"Oil?" Everyone opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them, and their eyes were full of surprise: "Lord Wang has been busy for so many days, just to boil oil?" ”

Xu Tiezhu approached suspiciously, looked carefully at the pale yellow oily liquid in the bowl, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, although the materials in my Wanshou City are relatively scarce, there is still no shortage of things like vegetable oil, and besides, this kind of oil doesn't smell very fragrant, and no cook will like it when used for stir-frying." ”

"Yes, if it's used to wipe weapons, it's lighter." Ma Xintian touched his chin and pondered.

Wang Huan smiled and didn't speak, but just held the bowl in his hand tightly and didn't let others touch it.

Zu Bian squeezed everyone away, and said with a disdainful face: "What do you know, where is this, this oil is not used for eating, nor is it used to wipe weapons." ”

Wang Huan's eyes lit up, and he looked at his ancestors in some surprise, this reckless Liaodong military man has such a profound knowledge, and can point out the fallacies of others in one word, could it be that he really knows this kind of explosives in later generations?

Zu Bian saw that everyone looked at him with a surprised face, and he was proud in his heart, straightened his waist, and said with a big grin: "This is fire oil, I know it when I smell it, when I was defending the city in Daling City, I didn't use this thing less, hehe, as soon as those Tartars climbed the city wall, we poured oil down from the city, they were all hot, and a layer of skin fell off their bodies as soon as they sticked, and the Tartars were scalded to death. ”

He raised his square head and glanced at the audience, his eyes were very proud, and the word "Xueba" seemed to be written clearly on his face. The crowd of onlookers listened to the "Oh! They all spoke out together, feeling that what Zu Bian said was very reasonable, and he was really a veteran general who had been in battle for a long time.

Wang Huan almost dropped the bowl in his hand to the ground, but quickly steadied himself, stood on his heels, and scolded angrily: "Fart! Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, you can try this oil with a rocket? It's no wonder if you don't blow up your reckless man! ”

Zu Bian and everyone were stunned: "What? Isn't this kerosene? ”

"Of course not, let's go! Come out with me and let your eyes be opened. It's a small place, and I can't use it, otherwise I won't be able to draw it if my official office blows up, but stay away from me, and this thing will be over if it blows up. Wang Huan beckoned everyone to follow him, and walked out of the official office and into the street.

He cautiously walked in front with the bowl, some soldiers in front of pedestrians to avoid, empty the street, Zubian, Xu Tiezhu and others were separated by a distance of ten zhang, far behind, one by one the two monks were confused.

After walking for more than half an hour, Wang Huan walked out of Wanshou City with small steps, went up the high mountain on one side, and came to a mountain woodland that had been prepared for a long time, there was a flat big stone here, and a small pit was smashed with an iron hammer in the middle of the stone, and above the pit, there was a lump of iron hanging five feet high, suspended by a very long rope, and the other end of the rope was circled through the branches above the big stone, stretched straight into the distance between the trees, and finally tied to a tree trunk twenty or thirty zhang away.

Wang Huan arranged for everyone who followed him up the mountain to hide in the pit, and then walked to the big stone alone sweating profusely, holding his breath, and slowly poured the nitroglycerin in the bowl in his hand into the small pit on the stone.

After pouring for a while, Wang Huan emptied the bowl, and the small pit on the stone was filled, and the pale yellow nitroglycerin was like a pool of clear spring water, reflecting Wang Huan's tense face.

Wang Huan has been very nervous in his heart, and finally put his mind at ease at this moment, on the way from Wanshou City to here, he almost didn't dare to relax a little, his hands holding the bowl were extremely sore, and he didn't dare to put down the bowl to rest, his whole body was wet with sweat, and even the soles of his feet were water.

