As the night deepened, the camp outside the city seemed quiet as the general attack for the second day was scheduled, and everyone except for the soldiers on duty went to bed early.

And in Mingweiburg, for some reason, the lights seem to be much less on this night. Under the cover of night, it seems a little dark.

However, in the square of the city, groups of Ming soldiers were silently busy. In the middle of the square, there are objects one after another, although there are hazy lanterns shrouded, but the soldiers of the Ming army here have never seen it before.

The Cossack chieftain Khmelnitsky was ordered to launch a general attack on the enemy outside the city as soon as it dawned tomorrow.

This order made him very puzzled, the difference in strength between the two sides was so great, why not hide in the city to defend, but take the initiative to attack. Even if the Ming army can fight again, how can it promise an enemy several times its own? You know, the coalition armies outside the city are the elite armies of various countries!

For this reason, for the first time, he raised a rare objection and voiced his concerns. When Man Gui heard this, he smiled and said to him: "Ben Shuai naturally won't do such a thing as a moth fighting a fire. The reason for this decision is that the enemy will be defeated. If you're not at ease, don't sleep tonight and enjoy a scene you've never seen before! ”

This answer surprised Khmelnitsky very much, and he was also very curious, what kind of scene could make so many troops outside the city be defeated by the 50,000 troops inside the city? That seems a little incredible!

At this time, he followed behind Man Gui, watching the soldiers of the Ming army busy in the square. And Li Dingguo, on the contrary, fell asleep early and did not come to watch.

Khmelnitsky found that the things in the square were all transported from Daming before the Allies attacked. At that time, the defense was very tight, and the warehouse where the goods were stored was also guarded day and night. Seeing this, he was even more curious in his heart, what is this, can it really make Da Ming win this battle?

Under the busyness of the soldiers of the Ming army, the object slowly changed.

It looked like a piece of cloth, but it was empty, and there was air filling it in, so it slowly puffed up. Bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally it became a long, round thing. Underneath this thing, there is also a large basket......

Khmelnitsky was very surprised, so he wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Man Gui: "There are rules, it is impossible to approach, it may be dangerous." ”

In fact, Man Gui himself is also curious, and he also wants to take a closer look. However, what is being operated over there is a real protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the current emperor is called a master, and he has to obey the strict order for any irrelevant people to approach.

In fact, there is no way to do this, at this time, Da Ming has no way to make helium, so he can only use hydrogen to inflate this airship, which is very dangerous. Therefore, the officers and men of the Air Force had to handle the airship with care. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, and this first actual combat will have to smash the pot.

That's right, the preparations being made on the square are the air force units of the Ming Dynasty, and the person at the head is Xu Zhengming. In the past, it was obscure because it was a secret.

Speaking of which, airships are greatly affected by the weather. Moreover, the airship at this time was too cumbersome, and if it was used during the day, it could be used for siege warfare, but it was basically useless when it was used to defend the city. The enemy is not a fool and will definitely take precautions. However, with the cover of night, it is different. Anyway, the enemy's camp, which was guided by a campfire, didn't get much in the way.

The airship slowly inflated and began to levitate. This scene made the mouths of those who had never seen it open in surprise. And when two Ming soldiers entered the gondola, one operated the airship, and the other sorted out the things that were carried on the gondola, and then untied the cable and began to slowly rise into the air, everyone was stunned.

Khmelnitsky had never heard of it before, and he was even more surprised that he flew, flew with people, and oh my God, people flew......

One, two, three...... There were twenty-five airships, and all of them managed to fly.

Man Gui naturally knew what was going to happen next, so he hurriedly called his personal guard and told him to wake up Li Dingguo, which was agreed upon by both parties.

Looking up and watching the airship rise higher and higher, after reaching a certain height, the airship began to float in the same direction, which was the enemy's camp outside the city, and the Chinese military tent that had been observed during the day was the goal.

The pilots of the airships are all in the chat group, and the officers of the Air Force are in contact and command through the chat group.

At this moment, even these air force officers and soldiers were very excited. After all, this battle was the first battle since the establishment of the Air Force. The Chinese have always attached great importance to a good start, so this battle is a crucial battle for the Air Force.

It's not even them, in the chat group, some bigwigs from far away in the Ming Dynasty, such as Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the military department, Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the ministry, Hong Chengchou of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other known soldiers, as well as those who do not know soldiers, including the first assistant Wen Tiren, the auxiliary minister Xue Guoguan, etc., as long as they are in the chat group, they have not slept, and they have to witness the sacred first battle of the air force that has never been seen before.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen even prepared enough achievement points to let several air force officers and soldiers shoot videos from different angles for live broadcast.

