The whole flying team has entered a tense state.

The order has been delivered.

These recruited team members, who usually eat and drink well, practice in Xishan every day, if they are not nervous, it is false.

They began to memorize their destination, and after the order was given, they held the map in their hands and kept correcting their positions with a compass.

Once the flyball is lifted into the air, it is up to the people on each flyer to fend for themselves.

Even...... If you are not careful, the flying ball may be blown off course by turbulence, and if you do, you will run out of fuel, which is a terrible consequence.

So they began to silently write down everything they needed to pay attention to.

Most of them are scholars, although they have no fame, but they still have the ability to barely read and hyphenation, Shen Wen and Yang Biao treat them well, and they also know in their hearts what their mission is.

Gradually, it got dark.

Night...... No wind.

The stars in the sky spread all over the sky, shining and shining.

Even though the stars are all over the sky, the moonlight is a little miserable.

Immediately after, the balloons began to untie their cables and began to fly.

After countless balloons slowly took off into the air, they continued to rise and began to enter the predetermined air layer, leaving nothing more than a small fire like stars on the ground.

Shen Ao and Yang Biao also put on goggles.

Although Yang Biao doesn't like goggles, but now, he is already a thousand-household official of the flying team, because of this, he pays special attention to his image, and in order to set an example, this goggles still need to be worn.

The two checked the military supplies in the rattan basket, there was food, there was spare fuel, if there was an accident, the bedding prepared when they had to make a forced landing, and the safety belt tied to the side of the rattan basket, once they were forced to land, people could easily sit in the rattan basket, and use this rope to tie themselves to the rattan basket completely, and the thick quilt could cover their whole body.

These are all lessons accumulated with blood and sweat after taking off again and again.

Of course, there is also a compass, a map, and even a salute as a signal, and the main battle order is confirmed by the fireworks of these fireworks.

The most numerous of them were a large number of glass bottles, which were made from the glass workshop as thick as a man's arm, filled with liquid, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with wooden stoppers and wax oil, and many iron nails could be clearly seen in this liquid.

Such bottles, in a flying ball, are full of more than a hundred, all of which are fixed in wooden boxes, and they occupy almost half of the entire rattan basket.

Yang Biao and Shen Ao are old partners, and they are naturally in a flying ball, and after all the flying balls are in the air, they also ordered to untie the cable.

The flying ball, which had lost the pull of the cable on the ground, began to take off.

Yang Biao whistled, looked at the stars in the sky, and hummed happily: "Good night." It is too easy to identify the target on the ground at night, the Tatar camp, there are countless bonfires, you only need to find the location of the bonfire, you can confirm the location, on the other hand, it is daytime, we have so many flying balls, not only easy to expose, this broad daylight, although the eyes can see the ground, but ...... Compared to being so conspicuous at night, it is much more troublesome. ”

As he spoke, he flew the balloon to the designated airflow.

The air flow here blows from south to north.

Without hesitation, the flying ball fluttered quickly towards the north.

Yang Biao fixed the fire of the oil jar, fixed the balloon in this troposphere, and then sat in the rattan basket, took out the beef jerky from the sac, and ate it happily.

Shen Ao was standing, letting the wind blow his long hair behind him, blowing his clothes up, and in the goggles, under the same sky in front of him, countless fires were flickering, and sixty balloons drifted north together.

Yang Biao saw Shen Ao standing silently, as if he had something in mind, and couldn't help but speak.

"Are you hungry, do you want to eat some jerky?"

"Don't eat it." Shen Ao shook his head, he pressed the long sword on his waist, and looked back at Yang Biao: "Old Yang......"

"What?" Yang Biao saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but ask Shen Ao: "What do you want to say?" ”

"You say, is our surprise attack effective?" Shen Ao was a little suspicious, this was the first time to launch an attack, and he had been thinking about this question all the time.

To be honest, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, this was a tactic he had never tried before, so his heart was worried, and he was a little uneasy.

Yang Biao didn't have Shen Ao's thoughts, but said with a smile: "What do you want to do, my mother said, what Engong said, let's just do it, you scholars like to think more, what do you think?" There's nothing to think about, we've all lifted off, just do it. ”

Shen Ao's eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't help but smile: "What you said makes sense, sometimes, I should really learn from you, and think less about some things in my heart." ”

Yang Biao sighed and sighed: "This is different, you are a scholar, it is right for a scholar to ponder things, if a scholar does not ponder things, it is a terrible thing." But I'm different, I'm just a rough guy, in my life, one listens to Engong, the other listens to my mother, and the others, the emperor Lao Tzu is here, and I don't recognize it. Do you know why not? ”

"Why?" For this guy's big grin, Shen Ao has long been accustomed to it.

