Chapter 323: Heavenly Thunder

When the first battle was quickly defeated, Jiang Xujing had already sent a herald to inform them, trying to speed up the march again, and when they arrived, they would go directly to the battlefield...... And now, they still have half an hour to go, a little bit of a journey. During this journey, they could already smell the burning, bloody smell of the battlefield that drifted in the wind.

"Sigui, I'll lead the cavalry first. …… The situation on the big marshal's side is too critical. Finally ran into the second herald from Jiang Xujing urging them forward, the two of them bumped their heads, and Jia Qingyun proposed.

Ni Sigui thought about it seriously and said, "Okay, that's it." The sooner you get to the battlefield, the sooner you can use your strength. ”

And at this time, a few black dots appeared in the sky, and they came flutteringly.

"What's that?" Jia Qingyun looked at the air a little strangely. The airship did not fly very high, and the entire outline of the airship could be clearly seen on the ground, and people could be seen moving in the gondola on the airship. And when Jia Qingyun picked up the telescope and took the entire airship into his eyes, he could even see the excited expressions of the crew on the airship.

"It's not good, it's the army of Yunzhou." Ni Sigui has already reacted.

But just like in any time and space, when faced with this threat from the sky for the first time, people's first reaction is not to say: it turns out that people can fly or it is too amazing, but a kind of excitement and panic that wants to worship, want to pray, want to meet with the gods. And the fire oil bombs that fell from the sky made this panic directly turn into fear......

Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun originally only cared about the speed of the march. They set off from the barracks on the Guiyuan side, and just lined up and walked in a row. Naturally, they in this time and space will not know what air defense is for the time being.

Although the sights were really difficult to use, the fire oil bombs still exploded in the densest places of the crowd. And just as the first batch of fire oil bombs fell, the huge lineup of tens of thousands of people became chaotic. The noise of people and horses is naturally not a problem, and many sergeants even threw away the weapons in their hands and hugged their heads, some hid under the carriage, holding their heads tightly with both hands, hoping to be able to put their heads into the land, and some jumped directly into the fields on the edge of the continent and rolled in the mud...... Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun didn't understand what was going on, and they didn't issue any clear orders, let alone those ordinary soldiers who were far less knowledgeable and experienced than them, and were more likely to be knocked down by this terrifying scene. The casualties of the stampede were far greater than those of the burns of the oil bombs...... After all, in the final analysis, the current airship, which was born out of the "tomb robbery maze", has a very limited loading capacity.

"Don't panic, don't panic......" Finally, Jia Qingyun relented and ran away in the team with a few personal guards, shouting morale-boosting words while waking up the soldiers who had fallen into chaos with a whip. Ni Sigui also hurriedly sent out his own soldiers to help the officers calm down the current chaos. Groups of sergeants, led by the officers, went into the woods on both sides of the road, or ran towards the open area. They ran into the farmland and ran to the open space in front of the village house not far away to dry all kinds of debris. The scattered sergeants let the airship troops attacking in the air some of them not know what to do. But the crew of the airship could only praise it, Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun's reaction was really fast enough, and they had already discovered the key to dodging air attacks so quickly. But at this moment, the airship team didn't want to give up just like that, even if the number of fire oil bombs they loaded was very small, and there was not much left after a few rounds of dropping.

After a flurry of exchange of flags and trumpets with each other, the airship team lowered its altitude and skimmed over the Xiling army. One by one, the fire oil bombs were dropped more accurately in the crowd. The Xiling army has already begun to fight back, throwing guns can not reach the height of the airship in any case, but some archers and generals with amazing strength can pull out strong bows to counterattack. And every time this kind of attack occurs, in addition to posing a slight threat to the airship team, it also gives a hint of the location of those important people. Small ballistas and crossbows mounted on airships begin to exert their power. Shoot at the ground from a high altitude for more power. However, the arrows fired from the ground barely reached the height of the airship several times, and some even touched the hull of the airship, but they were unable to cause further damage. What was even more demoralizing was that one of the airship crew members actually grabbed an arrow that was flying outside the airship gondola and had almost no speed, brandishing the arrow and smiling. This situation made the Xiling soldiers desperate even more.

Finally, Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun, who were trying to reorganize the team, were identified in a mess of ground activities, and after another burst of contact with each other's flags and light boxes, the five airships broke out of the team, lined up in a plum blossom shape, and swooped down at an accelerated pace, and when they swept over the heads of the two commanders, they began to drop bombs intensively together, instantly turning the entire small open space into a sea of fire.

