NOVEL NEXT Chapter 90 Secret Weapon
In fact, when the fire reached the central courtyard, the fire had weakened considerably, and there was a well in the central courtyard. Many people had already started to put out the fire, but just as they put out the flames, suddenly someone came from outside. A box of barrels flew in.
"What are those things?"
Half of Zaterk's eyebrows were burned off. It can be said that he was extremely miserable at this moment. Many people's goods were reduced to nothing. He finally saw a glimmer of hope. Who knew that so many barrels were thrown in from the outside? From the feeling They said they thought the barrels were dangerous.
"Asshole, this is lamp oil, who threw it in?"
A businessman climbed up and smelled it, and said such a stupid thing, who else could have thrown it in? If it weren't for those people outside, lamp oil is so expensive, and who would have eaten so much to hold up such a big bucket? Ordinary people blow out their lamps at night just after dark because they can't afford to light them. If they didn't want to burn you to death, who would throw in such a large bucket of lamp oil.
"Get water and wash away the oil. If the fire comes later, it will burn down our place."
Zaterk issued an idiotic order. Of course, for people of this era, it is common sense that water can put out fires, and it is also common sense that lamp oil can help fires. As long as the lamp oil is washed away with water, the fire will burn. They couldn't get up, but they didn't know that the oil would be on the surface of the water. If it encountered sparks, the fire would go wherever the water went.
"Looking up..."
Although Li Xiang didn't know what was going on inside, but according to the insider's description, there was water in the yard inside, so the fire might not be able to get in. Once they wet all the wood in the yard, even if they put oil Even if it was thrown in, there was no way to ignite it, so Li Xiang prepared to add a round of rockets.
Dozens of soldiers lit the heads of bows and arrows. When Li Xiang put down his hand, the burning arrows rushed in, and then there was a fire inside. Next to him, Cheng Chuliang was very impressed. He was very impressed. There were many people fighting in Tang Hui, but Li Xiang was definitely not one of them. But with Li Xiang's performance today, Cheng Chuliang felt that even if his father was here, he probably wouldn't be able to fight like this.
The fire had been burning for more than an hour. Although people around wanted to go in to see what was going on, Li Xiang had just given the order. Everyone could only watch from the outside. If any people came out, , let them go home quickly, so that they can save their swords and eyes.
Now that the fire is getting weaker and weaker, Li Xiang ordered everyone to stand ready. A lot of people should have been burned to death. After the fire reduces a little, we can take people in. Anyway, gold and silver and other things are also there. If you can't burn it clean, come here tonight. We can't go back empty-handed. The Tuyuhun people have made a lot of money doing business over the years. This is their base camp in Chang'an, and a lot of money is stored here.
The various ministries quickly received Li Xiang's order and started searching from the outer courtyard. If there were any survivors, everyone would just kill them. After entering, everyone found that everything was burned black and the wood turned into black ash. People also turned black and gray.
Everyone was originally prepared to fight, but they didn't expect that after enduring here all night, there was nothing when they came in. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the central courtyard, perhaps the only place where there were survivors.
"Pass this order, half of all the good things discovered will be handed over to the public and the other half will belong to you."
Some people have come out with copper coins. Although these things were burned hot, they can still be rescued. Some people have come out with silver coins and threw them all on the cloth at the door. Special people will come to count them later. .
The Tuyuhun people occupied the communication line between Datang and Tubo, so they were able to do bilateral trade. After Tubo merchants arrived in Tuyuhun, they had to trade things to them and could not sell directly to Datang.
On the contrary, the same is true for the merchants of Tang Dynasty, so they took a huge advantage. The Tuyuhun people ate up all the biggest profits from bilateral trade, so they were all very rich. After a while, the door was already at the door. There was a mountain-like pile of copper coins.
"Your Highness, I have got all the things you asked for, but there are only about twenty of them. These are very expensive. Why do you want such things?"
Qian Ping ran over panting, followed by several cars. The cars were filled with porcelain bottles. This was not the 21st century. These things had not been widely promoted in the Tang Dynasty. Only some nobles had porcelain bottles in their homes. , and they are all white porcelain bottles with a slight yellow tint on them, which is all caused by poor porcelain firing techniques.
"Pour in all the remaining barrels of lamp oil, then tear apart these rags, leaving a piece of cloth outside. Listen to my orders later, and everyone with torches will stay away. Tonight I will I don’t want one of us to turn into a pig.”
There were no glass bottles in this era, so Li Xiang could only use these porcelain bottles first. When he attacked later, Li Xiang had to use a few simple ran flasks. He watched several soldiers coming over with torches. Li Xiang was startled, but instead of burning others, burn himself to ashes first, so he quickly told these guys to get away with the torches.
Although everyone still doesn't understand what's going on, we will do whatever His Highness says. This matter will not go wrong.
"People from all walks of life came in. There were no big casualties. There were only a few minor injuries. There was no one on the outside. They all evacuated inside. We captured a living person just now. There were seven or eight people who evacuated inside. Ten people, including archers, we have to be careful later.”
Changsun Chong pulled a living person from the side, but it was already beaten to a state of disgrace. Just now, the kid had a tough mouth, but now he has two less fingers out of ten, and the mouth is not as hard anymore. Explain everything inside. .
"Don't worry, let our people go up the wall."
Li Xiang looked at the porcelain bottles with a smile. If you guys resist later, don't blame us for being careless.
"What a damn wall! Look how burned it is. When the house collapsed just now, these walls were all crumbling."
Changsun Chong pointed to the distance and said, Li Xiang then saw that they were all made of adobe walls. When the houses collapsed, many of the walls had already been smashed. This also saved trouble. The house in the middle was still there. Burn, let's go straight in later...
