Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 336 Greek Fire Returns to the World

The huge burning stones smashed into the wall with a roaring sound, and the explosive packs produced an even more terrifying deterrent effect.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions was heard endlessly. Some Hungarian soldiers screamed and were blown up into the sky. The huge burning stones ignited the wooden houses in the city.

Although these solid European city walls are all made of stone, some of the houses inside are made of wood.

Suddenly, the city was filled with fire.

"Hahaha! That's it. Someone took out the gasoline can and threw the gasoline into the city, making the fire burn more fiercely than me." Looking at the situation in the city, Zhang Yong put down the high-definition telescope in his hand and said .

"It's the military advisor. Everyone listens to the order. Now instead of launching boulders and explosive packets, we will launch gasoline cans, throw them into the city, and throw them towards the burning place." The messenger said.

After hearing this, all the Mongolian soldiers immediately changed their clothes. He took out all the gasoline cans placed aside, put them on the catapult, and threw them into the city.

Large quantities of petrol cans were thrown into the city. Many soldiers had even a little spark on their bodies. As long as they were touched by this golden liquid, they would immediately burst into flames and turn into little burning people running around crazily.

"Quick, quick, quick! Get water to put out these flames." Some of the nobles on the city wall began to direct their soldiers to participate in the fire-fighting operations.

But they didn't know that the flames on the burning flints emitted by the Mongolian army were not ordinary fires, but flames poured with gasoline and thrown out.

Even later, Mongolian soldiers would use catapults to throw some jars in, and the jars were filled with gasoline.

Now, bombing with gasoline explosive packs has become the standard tactics in Mongolia. During siege warfare, the tactics designed by Zhang Yong are adopted. First, bombing is carried out with explosive packs and gasoline cans.

It is too cruel for these people who believe in God to completely break down the enemy's defense line psychologically and use the fire that cannot be extinguished by water.

"Ah! Ah! These, these fires can't be extinguished, but after being thrown on with water, they become even more fierce." A Hungarian soldier said in horror.

Originally, he wanted to rescue the soldiers who were on fire, but after the gasoline on the other party's body ignited and water was poured on them, the scene was simply horrific.

He witnessed with his own eyes that a colleague was roasted to a crisp and fell to the ground, too dead to die.

"Ah! Ah! No, please don't pour water on it. This kind of fire cannot be extinguished with water. Instead, it will intensify the burning." A nobleman shouted.

Countless nobles began to shout frantically and directed their soldiers to stop using water to put out fires.

But if you don’t use water to put out the fire, how do you put out the flames on your body? So will this kind of flame, or this kind of golden liquid, be completely dead after being stuck on it?

"What on earth is this? Why, why are there flames that cannot be extinguished by water? This is not in line with common sense, this is not in line with common sense at all." Archbishop Hugo Lin looked at the burning soldiers and the burning city in front of him, and murmured He muttered and said.

"Ahem! The black smoke from the fire has a pungent smell. Please don't smell it." A Templar knight covered his mouth and nose and shouted.

"This must be, this must be the flames of hell, these devils, these devils are using the flames of hell." A Templar Knight said in horror.

Oh, God! How can there be a fire that cannot be extinguished by water in this world!

This kind of thing, this kind of thing simply cannot exist in the world!

This must be the devil, it must be the devil! Demons from hell.

“Don’t panic, this thing is Greek fire, and the same is true of the legendary Greek fire.

The Mongols, the Mongols definitely mastered the recipe for Greek fire, the legendary Greek fire. "Bela IV stood on the city wall, frowning and said.

The characteristics of this fire are very similar to the legendary Greek fire.

According to legend, Greek fire is a flame that is ejected in a spray method. It can burn violently on the water and cannot be extinguished. This kind of flame is very terrifying.

It once made great military exploits for the Roman Empire, but for unknown reasons, this method of extracting Greek fire was later lost.

Until a few decades ago, this legendary Greek fire was copied by the Ayyubid Dynasty of the YSL country during the Third and Fourth Crusades.

The Crusaders were defeated under this kind of flame, and even countless warships were wiped out by this kind of Greek fire.

Greek fire is a natural weapon of war, possessing quite terrifying power. Legend has it that when the flame burns, the bottom will appear blue, and it can burn crazily for several hours even on the sea.

And according to legend, it is not afraid of water, it is very similar to the thing used by the Mongols.

You know, his wife Bella IV was a Byzantine princess.

The Byzantine Empire was the Eastern Roman Empire, and Greek fire was the weapon of their Eastern Roman Empire.

It is recorded in ancient documents that the legendary Greek fire used a very magical oil to burn.

It's a pity that because of the decline of the Roman Empire, they lost such a thing as Greek fire.

