When the artillery fire of Bohai Bay, which was close to Tianjin Mansion, was rumbling, in the southeast of Tianjin Mansion, the 100,000 army led by Yang Lin was also gathering towards Tianjin Mansion, constantly approaching, and penetrating deep into the hinterland. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Lin rode on horseback, located in front of the team, walking slowly, Baili River and Asheng were located on both sides.

Looking at the cavalry moving quickly in front of him, and the vigilance of the surrounding guard platoons, as if facing a great enemy, Yang Lin treated it indifferently, believed in the reins, and asked softly: "Ah Sheng, how are those weapons?" Has it arrived? ”

"Report to the marshal, before sending the letter to Commander Chao and Commander Huo with carrier pigeons, the Fengyun special combat team has already moved, and the troops are divided into two ways to escort the batch of new weapons to Baoding Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, if there is no accident, it should arrive today."

Regarding Ah Sheng's answer, Yang Lin just nodded, and did not continue to speak, but Baili He was confused, and he didn't know what the two of them were referring to when they said about the new weapon?

I was speculating in my heart, and suddenly, Bailihe couldn't help but move in my heart, could it be ......

The stars shift, the sunset and the moon rise, the winter night is so silent, and it is so cold and biting, this night, on the hillside five miles southwest of Baoding Prefecture, the whistling wind whimpered, the trees rattled, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared, a voice sounded, echoing on the silent hillside.

"Hey, I don't know if these weapons are really like what those people said, they can really bring people into the air and fly above Baoding City?"

"Not to mention, my heart is not very bottom, how can I bring so many people with this small oval thing? Let's talk about a boat, it's not like a boat, and it can't be a big kite, this thing is really a bit mysterious~"

"Don't talk about it, those technicians and the people in charge of controlling the new weapons are here, when the time comes, after they come, don't shout nonsense, the marshal attaches great importance to these people, and specially let the wind team escort them, the people inside are very high-level, and the most inferior ones are also at the second lieutenant level, so be careful when you speak."

As soon as the words fell, the group of black shadows became honest and stopped complaining, and at the same time, a sparse footsteps sounded, and soon, a group of people appeared in everyone's sight, and then, stopped on the side of the hillside.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared, illuminating a radius of two meters, it was the oil lamp with a glass cover, and then, a figure flickered, walking quickly, and immediately a thing five or six meters long appeared, without any stop, a person stepped forward, and immediately inserted a conduit into it.

Soon, the deflated thing five or six meters long was like an inflatable thing, quickly swelling up, getting bigger and bigger, dragging on and slowing down, slowly rising into the air, being pulled by four ropes, and suspended there.

Not only that, but other people also began to move, busy one after another, doing the same thing, the movements are very skillful and tacit, smooth and natural, although it is under the black light, it is still so neat, as if I don't know how many times I have rehearsed.

In just ten minutes, one airship after another appeared in front of everyone's eyes, if it wasn't for the four ropes tethered, they would have floated into the sky and couldn't be controlled.

One by one, the soldiers appeared, standing next to the airship, ready to act at any time, waiting for only one command.

In the faint light, you can see that the first soldier who complains incessantly looks at all this dumbly, as if he has seen a ghost, and it is hard to believe. Soon, some people reacted, and many of them knew some science, after all, there were still people who knew some physics from Yang Lin's training.

"I know, this balloon-like thing, it must be filled with hydrogen, as long as the total weight of the personnel does not exceed the load, it can completely bring some people into the air, plus some operations, it is not impossible to fly to the sky above Baoding City."

As a soldier guessed, he blurted out, and suddenly, a professional who was assembling the airship looked over, and in the haze, a faint smile appeared, and the movements in his hands continued, and he said at the same time: "Hehe, I didn't expect that there are still people among you who understand and know the basic principles of this airship." ”

"Yes, this airship is indeed filled with hydrogen, and if you release the four ropes, you can fly into the sky. However, it is not so simple to manipulate it, and you must be able to grasp the balance at all times. Otherwise, once you don't grasp it well and can't control it, you will drift away with the wind at best, and your life will be lost! ”

At this moment, when curiosity drove those soldiers to ask something more, one of the team leaders shouted: "Xiao Wu, where did you get so much nonsense?" Move faster, and there are still a lot of airships waiting to be assembled in the back. ”

As the airships were assembled and the hydrogen was flushed, a muffled command sounded: "Action!" ”

A soldier entered, each with a submachine gun, and nothing but three cartridges, alone, capable and sharp.

