It was already the middle of the night when the nervous uncle and nephew of the Yan family came down from the balloon, and the 4 gangs were willing to wait for them here stupidly, and they had already gone back to the tent to rest, and the camp was quiet, only a team of soldiers in charge of patrolling were vigilantly shuttling between the tents.

"Go to sleep in my tent for the time being" Yan Zike and Yan Qi said, "I'll go find Zichen." "This is to discuss the siege plan with his brother all night.

"Okay," Yan Qi looked at the bloodshot hidden in his eyes, "Don't work too hard, it's not the same as before, you are no longer supported by yourself, your brother is back, Xiao Jiu has also grown up, and you know all my secrets, you can rest assured that you can rely on us." ”

Yan Zike laughed softly, raised his hand to caress the top of Yan Qi's head, but in the end this hand fell on her shoulder, "Yes," he said in a warm voice, "I can rest assured." ”

Seeing Yan Zike go to Yan Zichen's camp, Yan Qi turned around and walked towards Yan Zike's camp but saw Yuan Chang standing outside the tent door, I don't know how long I waited, I saw her come and waved at her, signaling to go in a farther direction.

The two of them walked to a clearing, and Yuan Chang turned around to look at Yan Qi, and asked her in a low voice, "Are you really okay?"

There were many meanings in these words, but Yan Qi knew that what he was most worried about was whether Tu Mi would hurt her.

"I'm fine," Yan Qi said, "what do you think can hurt me in this world?"

Yuan Chang stared at her face for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Just because you're strong doesn't mean you've not been hurt. ”

"That's a philosophical statement. "Yan Qidao.

"Less poor mouth. Yuan Chang's tight strings seemed to relax slightly, and he was silent for a long time, and then Fang said, "How did you break away from him?" This "he" of course refers to his master Tu Mi.

Taking advantage of his carelessness, he pointed at his acupoint with a slingshot. Yan Qi said a word, and then looked at him, "It won't be long before our army will launch an offensive, are you ready?" asked if he was ready to meet his master on the battlefield.

"I'm ready. Yuan Chang's answer was unexpectedly resolute and firm, "This result can no longer be changed, and I will not escape from life in the world, no one will never be hurt, no one will never be sad, but there is only one way in life, you can only accept it if you want to or not, Xiaopang, if you can hold it, I can also hold it." ”

"Responsible. Yan Qi boasted.

"It must be," Yuan Chang pursed his lips calmly, "Otherwise, how can I be worthy of you." ”

"Hey" Yan Qi's godless face, "The skin is getting thicker and thicker, what about the bear child who is shy and has red ears?"

"You!Yan Xiaopang" Yuan Chang was instantly broken, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry and stared at the little fat man in front of him who was not afraid of death, and she had already discovered this hateful face and stinky little fat!, and "Who is the bear child?!"

"It's me, it's me, it's me, it's me. Yan Qi hurriedly said.

"I'll beat you!" Yuan Chang couldn't laugh angrily, his arms were wide open and made a vicious gesture, and the big slap fell from the sky, but it was covered on her head from left to right, and she rubbed her chin, and directly gave Yan Qi a hairstyle to kill Matt.

Yan Qi: "0 4 Bu 4 憱呌悩shame and anger?"

Yuan Chang: "I'm annoyed! Yan Xiaopang, if you talk more, you won't be able to leave tonight!"

It sounds so shameful to say this, Yan Qi immediately kept silent.

Glancing at Yan Qi, who was paralyzed in the explosion, Yuan Chang finally laughed angrily, reached out to help her pull two handfuls of hair, and diverted the topic: "How are you practicing your internal skills?"

"I don't know if it's because I've practiced internal skills, but I feel like I'm running faster than before. "Yan Qidao.

"Oh? Yuan Chang said.

"Good. ”

Yan Qi ran away without a trace.

Yuan Chang forked his waist in place: ""

The next day, Yan Qi went to Yan Zichen's big tent, but the tent was empty, thought about it, and went to the place where the balloon was placed, and sure enough, he saw the two brothers standing nearby and talking about something from a distance, Yan Qi only heard an end when he walked over, it was Yan Zichen who said: "It is estimated that it will take at least more than a month." ”

Yan Zike said: "It doesn't matter how long the time is, there is only one chance, so be sure to be prepared." ”

Yan Zichen called the subordinates standing next to him: "From today onwards, let those boys go up one by one to try at night, and let the donkeys strengthen my guard, so that there must be no leaks at this time!"

