Chapter 777: Thornwood Oil

"No way!"

Just when I thought that everything was about to fall into place, a voice came from behind me, it was the logistics officer surnamed Zhang, he stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the flying boat of the Ministry of Industry has always had a special purpose, or used for volley battles, or used as a royal ride, how can there be a reason to transport lowly torpedoes?" What's more, this torpedo is just a fisherman's trick to fry fish, how can it be on the table? My Xuanyuan Empire has always been the supreme of Middle-earth, and if I even take out the torpedo to meet it, I am afraid that it will inevitably become a joke on the mainland! ”

I frowned, "What does this sirry mean?" How can torpedoes become a joke if they are a tactic of war? ”

"July Flowing Fire!"

He glared at me and said, "As the deputy commander of the regular army of the empire, you don't think about the twenty-seven tactics and don't learn the techniques of the imperial battle array, you only know how to do these carving insect skills, do you really think that the torpedo can contain the heavy armor of the flamingo legion?" Have you verified? ”

"Nope."

I shook my head and said, "But I believe it works, and Han Zixi also believes it, right?" ”

Han Zixi nodded hurriedly: "Yes...... The torpedo is mixed with some broken tiles, which must be more powerful, and perhaps the speed of the explosion is enough to deform or even penetrate the opponent's heavy armor. ”

"It's just nonsense, how can a torpedo be used to meet the enemy?!" The logistics officer is still unrelenting.

I raised my eyebrows: "If your Excellency says so, why don't you go to meet the enemy?" How about you go and defeat the 600,000 Flamingo Legion? ”

"You ......"

He was furious.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ying raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang Jishan!" You can step down, there is nothing for you to do here for the time being, you just need to arrange the grain and grass equipment. ”

"Yes......"

Zhang Jishan was resigned, and withdrew from the conference hall after clenching his fists.

"July Flow."

Xuanyuan Ying looked at me with a pair of deep eyes, and said with a smile: "You are a very interesting young general, and you are also the leader of the new generation of generals in the empire, I believe in you, I will hand over all the twenty transport ships of the Flying Boat Battalion to you, in addition, I will also dispatch my flying boat to you, I hope you can play a satisfactory battle on the battlefield." ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

On the side, Han Zixi also hugged his fists together: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Retire! ”

"Let's go~~~"

Feng Buwen smiled and said: "I will take you to receive the flying boat, in addition, how many people are needed, although tell me, here is my handwritten letter, you can take it, you can dispatch all resources in the major provinces, but if there are non-compliance, you can kill on the spot!" ”

"Thank you."

"Well, go ahead!"

……

Soon after, with the sound of "goo-goo-goo", the spirit stones in the furnaces on both sides of the flying boat burned fiercely, providing an endless stream of power, dozens of flying boats took off, and then rushed into the clouds, flying straight to the south, and in less than twenty minutes, they directly entered Yunxi City, a secondary main city located in the south, and it seemed that the mythical and sharp guilds were settled here.

The flying fleet landed directly on the top of a workshop, and when I showed the seal of the wind, a local official said in a deep voice: "The Northern Wilderness Province is in the midst of war, the empire needs the materials in your hands, each workshop will move all your torpedoes out, count them according to the quantity, and then the provincial capital will issue subsidies to you according to the quantity, please don't hide your secrets!" ”

For a while, an endless stream of people carried boxes of black torpedoes with a lead onto the flying boats, and in less than ten minutes, everything was ready, and dozens of flying boats were full of heavy torpedoes.

"Let's go, Northland!"

"Set sail!"

At the sound of the order, the flying ships took off again, and arrived at the Northland County closest to the battlefield in the Northern Wilderness Province after about eighteen minutes, when the flying ships landed on a wide ground, countless workers in the costumes of the Ministry of Industry galloped over, and quickly began to fill the torpedo with gunpowder and crockpot fragments, I waited anxiously, every second there was a deer player, the soldiers of the Silver Frost Legion were dying, the faster here, the less losses there were, I can describe my mood at the moment.

"Adults don't need to be anxious, it will be soon."

On the side, Han Zixi Road.

"Hmm."

I nodded: "How long will it take?" ”

"The first batch, in about ten minutes, will be ready to move."

"Okay, take me around, I'd like to see this workshop."

"Yes!"

Not far ahead, I smelled a pungent smell between my noses, in addition to the smell of gunpowder, there was also an additional smell similar to kerosene, so I frowned: "What smell?" ”

"Oh, it's thornwood oil."

"Thornwood oil?"

"Yes, sir." Han Zixi said: "The thorn wood plant grows in the northern and southern provinces of the empire, and the oil produced is ignited when it is fired, and my colleagues in the Ministry of Industry have always had the habit of refining thorn wood oil as an oil lamp to consume, and these thorn wood oil is also very popular in the north, and the average large family will hoard a large amount of thorn wood oil as fuel to survive the long winter." ”

"Is it really ignited when it hits fire?"

"Yes!"

"Show me."

