Chapter 125: Falling into the Well

Oil is the artery of industry, but China was one of the first countries in the world to discover and use oil.

The earliest mention of oil was the Eastern Han Dynasty minister Ban Gu, who recorded in the "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" that the Western Han Dynasty Shangjun "Gao Nu has water and is combustible." ”

It's just that later it failed to start industrialization, and the use of oil is very shallow, and the most common way to use it is burning. Even the surface oil was wasted, and it was labeled an "oil-poor country" during the Republic of China.

Therefore, at this time, the official army used oil to attack Li Gui, which was absolutely reasonable, and there was no sense of disobedience.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the military workshops of the government's handicraft industry began to use oil as raw materials for "asphalt work" and "fierce fire oil work".

When fighting with the enemy, the Song army sprayed the fierce fire oil with mechanical devices such as "cylinder cabinets" and "fire cans", which was not small.

In addition, people also use oil in steelmaking, medicine, ink making, etc.

For example, Shen Kuo's description of "Weishui" in Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Writings" in the Northern Song Dynasty: "If you know that its smoke can be used, try to sweep its smoke as ink, black light is like lacquer, and pine ink is not as good as it, and this thing will be popular in the world." ”

It is said that Shen Kuo's "petroleum ink" was greatly appreciated by Su Shi, an ink-making expert at the time, and it can be described as superior.

Shen Kuo not only put forward the name "oil", but also believed that oil was "born in the sand and gravel of the north", "mixed with spring water, and came out of confusion", and made a prediction that "oil is at most, born in the earth infinitely", and "this thing will be great in the world in the future".

The officers and soldiers encountered this time were obviously prepared in advance, and they were fishing nets and tripping horses, and they were very well prepared, even if they brought more oil and other firearms, it was also very reasonable.

If it weren't for Ghost Li's exaggeration, I'm afraid he would have been planted here.

Now the general of the army saw that the stone cannon could not stop Ghost Li, so he lured him closer, and then sent a sergeant with strong arms to throw a crockpot full of oil.

Even if Ghost Li doesn't block it with an axe, this crockpot will be broken when it hits the ground, and it will still be effective.

This group of red-armored soldiers is clearly trained for a long time, and their projection is very orderly, and the landing points are relatively even.

I only heard the "crackling" sound, but in an instant, Li Ghost saw that the ground around him was already covered with oil, and the smell of rotten eggs was everywhere, and he was disgusted when he smelled it.

Then, only to hear a gong in the military formation, the original rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and a new batch of red-armored archers replaced them, and a dense number of rockets came when they raised their hands.

As soon as the rocket landed, all the oil was ignited, and Ghost Li was lit into a human-shaped torch, within a radius of 100 zhang, like hell on earth, and flames were steaming everywhere.

The people who were watching from a distance behind them were not worried about the safety of Ghost Li, but when they suddenly saw a strange change, they were in a hurry, and hurriedly urged them to step forward and prepare to save people.

But I heard Ghost Li roar in the steaming flames:

"You don't have to come here!"

"I can handle it!"

I saw that the humanoid torch not only did not fall, but also threw off its stride and continued to rush towards the main formation of the officers and soldiers.

He was covered with oil flames, and everywhere he went, the oil dripped from his own burning, and with each step, a more flame footprint came out of the ground.

Ghost Li is like this now, it is just like Zhu Rong came to life, the god of fire was resurrected, and even this group of soldiers who played with fire all year round couldn't help but be shaken in their hearts and were in turmoil.

The commanding generals on the side of the official army did not stop, and there was another bang, and a group of black-armored soldiers came up again, but what they held in their hands was not bows and arrows, but bamboo-like things.

They aimed the bamboo tube at Ghost Li, and pushed the machine wider, and the waterlines shot at Ghost Li.

This waterline is very thin, the amount of water is very small, as soon as it encounters fire, it will immediately transpire into gas, roll up with oil droplets and float in the air, oil and water mixed together, and be burned by the fire, and instantly form a "deflagration".

With a bang, a shock wave rose on the spot, lifting Ghost Li out a few feet away and falling heavily to the ground.

This is the first time since the start of the war that Ghost Li has been deflated.

There was a commotion on both sides, staring closely at the figure on the ground, their weapons clenched in both hands, ready to respond.

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw Ghost Li rolling on the ground, regardless of the size of the flames on his body, he got up and scolded angrily:

"Thief Bird!"

"With this kind of subordinate, it is not the son of man!"

"If the temperature is several times higher, maybe you can refine grandpa, if you only have this temperature, it is only enough for grandpa to steam a sauna!"

Everyone didn't know what the so-called sauna was, but when they heard that Ghost Li was attacked by this, they were all unscathed, and this party suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Ghost Li was still that pervert, and this kind of attack couldn't hurt him, it didn't look like a human being at all, maybe it was really a god-killing star.

Li Gui's performance was too exaggerated, and the military morale on the side of the official army immediately floated, and the general who led the army sighed and was about to order the withdrawal of the army, but suddenly saw Li Gui bend down violently and gasp and cough.

The general was overjoyed and cried out:

"He was injured by the flames, but he was only able to support himself!"

"Take advantage of his illness and kill him!"

"Don't miss the opportunity, keep attacking, don't stop!"

The army was also in good spirits, and threw the oil crockpot again, trying to repeat the previous method.

The general didn't know, but Ghost Li was not burned by the fire, he was choked.

Since the star position was born, Ghost Li has not only become stronger, but also has excellent five senses, and his physical fitness has also been reborn.

Now Ghost Li's flame resistance is extremely high, even if he jumps into the magma to take a bath, it is not a big problem.

However, the combustion of oil will produce a large amount of toxic exhaust gases, as well as all kinds of gray smoke, although it does not poison him, but the rejection reaction of the lungs makes him very uncomfortable.

And it exploded once just now, and the surrounding oxygen was exhausted, and the oxygen outside was not replenished for a while, and he yelled there again, and the result was ...... Lack of oxygen!

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were doing their tricks again, this time Li Gui did not sit still, he picked up the hot double axe, opened the bow left and right, and slammed forward, and the huge plate axe rotated into the fan blades of a fan, carrying the sound of wind and thunder, and was involved in the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

Such a huge secret weapon was thrown out by Ghost Li, and the effect was also excellent.

Everywhere the plate axe passed, two flesh and blood alleys suddenly appeared in the ranks of the officers and soldiers, and there was a miserable howl.

Taking advantage of the restlessness of the officers and soldiers, Ghost Li leaned down, kicked the ground with both feet, stepped out of two deep pits on the spot, and sprinted forward.

Without the burden of the double axe, he was extremely fast, stepped out of a sand and stone tornado on the ground, and with the flames on his body, he crashed straight into the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

Who knew that as soon as Li Gui stepped into the military formation, there was an immediate boom, and a flame rose from under his feet, rushing him to his head.

Are you still worried about the balance of power?

Are you still worried that your combat power will collapse?

The era of military generals is about to retire, and it will be the spring of technical generals in the future.

My lord, times have changed!