Soon, the ropes were released, and then, the airship broke free from the shackles and flew quickly into the air, as the altitude became higher and higher, the speed became slower and slower, until it reached a height, it no longer rose, but began to move horizontally, towards Baoding City, in the dark, silently, these airships were like ghosts, slowly gone, slowly approaching Baoding City.

At this time, the moon has long disappeared, the stars are hidden by dark clouds, and the city of Baoding in the distance is like a lighthouse in the sea, illuminating the direction of the airship.

I don't know when, the south gate and the west gate of Baoding City, the sky within five miles is full of airships, as many as hundreds of whooshs, in the silent night, in the wind whistling, the airships came to the sky above Baoding City, and the city defense army of the Qing court was unaware, although those soldiers tried to widen their eyes, resisting the drowsiness, not afraid of the cold wind, how did they not think that their threat would come from the sky.

Two miles away from the city gates, the black figures swayed, and the darkness of the night made the figures of these people well covered and not discovered, and because of this, these people walked very slowly, the footsteps were inaudible, and the strong wind made their movements more smooth.

Two hundred meters away, these people stopped their pace, several teams began to crawl forward, silently, and finally stopped a hundred meters away from the city gate, and there was no more to enter, because, at a distance of 100 meters inside and outside the city gate, a lantern was hung high, although the city gate was not illuminated extremely brightly, but the Qing soldiers on the city gate could also see the general outline of things within 100 meters.

Therefore, the army led by Chao Sheng and Xue Kaiqi stopped at the same time, not far from the west gate and south gate of Baoding City, respectively, and could only lie on a hundred meters recently.

Not only that, the east gate and north gate of Baoding City also have the Qilin Army, led by Guo San and the monkey respectively, the difference is that there is no airship in the sky above the east gate and the north gate, because, the east wind hunting, is not conducive to the stay and lift of the airship.

Obviously, the task of the two was to ambush, beat the water dogs, and annihilate the escaped Qing soldiers.

With the passage of time, the three-way army was gradually prepared, and the men and horses in the rear had entered the relative position, at this moment, just waiting for a signal, the army of the south gate and the west gate would launch an attack and take the two city gates.

In Baoding City, there was silence, groups of Qing soldiers were patrolling, wandering on the streets, the defense was extremely tight, the curfew policy was never strictly and thoroughly, and no one dared to walk on the streets at night.

In the darkness, a group of more than a dozen soldiers was patrolling, and at this moment, suddenly, a swish, a cold arrow appeared, cutting through the night and the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it instantly disappeared into the throat of the soldier.

Bang bang bang!

The muffled sound of falling to the ground again and again, as the arrows shot into the throats of the soldiers, these Qing court soldiers had already turned into a corpse and fell heavily to the ground before they could struggle and call for help.

In an instant, in the darkness, more than a dozen figures sprang out from the hidden alley on one side, and in the blink of an eye, they immediately dragged the dead soldiers into the alley, and the cold arrows were inserted into the throats of the soldiers, which was very good at preventing the blood from spurting out, only a little blood flowed to the necks of those soldiers.

The black shadow's movements were fast and crisp, and before the blood of the soldiers could be left on the ground, they had already dragged the corpse into the alley, and everything was so silent and happened in an instant.

Soon, there was a rustling of clothes in the alley, followed by a whisper: "Okay, release the Kong Ming lantern and tell Commander Chao and the rest of the team that our operation here has been successful." ”

A dark red Kong Ming lantern quickly rose and floated into the air, and the voice sounded again: "Action!" ”

A "patrol team" dressed in the Qing army appeared, marching neatly towards the south gate, and soon after, the same dark red lanterns floated in Baoding City, all over the place, mainly concentrated near the four city gates.

At the same time, in the southeast direction of Baoding City, on the small hillside, a figure watched all this, without any hesitation, and then ordered: "Release the signal, act!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red lantern floated on one side, which looked so dazzling and eye-catching.

From the first dark red hole lantern floated up and flew into the air, and then the bright red lantern appeared, with an interval of less than five minutes, at this time, Liu Yong just came out of the study, and when he saw this scene, he was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It's not good!" ”

However, it was too late, even when Liu realized that the situation was not good.

At this time, above the south gate and the west gate of Baoding City, especially above the city gate wall, in the dark, ropes fell, and then, one by one, the soldiers slid down, the speed was extremely fast, a few breaths of time, it was less than two meters away from the city gate wall.