Wang Huan turned around and quickly ran back into the dirt pit, hid with the others, untied the rope tied to the tree, and shouted, "Is the surrounding area empty?" ”

Immediately, a soldier replied from a distance: "My lord, the land within a radius of three miles has been emptied. ”

Xu Tiezhu and the others were shocked, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what are you going to do?" Why is such a large area emptied? Is it to set off a gun? ”

"What kind of cannon, I'm going to blow up that boulder, do you see?" Wang Huan dragged the rope of hanging iron in his hand, and his eyes were aimed at the big stone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, as if they had heard something extremely ridiculous, they couldn't take it back, if it weren't for Wang Huan's face, several people would have rolled on the ground.

"Hahaha, my lord, you said you want to use that bowl of vegetable oil to fry the stones?" Xu Tiezhu hugged his stomach, and it was very hard not to laugh out of tears, and said while grinning.

Zu Bian held back a smile and persuaded: "My lord, that bowl of fire oil was prepared by you yourself, it must be a first-class product, and it will be burned and croaked, but if you want to say that it is fried, your rope is not an fire rope, and it cannot be ignited, and the ignition oil is too little, and it is open and not sealed, how can it be fried?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was irritable again, shook their heads in unison, and said, "Your Excellency is teasing us." ”

Wang Huan's face was unshocked, and he didn't care at all, he squatted down by himself, hiding his whole body in the dirt pit, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Firmly grasping the rope with both hands, his eyes were fixed on the nitroglycerin on the big stone in the distance and the iron hanging above, he measured it, and shouted without looking back: "Don't speak!" All squat! ”

Everyone laughed and squatted down, but they didn't take it very seriously, they had just laughed at Wang Huan for so long, but they really swept his face, the young man was thin-skinned, don't laugh at Huang, you have to listen to him at this time, just play with him.

Wang Huan had a serious face, looking at the position of the iron, there was wind in the forest, and the wind blew the rope that hung the iron, so the rope was slightly shaking, Wang Huan had to ensure that the iron was accurately smashed in the middle of nitroglycerin, so as to achieve the maximum effect of the explosion.

As soon as everyone learned from Wang Huan's appearance, they all squatted down, and saw that Wang Huan's eyes were certain, and the rope in his hand was loosened in vain, and the long rope flew away from his hand, and on the other side, the suspended iron lost its hanging power, suddenly fell from a distance of five feet, and fell fiercely onto a large stone filled with nitroglycerin.

The location of the iron block is accurate, right in the middle of nitroglycerin.

Rumble!

A loud bang resounded through the heavens and the earth, as if countless red-coated cannons exploded at the same time, shaking everyone's ears so that nothing could be heard for a while, and a thick smoke rose above the woods like a huge mushroom, and the next second it spread in all directions like a wave.

Everyone only felt a ringing in their ears, a red light flashed in front of them, they couldn't hear anything, they couldn't see anything, everyone instinctively lowered their heads to avoid at that moment, and buried their whole bodies in the dirt pit.

Countless pieces of rubble flew overhead like bullets, making the surrounding branches crackle, knocking down many branches and leaves and falling into the dirt pit, no one dared to reach out and caress it, just hugged his head and lay on the ground, only hating that the dirt pit was dug too shallow.

After a long time, the breeze in the woods blew, dissipating the thick black smoke, and the air was still filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, Wang Huan was the first to raise his head, straighten up, and look ahead.

"Brother Huan, be careful!" Xu Tiezhu was frightened, pouting his ass like an ostrich, and shouted in panic.

Wang Huan touched his face, wiped the dirt off his face, and said to everyone with a smile: "Get up, it's okay." ”

Zu Bian and the others raised their heads and stood up with palpitations, patted the soil on their bodies, and were about to ask, but found that Wang Huan looked straight ahead, with a look of joy, everyone followed Wang Huan's gaze and looked ahead, and suddenly was stunned again.

In the distance, the boulder where nitroglycerin was originally placed has turned into a pile of rubble of different sizes, and the surrounding trees, within a radius of ten zhang, do not have a complete tree, as if the tragic state after the mountain fire burns, and even the soil on the ground has turned into a charred black.
