Chapter 69: At Dawn
Liangzhou is located on the plateau, and the dawn is relatively early.
When the morning star disappears into the eastern horizon, so does the morning sun.
The sun shone on the earth, and the weeds that were gradually yellowing were covered with dew, and they looked sparkling in the sunlight.
At this time, it was about five or six o'clock in the morning, and the Western Turks in the Liangye Valley were still sleeping in their tents, and only a few people who were on night patrol walked around the valley from time to time.
"Azana, you can watch it alone, I'll see if I can find something to eat first. After keeping watch all night, my stomach will be hungry. ”
The night patrol is carried out in a group of two tents, and if they find anything unusual, they will shout loudly, and naturally there will be people with gongs to ring the gongs to remind everyone to pay attention.
"Go, it's dawn, and in half an hour it'll be on duty. Eat something in advance, and you won't have to grab it with anyone else when the time comes. Don't forget to help me get some. ”
Azana yawned and coped casually.
Suddenly, Azana blinked vigorously, as if trying to confirm something.
I must have not slept well all night and hallucinated.
Azana thought as he raised his right hand to cover his brow and looked again at the place where the sun had risen.
What's there?
How do you feel like there's something floating in the sun?
"Lord Wang, let's stop at the mouth of the valley and let the other hot air balloons in."
In the morning sun, dozens of hot air balloons are scattered in the air, looking extraordinary.
Li Kuan wanted to see the effect of the first battle of the hot air balloon, and despite the persuasion of Xue Li and Wang Xuance, he personally boarded a hot air balloon.
A few days ago, after determining the hiding place of the Western Turks, Li Kuan immediately formulated a battle plan, and when everything was ready, he immediately took the guards and left Liangzhou City despite Niu Jinda's persuasion.
After stopping more than ten miles away from Liangye Valley, Zhu Fufu personally drove the hot air balloon to confirm that all the Western Turks had returned to Liangye Valley that night, and before dawn the next day, Li Kuan set off with all the hot air balloons, leaving the guards who could not ascend to heaven on the ground to answer at any time.
The main reason why you chose to attack at dawn is to take advantage of the rising sun to hide the hot air balloon in the sun.
If you are facing the sun, it is not easy to see the hot air balloon coming, which can bring more time to the sneak attack.
However, as the hot air balloon gradually approached the sky above the Western Turkic camp, it would eventually be seen.
It's just that this kind of object beyond the imagination of the Western Turks, even if it is seen, what can it be?
Azana felt like he was staring at where the sun was rising, and tears were about to come out.
"Don't look at the sun, your father didn't tell you, it's easy to look bad at the eyes."
At some point, the guy who was on patrol with Azana took a piece of mutton that had not been eaten last night, and walked towards him while chewing.
"Dekeli, do you see something flying over there?" Azana's right index finger pointed to the sky, motioning for Dekeli to take a look as well.
"Hey, what can fly in the sky, it's not a wild goose or an eagle, it's not like you haven't seen it, there's nothing to make a fuss about."
Acrylic didn't bother to raise his head, and bit his mutton intently, "Do you want a bite?" ”
"No, it's not a wild goose, it's not an eagle. This thing seems to be much bigger than these birds, but it's a bit like tents. ”
"You drank too much last night, how could the tent be floating in the sky." Deacrylic said with a look of disdain, but still looked up.
The hot air balloon battalion of the Chu Wangfu has slowly come to the sky above the Western Turkic station, and in order to improve the accuracy of bomb throwing, the hot air balloon is slowly descending in height.
It can't be too low, too low and it will be easy to get hurt by the bow and arrow, but not too high.
This measure was slowly grasped after many experiments in the hot air balloon camp.
"Huh? It's a little weird, what is that? "Deacrylic finally discovered the existence of the heater.
But none of them linked the hot air balloon in the air with Datang's attack.
"Azana, that ...... Someone seems to be there? As soon as Deacrylic's words came out, Azana was completely stunned.
To be honest, after looking at the sun for so long, Azana's eyesight really decreased a little briefly, and when he looked at the heater, he saw a blurred shadow, like a myopic eye.
But Deacrylic immediately found that there was someone on top of the hot air balloon!
Someone in the sky above themselves?
Dekeli and Azana looked at the sky blankly?
Could it be that there are really gods in this world?
Could it be that these people are stationed in Liangye Valley and have alarmed the immortals here?
Zhu Fufu did not let Azana and them be confused for too long, and the first air raid in human history officially began.
"Azana, the gods have sent us gifts, you see, the gods have sent us gifts."
When Deacrylic saw a black object thrown from the hot air balloon basket, he didn't think about dodging it at all, but exclaimed excitedly.
On the contrary, Azana quickly reacted, and the situation seemed to be a little wrong.
The gift given by the gods, if it hits you, will you still have a chance to appreciate the gift?
"Boom!"
Under the action of gravity, the incendiary bomb dropped at a height of 100 meters made intimate contact with the ground in an instant, and then made a loud noise.
"Ahh Fire, help me put out the fire! ”
An incendiary bomb landed next to Deacrylic, who was lucky not to be killed directly, but was transformed into a burning man.
Azana doesn't know if it's better or worse.
Because he was directly hit by an incendiary bomb, he didn't even have time to scream in surprise, and fell to the grass.
The dew-covered meadow did not stop the Molotov cocktail from igniting the fire, and Deacrylic yelled and rolled around on the grass, as if trying to extinguish the fire on his body.
But it turned out to be useless.
An incendiary bomb with white phosphorus and fire oil, where can you extinguish it with a roll, and he underestimates the power of the incendiary bomb, right?
Dozens of hot air balloons are not too much, not too little, scattered in the air, and can also directly radiate an area of nearly a few hundred meters.
Autumn is crisp, and the grass at this time is very afraid of fire, let alone specially made incendiary bombs.
With the first incendiary bomb thrown by Zhu Fufu, bombs were also dropped on other hot air balloons.
Such a big movement naturally quickly alarmed the Western Turks below.
More than 20,000 people are spread out in the valley, and as far as the eye can see, the whole valley is covered with snow-white tents.
"Enemy attack, there is enemy attack!"
