Since everyone asked this, Li Sheng pondered for a moment, and then nodded!
If there is anything particularly outstanding about Li Ji, in Li Sheng's impression, it is probably "pacifying the Turks with Li Jing". If Li Jing was the ace top laner at that time, then Li Ji's performance should be regarded as jungle FMVP.
, still quite eye-catching.
At this moment, the big boss was looking at me and waiting for him to make up his mind. Li Sheng nodded and said, "The British master is a veteran, and Youdao is a veteran who can fight against both. What can I worry about? It's just a Xuantu City.
.”
In Li Sheng's impression, the most difficult thing to defeat in Goguryeo was Anshi City.
In contrast...
Just like that joke, everyone knows that the highest peak in the world is Mount Everest, but the second highest peak in the world... because this joke became popular, many people know it, but before this joke became popular, most people didn't know.
Even after this joke became popular, most people still don’t know it unless they search it.
Li Sheng's self-positioning is now that of an ordinary person who likes to live a good life, so he subconsciously said so... Xuantu City is not an Internet celebrity city anyway, so it should probably not be difficult.
However, when he said this, Li Xiaogong and Li Ji immediately became energetic.
They exchanged glances, which was called excitement.
Damn it, everyone is thinking deeply about it. Goguryeo is now developed. The food and grass are abundant. The army has been expanded and the weapons have been updated. There are even grenades, and even oil that is more terrifying than grenades - oil and ordinary
Lard, suet, and rapeseed oil are not the same concept, because this is ancient times.
Things like lard, suet, and rapeseed oil are all highly limited.
Even though the generals and nobles of Goguryeo could collect and distribute these supplies, the limit was the limit, and the reality was that there was not that much lard and mutton oil. In the Tang Dynasty, most people were still farmers. Although there were more people and less land and chemical fertilizers,
With the help of water conservancy, potatoes and sweet potatoes, people's living standards are improving rapidly.
But just go out and ask a villager from the Tang Dynasty, when was the last time your family ate meat?
To say that conditions were good last month is still the situation in the Tang Dynasty. Although Goguryeo has become rich, the prosperity in ancient times means that the risk of famine has been greatly reduced, just like the prosperous times in later generations does not mean that everyone can
Becoming a rich man means that jobs are easy to find, easy to change jobs, and as long as you work hard and keep working, you can eventually earn a high salary.
But it’s definitely not about getting rich directly. And it was the same in ancient times. To say that the world is rich does not mean that everyone in the world can have meat to eat every day like modern people. That is called “freedom of agricultural and sideline products”, which is the ultimate goal... process
The length is no joke.
Even if Datang had a golden finger, the process would not be too short.
As for Goguryeo, or other tribes, or Wubao villages with private soldiers quietly set up by maritime merchants, the economic capabilities of these entities are actually similar, and most of them are not even as rich as the average wealth of the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, no matter how he collects it, lard and mutton fat are not enough, and another key point is that lard and mutton fat are high in calories - they are a kind of food!
But oil is different. Once you find an oil field, once you find a way to extract it, and a set of stable and replicable processes, there is simply no future. Not to mention that it is inexhaustible - this is 100%
It's poisonous chicken soup. But at least within a relatively long period of time, such as... not to mention more, ten years, or simply five years, within five years, you can really use it to your heart's content.
And this means...
Oil is a must-have in the battle to defend the city.
The army attacked the city, built a lot of ladders, and the soldiers rushed up like crazy. At this time, the defenders often used rolling logs and rocks.
But in fact, anyone who has played with a tablet knows that if you hold the tablet vertically and drop the stylus from the top to the screen - during this process, the probability of the screen being accidentally touched is extremely small.
The reason is very simple. In the initial stage of falling, as long as the stylus touches the wall itself slightly, it will be bounced away the next moment! Even if the force is not strong, it will definitely distance itself from the screen.
And this means that the efficiency of rolling wood and stones to defend the city is quite unreliable. But splashing boiled hot oil is different!
As soon as the hot oil was poured down, not to mention the siege soldier who was hit by the hot oil, the hot oil was poured all over his face and he was deemed to be disabled on the spot, and he could directly prepare for the issue of pension.
As for the latter, even if it is not splashed on the head to achieve the instant kill effect, but it is sprinkled on the arms and neck, it is definitely a perfect reason for people to fall off the ladder immediately.
Hot oil is far better than rolling wood and stone!
So here comes the question, obviously hot oil is more effective, so why did the ancient armies pour oil inconsistently when defending the city? The reason is very simple... because it is not enough.
How could such conditions exist in ancient times!
But with oil, it's completely different. The city can really hoard a large amount of oil and spray it throughout the war.
and……
In ancient times, there was no oil industry as developed as modern times, and all the oil fields were untouched. In this case, it was easy to exploit high-quality oil fields, and there were quite a lot of light natural oils - otherwise in Shen Kuo's Mengxi Bi Tan
There won't be such a chapter.
But even so, natural oil is still natural after all, and has a certain degree of viscosity by nature.
This means that the oil that the ancients could mine must have been diesel oil with a lot of impurities. It could even be said... that it was mixed with "plastic", a mud-like substance that was not even diesel oil.
This kind of thing looks disgusting, but disgusting is not important. What is important is that this kind of oil has a characteristic, that is, it is not easy to burn out when it is ignited... And this means that the defender of the city can keep burning at the top of the city.
Add a pot of hot oil, and then... the attackers will almost never be able to capture the city, and it will never be possible to use a ladder to break into the city.
Then, the only thing we can do is find a way to charge from the land... and if we calculate it this way, it will be much more difficult.
The key... now Goguryeo also has grenades.
Although there is no exact information, during the period when the troops were stationed in Zhuozhou, everyone had thought about one issue.
Is it possible that these grandsons of Goguryeo also have landmines?
If this is the case, then the difficulty of military games on land will also have to be increased, and not just a little bit.
It's hard to say how difficult it is, but... everyone still believes in Li Ji, and the prestige of a veteran is no joke.
