Chapter 860: Crude Oil Falls from the Sky
"Dean, don't worry, after we open our eyes today, we will study harder and strive to turn all the things recorded in the book into reality."
"Yes, yes, Dean, we were wrong..."
The sound of admitting his mistake came into Wang Si's ears, and he nodded with great satisfaction. He knew that after going through today's events, the academy's team would be better in the future. He was also even more curious, where did Yang Chendong learn this knowledge, people can actually go to heaven, and it was really something that he couldn't even think about before.
The mercenary side shook, and the warriors fell to their knees. In the city of Taru, the situation seemed to have been replicated, and after seeing the large balloons flying in the sky, the Tatar horsemen knelt on the ground, the archers who had been in ambush knelt on the ground, and even several generals such as Khur fell to the ground.
Even if they are generals, they are uneducated, and they can't even read much in big characters, and their resistance is no different from that of ordinary soldiers in the face of technology that was created hundreds of years later.
Even though these big balloons were floating above their heads, no one thought about what to do with them at the moment, only kowtowing and praying, as if what they were saying now could reach the ears of the gods and become a reality in the near future.
......
Xuanfu City.
After fighting hard for more than a dozen days and nights, Shi Wanshan's eyes were bloodshot under the command of the commander of Wanquan.
He gave up the city of Dalu and retreated to Xuancheng, which put him under great pressure, and he heard that the excerpts of the Northern Ming court were already as high as a hill, and some people directly put forward a request for a change of general, to escort him back to Kyoto to be tried and punished.
Fortunately, at a critical time, Deng Qiang, the eunuch guarding the town, stood firmly on his side, and the connections he had maintained for so many years also played a certain role, and finally he played a twist and turn, indicating that within a month, not only could the Xuanfu be fine, but also the answer to Lu Cheng could be re-answered, and the pressure was much less.
But only he knew how helpless he was when he went to that loop. Although this seems to be a promise to him by the loyal and courageous father, but through Yu Can's mouth, he really can't let go of this little-known little person.
Betting his net worth and life and future on a little person who met for the first time, sometimes even Shi Wanshan thought about it himself, it was too ridiculous, and his original behavior was too bold.
Fortunately, this can has always followed his side, even after following him to Xuanfu together, he is very cooperative to live in the small courtyard arranged by him, but during the day, he goes to the streets, wanders around, and never taboos the Beiming soldiers who secretly follow behind him.
Yu Can does not escape, this is also the only place where Shi Wanshan can be gratified. I thought that there would be some time before the January period, and Yu Can would meet the real chapter whether he was alive or dead, but he never thought that this person would take the initiative to meet him early this morning.
Shi Wanshan was still very curious about Yu Can's initiative to ask to see him, and in the small courtyard, he saw this young man who looked mediocre, but was very calm at any time and time.
In the small courtyard, as soon as the two sides met, Yu Can said something that shocked Shi Wanshan, "Commander, today is the time for you to counterattack and seize Lucheng." ”
Counting it, Yu Can appeared in front of him a total of three times. The first time he appeared, he told him to tell him the words of the loyal and courageous prince, and asked him to withdraw from the city of Taru; The second time was without waiting for his order, and came to Xuanfu with him. And now, it is the third time they have met, but as soon as they speak, they also shocked Shi Wanshan.
"Mr. Yu, what do you mean by this?" Although Shi Wanshan thought that he had the style of a general and was quite calm in trouble, he had to admit that when facing Yu Can, he was still surprised once and better than once.
That's what I just said. There will be great changes in the city of Dalu today, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the order to withdraw the troops will be heard. It could be tonight or early tomorrow morning. The commander just needs to be prepared. Yu Can's expression was as usual, as if he was saying something very ordinary, and he said these words word by word.
The more calm Yu Can was, the more surprised Shi Wanshan was in his heart. The last time was in the besieged Dalu City, the other party said that he came on the order of the loyal and courageous prince, this time Xuancheng was also very besieged, and any information could not be leaked at will, and this person came with the order of the loyal and courageous prince, which had to make Shi Wanshan suspicious.
"Mr. Yu, but I don't know where you got the news from, is it accurate?" Shi Wanshan asked somewhat tentatively. I'm really too curious about this person's ability to know the world without leaving the city.