"General!" The surrounding sergeants hurriedly rushed forward to rescue the two generals, but in the chaos, there were endless screams and wails, and the burning and explosion caused a large number of military horses to flee in all directions, coupled with the billowing black smoke, it was impossible to even find out what was going on quickly.

At this time, the rest of the airships also completed their turning, and seeing that Sergeant Xiling began to dense here, the airships were divided into two rows, front and rear, and another round of intensive bombardment came. After the current practice, the members of the airship finally understand that it is not necessarily that the simple airspeed sight is not easy to use. If there is no wind at all, when it hovers in the air, this thing is actually quite accurate, but the more complicated the situation, the more uncontrollable the bomb is thrown...... Or, according to the saying that the upper echelons of Yunzhou have become popular, see if the character is strong. The so-called "covering" attack, which was only briefly explained during training and was tested once, may be the best way to ensure the elimination of certain important targets. It doesn't work twice, and it doesn't work twice...... The first generation of aviation troops in this time and space had great confidence in this.

After two rounds of covering attacks, the airship returned to its original height, shuttling back and forth, bombing, and reluctantly leaving until all the fire oil bombs were used up. Their attack lasted less than fifteen minutes in total, and it was because the airship team itself was not skilled in the formation adjustment and identification of targets in battle...... But they not only completely disrupted Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun's plan to arrive at the battlefield in time, but also brought an indelible psychological shadow to this soldier. What is that? No one on Xiling's side could answer this question. Even the most knowledgeable and senior generals, sergeants, and non-commissioned officers could not speak of it, and rumors and panic spread throughout the army. …… It was a mechanism created by Ye Tao with the help of the power of the gods, it was a monster that could not be matched by manpower, and it was a legendary divine bird...... When there is no one who can explain why humans are able to fly, it becomes inevitable with the help of a mysterious and vast mythological system.

Ni Sigui was killed. Jia Qingyun had extensive burns on his body, and he broke his right hand when he fell from his horse...... This is an even more deadly and frustrating situation for this army. Jia Qingyun was a little confused, and he hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and although the military doctor had simple medicine to treat burns and burns, it couldn't make Jia Qingyun relieve the pain on his body a little.

"Song Libo, Hang Mingchang! The two of you immediately gathered your troops, leaving a small detachment to take care of the seriously wounded on the spot, and the rest of the troops immediately continued their march. Tang Yu, you led the cavalry of the front army to speed up immediately, sent scouts to explain the situation to the commander, and ordered you to arrive within forty minutes. ......" endured the pain, Jia Qingyun issued a series of orders in a row, but at this moment he also knew that it was okay for them to gather an army now and make up an elite army of less than 10,000 people to continue marching to the battlefield, but if the whole army arrived at the battlefield on time, it was not to even think about it. It would take a lot of time just to get all the sergeants back on the road, and to resume the intense and efficient march just now. And these frightened soldiers can't fight on the battlefield. It is very likely that if you run into the other party and throw some fire oil and pop it up, it will collapse...... How many years has he been a general, and how many soldiers has he seen knocked down with great fear like that?

However, even if a small army can rush to the battlefield and continue to fight bravely after experiencing the baptism of "thunder and fire", it will play an important role in whether it is a battlefield that is stuck in a stalemate at the moment, or for the tens of thousands of sergeants who will be a little complicated now. And now, the more serious problem is that he is not sure that he has a complete grasp of Ni Sigui's department.

Jia Qingyun tried hard to support his body, looking at the corpse of Ni Sigui who was surrounded by his subordinates, and the old tears were full of tears. He and Ni Sigui are called Jiang Xujing's two arms, and over the years, they have fought together many times. For the sake of going out and staying behind, for the sake of forcible attack or skillful, for the distribution of spoils, and for the treatment of the sergeants, they don't know how many fights they have had, but it is undeniable that the two of them do cooperate tacitly on the battlefield. Even now, the communication ability of the Xiling military is not as good as that of Dongping, and the generals who can sometimes rely on each other on the battlefield understand and tacit understanding each other. And now, Ni Sigui has gone......

Several confidants under Ni Sigui's command saw Jia Qingyun and saw his expression, stepped forward on their knees, and cried loudly: "General Jia, you want to avenge the general." ”

Jia Qingyun tried to raise his left hand, put it on the shoulder of a general, and said, "Don't worry. Gather your ranks, and we will take revenge. ”