His subordinates answered loudly "yes".

Yan Qi didn't bother, seeing that it was still early and the east was not clear, she moved her muscles and bones to the open space in the camp where Yuan Chang took her last night, although she didn't bring arrows, but her fists and feet still had to be practiced.

When I arrived at the open space, I found that Wu Ting and Xiao Chen were actually there, the two of them had already practiced sweat and sweat on their clothes when they practiced sword and whip, Yan Qi found a place next to him, stretched his legs and stretched his tendons, and then put on a yoga lotus head handstand with his head upside down, and his legs were cross-kneeled in mid-air.

Wu Ting: ""

Xiao Chen: ""

"Yan Xiaoqi, are you possessed by twisted flowers?" Wu Ting stopped angrily and amusedly to look at the one who was serious about being a demon.

"Well, this action can stretch the ribs and back well, stretch the chest and pelvis, and promote blood circulation, do you want to try it, fifth brother?" Yan Qi's voice came from below.

Wu Ting looked at it, and walked over seriously, and next to Yan Qi, she also made a headstand to learn from her, and she felt okay, but her posture was a little weird.

"Do you want to try it?" Yan Qi asked.

Xiao Chen hesitated, but still walked to the other side of her, and also took a pose in the same way.

Yuan Chang almost spewed out when he passed by the edge of the clearing with a team of patrolmen, and what kind of treasure did the little stinky fat man play seriously?! What kind of strange posture is this?

Yuan Chang hurriedly ran away with the team.

Yan Qi was about to practice his fists and feet, Wu Ting volunteered to be her sparring partner, and then was surprised to find that although this Yan Xiaoqi was far behind in strength, his shooting speed was amazingly fast, and his reaction was also extremely fast, and he could dodge his moves extremely agilely.

"With your current strength, I don't think it's a problem to clean up a martial artist who has no internal strength cultivation on a one-on-one basis. Wu Ting said.

"Great, in the future, I will beat Ke Wubitter with a bitter face. "Yan Qidao.

“”

The three of them practiced until dawn before stopping, and Wu Ting and his party put their swords into the sheath and said, "Uncle Yan seems to have a plan to attack the city, Xiao Qi, do you know the content?"

"It's to use balloons to send people directly into Yuhua City. "Yan Qidao.

Wu Ting raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Qi in a little surprise: "Haven't we discussed this method a long time ago, is it difficult to remember?"

"The reason why it is difficult to achieve is that if the balloon flies too high, people cannot fall from the air to the ground, and if the balloon flies too low, it will be easily discovered by the rebels," Yan Qi said and gestured, And my uncle's method is that when the balloon departs from our military camp tent and flies over the gate of Yuhua City, it flies at a high altitude that is not easy for the rebels to detect, and when it reaches a place far away from the rebels in Yuhua City, the balloon lowers its altitude and slowly falls until our people can jump to the ground from above, and then give the rebels a fatal blow from the inside of Yuhua City. ”

"But how do you control the balloon to go and down? This is where the biggest problem with balloons comes in. Wu Ting stared at Yan Qi.

"It's very simple, replace a big balloon with countless small balloons, and then gradually reduce the number of small balloons, the fewer balloons, the more buoyancy people can slowly descend. "Yan Qidao.

Wu Ting listened to Yan Qi and Cui Xi talk about the principle of balloon lift-off, water tin and alum oil can generate another kind of "air", this air is lighter than ordinary air, and everyone understands the truth that light things float up, so the ball filled with "light air" wants to fly above the air, and the way not to let it fly high is of course to slowly reduce the "light air".

This method sounds really simple, why didn't you think of it?

"The difference between smart people and ordinary people is that although there is only a layer of window paper between them and the answer, ordinary people can't think of poking it, and smart people can think of it. Yan Qi spread his hands.

Wu Ting: "I don't want to pay attention to this broken child.

Of course, this is just an idea, and whether it can be successfully implemented will have to be tested hundreds of times to know. "Yan Qidao.

Explosive hydrogen balloons are more dangerous than hot air balloons, but hot air balloons need to burn, and the target will be exposed when flying above, and only with a large hydrogen balloon, the airborne troops must have the determination to die, Yan Zike's method minimizes the danger of explosion as much as possible, using countless small balloons to carry people, dispersing the probability of explosion, it is impossible for all small balloons to explode at the same time, right?

