The soldiers of the firearms battalion barely bent the corners of their mouths, and then silently took the grenade handed by their colleagues and put it at their feet. As the coal in the furnace burned more and more fully, the black smoke slowly decreased, and a person stepped on the blower with his foot, and everyone could see that there was a spark of air coming out of the chimney, like blowing up a balloon, constantly inflating the air into the round sphere above.

As the gas increased, some of the deflated spheres slowly expanded. At this time, I saw clearly the painting on the sphere, and it turned out to be a black skull, and at this time, those craftsmen were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed: "This is the devil, it's terrible!" Don't eat me. ”

The soldiers of the firearms battalion were no better, pointing to the hot air balloon, the boss with his mouth open, his hands and legs were shaking, everyone was frightened by this behemoth, the skull on top, the stove was burning below, as if it was breathing fire, and it was true that people who saw it for the first time felt terrible.

Daniel Zhang was the one who watched Li Dongsheng make the hot air balloon step by step, and he was also terrified at this time: "Young Master, they won't eat people." ”

"! This is a painting painted by me, young master, to scare those Tibetan Turks. You're afraid of hair, aren't they all made by yourself! Li Dongsheng said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and work, the city wall will not be able to hold on!" ”

It didn't take long for everyone present to open their mouths and eyes, and the hot air balloon slowly swayed and slowly floated upward, and then straightened the rope connected to the hanging basket, and shook it again, and slowly rose up with the firearms battalion soldiers with the hanging basket and the hanging basket.

A total of three hot air balloons were made, and at this time they were all full of gas and ready to slowly take off, and a soldier from a firearms battalion shouted loudly: "Master Hou, my name is Wang Hui, a person from Jingyang, Guanzhong, remember, I am the first person to fly into the sky." ”

"Master Hou, my name is Ma Gang...

"Master Hou, my name is Gao Hua...

Someone started and everyone shouted, Li Dongsheng waved his hand and said: "I know, when I first looked for you, I had already registered the address of my name's house, and if you went up, it would be 300 guan, and if there was misfortune, it would be 1,000 guan, and I would give it to you at once." Then he added: "Look at the grenades when you throw them, and don't throw them on your own heads." ”

Xi Junmai felt that he had reached the most desperate time, more and more enemies climbed to the top of the city, and there were fewer and fewer comrades-in-arms around him. All he could see were corpses and stumps and severed arms, and then he looked into the distance, countless enemies outside the city were still running towards the city wall, he no longer had any strength, and there were several more wounds on his arms and thighs. He stabbed an enemy to death, and in his heart he had already spurred the blood of Li Dongsheng and Wei Chi Baolin, these two guys had disappeared for several days, and the reserve of a thousand firearms battalion soldiers would not come up again, and they were really going to be lost.

Dozens of ladders came up on the city, countless enemy troops climbed up, and the only remaining remnants of the army on the city desperately resisted, but they were outnumbered, and the Tang army had lost control on the city, and the tide of enemies poured up, like a group of ants surrounding the prey, wrapping the Tang army.

Xi Junmai gathered with the remaining more than 100 people, desperately resisting the surrounding enemies, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "I am going to die in the city today." I never thought that I would die in a small city in the Western Regions, but I am a person who wants to be a general. I don't know who suddenly sang: "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north... ”

Everyone sang along: "The dragon flag rolls, the horse grows, and the sword qi is like frost... The enemies around them were also frightened, how could the dying people still sing?

At the gate of the camp, Sambu laughed: "Gaochang City has finally been taken!" ”

Yibi Ahun also smiled: "Hard work pays off." In fact, as long as we are not afraid of casualties, we have the advantage in numbers, and it will be a matter of time before we take it. ”

Reyeji was originally very uncomfortable, but at this time, Gaochang City was about to arrive, and he could only echo and said: "You two are still well guided, and when the time comes, Gaochang City will be an open city according to what we said, and the felt factory and wine workshop will be us... Then his voice sharpened: "What's that?" ”

Sambu and Ebi Ahun also saw a black sphere slowly rising from behind the city wall, and it was so huge that there were even three of them. Although he didn't know what it was, Sambu knew that it was definitely not here from the coalition army, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back: "Could it be that the Tang Army still has a killer weapon?" ”

The soldiers of the firearms battalion, who were already preparing to fight desperately, were ready to kill one and kill two to earn money, and suddenly found that the attack of the Tubo coalition army had stopped, and everyone looked behind them with their mouths open, although they didn't know what the situation was, Xi Junmai still turned his head quickly, and then he was frozen like the Turkic Tubo soldiers.

As the hot air balloon slowly rose, everyone finally saw that these were a few skulls, only to see that the eyes of those Tibetan soldiers were getting bigger and bigger, their hands and feet were shaking, and then their teeth began to tremble, I don't know who shouted: "This devil in hell!" Run away, everyone! ”

The Tubo coalition army, which had flaunted its might just now, ran desperately backwards like frightened rabbits, trying to slip down the ladder down the city. But there were too many people who wanted to go down, and there were not enough ladders, and everyone was huddled together in a pile where the arrows were, and then they saw that the devil's mouth was still spewing fire, and this thing shocked them too much.

How many people knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads, kept kowtowing, and some people had collapsed, so they threw away their weapons and howled and cried, Xi Junmai looked at the current city, and there was no enemy to care about them, but the soldiers of the firearms battalion looked at this scene with a somewhat familiar feeling, as if they had seen it somewhere. Xi Jun thought about it, isn't this the reaction of these Tubo people when they threw the grenade out.

Thinking about the grenade, the grenade arrived immediately. As soon as the head of the firearms battalion in the gondola was higher than the head of the city, he lit a grenade with the fire in the stove and threw it towards the crowded area.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The Tubo, Turkic, and Western Regions people who gathered together were all unlucky, and the ghosts who were bombed cried wolves, which further intensified their fears, and listening to the familiar explosions, many people remembered those unfortunate encounters. There are also people who wonder why this weapon is so powerful, it turns out that it is a weapon brought by the devil.

So they were even more afraid, and in order to snatch the ladder to get down the city, they did not hesitate to draw their swords against each other, and some of them jumped off the city directly after being frightened, preferring to fall to their deaths rather than stay with the devil at the head of the city.
