Another early morning came, and before the sun was about to rise, Hao Laosan stood above Wulongling Pass and looked forward, judging when the Song Army would launch a new round of offensive, with a look on his face. Deep sadness and tension.
After several days of attack and defense, although the Wu army, which had an absolute geographical advantage, almost completely won with minimal losses, the pressure on them as soldiers was still great. Every time a sharp arrow came up, he felt his legs trembling, because this was a terrible encounter that he had never experienced before. After all, just a few months ago, he was just a soldier guarding the gate of Muzhou City. I have never seen such a battle before.
But today's Song Army camp looked much calmer than usual. The siege team had not formed up at this time. It seemed that there was no intention to launch a new round of offensive immediately. This made Hao Laosan unaware. He breathed a long sigh of relief. But just when he was halfway out of his breath, something that he couldn't believe and thought he was hallucinating happened again from the Song Camp in front. There was something slowly rising into the air over there.
"Then... what is that?" Hao Laosan muttered something uneasily, and Hao Laosan unconsciously stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, but when he took his hand away to look, he found that the rising thing was already higher. The outline is also clearer - they are not fireworks, but weird, huge spherical objects. There seems to be something rising from below, and they are still coming towards Guancheng little by little.
At this moment, not only Hao Laosan, but other guards on Guancheng and the generals also saw this strange scene. Countless people opened their mouths, but for a moment they didn’t know what to say. They all looked up and stared at The spherical objects flew here one after another. After a while, there was a burst of exclamation: "Song Jun, it was Song Jun who used some magic... Hurry, go and report to General Fang..."
Following these screams, some people were already stumbling down and running down. Some people actually stumbled and fell down on the stairs that were not too steep because they were distracted. The screams suddenly rang out. one slice. The whole city was in chaos in an instant.
For people of this era, the impact of something soaring into the sky and flying in the air is really too strong, especially when it rises from a hostile military camp, which puts great pressure on the soldiers. Bigger. And looking at these huge balls floating in the wind, and getting closer and closer, the soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs trembled, and even the hands holding the weapons were unsteady, not to mention thinking at this time. Shooting arrows at those things and not falling to their knees out of fear is enough to prove that these Wu soldiers are bold enough.
"Demon... demon method..." After hearing the news, he came out of his residence and looked up to see a large number of spheres approaching from the sky. Even Fang Baibai was panicked. But after taking a closer look, especially after discovering the vague figure standing in the huge bamboo basket under the ball, he suddenly felt a thrill in his heart and shouted loudly: "Set me an arrow! Yes!" Song Army, they are using magic to cross our Wulong Ridge from the sky! Quickly shoot them down with arrows!"
The general's roar had some effect. At that moment, some crossbowmen plucked up the courage to shoot arrows at the approaching ball ahead. But the distance between the two sides was too far at this time, and the range of their arrows was simply
It's out of reach, so there's no threat at all. As a result, the pressure on Wu Jun was even greater. Many people had simply lost their judgment of common sense at this time, thinking that this was because Song Jun had used magic, so their arrows had lost their effect, and even more He was so frightened that he lowered his crossbow and did not dare to move again.
The sparse arrows fell powerlessly in the distance, leaving the Song Army elites with weak legs and pale faces to stay in the huge bamboo baskets, but they felt more confident in their hearts. But until this moment, they still couldn't believe that they actually flew into the air, advancing through the air like the legendary gods, and would cross the high Wulong Ridge and launch a surprise attack on the enemy from the rear.
Although these people are all the elites of the Qingzhou army who have followed Sun Tu for the longest time, they are strong men who have fought hundreds of battles in the camp, but at this high place that has never been touched before, everyone is still afraid, and their eyes are even more complete. Not daring to look down, both parties clung to the edge of the bamboo basket. It seemed that this was the only way to gain an extra layer of protection.
Even the two heroes Wu Song and Lu Da who were among them were pale at this time. The height of several hundred feet above the ground had a great impact on them. Until now, they still can't imagine how Sun Tu could use such a weapon to rise into the air and carry thousands of brothers flying forward, flying over the high Wulong Ridge...
In fact, the answer is very simple, because Sun Tu found a good thing from the system warehouse that was most conducive to their successful attack on Wulong Ridge.
Just a few days ago, as Sun Tu almost unified Jiangnan and gained the unanimous approval of Jiangnan's military and civilians, his system warehouse finally opened up a large area again, and allowed him to enter it on a whim. He gained quite a bit.
