Chapter 92: The Devil's Blood
The City of Light was built in a mountain pass, and behind the City of Light was an open valley surrounded by the treacherous mountains that made it difficult to fly.
There was water, fruit trees, and even food in the valley to withstand the blockade.
The area outside Guangming City is in the shape of a "trumpet", surrounded by low mountains and strange rocks, and only the front of the city is a flat ground. The further you go inside, the narrower it becomes.
And in front of the gate of Guangming City, it can only be used for three troikas in parallel, which is very narrow. The Mongol army could not all be deployed here.
And from this moment on, a difficult tug-of-war officially began.
Although the Mongols suffered greatly from the firearms of the Ming sect, the Mongols were not unprepared.
The Mongols used siege equipment.
Under the attack of the return artillery, the artillery at several commanding heights around Guangming City was instantly knocked out by the boulder. And the Mongol army also pushed its own artillery forward, and then planned to use artillery to blow open the gates of Guangming City.
Wang Baobao deliberately emphasized at this time: "By the way, they also have a weapon called 'devil's blood'. ”
"Devil's blood?" Zhao Min muttered, "What is that?" ”
Wang Baobao continued to talk about the power of this mysterious weapon.
When the Mongol army approached the city wall, they planned to destroy the gate with artillery, or build a ladder to attack the city. The guards of the City of Light have used a mysterious weapon called "Devil's Blood".
This mysterious weapon is very flammable, because the whole body is black, and the burning power is extremely strong, so it is called "devil's blood".
The Mingjiao followers put the "devil's blood" in the jar, lit it and then threw it out with a stone thrower.
When the jar shatters, the burning "devil's blood" will scatter and splash on everyone's body, and anyone who sticks to it will ignite all over the body. And the water can't be extinguished even if it's rolling on the ground.
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be such a vicious thing in the world! Zhao Min exclaimed.
"Hey! It's really a tyrannical thing. Zhang Wuji sighed.
Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji and asked, "Brother Wuji, what did you say?" Do you know this thing called 'devil's blood'? ”
Hearing Zhao Min's question, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but laugh, how could he not know this kind of thing?
After all, this kind of thing, in his time, was a hard currency linked to gold and American knives.
Although Zhang Wuji did not see it with his own eyes, after hearing Wang Baobao's description, Zhang Wuji could also confirm that the "devil's blood" they were talking about must be "oil".
After all, Persia, a treasure land, is a world-class oil-producing mecca. With a piece of cloth on his head, he is the richest in the world.
It's just that this is not the industrial age, and although there is countless wealth under this land, Zhang Wuji has no way to use it.
After all, he is not a science student, let alone a production of oil-fired internal combustion engines. He doesn't know even the most basic oil refining. So these things are of little use to him.
If he wants to use it, it is to make "incendiary bombs" like Hoga and them.
But Mr. Zhang didn't plan to do that.
The unique flammability of oil makes it difficult to extinguish. As long as you get a little bit on your body, then you can set yourself on fire.
Not to mention Wang Baobao, their group of ancient people can't do anything. Even Zhang Wuji, a traverser, has no choice.
He couldn't think of any other way to extinguish the flames caused by oil than carbon dioxide fire extinguishers and foam fire extinguishers.
And the principle of this fire extinguishing is to isolate oxygen to extinguish the fire.
Although Zhang Wuji is ruthless and has killed countless people, he can't be ruthless.
It is nothing to be hacked to death with a knife, drowned by water, shocked to death, blown up. But this way of burning people alive is too terrible and hurtful.
Looking at everyone's inquisitive eyes, Zhang Wuji replied: "Devil's blood is a fuel called 'oil'. This kind of thing is very flammable and very difficult to extinguish. If you can, don't get it. ”
Zhang Wuji looked at Wang Baobao and asked, "How many of these things do they have?" ”
Zhang Wuji planned to ask in advance, after all, if the other party really used oil, even it would be difficult for him to win.
If he falls into a trap full of oil, even if he is cold, oh no! It was directly roasted into a roast pig.
And the force rises from the ground, facing the slippery, viscous oil, even if it is him, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape.
Wang Baobao replied: "There should be none." Despite the defeat of our army, the City of Light is still under our blockade, and they cannot transport any supplies into it. ”
Zhao Min asked: "So, brother, you were burned by this thing called 'oil'?" ”
Wang Baobao recalled the events of that day, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he said, "Of course not. Although the devil's blood is very powerful, it is fortunate that there are not many of them. When we stopped the squad from charging, we used them up. After that, we managed to put the ladder on the walls of the City of Light. He also used gunpowder to blow up half of the city gates and entered the city. ”
Zhang Wuji asked curiously at this time: "How did they rout?" I've heard Xiao Zhao mention before that in your most recent battle, more than 3,000 people died. ”
Wang Baobao corrected at this time: "It's not three thousand, counting those who were trampled on during the rout and died of serious injuries, as well as those who rushed out of the Ming Sect and were killed before they had time to escape, we suffered more than 5,000 casualties in that battle." ”
"What!?" Zhang Wuji exclaimed.
Wang Baobao continued: "And he was killed by one person. That man was Hoga. I got a kick in the chest, and that's why I got hurt like this. Strangely enough, however, she did not kill me, but continued to purge the soldiers who had invaded the city, and finally I endured the pain and ordered the withdrawal of the army. If we hadn't run fast, I'm afraid the vanguard would have folded there. ”
Then Wang Baobao talked in detail about the battle that day.
Everything had gone well, but two ladders had been erected on the city walls, and the city gates had been blown open, and three hundred advance cavalry had entered the city and began their slaughter.
Moreover, many Mongol soldiers have already made the old mistake, that is, plundering their own spoils.
Many soldiers rushed in and began to arrest the female disciples of the Persian Ming Sect. Some are impatient, and even despite the fact that they are still fighting, they have already started their bestiality.
At that time, Wang Baobao took the lead and had no intention of purging military discipline.
He still remembered that he was about to kill the Great Cloud Bright Temple in Bright City with his people. Just as everyone was about to rush forward and annihilate the Mingjiao people in Guangming City in one fell swoop, the woman appeared.
Huojia kicked and shattered the gate of the main hall, and then the gate of the main hall turned into countless sawdust and flew out, and the flying sawdust directly stabbed many Mongolian soldiers who came forward. If it weren't for Wang Baobao's personal guards to protect him, I'm afraid that Wang Baobao would have died on that blow.
