These pine tar were originally used by the soldiers and cooks of the Colored Stone Army as a cooking ingredient to ignite the fire!
Shandong is surrounded by mountains, especially the area of Caishi Town and Jinan City, which is in the heart of the Shandong Mountains. The climate here is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the rain is not abundant. In addition, the mountains of this generation are complex.
, it is difficult for ordinary trees to survive. In the mountains, pine and cypress trees grow the most!
The so-called "depending on the mountain to eat the mountain", in this era, coal is a precious resource controlled by the imperial court, and the price is very high. How can ordinary people afford to burn it?
Ever since, the pines and cypresses on the mountain have become the best choice for people to burn firewood for cooking!
Although the Caishi Army is wealthy and can purchase a lot of coal from Laiwu, Xintai and other places, most of these treasures are used in craftsmen's workshops. The remaining part of the army does not dare to waste, and most of them are used to save food.
Frugality'.
Like the common people, pine and cypress wood have become the best auxiliary for the colored stone army besides coal!
Pine trees are treasures all over, and collecting pine oil is also a tradition of the residents in Caishi Town. The soldiers slightly improved it and used pine oil as a guide to burn firewood for cooking, which can save resources and physical strength.
Therefore, during this expedition to Liaodong, the Colored Stone Army also carried some, but unexpectedly, at this moment, these most inconspicuous pine tar became Liu Ruyi's 'life-saving straw'!
The pine oil used by the Colored Stone Army is not too viscous. It is just a crude product of pine oil. It has not been refined and cannot meet the standards of resin!
But this thing is specially designed to ignite fire, and it will ignite when it encounters fire!
At this time, despite the torrential rain, it could not suppress the burning flames of pine oil at all. As the throwers of the Colored Stone Army continued to throw torches to the Qing army's battle formation below, the rich aroma of pine resin filled the air, crackling.
Amidst the explosions, blue-green flames, like ghosts of lonely ghosts, rose into the sky along with the rain!
"Wow~! What the hell is this! Is it a will-o'-the-wisp?"
"These despicable bright dogs, they have angered the gods!"
"No! Impossible! How can these bright dogs have the power of gods?"
Although the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had strong combat power, and Huang Taiji also accelerated the absorption of Han culture at an extreme speed, after all, they had just emerged from the white mountains and black waters. Just like the Celestial Dynasty of later generations, their foundation was weak and weak, and shamanic culture was still the mainstay!
If among the entire Ming army, maybe one or two out of ten people could read and write, then among the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if one out of a hundred people could read, that would be a great blessing!
At this time, the fire that broke out in the heavy rain really surprised these Qing troops!
But for a while, no one knew how these smart dogs did it!
They immediately talked about each other, and even didn't know where to escape. Panic gradually began to spread!
"Don't panic! This is just Ming Gou's deception, and it won't make it to the big stage! You dog slaves, please cheer up! When Prince Yingwu's reinforcements arrive, we must kill all these Ming Gou's.
ah!!"
A Jia La Zhangjing suddenly shouted loudly. Although he didn't know what was going on, the blood accumulated in his bones for many years made him always full of arrogance when facing the Ming army!
Even if they are now in such a desperate situation, he still believes that the Ming army is just trying to delay time with a blindfold. As long as Azig's reinforcements arrive, the Ming army will be slaughtered by them like chickens and dogs as usual. , and also allows them to take a good breath of bad breath!
In times of crisis, what is most needed is someone to stand up!
After hearing Jia La Zhangjing's words, the commotion in the Qing army slowed down slightly. They all gathered around Jia La Zhang Jing, trying to find a chance to break out!
~~~~
At this time, the Caishi Army's battle formation had opened a short distance away from the Qing Army's battle formation. Against the backdrop of the faint 'ghost' flames, Liu Ruyi could even clearly see the ferocious 'ghost' faces below. !
"Are you ready to open the mountain thunder?" Liu Ruyi turned to Huo Lang and said.
"Brother, everything is already ready!" Huo Lang pointed to the row of soldiers behind him who had already raised the mountain thunder above their leader, and said respectfully to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi nodded and said as coldly as hell: "Let's do it!"
"Yes!" Huo Lang was impatient for a long time. He waved his hand behind him and shouted: "Kaishan Lei, do it!"
"yes!"
In a moment, more than a hundred soldiers with tall height and long arms threw the thunderbolts on their heads, which were as big as their heads, into the Qing army's battle formation surrounded by fire!
The fuses of these mountain-opening mines are wrapped in oil paper. Although the rain is heavy at this time, the fire will not be extinguished due to the pine oil. As long as the fire can burn through the oil paper outside the fuses, the power of the mountain-opening mines will be fully come into play!
Not long after, there was a loud "boom", like a thunder explosion, and a mountain-opening thunder was detonated first. Then, "boom boom..." connected into a piece, fire appeared everywhere, mud splashed everywhere, like an earthquake, the whole world It seems like it will be torn apart!
"Brother, be careful!"
A mountain thunder exploded forty or fifty steps in front of Liu Ruyi. Huo Lang quickly threw Liu Ruyi to the ground!
