er Mazi, Xia Yu was taken to the house, and all the people in the village gathered together, insisting that Xia Yu eat before leaving.
This time, Xia Yu didn't see sand in the rice porridge, and he thought that the food was guaranteed.
It just so happened that Xia Yu had something to say, and said to Wang Er Mazi: "You and Jiang Dapang and the people in the village should move quickly, don't stay here for long." You shouldn't have come to our barracks. ”
Wang Er Mazi said: "It's not as serious as Engong, right?" ”
Xia Yu said: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" If you really have to be discovered by Li Jiajun, I'm afraid they will be unfavorable to you! ”
When the people in the village heard Xia Yu say this, they thought that Xia Yu was a little too alarmist.
Wang Er Mazi was convinced by Xia Yu, and decided immediately to do what Xia Yu said, and after Xia Yu left, he would go to every household to mobilize.
Xia Yu came to King Qin's army and walked into Li Shimin's camp, just in time to chase the half barrel of oil brought by Fenghuang and put it in the military tent.
"Brother Li, let's burn the enemy's grain this time!"
Li Shimin was puzzled and said: "General Xia, there is something wrong with this matter, the river is ten zhang wide, and the coverage of bows and arrows is extremely difficult to reach." If there is a frontal battle, the Qin Wangjun is only more than 1,000 people, how can it be the opponent of the Sui army. ”
Xia Yu became a bamboo in his chest, and asked people to take a basin of water, pour a layer of oil on it, and after igniting the oil, the fire was very big.
"We pour oil on the river, just ignite the oil, and the grain and grass ships will burn down."
Li Shimin applauded, such a trick, only a hundred Qin Wangjun can be used, and he can make another great contribution.
"It's just, General Xia, where does this oil come from?"
Xia Yu told him about the oil dug up in Wang Er's Mazi Village.
Li Shimin asked Xia Yu to bring 200 sergeants to the village to bring oil.
Besides, Tian Chong followed Xia Yu, and after a long period of effort, he finally found the specific location of the village in the mountains, and there were about 300 people in it, and it seemed that these people were thieves who robbed grain and grass.
After he returned to the army, he reported the matter to Li Jiancheng.
After Li Jiancheng heard this, he knew that Xia Yu was colluding with the robbers, and he was furious at the moment: "Tian Chong, I order you to bring a thousand Li family troops and kill these thieves." ”
Tian Chong took the order and left, intending to quietly surround the village at night while they were asleep, so that no one could escape.
At dusk, Xia Yu came to the village again to transport oil, and once again told Wang Er Mazi to take the villagers away as soon as possible, and then left.
As the day got late, it began to rain in the sky, and the rain became heavier, and the air was full of green moisture.
The people in the village now said that they would wait until the rain cleared before leaving.
Wang Er Mazi no longer insisted, since it was raining, Li Jiajun would definitely not take advantage of the rainy night to attack the village.
The rain fell for about an hour and a half, and gradually stopped.
Tian Chong quietly approached the village with a thousand people, and when he came to the outside of the village, the people in the village were sleeping.
Passing down the military order, Tian Chong asked Li Jiajun to say that he was all Xia Yu's people.
After the order was handed down, 500 people surrounded the village, and 500 people entered the village along the mountain road.
As soon as he entered the village, Tian Chong waved his hand, and the sergeants lit fires everywhere.
Realizing that there was a fire, the villagers ran outside the house with a shout.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
What awaited them was a feathered arrow that tore through the air and pierced straight into their chests.
The villagers fell one by one, they were a rabble, how they were the opponents of the regular army, screams, cries, loud, the scene was no different from hell.
"I'm fighting with you!"
Holding the big knife in his hand, Wang Er Mazi moved forward, ran a few steps, and was hit by more than ten arrows on his body, so he could only use the knife to the ground, looking at these soldiers with grief and indignation: "Who are you?" ”
"So that you know that we are General Xia's people, and you have no use for him at all, only to kill."
"You lie, General Xia will definitely not do this!"
Wang Er Mazi shouted hoarsely, Jiang Da Fat was by his side, and he would never believe that Xia Yu would do such a heartbreaking thing.
"Since you don't believe it, then I'll let you die to understand." Tian Chong took out the Xia Yu Soldier Talisman from his arms, and the word "Xia" was written on it.
Why did Xia Yu's talisman appear in his hand, but it was Xia Yu who cut through the oil palm cloth that day and accidentally fell to the ground, and Tian Chong had not returned it to Xia Yu.
Wang and Jiang had contact with Xia Yu for a long time and had seen his talismans, so how could they not believe that the mastermind of this tragedy was Xia Yu.
"Xia Yu—"
Wang Er Mazi looked up to the sky and roared, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the eyes of Jiang Da Fat.
"We are really blind, Xia Yu actually did such a thing, and we still think he is a good person!"
With the determination to die, the two rushed towards Li Jiajun.
However, before he could get close, he was shot into a hedgehog by a flying feathered arrow.
Tian Chong looked at the bones all over the ground and ordered Li Jiajun to set the houses in the village on fire, he walked to the corpses of Wang and Jiang and kicked their corpses with his feet: "Remember, when you are reincarnated as a human in the next life, you should have a snack." ”
Wang Er Mazi suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed Tian Chong's right arm tightly, and yelled fiercely: "Xia Yu, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" ”
"Let go of me, you let go of me!" Tian Chong was so frightened by Wang Er Mazi who came back from the dead that he collapsed to the ground.
