The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 105 Fierce Fire Oil

For Takeda Taro and Kinoshita Tengyou-kun, who had never imagined that the city wall of Shieldfish Island was so high, just bombing a dozen sea-going ships was not a victory, but attacking the island and massacring the city was a joy. They were determined to climb the wall.

It was night, it rained heavily, and the temperature dropped sharply. Far from the cliff in the belly of Shieldfish Island, a group of black dumplings fell into the sea.

If Cuihua and his wife saw it, they would be surprised. Isn't this the bottom of the cliff where they would like to steal gold?

In the cold sea, a thousand ronin advance troops took the lead. This group of people basically has some kung fu skills, and they are often hired by various families on weekdays. This time they came to the island, the prices offered by these two families were very friendly. They came is also the most numerous.

It took me half an hour to swim in the sea before arriving at the shore. The bottom of the cliff is full of reefs and potholes. The cliff is nearly [-] meters high. This is also the steepest cliff on Shieldfish Island. The reason why I chose this place is because although it is steep, But it is wide enough to climb hundreds of people at a time.

Silently, they took off their waterproof suits, and the group of people put on non-slip shoes and leather gloves. The equipment configuration is not bad.

There is no way to throw the hook directly up the cliff of hundreds of meters. It depends on the real skill of the hands. 100 people go first.

These cliffs, which are exposed to the outside all year round, are very humid, and sometimes have moss. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 20 people fell down. Paralyzed.

The leader of the Ronin's team felt cold. It seems that the money this time is not easy to earn!
It was difficult. After half an hour, ten people finally reached the top of the cliff. They were looking for a suitable tree to tie a rope to facilitate the climbing of the brothers behind. There was a forest more than 20 meters away from the top of the cliff. Several people went to the woods in the dark. And then, the rain continued.

The people on the cliff are still climbing, and the people waiting at the bottom of the cliff are anxiously waiting. How many people have gone up?
Except for the occasional muffled groans when they fell down, and the sparse bird calls that were specially made after climbing up, there was nothing else.

It seems that it is not easy to find the leash tree in the first wave, so we can only continue to climb.

Two hours later, the heavy rain stopped. Except for the more than 300 people who were lying on the ground because they climbed the cliff and slipped down, the more than 600 people who went up did not make any sound, and the arranged arrows did not sound. Takeda Taro already felt that something was wrong.

Isn't it bad? The sailors ambushing in the woods almost got impatient. They covered the mouths of the dwarfs from behind, cut their throats and twisted their necks.

Ronin: It took me a lot of effort to get up here, and my physical strength has been greatly reduced. You won't be able to win by force!

After dawn, thousands of people appeared on the top of the cliff. Pots of boiling water were poured on the people lying at the bottom of the cliff, and the screams resounded throughout the island.

Takeda Taro was on the boat and saw the scene through the diorama. What else did he not understand? Their advance team was wiped out!
He was so angry that he ordered the artillery to shoot at the cliff, and the Daxia navy scattered like birds and beasts. For this kind of cliff that may have been through hundreds of years, the power of the gunpowder this time was not too fierce. Several shells fell on the cliff and exploded. It's just a few holes.

This made them feel bad, this shell is still good for blowing up people!
Of course Gao Huaiyu received the news and harvested hundreds of people's news, but he frowned and said nothing. Could it be that he wants to guard people so that they come to the door and kill them?

He ordered to his subordinates: "In our navy, find a hundred of the best water quality and wait for orders!"

He is very envious of the Japanese cannons. Compared with their firecrackers, this thing is obviously much more lethal. I want it!
Hei Wa stays at home and reads books in the space at night. He is also very curious about the ancients fighting at sea, and wants to see how the western island wars were fought in history.

In his study room, there were many biographies of famous historical figures, both Eastern and Western, but he didn't read much at that time, and used them more for decoration.

After reading the biography for three full days, he was silent in the study, Cuihua asked strangely: "What's the matter? It's okay if you can't find a way. The Gao family is a military family, and this battle should not be lost. "

Hei Wa shook his head, and he said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, it's not that there is no way, but I don't know whether to say this way or not. This may open up a new mode of war. It's not like you don't know the dominance of hot weapons! "

Cuihua is a person who helps relatives but does not help. She asked: "Can you stop the progress of history without using them? Don't those people in the West use cannons? With these sharp weapons, they will only stay in their own country and not come out. Have you robbed or looted?"

Hei Wa patted her head, this, I forgot, planting flowers is modern, doesn’t it mean that everyone has gone through the industrial revolution, and we are still being beaten in a feudal society, so what else is he to worry about.

"Daughter-in-law, look, I found a good thing!"

Cuihua has more than a dozen books open, all of which have folded pages. There is a very conspicuous noun "Menghuoyou"

"What kind of oil is this? What does it do?"

"Menghuo oil is oil. It is recorded in history that Champa (an ancient country in central and southern Vietnam) paid tribute to the Chinese emperor many times. It will not go out when it meets water. Isn't this the best weapon for attacking fire?"