On the side of Mingwei Fort, some soldiers like Li Dingguo, who had been ordered to sleep early, were notified at this time, got up quietly, and all went to the city to watch the upcoming first battle of the air force.

In the dark night, after taking off, the airship troops, after slowly moving in the direction of the enemy's camp outside the city, slowly faded out of the sight of the soldiers of the Ming army at the head of the city. I could only faintly see that in the dark night, there was a black shadow that seemed to be moving. After a little farther away, it is completely invisible.

At this time, everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at the enemy camp in the distance, guessing in their hearts where the magical airship troops had flown and what would happen next?

Time seems to stand still, making people wait for it to be extremely tormenting.

Wait, there's no movement yet, wait, there's no movement yet......

I don't know how long I've been waiting, and some people even began to suspect that those airship troops, don't they fly to the point where they don't know where to go, right?

However, Man Gui and Li Dingguo were very calm, and the other soldiers did not dare to make noise and discuss because of the constraints of military discipline. can only continue to wait silently in the dark night.

The coalition camp outside the city is still as usual. At night, it seems quiet. Those burning bonfires, dotted with stars, are proof that there is a huge military camp over there.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt that it was already the second half of the night, and there was no movement, and it was about to dawn when I turned back.

Suddenly, I saw a campfire in the camp of the coalition army in the distance, as if it had been stimulated by something, and suddenly exploded, and the fire was so fierce that even the nearest camp tent was on fire.

As soon as they saw this movement, everyone in the city of Mingweibao was in high spirits. With this movement, it must be the airship force that is doing it.

Man Gui and Li Dingguo knew better than they knew, because they knew in advance that the airships that had been loaded with crockpots filled with fierce fire oil were all carried before. The sudden change in the campfire of the enemy's camp in the distance was definitely smashed by the fierce fire oil.

Khmelnitsky's eyes were about to spit out, Da Ming was able to raid the enemy's camp from the air, this fire was burning, it is estimated that those enemies outside the city thought it was a divine fire from the sky, right?

The enemy outside the city is really going to be finished, no wonder several adults said that they would go out of the city early tomorrow morning to launch a general attack on the enemy, and now, he understands!

At this time, the airship troops were already in the sky above the enemy's military tents, and the distribution was a little scattered, and cans of fire oil were smashed down, and the fire in the enemy's camp below was soon soaring, and many living people were struggling, and more camp tents were on fire. Countless coalition soldiers were frightened, and ran out of the camp to see things smashed down from the sky, and the fire became more and more fierce and could not be extinguished. For such soldiers who don't know the truth, they still think that God is punishing them.

Ignorance, fear, and the interweaving of various psychology made the coalition camp outside the city even more chaotic.

Some are running for their lives, some are struggling, some are praying......

Anyway, this chaos is because each soldier has different psychological endurance and different cognition, and has a variety of different reactions. It boils down to one word: chaos!

The chaotic situation gradually spread to the entire barracks. Fear, panic spread......

Bombing the camp in the dark was originally a very dangerous thing, not to mention, there was a blow beyond their cognition, which exacerbated the chaos in the barracks. As gunpowder was ignited and explosions sounded, the fire intensified.

In a panic, the coalition soldiers were like crazy, and the casualties began to increase exponentially.

In the coalition camp, this sudden change could not be controlled at all, and the camp was completely bombed.

In fact, not many of the coalition soldiers were burned to death, after all, twenty-five airships, how many cans of fierce fire oil can they carry? The casualties of the coalition soldiers were more trampled and killed in the dark night, and there were not too many of those who slashed and killed each other in fear.

The time soon reached the darkest time before dawn, and in Mingwei Fort, the soldiers of the Ming army, who had long been awakened by the movement outside the city, had already received an order to prepare for battle.

Something about what happened out there had already been explained. The first was to avoid causing chaos in the city, and the second was to boost the morale of the army. Obviously, the airship unit of the Air Force, which appeared in front of the world for the first time, has an unimaginable bonus to boosting morale. And the chaotic shouts outside the city came, which made the Ming soldiers eager to kill out of the city immediately.

Therefore, all the officers and men of the Ming army who received orders and were ready to attack were excitedly obeying the orders and preparing to attack.

When the east had just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, the darkness that shrouded the Eastern European Plain, and was dispelled by the light of dawn, the city gate of Mingweibao was lowered, and the Ming cavalry took the lead in rushing out of the city gate, rumbling horses' hooves, carrying dust, and launched an assault on the chaotic coalition camp.