This idea was immediately put into practice by Yan Zike's brothers, and a large number of people were sent out early in the morning to nearby towns to search for craftsmen and materials for the preparation of hydrogen, and they also made people rush back to Kyoto to find Cui Xuan for the sap of rubber trees, and in the camp, Yan Zichen picked out a hundred elite soldiers, these 100 people are the death squad that will go to complete this difficult and dangerous task, but this is not the final lineup, it is necessary to go up to the sky in balloons one by one from tonight, and people with fear of heights can't ask for it.

Yuan Chang, Wu Ting and Xiao Chen strongly asked to join the death squad, Yuan Chang needless to say, is now Yan Zichen's soldiers, and the reason given by Wu Ting on behalf of himself and Xiao Chen is: Our force value is higher than these soldiers, and we have internal strength and light skills, even if a hundred people successfully enter Yuhua City, it is impossible to immediately fight the rebels head-on, so they have to think of sneaking into the rebel camp to cause sabotage, and those who can do light work at this time are always better to act.

Yan Zichen himself was also enthusiastic when he was young, so he did not dampen the enthusiasm of young people, and only said to these two people: You write to your parents first, and if the family agrees, I will allow you to serve the country.

Wu Ting's letter was written to the old lady at home, and the old lady replied with one sentence: Kill Tu Huazhang raised by the son of a bitch for Lao Tzu!

Of course, Xiao Chen's letter was written to Xiao Tianhang, although he was a step, he was also the only son of the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao may not be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter in her life, if he has three long and two short, Xiao Tianhang is afraid that he will be the last one, but Xiao Tianhang's reply is simpler and simpler: just go.

It's not so easy to get to Yuan Chang, "Boy, is it okay?" Yan Zi stared at him, "If you meet Tu Mi when you enter the city, what are you going to do?"

Will they be soft-hearted, will they rebel, or will they kill their relatives in righteousness?

"Don't underestimate people. Yuan Chang raised his head in a calm voice and looked at Yan Zichen's scrutinizing gaze, "I can tell the difference!"

"Huh. Yan Zichen sent out a swallow Ke style smile and didn't smile.

"There are two more people to bring. The original creator of the laughing voice interjected a sentence next to him, "I'm on my way here from Kyoto, so I'll leave two places." ”

"Is there anyone who goes through the back door and inserts his cronies in it?"

After the personnel are determined, the next time is to be familiar with the feeling of heaven and other materials and manpower, in order not to make the rebels suspicious, Yan Zichen took the soldiers to the front line to harass every once in a while, the rebels knew that the Yan army was a straw man, and it was no wonder that they only used a stone thrower to smash it, anyway, there were many stones in the city, and they could not remove the stones of the house to use.

As the craftsmen were brought into the camp one after another, Cui Xi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, also began to get busy, first found a few experienced and outstanding old craftsmen, and told them the principle of balloon making and hydrogen generation methods, and then let these craftsmen be responsible for teaching other craftsmen, Cui Xi was also more relaxed, when all the craftsmen learned, they had to let them practice their hands first, because hydrogen was explosive, Cui Xi had to stare at these people to make, Yan Qi, Yan Jiu Young Master, Wu Ting and Xiao Chen were both arrested, and they helped him supervise these people together, so as not to cause a big disaster.

After all the craftsmen got started, the strong men were liberated, Yuan Chang, Wu Ting and Xiao Chenwai with a few backbones of the airborne dead soldiers got together to discuss the tactics after entering the city, Yan Zichen occasionally made a leg, but Yan Zike formed another gang with Young Master Yan Jiu and Cui Xi, and made more detailed adjustments to the balloon tactics with excellence.

Yan Qi didn't go with everyone, only one person took a set of swallow flying bows and went to the open space, and practiced with one arrow. From morning to night, in addition to three meals a day and sleeping at night, the daily schedule is to practice archery, there are boring soldiers who are idle and have no tasks to do, once hid not far away and spent a day counting the number of arrows that Yan Qi shot throughout the day, and then ran back to the camp with his jaw dropped, and told his fellow brothers that the eldest lady could shoot 10,000 arrows a day!

"What's that, give me a day to spare, and I can shoot 10,000 arrows!" said the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion disapplausively.

