"Kong Ming lantern?"

Geng Jimao's eyes narrowed, like a beast about to pounce on at night.

Of course he knew about Kong Ming lanterns, but Kong Ming lanterns' practices had long been lost, how did Ming Jun know?

Of course, none of that matters at the moment, because they have to think about how to get through this trouble first.

"Hong Jingluo, how to deal with this hot air balloon?"

"Actually, it's very simple, just shoot it down. Paper kites will float away without a thread, and hot air balloons will fall if they break holes. ”

Hong Chengchou gradually regained his composure and explained quietly on the side.

"What does Hong Jingluo mean to shoot down this hot air balloon?"

"Naturally. Even a bird can be shot down, let alone a hot air balloon? ”

Geng Jimao also felt that there was some truth, so he asked: "Is that shooting with a bow and arrow or with a firecracker?" ”

"It doesn't really matter, but the firebolt seems to be able to shoot farther."

Geng Jimao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, order the fire gun to shoot this hot air balloon at this king, this king wants to see how long the thief can be strong?" ”

Shang Jiajun's execution was still very strong, and soon the firecracker was transferred to a position closer to the hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon can be seen faintly from this angle, but it is not very clear.

"Shoot!"

As soon as the commander gave the order, the firecrackers fired a volley.

The lead bullet burst out of the air, and the momentum was very terrifying.

It's just that many of them have already lost most of their strength before they have flown to the hot air balloon.

Some lucky ones will pass the hot air balloon, but the force is not much different from a gentle stroke.

This is, of course, due to the fact that the soldiers of the Tiger Army deliberately adjusted the height of the hot air balloon so that it floated at a perfect height.

At this height, it is difficult to hit ordinary crossbow arrows and firebolts, and even if they do, they will not cause much damage to the hot air balloon.

And the Ming army still deliberately saw the Qing army underground, although these Qing troops were as small as ants.

The Qing army's shooting was like scratching the itch of the boots, which only aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Tiger Army.

They threw down the grenades they had prepared in the hot air balloon.

The effect of this high-altitude bombing was very good, and the Qing army often died in one piece.

The gunners, of course, were no exception.

Compared with ordinary Qing soldiers, these gunners are more target-like existences.

And they are with artillery, the target is more obvious.

Although the flight speed of the hot air balloon is not fast, the soldiers of the Tiger Army are not in a hurry, they have time to play with the Qing army, and they will not leave unless they blow up the grenades they brought.

"Let's have a good drink!"

The grenade exploded and the bomb was not enjoyable, so the Tiger Ben soldiers threw the homemade fuel bomb downward.

It's not as explosive as a grenade, but it burns quickly.

Sure enough, the earth-fired bomb quickly burned after falling in the Qing army's array, and it didn't take long for it to spread into a sea of fire.

"A thief who kills a thousand knives!"

Geng Jimao was really frightened now.

Isn't it scary to rain fire from overhead?

The most hateful thing is that their firearms and crossbow arrows can't hurt the hot air balloon at all.

What Hong Chengchou said is a fart!

Only others beat themselves, and they can't beat others.

It's too damn aggrieved.

Geng Jimao only felt that a mouthful of old phlegm was blocked in his throat, and he almost held his breath.

The Qing positions quickly became chaotic at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is also a matter of no choice, after all, no one wants to be roasted into a suckling pig raw.

The Qing soldiers instinctively scurried around, not only did no one care to shoot the hot air balloon, but even the gunners ran away. Daxia Chinese Network

The artillery defense line that Hong Chengchou had built with great difficulty was broken through in this way.

"This dog thief, dare you go a little lower!"

Geng Jimao hated the roots of his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

Of course, the Ming army would not let him get his wish, and that height card was just right.

The Qing army's position quickly spread from a few sporadic fire points into a sea of fire.

The disadvantages of this large-scale joint venture are also vividly reflected at this moment.

Instead of becoming a cover for the Qing soldiers, the trenches that ran through the trenches allowed the flames to spread rapidly through the tunnels.

After all, the earth fire oil bombs thrown by the Ming army were filled with fire oil, and they would burn quickly after encountering gunpowder.

There was even a large-scale ignition of gunpowder in the Qing army's formation.

This is undoubtedly to add insult to injury, and Hong Chengchou's old face has darkened.

Zhang Chaoxuan on the side gradually felt that the situation was a little out of control.

If this momentum continues, it will not be long before the Ming army can recapture those positions and even advance further.

Geng Jimao now regrets it very much in his heart.

Why did he believe Hong Chengchou's nonsense and want to stay?

Is it just to compare Shang Kexi? What's the point?

It's good now, I'm completely trapped here, and it's hard to break through!

Just when Geng Jimao was extremely frustrated, the sky suddenly became cloudy, followed by thunder.

Hong Chengchou finally showed a smile on his face.

"Haha, the sky will not die, I am clear. We're saved, King Jingnan! ”

Geng Jimao or the second monk was puzzled, and wondered: "What do you mean?" ”

"King Jingnan has ever heard of Kong Ming lanterns flying on rainy days? Kong Ming lanterns are not good, and this hot air balloon is naturally not good. ”

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said, "There is no endless road to heaven." If the old man's prediction is right, it is impossible for this hot air balloon to fly again. If it rains heavily, it can put out the fire. ”

Geng Jimao was suspicious: "Is this really the case? ”

"King Jingnan will take a look."

...

...

The wind was gusting and the thunder was loud.

Although they were very reluctant, the soldiers of the Tiger Army had to land the hot air balloon as soon as possible.

If you float in the air again, the hot air balloon will probably be split and fall.

Finally managed to control the hot air balloon and land safely, they found that the landing site was much more remote than they expected, hundreds of steps.

Fortunately, this is still close to the side of the Ming army. If they fell close to the Qing army's camp, they would really want to cry without tears.

Due to the sudden rains, not all the grenades they brought with them were thrown, but there were not too many left.

Each of them took some of the difficult trek to the Ming army camp in the torrential rain.

As for the hot air balloon, you can call people to drag it for a while.

In short, neither hot air balloons nor grenades could fall into the hands of the Qing army.

Although the Tartars now know about the existence of hot air balloons and grenades, they don't know why.

It was because they knew what the Ming army was going to do, but they couldn't prevent it.

If it weren't for this sudden rainstorm, the Ming army could even take advantage of this momentum to directly push over.

Now think about it, if the Qing army hadn't stolen the technology of the red-coated cannon, even if they entered the customs, it would be impossible to destroy the Ming Dynasty and drive it all the way to the point of exhaustion, right?

Now that there is finally a chance to turn the tables, the Ming army naturally cherishes it doubly.

Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, and the Ming army will never fall twice in the same place.
