Chapter 1337
The night gradually darkened, and because the general attack was scheduled for the next day, the camp outside the city seemed very quiet. Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else fell asleep early.

But at Minwy Castle, for some reason, the lights seemed to be reduced a lot that night.Under the cover of night, it looked a little dark.

However, in the inner square of the city, groups of Ming soldiers were silently busy.In the middle of the square, there were objects placed one after another. Although they were shrouded in dim lights, the soldiers of the Ming army here had never been seen before.

Khmelnytsky, the leader of the Cossacks, was ordered to launch a general attack on the enemy outside the city as soon as it was light tomorrow.

This order made him very puzzled. There was such a disparity in the strength of the two sides, why they didn't hide in the city to defend, but took the initiative to attack.Even if the Ming army can fight again, how can it be possible to agree to an enemy several times its own?You know, the coalition troops outside the city are elite troops from all over the world!

For this reason, he made a rare objection for the first time and expressed his concerns.After hearing this, Man Gui smiled and said to him: "Of course, the commander-in-chief will not do such things as moths jumping into the flames. The reason why I made this decision is because the enemy will be defeated. If you are worried, don't do it tonight." Go to sleep and enjoy the scene you have never seen before!"

This answer made Khmelnytsky very surprised and very curious. What kind of scene could make so many troops outside the city be defeated by the [-] troops inside the city?This seems a bit unbelievable!
At this time, he was following Man Gui, watching the soldiers of the Ming army busy in the square.Li Dingguo, on the other hand, fell asleep early and did not come to watch.

Khmelnytsky discovered that the items on the square were all transported from Ming Dynasty before the Allied forces attacked.At that time, the defense was very tight, and the warehouse where the objects were stored was also guarded by soldiers day and night.After seeing this, he became even more curious, what is this thing, can it really make Da Ming win this battle?
Under the busyness of the soldiers of the Ming army, the object slowly changed.

It seems to be a piece of cloth, but the inside is empty, filled with air, and it slowly bulges up.It got bigger and bigger, and finally it became a long, round thing.Under this thing, there is a big basket...

Khmelnytsky was very surprised, so he wanted to take a closer look, but was stopped by Man Gui: "There are regulations, it is impossible to approach, it may be dangerous."

In fact, Man Gui himself was also curious, and wanted to take a closer look.However, those who are manipulating over there are the real disciples of the emperor, so that the current emperor is called a master, and he has to abide by the strict orders for any irrelevant people to approach.

This is actually something that can’t be helped. At this time, Daming can’t make helium, so he can only use hydrogen to inflate the airship, which is very dangerous.Therefore, Air Force personnel must handle airships with great care.Otherwise, it is very likely to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot, and then the first actual combat will be smashed.

That's right, what is being prepared in the square is Daming's air force, and the leader is Xu Zhengming.In the past, I have been unknown because of the need to keep it secret.

Speaking of which, airships are greatly affected by the weather.Moreover, the airship at this time is too heavy and heavy. If it is used during the day, it can be used for siege warfare, but it is basically useless for defending the city.The enemy is not a fool, so he will definitely take precautions.However, with the cover of night, it is different.Anyway, in the enemy's camp, there was a bonfire as a guide, and there was not much hindrance.

The airship slowly inflated and began to levitate.This scene made everyone who had never seen it open their mouths in surprise.And when two soldiers of the Ming army entered the gondola, one man operated the airship, the other tidied up the things loaded into the gondola, then untied the cables and began to lift off slowly, everyone was stunned.

Because Khmelnytsky had never heard of it before, he was even more surprised from ear to ear, he flew, he flew with people, my God, people flew...

One, two, three... a total of 25 airships, all of which flew successfully in the end.

Man Gui naturally knew what was going to happen next, so he quickly called his personal guard and told him to wake up Li Dingguo, which was agreed by both parties.

Looking up, I watched the airship rise higher and higher. After reaching a certain height, the airship began to float in the same direction, which was the enemy's camp outside the city. The target was the camp of the Chinese army that had been observed during the day.

The pilots of the airship are all in the chat group, and the officers of the Air Force communicate and command through the chat group.

At this moment, even these Air Force soldiers are very excited.After all, this battle is the first battle since the establishment of the Air Force.The Chinese have always attached great importance to a good start. Therefore, this battle is a crucial battle for the Air Force.

