Chapter 1082: You have flaming oil? Why didn't you tell me earlier?
He also had a lot of private soldiers, 20,000 more than the fourth brother.
Therefore, he didn't care how many of his men would die in this battle. The more they died, the angrier his father would be, and the less hope the fourth son would have of seizing the throne.
The general who protected the country was very dissatisfied when he heard this.
He naturally knew what the two princes were planning, but the battlefield was not a bargaining chip for them to increase their chances of seizing the throne, and he could no longer accept failure.
"No! Fourth Prince, the forces of Dai Yue are stronger than ours. Although we are at home and our soldiers are stronger than Dai Yue, we are far outnumbered. We cannot fail again! If we continue to fight like this, our forces will be even weaker than the enemy. We can only win this battle, not lose!"
The fourth prince was very angry:
"General, why do you want to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? How do you know you will lose before the fight even starts? The other side just has more people and fierce fire oil, right? We can also go collect fierce fire oil! I remember there is a fierce fire oil mine in the western suburbs of my Tagu City, but I didn't think of its use before and ignored it. Since Daiyue can use fierce fire oil to attack with fire, why can't we?"
"Really? You have flaming oil here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Nisby slapped her thigh and jumped up excitedly.
Although he looked very happy, he cursed in his heart: What a waste! Guarding the fierce oil mine but not knowing how to use it, what a waste! It would have been better if he had said it earlier, so that he wouldn't be so passive.
The fourth prince raised his head proudly:
"What don't I have in my fiefdom? There are iron and silver mines!"
The third prince immediately said:
"There are also tungsten and gold mines in my fiefdom."
The national defense general was speechless.
Yes, you are amazing! You have mountains of gold and silver, but I, a general, have nothing and have to fight for your family and build an empire!
The two princes had no idea of the general's criticism and were both proudly showing off how good their fiefdoms were.
"Then let's get some people to collect the flaming oil! Let's also launch a fire attack!"
The Protector General immediately sent soldiers who were familiar with the location of the fierce fire oil in the fiefdom of the four princes to fetch the oil.
When Qiao Ran and his team were almost approaching Tagu City, Huang Dabiao, who was observing around with a telescope, suddenly said:
"There are a dozen Northern Desert soldiers there, and they seem to be carrying water!"
Qiao Ran also immediately looked over there through the telescope. After watching for a while, he suddenly rode his horse and galloped over there.
Seeing this, Mo Beihan and Huang Dabiao didn't ask anything. They just said something to General Zheng and followed behind with more than 20 people.
When the soldiers of Beimo saw the Dai Viet people suddenly appear, they were so scared that their legs went limp.
Qiao Ran looked into the wooden barrels and laughed.
"Ask them where they got the kerosene."
She asked Mo Beihan to translate.
Mo Beihan mumbled for a while and shook his head: "They refuse to say."
Qiao Ran sneered: "You're quite courageous!"
The leading Beimo soldier muttered something loudly, and Mo Beihan translated:
"He said this was Northern Desert land and the flaming oil also came from Northern Desert, so he couldn't tell us. He said we were bandits and robbers."
"Ah!"
Qiao Ran sneered:
"When they repeatedly harassed our northern border and slaughtered our northern border people like livestock, why didn't you say they were demons and robbers? There is a cause for every effect. If they hadn't repeatedly violated our border, would we have attacked them? No more nonsense, grab these dozens of barrels of kerosene first, and then give them back later."
