Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 47 The Strategic Value of Gasoline

The young new sultan of Khwarezm was supposed to break out of the siege today and jump on his horse into the Shen River.

Then he went down the river, entered the Delhi Sultanate, achieved great success, and later led his army back to Khwarezm. Mongolia would have to completely annihilate it during the Ogodei period.

But because of the appearance of Zhang Yong's little butterfly and the advance appearance of the gasoline-burning fire attack, he was unable to escape at all.

Instead, he died in this sea of ​​fire, and there were others buried with him.Hundreds of thousands of civilians in Khwarezm, and some of the last resistance troops in Khwarezm.

The Mongolian army's catapult attack range covers a wide area. In addition to the infantry phalanx and the cavalry phalanx on both wings, the ships in the rear are also targets.

The entire surface of the Shen River was burning violently.

This monstrous fire burned for a full day and night. The Mongolian army stopped attacking at noon because the gasoline allocated by the 100 Western Region craftsmen led by Zhang Yong had been used up.

However, the subsequent fire-fighting operations were extremely slow. There were no forklifts in this era. The Mongolian soldiers could only slowly put out the fire with sand and soil in cloth bags.

The army continued to pile up sand and soil to extinguish the fire. Even with such caution, several horses were burned. It lasted until the next morning before the fire was extinguished.

"Poor sweat! The fire has been put out. There are no living people in Khwarezm. Some were burned to death, and some were smoked to death or choked to death." After cleaning the battlefield, the Mongolian army officer came to Genghis Khan. , said.

"Well, are there no living people?" Genghis Khan asked, looking at the burnt black river beach.

"There is no profuse sweat! They were all burned to death, and there was no one left alive." The Mongolian general next to him wiped the black ashes from his face and said.

Today's fire attack is completely different from the fire attacks they used in the past. The burning fire cannot be extinguished with water, and it will burn even more after watering.

I really didn't expect that the thing brought by this divine messenger was so sharp and extremely lethal. If this thing were to exist in the future, the Mongolian army would be invincible and invincible.

During a siege, if this thing is ignited and then thrown into the city with a catapult, it will greatly kill the enemy.

Their Mongolian army has another good tool for conquering cities and territories.

"This item is extremely powerful, and the formula must be kept strictly guarded. Immediately send me a military order to put all the craftsmen who have participated in the preparation of this item, and those who have been in contact with them recently, under my control." Genghis Khan nodded. He spoke.

I thought there was a tough battle to be fought today, but I didn't expect that it would be fought without a single soldier.

The new Sultan of Khwarezm and his army were burned to death with a fire, relying on the gasoline donated by Zhang Yong.

There was no need to even clean the battlefield. There were no living people on the entire battlefield, and the smell of burnt meat was everywhere.

After this battle, all resistance forces in Khwarezm have been completely eliminated.

The generals should not complain too much about the reward he bestows on Zhang Yong. After all, Zhang Yong deserves the greatest credit for making this battle possible without spending a single soldier.

"As ordered, Khan." The Mongolian general nodded and said.

For such a powerful thing, his preparation method must be strictly preserved, and the craftsmen of these Khwarezm molds must be strictly monitored.

If they let this thing leak out, it would be a great disadvantage to their Mongolian army.

"Zhang Yong, you did a good job this time. You first used the flying artifact to help me detect the enemy's situation, and you also gave me suggestions to use fire attacks, allowing us to eliminate the enemy without spending a single soldier. You have the greatest credit." In Mongolia. After the general left, Genghis Khan turned to look at Zhang Yong and said.

"I don't dare to take credit. I'm just talking a little bit." Zhang Yong said.As long as you understand some of the characteristics of gasoline and use it properly, the power that gasoline can produce is huge.

Especially in the ancient medieval battlefields, the lethality and terrifying deterrence produced by this thing were directly aimed at people's hearts.

I really don’t know how much impact it would have on this era if I could develop explosive packets or even all the things in the design of military pyrotechnics.
"A meritorious service is a meritorious service. Although you did not go to the battlefield to command, I used the fire attack exactly according to your wishes. You don't have to be modest. After we triumph, we will reward you." Genghis Khan said. .

Genghis Khan's meaning is obvious.

In my place, you are rewarded for your merits and punished for your mistakes. There are not so many sects.

Seeing this, Zhang Yong could only nod in agreement, but the power of gasoline was still a bit beyond his imagination.

"This battle is the easiest one I have ever fought. I wiped out tens of thousands of enemies without spending a single soldier. I can't wait to use this thing against the Jin people." Genghis Khan said.

This thing called gasoline is so awesome that you have to use a lot of sand and soil to put it out, which is extremely time-consuming and impossible to do at the beginning of a war.

Once this thing explodes in the camp of the Jin Army, it will cause a serious blow and psychological shadow to them.

"The Jin army was of course vulnerable to the Great Khan's cavalry." Zhang Yong said.

Even if I didn't take action, if it weren't for the civil strife among your sons vying for the throne after your death, the Kingdom of Jin would have been destroyed several years earlier.

Now that there is such a thing as gasoline, the Jin army has no hope of winning in the field.

After all, once the gasoline burns, no matter how good your military skills are, how powerful your soldiers are, or how good your equipment is, it will all end up being burned to cokes.

This is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. Even gasoline has a greater psychological impact on people than firearms.

The Jin Kingdom's demise is expected to accelerate much faster.

"Hahaha! Even without your gasoline, the Jin army will never be our opponent in the field. After fighting so many times, I know them very well." Genghis Khan said.

During the Battle of Yehuling and the encroachment of Muhuali over the years, they had already found out the details of the Jin army.

"The Khan is mighty." Zhang Yong said.

Next it was time to clean up the loot. The people were burned to death, but the belongings they brought were not burned. After all, real gold is not afraid of fire.

The Mongolian army stayed by the river for three days and three nights, and took away all the gold and silver that had not been burned, loading dozens of carts of gold and silver.

Then the charred bodies on the river bank.They were buried with sand and the battlefield was cleaned, and then the Mongolian army withdrew.

In this pursuit of Zalandin, the entire army received a large amount of loot, and there were no casualties, which directly created a small military miracle.

Genghis Khan also took this opportunity to publicize Zhang Yong's offering of gasoline and his proposed fire attack.

It gave Zhang Yong a wave of reputation in advance.
