Chapter 382 The Offensive of the Attack (2)
"Report to the general, our army's vanguard has entered the tung oil factory in Hanfu County, and there is no one inside."
"Oh? How is the layout in the tung oil factory? Is there a lot of tung oil dispersed?"
"We have carefully investigated it and there is indeed a small amount of tung oil remaining, but it is estimated that it is less than three stones."
"Well, it seems that the Shu thieves have given up here a long time ago. Guan Weizhi is also a person who can let go. He sent an order to carefully clean the tung oil factory and make sure that there are no fire-induced objects around the factory."
"promise!"
"Another order, the front army will have a rest on site. After the vanguard troops clear out the safe area, the front army will set up camp near the Tung Oil Factory tonight."
"promise!"
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Lu Kang and others who had been resting for a night in uneasy were finally waiting for the sunrise.
Even so, the central army led by Zhang Zheng has already caught up.
"General, what will happen next for our army?"
"Well..." Lu Kang said it a little tooth-pained. Our army has been in Fuling County for more than ten days, but no one of the enemy's main force or a small unit established was seen. Although the civilians in charge of logistics this time were three times that of the war soldiers. But the civilians also had to have a meal. As our logistics line extended, the pressure on the supply of food became increasingly greater.
"Well, Xiang Cheng, how far is the cement factory of Fuxing Society you mentioned?"
"If you go back to the general, you will start from here and walk the 130-mile mountain road northwest to the northwest to the cement factory of Fuxing Society."
"Hiss~ Isn't that another three or five days away?" After listening to the guide's explanation, Lu Kang had a toothache, but then he thought of the perverted turtle shell in Yong'an. He still made up his mind: "Ji Yang, go and rectify the front army and prepare to set off."
"General Shangda really wants to attack the cement factory of the Sichuan thieves?"
"Well, everyone, although this tung oil factory is large in scale, this technology is not unique to Shu thieves. So it is not a big impact on Shu thieves even if the Shu thieves get news in advance, it is difficult to destroy the cement plant to retreat. But the entire production base will inevitably leave traces. As long as our army can get there for careful investigation, they can always find clues. In this way, if our army can master this technology, it will be a great contribution to retreat without fighting. In fact, in my opinion, Guan Weizhi cannot bear the consequences of the leak of cement production technology. As long as we are close enough to there, the enemy will definitely fight us! As long as we win the decisive battle, Fuling County will fall into my hands."
"The last general understands and will go to rectify the troops immediately."
"Well, Zizhong. The place we went this time was the real forbidden ban of Sichuan thieves, so your central army will be closer to me this time. Your troops will follow you after using the prefecture."
"No, General, don't worry, you must follow within three miles of the general."
"Serious." After saying this, Lu Kang looked at the place where the Tung Oil Factory was located: "This place is a rare flat land among the mountains. The trees around have long been cut down by the Sichuan thieves. Therefore, this vision is also very good, and you are not afraid of being attacked by others. The order was sent to Zi Zhan (Lu Shu) of the rear army. His rear army camped and stationed on this base. The food behind was also transported to this place to concentrate!"
"promise!"
With the orders of Lu Kang, the entire Eastern Wu army began to move efficiently. The next day, when Lu Shu's rear army came here, the main force led by Lu Kang, Lu Mu, Zhang Zheng and others had already walked northward for more than fifty miles.
...
"Oh, showing such a flaw finally made the Lu Youjie troops stay long enough."
"The leader of the army, Wu Gou's rear army is indeed far away from his own team. It is not difficult for us to concentrate our troops to annihilate it. But the cement factory..."
"Hehe, Zi Miao, you have been the prefect of Fuling County for several years. Have you ever visited the cement factory on site?"
"Of course I've been there, and Xiaguan has personally completed every link of cement production and has actually operated it."
"This is not the point, it is the terrain on the cement plant."
"Ah~~ The official understands."
Late at night that night, Guan Suo led five thousand Yuanyang formation troops to quietly approach the original Tong Oil Factory, now the logistics base of Dongwu.
There was a small hill to the southeast of the Wu Jun barracks. When they arrived, all the Han army stopped. Then some soldiers took action together, first laying rolling wood on the undulating mountain road, and then gradually pulled up hundreds of large wooden boxes along the track of rolling wood.
"The spearman comes out!"
With Guan Suo's low order, nearly a thousand spearmen from the Yuanyang Array soldiers stood up. They lined up into a solid spear array that looked very well-designed like their comrades in the Salt Gun Array.
After the gun array was set up, some soldiers pulled open the box that they had just pulled up. Then more than one hundred soldiers held torches and pointed toward the wooden box!
Then, in this quiet night sky, the roar of a fierce wild boar suddenly rang!
In these more than a hundred boxes, all of them are filled with wild boars that are very common in the Wuling Mountains!
After these wild boars were captured by the Han army and their nearby natives, they wrapped them with heavy tinder oil at the tail. At this time, the torch reached into the wooden box and poked it inside, and all the wild boars' tails were lit.
At the same time, some soldiers quickly opened the front half of the wooden box. All the wild boars flew out of their respective boxes in an instant.
On the one hand, the opening was the wilderness in front of the hills, and on the other hand, there were thousands of spears closely arranged behind them. So at this time, except for a very small number of furious wild boars who turned around and rushed to the spear formation and were stabbed to death by guns, most of the wild boars followed the mountain and rushed towards the camp where the Wu army was stationed.
"Enemy attack!"
"Archer! Diffuse into the bright light of the fire!"
When the wild boars at the top of the hill let out their first roar, the Wu army guards at the foot of the mountain were already alert. When they saw more than a hundred bright flames approaching their camp at an incredible speed, the archers stationed on the walls also quickly began to diffuse.
Unfortunately, the wild boar is extremely fast in a furious state, and the hit rate is extremely low with such a diffuse. Besides, what if it hits? With the size of the wild boar, dozens of feather arrows are inserted into their body, which hardly affects their speed.
In just a dozen breaths, hundreds of wild boars rushed to the Wu army's camp. It looked like the strong Wu army camp, and dozens of large holes were broken through in a blast.
However, this is just the beginning.
After the wild boar rushing to the front hit the wall at an extremely high speed, part of his neck was broken by huge stress and fell to death on the spot. Then some wild boars continued to rush forward after entering the camp.
This is the camp of the Later Army of the Eastern Wu, but more than a day ago, it was the largest tung oil production base of this era.
The ignition point of tung oil is about 400 degrees Celsius, but the flash point is only 200 degrees. What is the temperature of an ordinary flame? Depending on the type of combustion substance, it is generally between 300 and 400 degrees.
This place where tung oil is produced is located in a small basin in the Wuling Mountains. For safety reasons, this place has extremely strict control over open flames. Around this small basin, all the trees and grasses in more than a mile have been cut down and cleaned up. I am afraid that the molecular density of tung oil in the air is too high. If an open flame is accidentally found, the entire factory will easily burn.
Therefore, when the remaining dozens of wild boars rushed into the Wu army's village with their bright fire tails, they were helped by the rich tung oil molecules in the air. Wherever the wild boars passed, the Wu army's camp and warehouse quickly and violently burned.
It is not just that, in fact, Guansuo asked the workers of the tung oil factory to retreat when the guards retreated. There was still a large amount of finished tung oil here that had not been transferred. All of these tung oils were buried underground.
Finally, as the ground temperature rose, the tung oil underground began to react. And in the second half of the night, with a loud bang, the entire Dongwu camp suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
...
"Hey, I don't know how many Wu Gou are in this camp and how many generals are there? In order to quickly take down these guys, I have thrown in hundreds of tung oil..."
