Can black water catch fire?

This news is really shocking.

Some oils can ignite, but those oils will not have this effect even if they are ignited.

And it is easy to extinguish. How can it stick to the body and not be extinguished?

After this small fire, everyone was equally frightened.

And this night, no one dared to sleep, for fear that something strange would happen after they fell asleep.

After the fire incident, the twelve of them no longer dared to light a fire.

Don't just extinguish one group and cause another one.

What puzzled them the most was, what on earth was that black water?

Why does he burn?

And why is it so difficult to extinguish if it sticks to the body?

Although Chen Fengzhi seems a little slow in some aspects, he is well-informed after all.

Chen Tieshan has cultivated him a lot over the years, so his thinking is much broader than that of Li Huai and others.

Especially when he recalled the image of the black water burning and sticking to the soldiers' bodies, Chen Fengzhi instantly remembered another use of this thing.

Yes, it is for military purposes.

This thing has outstanding advantages whether in offense or defense.

The next morning, Chen Fengzhi and others figured out the cause of the fire last night.

The black water that was not there during the day came from the exploring cave they dug yesterday. The black water slowly flowed out through the exploring cave.

Yesterday, they did not pay attention to the location of the bonfire, so the black water overflowing from the cave came into contact with the bonfire and was ignited.

Fortunately, it was discovered early enough and the scale was small, so it was put out in time.

Chen Fengzhi and others deliberately took some black water from the ground, found a safe location, and ignited it for testing.

It turned out that it didn't seem to be easily ignited, so I held a torch and lit it for a while before lighting it.

However, after it is lit, it can be carried with a wooden stick, and it can still burn for a long time.

One month later, Chang'an, the Ministry of War!

Wang Li arrived at the Ministry of War early in the morning as usual.

Although the military reform is just that little thing, there are many things that need to be done.

As the leading department, the Ministry of War naturally has a heavy burden.

But early this morning, Wang Li received a message as soon as he came to work.

The officials sent several tightly sealed bamboo tubes with a letter attached.

These things were delivered last night, so they were delivered to Wang Li early in the morning.

Of course, one of the bamboo tubes in Xinhe had been opened.

The person who sent this information was naturally the commander of the Golden Army.

Since it is a newly formed army, the organization and other establishments are directly based on those after the military reform.

In addition, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, so many things are much easier to do.

The Golden Army is just what everyone calls it. In fact, after the military reform, each army has its own number.

For example, the Praetorian Guard is organized into the First, Second, Third and Fourth Guards Corps.

The number of the golden army is the 111th Army, and the road and bridge troops are the 222nd Army.

It's a bit troublesome, but the only trouble is recording. It's still very effective in keeping secrets and confusing opponents.

"Water that catches fire? It sticks to people and is difficult to remove? Can't be extinguished with water? Any suggestions for military use?" Wang Li frowned after reading the entire letter.

Then he turned to look at the commander of the Golden Army and asked: "Is the effect really as stated in the letter?"

“It’s basically the same thing, except it’s a little hard to light, but it works great!”

The commander of the Golden Army is actually a mascot.

The headquarters is located in Luoyang, and the subordinates are located all over the country. They have no fixed residence and can travel back and forth in every area of ​​the Han Dynasty.

And wherever you go, you can eat wherever you go, just go and pick up the supplies. You are not allowed to give them anywhere.

And his only task is to decide the exploration plan of each battalion based on the actual situation. This year he will go here and next year he will go there. Anyway, it is just going in circles.

However, what he didn't expect was that the prospecting could also reveal military equipment.

And it sounds pretty good.

This thing can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and it has no requirements on the weather.

When attacking, throw a few directly at the city gate, or directly smash them on the city wall. The fire will burst out and no one can stand on the wall.

If the city gate is burned down, doesn't it mean that there is no one to defend the city?

The troops entered the city easily, so what happens next is still a matter?

When defending, you can throw fire jars from a high position, which can form an isolation zone to kill and intimidate the enemy on a large scale.

However, ordinary fire attacks do not have this effect.

Unless it hits you directly on the head, you can't dodge it.

But the first injury in this case is a bruise, not a burn.

Even if the clothes on your body are ignited, you can put it out by rolling on the ground a few times. As long as the speed is fast enough, the fire will not cause any harm to the human body.

But this black water is different. If you stick to it, you can't get down. It's useless to roll on the ground. It will only make the fire on your body get bigger and bigger.

If water can't be put out, the only way is to lie on the ground, have someone cover the fire with earth, and then step on it with your feet until the fire goes out.

But on the battlefield, where is the time to do these things?

We are in the middle of a battle, and then we say to the enemy, "Brother, let's stop for a moment, let me put out the fire on my brother's body, and then we can come back again?"

It's noisy, isn't it?

Besides, once this thing is thrown out, it will become a big mess. In this situation, the people around you may not be able to protect themselves, so how can they still have the energy to take care of you?

Therefore, although this thing is not a mine, he still thinks it has military value.

Wang Li stood up curiously and looked around the thing carefully.

There was a slightly pungent smell. Looking at the dark and sticky layer, I wanted to touch it, but I quickly took my hand back.

After all, this thing cannot be extinguished once it is set on fire. If it gets set on fire, do you still need your hand?

But why do you inquire about it? Why do you think it's a little strange? Is this thing really so magical?

So Wang Li found an open space in the yard and asked someone to take out a small bowl and pour some out.

Just let people light it up in the yard and experience it. After all, seeing is believing.

However, everything is as written in the letter and the military commander said, it is really difficult to ignite, but after it is ignited, it feels a bit like dog-skin plaster.

Wang Li also realized that this thing might become a new piece of equipment for the Han army. Although it would not be used on a large scale, it was still necessary to equip some in some important places.

For example, at Hangu Pass, if there were enough numbers there, a million-strong army would be able to kill them all with just two thousand troops.
