Chapter 597: Emperor Yongchang Waiting to Die (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
In fact, there is no such thing as the five elements of reincarnation in this world. It's all just a matter of deceiving yourself and giving yourself a reason.
But often in the face of failure, they are willing to believe. At least they believe that they failed not because of their own ability, but because of their own providence.
And after they believe all this, they will even take the initiative to find reasons and excuses to consolidate their own thoughts.
Of course, all this is just an excuse, but even so, they are still willing to believe it. And even all of them will become an excuse for them.
Again, when the hot air balloon with the dragon painted on it flew over Shunjun, it was different from the panic when I first saw it, but now I have seen it more, and I am not as scared as before, after all, this thing is floating in the sky, and it will not cause much harm to the people on the ground.
Of course, more accurate artillery bombardment is completely out of the consideration of the Shun army, and in the eyes of the people on the ground, there is no connection between them at all!
So, when the hot air balloon is floating in the air, few people will stare at it as they used to, at most they just look up a few times in a while, and other than that...... It's really not a big deal.
It's just a ball!
Li Zicheng looked at the "big ball" in the air, and there was nothing unusual in his heart, at most, he felt that it was a little annoying. While he was looking at the ball in distraught, the balloon soldier on the balloon was also looking at the ground.
"Captain, do you want to try?"
"Then try?"
Sun Lin said, his eyes fixed on the few cannonballs tied with ropes on the side of the basket - the tail shells used in the nine-catty mortar cannon.
These days, I have flown over Baoding City again and again, but what is the meaning of always flying like this? Do you want to shoot two shots? Or throw two grenades?
Because the power of the grenade is too small, Sun Lin finally chose this kind of shell, which weighs nearly thirty pounds, and the power is very considerable, definitely more powerful than the grenade.
And this time, in order to test the effect of throwing bombs, he specially brought four shells, but now the bombs are not fake, the question is where to drop?
"Or throw it in the city!"
In fact, whether it can be thrown into the city or not, Sun Lin has no spectrum in his heart, and even when he drops a bomb, he just takes a knife to cut the rope tied to the tail of the cannonball, and then ...... It's up to fate.
The moment the rope was cut, the nearly thirty-pound cannonball disappeared in an instant, and fell straight to the ground, when Sun Lin cut another rope, he vaguely saw a cloud of smoke rising from the ground, and the bomb fell outside the city, but even so, Li Gui still shouted excitedly.
"Captain, captain, you see it's blown up, it's blown up......"
"Yes, yes, throw another one, Li Gui, you throw one too, let's do it together!"
Another bomb was dropped, and the moment it fell, they had no idea where it would go.
No aiming, no targeting, just dropping two bombs at random.
And for the people on the ground, they also did not notice the existence of bombs, when they fell, they did not make a whistling sound like a cannonball, but just fell silently, exploding the moment they touched the ground.
At the same time that a shell touched the ground and exploded, exploding a cloud of smoke, another bomb fell more than 100 meters away, and at the moment of the explosion, another loud bang suddenly exploded, and a huge column of smoke rushed straight into the sky during the violent explosion, and even Sun Lin and Li Gui, who were on the balloon, felt the impact from the ground.
"This, what's going on......"
When they looked back at the ground, they only saw that half of Baoding City was covered by gunsmoke, and only saw a huge mushroom cloud rising from the ground.
The people in heaven could not see what was happening on the earth, and the people on earth could not see clearly, everything happened so suddenly, and in an instant day turned into night, and the sky and the earth were all dark, dust and smoke rose up, fires flew, and thousands of houses collapsed in the sky.
In the violent explosion, Li Zicheng, who was in the palace, only felt as if he was in a small boat, and was suddenly knocked to the ground.
"Escort, escort...... Yes! ”
Just when Li Zicheng was stunned and was pulled up by the guards for some reason, and crawled towards the flower pond on the side, a flying stone falling from the sky suddenly killed the guard who was pulling him......
Although the guards who came in a hurry protected Li Zicheng with their bodies, he stared at the guard whose head was smashed and didn't say anything for a long time.
What's going on?
Now, Li Zicheng has no time to think about this problem anymore, his eyes are just staring at the dead corpses on the ground, if he takes a step slower, it is estimated that he will die!
This, this...... It's clearly coming for him!
Is it possible, what kind of fire god is that guy?
Could it be that this is "five thunders in the sky"?
Listening to the faint sound of "thunder" in the dark, Li Zicheng's heart was pinched into a small group, even if he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he was really stunned by this mutation.
Although the choking smell of gunpowder told him that it was most likely an explosion in the powder magazine, he could clearly see what had fallen from the sky before.
There seemed to be a flash of white light, and then a fire flared up.
Thinking of the previous scene, staring at the corpse of the guard, Li Zicheng only felt a chill, even if he was experienced in a hundred battles, I don't know how many times he had drilled through the pile of dead people, this time he was really scared!
Fear!
A fear that he had never felt before spread in his heart, and Li Zicheng even felt that the light was coming at him, even with the flying stone that smashed the guard's head to the ground, it was also ...... Flying towards his head.
That kid clearly wants his life!
Even at this moment, Li Zicheng thought a lot, he thought of the legend about that kid, thought of him once led the heavenly fire to extinguish the Dongyu, and thought that he had led the heavenly thunder to kill Zhang Xianzhong.
All of these things are reminding him of the fact that that kid may really have magical powers!
If so, then ...... Man will certainly not be able to overcome the sky. If all this is really providential. In any case, this battle will definitely not be won.
It's not that you can't win this battle. What to do?
Do you want to sit back and wait here?
For a while, all kinds of thoughts appeared in Li Zicheng's heart, but all the thoughts finally converged into one sentence...... Don't sit still!
