At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 537 The Air Raid Begins

In Topkapi Palace, Muhad just fell asleep, but was awakened by a noise.

"I have an urgent military situation and need to meet His Majesty the King immediately!"

"Lord Kaxia, His Majesty the King has just fallen asleep, what is there to wait for tomorrow..."

"We can't wait until tomorrow, we must now!"

"But……"

"Don't talk nonsense, Constantinople is at stake, if you don't take action, it will be too late!"

Muhad opened his sleepy eyes, feeling annoyed.

No matter who it is, eating hot pot and singing songs in a good way, it is a sad story to be beaten to the door of the house suddenly.

You can't kill without nodding your head, why don't you sleep now?

Destroy it, tired!

Hafez has already rushed in, loudly said: "Your Majesty, something big is going to happen!"

Muhad looked at him helplessly and said, "What can't we talk about tomorrow, is the sky falling?"

"Yes, the sky is falling!"

Hafiz nodded solemnly, and added: "The Ming army is likely to attack from the sky!"

Muhad was a little confused, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and wondered in his heart, did he get angry?
The Ming army attacked from the sky... Could it be that the orientals have magical witchcraft and can fly to the sky?

Hafiz pulled Hanuman away and said, "You tell me!"

"what?"

Hanuman froze, what am I talking about?

"What are you doing in a daze, tell me how that letter of war was sent into the city!"

"Yes... it floated in from the sky..."

Hanuman stammered and told the whole story, and Muhad asked doubtfully, "It's not difficult for a kite to fly into the city. What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty the King!"

Hafez looked distressed and said, "Since kites can carry gauntlets, can't they carry bombs?"

Only then did Muhad come to his senses, and murmured, "You mean... the Easterners would tie bombs to kites and fly them into the city?"

"Exactly!"

"Then... what should I do?"

"Immediately issue an edict and put the whole city on alert!"

Muhad scratched his head and said, "If the Easterners really attack from the sky, how should we defend?"

The current situation has exceeded his cognition, even if he sees through the Ming army's offensive methods, so what?

The defenders in the city can't fly, how to defend?
Hafez sighed, and said: "There is no good way at present, but the ammunition carried by the Ming army is limited, His Majesty immediately issued a warning, instructing the people in the city to find shelters and hide to minimize casualties. Once the Ming army's offensive is over, Reorganize troops to counterattack."

Muhad's eyes were dull, and after a long time, he said: "Send an edict!"
-
"The direction of the wind is due southeast, and the error is less than ten degrees."

"Wind power, above level five."

"The wind speed is stable, it can be released!"

The manned Kong Ming lantern in charge of the investigation fell, and Mei Chun began to collect data, ignoring Fan Mingchen who was slumped on the ground.

Seeing the calculation results, Belin immediately ordered: "The data is fine, according to the predetermined location and predetermined time, prepare to fly the Kongming Lantern!"

The students of the Academy of Sciences acted nervously and orderly, assembling a frame of Kongming lanterns, carrying bombs, and setting the length of the lead.

As long as there are accurate parameters, the flight time and tipping point of the Kongming Lantern can be calculated.

But at this time, Fan Mingchen was holding the wind measuring instrument tightly in his hand, looking at the wobbling chicken head, he felt a chill in his heart.

It's so scary, it's flying into the sky!
There is only a quarter of an hour left before the attack time, and everyone is preparing nervously, repeatedly checking the length of the lead wire to ensure that the Kongming Lantern can be detonated at the designated position.

Tong Xuan led a few people to load up the large Kongming Lantern. Everything was ready. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fan Mingchen who was still shivering, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"what!"

Fan Mingchen almost jumped up, and he was relieved when he saw that it was Tong Xuan.

Tong Xuan smiled and said, "What, are you afraid?"

"how come?"

Fan Mingchen retorted subconsciously: "I... how could I be afraid..."

"Why are the pants wet?"

"Sea breeze, heavy humidity..."

Fan Mingchen blushed to the base of his neck immediately, but luckily no one else could see him because of the black light.

Through this test flight, he personally felt what it means to be overwhelmed by heights, and he couldn't help but look at these powerless students with admiration.

I thought that the Academy of Sciences was just using their brains by relying on messy new inventions, but now it seems that I am so ignorant.

He stood up tremblingly, thinking in his heart, he should do a good job in the promising job of guarding!
"I'll go to the periphery... have a look, you guys are busy!"

Seeing him trembling as he walked, Tong Xuan couldn't help laughing, and then greeted: "Wait a minute!"

"what?"

Fan Mingchen turned his head, not knowing what happened.

Tong Xuan pointed to the anemometer in his hand, and said, "Is it still in use?"

"No, no need..."

Fan Mingchen smiled awkwardly, handed the anemometer to Tong Xuan, then turned and left.

The hourglass is slowly leaking, which means that the attack is about to begin.

Belin ordered decisively: "The first batch, let them fly!"

Fluorescent lights were lit in the camp, and Kongming lanterns carrying bombs began to rise into the sky.

Under each lampshade hangs a black iron ball, which is a high-energy yellow powder bomb.

The lead wire of the bomb is connected to the wick and locked with a special machine buckle.

According to the calculation results, when these Kongming lanterns float over the city of Constantinople, the fuse will be ignited, and then the bomb will fall off.

The southeast wind was very steady, and the first batch of two hundred Kongming lanterns rose slowly and drifted northwest.

In the night sky, a large number of dotted lights suddenly appeared, flying towards Constantinople.

It was midnight and everyone was fast asleep.

Suddenly, there was a rapid bell in the city, and a large number of soldiers appeared on the street, holding gongs in their hands, beating around.

"His Majesty the King has ordered that everyone seek shelter on the spot and prepare emergency medicine..."

The people in the city woke up one after another, not knowing what happened.

Why do you need to find a bunker and prepare emergency medicine? Did the Ming army enter the city?

Everyone panicked for a while, not knowing what to do.

Hafiz has ascended the Clock Tower, the tallest building in Constantinople.

Here, you can see the whole picture of the whole city, at a glance.

He took out a binoculars and looked outside the city...

If the Ming army really attacked from the sky, it should be ready at this time.

Suddenly, he was shocked, because he saw a camp in the southeast direction, with lights on.

Hafiz stared closely at the bright light in the telescope, tried hard to distinguish, and then saw the fireflies starting to rise into the sky, and drifting towards him.

In the night sky, these faint stars were inconspicuous, but he knew that disaster was imminent.

"It's over, it's over..."

Hafiz suddenly lost strength in both legs, and fell to the ground, muttering incomprehensibly.
