The situation in Shandong was urgent, and Mao Wenlong was also angry, and on the day he learned the news, he urgently ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses to be mobilized from all over the country to support Shandong. And Mao Wenlong himself gave an order to Wang Datie of Ye County, asking him to prepare a hundred hot air balloons to take off immediately.

Leaving the affairs of Xi'an to Hong Chengchou to take care of, Mao Wenlong only took Haoda and Haoxiao, Adou and a dozen personal guards, and rushed to Yexian in a hot air balloon. In Ye County, Wang Datie had already prepared a hundred hot air balloons, and Mao Wenlong vigorously slaughtered Jinan Mansion in Shandong.

He wants to teach Wu Sangui a cruel lesson, the tiger is not a sick cat if he doesn't exert his might, and he Mao Wenlong is not easy to mess with.

After the accident in Jinan Mansion, Yunzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion have urgently dispatched troops to support, and the three Lihui brothers also activated the inland naval army and quickly went along the Yellow River to support.

It is a pity that Shandong's current strength is limited, and although there is support from all sides, it still cannot withstand the continuous attack of Wu Sangui's 100,000-strong army. The Dongjiang army resisted hard, but it was still at a disadvantage, and as the war heated up, the number of casualties on both sides continued to accumulate.

Jinan Province originally had 10,000 defenders, but when it was attacked for the first time, it directly lost nearly 5,000 men and horses. Later, although there were soldiers and horses from other places who rushed to support one after another, it was a drop in the bucket and did not help much for the crisis in Jinan Prefecture.

Mao Wenlong was anxious all the way, constantly urging the person who controlled the hot air balloon to accelerate and accelerate. Day and night, Mao Wenlong finally arrived in the sky above Jinan Mansion after three days.

Looking down from above, Jinan Mansion is already devastated, and war is burning everywhere. Wu Sangui's Liaodong soldiers are all elite soldiers, and they fight against the Jin soldiers all the year round, so it can be said that they are no worse than the Dongjiang army.

Even, when encountering these new Dongjiang Army, their combat power was obviously much stronger. And the most important thing is that the Liaodong Army is not as good as the Jin soldiers, they are quite experienced in siege warfare, and the siege equipment is also readily available.

Looking at the stone-throwing machine below that was constantly throwing fireballs, between the continuous ups and downs, the dense fireballs continued to smash into the city of Jinan. There were ruins everywhere, cries and wails everywhere.

There are corpses everywhere on and under the city walls, and the two sides in the battle are losing their lives.

Mao Wenlong's eyes were red, he had already seen that the city of Jinan Mansion was already crumbling at this moment, and if he came half a day late, Jinan Mansion would inevitably be broken by the Liaodong Army.

"Send the order down, the whole army attack, tell them, how many explosives they brought, all of them will be thrown down by Lao Tzu, if anyone dares to have the remaining explosives, Lao Tzu will cut off his head." Mao Wenlong viciously told the banner soldiers beside him.

After the flag soldiers received the order, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately activated the flag and began to transmit Mao Wenlong's orders to other hot air balloons through simple flag language.

After a while, a hundred hot air balloons began to slowly float into the sky above the Liaodong Army, and then, one by one, gunpowder jars began to smash down one by one.

Suddenly, the Liaodong army noticed something strange floating above their heads, and they all stared blankly at the sky, their faces full of bewilderment.

"Bang!"

"Bang Bang ......"

The jars thrown from the hot air balloon began to explode one after another in the Liaodong Army when they were about a meter above the ground.

These jars, which contained gunpowder and sharp stone chips, were rigorously tested before they were allowed to be used on the battlefield. And in order for the jar to burn the fuse and explode when it is about a meter above the ground, the height of the hot air balloon is particularly important.

Fortunately, the Dongjiang Army is now familiar with manipulating hot air balloons, and after Susu, it has been fully debugged and began to bomb the Liaodong Army mercilessly.

"Lord Wang, it's not good, those strange things floating in the air of the Dongjiang Army have appeared." A general hurriedly said to Wu Sangui.

In fact, Wu Sangui noticed the abnormality in the air early in the morning, he obviously expected such a scene, and at this moment he sneered unhurriedly: "Pass the order, send out crossbow arrows, and shoot those monsters down for this king." ”

"Yes!" The generals did not dare to slack off, just for a moment, the explosions on the battlefield have been heard many times.

With a rattling sound, from the rear army of the Liaodong Army, more than forty crossbow arrows were pushed onto the high ground that had been prepared earlier.

In the sky, Haoda happened to see the scene of the Liaodong Army preparing crossbow arrows, and he immediately said to Mao Wenlong: "It's not good, Wu Sangui actually prepared crossbow arrows." ”

"Crossbow arrows, I'll take a look." Mao Wenlong directly grabbed the huge telescope, and under the guidance of the vast one, he soon saw more than forty crossbow arrows lined up.

Mao Wenlong frowned and said to himself, "I don't know how far these crossbow arrows are?" ”

After hearing this, Haoda immediately asked for orders: "Chief soldier, do you want me to give it a try?" ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to be careful." ”

Haoda smiled and said, "I know." ”

Haoda knows very well that the effective range of ordinary crossbow arrows is only about 300 meters, and the most powerful crossbow arrows are only 500 meters. Relying on the current altitude of 500 meters in the hot air balloon, even if Wu Sangui's crossbow arrows are all high-grade crossbow arrows, they will definitely not be able to hurt the hot air balloon in the sky.

But in case of emergency, Haoda still didn't dare to be too careless, and he hoisted himself onto another hot air balloon with a rope. He rose directly to a height of 600 meters, and then slowly floated towards the position of those crossbow arrows.

Wu Sangui soon noticed that a hot air balloon began to float slowly towards this side, a hideous smile appeared on his face, and he coldly ordered: "Tell those crossbow archers that if anyone shoots that thing down in the air, the reward will be one hundred taels and the official will be promoted to three ranks." ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and Wu Sangui's stimulation directly caused those crossbow archers to become restless. One by one, they began to gear up for a performance.

Haoda quickly noticed the situation below, and watched those crossbow arrows begin to slowly raise their heads, the arrows of the crossbow arrows were already aimed at the hot air balloon he was riding, to be honest, Haoda had no bottom in his heart at the moment.

The soldier who was operating the hot air balloon had already begun to sit still, and he hesitated and said to Haoda: "General, why don't we go up another fifty meters?" ”

A trace of hesitation flashed on Haoda's face, but he quickly regained his composure: "It's okay, the most powerful crossbow arrow in the world can shoot five hundred meters away, which is already the end." We're already at an altitude of 600 meters, and we're afraid of it. ”

It's a pity that this time the Dongjiang Army came too quickly, and did not prepare a higher-altitude gunpowder jar, otherwise there would not be as troublesome as now. Throw a jar of gunpowder directly from this height.
