It's not that they can't get a hot air balloon.

They really belong to Duan Qilin's people, and Duan Qilin has the technology of hot air balloons. They wanted this kind of technique, and Duan Qilin would definitely not refuse to give it.

It's just that they can't possibly want to.

Pang Hongguang and these people belong to Western Xia on the surface. The territory of Lizhou, Fengxiang and other roads ruled by them must have Li Xiushu's eyes.

Li Xiushu's hot air balloon is only available to the Qi Tianjun and the Forbidden Army, if it is found that they also have hot air balloons, how should they explain it?

At that time, their identities as New Song Dynasty detectives will be exposed.

Therefore, since they surrendered to Western Xia, Pang Hongguang and others have been honest and have not greatly expanded the strength of the defenders under their command.

Pang Hongguang, Jia Fenghua, and Feng Xiang and Lintao are under the command of the two Jiedu envoys, and there is no hot air balloon army in their territory.

Listening to the sound of shouting and killing behind him, the Lintao Lord General only felt that the chill in his heart was constantly intensifying.

Right now, his odds are slim. Just waiting for the Qi Tianjun to rise into the air, his Lintao army will inevitably fall into a place of no return.

Unless......

After the main general of Lintao rushed to the outside of the camp gate, he did not continue to rush inside, but just hid himself in the army, and at this moment, he suddenly looked at the general of the guard next to him.

He said: "You immediately lead the army to break through and go to Tongchuan Mansion to report the news." Ask Tongchuan Mansion to send troops to help us! I'm going to be here for a while, maybe I'll be able to hold out for a while! ”

After all, he still has more than 20,000 soldiers, plus more than 20,000 military horses on Fengxiang Road. If they were properly commanded, it would not be easy for Helian Cheng, Qu Rujian, and Li Zhengqin to eliminate them in a short period of time.

"Yes!"

The general of the personal guard also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately received the order, and led his subordinates to turn back.

The fighting continues.

The Lintao army continued to attack the barracks.

Qu Rujian's forbidden army was firmly blocked at the gate of the camp and the fences on both sides.

The fighting between the two armies gradually became hearty.

It took about ten minutes, a few miles on the west side of the camp. Lord Feng Xiang led his subordinates to rush to the outside of the forbidden army camp under Helian City.

They also launched a direct attack on the camp.

There are countless torches in the army.

There were archers who were still more than 100 meters away from the camp and shot arrows into the camp.

At the same time, there were countless fires in the camp. Many gun-throwing carts appeared in the firelight.

Helian City also met the enemy with an artillery array.

The sound of artillery resounded throughout the Western Xia military region.

I am afraid that this can alarm the Great Song Forbidden Army of Zheng Yihang and Du Hu, who are not far from here.

Fengxiang's army was blocked by heavy artillery fire in the barracks.

They were also blown up a little dazed by the continuous artillery fire.

Lord Feng Xiang also realized that something was wrong at this moment. At this moment, it can no longer be said that the arrows are on the string, but the arrows have been sent out.

There was no way back for him.

Now that the troops are withdrawn, the Western Xia forbidden army in the barracks will inevitably take advantage of the situation to pursue. When the time comes, he will only be defeated faster.

So, he could only raise his gun and shout: "Kill! Kill! ”

And such a shout really couldn't be transmitted far in the bursts of artillery fire.

The situation in which the Fengxiang army's offensive was blocked is difficult to change.

At this time, a few miles to the east, countless hot air balloons slowly rose into the sky. I'm afraid there must be nearly 2,000 of them.

The Qi Tian Army under Qu Rujian's command should be dispatched by the whole army.

Li Zhengqin slaughtered Xiang Lintao's army, giving them enough time and leeway to lift the hot air balloon into the air.

There are so many hot air balloons, just like the stars in the night sky. In an instant, I don't know how many people's attention it attracted.

Feng Xiang and Lintao are afraid that they are all chilling in their hearts.

Even if they haven't seen a hot air balloon, they must know that a hot air balloon is powerful. Throughout the war of nations, hot air balloons are an indispensable weapon.

This has long made the hot air balloon famous all over the world.

In Helian City's military camp, Helian City couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the hot air balloon slowly rising into the air.

They have a chance to win.

He shouted, "Soldiers! Our hot air balloon has lifted off! Victory is imminent, keep these rebels out of Ben General! ”

A neat response sounded in the army.