At this time, it is bright enough to basically see the situation clearly. The Coalition soldiers who had fled the camp, or at least the burning camp, finally saw something above their camp.

Twenty-five airships that had thrown out the fire oil canisters were flying in the air, which was really not too shocking for those who saw it for the first time. In particular, they saw clearly that the airship was painted with the Ming flag, and there were people on it, and they were also wearing Ming military uniforms. It was even more shocking.

The Ming army actually flew !! Obviously, this is beyond their understanding!

In a panic, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. Naturally, it is impossible for the various countries in the coalition to conduct command across borders. The Coalition soldiers are like headless flies, in chaos! I saw the long line of Ming troops coming out of Mingwei Fort, divided into several parts and rushing over.

At this time, the coalition soldiers all fled from the camp in panic. Not only are they unarmed, but some don't even wear pants. Seeing the Ming army's iron cavalry rolling over, no one thought of resisting, and the first time was that Sa Yazi was a little farther away from the direction of the Ming army's charge.

Although the soldiers of the two armies were numerous, they were like lambs on the plains of Eastern Europe, and they fled in all directions under the attack of wolves.

30,000 cavalry troops, 20,000 infantry troops, under the command of Li Dingguo, Man Gui and others, had the opportunity to begin to drive the allied soldiers and drive them to the Volga River.

At the head of Mingwei Castle, the soldiers of the Ming army who were on duty at night were originally going to rest. But at this time, they did not go to rest, but watched the battle from the top of the city. Seeing that his comrades were driving the enemy like cattle and sheep, he couldn't help but get excited.

In particular, when the Ming cavalry saw that the enemy in some places seemed to be holding up to resist, the Ming iron cavalry rushed straight through, leaving a corpse in the ground, and re-dispersed the grouped enemy, forcing them to flee to the Volga River. Every time they saw this wonderful scene, the soldiers of the Ming army at the head of the city hurriedly pointed and applauded loudly.

On this day, the history books record that the Volga River was cut off, and the blood stained the entire Volga River, and it is said that no one dared to catch fish for many years to come.

The Ming army was always in pursuit, and even if a coalition soldier fled to the other side of the Volga River, there was always the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

And at noon, the soldiers of the coalition army stationed at the checkpoint in the Ural Mountains received a report that the Weburg side had been defeated!

In this regard, no one wants to believe it, let alone listen to the explanation that it was attacked by the Ming army last night with something flying in the sky, this is simply a fantasy, how is it possible!

However, as some of the defeated troops fled to this side, they could not believe it.

In the panic, some advocated immediate reinforcement, others advocated immediate escape, and in the panic of the people, no one had absolute authority to command the armies of the countries on this side of the Ural Mountains.

Before they could make a decision, the Ming army on the eastern side of the Ural Mountains launched an attack on them. A steady stream of Ming troops drove out of the checkpoints. The eastern side has a gentle slope, which happens to be an excellent terrain for condescending battles.

This is the commander of Yang Sichang, who gathered the cavalry of the Mongolian steppe department of the Ming Dynasty, reaching 150,000 people. Of course, these are said to be cavalry, but more of them are actually herdsmen, and they cannot be compared with the elite cavalry under Man Gui. But at this time, it was enough to deal with the panicked coalition forces.

At the two checkpoints in the Ural Mountains, a steady stream of Ming troops rushed down from the slopes like flowing water, and the coalition forces did not resist at all, so they broke up at once.

The Battle of Fort Minwei was one of the largest battles in human history; It was also the first time in human history that the air force shook the world and became the most critical turning point in the war.

After this war, Europe, at least Northern Europe, was already the world of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no force that could be hostile to the Ming Dynasty.

On the southern front, the Ming army also harassed the enemy, which surprised Murad IV of the Ottoman Empire, who was besieging the city.

The Ming army actually appeared in the territory of the Persian Empire and captured the material transit point of the army. At the first time, he understood that it must be the defeat of the Combined Fleet that would give the Ming army a chance to take a back route from the sea.

The cutting off of the grain routes in the rear was more fatal for his army, especially the greater the number of people.

Murad IV panicked, he was not sure, and called the dakata before the food and grass ran out. Not only that, but he was more worried, I don't know how many Ming troops attacked the rear by sea? I wonder if the Ming army invaded the Ottoman Empire? You must know that this expedition, he brought out all the troops in the country!

What to do?
