Half an hour later.
Jiang Tian and his group arrived at Qilian Pass.
"My lord, follow me." Li Guang rode his horse at the forefront, and after rounding several huge rocks, Jiang Tian could already smell the pungent odor of gasoline.
His eyes were so irritated by the smoke that he could barely open them.
Jiang Tian saw those huge rocks, behind which was a lake.
However, this lake was not filled with clear water, but with dark, flammable oil.
This lake covers an area of at least two to three thousand acres.
If there's so much flammable oil in the open air, how much flammable oil is stored underground? It's impossible to estimate.
"Li Guang, take the wooden buckets and fill them all with this potent oil."
"yes."
Jiang Tian looked at the fire oil; it was of very good quality.
With a little refining, kerosene and gasoline can be extracted.
Moreover, these fire oils played an increasingly important role during wartime.
"Li Guang, pack as much as you can, don't worry about the trouble, these are all good things."
"promise……"
That evening.
Li Guang transported more than 2,000 barrels of flammable oil.
All the flammable oil was piled up together.
"Li Guang told his brothers that no open flame should be near the flammable oil, otherwise an explosion would be a problem."
Li Guang was greatly surprised when he heard this.
He didn't know what an explosion meant, but it sounded scary.
"My lord, what do you mean by an explosion?"
"An explosion is an explosion. It produces intense combustion in a very short time, enough to turn a person into pieces," Jiang Tian explained casually.
The ability to blow a person to pieces in a short time is something that no ancient cold weapon could do.
"Pass down the order: no source of fire is allowed near the raging oil."
The group set up camp.
The cavalrymen in charge of cooking quickly set up the pots and started preparing the food.
Jiang Tian walked towards Princess Xue'er's carriage.
Qin Hongyu blocked his way, grabbed Jiang Tian's arm and shook it gently: "Brother, now that the new is better than the old, you might as well throw me away."
Jiang Tian smiled slightly, reached out and pinched Qin Hongyu's chin: "Why can't you sleep at night? Are you missing me?"
"Big Brother, you're so mean, you're asking a question you already know the answer to."
"Alright, I'll ride in your carriage tonight. I'll go back and take a good bath, make myself smell nice."
Qin Hongyu nodded gently: "Even if I don't bathe, I smell wonderful all over."
After the little girl finished speaking, she flew away like a happy swallow.
It was late at night.
Jiang Tian saw torches moving in the distance.
He jumped into Qin Hongyu's carriage.
"Big Brother, you're here?" Qin Hongyu had just finished bathing, and the little girl's hair was still wet.
Qin Hongyu flew into Jiang Tian's arms like a happy little bird.
This little girl has long since lost her fiery temper and has become gentle and docile.
"Hongyu, tonight I'll take you out and we'll ride horses across the grassland."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyu blushed slightly: "Big brother, you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve."
This little girl is getting the wrong idea again.
Jiang Tiantian saw many torches in the distance, and he knew that they were definitely not Huo Qubing.
He wanted to see who those people with torches were.
The two quietly stepped off the carriage, mounted their horses, and galloped away into the distance.
Li Guang chased after them from behind.
"My lord, it's late at night, and the grasslands are teeming with wolves. Where are you going?"
"Just taking a casual stroll."
"General Li, your lord and I will go together, nothing will happen." Qin Hongyu was focused on her date with Jiang Tian, and she didn't want Li Guang, such a third wheel, to come along.
"My lord, the fire in the distance has seen you too."
If I'm not mistaken, those are most likely Huns.
"It's alright, I'll take Miss Qin to see him. You go back to the military camp; the camp can't function without people."
Before Li Guang could say anything more, Jiang Tian and Qin Hongyu had already galloped away on horseback.
Even if Li Guang really wanted to go, he wouldn't dare.
Qin Hongyu's meaning was clear: this young girl wanted to spend some time alone with Jiang Tian.
...
The torches in the distance didn't look far, but it took the two men a full half hour to reach them.
That was a tribe.
More than a dozen bonfires were lit in the tribe.
The men were drinking heavily.
The women sang and danced around the campfire.
Qin Hongyu and Jiang Tian dismounted.
They approached stealthily.
"These Xiongnu people live a carefree and happy life, without any worries all day long," Qin Hongyu said with envy.
Jiang Tian immediately noticed that something was wrong with the question.
“Listen carefully, can you hear a woman crying?”
Qin Hongyu gently turned her body to the side, and without even needing to listen carefully, she could hear the cries of many women.
"These women are from the Great Xia."
"Besides women, Da Lang also has quite a few men." Qin Hongyu, this young girl, was very strong. She pointed to the stables of the tribe.
As expected.
Many men of the Xia Dynasty were captured by these Xiongnu people and tied up in the stables.
This Xiongnu tribe had a considerable number of people.
"Bring up a hundred of the most beautiful women from the Great Xia Dynasty and tear off all their clothes!" shouted a dark-faced Hun man. He was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist.
