Chapter 678 Hot Air Balloon

Therefore, Luo Yi summoned the soldiers of the Shenji Brigade who were in charge of manipulating the hot air balloon, and ordered them to start manipulating the hot air balloon.

Several hours later, the three hot air balloons were finally inflated, and the huge sphere towered behind the camp. The 20 Chinese soldiers, this was the first time they had seen such a weird thing, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

But Longyang City couldn't see the opponent's movements clearly. After all, the military camp was about three miles away from the city, and his vision was already blurred.

Luo Yi looked up at the three hot air balloons, and asked worriedly, "Are you sure?"

The head of the Tianbing Battalion of the Shenji Brigade smiled and said: "General, please rest assured that we have tested this hot air balloon many times, and it has also been carefully inspected before the battle. There is absolutely no problem."

Luo Yi nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved in his heart.However, in his view, once a person floats in the sky, there is no way out. Once an accident occurs, there will be no life.These people are very valuable talents of Tianhua, so no accidents should happen.

"Then let's start." Luo Yi finally gave the order, "This time your task is to investigate the situation in the city. If you can find the location of the enemy's chief general, please report to us at any time."

"I obey the orders." The banner chief immediately replied solemnly.

After a while, three hot air balloons slowly lifted into the sky.The soldiers of the Tianhua Army stared at the sphere in the sky dumbfounded, and then let out deafening cheers.They didn't expect that Tianhua could already make people fly into the sky, so how could they fail to win this battle?In vain, the morale of the whole army soared to the peak.

"Look, what is floating in the sky opposite?"

"Where, where? Let me see, my God, what is that?"

"Look, it must be a fairy." . . .

At this time, Cao Jun in Longyang City looked at the hot air balloon floating in the distance in panic, and exclaimed tremblingly.

Gan Zongwang looked at the things in the sky with a gloomy expression, both startled and angry in his heart.Naturally, he would not believe in any gods and ghosts. What is certain is that the things floating in the sky must be the ghosts of the Tianhua Army.

But so what?Gan Zong looked at the round sphere in the sky with a look of weakness on his face.It's too high, and I can't stop them from approaching at all.Although I don't know what effect those things have, it must not be a good thing.

But now the morale of the army must not be disturbed. Gan Zongwang immediately ordered people to publicize that this weapon was developed by the Tianhua Army, and it is not a weird thing. Anyone who dares to spread rumors to disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy.

After these measures, the chaotic military spirit was stopped.

Soon, the hot air balloon floated over Longyang City, and everyone looked up at them in horror, not knowing what would happen next.

Gan Zongwang suddenly understood that they were investigating the defenses in the city aboveboard.Can't help being angry and anxious, and immediately ordered someone to erect the bed crossbow and launch it towards the sky.It's a pity that the hot air balloon was floating in the sky at a height of 400 meters. After the bed crossbow shot out the arrows, it only flew less than 200 meters before falling down.

At this moment, one of the hot air balloons floated slowly towards Gan Zongwang's location.The flag leader immediately lit a firework bomb to send a signal to Luo Yi in the distance.

Luo Yi put down the binoculars, suppressed the joy in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Quickly, order all the artillery on the east front of the city to turn their muzzles and fire intensively at the second wall in the east of the city."

The messenger immediately ran to the position on horseback and gave Luo Yi's order.

After a while, I saw a thick smoke rising from the front position, followed by a fierce roar.Hundreds of shells roared and smashed towards the top of the city.

Gan Zongwang was wondering what the hot air balloon above his head was doing.Suddenly there was a loud noise all around, and before he had time to react, he was hugged by the guards beside him and threw himself to the ground.

"Boom boom boom~" At this time, the second section of the wall in the east of the city was directly baptized by hundreds of shells. The ground was in a mess and there were heavy casualties.

"That's where the general stood just now. The general is gone."

"The general is dead, what should we do?" The surrounding soldiers were in chaos, and the wall in the east of the city was in a mess.

At this time, Gan Zongwang pushed away the seriously injured guard, a trace of regret flashed across his face.Then he got up immediately and shouted loudly: "This general is here, whoever dares to spread rumors and cause chaos, beheaded!"

Looking at the bloody general, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.Gan Zongwang didn't dare to stay here, and immediately led his guards to leave the place.He now understands that the things in the sky are not only for investigation, but also for finding the position of the chief general, so that there will be no leader.

As Gan Zongwang left, the hot air balloon above his head also floated in the direction he left.When everyone saw this, they couldn't help being shocked, and they all avoided, fearing that if they got close to the general, they would provoke thunder and shelling.

Gan Zongwang was in a panic right now, no matter where he went, the hot air balloon would follow him.All the soldiers also avoided him like they were avoiding the god of plague. This kind of feeling, let alone how useless it is.

"General, your armor is too conspicuous. They must have judged your position based on this." At this moment, a personal guard had an idea and said immediately.

Only then did Gan Zongwang suddenly realize that as he walked, he quickly took off his dazzling armor and quickly changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers.Then sneak into the crowd to avoid detection by hot air balloons.

Sure enough, this golden cicada's plan to escape the shell immediately made the hot air balloon no longer find anyone, so it had to join the other two hot air balloons and float slowly towards their own barracks.

After returning to the barracks, the banner chief handed over the drawn city defense map to Luo Yi.Luo Yi then summoned all the generals to discuss the plan to break the city.

"Everyone, after the investigation of the Tianbing Battalion today, a detailed defense map of the city has been drawn." Luo Yi pointed to the enlarged defense map behind him, and said in a concentrated voice, "At this time, Longyang City has more than 400 artillery pieces. , is not much different from ours, and there are also city defense weapons such as giant crossbows, catapults, and swarms of bees, which are scattered everywhere. It can be said that if we take a strong attack, the casualties will be great. If we use artillery, we can only destroy a small part of them The defense of the city cannot completely clear the defense of the city. More importantly, our ammunition is limited, and it is impossible to launch endless shelling."

"General, why don't we concentrate the artillery on one city wall and use intensive shelling to clear the city's defenses and enemy troops, and then our army will take advantage of this gap and immediately launch a violent attack on the city to expand slowly by hitting the surface." At this time , an infantry division commander stood up and said.

Hearing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but nodded slightly, "This strategy is quite feasible, but the opponent is not a vegetarian. Even if our army occupies a small section of the wall, how can we persist in the face of surging enemy reinforcements? go down?"

"This?" The infantry commander was slightly taken aback, and could not help but sit down Hao Ran.

"General, it's not impossible that Commander Lu's method is feasible." At this time, another division commander stood up and said, "Don't we have the hot air balloons from the Heavenly Barracks to help us? support, but the hot air balloons in the sky can throw explosives to stop some of the enemy troops coming to support and reduce the pressure on our army.”

Hearing this, Luo Yi didn't answer, but looked at the banner commander of the Tianbing Battalion.
