Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Chapter 148 The Power of Fire Coverage

"Withdraw the siege and attack, that means attacking Sun Hu."

Yu Jin's brows were tightly knitted. The situation they discussed the most today was to directly attack Sun Hu.

But no one has come up with a good response strategy.

"By the way, how is Sun Hu now?"

Huangfu Qingling frowned. While Sun Hu had not yet met up with Xiao Changyun from the capital, there was at least room for discussion.

If Sun Hu marched quickly all the way, I'm afraid they would have even less room for discussion!

"I gonna go see."

Prince Qing said this and turned to leave.

But Lin Yi caught up with him and stopped him.

"Your Highness, when you get to the barracks, count how many bombs you brought with you."

“And Molotov cocktails.”

Lin Yi said, "It's better to figure it out clearly."

"That's...ok, I'll make sure the numbers are good."

Having said this, Prince Qing immediately rode his bicycle to the military camp surrounding the besieged city.

"Why did you still think of attacking Sun Hu in the end?"

"I don't understand."

Seeing Lin Yi coming back, Huangfu Qingling immediately asked.

"Attacking Sun Hu will not only destroy his manpower but also serve as a warning to others."

Lin Yi explained, "I just asked His Royal Highness Prince Qing how many incendiary bombs and bombs he brought with him this time."

"A bomb? What is this?"

Yu Jin was quite familiar with incendiary bombs. After all, he had seen them when Prince Qing went south to quell Prince Qi's rebellion.

This kind of weapon used for surprise attacks has indeed been effective time and time again.

But he was confused when it came to bombs.

"Yang Jian, Huang Chang, please step aside."

Lin Yi was about to speak when he saw Yang Jian and Huang Chang still standing beside him.

This thing should be considered the most confidential thing in the military.

But Lin Yi changed his mind and thought that it could be used to create even more amazing things after further development, so he waved his hand slightly and asked them to stay.

Anyway, it wouldn’t be a big deal even if the two of them reported Yan Nan.

Before I was able to use oil, I had a lot of ideas in my head.

After all, petrochemical industry requires a lot of high-tech stuff.

It’s not that Lin Yi doesn’t understand, but... he really doesn’t have the conditions for this thing.

Every time this happened, he would think about how much it would help him if there was a system.

How many detours can be avoided?

But that was the fact and he had no choice but to admit it.

"I discovered some mines west of Liangzhou City."

"There are several kinds of strange minerals in it. When mixed with charcoal, they will cause a violent explosion as soon as they are ignited."

Lin Yi explained slowly, "Then I used this feature to make a bomb."

"I seem to have heard of this as well."

"Every year there are some folk wonders. I have seen similar ones before."

Huangfu Qinling recalled and said, "It seems to be called fireworks, which are made by alchemists when refining elixirs."

"Yes, they are one kind, but the mines I discovered are plentiful."

Lin Yi nodded slightly and said, "So I stuffed it into a jar, and then...stuffed some gravel and iron fragments into it."

"Connect a fuse outside..."

After hearing these descriptions, Yu Jin fell silent.

He looked at Lin Yi. Why would a good businessman have so many... novel ideas?

Yang Jian and Huang Chang, on the other hand, were sweating profusely.

Just by listening to these descriptions, they could imagine how terrifying this thing was.

Crushed stone and broken iron?

After the explosion, it can affect many places. If it is thrown into a crowd of people... it will explode everywhere!

Fortunately, the Emperor of Yan later established a relationship with Lin Yi and reconciled with Dayong.

Otherwise, if this thing were really used, the Yan army, which didn't have much armor, would have lost countless people...

"What I'm thinking of is a thunderous firepower blanket."

"Use the fastest speed, with the help of Molotov cocktails and bombs, to defeat Sun Hu."

Lin Yi said slowly, "Anyway, these things can't be used to attack the city, so just use them all."

"Indeed... If we can use these things, combined with the Black Tortoise Chariot to charge into the formation, it would be quite good."

Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly.

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly Yu Jin laughed, "With so many of us together, we still don't know as much as Lin Yi alone."

After laughing, he slowly explained, "The biggest problem with attacking Sun Hu isn't being backstabbed, but time!"

If there was enough time, they could even repel Sun Hu and then turn around to attack Xiao Changyun!

"So now the problem is solved?"

Lin Yi looked at everyone, even Bao Bu Tong had no objection.

After today's discussion, he understood one thing.

It’s not that Lin Yi’s method is bad, but the situation in reality changes too fast!

Not long after, Prince Qing returned.

"Sun Hu's army is on his back now, and the distance should be about sixty miles south of the capital."

After Prince Qing returned, he immediately reported, "It seems they are marching all night long, and they are probably going to rush to the capital overnight."

"Then we don't have much time."

Yu Jin nodded slightly as he spoke, "Your Highness, how many bombs and Molotov cocktails are there?"

"We've counted them in every camp. There are 6,500 Molotov cocktails in total. The bombs we brought are much smaller, 3,600."

Hearing this, everyone's mouth corners turned up.

How much power can 3,600 bombs and 6,500 Molotov cocktails have?

While everyone was excited, they felt a chill down their spines.

"Throw it out at the fastest speed, it should be able to cause widespread damage."

Only Lin Yi remained calm.

"But, the distance a person can throw something is limited."

"The farthest anyone in our army could throw was only twenty feet!"

Although Prince Qing agreed with Lin Yi's approach, he had limited manpower.

"Use the Xuanwu Chariot to project it out."

Lin Yi slowly said, "Throw the bomb first, then throw the Molotov cocktail, and use the flame from the Molotov cocktail to trigger the bomb."

"Throw more together, it should be fine."

Under this arrangement, everyone has begun to ignore Sun Hu's 70,000 troops.

Because they are all dead!

"By the way, Your Highness Prince Qing, it would be best if Sun Hu could be captured alive. If that's not possible, at least bring his armor and other things."

"If it really breaks into pieces, then we can take down their flag. That way, we can really make an example of them."

When Prince Qing was about to make preparations, Lin Yi reminded him.

"I'll try my best. I really don't know what Sun Hucheng will be like after such a large-scale killing."

Prince Qing's Lianshan gave an awkward smile.

"Why do you want to keep Sun Hu?"

"Being able to use such thunderous force is actually enough to intimidate people, right?"

Yu Jin asked thoughtfully.

"Only the enemy's persuasion to surrender is the most useful!"

"Attack the heart first!"

Lin Yi explained.

These words instantly made Yu Jin stand in awe.

Businesspeople do think differently.

When they fight wars, they attack and conquer; when businessmen do business, they focus on winning people's hearts.

Yang Jian and Huang Chang both agreed with this point, after all, Lin Yi was just trying to win people over.

Even the Yan State Emperor Yan Nan was successfully "conquered" by Lin Yi.