They are not even the only ones. In the chat group, some bigwigs from as far away as Ming Dynasty, such as Emperor Chongzhen, Minister of War Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of Officials Sun Chuanting, Metropolitan Procuratorate Hong Chengchou and others who know soldiers, and those who don’t know soldiers, including Chief Assistant Wen Tiren , Fu Chen Xue Guoguan, etc., as long as they are in the chat group, none of them have slept, and they have to witness the sacred first battle of the Air Force that has never been seen before.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen even prepared enough achievement points to allow several air force officers and soldiers to shoot videos from different angles for live broadcast.

On Mingwei Fort, some soldiers who were ordered to sleep early like Li Dingguo were notified at this time, got up quietly, and all went to the top of the city to watch the upcoming first battle of the Air Force.

In the dark night, after the airship troop took off, after slowly moving towards the enemy camp outside the city, it slowly faded out of the sight of the soldiers of the Ming army at the top of the city.He could only vaguely see black shadows that seemed to be moving in the dark night.After a little further, it is completely invisible.

At this time, everyone opened their eyes wide instead, looking at the enemy camp in the distance, wondering where the magical airship unit flew to, and what will happen next?
Time seemed to stand still, making people wait extremely tormented.

Wait, there is still no movement, wait, there is still no movement...

I don't know how long I waited, and some people even began to suspect that those airship troops, don't they fly to nowhere?
However, Man Gui and Li Dingguo were very calm, and other soldiers did not dare to make noise or discuss because of military discipline.He could only continue to wait silently in the dark night.

The coalition army camp outside the city is still as usual.Under the night, it seemed very quiet.Those burning bonfires, dotted around, can prove that there is a huge military camp over there.

I don't know how long it has passed, but I feel that it is already the middle of the night, and if there is no more movement, it will be dawn when I look back.

Suddenly, in the camp of the coalition army in the distance, there was a bonfire that was suddenly stimulated by something, and suddenly exploded, the flames soared into the sky, and even the nearest camp was on fire.

Upon seeing this movement, the spirits of everyone on the Mingwei Castle were lifted.With this movement, it must be that the airship troops are doing something.

Man Gui and Li Dingguo knew better than they did, because they knew in advance that the people who boarded the airship before were crocks filled with kerosene.The bonfire of the enemy's camp in the distance changed suddenly, and it must have been hit by fierce fire oil.

Khmelnytsky's eyeballs almost spit out. Daming was able to surprise the enemy's camp from the air. The fire was so burning that the enemies outside the city probably thought it was a divine fire, right?

The enemies outside the city are indeed doomed. No wonder the adults said that they would leave the city early in the morning to launch a general attack on the enemies. Now, he understands!
At this time, the airship troop was already in the sky above the enemy's central camp, and the distribution was a bit scattered. Cans of kerosene were thrown down, and the enemy's camp below was quickly on fire. Many living people were struggling, and they brought more camps on fire.Countless coalition soldiers were startled, and ran out of the camp to see things falling from the sky. The fire became more and more fierce and could not be extinguished.For such soldiers who don't know the truth, they thought that God was punishing them.

Ignorance, fear, and the intertwining of various psychology made the coalition camp outside the city even more chaotic.

Some are running for their lives, some are struggling, some are praying...

Anyway, this chaos, because each soldier has different psychological endurance and different cognition, and has various reactions.In the final analysis, it can be summed up in one word: chaos!

The chaotic situation gradually spread to the entire barracks.Fear and panic are spreading...

The bombing of the camp in the dark was originally a very dangerous thing, not to mention the blow beyond their knowledge, which exacerbated the chaos of the military camp.As the gunpowder was ignited and there was an explosion, the fire became more intense.

Under the panic, the soldiers of the coalition army seemed to be crazy, and the casualties began to increase exponentially.

In the coalition camp, this kind of sudden change was completely uncontrollable, and the camp was completely blown up.

In fact, not many coalition soldiers were burned to death. After all, how many cans of kerosene can be carried by 25 airships?The casualties of the soldiers of the coalition army are more those who trampled to death in the dark night, and those who are afraid of killing each other without recognizing their relatives, let alone not too many.

Soon it was the darkest time before dawn. In Mingwei Fort, the soldiers of the Ming army who had been awakened by the movement outside the city had already received orders to prepare for battle.

What probably happened outside has been explained before.One is to avoid chaos in the city, and the other is to boost the morale of the army.Obviously, the air force airship unit that appeared in front of the world for the first time has a bonus to boost morale beyond imagination.And the shouts of chaos outside the city made the soldiers of the Ming army want to rush out of the city immediately.

Therefore, all the soldiers of the Ming army who were ordered to attack were excitedly obeying the order and preparing to attack.

When the east was just showing its fish belly, and the darkness covering the Eastern European plain was dispelled by the light of dawn, the gate of Mingwei Castle was lowered, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty rushed out of the gate first, rumbling horseshoes, carrying dust, chaotic The regiment's coalition camp launched an assault.

