In the silence of the night, a sudden boom sounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

An ordinary-looking rocket rose from the ground and shot into the air. The flame at the tail of the bazooka shoots flames like fireworks, and the higher it flies, it is very beautiful.

When the rocket flew to an altitude of several hundred meters, the rocket did not explode. The tail of the rocket fell, but the warhead flashed brightly, emitting a blinding incandescent light.

The training ground within a radius of one mile was suddenly illuminated by this violently burning rocket. Compared to the incendiary bombs in the sky, the lanterns held by the guards on the ground were simply fireflies.

The rocket seemed to turn into a small sun, suspended in the air at a height of several hundred meters, and slowly descended at a speed of several meters per second.

Seeing the successful test firing of the flares, everyone was very excited and applauded with joy.

Now, with Li Zhi's words and deeds, many people in Fanjiazhuang have begun to applaud to express their appreciation. Watching the play, seeing the wonderful applause, watching the jugglers perform and applauding, and seeing that Jin Guogong has invented a magical new thing, of course, everyone should applaud.

Li Zhi got flares this time.

Flares are a very important thing for today's Tiger Army, and they are the key to whether the Tiger Army can defeat the enemy in the dark night.

In the past, the Tiger Ben Army fought together with other Ming armies, and there was no need to consider special operations. The Tiger Army, with the cooperation of friendly forces, plays the role of sharp knives. Fighting in rain and snow and fighting at night is extremely unlikely. Because during the special operation, the friendly forces of the Tiger Army will stand up and resist, and the enemy will not be able to get the advantage.

However, as the Tiger Army became stronger and stronger, the Tiger Army began to fight alone, which faced the test of special operations.

Since it is impossible for the enemy to defeat the Tiger Army in a clear day, it is natural to try to attack the Tiger Army in the rain and at night. The battle in Henan has proven that the enemy is not a fool, will start a war on a rainy day, will use all natural factors to reduce the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army.

If the intruder army breaks through the cauldron and attacks the tiger army in the dark night, the tiger army will have to fight the intruder in hand-to-hand combat.

Li Zhi has adapted the rifle to the light rain weather, and the next thing to overcome is the night. The easiest and most effective way to deal with a dark environment is a flare.

Flares are not complicated, and the simplest way to make them is to use aluminum powder, saltpeter powder and rosin to form a combustible. This combustible material emits a huge bright light when burned. And because of the binding effect of rosin, the flare burns gradually from head to bit, and can burn for more than a minute.

A parachute hangs from the tail of the flare. When the rocket reaches its highest altitude, the parachute is ejected from the body and opens in the air. The violently burning flares and parachutes slowly descend together, illuminating the nearby area.

Li Zhi stood on the training ground and watched as the flare slowly landed and extinguished.

Zu Dashou said loudly: "Grandpa Guo, with this sharp weapon, our infantry is not afraid of any tricks." Even if the thieves attack the camp at night, they can kill them all. ”

Li Zhi nodded.

Zhong Feng suddenly asked: "Commander, if we drive the thieves out of Henan this time, will we withdraw after the fight?" ”

Li Zhi turned to look at Zhong Feng.

Zhong Feng observed Li Zhi's face, thinking that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, and scratched his head with a smile.

Li Zhi said: "If Henan is returned to the gentry, these gentry will definitely counterattack." Within three years, Henan will have to produce new thieves. This time, after we annihilated the thieves in Henan, we took over Henan. We must be responsible for the poor people in Henan, so that they can eat enough and not be thieves. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Zhong Feng touched his head and laughed.

Zhong Feng felt that he admired the army commander more and more, obviously he was going to Henan to expand his territory, but he could still let the Son of Heaven come to ask for troops. After occupying the new territory, he didn't leave, and he said it so righteously.

However, after occupying Henan, there will be an additional governor of Henan and a position of Henan general soldiers.

Zhong Feng was pondering, but heard Li Zhi say: "Two thousand soldiers were withdrawn from Henan, ten thousand soldiers were withdrawn from Huai'an, and now we have twelve thousand veterans in our hands." Zhong Feng, you take these soldiers and horses to crusade against the rebellious Korea, and you must bring the head of the Korean king Li Liang to see me. ”

Zhong Feng saluted and said loudly: "Commander, rest assured. ”

On the fifth day of August, Zhong Feng led the Northern Expeditionary Army to face the 170,000 Korean rebels at Phoenix Fort.

Phoenix Fort is the Fengcheng of later generations, which is already in the territory of Li Zhi's Liaodong Province, more than 100 miles away from the Korean border. After controlling the situation in Korea, the rebel army of Korea sent troops to attack Liaodong and had already marched to Phoenix Fort. If it weren't for Zhong Feng's soldiers and horses to land directly in Liaodong Province by ship, I am afraid that the Korean rebel army would have fought all the way to Shenyang, the provincial capital.

The sudden landing of Zhong Feng's Northern Expeditionary Army surprised the Korean army. Park Dae-kyung, the Korean leader who led the troops, lined up 170,000 "two squads" in front of the Tiger Ben Army and surrounded the Northern Expeditionary Army from three directions.

However, Park Dajing was resourceful and indecisive, and surrounded the Northern Expeditionary Army but did not dare to attack. The Tiger Ben Army, armed to the teeth, once swept through North Korea, putting a lot of psychological pressure on Park Dajing. The 170,000-strong army stood in formation from morning to noon, and never attacked the Tiger Ben army five miles away.

Zhong Feng saw that the North Koreans had no fighting spirit, and there was no wind today, so he raised twenty hot air balloons that made the North Koreans frightened.

Hot air balloons are not a weapon that is very suitable for the Jiangbei Army. Flying too low is likely to be shot down by random shots, and flying too high will lose attack power. Dealing with guerrilla troops who come and go like the wind like thieves, it is difficult for hot air balloons to catch up with the thieves' escape speed. But for North Koreans who like to fight positional warfare and do not have long-range firearms, hot air balloons are a big killer.

Seeing the hot air balloon, Park Dajing's face turned pale, thinking of the hot air balloon massacre at the head of Seoul, and he had lost his fighting spirit.

Jin Jingyou, the soldier of Ping'an Dao next to Park Dajing, had never seen a hot air balloon, and when he saw the huge sphere slowly rising into the air, Jin Jingyou's face turned pale with fright, and he turned his head to look at Park Dajing: "Prime Minister, Li Zhi's people know magic?" ”

Park Dajing closed his eyes and shook his head.

"That's a hot air balloon, and the people on it will shoot at our soldiers!"

Jin Jingyou was already panicked and asked, "What should I do then?" Prime minister? What to do? ”

Park Dajing stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw, we can't attack that hot air balloon at all, we can only be beaten in vain." Let's withdraw, think long-term. ”

Jin Jingyou said: "Prime Minister, could it be that we run away without a fight? The people of Tianjin will chase all the way to Seoul, and this battle will be fought sooner or later. The later you fight, the lower the morale. If it really arrives in Seoul to fight, I am afraid that the morale of the army will collapse. ”

Park Dajing glared at the hot air balloon that was slowly floating over, and said, "We have no chance of winning in a head-on battle. We selected 20,000 people who could see things at night, and attacked the camp of the Tianjin people at the third watch. ”
