Chapter 127
Oil is the artery of industry, but China is actually one of the first countries in the world to discover and utilize oil.

The first person to mention oil was Ban Gu, a famous official in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He recorded in "Hanshu Geography" that in Shangjun of the Western Han Dynasty, "Gao Nu has water, which is flammable."

However, industrialization failed to start later, and the utilization of oil was very simple. The most common way of using it was to burn it.Even the surface oil was wasted, and it was labeled an "oil-poor country" during the Republic of China.

Therefore, it is absolutely reasonable and reasonable for the officers and soldiers at this time to use oil to attack Li Gui, and there is no sense of violation.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, "asphalt production" and "fire oil production" using petroleum as raw materials began to appear in the military workshops of the government handicraft industry.

When fighting the enemy, the Song army used mechanical devices such as "tube cabinets" and "cupping jars" to spray out fierce fire oil, which was very powerful.

In addition, people also use petroleum for steelmaking, medicine, and ink making.

For example, Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty described "Jishui" in "Mengxi Bi Tan": "I knew that the smoke could be used, so I tried to sweep the smoke into ink. The black light is like paint, and it is not as good as pine ink. This thing will become popular in the world."

What we are talking about here is the ink made from petroleum fume. It is said that Shen Kuo's "petroleum ink" was greatly appreciated by Su Shi, an expert in ink making at the time, and was considered to be superior.

Shen Kuo not only proposed the name "petroleum", but also believed that oil was "born in the sand and stones of the north", "mixed with spring water, and came out in confusion", and made the conclusion that "the most oil is produced in the ground endlessly", " The prophecy that this thing will become popular in the world later."

The officers and soldiers encountered this time were obviously well prepared, including fishing nets and horse ropes. The preparations were very complete. Even if they brought more petroleum and other firearms, it was very reasonable.

If Li Gui's force had not been too exaggerated, he would have fallen here.

Now the general of the army saw that the stone cannon could not stop Li Gui, so he lured him closer, and then sent sergeants with strong arms to throw earthen jars filled with oil over.

Even if Li Gui didn't use his ax to block it, the earthen jar would shatter when it hit the ground, but it would still be effective.

This group of red-armored soldiers had clearly been trained for a long time, and their projections were very organized, with relatively even landing points.

There was only a "crackling" sound, but in an instant, Li Gui saw that the ground dozens of feet around him was covered with oil, and the smell of rotten eggs permeated everywhere, making him feel nauseous.

Then there was a gong sound in the military formation, and the original rain of arrows suddenly stopped. A new batch of red-armored archers came up, and dense rockets were fired at them when they raised their hands.

As soon as the rocket landed, all the oil was ignited, turning Li Gui into a human-shaped torch. Within a hundred feet, it was like a hell on earth, with flames steaming everywhere.

The people watching from a distance behind him were not originally worried about Li Gui's safety, but when they saw a sudden change, they immediately became anxious and hurriedly rushed forward to prepare to save people.

But I heard Li Gui yelling in the steaming flames:
"You don't have to come here!"

"I can handle it myself!"

Not only did the human-shaped torch not fall down, but it also took long strides and continued to rush towards the official army's main formation.

His body was covered with oil flames. Wherever he went, burning oil would drip down. Every time he took a step, there would be another flaming footprint on the ground.

The way Li Gui looks now is like Zhu Rong coming to the world and the God of Fire resurrecting. Even this group of soldiers who have been playing with fire all year round can't help but feel shaken and commotion.

The commander of the army did not stop, there was another bang, and a group of black-armored soldiers came up again. What they held in their hands were not bows and arrows, but bamboo tube-like things.

They pointed the bamboo tube at Li Gui, pushed the machine, and shot water lines at Li Gui.

This water line is very thin, and the amount of water is very small. When it encounters fire, it immediately evaporates into gas, and the oil droplets float into the air. The oil and water mix together, and are ignited by the fire, forming a "deflagration" in an instant.

There was a "boom" and a shock wave was heard on the spot, lifting Li Gui several feet away and falling heavily to the ground.This was the first time since the war started that Li Gui suffered a defeat.

People on both sides were in a commotion, staring closely at the figure on the ground, holding weapons tightly with both hands, ready to respond at any time.

Under the eyes of everyone, Li Gui was seen rolling on the ground. Regardless of the size of the flames on his body, he got up and cursed angrily:
"Thieves and birds!"

"Using this kind of despicable means is unworthy of a human being!"

"If your temperature were several times higher, you might be able to refine Grandpa. If you only have this temperature, it would only be enough for Grandpa to use a sauna!"

Everyone didn't know what the so-called sauna was, but they heard that Li Gui was unharmed even after being attacked. They were relieved. After all, Li Gui was still the pervert, and these attacks couldn't hurt him. He didn't look like a human at all. , maybe it’s really the God of Death descending to earth.

Li Gui's performance was so exaggerated that the morale of the officers and soldiers immediately rose. The leading general sighed and was about to order the withdrawal of troops, but suddenly he saw Li Gui bending down and gasping hard and coughing.

The general was overjoyed and shouted:

"He was injured by the flames, but he just managed to hold himself up!"

"While he is sick, kill him!"

"Don't miss this opportunity, keep attacking, don't stop!"

The troops also became energetic and threw the petroleum jars over again, hoping to repeat the previous tactics.

The general didn't know that Li Gui was not burned by the fire, but choked.

Since entering the star position, Li Gui not only has stronger strength and extraordinary five senses, but his physical fitness has also been completely transformed. In addition to being invulnerable to all poisons, he has also gained the ability to be invulnerable to water and fire.

Now Li Gui's fire resistance is extremely high, even if he jumps into the lava to take a bath, it won't be a big problem.

However, the burning of oil will produce a large amount of toxic exhaust gas and various gray smoke. Although the poison cannot kill him, the rejection reaction in his lungs makes him very uncomfortable.

And it exploded just now, consuming all the surrounding oxygen. The oxygen outside was not replenished for a while, and he yelled there again, and the result was... lack of oxygen!

Seeing the officers and soldiers repeating their old tricks again, this time Li Gui did not sit still and wait for death. He picked up the hot double axe, opened his bow left and right, and swung it forward. The huge ax rotated like the blades of a fan, carrying wind and thunder. Zhiyin was involved in the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

Such a huge hidden weapon can only be thrown by Li Gui, and the effect is excellent.

Where the ax passed, two flesh-and-blood alleys suddenly appeared among the ranks of the officers and soldiers, and there was a sudden sound of howling.

Taking advantage of the restlessness of the officers and soldiers, Li Gui leaned down, kicked the ground hard with both feet, dug two deep pits in place, and sprinted forward.

Without the burden of the two axes, he was extremely fast. He stepped on the ground to create a tornado of sand and stone, carrying the flames on his body and crashing directly into the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Gui stepped into the military formation, there was an immediate boom, and a ball of flames rose from his feet, knocking him backwards.

 Are you still worried about the balance of combat power?
  Are you still worried that your combat power will collapse?

  The era of military generals is about to end, and the future will be the spring of technical generals.

  Sir, times have changed!