This time he found a batch of high-quality hot air balloon accessories in the newly added warehouse.
Sun Tu originally thought that this thing was not as reliable as gunpowder, diesel or diving equipment, but after knowing that Wulong Ridge was extremely dangerous and difficult to overcome, he suddenly realized that this was God's greatest help to him.
If they really want to forcibly break through the pass, facing the dangerous Wulong Ridge pass that stretches for hundreds of miles, towers into the clouds, and has no shortcuts, the Song army can only make two choices, or continue to attack and fight its way out with human lives. Come; or climb up from the dangerous ridge on the side, and then attack together with the army in front, you may be able to break through.
But both require absolute courage and luck, and the price paid must be huge. But things were different now. With these hot air balloons that could fly from high altitudes, he could move his troops from above to the back of Wulongling Pass, and then attack from both front and back. This seemingly unbreakable dangerous pass would be It would be difficult to stop his march westward.
Therefore, when others thought that he was still holding back in Hangzhou to support the bandits, Sun Tu found craftsmen in the city and asked them to build simpler rides based on the batch of hot air balloons. After all, hot air balloons still have a disadvantage, that is, the load capacity is not too large, and each one can only hold five or six people. The number of hot air balloons required to drop a group of elites behind Wulong Ridge is quite large. .
The hot air balloon also has its own advantage, that is, its structure is much simpler than other flying objects in later generations. Even if you can't get the hair provided in the warehouse,
He had to turn on the ignition device, but with the ideas and dexterity of the craftsmen of this era, Sun Tu still temporarily built a large number of hot air balloons.
When the last batch of hot air balloons arrived along with the food and grass, Sun Tu immediately used it to pick out the elite trapped in the camp, and then cooperated with more than a dozen generals who were skilled in martial arts, and took off towards Wu. Go to Longling.
Originally, he planned to lead the team himself, but he was still persuaded by his generals. In the end, only Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Lu Da, Wu Song, Hua Rong... all the generals led the team to set off, and even Dong Ping was not dispatched. But even so, this time the Song Army sent out its strongest elite, and success or failure depended on this.
Hundreds of hot air balloons floated forward slowly like a large flock of birds, and soon appeared above Wulonglingguancheng. But at this time, the distance between the two sides was getting wider and wider, so even if the arrows rained down from below, it would be difficult to hurt the Song army above.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Song Army had gradually overcome their fear of heights and began to fight back. As they bent down and threw them, the balls roared and headed downwards in an arc like hailstones. When it fell, Wu Jun below was so frightened that he screamed and dodged.
While these balls were still in the air, they already made a loud explosion sound, and the iron nails and other objects filled inside were scattered along with the broken shells, towards Wu Jun below. In a short time, countless Wu Jun soldiers were shot by these small fragments, screamed and fell to the ground.
Although the lethality of the Polu bomb is not particularly large, the damage range caused by this volley explosion is still extremely terrifying. For Wu Jun, the greater threat comes from the fact that this thing falls from the sky, because in their eyes, the Song Jun who can control the air is the embodiment of demon magic, and now they throw this large palm Lei, this moment has destroyed Wu Jun's psychological defense.
Even Fang Baibai and other generals themselves were full of panic at this time. Many people could no longer think of ordering the entire army to respond to possible attacks from behind Guancheng. Everyone was running around like headless flies. Wulongling Guancheng was completely in chaos at this moment.
The inherent belief and fear in the theory of ghosts and gods, the endless pressure of being controlled by the enemy, and the damage caused by the bombs. The combination of these factors finally prevented today's battle from starting. , which caused Wu Jun to show a one-sided decline.
At this time, following Sun Tu's order, the horns of the Song army suddenly sounded, and all the soldiers and horses were pressing forward. Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, they tried their best to attack this rare place in the south. Gaoshan Xiongguan launched the most violent attack.
This time, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Sun Tu no longer sat quietly in charge of the central army as before, but took the lead and rushed to the front of the team. Holding the steel knife tightly in his hand, his body moved up and down like a cheetah, and he quickly reached the defenseless towering wall. With a wave of his left hand, the long rope was thrown up and climbed to the top of the city. , people also followed upwards.
At the same time, when he looked up again, he saw that the hot air balloons had begun to sink after crossing Wulong Ridge. It must not be long before the battle from the rear will begin!