The one holding his chin swallowed what he wanted to say, only said "hey" and turned around and went out, and came back after a while, holding an arrow target in his hand, handed it to Fang Cai and said, "This is the target for the eldest lady to practice archery, you open your dog eyes and see, do you see what's coming?"

A group of people came over to look at the target together, and saw that there were dense arrow holes on it, shooting everywhere, even the outermost ring, and the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion couldn't help but pout: "That's it? Not to blow with you, out of 10,000 arrows I shoot, there can be 9,000 arrows all shot in the nine rings!"

"Have you looked closely?" the soldier pointed to the arrow holes on the target, "all the arrow holes are on the target ring, and the distance between each arrow hole is the same, and more importantly, there are a total of one hundred arrow holes in these arrow holes, and the eldest lady shoots a hundred arrows per round, and after shooting a hundred arrows, she will go to the target to pull the arrow off and then move on to the next round, do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other, and thought for a moment! 10,000 arrows only left a hundred arrow holes, doesn't it mean that her 100 arrows in each round can shoot at the same 100 positions? Not to mention that the distance between these 100 arrow holes is still equal, what a powerful control over arrows must be!

The next day, this group of people ran together to observe Yan Qi's archery not far from the clearing, and let others see it, came over and asked what the situation was, and then on the third day, a group of people came to watch Yan Qi's archery, and on the fourth day, there were more people, and on the fifth day and the sixth day

Yan Qi: ""

Finally, one day he was discovered by Yan Zichen passing by, and he went up and kicked the little bastards who peeked at his daughter.

The manpower and materials urgently transferred from Kyoto arrived at the camp on this day, and a group of craftsmen who had already done the on-the-job training in advance were immediately busy under the leadership of Wu Ting, and Cui Xi was too lazy to command this group, so this matter was all handed over to Wu Ting.

After receiving the materials, arranging the assembly line, and dividing the group, the craftsmen immediately threw themselves into the intense work of preparing the balloons, and when the first batch of small balloons was made, Yuan Chang volunteered to be the first tactical test subject.

"You can figure it out," Yan Zichen looked at him, "Riding a balloon to the sky is no better than anything else, if something happens and falls, no one can save you!"

"Young mother-in-law, I'm ready, hurry up and start. Yuan Chang said.

"Stinky boy!" Yan Zichen waved his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, making people start preparing for the experiment.

The test site was twenty miles west of the camp, because it was afraid that if the balloon exploded, the sound would alarm the rebels in Yuhua City.

The balloons that were filled with hydrogen gas were tied with ropes, and Wu Ting took a few people to start tying balloons to Yuan Chang's body one by one, each balloon was about two meters in diameter, and an explosion could seriously injure people, so everyone was very careful in their movements, and the ropes of the balloons were also staggered between long and short lengths, so as not to cause explosions due to friction between each other.

Cui Xi had already done experiments with wood before, tying wood equivalent to the weight of the human body to balloons, how many balloons could fly high in the air with wood, and now according to this amount, Yuan Chang had to be tied to the stake first, so as not to float up with the balloon on him, but he still had an extremely long rope wrapped around his waist, and the other end was in the hands of several soldiers, in order to control him from being blown too far by the wind.

When a certain amount of balloons were tied, Wu Ting stepped forward to untie the rope used to fix Yuan Chang's body, only to see him rise from the ground all of a sudden, and go up diagonally, in order to ensure safety, this time the test was carried out during the day, and a sunny day was also selected, there was no wind, and the angle of the balloon tilt was not too big, seeing that Yuan Chang had already flown extremely high, Yan Zichen went over and pulled the rope that was tied to his waist and connected to the ground, this is a code, which means that he can try to come down.

Yuan Chang had a knife in his hand that Cui Xi gave him to cut the rope of the balloon tied to his body, cut a rope, and let go of a balloon, the buoyancy was smaller, and everyone stared at him nervously, for fear that there would be some unpredictable mistakes in the process.

Just in front of everyone's eyes, Yuan Chang's figure was slowly declining, this process lasted for more than half an hour, but everyone who had been looking up had forgotten the neck soreness, when Yuan Chang's feet landed, they all waved their fists and roared successfully!

However, just one test is not enough, and everyone spent more than ten days of countless experiments in various different environments during the day, at night, with wind, without wind, with high visibility, and low visibility, and the success rate was 90 percent, finally proving the feasibility of this airborne meter! The altitude and other data are calculated to the highest level of accuracy, until everything is ready as a programmed one.