The screams, the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the sound of swords clashing, the sound of cannonballs, the sound continued.

The soldiers on both sides may not know what happened, and why Feng Xiang and Lintao suddenly turned against each other. All they can do is fight with their generals.

This is their conduct as soldiers.

Time passed slowly.

This night, the banks of the Jialing River are destined to be rivers of blood.

If Fengxiang and Lintao's army wins, they will never give those people in Helian City a way to live.

And the victory of the Western Xia forbidden army of Helian City and Qu Rujian will inevitably annihilate the two armies of Fengxiang and Lintao.

Only in this way can Western Xia be stable.

After the Qi Tian Army was completely lifted into the air, it did not bomb the Lintao Army. Instead, it swept through the sky and headed straight for the military camp in Helian City.

But this did not make the face of the Lord of Lintao change the slightest better.

Of course, he knew what Qi Tianjun's purpose was when he went to the military camp in Helian City.

Here, his army had already been suppressed by the forbidden army and Li Zhengqin's Lizhou Western Route Army, and there was no need to let the Qi Tianjun take action at all.

On the side of Helian City, the Hefeng Xiang Army can only be said to be evenly matched. Qi Tianjun rushed over, this is to lay the victory.

But what can he do?

On the ground, he could only watch as the hot air balloon flew towards the military camp in Helian City.

All the hopes were pinned on the hands of the guards who went to Tongchuan Mansion for help.

A little more west.

Zheng Yihang and Du Hu in the barracks.

Zheng Yihang hurriedly went to Du Hu's handsome tent and found Du Hu.

As soon as they met, they said with a smile: "Commander Du, it seems that there is a fight over there." ”

"Huh."

Du Hu also chuckled, "I think it's because those rebels in Western Xia can't hold it back." Listening to the sound of this cannon, Helian City should have a great upper hand. ”

Although the cannon fire was intensive, there was still a rule. This can't be the artillery army of Fengxiang, Lintao and other roads.

Because the army is on the way to attack, the artillery carts usually have some scruples. Moreover, it is inconvenient to rush to the camp with a throwing cart.

Zheng Yihang said again: "Then are we also ready to prepare?" ”

Du Hu groaned slightly, and then nodded: "It's time too." If the Lizhou West Route Army receives the news, they will run away, and they will have to go to chase them when the time comes. ”

After that, I couldn't help but laugh.

Then Zheng Yihang left Du Hu's military camp and went to his own military camp.

Both of them woke up their soldiers overnight, hurriedly regrouped, and prepared to march to the Lizhou West Road military camp, which was camped about ten miles north of them.

This is nothing to the Great Song Dynasty soldiers.

In their usual training, it was not uncommon for them to be awakened by the generals at night. This is specifically designed to respond to emergencies.

The two barracks were in an instant full of commotion, and the soldiers were in a cloud of motion.

The soldiers of the Great Song Forbidden Army put on their armor as quickly as possible, and then hurried to the open space in the barracks to assemble.

There were no heavy firearms in the entire army. The heaviest ones are the grenadiers and the hot air balloons, and these two things are not particularly heavy.

The grenadier can be regarded as a single combat weapon, and the hot air balloon is more than enough to be carried by five soldiers.

Zheng Yihang and Du Hu stood on the high platform in front of the army in armor respectively.

They didn't say much, just shouted two words, "Go to the expedition!" ”

It was probably less than a quarter of an hour before and after, and the Great Song Forbidden Army in the two battalions left the camp and headed north side by side.

Food, grass and heavy equipment were left in the barracks.

The personal guard general of the main general of Lintao Road led his personal guards to rush out of the battlefield at this time.

The forbidden army under Qu Rujian did not come out of the camp, and no one stopped them at all.

Only whether they can successfully invite reinforcements in Tongchuan Mansion, and whether the reinforcements can arrive in time, is naturally still unknown.

The war in the entire Tongchuan Mansion and the Western Xia Frontier can still be said to be far from being known.

The Monkey Army, which was like a sword, had already launched a bombardment outside the military camp in Helian City.

This blew up the Fengxiang army, which failed to break the camp.

They rushed and could not rush in, and the main general was slow to give the order to retreat. Covered by nearly 2,000 hot air balloons, the situation can be imagined.

In just such a short period of time, the officers and men of the Fengxiang Army have suffered countless losses.

In this case, the morale of the army is sluggish.

Many soldiers did not care to carry out the military orders, and fled in all directions in order to survive.
