Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The ancient folks also used to describe fierce fire oil as "a kind of water that can be used to burn".

Fierce oil, what is this liquid that can be used to burn?

When Steward Yu mentioned it to Guo Ye, Guo Ye's eyes lit up. Isn't this shit just oil?

That's why Guo Ye asked Guanshi Yu to come to Cao Luxun's side so simply and unconditionally to help him use the fire oil with the bed crossbow, so as to maximize the destructive power and efficacy of the bed crossbow.

As for how to effectively use the fierce fire oil and the bed crossbow, Guo Ye had advised Yu Guanshi earlier.

Steward Yu took a look at Cao Luxun's expression and said in surprise, "It seems that General Cao knows something about Menghuoyou? The general's erudition surprised the old man, haha."

Cao Luxun shook his head, said a word of praise, and then asked with some puzzlement: "Then what does this fierce fire oil have to do with the bed crossbow projecting the crossbow gun?"

Speaking of this, Cao Luxun suddenly remembered a detail about Guanshi Yu and the others just now, and suddenly understood and asked: "Just now you soaked all the rags in a wooden barrel, and then wrapped the crossbow gun tightly Another circle, could it be that you want to use the rags and tattered cotton wool to ignite the fire oil hidden in it... and then use the bed crossbow to throw it at the enemy ships on the Blackwater River? The purpose is to burn... Burn the boat?"

In the end, Cao Luxun was shocked by this whimsical but not impossible idea!

"Hey, General Cao is really powerful, and you guessed one or two again."

Guanshi Yu still had a smile on his face, and said: "The old man just discovered the fierce fire oil. The person who really came up with this earth-shattering plan is not the old man, but Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo said that today's battle can be done." We can learn from the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it really has the same effect."

"Battle of Red Cliff??"

Cao Luxun muttered a few words to himself, as if he understood, he exclaimed and nodded again and again in praise: "God, it turned out that Cao Wei's boat was set on fire during the Battle of Chibi, like, really like..."

Chapter 1092 Fire Meteor

Once Cao Luxun thought about it, he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his brow bone, and looked at the enemy ships that were gathering in formation on the Heishui River.

I saw nearly a hundred enemy ships approaching slowly, hull to hull, forming a line formation on the surface of the Heishui River. As far as the naked eye could see, almost a hundred river boats were closely connected as one.

Fire attack! ! !

These two words flashed in Cao Luxun's mind instantly, and a scene of a sea of ​​fire appeared in his mind at the same time.

I saw Guanshi Yu pointed at the enemy ships that were gathering formation and continued to explain: "General Cao, look, the river boats of the White Lotus Sect are all made of wood, and most of them are sailing. On the canvas, on the deck, on the mast of these river boats, hey... what will happen? It is bound to be ignited, and then with the help of the river wind, the fire will start a prairie fire, and these river boats will be closely connected... ..."

"Boat to boat, the wind is blowing tightly, and the fire is spreading...hahaha..."

Cao Luxun understood Guanshi Yu's explanation in this way, and immediately looked up to the sky and smiled and said, "Wonderful, really wonderful! Guanshi Yu, you are still better at it. Come on, let's learn how to burn fire." Three hundred miles away from Red Cliff, burn all the river boats that rebel bandits and cults first."

Manager Yu put on a smile, waved his hands modestly and said: "The old man is not considered to be highly skilled, hehe, the old man is just picking up the wisdom of his predecessors. If you want to talk about a clever plan to secure the world, it is Mr. Guo, the Duke of Pingyang County! "

"Extremely extreme." Cao Luxun corrected again and again, "I have heard from Duke Wei that Mr. Guo has never followed the rules in marching and fighting. He often uses surprises and tricks. Today, someone Cao has seen it."

After finishing speaking, Cao Luxun suddenly waved to several black-armored Xuan soldiers nearby, and ordered: "Pass down this general's order, and from now on, Guanshi Yu will temporarily take command of this general, and all soldiers of the Black-armored Xuanbing Battalion will obey Yu Do you understand the order and command of the steward?"

"Here!"

Several black-armored Xuan soldiers ran to the bed crossbow defense line to convey Cao Luxun's order.

When Guanshi Yu heard about it, he hurriedly handed over his hands and gave in, with a flattered look, he repeatedly praised: "The black armored Xuanbing is the most elite soldier in our Tang army, how dare the old man usurp his power and exercise the power of command for you, General Cao?" Woolen cloth?"