"Does Daxia have oil?"

"Why not? I have read some historical biographies of this dynasty. The Great Xia Dynasty used fierce fire oil as a siege weapon more than 100 years ago. used."

"Then it's useless for you to mention it, and the emperor probably won't use it either."

"Hey, daughter-in-law, I dare to talk about our emperor to you only in the space. I think he will ignore those scholar-bureaucrats only if he knows that he has such a labor-saving weapon. For him, winning the war with the least cost Victory, less casualties, is the last word. Even the emperor who dares to make it public when he is directly cuckolded will not care about such false things as his face."

"Speaking of this, I just want to laugh, he can really let go, don't tell me, he really doesn't like to pretend, he has a personality!"

"There are too many strange emperors, my daughter-in-law, think about our Ming Dynasty, there were emperors who hadn't been in court for decades, this kind of non-pretend is not too special, they just have power to a certain extent , I don’t care about pretending!”

The next day, with a few historical essays of the dynasty, Hei Wa handed over his waist card and begged to see the emperor.

For this loyal and diligent uncle who seldom took the initiative to find him, the emperor was very rare that he could rush to find him, and announced him when he was in court.

As far as the material of "Menghuoyou" is concerned, there must be no emperor who does not know. However, when Heiwa emphasized "Immortal when exposed to water", Xia Hongdi's eyes became straight, and he patted Heiwa's shoulder: "It's wonderful to be immortal, it's so wonderful!"

He doesn't care how inhuman this thing is, it's fighting on the sea, and it's not killing his own compatriots, what can't be used!
Xia Hongdi sent a secret letter to Li Zongbing, the garrison in Ludi. Li Zongbing took the secret weapon sent by the imperial court and led 2 people to Dunyu Island. Although they were the army, the soldiers in the army also Most of them grew up in fishing villages by the sea, at least not weak in water.

Sea boats, the last time the Japanese pirates went to Dunyu Island, they kept a few ships and ran away. The shipyards in the south of the Yangtze River have been studying the ships of the Japanese pirates for a long time.

The emperor is now the largest customer of the Jiangnan shipyard. Compared with the big summer ships in the past, it is no problem to go to a shield fish island now.

On Shieldfish Island, the sea-going ships inevitably became targets, and were bombarded to pieces by Japanese cannons. Gao Huaiyu and the others had no tools to go to sea. If the other side did not come to replenish them, it would be a bit embarrassing for them.

However, apart from these sea-going ships, those who climbed the wall also came and went without returning. There were not many ronin of more than 1 left.

And this, they have only been fighting for more than half a month, and they don't even know the other party's casualties.

Takeda Taro was considering whether to return, but Kinoshita Tengyou-kun was not reconciled, how could they gain a foothold in the imperial court when they returned in such a despondent manner, it was just a few small islands.

It's just so exhausting. When Mr. Li came, Takeda Taro didn't pay attention to the 2 people. The islanders hid in the wall and couldn't come out. Now there are no sea ships. They lack too many sea ships, aren't they just here to send off the heads?
Mr. Li was not unprepared when he came to the island today. He specially found experienced fishermen and calculated the wind direction.

Before the sea ship approached, a small sailboat loaded with oil tanks full of "fire oil" rammed into dozens of Japanese ships.

Borrowing the direction of the wind, the sails were bulging, and upon closer inspection, they were unmanned. There were more than a dozen wooden barrels on dozens of small boats, and it was unknown what they were filled with.

Before these Japanese could study and understand, rockets were fired from across the sky, and some of them landed on the canvas of the small sailboat. Immediately afterwards, the sound of roaring explosions set off waves of heat.

The sea ship on the opposite side immediately turned its direction and collapsed to the left and right, getting farther and farther away from the center of the explosion.

With the sound of the explosion, the fire oil in the wooden barrel was exploded and quickly flowed into the sea.

In a large sea area, the oil surface spreads wider and wider, and the fire is accompanied by the oil, burning blazingly. The whole of the sea ship is still mostly wooden structure, which is amazing.

None of the more than 50 large ships was spared. The fire was unbearable for the Japanese, and they jumped into the sea one after another. In the sea, this oil can't be burned. With this feast.

Gao Huaiyu swallowed with difficulty, and asked Han Baoer's soldiers: "This, this should be from Daxia, right?"

Han Baoer nodded: "That's for sure, otherwise, don't the Japanese still burn their own boats! Ah, it's so enjoyable to watch, it's so fun to burn, General, it's a pity for us, the brothers haven't killed a few yet. What about a Japanese, now the imperial court will help us!"

Gao Huaiyu sighed: "Who said it wasn't true? It's a shit, and even burned the boat of labor and management. This deal is not worth it!"

"General, shouldn't you feel sorry for those cannons? The boat was set on fire, and it probably fell into the sea. What a pity!"

"If you don't mention this, you will die, you idiot!"

"General, everyone doesn't call me Shanwazi anymore, everyone calls me Hanbaoer!"

"Hanbao'er sounds much better than Shanwazi!" "You"
