Chapter 321 Fierce Fire Oil and Greek Fire

"Young Master Yan...Where are you from..."

Among the carriage, Li You, Yan San, Master Yan and Uncle Hu were sitting inside. Li You invited Uncle Hu and Master Yan to the carriage, and wanted to know Mr. Yan.

After Li You asked Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan did not speak. Instead, the uncle Hu on the side laughed and said, "Your Highness, our Mr. Yan is actually from Xiangzhou.

But later I went to Chang'an to do business and lived there. But it wasn't that I was concerned about where we arrived, my hometown was still Xiangzhou."

"Oh...!" This answer made the behavior of Young Master Yan and his group more concrete. Because they were from Xiangzhou, the people of Xiangzhou were in trouble now, so they fought to the death. This is very reasonable.

"Young Master Yan, what business do you do in Chang'an?" Li You asked again.

"Oh... it's just some small business, not worth mentioning...!" This time, Uncle Hu rushed to answer again. Li You didn't know why, but Mr. Yan didn't speak. Maybe the entourage who had been together for ten years died yesterday, so it should be normal for him to be sad.

But at this time, Yan San stared at Mr. Yan who was rudely looking at Mr. Yan on the side and tried his best to avoid Yan San's gaze, but no matter where Mr. Yan hid, Yan San's gaze followed closely.

"Cough..." Uncle Hu on the side had already coughed several times, but Yan San was very simple in his mind. If you cough, he would only think that your throat was uncomfortable and would not have any other thoughts.

Of course, Li You became embarrassed at this time. He quickly patted Yan San beside him and said a little embarrassedly: "Third brother...Third brother...!"

After shouting twice, Yan San still stared at Mr. Yan.

There was no choice but to shout, "Third brother... It's very impolite for you to stare at others like this..."

After being yelled like this, Yan San withdrew his gaze. Li You patted Yan San's big head and said, "Sit down, don't look around..."

"But she looks good..."

"Puff..." Li You was ridiculous. He never expected that Yan San would say such a thing.

This sentence directly made Uncle Hu and Young Master Yan frown on the opposite side, and Li You quickly cursed: "Third Brother, what are you talking nonsense? He is a young master, how can he describe it as a good-looking person?"

You should know that in ancient times, men were very afraid of others using female adjectives to describe themselves. However, many young people in modern times like to dress themselves up with femininity. In ancient times, if you said that the other person was good-looking, it would be the biggest insult to the other person.

As soon as Li You finished speaking, Yan San still insisted: "Do you look good at it... look like my mother..."

"Uh..." Li You was speechless again, so he had to quickly explain to Mr. Yan and the Uncle Hu: "Two, I'm sorry, my third brother is a simple person and has no scheming. He says whatever he thinks... I'm really sorry."

"It's nothing... my young master is indeed..." Before he finished speaking, Li You and Uncle Hu smiled similarly. The content of this smile was of course self-evident.

Young Master Yan’s lips and teeth are white. If he dressed up a little, no one would disbelief that he was a woman. However, Li You could not imagine that a woman would take a group of servants to Xiangzhou for assistance.

After all, ancient women were really not as free as modern women, nor had such a high status. Just like in modern times, you see a ten-year-old child driving a truck to help.

You may only think that the other person should be very short, but you will never think that the other person is a child, and the possibility is too small.

Along the way, Li You talked a lot with Uncle Hu, and Li You also told Uncle Hu about his views on the people. What surprised Uncle Hu was that Li You actually coincided with his ideas.

For a moment, the two of them became more and more speculative as they talked about it. Especially Uncle Hu, he felt that he had met too late for Li You. He really had the urge to change his party and get under Li You's command.

"stop...!"

Suddenly, Li You's four-wheeled carriage stopped, and Li You immediately asked outside: "What happened..."

"King..."

Qin Yong rode a horse to Li You's four-wheeled carriage and said, "Just now, I saw a passage in front of me with a telescope, but the thatch on both sides was grand and there were figures shaking... I was afraid there was an ambush inside... so I would like to ask the king if I could use hot turmeric oil...!"

Fierce tinder oil is oil. Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, recorded in his "Han Shu Geography" that "there is flammable water in Gaonu County."

This thing is very powerful. Once it is burned, the water cannot be saved. It can only be buried in sand and soil and extinguished. Even in water, it can be burned. There was a country called Byzantine that used fierce tinder to create a weapon called Greek fire.

Some people speculate that the Greek fire formula includes oil, saltpeter, quicklime, sulfur, etc. This way, the combustion performance is good. It can not only float on water, but also burn more violently when it encounters water!

The Byzantines put Greek fire into iron pipes, and after ignition, the combustion produces expansion force. Then, with the pressure of water, the Greek fire can be sprayed out, which can usually be sprayed three or four hundred meters away!

Once, the Arabs attacked Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. In this battle, the Byzantines showed their artifact, Greek fire for the first time. The Byzantines loaded Greek fire on dozens of small boats.

When they approached the Arab warships, they suddenly burst into flames, and some shot directly onto the Arab warships. The ships were burning and the Arab soldiers were trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

Some people did not shoot directly onto the Arab warship because the distance was too far. Unexpectedly, they would still burn when they fell into the water, and it burned even harder. Soon the fire spread to the Arab warship. As expected, the Arabs were defeated in this battle!

Li You has not yet studied the Greek fire idea, but as time goes by, Li You will definitely study the Greek fire. Now Li You has only made some rockets with strong tinder oil. After all, Li You is still in the range of being monitored by Li Shimin, and some things cannot be too much.

"Add to use strong turmeric oil, one hundred pieces..." Li You agreed to Qin Yong's request.

Soon... I heard Qin Yong shout loudly: "Line, prepare the Rockets, second row in front, third row in back...!"

"Crazy...!" Thirty soldiers in a row directly pulled open their divine arm crossbow, about 300 meters away. Thirty rockets shot out in the first round, followed by the second round and the third round.

After a hundred rockets were shot out, the thatch in front of them was just a small fire at first, but after burning for a while, the small fire instantly turned into a big fire.

At this moment, a miserable voice shouted: "Ah... I'm burning to death..."

"There is an ambush..." Qin Yong hurriedly shouted: "Array...!"