For Cao Luxun to hand over the command so generously, let alone Guanshi Yu, even the bystander Cheng Erniu was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Cao Luxun was as determined as he was, and said without rejection: "Guard Yu, this general speaks the truth. Just feel free to command boldly. If there is something that needs someone from Cao, feel free to speak up." Yes. From now until the enemy ships are driven back, the [-] brothers in the Heijiaxuan Brigade, including this general, will obey your orders."

This was really a low profile statement. Before Manager Yu came, he thought he was here to help out, but he didn't expect that Cao Luxun would give up the entire command power to himself. This was beyond his expectation.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

"Report-"

A black-armored black soldier rushed over from the bed crossbow defense line, ran to Cao Luxun, and shouted in a hurry: "The enemy ships have assembled, and a hundred enemy ships are pressing in on the shore of our army's ferry in a line formation. Dare to ask my lord, do you want to use the bed crossbow to block again?"

Cao Luxun squinted his eyes and glanced at the surface of the Heishui River, but no, hundreds of river boats were advancing side by side, and they were rushing towards this side in a line formation.A hundred scattered river boats are now closely gathered together, approaching this way like a huge monster, the momentum is very scary.

Immediately, Cao Luxun's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly to Steward Yu: "Boss Yu, the enemy ships have already started moving this way, and the battle is imminent, so you don't have to refuse any more. From now on, three thousand black-armored profound soldiers , and this general will be under your command and dispatch. I hope that you and I will cooperate sincerely to repel the hundreds of enemy ships in front of us and hold this first line of defense."

Now that the situation is pressing, and Guanshi Yu is not the kind of person who doesn't care about priorities, Cao Luxun is talking about this again. If he refuses again, he will be a bit pedantic and inflexible.

Immediately, he nodded and said hello, then turned around and waved to a disciple of Fenglei Hall not far away, and shouted: "Shuanzi, you go and inform our brothers in Fenglei Hall, from now on our brothers in Fenglei Hall Take over the bed crossbow, let the brothers hold the torches and be responsible for controlling the bed crossbow to project."

Having said that, he turned his head and said to Cao Luxun: "As for the brothers in the Heijiaxuan Brigade, we can only temporarily wrong them to be responsible for supplying crossbow guns to load the bed crossbow. General Cao, what do you want..."

"no problem!"

Cao Luxun agreed without hesitation, and then recruited a black-armored black soldier to repeat what Guanshi Yu said just now, and then told them: "Tell them, the order of Yu Guanshi is the order of this general. If anyone dares to secretly disobey the order Either the positive obeys the negative and the negative is violated, or the war is delayed due to slack and slack, hum, it will definitely be punished!!"

At this time, Cheng Erniu was not dawdling anymore, and said goodbye to the two of them, "I'm going back to the tower right now, and report the situation here to my brother-in-law."

After all, he ran away from the ferry alone and returned to the tower.

After a while, one after another news from the forward position reached the ears of Cao Luxun and Yu Guanshi.

"Report...the enemy warship has sailed to the middle of the Heishui River."

"Report... the enemy warships continue to approach our army."

"Report...the enemy warships have not disassembled at all, they have been tightly connected as one, less than two hundred steps away from our army's bed crossbow defense line."

"almost!"

Guanshi Yu and Cao Luxun spit out four words in unison, and they looked at each other with a smile, then Cao Luxun resolutely remained silent and did not exceed his authority.

On the other hand, Guanshi Yu hurriedly ordered to the orderling: "Order all the disciples of Fenglei Hall to ignite the crossbow spears immediately and start shooting continuously. If there is no order from a certain family, there should be no interruption in the middle."

All of a sudden, there were crowds of people on the defense line of the Hundred Bed Crossbow, and they divided their labors.

The Black Armored Xuanbing was in charge of supplying the crossbow guns wrapped in rags and stuffed with tattered cotton, while the disciples of Fenglei Hall were in charge of lighting the crossbow guns and launching the bed crossbows. While the torches were flickering, the first round of bed crossbows had already begun to project...

A hundred flaming crossbow guns had already come out of their chambers, galloping towards the group of enemy ships at the fastest speed, falling on the enemy ships like bolides with scoffing flames.

Or on the canvas, or on the deck, or on the mast, a little ignition will gradually spread the fire.

What's more, he directly hit the bandit army on the ship, and the crossbow shot through his chest, setting him on fire.

The bandit soldiers who were shot with crossbows screamed in pain, and fled on the boat like a ball of fire dancing.

The first round of the bed crossbow's projection had the effect of deterring the bandits, and immediately attracted a sensation from the black-armored black soldiers on the defense line. After cheering, Guanshi Yu shouted loudly:

"Continue to shoot without stopping, and don't let the bandits have another chance to breathe."

Another round of bolides was projected towards the group of enemy ships.
