Chapter 1619

~4 min read 670 words

Ying Ying Zi Ye was somewhat speechless.

Did this kid come up just to flatter him?

Wasn't he guarding the city gate?

How does he have the leisure to come up to the city wall?

"This..."

"Your Highness, this general did not leave his post without authorization."

"This general saw that the damaged city gate was teetering, yet it was slow to be breached."

"This general had already made arrangements below, so I ran up to see the situation here."

"Who knew the corpses outside had already piled up so high."

"Your Highness, why don't you use fire?"

While finding an excuse for himself, Han Xin did not forget to divert His Highness's attention.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was speechless; fire is indeed good.

But he came out in a hurry this time and forgot to bring fire oil.

Without fire oil, how can one use fire on so many corpses?

Just setting some fire below wouldn't be able to burn these corpses.

A fire attack without fire oil is a fire attack without a soul.

"I came in a hurry this time and forgot to bring fire oil."

"Otherwise, a fire attack would have achieved twice the result with half the effort."

"What a pity..."

Ying Ying Zi Ye sighed; even he cannot ensure everything is taken care of.

The corpses outside the city had already piled up high; if he had brought fire oil, he would have launched a fire attack long ago.

This is the reason why he knew fire attacks were good but had no way to use them.

"No wonder..."

Han Xin understood; so that was it.

This can be understood.

"Your Highness, let's use fire!"

Han Xin was still talking about the fire attack.

Upon hearing this, Ying Ying Zi Ye directly rolled his eyes.

"I already said I came out in a hurry and didn't bring fire oil."

"What fire attack? What are we going to use to burn?"

"Are you kidding me, kid?"

Han Xin was not discouraged after hearing this.

He turned his head and looked left and right.

"Your Highness, it's fine that you forgot to bring fire oil."

"This general brought fire oil this time!"

"We can go to logistics and get fire oil!"

Han Xin had a simple and honest smile on his face.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was stunned after hearing this.

This kid brought fire oil?

He hadn't thought about fire oil at the time.

How did this kid bring fire oil?

Does this count as giving himself a surprise?

"You brought fire oil? Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You didn't ask this general, Your Highness."

Han Xin looked a bit aggrieved.

If he hadn't been curious and come up to take a look, he wouldn't have known that fire oil was needed.

"You kid..."

Ying Ying Zi Ye gave a bitter smile; it really was a surprise.

He hadn't brought fire oil, but he hadn't expected the people below to have brought it.

It really was an unexpected surprise.

"Then what are you still standing here for?"

"Don't you see the situation is critical?"

"Hurry up and bring your fire oil up here!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye revealed a smile; it's easy to handle if there's fire oil.

"This general will be right back."

Han Xin hurriedly saluted and left the city wall with quick steps.

Before long.

Han Xin returned with hundreds of soldiers.

Everyone was holding a sealed wooden barrel in their hands.

Inside was exactly the fire oil.

These things were fire oil refined by the Academy of Sciences.

Originally, he hadn't thought about bringing fire oil either.

It was just that there was no need to rush on the road; he could just open a portal.

Because of that, he brought some fire oil along.

If he had to rely on manual travel, he wouldn't have brought these things.

Originally, it was just to be prepared for any eventuality.

Who knew it would actually come in handy this time.