Liu Ruyi touched the mud on her face, but didn't care, "Huo Lang, I'm fine! Go on, let's have another round! I will make sure that these bastards will never be reincarnated!"
"Yes! Brother, don't worry!" Huo Lang quickly got up and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Quick, the general has an order to give all our treasures to them!"
~~~~
"Boom...boom..." As the second round of mountain-opening thunder struck violently, the Qing army's battle formation was already in a mess. Broken arms and limbs were everywhere, and brains, plasma, and red and white things were flying everywhere. !
The Caishi Army's mountain-opening mines are made of hard-covered gunpowder, covered with iron sheets and broken iron, and are even more powerful than before!
At this time, mixed with slippery mud rocks, the power has increased a lot invisibly!
The trenches and earthen walls that were originally not far from the Qing army's battle formation were blown down and filled up one after another. Many Qing soldiers did not even have time to react and were buried alive under the high earthen walls!
"Ah~~~! You despicable bright dogs! I will kill you all! You despicable slaves! Ah!!!" The Qing army's battle formation was in chaos, with countless casualties. That Jia La Zhangjing, His left arm had already gone somewhere, and blood was pouring out from the wound, but he didn't care, like a wild beast, he roared loudly, as if he wanted to shout out all the resentment in his heart!
And beside him, the soldiers who were still guarding him closely were no longer there. There were corpses everywhere, mud everywhere, fires everywhere, and explosions like thunder everywhere!
There was no way they could avoid it, they were just like a group of living targets, testing the power of the Colored Stone Army’s Mountain Thunder!
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but the fire is getting stronger and stronger. The smell of burnt meat, strong blood, and the freshness of rain are all mixed together, so clear, yet so far away!
It's hard to tell whether this is a dream or reality!
Even the soldiers of the Colored Stone Army couldn't bear to see anymore. This land had become a real 'hell on earth!'
"Boom...boom..."
Due to the uneven distribution of the fire, the mountain mines were not detonated all at once. In twos and threes, mines were constantly being detonated. No one knew where these Qing troops were fleeing to in order to be safe! They could only act as if they were headless.
Like a fly, it was circling back and forth, trying to break through a gap in the fire!
"Brother, it's almost done!" Huo Lang said with a stern face, without a trace of expression, to Liu Ruyi who was standing aside.
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly, "Inform Xiao Liu'er and Chun Wa that one of them is blocking the opening on one side. Don't let any of these Tatars escape! Xu Xianhui's troops will stay behind! The rest of the troops will all retreat to the mountain.
!Wang Pu’s side, also go and retreat back to the mountain!"
"yes!"
~~~~~
At this time, after being baptized by the fire and the thunder, most of the more than 2,000 Qing troops in the battle formation were dead or injured. Those who were lucky enough to survive were probably missing arms and legs, making it difficult to pose a threat!
In front of the Caishi Army's defense line, Azig's follow-up reinforcements have already approached the earth wall!
Liu Ruyi did not choose to continue to quarrel with Azige, but strictly ordered the army to retreat!
We have already taken advantage. In such weather, it would be completely unwise to fight against the Qing army head-on!
On the other side, Wang Pu was entangled with the more than a thousand Qing troops on the left wing. Both sides suffered numerous casualties. His Datong army was already overwhelmed! After hearing Liu Ruyi's order to withdraw troops, how could he dare to entangle? He hurriedly hurriedly
Withdraw to the mountains!
Except for Xiao Liu'er and Chun Wa, who were waiting for the rabbit, the originally compact battlefield suddenly became empty!
"Brother Liu, are you okay? These dog Tatars are really difficult to deal with!" Wang Pu's face was covered in blood, and there were several stab wounds on his back and arms. Obviously, he was not having an easy time there!
"I'm fine! Brother Wang, what are the casualties of the sons of Datong Army?"
"Damn, these dog Tatars! I didn't expect that at this level, they could still hold on like this! Although my brother didn't capture them all! But at least half of them must have been killed or wounded! Our Datong Army, I'm afraid...
More than a thousand people were killed or injured!" After Wang Pu finished speaking, he sighed sadly!
Liu Ruyi nodded. Wang Pu's ability to hold on to this level was beyond Liu Ruyi's expectation. It was quite good!
"That's fine! Pass my military order! Tell Xiao Liu'er and Chun Wa to withdraw quickly! After Xu Xianhui's troops are cut off! Abandon the first line of defense and the whole army withdraws to the mountain!"
"Yes!" The soldiers on one side quickly cupped their hands and quickly reported below!
"Brother Liu, this? This? Our situation is very good. Azig, the bastard, is already at the end of his strength. Why don't you go all out and take down that bastard! This is a great achievement!" Although Wang Pu was tired, he was
An extremely unwilling way!
Liu Ruyi shook her head slightly, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Azig is not a good person after all! We have taken advantage of enough! Brother Wang, the future is long! We have plenty of opportunities!"
Seeing that Liu Ruyi had already made up his mind, Wang Pu did not dare to say anything more and nodded vigorously, "That's fine! We must take a good look! When Azige, a bastard, sees this, he will
