The war continues. But this time, the place of the battle was changed to heaven.

The ground war between Qi and Yan entered a state of non-end. It will be difficult for both sides to make a breakthrough. And at this time. Airships and hot air balloons appeared in the sky. The people of Qi are very imaginative to put the breakthrough point in the sky. They were going to attack the Yan army by surprise.

The Qi Air Force can be said to have spent a lot of thought. They soon realized the inadequacy of hot air balloons. There is no motivation. You can only rely on the natural wind to carry out random drifting battles. This point at once makes the hot air balloon seem of little use.

But the turnaround came. A craftsman suggests. Why not slide the hot air balloon like a boat. The idea was quickly implemented. They experimented with large, enlarged oars. Although the speed is not only satisfactory. But the intended purpose was achieved. Meantime. Qi people gave full play to their imagination. They installed two smaller sails for the hot air balloon. So. The hot air balloon initially has a certain amount of mobility. But this time. The consciousness of air supremacy has not yet been realized. But the Qin army possessed a certain awareness

The Qin army's airships did not have aerial bombs, and their bombs would take several days to arrive. And they need to do target determination. The target is set at the village camp in the rear of the enemy.

An airship entered the rear of the Qi army at an altitude of eight hundred paces. The Qin army flight personnel took pictures of the ground very leisurely. And the Qi troops on the ground stood up one after another and shouted loudly.

"Come down. Bring it down to grandpa. The Qi soldiers shouted and cursed.

The reconnaissance activities of the Qin army became more and more frequent. The officers had already guessed that the Qin army was very likely to bomb the rear. This fear of insecurity in the sky prompted the Qi Air Force to take to the skies.

The airship is still very laid-back. Pilots have the appearance of waving hands. They respond to each other in this way. It was at this time. A pilot shouted.

"There are three hot air balloons in the lower left." The pilot shouted. Everyone looks at the situation. The airship's leisurely aerial reconnaissance every day has long dissatisfied the Qi Air Force. Thereupon. They reacted immediately. That is to send out a hot air balloon to fight back.

The Qi Air Force has only five hot air balloons. It was arranged in a place frequented by the Qin army. At the same time, a large number of personnel were also sent on the ground to observe. It was then notified to take off into the air.

The hot air balloon has three people to control. The weapons were long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, muskets, etc. The Qin army did not carry any weapons due to the bombing.

"Elevated point. We attack them from above. Hurry up and get close to them. Hurry," the Qi pilot shouted. Three hot air balloons slowly rise closer.

"What are we going to do. They're flying towards us. The pilot shouted. This was the first air encounter.

"What to do? Shoot them down. The driver gave the order. Usually the airship is piloted by the captain of the airship. They are responsible for the specific mission of the airship.

"We don't have weapons?" The co-pilot said.

"With a wrench, with a screwdriver. We're going to fly to a higher position and fight. The Captain of the airship gave the order.

So, the airship quickly avoided pulling up. Fly above the hot air balloon.

And the hot air balloon of Qi is slow to take off. The main thing is that they did not speed up the burning tools. In particular, oxygen devices are provided. Whereas, airships have an internal combustion engine as a mechanical propulsion device. At the same time they are hydrogen. Control the air chamber to reach a certain flight altitude.

Apparently. Airships occupy a great technical advantage. That's what makes it a big deal. All of a sudden, the Qi Air Force realized the huge gap. So they switched from offense to defense. Start avoiding airships.

"Damn. Hit. Hit. "The soldiers on the ground are coming in for energy. They saw signs of fighting in heaven. This gives a new perspective to the boring life of the trenches.

"Smash them with a wrench. Hurry up. The captain gave the order.

The speed of the airship is much faster than that of a hot air balloon?. After all, people are machine-driven. And you are human. When the airship catches up with the hot air balloon, it smashes the opponent with a wrench. But after losing a whole bunch of tools. Hot air balloon is fine. Instead, the bow and arrow fired by the hot air balloon almost missed. This made Qin Guotianjun feel very embarrassed all of a sudden. So after catching the hot air balloon a few times, I threw everything I could. Can. Boots. I almost threw myself out. Helpless. There was no loss of hot air balloons. The airship also felt helpless. Obviously have the advantage. But it can't be shot down.

"Damn. I could have shot down the other side. The captain called out dissatisfied. If you shoot down the opponent. Then he will be the first person to shoot down the opposing side in air combat. But now.

"Let's go back," the captain reluctantly ordered.

So the Qin army was the first to break away from the battle. And the Qi army saw the other side retreating. Think of a great victory. Although it is his own side that has been beaten. But after all, it was the other party who took the initiative to retreat. Thereupon. The ground cheers victory. This means: The sky is not in the situation where the Qin army dominates the world.

The hot air balloon also began to detach from the combat landing, taking into account the fuel. And so the first air battle ended. But the battle is far from over. And this battle. Both sides attach great importance to it. Thereupon. Air warfare became the second battlefield after the ground war. Both sides are pinning their hopes in the air.

The Qin army realized the serious consequences of the airship not being armed. Thereupon. They borrowed some guns and ammunition from the Yan army. Artillery because of the weight. The reason for the launch can not be used. So. The Qin army had no choice but to use guns as weapons.

The Qi army, on the other hand, made a breakthrough in artillery research. Wooden artillery. Craftsmen carefully studied the construction of the artillery. Although manufactured iron, bronze artillery weighed a lot. The state of Qin had already used pressure to advance compression casting. And Qi still didn't find this problem. The weight is significant. Hot air balloons have a very limited payload.

In this case. Qi craftsmen thought of using wood. They make wooden cannons like wooden barrels. The results of the experiment were. In reducing the amount of charge. As well as in the case of reducing the number of launches by a certain amount. Good use. And since it is wood. So the weight is lightweight. Easy to manufacture. So this wooden artillery began to be equipped with air force units. Hopefully they will shoot each other down in the next battle.

The Qi Air Force upgraded the weapon directly to the artillery stage. And that's not all. The size of the Qi Air Force began to increase rapidly. They sped up the manufacture of hot air balloons. The average woman of fifty people will have two hot air balloons in one night. Thereupon. A large number of women were recruited to make airbags.

Qi people began to increase the import of cloth and kerosene. The scale of air combat began to escalate. And the Qin Heavenly Army finally looked forward to their aerial bombs. They decided to teach them a good lesson. Give them a taste of the power of the bomb.