"Yes, sir!"

Turning the corner, there was an alley in front of him, just in front, a middle-aged man was walking with an oil drum vigorously, Han Zixi stopped it directly, and I took a branch and stained it with thornwood oil from the oil drum, and then looked around, and smeared it directly on the stone wall.

"Huh!"

A fiery flame burned along the path of thornwood oil, blackening the walls.

"Awesome ......"

I frowned and said, "Han Zixi, is there a lot of this thorn wood oil?" ”

"Many, after all, it's a daily necessities."

"Good!"

I turned to look at one of the lieutenants behind me and said, "Can the catapult of the Silver Frost Legion be able to throw this barrel of thornwood oil?" ”

The adjutant general stepped forward and weighed it with the oil drum, and said with a smile: "My lord, it's a little meaning...... But...... Our catapults are all used to shoot boulders to kill opponents, so why do you throw this? ”

"Your Excellency is going to attack with fire, right?" Han Zixi's eyes lit up and said with a smile.

I also smiled: "The fire attack may be useless to other Scarlet Royal Court Corps, but the Flamingo Corps are all heavy armoured troops, whether it is hoplite or hoplite cavalry, once it is dyed with this kind of thornwood oil that ignites when it meets fire, we will shoot rockets like this and spread to each other, I'm afraid that the Flamingo Corps can really only be reborn from the fire." ”

Han Zixi nodded: "What the adults said is extremely true!" ”

"Okay, all requisitioned, as many as you want!"

"Yes!"

……

Twenty minutes later, the first batch of torpedoes was loaded, and I returned to the battlefield with me, and at this time, it was night again, and the whole world was gray, and wisps of snowflakes fell from the sky.

"Lord Flowing Fire is back!"

When the ship landed, I was seen.

"Brother Xian, how is it?"

Wang Shuangce stepped forward immediately, and there were still blood stains on the blade, presumably he couldn't hold back and went into battle to kill the enemy in person.

"All the best."

I smiled slightly: "Brother Wang Shuang, how is the situation on the battlefield?" ”

Suddenly, Wang Shuang's smile gradually disappeared, and said: "The Flamingo Legion has launched a frenzied onslaught, our brothers have suffered heavy losses, the Tiebu Battalion has killed more than 10,000 people and injured more than 10,000 people, even the soldiers who can fight again, most of them are exhausted, if everyone doesn't rest a little, eat and replenish their strength, I'm afraid the Silver Frost Legion will be dragged down." ”

"Got it."

I nodded, looked into the distance, and said, "The Tiebu Battalion has been supporting it for too long, and we must replace them to come down and rest for a while." ”

"That'...... What about the line of defense? Wang Shuang said.

"It's okay."

I looked at the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion to control Qin Zhan, and said, "The heavy cavalry of the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion, dismounted and shielded, can they take on the heavy duty of infantry?" ”

Suddenly, Qin Zhan looked excited, hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured that the brothers of the Tianqi Battalion are powerful heavy cavalry when they get on the horse, and they can replace the brothers of the Tiebu Battalion when they get off the horse, please give the order, the 30,000 brothers of the last general looked at the bloody battle of the brothers in the same battalion, and they have long been gearing up to fight with the Flamingo Regiment!" ”

"Good!"

I nodded and smiled: "Qin Zhan, you go and give an order, the 20,000-day cavalry battalion will dismount and raise the shield, and go to be a heavy infantry to change the defense of the Tiebu battalion, and the remaining 10,000-day cavalry battalion will also dismount, and Han Zixi will teach them how to use torpedoes, and the brothers of the Tiebu Battalion and the Shenbow Battalion who have been replaced will all return to the camp to repair, eat well, sleep well, and treat their injuries." ”

"Yes!"

"Virtuous brother!" Wang Shuang took a step forward and said, "There is really a shortage of manpower, my Praetorian Guard Battalion has 10,000 people, you can also dispatch it together!" ”

"Okay."

I nodded: "Let them raise their shields together to fight against the enemy!" ”

"Hmm!"

……

Soon after, after the change of defense was completed, the 20,000 Heavenly Cavalry Battalion and the 10,000 Praetorian Guard Battalion all carried shields into battle and strangled with the Flamingo heavy infantry, and in the back row, 10,000 cavalry cavalry of the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion who had received Han Zixi's "emergency training" took off their battle armor and went into battle shirtless, each with a box of torpedoes, and piles of bonfires were lit at the rear of the defense line.

"Remember!"

Han Zixi rode a thin horse and said, "After igniting it, throw it forward with all your might!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Let's get started!"

……

I also turned around and waited intently to see how much the torpedo would change the situation on the battlefield.

"Sizzle~~~"

The moment the fuse was ignited, the cavalry of the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion turned around one after another, and then threw the torpedoes one by one in the air with a "flutter", and suddenly wisps of flames drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the flamingo who was rushing to kill looked up at the dense sparks in the air one by one, and said, "This...... What's going on? ”