Immediately afterwards, a move jumped, rolled over, and landed on the city wall, all of which were done in one go, taking place in a few breaths, and the Qing soldiers guarding the door had just realized that something was wrong, and when they raised their bird guns and long knives to attack, the Qilin soldiers who fell to the ground had already pulled the trigger.

Da Da...

All this came so suddenly, as if a divine soldier descended from the sky, and the Qing court city defense battalion was caught off guard, a little confused, and frightened, however, the soldiers of the Qilin Army did not stop strafing, and pulled the trigger in their hands to vent the bullets in the submachine guns.

Soon, whether it was the Qing court soldiers on the city wall, the bright and dark sentry ambushed near the city gate, or the patrol members, they reacted and began to pull the bird gun in their hands and shoot the sudden enemy.

Bang bang...

Compared with the weapons of the Qilin soldiers, the bird gun in the hands of the Qing court was a burning stick, and at the beginning, the Qing court soldiers on the city wall and near the city gate swept away a large area, and the casualties were very heavy!

Da Da...

The Qilin soldiers on the airship are still landing, and in less than ten minutes, the control of the city wall has fallen into the hands of the Qilin soldiers, and the powerful firepower makes the surrounding Qing soldiers unable to raise their heads, and they can't organize an effective counterattack, only those hidden sentinels in the shadows still have the power to resist, and they can shoot the soldiers of the Qilin Army.

Da Da...

Bang bang...

The secret posts of the Qing army defending the city and the soldiers of the Qilin Army were shooting at each other, and the soldiers who were hiding took refuge under the rock mass and began an effective counterattack, shooting the soldiers of the Qilin Army.

The soldiers of the city defense battalion were not fools, although they were blinded at first, but looking at the endless stream of enemies from the sky, although they didn't know why the enemy was able to fall from the sky, they also realized that the problem was in the sky, and when they saw that the firearms were not as good as the other party, someone immediately shouted: "Don't care about the thieves on the city wall first, all aim the birds at the sky!" ”

Bang bang...

Da Da...

Let the bullets of the submachine gun hit the surroundings, shoot and kill your comrades, whether it is a secret sentry or a soldier in hiding, all aim their guns at the sky, and shoot blindly!

Bang bang...

Obviously, the sudden sound was very insightful, and it immediately had an effect, one by one the soldiers of the Qilin Army fell from the sky, and not only that, but the airship was also tragically damaged, and it was knocked out of breath and fell down.

Seeing this situation, although I don't know what the behemoth that fell down is, but seeing the thieves either fall to death or fall into serious injuries, those secret sentinels, or the Qing court soldiers who are hiding are excited, and they can't help but secretly rejoice, and move more quickly, and the birds shoot into the sky, shooting constantly.

However, the guns in their hands are all birds, and the craftsmanship is still stuck in the pre-Ming period, so the efficiency is very poor, resulting in their results are not ideal, although they have found effective targets.

After all, the old-fashioned bird guns not only cannot fire in bursts, but also often jams, dumb chambers, and must be reloaded after one shot.

Therefore, even if the airship in the sky saw that the situation was not good, it had already dodged far away and landed from other places, although the number of Qilin soldiers on the city wall was not superior, but the advantage of strong firepower still occupied the initiative, and gradually some people went down the city wall and prepared to open the city gate.

At this time, the large force of the Qilin Army one or two hundred meters away had already taken action, ran quickly, and came to the foot of the city wall, but although the weapons of the city defense battalion were inferior, there were many people, and the number of birds was very large, and the soldiers of the Qilin Army on the city wall could not get close to the city gate at all, let alone open the city gate.

Such a situation, as if having some kind of tacit understanding, occurred successively in the west and south gates of Baoding City, between the two times, the two armies were deadlocked with each other, and the battle was particularly tragic.

The city gate could not be opened, the Qilin army could not enter the city in a big way, and could not form a strong advantage to crush the Qing army's city defense camp, and hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked outside Baoding City.

In a matter of seconds, the situation in the city may change, how can a living person suffocate urine, and some of the soldiers of the Qilin Army who climbed the city wall also thought of an idea, and immediately picked up the rope dropped by the flying boat, fixed it, and threw it down the city wall, so that those Qilin Army special forces could climb.

As the number of Qilin soldiers on the city wall increased, the firepower became more and more fierce, and the support troops of the city defense battalion were also approaching, getting closer and closer.
