Chapter 382: Attack on the Rope (2)
"General Qiqi, the vanguard of our army has entered the tung oil factory of the Shu thieves in Hanfu County, and there is no one inside."
"Oh? What is the layout of the tung oil factory? Is there a large amount of tung oil scattered? ”
"I have carefully investigated, and there is indeed a small amount of tung oil remaining, but it is estimated that it is less than three stones."
"Well, it seems that the Shu thief has given up here a long time ago. This Guan Weizhi is also a person who can let go. The forward troops were ordered to carefully clean the tung oil plant and ensure that there was no fire in and around the plant. ”
"No!"
"Again, the front army will rest in place for a while, and after the forward troops have cleared out the safe area, the front army troops will camp near the tung oil plant tonight."
"No!"
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Lu Kang and the others, who had rested all night in anxiety, finally waited for the sunrise.
Not only that, but the Chinese army led by Zhang Zheng has also caught up.
"General, what's next for our army?"
"Well...... this" Lu Kang also had a toothache when he said it, this army has been deep in Fuling County for more than ten days, but whether it is the enemy's main force or a small formed force, I haven't seen a single one. Although the number of people in charge of logistics on this side is three times that of the soldiers. But the people also have to eat. With the extension of our logistics line, the pressure on this food supply is increasing.
"Well, Leader Xiang, how far is the cement factory of the Fuxing Society you said from here?"
"If you go back to the general, start from here and walk one hundred and thirty miles northwest of the mountain road to the cement factory of the Fuxing Society."
"Hiss~ Wouldn't that be another three or five days away." After listening to the guide's explanation, Lu Kang's toothache hurt, but then he thought of the perverted turtle shell on Yong'an's side. He still made up his mind: "Ji Yang, go and rectify the front army and prepare to go." ”
"General Shang is really going to attack the cement factory of the Shu thieves?"
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, although this tung oil factory is very large, this technology is not unique to Shu thieves. Therefore, it is to give up, and the impact on the Shu thieves is not great. But cement is different, even if the Shu thieves got the news in advance to destroy the cement factory and retreat. But the entire production base will inevitably leave traces, as long as our army can get there for careful investigation, there will always be clues. In this way, if our army can master this technique, it will be able to withdraw without fighting, and it will be a great enough merit. In fact, in my opinion, Guan Weizhi simply cannot afford the consequences of the leakage of cement production technology. As long as we get close enough from there, the enemy will fight us in a decisive battle! As long as the decisive battle is won, Fuling County will fall into my hands. ”
"The last general understands, and immediately goes to reorganize the troops."
"Well, my sons. This time we are going to the place where the Shu thieves are really confined, so your Chinese army will be closer to me this time. Your troops will follow after they have eaten the morning meal. ”
"No, don't worry, the general will definitely follow within three miles behind the general."
"Good." After saying this, Lu Kang looked at the place where the tung oil factory was located: "This place is a rare flat land among the mountains. The surrounding trees have long been cut down by Shu thieves. Therefore, this vision is also very good, and I am not afraid of being attacked. The order was sent to Zi Zhan (Lu Shu) of the rear army. His rear army was based on it. Some of the grain from the back is also transported here to concentrate! ”
"No!"
With Lu Kang's order, the entire Soochow army moved efficiently. By the next day, when Lu Shu's rear army came here, the main force led by Lu Kang, Lu Mu, Zhang Zheng and others had already walked more than fifty miles north.
……
"Hey, revealing such a flaw has finally allowed this Lu Youjie's troops to pull a long enough distance."
"In the middle of the army, now Wu Gou's rear army is indeed far away from his own team, and it is not difficult for us to concentrate our forces to annihilate it. But the cement factory ......"
"Hehehe, Zimiao, you have been the Taishou of Fuling County for several years, have you ever been to the cement factory to see it?"
"Of course, I have been there, and Xia Guan has personally completed every link of cement production and actually operated all of them."
"That's not the point, the focus is on the terrain over there at the cement plant."
