Chapter 385: Firearms?
The fog weighs down on the city, and the goose snow flutters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoΩΔe.la
On the city wall of Caohan, Song Jian, the king of the Han Dynasty in the head of the river, and the hundreds of civil and military officials placed in it, all knelt outside the city gate. Screams, screams, hunting in the cold wind.
When Lu Xun set out, Lu Bu personally led a large army to quickly besiege Caohan, and in only ten days with a weak force, he broke the Song Jian, who had tens of thousands of fierce soldiers and horses, and failed to crusade for the imperial court several times.
Song Jian called Wang Gaiyuan, dominated the Han for more than 20 years, several times for the imperial court crusade but failed, thousands of officials, kneeling in the snow out of a long dragon.
"We are loyal and good, and we are not at odds with thieves! Chop. Lu Bu turned a deaf ear to the surrender and said that Song Jian, who was wearing the imperial robe, and looked at Song Jian with a cold look, the latter was like an electric shock, and the sound of mercy was instantly inaudible.
As soon as Lu Bu gave an order, streams of blood sprayed outside the city, and finally formed a red snow mist in the air.
After the execution, Lu Bu waved his army into the city and strictly controlled Caohan. He ruled in the hands of the Qiang people for more than 20 years, and the people were fierce and did not obey the law.
"Those who gather a crowd to make trouble will be beheaded, those who disobey discipline will be beheaded, and those who take advantage of the chaos will be beheaded."
Lü Bu issued three military orders in a row, and if the Qiang people were not satisfied, he would not mind slaughtering the city once. Now it is necessary to suppress the Qiang people with iron and blood, and then slowly educate. went straight to the palace and asked Xu Shu to organize some civilian officials with the army to count the spoils of war. Not long after entering the city, Lu Bu sniffled, and he smelled the breath of technology.
Yes, he smelled a strong choking smell mixed with the smell of car exhaust.
Huang Zhong saw that Lu Bu suddenly paused, his nose tried to inhale, Huang Zhong learned to take a breath, and his expression was shocked: "It's not good, the enemy is putting poisonous smoke in the city to protect the general." Huang Zhong's figure flickered, and rows of biao-shaped big men flashed around Lu Bu at the same time, protecting Lu Bu in the center.
Lu Bu stretched out his hand to push Huang Zhong away, and said with a relaxed smile: "Han Sheng, don't be nervous, this is not poisonous smoke, I seem to have found something very valuable." ”
Lu Bu looked up, and in the alleys on both sides, streams of black and thick smoke and dust rushed to the sky, lingering in the wind for a long time.
"Let's go, let's see." Only then did Lu Bu find that the city was full of this kind of thick smoke full of black particles, and when he clasped his nostrils with his hand, his fingernails were full of black dust. Much like the kind of black particles that burned plastic in the era of civilization.
"The military master spares his life...... The military master spared his life. ”
Several soldiers entered the house one step ahead of Lu Bu, dared all the people in the room to come out, and after eliminating the danger one by one, they invited Lu Bu into the house.
In the middle of the house, thick smoke is rising from a brazier, and the closer you go, the stronger the smell. In the brazier, a lonely branch was stirring something as thick as black mud, emitting a faint flame. The flames were in the thick of smoke, as if they could be extinguished at any moment. There was a mud jar next to it, which contained a small half jar of black thick liquid, Lu Bu held it up and put it to his nose, if it was not lit, the smell would not be strong.
"Husband, what is this?" Lu Bu was not sure of the guess in his heart, so he held the jar to the owner and asked.
This family is a typical Qiang people, regardless of skin color and language, they are different from the Han Dynasty. Although the old man was terrified, there were occasional flashes of fierceness in his eyes. Everyone in Xiliang is brave, regardless of age or age. The old man looked at the big man standing next to Lu Bu, and chose to bow down and answer:
"This is stone water flowing from the well. Please calm the anger of the military master, it's just that there are many people and little firewood in the city of Caohan, and the weather is cold. This stone water burns for a long time, yes, just such a small point, it can burn for half a day, although it is not easy to burn, but it can also drive away the cold slightly. Every household in the city will collect points to come back to keep warm. ”
"Where in the mountains? Take me to see it. The anger was not revealed, and Lu Bu couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart. It's crude oil! There is a lot of gum and asphalt in the middle, of course, it is not easy to ignite, and it can be used as kerosene as long as it is roughly processed, and the flammability is not lower than that of fire oil. Of course, with this backward technology, Lu Bu can only filter and precipitate as much as possible, and it is impossible to purify it to the same high quality as gasoline and diesel.
He was worried that the production of oil and stone for thunderbolts was not easy, and with the support of a large amount of kerosene, who in the world was still an opponent? In the future, you can only use a thunderbolt car to open the road, burn the mountain every mountain, and burn the city every city. In the face of absolute power, even if Zhuge Liang's plan is as deep as the sea, it is in vain.
Lu Bu knew that there were countless oil, natural gas, and coal buried in the ground, but with current technology, he could only look for this kind of open-air and deep underground in the same way. This time, I came across an open-pit oil field in Caohan, can you not be happy?
There is no need to deliberately look for it, young and old know where this 'stone water' well is. Twelve or thirteen miles out of the city, at the foot of the southern mountain range of Qilian Mountain on the west bank of the Yellow River, in front of a black cave cave, a black crude oil lake, only after years of collection by the Qiang, the crude oil lake is a few feet deep in the ground. By the lake, there are countless Qiang people who are crashing into the mud pots, a busy scene.
