Best luck

() But his gossip news was a huge surprise to Liang Yong. He grabbed him excitedly and asked: "How far is the stinky oil spring from here? Is the flow big?"

The old elf was taken aback by him and didn't understand why Liang Yong was so excited, but he replied quickly: "It was originally a depression. After we found the smelly mud coming out, it was half filled in a short while, but it was too smelly and we didn't stay long. Now it is estimated that it is filled with five miles away from here.”

Liang Yong said even more excitedly when he heard it: "I have to go to the site to check on the spot, you take me there quickly." Pulling the old elf, he was about to get out of the tent

The old elf couldn't help but persuade him: "Boss Liang's place is smelly and unlucky, you don't need to go and see it yourself."

"Hahaha, you don't understand, it's a good thing. Whether you can win this battle or not depends on it." Liang explained with a big laugh and then ordered the staff: "You stay and organize as many barrels and waterwheels as possible. I'll be useful in a while"

With five hundred soldiers, Liang Yong and the old elf went to the nearby woods. On the way, he explained to the old elf in detail: "The thing you see is called oil. It is the best industrial raw material and can be used to make most of the daily products. Supplies are enough to bring about revolutionary progress in human life. At the same time, it is also the best fuel. As long as it is ignited, it is more powerful than the incendiary bombs I made. It will not be extinguished until it is completely burned. I also……"

The old elf didn't expect the extremely smelly mud to have such an effect, and he was very glad that he told this seemingly irrelevant news

After a while, I arrived at the site for investigation. As the old elf said, the stinky oil has filled the depressions with a radius of thousands of square meters, and it is overflowing from several gaps. Liang observed that the flow rate reached one cubic meter per second, which is more than that of a mine in later generations. The output must be high. According to this kind of flow, it is no longer enough to transport it with wooden barrels and wagons.

Liang Yong took a look around and decided to immediately dig a channel to introduce oil into the moat of Tianxiang Capital, five miles away, and ordered his men to go back immediately and gather soldiers to carry shovels and immediately dig a canal. The technical work of digging a canal naturally does not require him to personally guide those in the barracks. It is easier to find specialized engineers and soldiers. Soldiers here are strong. They put down their knives and guns and carry shovels. They are the best engineers.

In less than half an hour, the engineering team came in and excavated under the command of engineering experts. Because the construction period required by Liang Yong was strict and the canal was completed within two hours, more than 1 engineering troops gathered over five miles long. The construction site is full of lines, and the construction is tense and very fast.

Liang Yong took advantage of this time to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the oil springs. This is a self-flowing well caused by the movement of the bottom crust. Liang Yong figured out that it was because the strong geological movement caused by the collapse of the agarwood tree half a year ago shook the shallow oil layer under the earth's crust away. But the pressure inside the crevice will press the oil from the crevice to the ground, it will take some time and after several months of penetration, it will only rush out of the ground now, but it is a great help to Liang Yong.

After investigation, Liang Yong found that the reserves of this oil well are not small. The current self-flowing well is enough for him to use in this battle. He is even thinking about whether to kill the well after the moat is filled and save it for re-exploitation later, but after careful consideration, he still gives up. this tempting idea

This is not Qizhou Island. Even if there is oil, it is not easy for him to get it. Sooner or later, he will have to leave here and return to Qizhou Island, which is his base. However, the production of oil here also proves one thing. There is no difference. The products on the earth are basically available here, but they are condensed ten thousand times.

Now that I know that there is oil underground, I will also mine oil in Qizhou Island, but at most it will be stored deeper than here, and it will be more difficult to mine.

The man-made canal was successfully dug in two hours with a lot of people and strength. The experts checked the river channel to ensure that the oil could flow into the moat along the river channel, and then came to ask Liang for instructions to dig the opening here to lead the oil into the canal.

Liang Yong was very excited. He personally picked up the shovel and dug a few shovels, just like cutting the ribbon for the foundation laying leader of a big project.

Encouraged by Liang Yong's movements, the crowd was full of energy. Dozens of young men waved their shovels and opened the gap in a short time. Oil splashed on them, making them all black. They didn't feel dirty, but rather honored.

Watching the dark oil flowing down the canal and quickly flowing into the moat, Liang nodded happily and ordered his 500 engineering troops to stay here to consolidate the depressions and build an earth dam in other directions to prevent the oil from flowing to other places in vain. walk all into the moat

At the same time, a combat force of 5000 people was dispatched to keep a close watch on the place, and everyone was strictly prohibited from revealing the secrets here. He didn't let other people hear this secret, Liang Yong wouldn't let it out unless he was the most trusted person.

However, Liang Yong's strict order has a huge impact on everyone. Although they can't see through the use of this stinky black mud, they know that this is the most important strategic place for the commander. Five thousand soldiers dare not be careless to seal this area tightly Even if a bird flies by, it will be shot down

Following Liang Yong, he went to inspect the moat again. Some subordinates suggested that since there was stinky mud poured into the moat, should we drain the water in the moat to store more stinky mud? The moat and the river pipe network in the city are opened up to facilitate the influx of oil into the city along the river.

After some arrangement, it’s already dark and black mist rises in the sky in the distance. It’s the phenomenon caused by the Holy Cult’s army setting up camp and cooking. They have too many people and horses. The smoke from collective cooking can cover the sky with black mist. They are far away from here. It's closer, it's already within 300 miles

Liang Yong looked at the black fog under the setting sun in the distance, and suddenly his expression turned ugly and he let out a low voice: "Not good."

Turning around, entering the big tent, looking at the military map, and researching it. With oil, the killer weapon, Liang Yong was confident of winning a victory, even a heavy blow to the Crusaders, but now that the Crusaders were close at hand, he suddenly realized that it was time to prepare. Not enough, the crusaders will kill them within two days, and the oil from the wellhead can't fill the moat within two days. After all, Tianxiang Capital City is too big, with a radius of hundreds of miles, even if it only fills half of the moat here. three to five days

How can we delay the crusader's attack and gain a few more days? Liang Yong anxiously thought of a solution.
