On the surface, it seems that everyone has similar kerosene, but in fact

Most of Feiqian's kerosene raw materials are petroleum.

The earliest record of the discovery of oil in China comes from the Book of Changes. It is said that there is fire in the lake, and the fire is in the lake. It means that there is fire burning on the water surface. It may be ordinary grease, or it may be oil and gas burning on the water surface. And it can

It is clearly a record of petroleum and is a geographical chronicle of Han Dynasty written by Ban Gu.

His book states that there is flammable water in Gaonu County. Gaonu County refers to the current Yan'an area of ​​Shaanxi Province, and the water is a tributary of Yanhe River. The origin of oil is clearly recorded here, and it is stated that oil is a water-like liquid and can be burned.

combustion.

Later, traces of oil were also discovered in Jiuquan and Yumen areas.

Therefore, it was more convenient in the Han Dynasty. The oil that could be collected directly was basically concentrated in the northwest. That is, it was in the hands of Fei Qian. This made Cao Cao feel itchy just thinking about it. Why can this guy always find some good places?

So what are the raw materials of kerosene for Cao Cao and Sun Quan?

Vegetable and animal oils.

These vegetable oils and animal oils were originally edible. In other words, Fei Qian's use of kerosene bombs was limited by the production of oil, while Cao Cao's kerosene bombs were dug out from between his teeth, making Cao Cao

Under the rule, the already not very wealthy dining table became even worse.

In addition, because Feiqian's fire oil bombs contain petroleum, and petroleum itself is adhesive, its burning effect and lethality are naturally more brutal and terrifying than those of ordinary plant and animal oils.

The painter of Fei Qian's fire oil bombs said that it was the falling of the scorching sun, but Cao Cao's current fire oil bombs did not seem to have the momentum of the scorching sun. To put it simply, it is the difference between small fireballs and large fireballs in magic games. And

The napalm bomb of later generations was probably the meteorite technique.

On the other side of the Lingxian city wall, amid the flames and black smoke, screams continued to be heard, as well as the sound of bricks and tiles collapsing from some houses. In the face of the power of water and fire, personal bravery was nothing to mention.

After several rounds of projection, Cao Cao ran out of kerosene bullets and had to change them to stone bullets.

no way.

That's all. Even vegetable oil and animal oil are limited. After all, Fei Qian's side still accounts for the majority of livestock, while Cao Cao's side has fewer.

Although magic attacks are more terrifying, the damage value of physical attacks is not low either.

It's just that the quality of Cao Cao's catapults was obviously not very good. In just a short time, two of them had their long arms broken, one had its fixed structure falling apart, and another was stuck for some reason and could not rotate.

There were a total of twelve catapults, and four of them broke down within an hour after being put into actual combat. I don’t know whether they should be considered good or terrible.

Even so, under the attack of the catapult, Lingxian was like a ragged man in the cold wind and heavy snow. The only remaining rags could cover the top but not the bottom, so he could only huddle up.

One place, shivering.

Yin Li, who was waiting for the order to attack at the forward position of Ling County, couldn't help but take out his wine gourd from his arms and took a sip to calm down. Then he felt that the dryness of his throat was a little better. He coughed twice and said to the person next to him.

Xia Houjie asked: Colonel Xiahou, when will we go?

Cao Cao's messenger saluted Xia Houjie and then turned away. I don't know if it was because the battlefield was too noisy. Cao Cao's messenger delivered the order close to Xia Houjie's ear, which was slightly different from the previous shouting with his neck pulled at his neck.

.

Although Yin Li felt a little strange, he didn't care about it.

Xia Houjie glanced at Yin Li with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Yin Li thought Xia Houjie was looking at the gourd in his hand, so he smiled and handed over his wine gourd.

Drinking is not allowed in the military.

This is a military regulation, but Yin Li himself is from Mount Tai, and there were no decent regulations before. In addition, Yin Li also likes to drink, so he secretly hid a pot of wine. He didn't want to expose it, but he was caught in front of him.

The scene was so shocking that I forgot about the question for a moment. Xia Houjie was standing aside, and Yin Li opened his mouth to ask, and the smell of alcohol was naturally smelled.

Xia Houjie was stunned for a moment, then smiled, took the wine gourd, raised his head and took a sip, then gave it back to Yin Li, and said: Be careful, you will be caught. Thirty military sticks are not a joke.

Yin Li chuckled and hid the wine gourd, because such a sip of wine made Yin Li feel that he and Xia Houjie were closer. In Yin Li's view, if they can drink together, they are naturally brothers.

Xia Houjie looked at Ling County. When the fire is about to die, it will be your and my turn.

It was also the first time for Xia Houjie to see this kind of scene before him.

Yin Li was a little shocked. Why wasn't Xia Houjie so?

The Jiangdong soldiers in Ling County have never seen such a scene. Most of their kerosene is used in battleship battles, and on top of the city wall, the city will be attacked by fire. It is simply

It was completely beyond their expectation that they were now in the midst of a raging fire, with stone bullets whizzing towards them, miserable howls, and their morale plummeting.

Fortunately, because Cao Cao's kerosene bombs did not have strong adhesion and burning ability, the burning time was relatively short. After some utensils were ignited, some smaller fires were extinguished.

As for those buildings that had been set on fire, Jiang Dongjun had no choice but to watch them burn. At most, they tried their best to grab some items and create a fire barrier.

In the panic, Jiang Dongbing ran back and forth like ants on a hot pot. Fang felt that the fire seemed to have dimmed a little. After taking a breath, he heard Cao Jun's drums roaring outside the city gate!

Cao Jun's infantry began to attack!

The non-commissioned officer of Jiangdong Army howled, warned and organized, and then the situation became more and more chaotic.

As the war drums roared, the first wave of Cao's soldiers, about 2,000 strong, rushed toward the foot of Lingxian County, pushing a dozen or so culls used to fill the moats and trenches.

The chariot has four wheels, on which wooden planks can be erected and soldiers can be hidden. Ordinary arrows, wood and rocks cannot cause any harm to the soldiers inside.

These carriages would place the wooden planks they carried on the moats and trenches, and use them as pillars to build passages, which would make it easier for subsequent soldiers to attack the city.

The Jiangdong soldiers at the head of Lingxian City began to fight back, but I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because the chaos caused by the previous fireball technique has not subsided, or it may be for other reasons. Jiangdong Army’s counterattack is somewhat weak, and Jiangdong soldiers are good at bows and crossbows.