"The order goes down, and it is not allowed to collect for the time being."
Such a big lake, it was ruined so much, Lu Bu's heart was dripping blood. He has taken possession of the crude oil for himself.
Lu Bu gave an order, and the people immediately became resentful. The fierce Qiang people are not afraid of the large army that will come out in columns, and the scene may get out of control and run wild.
"These Qiang people, all gathered in the city of Caohan, and after opening the Guanlong Road, they all went to Chang'an Tuntian, and took the lead in causing trouble, and killed."
……
Lu Bu personally inspected the mountain near the mountain, the mountain should be hollow, and there is crude oil flowing out of many crevices, but it is impossible to estimate the reserves, and short-term use should not be a problem. He left his confidant Sun Kang behind here, responsible for mining and processing, as well as secrecy. and mobilized a group of students loyal to the government from Chang'an to come to research and development.
Lu Bu uses the rough way of filtration to purify, but the bad thing is that there are too many impurities in the crude oil, which is not easy to filter, and the processing and filtration at medium and high temperatures is barely effective. Lu Bu did not return to Caohan to count the grain, grass, baggage and other trophies, but stayed near the oil field for several days.
In a few days, Lu Bu relied on the rumors and knowledge in his memory, and he really tossed out half a bowl, of course, the purity could not be compared with the kerosene of later generations, like sewage. Soak in a white cloth and throw on the fire.
"Bang."
The human-high flames startled the generals surrounding Lu Bu. After two or three seconds, the flame is extinguished. The smiles on the faces of the soldiers froze, this ...... A brief flash of fire, does it work?
"Don't underestimate it, it's only burned for a moment. I didn't have much kerosene in the fire just now, but the temperature reached in an instant was very high. If I pour it all into it, it will burn for a long time. As long as this small oil field is in hand, it will be able to conquer any city in the world. After it is officially put into production, everyone will wait and see. ”
"However, the general only harvested such half a bowl in a few days, which is not enough for me, is this okay?" A simple little general asked puzzled.
"It has not yet been officially put into production, and many processes need to be studied and experienced, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be used on a large scale in a short period of time, and we know in our hearts that there is a secret weapon that can kill the enemy to the ground. When the enemy is unfavorable, as long as you have confidence in your heart, you can have no worries about the future and work hard. ”
Lu Bu never forgot to encourage morale, no matter whether it succeeded or not, the bull and the force were blown up first, so that the soldiers had no fear, so that they could not be defeated in a hundred battles. Even if the enemy enters Chang'an, the soldiers still have the confidence, and they will still not lose their proportions.
For the sake of kerosene, Lu Bu decided to spare no effort, and he must let people study the purification method, he will not not say that others will not, as long as everyone is given time, this is like papermaking, and the wisdom of the masses can be gradually brought into play.
Lu Bu stretched his limbs, and undoubtedly, he found that a city wall base had been built around the mountain, and the soldiers had not rested in the past few days. Lu Bu secretly screamed in his heart. It's just that the battle is in full swing ahead, and Lu Bu doesn't have time to delay here.
Two days later, Lu Xun's good news came that Di Dao had been captured.
Lu Bu reluctantly walked out of the laboratory, eager to find a way to purify crude oil. As long as the kerosene is in hand, the thunderbolt can be used to rumble the enemy all over the world, regardless of the cost.
The Guanlong Road was wide and flat, and after Lu Bu's army boarded the Guanlong Road from Caohan, it took only one day to quickly arrive at Longxi County. Originally, Lu Bu planned to visit the Di Dao Li clan, but when he heard that they were in the right and left style, Lu Bu didn't have the heart to enter the city anymore, so he walked straight around the city. And the Li family also entered Lu Bu's blacklist, except for Li Hui, no matter how talented the other direct members of the Li family are, Lu Bu does not plan to appoint him, he doesn't even do superficial articles, and directly blocks and suppresses the Li family.
Longxi Taishou Ma Zun directly opened the city and surrendered.
Lu Bu's army pacified the counties except Tianshui with lightning speed, Tianshui has become a lonely city, Ma Chao doesn't know the news of Yicheng, I'm afraid that Yicheng Taishou will also surrender the city. What made Ma Chao even more desperate was that he believed Cao Cao's reinforcements and marched eastward, and Cao Cao sold him to Lu Bu in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Lu's reinforcements came, but Wei Yan was blocked in Chencang Road and Xiegu Road, Zhang Lu's 100,000 army was difficult to advance, and it had become delusional to want Zhang Lu to break the siege.
"What should I do...... Ma Chao was seriously injured and staggered out in the main tent. After a few days of recuperation, the soldiers who were wounded in the last siege were recuperated and regained some combat strength.
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and summoned his subordinates.
"Zhugong, Tianshui is isolated, Cao Cao, Zhang Lu and others are useless. My Xiliang army has reached the end of the road, and it is difficult to resist Lu Bu's iron cavalry. Princes, please pluck my head, surrender to Lu Bu, protect the family, and promote fame. ”
Ma Chao was desperate, and the ambition in his heart was shattered little by little by reality. And he really wants to live, but Lu Bu has a grudge against him for killing his father, and he will never die, and he will no longer bear the infamy of recognizing thieves when he dies, and he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life. He will die like a great husband.
As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, Li Kan and Liang Xing, the two generals, puffed and fell to their knees, their foreheads hitting the ground.