Unexpectedly, after being copied again by those YSL pagans, the Mongols actually mastered this kind of thing. This terrifying Greek fire.

"How is it possible? This, this is actually the legendary Greek fire. Isn't this kind of thing lost?" A Templar Knight said.

"No, have you forgotten? Have you forgotten how Jerusalem fell? Have you forgotten how the headquarters of the Knights fell to those infidels?

They used this kind of flame, exactly the same, this is Greek fire, the legendary Greek fire. "A Crusader veteran in his sixties said.

He had participated in the Crusades and had seen such terrifying flames, but the one used by the Mongols seemed to be more terrifying than the Greek fire used by the pagans.

Why, O God, do you not give this fire to your people, but to the heathen?

You should give us this powerful flame and let us destroy those heretics!

"King, Your Majesty. Your wife was once a princess of the Byzantine Empire. Does she know? How do we crack the Greek fire? How do we deal with this kind of flame?" Archbishop Hugolin looked at Bella IV, asked somewhat anxiously.

"Unfortunately, my queen does not know the specific configuration method of Greek fire, nor does she know the weaknesses of Greek fire.

If they had known these things, the Roman Empire would not have declined, and they would not have only a little bit of land left. Bella IV shook his head and said.

Just kidding, if you still have the recipe for Greek fire, will it be your turn to be arrogant? The Roman Empire had long since made a comeback and began to expand.

Even if his wife knew the detailed recipe of Greek fire.

Then will he, the king, still be suppressed by these nobles? I've already killed them all.

But, the Mongols, how on earth did they get Greek fire? Why do they have Greek fire?

Could it be that she is the sister of the little princess's own wife? Does he have the recipe for Greek fire in his hand? Did he then give this recipe for Greek fire to the Mongols?

No, no, this little princess shouldn't have the recipe for such a terrifying thing. If she does, she has no reason not to give it to her country.

"I think, I think, I know how these Greek fires were obtained by the Mongols." A bishop next to Archbishop Hugo Lin said.

"Tell me, how did the Mongols get this thing? How could they have Greek fire?" For a moment, everyone looked at the bishop in front of them.

“According to some records in the church’s classics and some news about the contagion from the Crusader countries, more than ten years ago, when the Mongols were just rising, they launched a massive Western Expedition.

Genghis Khan's army not only attacked the territory of the Russians, but also the Bulgarian Khanate. Their army passed through the vast desert and the Gobi and entered Khwarezm, a great country in the YSL world.

The Mongols spent several years destroying the empire that once dominated the Central Asian world. The Khwarezm Empire was very powerful. It is said that if the Mongols did not launch an attack, their army was planning to expedition to Baghdad.

To completely dominate the YSL world, it is a pity that because of the previous generation of Mongolian Khan Genghis Khan, Khwarazm’s ambitions were completely evaporated, and Khwarazm was destroyed by the Mongols.

In recent years, the influence of the Mongols has even extended to various countries in Central Asia. I think it was precisely because of the last Western Expedition that the Mongols got something like Greek fire. "The priest said.

It was also from that time that the Mongol Empire came into the eyes of the believers. From that time on.

The previous generation of popes and this generation of popes began to suspect that the Mongols were the legendary Elder Kingdom, or that they had inherited part of the former Elder Kingdom.

This involved another secret history, so he did not tell everyone present, but simply explained why the Mongols possessed Greek fire.

"This matter. The Mongols defeated Khwarezm and obtained the recipe for Greek fire from them, right?" Bela IV said.

It was really difficult to deal with. If there was such a thing as Greek fire, they would be completely at a disadvantage.

"Yes, the Ayyubid Dynasty and the Mamluks have mastered the use of Greek fire. There is no reason why the Mongols can't get these things.

It is said that the way to prepare Greek fire is to use a kind of black oil. This kind of black oil is very common in Central Asia, but it is not available here. "The bishop said.

"Dear Bishop, I would like to ask you if you know the specific method of extinguishing Greek fire? This is the most important thing for us now. Otherwise, our city will probably persist in the face of such a terrifying weapon. I can't stand it any longer." Bella IV said.

Now that the Mongols have the means to break into the city, their plan to strengthen the walls and clear the country will be completely ruined.

If this city cannot stop the Mongols, they will be trapped and die here.

"Unfortunately, I don't know, but we can try other conventional methods of extinguishing fires. For example, take things and beat them, or bury them with some sand or the like, and take away some things that can burn." The bishop said .

"That's all we can do. God bless, I hope we can get through tonight, and I hope the Mongols won't launch an attack tonight." Bella IV drew a cross on his chest and said.

"But His Majesty the King. If we gather all the troops here, what will happen to those Kipchaks? Just let them leave." Hugolin said.