"This is news from the Loyal Courage, and there must be no falsehood. As for the source, I'm sorry, I have nothing to comment on without an order. Well, the news has arrived, and I ask the commander to get ready, that is, I will come to the barracks after dinner today, and if the situation in the army is still the same by tomorrow morning, I will sacrifice myself at that time, and I will not bother the commander. With a calm face, it seemed that life and death had long been put aside, and after saying this, Yu Can turned around and left.
didn't give others a chance to ask him questions, just left Shi Wanshan with a thoughtful and extremely mysterious back.
said that Yu Can was talking nonsense, but people took out the head of Xiang as a guarantee. But if the other party is right, where does the news come from?
Shi Wanshan, who couldn't figure it out and couldn't figure it out, shook his head after a long time, and then said to the soldiers outside the courtyard: "Quick, go and call Gonggong Deng, General Gu, and General Ning to the mansion." ”
......
In the sky above the city of Alu, ten hot air balloons that were moving with the wind had already appeared, and they deliberately lowered their altitude, just above a hundred meters, when a bow shot was far away, they began to throw the closed and sturdy wooden barrels that had been prepared long ago from the sky to the ground.
At a distance of more than 100 points, some people with particularly good eyesight can already vaguely see the scene on the balloon, can see some figures moving, and even can see the bright and wind-waving five-star military flags.
"What's going on? How do I seem to see the banner of a mercenary? ”
"yes, yes, I think I saw that."
"What? How is this possible..."
"Oh my God, it can't be that even Changshengtian is a mercenary."
"Ahh If this is the case, then we are not disobedient when we are enemies of the mercenaries..."
No one said what was going to happen, but everyone knew what they were going to say. Even the Immortal Heaven is also interested in mercenaries, so in this case, isn't what they are doing against the sky?
The Tatar iron cavalry, who had no scientific knowledge, were feudal in their hearts, and believed in gods, had already turned pale on their faces, and the morale of the 20,000 troops was shaken.
At some point, General Ku Po'er had already stood up, and it was obvious that he had become suspicious of these large balloons flying in the sky.
He had heard the old man say about the gods, and even in various legends, there were also things about the apparitions of the gods. But most of them can no longer be examined, and when asked about the parties, the answers are also ambiguous, making it impossible not to believe it, and not to believe it all.
It's just that in all kinds of legends, I haven't heard any of the gods incarnated into big balloons. Now when he heard the soldier say that there were people moving on the big balloon, and that there were mercenary flags, he became even more suspicious.
Even the first reaction was that this should be a trick made by mercenaries. But how do they do it? How could you send something that big to the sky? This seems to be a non-human thing, right?
The voices of the soldiers did not avoid the meaning of him, the great general, and many words could be heard very clearly, and because of this, his expression became more and more ugly. The morale of the army is so shaken, if the mercenaries attack now, how much combat power can they have?
When she suddenly felt that the situation was not good, she felt a little chill in her heart. There was finally movement on the balloon, and things began to be thrown downward, and barrels fell from the air and flew straight down into the city of Taru. Open.... Poof..."
Every time it fell, there was a loud thud, and then the barrel burst, and a puff of crude oil flowed through the city, filling the air with some of the harsh smells.
Falling from a high altitude, the large balloon has been moving slowly, so that every time it falls, the barrel falls at a different point, and the liquid in those barrels is everywhere. It was even more unfortunate that it fell on the top of the soldiers' heads, if it weren't for the fact that they saw the opportunity to flash quickly, I am afraid that after this smash, it is very likely that they will be stoned to death directly.
Even though the people were not smashed, the liquid in the barrel inevitably spilled on them. When the soldiers came into close contact with this liquid, some experienced and well-informed veterans immediately said, "Hey, how does this smell like crude oil?" ”
"This is crude oil, it has appeared on the grassland before, this thing can't see fire, otherwise once it ignites, it can't be extinguished even if you want to." Another older soldier made an affirmative look.
"What? Crude? Ku'er's face suddenly turned frighteningly white, and he instantly thought of the word fire attack, and then the whole person jumped up and shouted loudly, "Everyone pay attention, stay away from the fire, no fire can be seen in the city, no fire can be seen." ”
Ku'er's reaction was still very fast, but unfortunately, in the face of an unknown amount of crude oil falling from the sky, such a shout could not prevent the tragedy that happened next. Especially when a wooden barrel was falling next to the military room, a fire suddenly rose, and all of a sudden, the nearby area was dyed red.
