Liu Zheng and Qin Changfeng walked out of the door together.
Then he saw the excitement on Jiang Xuan's face: "Quickly, follow Jiang Xu!"
The two of them didn't know why, so they followed him.
Jiang Xuan ran along the way and led the two of them to a place that looked like a stable where Yanqi kept his war horses. Then he went through the hall and came to the back of the horse farm. At the door of a stable, Yinzhou, who was heavily guarded, was already standing.
military.
When Liu Zheng saw this situation, he frowned.
"Brother, come and see!"
The three of them walked into the stable together and saw a tunnel under the stable. This tunnel was originally covered by weeds. There were steps under the tunnel. It seemed that the space below was quite small.
A soldier had already handed over a torch, and Jiang Xuan led the two of them down.
There is a small tunnel entrance, but there is a whole other world underneath.
After walking up the steps, Liu Zheng and Qin Changfeng were stunned.
Good guy.
What is stored in this entire tunnel is actually Quelehodo! That is, oil!
"this......"
Liu Zheng was shocked all over.
Qin Changfeng was also overjoyed and said: "Sir, this is a good thing!"
Only then did Jiang Xuan talk about this matter. Originally, the stables and war horses had been taken away by the retreating Yanqi Army. They didn't care much about it. However, the Yinzhou Army's war horses still needed to eat. Jiang Xuan
I thought about letting the Yinzhou Army use this horse farm. Just after they moved in, a soldier discovered this tunnel.
At a glance.
There are tens of thousands of barrels of Quelehodo!
Jiang Xuan still remembers how many casualties these damn Quelehodo caused to the Yinzhou Army when he was in Che Division. On the contrary, if these Quelehodo became the Yinzhou Army, what would happen?
Can't we deal with the enemy in the same way?
"Okay, okay, I really made a fortune!"
Liu Zheng was also very happy.
It seems that these Quelehuoduo are the inventory of the Yanqi army. Maybe they have never thought that the chariot division will be defeated within three days, and the general Jiulong will die in the battle, or no one knows at all.
There are so many good things hidden, or they retreated too hastily and forgot to take them with them.
Why is Liu Zheng excited?
Because this thing is simply a weapon of war!
actually.
Things like oil have been discovered long ago in ancient China. "There is fire in the lake" refers to oil. However, oil in ancient times was not mined, but overflowed. In other words, oil was not mined but overflowed.
, the use of petroleum by ancient people was limited to "using it as soon as it was brought", and they did not refine it at all.
There were only a few uses of oil in ancient times.
Used for lighting, lubricating oil, ink making, medicine, and last but not least, military warfare!
During the Five Dynasties, flamethrowers using iron cylinders to spray pyro oil appeared and were used to burn warships.
Kang Yu of the Song Dynasty said in "Yesterday Meng Lu": "For the liquid produced by the heat of the stone baked by the sun, large pools were dug in the northwest border city warehouses, more than ten feet long and horizontal, to store the fierce fire oil and use it to defend against the enemy."
Fierce fire oil is oil!
However, the development speed of my country's petroleum technology is extremely slow. After all, at this time, there was no internal combustion engine in the world. Before the emergence of the internal combustion engine, the extraction of oil in any country was simple and crude.
Liu Zheng......
Of course, he won't either.
He doesn't know how to refine oil, but this oil is the best for fighting wars! You know, the oil reserves in the Western Region are huge.
Doesn't this mean that if you own an oil field, even if you use it to fight, it will scare the enemy!
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Keep it alive, no one is allowed to approach it! Be careful of open flames."
"yes!"
Jiang Xuan was also very excited.
Qin Changfeng also laughed and said: "With this magical object, I'm afraid the Dawan court will be on pins and needles!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
Why is Liu Zheng so excited?
Some people say that if you want fire attack, wouldn't gunpowder be better?
You must know that in the Chinese civilization, in the late Tang Dynasty, there was a precedent for the use of gunpowder in warfare. In the Song Dynasty, there were troops specializing in the use of gunpowder.
However......
Pay attention to this.
However.
Gunpowder, one of China's four great inventions, indeed leads the world in technology. But why can't it replace cold weapons? In fact, the reason is very simple.
Because Chinese muskets do not have advanced ignition technology, and the rate of fire of the muskets is extremely low. It takes an average of two minutes to fire one round. The processes of charging, loading, compacting, igniting, cleaning gunpowder residues, etc. take a very long time. More
What's serious is that everyone needs to bring a match rope and a gunpowder bag, so if they are not properly kept, it is extremely easy to cause a fire.
in addition.
In terms of power, Chinese gunpowder is black gunpowder. As we all know, black gunpowder is inferior to the later yellow gunpowder in terms of power and stability. Even the bullets of muskets at that time could not penetrate armor at all, and their power was even far away.
Far inferior to sharp and heavy bows and arrows.
"Xu Guangqi Collection" says: "There are many bright lights and heavy armors, but the short blunderbuss cannot penetrate them!"
