"So this is Jingjue Ren's trump card. I don't know what flammable thing they are using, and it spreads so fast." Guo Jia and Yan Liang had the same doubts.
Yan Liang looked carefully and saw that the fires that Jingjue Ren made seemed to be different from ordinary firewood, saltpeter, and burned thick black smoke.
Moreover, the burning smell is quite choking, and it actually has a familiar smell.
After staring at him for a moment, Yan Liang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said strangely: "Is these erotic essences burned? Is it oil?"
oil?
This fresh noun made Guo Jia and others confused and surprised all the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, what is this oil?" Guo Jia asked in confusion.
"This is a kind of black liquid hidden underground, igniting when it encounters fire. I think in this world, besides gunpowder, there is only the speed of oil burning spreading, which is so fast." Yan Liang's inspiration flashed, and even more
Confirmed about his guess.
The countries in the Western Regions were in the Tarim Basin. In later generations, the underground layers of this basin contained rich oil resources.
Although most of the oil is located in the deep underground, in some special geological environments, oil may not be impossible to dig out from the shallow underground layer.
The Jingjue Kingdom may be on such a special geological layer that they possess such rare things as oil in ancient times.
"I understand now. No wonder these women, Jingjue, dare to challenge me with ten thousand people. It turns out that they have such a powerful weapon and want to burn my army to death." The truth was revealed, and Yan Liang couldn't help but sigh.
After listening to Yan Liang's explanation, Guo Jia was surprised that there were divine objects such as "oil" in the world, but he didn't quite understand such an unheard-of-telling thing. How did the emperor know about it?
Ma Su was even more surprised. He had personally gone deep into the Western Regions and reconnaissed information, but he had never known about the oil, but he didn't expect the emperor to know so clearly.
However, the ministers did not dare to ask more questions. They also knew that Yan Liang had extraordinary knowledge. It was not the first time they knew something that they had never heard of.
Reflecting from the surprise, Ma Su said anxiously: "Your Majesty. We have been tricked by the Jingjue woman. Those five thousand soldiers were surrounded by a wall of fire and could not escape. I was afraid that Jingjue would shoot with arrows soon.
The situation of five thousand horses is critical.”
Yan Liang was not nervous at all. He just said lightly: "It doesn't matter if the five thousand men lost. What I am worried about now is whether the general Wen Yuan, who is the general, can escape from the predicament safely."
Ma Su was shocked and looked unbelievable.
He knew very well that the emperor had always cherished his soldiers. Now that the five thousand soldiers were about to die in vain, the emperor didn't care at all, which was too unreasonable.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much when you are young. Your Majesty is prepared long ago. How can we let our soldiers die easily?"
Ma Su became more and more confused, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He could only be full of doubts and turned his eyes back to the vast sea of fire.
Through the fire, Yan Liang seemed to see that the exquisite queen was laughing self-righteously a few hundred steps away.
In fact, Fu Hong was indeed laughing wildly.
"Yan Liang is just like this. Under the fire of my black oil, no one can resist, haha--" Fu Hong laughed arrogantly, with sarcasm in her laughter.
Sima Wang suddenly realized this time, but only then did he realize that there was a magical flammable substance like "black oil" in Jingjueren's hands.
"No wonder Your Majesty wanted to choose the decisive battle site on this field with a wide range of irrigation ditches. It turned out that Your Majesty was going to use this ditches to burn the Chu thieves with black oil fires off guard." Sima Wang bowed and exclaimed.
Fu Hong restrained her laughter and shouted, "Send Yu Baozhu, the archers give me arrows and kill all the men of Chu."
The order was passed down, and Princess Baozhu, who was in front of the formation, commanded three thousand crossbowmen and began to shoot arrows at the surrounding Chu army in the firewall.
The Chu army, who was panicking, was killed or injured by the blow of arrows, and the tragic sound was shocked.
The fire wall blocked the escape routes on all sides, and the terrain inside the wall was empty and there was nowhere to hide. The five thousand Chu troops became living targets, allowing these beautiful women to reap their lives frantically.
"Help--"
"Let me out--"
In the firewall surrounded the Chu army was screaming in horror, but strangely, their shouting was not in Chinese, but incoherent Western dialect.
After a few rounds of arrows, more than a thousand Chu soldiers were shot to the ground. The bodies were covered with thick layers, and the flying blood and the flames shone together.
In the chaotic army, Zhang Liao was as stable as Mount Tai, but his eyebrows slightly condensed.
Looking at the fire walls around, looking at the thick smoke rising into the sky, listening to the screams of the Chu soldiers, and resisting the rain of arrows falling from the sky, Zhang Liao was not panicked at all.
Instead, a sarcastic sneer flashed across his face.
"I didn't expect that the Jingjue woman had such a powerful firearm. Fortunately, Your Majesty had expected that it was not suitable for a long time. I had to rush out."
Zhang Liao's thoughts changed and he immediately had an idea. He immediately pulled out a black belt and covered the war horse's eyes.
"Helping!" With a loud shout, Zhang Liao whipped the horse violently.
The war horse under his crotch was in pain, and the "Lulu" shouted, and among Zhang Liao's envoys, he covered his head and ran towards the main formation of the army in the south.