Yang Biao comfortably put his hands on his head, looked at the night sky, and said solemnly: "Because what kind of person others are, with my brain, I can't tell the difference." Whether they will harm me, whether they will use me as a gunman, these are things that I don't understand. But in this world, only my mother and Engong will not harm me, what they tell me to do, it must be for my good, so ...... If I just listen to them, I won't be wrong. ”

Shen Ao smiled: "No, you are the real smart person." ”

Yang Biao lowered his head and ate jerky: "This time, if I fail, I won't have the face to see Engong, and after I go back, I will honestly go to Xishan to mine; But if it happens, I go back, Engong said that he may not want to see me, I asked me to knit a sweater for him to put on, my mother said, to be a man to remember the grace, without Engong, there will be no life for our mother, now the weather is cold, Engong is young, maybe he can grow longer, but don't freeze. ”

…………

Dozens of flying balls have crossed the Datong Pass and continue to the north.

Immediately, Yang Biao stood up, the general direction had arrived, he directly took off his goggles, then took out the binoculars, and began to look for the target.

Near him, balloons slowly squirmed, all seemingly looking for targets on the ground.

"Northeast Corner!" On the other side, Shen Ao said excitedly.

Yang Biao immediately looked at the northeast corner.

He became excited.

There...... Faintly, you can see the undulating mountains, in the narrow valley, a series of bonfires flickering, like the stars in the night sky.

"That's it!" Yang Biao said excitedly: "To the northeast." ”

He took the compass, increasing and decreasing the dye, finding the airflow in the direction of the campfire, and finally, the flying ball slowly moved in that direction.

Dozens of flying balls, silently, towards the same goal, like ghosts in the sky.

Yang Biao's face became solemn, at this time, they had begun to hover above the canyon, under their feet, there were camps for several miles, countless tents were connected together, and on the ground, hundreds of bonfires, looking from the sky, were like stars.

"But I've found you, I want to kill you." Yang Biao laughed.

Shen Ao stared at Yang Biao and asked, "Do it?" ”

Yang Biao smiled and smiled very happily: "Wait, I'll release the water first, damn it, I can't hold my urine when I'm nervous, and I don't know if I'm sick, I have to find a doctor to take a look." ”

He happily put the water down.

And under these flying balls.

Tens of thousands of troops were stationed here.

The Tatars camped with almost no protection, except for the fence of the camp and the horse ring.

After all, what they are facing is the Ming army that can't shrink in the pass, and in the desert, they are fundamental enemies.

Therefore, the vast majority of people, at this time, have fallen asleep.

The Tatar warriors on duty at night were just casually beating horses and walking around, and the weather at night was particularly harsh, so they stomped their feet or found a campfire near them, and just lay down for a while.

Chao Lu Nai is a member of the Golden Horde, his father, is the Great Khan's personal guard, although he is only thirteen years old, but the Tatars grew up on horseback when they were young, and when they were older, they began to herd horses, and when they were ten years old, they could already draw a bow, and thirteen years old was the age of the expedition, in the words of the Great Khan, a person of his age could face three or four officers and soldiers of the Ming army.

He was full of excitement about this southern expedition, but he was young, and tomorrow, he would not participate in the siege of Datong tomorrow, so it was his turn to keep vigil.

He loves to look at the stars.

There are many stars in the sky.

But today, there are a lot of them.

I don't know if it's because the night wind blows away a dark cloud.

Suddenly there were many more stars above his head, sometimes large and sometimes small, which were a little different from the other stars.

He was wrapped in the animal skin on his body, perhaps because he couldn't stand the cold wind, and stamped his feet, thinking in his heart, this star is so close to the earth, could it be that the stars of the southerners are so close to the earth?

Tomorrow, I can't participate in the siege, it's a pity, my father said, the first person to enter the customs, can have the right to dispose of the women and children in the city, then, they can have women, not only that, the rice of the southern people is very delicious, there are iron pots, there are tea, the heads of the southern people, like sheep, along the back of the neck, it will easily fall.

Chaolu's heart was filled with great loss, but unfortunately, he couldn't be the first to enter the city, otherwise, he would have to cut off the heads of a few southerners with his own hands, and only in this way could he become a real southerner.
