Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 195 Fire Bomb Combo
Black fire oil is the use of crude oil. Everyone knows a little about it, but black fire oil burns without fear of water, and the power of high temperature is feared by everyone.

That's why Zhang Hong urged everyone to pay attention to safety during the transportation, and the black fire oil in Sheyang County could not be fully exploited.

Knowing the high value of kerosene, Ye Xiao asked Zhang Hong to bring out the black kerosene brought back.

The black fire oil was sealed in a wooden barrel, and a lot of oil stains still leaked out of the seal. Ye Xiao reached out to touch it, and put it in his nose to smell it.

"This black fire oil is a good thing. As far as I know, you can make a round iron barrel, collect black fire oil, pour it in, and seal it well. Be careful not to approach open flames during transportation. It must be safe before use, so you won't be afraid of this black fire oil. and myself."

Zhang Hong hurriedly wrote down what Ye Xiao said, they tried it and the effect was excellent.

"Zigang, although black fire oil needs to be mined, attention must also be paid to the hidden dangers of transportation and use. I will make a booklet for you later, and then send someone to mine it. Now let's see how effective this black fire oil bomb is."

Ye Xiao took two steps back, and signaled to the craftsman operating the trebuchet to make kerosene bombs on the spot.

The kerosene bomb is also very simple, just use a small circle of stones, wrap a few layers of rotten cloth on the outside, and soak it with black kerosene.

After spending some time, the kerosene bomb was completed. The craftsman directed the manpower to put it into the boom, and then prepared to shoot at the same target.

"ignition!"

The civilian husband held a torch, and a little nervously approached the big fire oil bomb, stretched it out and lit it with a red bang.

"emission!"

The craftsman yelled, and the civilian husband slammed the mechanism with a mallet.

The howling fireball flew up like a shooting star with a black smoke tail.

The folks who had seen it once still showed shocked expressions, standing aside in fear and watching the big fireball fall.

The cloth wrapped in the boulder exploded with black fire oil, sparks splashed all over the ground, and the dilapidated wooden house that had just been smashed to pieces was ignited by the flames, and the flames ignited more vigorously.

Seeing the kerosene bomb with full firepower from a distance, Ye Xiao clapped his hands and smiled, this is the fire bomb attack he wanted.

However, the one fire bomb just now used nearly a barrel of black fire oil, which was a huge consumption.

"Can the kerosene bomb be made smaller and launched with a small trebuchet?" Ye Xiao said suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

"Zigang, ask someone to bring some small catapults, the ones with wheels that we developed before." Ye Xiao ordered, "Can you make small pyrotechnic bombs? The best way is to tie them with stones. Form into a ball, and then wrap it with black fire oil fuel."

Hearing this, Zhang Hong quickly asked people to push over the small catapults. There were five in total. This kind of catapults were temporarily eliminated in the second line because of their lack of range.

According to Ye Xiao's request, the craftsman made ten small kerosene bombs on the spot, each weighing ten catties.

"You put the small fire oil bombs into the catapult, set up a cavalry phalanx target a hundred steps ahead, and test the launch at the fastest speed."

Soon, a hundred steps away, wooden poles were erected one by one to serve as cavalry targets.

"Prepare for the first round of shooting, light the fire!"

The five fireballs ignited at the same time, and the craftsman didn't even look at it. The hit rate of this catapult is much higher than that of the catapult, because the ballistic trajectory is stable and the distance is not far.

"Boom! Boom!"

Five fireballs exploded in the group of wooden poles in front, and the flames ignited many dummies at the same time.

Because of Ye Xiao's order, the craftsman immediately asked someone to load the second round of kerosene bombs after firing the first wave. Before Ye Xiao could speak, he fired the second round of five kerosene bombs into the flame bush.

The exploding kerosene bombs knocked down many wooden poles with a whistling sound, and more importantly, pieces of black kerosene cloth stuck to stones fell everywhere. Ten kerosene bombs ignited hundreds of wooden poles. It looked like a sea of ​​fire.

"My lord, the kerosene bombs can still be used in this way. This is really an eye-opener for my subordinates. If we have enough reserves, even tiger and leopard cavalry will not be able to please us."

Zhang Hong's heart trembled slightly. This kind of attack intensity had already changed his perception of the battlefield.

"That's right, but as you said, Zigang, you must be well prepared. This careful catapult was incorporated into the infantry, and was deployed to Cao Xing's archer unit. I don't know how well his crossbowmen have been trained."

Ye Xiao thought for a while and smiled, finally temporarily solved the problem of insufficient long-range output attack power.

"My lord, there is no problem with the installation, but the operation of this catapult requires civilians. These people have not been trained, and their psychological quality is difficult to meet the needs of the battlefield."

Zhang Hong saw many civilian husbands trembling nervously, obviously frightened by the power of the kerosene bomb.

"When recruiting archers, many people were eliminated due to lack of quality. It's a pity that these people are sent back. They can be sent to operate the catapult. If you are a civilian, you should continue to do logistics."

After thinking about it, Ye Xiao came up with a solution.

Zhang Hong quickly wrote down that this was an order to add another branch of the military system, so he had to be cautious.

"Where is General Wen Yuan now?"

Zhang Hong looked at the people around him and whispered: "The general went south in person."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, and stopped asking any further questions. Zhang Liao had already set his sights on Lujiang, which was nominally still controlled by the Han Dynasty, and was already set on by Sun Quan. Zhang Liao said he would take the first step, and Ye Xiao let him go.

Dongguan County, Qingzhou, a remote official road.

Han Meng finally waited for Chen Dao's troops to come. He watched Chen Dao's general flag approach from a distance in the grass.

Zhao Yun's vigilant eyes swept over his position, Han Meng's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't bear it any longer, he raised his knife and rushed out from the grass with a loud roar.

Han Meng's attack was the signal. Thousands of Yuan Jun saw their companions attacking, and they also shouted to attack the official road.

There was a wave of ups and downs, and the first to panic were the women, children, and children of the Wuhuan people in the team. Seeing the fierce Yuan Jun coming, they ran around in panic.

"Chen Dao is here to accept his order! The prime minister orders, you don't even think about going back to Xuzhou!"

Han Meng shouted at the top of his voice. He was wearing the armor of General Cao Jun and he was wearing a helmet, so he couldn't tell who it was.

Chen Dao was shocked. The flags and uniforms of the soldiers in this army were indeed those of Cao Cao. Could it be that Cao Cao regretted it and let himself go first, and then set up an ambush here to catch them all?
But there is no need for this, Chen Dao roared in his heart, Cao Cao wanted to kill them, he just let Le Jin besieged to death in the valley, why bother.

Unable to bear it, Chen Dao still looked at the five hundred Cao troops behind him, and found that the captain was also bewildered, watching the soldiers in the same clothes attack him.

"Misunderstanding! We are our own people!" The uncle thought that Cao Cao had really changed his mind, so he shouted.

However, Han Meng sneered and shouted loudly: "Kill these traitors, and even assist Ye Xiaojun to escape!"

The captain was stunned, and was hacked to death by Han Meng who rushed up, and the scene became even more chaotic. Seeing this, Han Meng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