The urethra was blinded and ignored the blockade of the firewall.
Seeing that it was only one step away from the fire wall, Zhang Liao suddenly lifted the reins and the war horse under his crotch jumped instinctively. The man and his horse flew over the fire wall and landed on that side.
After crossing the wall of fire, Zhang Liao let go of his urethra, rode his horse straight back to his original formation, and reported to Yan Liang.
Seeing Zhang Liao Anran come back, Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, you are back at least safe, otherwise you, a general, will be a huge loss for Da Chu."
Zhang Liao bowed and said, "I am naturally not good if I have the blessing of Your Majesty. Fortunately, Your Majesty had expected that he would drive away five thousand Shanshan people to attack as our army. Otherwise, my soldiers of the Great Chu would suffer heavy losses in this battle."
Zhang Liao's words revealed the truth.
The ministers, including Ma Su, who were unaware of the inside, suddenly realized it.
It turned out that Yan Liang had to make sure that he had a trick, but he couldn't guess what conspiracy they had, but this challenge was unavoidable.
Yan Liangsui ordered the five thousand Shanshan slaves who were accompanying him to disguise themselves as infantry corps of the Great Chu, and pretended to give them a chance to make meritorious contributions and serve the Great Chu, and let them be the vanguard of the flesh shield.
Now that the plan of Jingjue has been revealed, the five thousand people lost are Shanshan bait, but the Chu army is unscathed.
This is Yan Liang's indifference.
Kill, a woman with great strength, kill as much as you can. Anyway, you are the ones who kill you in the Western Regions, so I am happy to watch the fun.
The arrows were like rain, and Jingjue was still shooting arrows at will, thinking that he was shooting the Chu people.
The storm of arrows was shot, and the five thousand puppet troops in Shanshan were shot so hard that they cried and howled, and corpses were everywhere.
Many Shanshan puppet troops who could not stand the arrows took a risk of hiking to cross the ditches, but were lit by the fire wall about a meter tall and burned to coke one by one.
Fu Hong looked cold and looked at the good show with a smile.
Half an hour later, the shooting ended, and five thousand puppet troops had been shot and killed.
After appreciating the murder of the Western Regions, Yan Liang whipped and smiled: "After watching the show, let's go back to the camp, and we will break the enemy city again tomorrow."
The sixty thousand Chu cavalry turned their heads and left, and soon retreated cleanly.
After seeing the Chu army's death and injury, Jing Jueren was happy and encouraged after escaping in shame. More than 10,000 women shouted excitedly.
"That's great. Five thousand Chu troops were killed. This was the first defeat of the Chu army. It's so competitive." Sima Wang also shouted excitedly, losing his manners.
Fu Hong became more proud and sneered: "When the fire is extinguished, I will catch a few live-actioners back. I want to interrogate the Chu army's weaknesses."
After saying that, Fu Hong beat a horse and whipped it, leading her victorious female army back to Jingjue City.
The news of victory came back to the city, and all the beautiful women in the city cheered and welcomed their queen's victory back.
Fu Hong returned to the palace with great satisfaction and set up a banquet in the palace to celebrate the victory with her daughters and many female generals.
"Yan Thief swept the world and rarely lost his fortune. But now he was killed by His Highness in one battle with five thousand soldiers. After this battle, His Highness's reputation will surely become famous all over the world."
At the banquet, Sima Wang raised his glass frequently, complimenting Fu Hong with beautiful words.
"Haha--" Fu Hong was extremely proud, Hong Guang was satisfied, and she drank freely.
In an atmosphere of joyful victory, the great lord Shi Lan walked into the hall with a serious expression, and escorted several Chu army prisoners behind him, all of whom were survived by the fire.
"Mother King, things seem to be wrong. We have fallen into Yan Liang's plan." Shi Lan frowned.
The hall soon returned to silence, and everyone looked at Shi Lan with surprise.
Fu Hong said with a calm face and said unhappy: "What did you say? What was the plan of Yan Liang."
Shi Lan pointed to the prisoners on the ground and said in a deep voice: "My son has just questioned these prisoners. It turns out that they are not the Chu army at all, but the Chu people forced the Shanshan people to pretend to be. The five thousand people we shot and killed were all
Shanshan people.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar and everyone changed their expressions.
"What!" Fu Hong was also shocked and jumped up.
She rushed down the steps in a few steps, grabbed the prisoners and saw that they were indeed all Western Regions people, and the begging for mercy in their mouths was also Western Regions dialect.
At this time, Fu Hong was completely surprised to realize that Yan Liang had expected her to have a plan, but deliberately accepted the challenge. Before the war, he used the Shanshan army as bait and used her unique trick.
After a long time of great victory, she became famous. It turned out that she was actually played by Yan Liang and played a farce.
Fu Hong's face was full of complacency, and in a blink of an eye, he collapsed and disintegrated, replaced by endless shock and anger.
In the hall, Sima Wang, several princesses, and the most beautiful ministers in the hall were all shocked and embarrassed.
"Yan Liang! How dare you tease me!" Fu Hong gritted her teeth and roared and cursed angrily. (To be continued...)
