217 Burning Charm Stopper
The clay pot is filled with fire oil, and Xiong Wuliang's purpose is clearly revealed-he wants to burn the talisman and leave the plug!
The so-called fire oil, also known as 'fierce fire oil', is the untreated oil of later generations.
When this thing burns, it can easily produce highly toxic gases - so it seems unlikely to be of any use other than military use. Of course, even in military terms, this thing is of little use.
It is generally used for soaking torches, lighting at night, and so on.
In very special cases, it can also be used for fire attack.
But - Xiong Wuliang's current catapult throwing fire pot technique is the first time everyone has seen it!
In the Warring States period, the quantity of oil was not large, and it was very difficult to mine, so it was very expensive.
And the contemporary catapult β as we all know, is impressively accurate...... It's all up to luck.
In the past, if you want to use such a fire attack effect, even if you have mountains of gold and silver, it is not enough for catapults to squander.
But Xiong Wuliang made the impossible possible!
The reason is simple - the catapults produced in the fiefdom are extremely accurate.
And Xiong Wuliang is rich! Ostentatious!
Hundreds of cans of fire oil, easy and spicy......
Seeing the first salvo of more than 200 clay pots, more than seventy percent of which smashed on the head of Fu Lisai City, Xiong Wuliang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand silently.
Shaohu immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Throw the fireball!" β
The sergeants made a ball of the flinching object that had been prepared for the time, and after igniting it, they also threw it far away with a catapult.
These things are inaccurate because they are inconsistent in size, shape, and weight.
But it doesn't matter at the moment.
As long as one of them can hit the head of the city......
Sure enough, a few fireballs smashed into the city, causing a sky-high fire in an instant!
Rumble!
The flames spread rapidly, and the entire city was enveloped in flames.
Billowing black smoke rose into the sky.
At the head of the city, Song Jun's joking laughter and scolding disappeared in an instant, replaced by a terrible scream......
Fu left the head of the city, and the fire soared to the sky.
The Song soldiers roared and struggled helplessly in the sea of fire, and some of the soldiers were contaminated with fire oil, and the fire burned fiercely but not extinguished, and continued to burn.
Seeing the figure of a Song pawn with fire on his body struggling and writhing, he fell from the city in severe pain...... After smashing to the ground, the flames were still burning violently on his motionless body.
There is no suspense - all the Song troops who did not have time to leave the city wall were all buried in the fire.
The cheers of the Chu army stopped abruptly, as if they were choked by the neckβthey were also frightened by such a tragic situation.
How to extinguish the burning of oil is an almost unsolvable problem even in later generations.
Sand and gravel cover to extinguish fire? When the crude oil is completely burned, the core temperature can reach even thousands of degrees β even the sand and gravel can be scorched.
Want to extinguish it with water? Unfortunately, oil is lighter than water, and it will float on the surface of the water and continue to burn - but because of the flow of water, the fire will spread faster.
At the same time, when the oil is not burned sufficiently, a large amount of hot toxic gases will be produced.
Even in the future after 2,000 years, when it comes to oil burning, the only way is to wait quietly, waiting for all the combustible things to be burned out, and then to watch the fire slowly extinguish......
β¦β¦
King Song was lucky, and he broke his bones and tendons, and jumped from the top of the city, which was able to avoid the sea of fire.
At this moment, his face contorted, and he looked at the city wall behind him in horror.
It was already a purgatory-like scene.
Zhao Rat also jumped downβbut he was stained with raging flames, and he screamed and screamed miserably, stumbling towards Song Wangyan.
The two Song guards decisively raised their hands and took arrows, and several arrows shot over, and Zhao Rat ended his pain and fell to the ground softly, without a sound.
On his corpse, the fire was still burning.
"King, don't stay here for long!" A Praetorian Guard said loudly.
Song Wangyan's face turned pale, he could barely speak, and was hurriedly dragged away by the guards.
There were also fierce Song pawns who rushed forward to try to put out the fire at the risk of death - but they couldn't connect to the flames - even the burning temperature on the periphery far exceeded the limit of what humans could bear.
"Withdraw...... Withdraw! The soldiers howled.
"The King...... The kings are gone, let's go too! β
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot all those who have fire on them! β
The entire Fu Lisai, whether it was on or inside the city wall, was a mess.
β¦β¦
The faces of the fields turned white with fright!
His pupils glowed with red flames, and his face was full of shock and consternation!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fu Lisai is already in the bag of the Chu army.
When the Chu army will take the Fuli Fortress only depends on how long the vicious flames on the city will burn......
Who would have thought that the Chu army would use such brutal and bizarre means to forcibly take down Fu Lisai?
That's how you play...... Not to mention Fu Lisai, even the king of Qi Linzi may not be able to withstand it...... Thinking of this, Tian Di's face turned a little paler.
Now Xiong Wuliang is about to invade the territory of the Song Kingdom.
Once he is allowed to swallow the Song State, he will continue to attack the Qi State......
Can Qi State withstand it?
The disaster of destroying the country!
β¦β¦
Zhao Slip showed admiration on his face, and seemed to have no sympathy for the tragic situation in front of him: "Congratulations to the lord, you have successfully won the Fu Lisai!" β
"Our Chu army has such means of breaking the city...... In the future, even if there are natural and dangerous barriers, it will be difficult to stop the sovereign's conquest. β
Xiong Wuliang shook his head slightly, and ordered softly: "The three armies retreat back - ten miles." β
"Wait for the flames to be extinguished and the poisonous smoke to dissipate, and then settle in the Fu Lisai."
Although the effect of the oil tank and the standard catapult is remarkable, Xiong Wuliang does not plan to use this method of warfare as a regular means in the future.
On the one hand, it is because of the high price of kerosene.
On the other hand, it is also this kind of method that is really 'hurtful to the heavens and the peace'.
It is important to know that after the oil is burned, a large area of land will be polluted, and there will be no grain for decades.
What is the use of taking such land? It's just a burden.
If it weren't for the need to quickly capture Fu Lisai, plus Xiong Wuliang's hatred for King Song...... Nor would he use such a weapon of mass destruction here, which will cause endless consequences.
The Chu army waited outside the city for two hours before it was fully confirmed that the poisonous smoke had dissipated and the flames had been extinguished.
Shaohu gave an order: "Hong Shi's thousand-man team, enter the city!" β
Hong Shishi, who had already been promoted to a thousand-man general for his merits, received the order loudly and strode forward with the thousand-man team behind him - without any hindrance or resistance.
Hong Shi climbed to the top of the city, and there were no severed limbs and stumps and blood flowing here as he imagined. In fact, the scene here is something that Hong Shi could not have dreamed of.
At this moment, in the thousand-strong team behind him, many of the Chu soldiers were already pale and retched-
At the head of the city, it was scorched black, and even the city bricks seemed to have been burned into powder - there were no complete corpses, and there were no weapons and armor that could be captured, but there was molten iron on the ground that seemed to have solidified, and the left and right were embedded in the city, presumably the weapons in the hands of the Song soldiers.
Even a soldier like Hong Shi, who has been in battle for a long time and kills people like numbness, will inevitably feel physically unwell at this moment.
He forcibly suppressed the feeling of vomiting and rebuked loudly: "What are you vomiting on? No matter how tragic the Song people died, it was still much better than our brother Pao Ze dying at the hands of the Song people's arrows! β
"Go, pass the message to the lord - there are no Song soldiers guarding the Fu Li Sai, please enter the city!"
