No siege?
The three old ministers at the scene were a little confused!
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty came all the way. If they didn''t attack the city, could they open the city gate and invite the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to pass through?
Gao Shilian''s wrinkled cheeks were full of doubts.
"Tang Hao, do you have a wonderful idea? Can you crack the solid city?"
Tang Hao gave birth to a finger and pointed to a hill near dawangcheng.
"If the map is accurate, this hillside must not be far from Dawang city."
"The sergeants who inquire can occupy this hill and throw some fireballs into the city pool under the cover of night. Presumably, the King City will become a sea of fire. It should be nothing to refine the city with a raging flame."
Li Jing listened and shook her head.
"No, the water in dawangcheng comes from the living water of Liaohe River, which is continuous all year round, and there is no shortage of water."
"Mu Dongjiao, the general guarding the city, dug four vertical and horizontal waterways in the city and divided the whole city into nine areas. If you can''t break the city, the fire in the city will be quickly watered out by this living water."
"Moreover, this hill is originally a fortress in Koguryo. Of course, it is guarded by humble mud legs. It is easy to seize it."
The method of fire attack was denied by Li Jing in an instant. The faces of changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were more dignified, and the two eyebrows had been screwed together.
Tang Hao looked relaxed as a foreign enemy. He moved the map on the table aside and poured a cup of hot tea for the three elders.
As if nothing had happened, he took a sip and leaned timidly on the seat behind him.
"If the fire can''t be extinguished, it can burn on the water?"
Hearing this, the three were obviously stifled. They looked at each other as if they were looking at a fool''s expression and looked at Tang Hao with a comfortable expression.
Water and fire are incompatible. Not to mention these shrewd old ministers, even those children who herd cattle in the countryside know this very well.
Changsun Wuji stood up, gathered in front of Tang Hao, and stroked Tang Hao''s forehead with his rough palm.
"You are not hot, how can you say such nonsense?"
"A fire that burns on the water?"
"I''m lucky to have seen a three legged bird once. It''s incompatible with the two things. How can they blend harmoniously?"
Li Jing waved to let changsun Wuji stop, looked at Tang Hao solemnly, and said earnestly.
"Hao''er, my father-in-law knows you''ve always been resourceful, but he thought of white phosphorus and other things?"
"To be honest, even if we start collecting in the territory of the Tang Dynasty from today until the end of the new year, the collected white phosphorus is not enough to burn several houses, let alone the city!"
"In other words, the white phosphorus is a delicate thing, which is very easy to ignite. We will go to Koguryo all the way, and there will inevitably be some accidents on the way. Don''t say it''s to burn the city at that time. I''m afraid the carriage carrying the white phosphorus won''t burn enough!"
Gao Shilian, with a dignified face, slowly took over the conversation.
"What General Li said is good."
"This white phosphorus is really very rare. It looks like a maggot on the tarsal bone. It is difficult to remove it when it is attached to the utensil. Before it is burned, you have to gouge out the skin and flesh to remove the root."
"This dark thing also has a name, ghost fire. Haunted, a real battlefield ghost."
"But this thing is as hard to find as gold!"
His hands were close to Tang Hao and patted on his shoulder.
"Tang Hao, it''s not advisable to use the fire attack technique. You''d better think of another move as soon as possible and give up these unreasonable ideas!"
White phosphorus?
Tang Hao shook his head again and again.
"White phosphorus is too low-end, and I don''t want to ask for trouble by such crude means."
"Besides, the effect of this thing is too poor. It doesn''t burn violently. The flame can''t even be regarded as a deterrent. How can we turn the city into a sea of fire?"
Sun Wuji stared.
"Did you come up with any new inventions?"
Up to now, Tang Hao did not block it. He sipped hot tea and slowly came.
"Black oil must be no stranger to your elders. Tang''s strategy is this black oil."
"I originally wanted to refine a little and make some fuel that can replace shells, but this time, I changed my mind and used it to target the King City."
Gao Shilian shook his head and waved his hand.
"This thing is not a treasure. It smells very fishy and disgusting."
"That sticky thing is not easy to light, and it is difficult to remove it from your clothes."
Shaking his head like a rattle, Gao Shilian obviously disagreed with Tang Hao''s clever plan.
Tang Hao didn''t want to say about the simple extraction. Even if he said it, these illiterate old ministers must look confused.
"Uncle, father-in-law, these things are not as bad as you say, and their wonderful functions are infinite."
"Tang has a refining method here, which can separate the inflammable things. It will be clearer than water and will not sink to the bottom."
"It will grow with the wind and burn with the fire. The magic lies not in floating on the water, but in splashing with water. It will become bigger and bigger and burn into a piece."
Being able to burn on the water has subverted the three people''s cognition. Putting out fire with water is getting bigger and bigger. It''s almost unheard of!
The three looked at each other, half convinced.
"Boy... Is this... True?"
Tang Hao put down his tea cup, smiled and looked at three suspicious faces.
"In three days, I will perform it again. If you are interested, three predecessors will come to watch!"
