Chapter 436 Dumbfounded

The people saw that the burning pyre was easily dispersed by Chen Guotie's horse, and they couldn't do anything. They are not like scholars who have boiling blood in their bones, and most people are still swayed by reason between life and death.

The people at the gate of the city silently dispersed, making way for the army of Chen Guo to step into the city.

The guards in Quli City have long been transferred to the more important Qingdu to guard the safety of His Majesty King Qing. To a certain extent, Quli City is already an abandoned city.

Today, he was able to resist Chen Guo's army for a while, thanks to the stubbornness of Lin Cezhi, an old man, and this group of scholars who went to die.

They are very touching, and at the same time, their death is also a blow to the faith of the people of Qingguo. The people of Qu Licheng knew that King Qing had given up on them, and only cared about arranging troops in Qingdu, trying to resist the people of Chen.

A king who has lost popular popularity lives up to his name.

Chen Baichuan almost suffered any obstacles in Quli City, except for a few troublesome scholars shouting slogans, the rest were too smooth.

After Qu left the city, it was Qingdu.

……………………

Qingdu is worthy of being the national capital built by gathering a country's financial resources.

Chen Baichuan looked at the city gate, and the plaque with the pen walking the dragon and snake not only sighed at the strength of this country. Chen Guo's current wealth and strength are nouveau riche, relying on the things in Chen Baichuan's mind that do not belong to this era, and he is forced to support himself.

Countries like Qingguo and Daheng have more potential than Chen Guo. If they were given time to adapt to Chen Baichuan's amazement, Qingguo Daheng would never let Chen Baichuan bully him like this.

Therefore, Chen Baichuan will not give them time at all.

Of course, the gates of Gyeongdu were closed, and the drawbridge of the moat was also closed.

The deep moat in front of the city gate blocked the possibility of the siege engines advancing. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of attacking Qingdu to a certain extent.

Of course, for Chen Baichuan, there are ways to solve these problems.

I'm afraid that even a reckless man was pulled out of the camp at random, and he knew the most basic strategy, which was to surround the entire Qingdu and prevent the people in the city from getting supplies. In this way, sooner or later, the city will be broken open.

It's just that this process is very long, and Chen Baichuan can't afford to wait.

From the fact that the soldiers, horses, money, food and materials that Qu left the city were all transferred, the grain in Qingdu may be able to survive the people in the city for a year. If you cut down on food and clothing, maybe you can still last the people in the city for two years......

Such a long siege is not unprecedented. Judging from the arrangement of King Qing's way over, he may really have such an idea.

It is impossible for Chen Baichuan to let him get his wish.

A year, or even two years, is enough time to make a series of reactions to this behemoth.

The way to conquer the world must not have any changes.

Chen Baichuan has other ways in his heart, but it hurts Tianhe.

One is to put a lot of poison in the moat. Qingren craftsmen have long reported to Chen Baichuan that the moat is almost connected to any water source in the city. As long as a sufficient amount of poison is put into the moat, the whole celebration will not be many days, and it will naturally have to raise the white flag and surrender.

The second method is still inseparable from the moat, and Chen Baichuan plans to pour a large amount of oil into the moat. The oil floats on the surface of the water and pours down the mouth of the moat into the waterways that extend in all directions in Gyeongdu. Let the entire Qingdu become a sea of fire.

Two methods, one more vicious than the other.

Even if Chen Baichuan already has a lot of lives in his hands, he still feels that it hurts the heavens and the peace.

"General, it's been raining a lot lately, so let's use the second method." Chu Hui said on the side.

Chen Baichuan could only nod.

……………………

Even Chen Guo, under Chen Baichuan's prompting, had already discovered the wonderful use of black fire oil, but only a part of this valuable resource was found. Fortunately, Chen Guo's current deformed industrial development requires not many places where oil is needed, so this very small amount of black fire oil has been retained.

At that time in Guangyang City, Chen Baichuan once thought about burning the entire Guangyang City into a sea of fire and letting Liu Tingfeng be buried in it.

Because he finally found that Liu Tingfeng and his subordinates were vulnerable, Chen Baichuan did not let this method come in handy. This method was used by Chen Baili when Qingguo invaded Chen State.

Chen Baichuan laughed to himself.

The oil is packed in wooden barrels. Iron ore is still an important resource, and in order to prevent oil and gas from leaking out, wooden barrels are still wrapped around iron in an attempt to strengthen it.

The Qingguo soldiers in the city, who looked at the Chen Guoren under the city without knowing the so-called, poured buckets of black things into the moat. They had long tried to stop the actions of the city with spears and bows and arrows, but in comparison, the firearms of the Chen people were sharper, so they gave up.

Alas, let them do it.

The civil and military ministers in Qingdu were a little fortunate at this time, such a big moat, and the kings of Qing in the past dynasties had long been worried about the problem of water sources being cut off. Therefore, there is a man-made river in the city, which is not connected to the source of the moat. This is recorded in the annals of Gyeongkook.

It's just that they don't know that barrels of oil are not the poison they imagined, but something more deadly to them.

Considering the problem of oil volatility, today the oil is poured into the river, that is, today, Qingdu is reduced to a sea of fire.

Chen Baichuan only prayed in his heart that King Qing could open the city gate and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, what a sin it would be.

There is no mercy on the battlefield.

In addition to oil, Chen Baichuan also filled small boats with gunpowder and pushed them to the side of the moat against the city gate.

"General, everything is ready."

Chen Baichuan sighed, then looked at the ship full of gunpowder, pulled the lead, and burned like crazy.

The volley of sparks soon burned to the end.

The soldiers who were standing there had already run back.

In order to avoid being affected, Chen Guo's army also retreated dozens of steps in time.

Rumble.

An almost inaudible roar rang out, and everyone watched the crazy scene in front of them.

Fire, monstrous fire.

On the surface of the originally muddy moat, there was a thick layer of oil, and this layer of oil was ignited by the fire and burned wildly.

So the flames began to spread uncontrollably, along this side of the moat, into the city.

The ships on the water in Gyeongdu burned like crazy.

The thick sound of wood burning in the fire, like the sound of death, echoes on the surface of every river in Gyeondo.

The fire is very big and still spreading.

Such an astonishing change immediately made the people in the city dumbfounded, and also made the bigwigs in Qingdu dumbfounded.
