With the launch of the hot air balloon, Liu Xingming's mood became more and more excited.

The task he has to carry out this time is very important, and it is related to whether the Ming army can take Baling without blood.

Although he is very proficient in handling hot air balloons, he is inevitably still a little nervous.

The Son of Heaven has made it clear that he will destroy the Dongyu granary in one fell swoop.

The grain and grass brought by the Ming army was enough to consume for a while. The extra grain and grass cannot be taken away, but it is better to destroy it.

In this way, the Eastern army will be disheartened, and it will be a matter of time before it is defeated.

Of course, Liu Xingming knew the powerful relationship between this, so he had the mentality of a success from the beginning.

On his last flight, he had already noted down the exact location of the granary, and this time he was heading straight for his destination.

"General, do you want to go any higher?"

"Well, ascend first, and then descend to a suitable height when you reach the sky above Baling."

The weather is now very sunny and there is no fog in the sky, which is perfect for a hot air balloon flight.

Liu Xingming's grasp in his heart increased a few points, and he silently said that success or failure was in one fell swoop.

...

...

"Your Majesty, the tunnels have been dug up, are you going to start bombing the city?"

In the face of Li Dingguo's inquiry, Zhu Youlang did not immediately reply.

He glanced up at the hot air balloon flying higher and higher, and after a moment said, "Wait for a while, wait until the granary is burned, and then do it." ”

The effect that Zhu Youlang wanted was to blossom both inside and outside, so that the blow to the morale of the Qing army would be fatal. Now is not the time.

I am very confident in Liu Xingming and Zhu Youlang. First, it was because Baling Qingjun had never seen a hot air balloon, and it was impossible for him to be aware of the impending danger.

Second, Liu Xingming has rich experience and confidence, and he can give full play to his advantages at this time.

He had agreed with Liu Xingming in advance that as long as there was smoke in the city, it would be the time for the Ming army to bomb the city.

Now Zhu Youlang is only looking forward to this moment coming soon.

...

...

People who hold a string for a long time will collapse.

Now the Qing army at the head of Baling City is in such a state.

The Ming army was on the periphery of the city and did not attack, and it was really uncomfortable for the two sides to confront each other like this.

Although he knew that the Ming army was digging tunnels, he would definitely not dig the tunnels in a short period of time.

That said, unsurprisingly, this state of affairs will continue for quite some time.

Zhou Peigong glanced at the soldiers at the head of the city and found that many of them were already sleepy and yawning frequently.

He couldn't help frowning, how could he continue to be on duty in this state.

In case the Ming army suddenly attacked, it would not be able to hold it at all.

"Wei Fuzun, should the defenders of the city change their guards?"

Facing Zhou Peigong's questioning, Wei Xiannian stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Zhou doesn't know, in fact, this batch of soldiers has just changed their guards. ”

"Since they have just changed their guards, why are they so sleepy?"

"It should have been the night of last night's pastime, so I didn't sleep."

Zhou Peigong was furious when he heard this.

"Pastime? The enemy still has the heart to entertain at the moment? Wei Fuzun doesn't care? ”

Zhou Peigong suddenly became furious, which frightened Wei Xiannian.

He thought to himself whether Mr. Zhou was making too much of a fuss, it was obviously just a private pastime for the soldiers, what was the big deal.

"It's really hard for this official to interfere. Besides, it's human nature. ”

Zhou Peigong sneered: "It seems that Wei Fuzun has long known that the soldiers are doing this pastime in private, right?" If I'm not mistaken, it's gambling, right? This is expressly forbidden in the military. Zhou Fuzun not only did not stop it, but also connived at this kind of behavior. Aren't you afraid that the Governor will be chilled when he finds out? ”

Wei Xiannian was a little scared when he heard this.

Who is Zhou Peigong, that is the confidant of the Governor.

If he really whispered a few words in the ear of the governor, Wei Xiannian's career would really be over.

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou is angry. This matter is indeed an oversight on the part of the official. However, the matter is indeed not as serious as Mr. Zhou thought. ”

"Hasn't Wei Fuzun heard of the prevention of microaggressions?"

"What Mr. Zhou said is that the officer immediately ordered a change of guard, and gambling in the army is strictly prohibited in the future."

The immediate priority was to appease Zhou Peigong, and Wei Xiannian did not want him to go to Governor Hu to slander him.

"Humph!"

Zhou Peigong snorted coldly and walked away.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou!"

Wei Xiannian couldn't stop shouting Zhou Peigong several times, and stomped his feet angrily.

...

...

"It's time to go down!"

Seeing that the hot air balloon had flown to the right position, Liu Xingming ordered in a deep voice.

The soldiers hurriedly got busy, and after the operation, the hot air balloon began to slowly descend with the air current.

Following this air flow, the hot air balloon will soon fly over the granary.

Liu Xingming took out an incendiary bomb and looked at it carefully for a moment.

According to His Majesty, as long as you throw this incendiary bomb, the surroundings will burn quickly, much faster than pouring tung oil and then igniting it with a torch.

It's just that His Majesty said that the number of incendiary bombs is not much, and it must be used at the most critical time. Therefore, there are only a few pieces handed over to Liu Xingming.

Liu Xingming's chance is only for a moment, if the hot air balloon flies over the granary, he will not have a chance to throw it.

"The general is almost here!"

The opportunity was fleeting, and Liu Xingming immediately ordered: "Prepare to throw incendiary bombs!" ”

He wanted to throw all these incendiary bombs at once and destroy the granary directly.

Getting closer and closer to the granary, Liu Xingming's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and he had to hold his breath.

Finally, the hot air balloon flew directly above the granary, and the time and place were favorable!

"Throw!"

Liu Xingming gave the order.

The soldiers of the Ming army threw the prepared incendiary bombs downward, and soon the incendiary bombs smashed into the granary and quickly burned.

This purely wooden structure has no fire resistance at all. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to start open fires in important places such as granaries.

The fire spread in an instant, and the flames soared into the sky! Billowing smoke swirled into the sky.

"It worked!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Xingming waved his fists excitedly.

If he wasn't in a hot air balloon, he would even jump excitedly.

"This incendiary bomb is really amazing."

Liu Xingming couldn't believe his eyes.

"The speed at which the fire spreads is that even the gods can't save it."

Your Majesty should find out soon, right?

...

...

"Your Majesty, look, it's burning!"

Li Dingguo was the most sharp-eyed, and immediately discovered the raging fire burning in the city.

Smoke billowed from this point of view, and the fire must have been very large from this point of view.

Zhu Youlang looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, he saw thick black smoke.

There is no doubt that Liu Xingming succeeded.

Good! Sure enough, I didn't disappoint!

At this moment, the Qing army must be busy fighting fires, and the position must be in chaos, it is a good time to bomb the city!