"Ah~~ Xiaguan understands."
In the middle of the night of this day, Guan Suo led 5,000 mandarin duck soldiers to quietly approach the former tung oil factory, now the logistics base of Dongwu.
More than a mile southeast of the Wu army barracks, there was a small hill, and when they arrived here, the Han army all stopped. Then some of the soldiers started in unison, first laying rolling logs on the undulating mountain road, and then gradually pulling hundreds of large wooden boxes up along the rolling log tracks.
"Spearmen out!"
With Guan Suo's whispered order, nearly a thousand pikemen in the Mandarin Duck Formation stood up, and they lined up in a solid spear formation that looked like the salt workers' gun formation.
After the gun array was placed, some of the soldiers pulled open the box that they had just pulled up with great difficulty. Then more than a hundred soldiers carried torches towards the wooden box a little!
Then, in the silent night sky, the roar of a wild boar suddenly sounded!
In these more than 100 boxes, all of them are wild boars that are very common in the Wuling Mountains!
After these wild boars were captured by the Han army and the natives in the vicinity, their tails were wrapped in heavy oil oil. At this time, the torch reached into the wooden box and poked inside, and all the tails of the wild boar were ignited.
At the same time, some of the soldiers quickly pulled open the front half of the wooden box. All the boars flew out of their boxes in an instant.
On the one hand, the opening was the wilderness in front of the hill, and on the other hand, thousands of spears were closely lined up behind. Therefore, at this time, except for a very few of the furious wild boars who turned around and pounced on the spear array and were stabbed to death by random guns, most of the wild boars rushed along the mountain towards the camp garrisoned by the Wu army.
"Enemy attack!"
"Archers! Diffuse towards the light of the fire! ”
When the wild boar herd at the top of the hill let out its first roar, the Wu army guards under the mountain were already alert. When he saw more than a hundred bright fires rapidly approaching his camp at an incredible speed, the archers stationed on the wall also quickly began to diffuse.
It's a pity that the wild boar is a creature that is extremely fast in a state of rage, and with such a diffuse, the hit rate is extremely low. Besides, what if it hits? With the size of a wild boar, dozens of feathered arrows are inserted in their bodies, which hardly affects their speed.
In just a dozen breaths, hundreds of wild boars rushed to the front of the Wu army's fortress. It looked like a strong Wu military camp, and dozens of big holes were suddenly broken.
However, this is just the beginning.
After the wild boar that rushed to the front crashed into the wall at a very high speed, part of its neck was broken by the huge stress and died on the spot. Then there are still some wild boars that continue to protrude forward after entering the camp.
This is the camp of the Eastern Wu Army, but more than a day ago, it was the largest tung oil production base of this era.
The ignition point of tung oil is about 400 degrees Celsius, but the flash point is only 200 degrees. And what is the temperature of a normal flame? Depending on the type of burning substance, it is generally between 300 and 400 degrees.
The place where tung oil is produced is in a small basin in the Wuling Mountains. For safety reasons, the place has extremely tight control over open flames. Around this small basin, all the trees and grasses in a radius of more than a mile have been cut down and cleaned up. It is afraid that the density of tung oil molecules in the air is too high, and once there is an open flame accidentally, the whole plant will easily ignite.
Therefore, when the remaining dozens of wild boars rushed into the Wu army village with their bright tails of fire, they were helped by the thick tung oil molecules in the air. Wherever the wild boar passed, the camp and treasury of the Wu army quickly and violently burned.
Not only that, but in fact, when Guansuo asked the workers and guards of the tung oil factory to retreat. There is still a large amount of finished tung oil here that has not been transferred. And all this tung oil is buried in the ground.
Finally, as the temperature of the ground rises, the tung oil in the ground begins to react. And in the second half of the night, with a loud bang, the entire camp of Dongwu suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
……
"Hey, I don't know how many Wu dogs there are in this camp, and how many generals are there? You Guan Laozi, in order to quickly take down this group of guys, but I threw hundreds of tung oil into it......"