At this time, it was already bright enough to see the situation clearly.The coalition soldiers who escaped from the camp, at least from the burning camp, finally saw something in the sky above their camp.

25 airships that have thrown away the fuel tanks are flying in the air. For those who see it for the first time, it is really not too shocking.Especially when they saw clearly that the flag of Ming Dynasty was painted on the top of the airship, and there were people on it, also wearing the military uniform of Ming Dynasty.It was even more shocking and unrepeatable.

The Ming army can fly! ! !Obviously, this is beyond their cognition!

Under the shock, the soldiers can't find the general, and the general can't find the soldiers.It is naturally impossible to conduct cross-border command among the various countries in the coalition.The soldiers of the coalition army are messing around like headless chickens!I saw the long dragon of the Ming army coming out of Mingwei Fort, divided into several parts and rushed over.

At this time, the soldiers of the coalition army all escaped from the camp in panic.Not only were they unarmed, some even didn't wear pants.Seeing the Ming army's iron cavalry rolling in, no one thought of resisting. The first time, it was Sa Yazi who stayed away from the direction of the Ming army's charge.

Although there are many soldiers in the two armies, they are like lambs on the plains of Eastern Europe, fleeing in all directions under the attack of wolves.

The [-] cavalry army and [-] infantry troops, under the command of Li Dingguo, Man Gui and others, had the opportunity to drive away the coalition soldiers and drive them to the Volga River.

On the top of Mingwei Fort, the soldiers of the Ming army who were on duty at night originally wanted to rest.But at this time, they did not go to rest, but watched from the top of the city.Seeing his comrades driving the enemy like cattle and sheep, he couldn't help but get excited.

Especially when the Ming cavalry saw that the enemies in a certain place seemed to form a group to resist, the Ming cavalry rushed straight through, leaving behind a lot of corpses, and dispersed the group of enemies again, forcing them to flee to the Volga River.Every time they saw this wonderful scene, the soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city quickly pointed and applauded loudly.

On this day, according to history books, the Volga River stopped flowing, and blood stained the entire Volga River. It is said that the fish in this river became so fat that no one dared to catch them for many years to come.

The Ming army has been chasing and killing them. Even if some soldiers of the coalition army fled to the other side of the Volga River, there will always be the sound of horseshoes behind them.

And at noon, the coalition soldiers stationed at the checkpoint in the Ural Mountains received a fast horse flying report, indicating that Weiburg was defeated!

In this regard, no one wants to believe it, let alone listen to the explanation that the Ming army attacked the camp with flying things last night. This is simply a fantasy, how is it possible!
However, as part of the defeated army fled here, they couldn't help but not believe it.

In the panic, some advocated returning to aid immediately, and some advocated fleeing immediately. Under the panic, no one has absolute authority to unify and command the armies of various countries on the Ural Mountains.

Before they made a decision, the Ming army on the east side of the Ural Mountains attacked them.A steady stream of Ming troops came out of the checkpoint.The slope to the east is gentle, which happens to be an excellent terrain for condescending combat.

This side is led by Yang Sichang, who gathered the cavalry army of the Mongolian Grassland Department of the Ming Dynasty, reaching 15 people.Of course, these are said to be cavalry, but more of them are actually herdsmen, and they cannot be compared with the elite cavalry under Man Gui.But at this time, it is enough to deal with the panic-stricken coalition forces.

At the two checkpoints in the Ural Mountains, the Ming army continued to rush down from the hillside like flowing water. The coalition forces did not have a decent resistance at all, and they collapsed.

The Battle of Fort Mingwy was one of the largest battles in human history; it was also the first time in human history that the air force shocked the world and became the most critical turning point in the war.

After this war, Europe, at least Northern Europe, was already under the control of Ming, and there was no longer any force that could be hostile to Ming.

On the southern front, the Ming army also harassed the enemy, which surprised Murad IV of the Ottoman Empire who was attacking the city.

The Ming army actually appeared in the territory of the Persian Empire and captured the army's material transfer station.Immediately, he understood that the United Fleet must have been defeated in order to give the Ming army the opportunity to take advantage of the sea.

The food road in the rear was cut off, and it would be more fatal to his army, especially the larger the number.

Murad IV panicked, he was not sure, and took Dhaka before the food and grass ran out.Not only that, he was even more worried, wondering how many Ming troops attacked the rear by sea?I wonder if the Ming army invaded the Ottoman Empire?You know, he brought out all the domestic troops in this expedition!