Apparently a certain archbishop still held on to some Kipchaks.

"Don't you see? This is basically the Mongolian strategy. Once we mobilize the army to clean up those Kipchaks, we will fall into the Mongolian strategy.

We have enough soldiers on the city wall. Even if they have weapons like Greek fire, they would not dare to attack rashly.

But if we don't have enough soldiers on the city tower, then the Mongols will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack, and then the entire city of Pest may fall. " Bella IV spoke.

Whose fault is it that has led to this current situation? It's not you who caused it, if you didn't play tricks and intrigues.

Join me and fight the Mongols honestly, waiting for reinforcements from the Papal State and the Holy Roman Empire to arrive, and we will not be so passive.

"These damn guys! Consider them lucky." Hugolin said with an angry look.

"Hmph! Okay, all the soldiers, fight with them until death." Bella IV said.

Throughout the night, the Mongols kept throwing gasoline cans outside the city, launching flaming flints and explosive packets, and took turns carrying out brutal bombings on the city of Pest.

The entire outside of the city was in flames, but it was okay.

After all, the attack distance of the catapult is limited, and it can only attack some city walls, but only the areas outside. The inner city is still safe and sound.

Under the cover of Zhang Yong's friendship, tens of thousands of Kipchaks rushed out of Buda City and began to join their cavalry troops.

They wanted to spread the news of the killing of the Great Khan to the soldiers fighting outside. The Kipchaks who escaped, after a few days, reunited with the Kipchak cavalry fighting outside.

These Kipchak soldiers had been discovered by the Mongolian reconnaissance cavalry troops sent by Zhang Yong a few days ago, and envoys were sent to them to bring them very bad news. Their great khan, Kotayan Khan, had been executed by the Hungarians.

At first, many Kipchak leaders did not believe these rumors, thinking they were just Mongolian lies, and wanted to shake their military morale.

But today, after meeting tens of thousands of female relatives and elderly people, they learned about this bolt from the blue.

"Woo! Khan! Khan was killed by them. We were obviously in the city and didn't go anywhere. The Hungarians and the knights of the church massacred us.

Many old people were forced to take up arms to protect us from leaving, and many children, old people, and women died in their hands.

There were more than 80,000 of us, but only 50,000 escaped, and more than 30,000 people died in the city. "An old man knelt in front of the Kipchak leader and said.

At this moment, these Kipchak cavalry fighting for the Kingdom of Hungary made an incredible discovery. My relatives, my relatives were actually killed by the Hungarians.

"How could this happen? It was clearly agreed that as long as we return to the 1st, we will become our own people and we will work together to deal with the Mongols."

"Those Hungarians lied to us. They tied up the Great Khan, set them up on the stake, and burned him to death. They burned the Great Khan alive." A herdsman knelt on the ground and said.

"Damn Hungarians, we are on the front line to resist the Mongols for them. We have been harassing the Mongolian army these days, but they, not only are they not grateful, they stab us in the back." Several Kipchak leaders were extremely angry. said.

"I will never work for the Hungarians again. They are a bunch of liars who want to bleed the last drop of our blood and then get rid of us all. They never believe in us."

"In this case, we will not stop doing it! We will enter the territory of western Hungary and directly start plundering."

"You are right. If they dare to kill our Khan and massacre our innocent people, elderly people, and women, we will massacre their elderly people and women."

Suddenly, the Kipchak crowd became furious.

"Everyone, let's meet the Mongolian envoys! The Mongols sent a team of envoys to surrender us.

Should we agree to the Mongolian proposal and surrender directly to Mongolia? "A Kipchak general said.

"There is no good solution now. Let's surrender to the Mongols!"

"No! The Mongols are our enemies. They want to occupy our grasslands. Hungary is also an enemy. We will directly rob the Hungarians' belongings. Then continue to run west, we will go to the Holy Roman Empire, or we will go to the Kingdom of France." Another Kipchak leader spoke up.

Surrender to the Mongols. There is not much difference between the Mongols and the Hungarians. They all just want to take advantage of them.

"Those countries will not take us in. They hate us more than the Hungarians."

"Then let's grab it."

"But what happens next? The Mongols' targets are definitely not just Hungary, and they will continue to attack."

"We can't surrender to the Mongols anyway."

For a while, the Kipchaks who gathered together divided into two factions. One faction advocated surrender to Mongolia, and the other advocated entering western Hungary, plundering the Hungarians, and then continuing to move westward.

The two sides were quarreling fiercely, and no one could convince the other.

"Okay! Don't talk anymore, let's plunder a wave of supplies for the time being, and then wander around the Hungarian land.

As long as the Mongols do not attack us, we will not attack the Mongols first and see how the situation turns out. "An old man said. (End of Chapter)
