This scene made the priest stunned

The people of the Ming Kingdom did not shy away from him at all, and did it directly in front of him, making him feel that this should not be an important matter, but as the heat filled more and more, the pocket finally let people see its full form, it was a huge ball with a diameter of about twenty meters, and there were terrible patterns painted on it, and the hanging basket under this guy was also carrying a row of two propellers

The three tiger guards with little body, wearing only cloth clothes, entered the basket The area of the basket is not large, but the three people are still very convenient on it, and they do not seem to be tied, two of them are in the two corners of the hanging basket, and over there, each has a pair of feet, they can drive the propellers outside the hanging basket to rotate by pedaling, if they want to steer, as long as one of the propellers is suspended, then they can adjust the direction

Strictly speaking, this is not a hot air balloon, but a strange guy between a hot air balloon and an airship, Yu Guozhen had the idea of developing a hot air balloon in the early twelfth year of Chongzhen's battle in the east, and the manufacture of a hot air balloon is very simple, and it takes less than a month to create a finished product that can carry people into the sky, but Yu Guozhen is not satisfied with this, and summons craftsmen to brainstorm to add power to the hot air balloon, so that it can no longer only flutter with the wind

And so came the present thing

"Report to the bureau, the wind direction is westerly, the wind is low, the weather is clear, suitable for flying, please instruct"

One of the three tiger guards who entered the gondola measured the direction and wind with paper, and then said loudly

"Permission to take off" Luo Jiuhe waved his hand

"Oh my God, this is the evil magic of the devil," the priest muttered as he watched as the Ming people began to move items to the hanging basket, and after a while, they closed the hanging basket door, and the fire grew bigger, and then the Ming people around them untied the rope that had been used for fixation, and the behemoth slowly flew into the air

"One or two hours at sunrise every day, and one or two hours at sunset is the most suitable for this guy to fly" Luo Jiuhe said to Tian Boguang: "It's a pity that the wind is strong at sea, so it can't be deployed, otherwise you can use it just after attacking the fort."

"I don't know if it will work, I always feel a little mysterious, people fly on it......"

"That's natural, everyone knows you're afraid of heights haha, let's fly together next time?"

In their joke, the airboat rose higher and higher, about 300 meters into the air, and the two propellers began to turn, and they drove the airboat in the direction of the royal city of Manila

Although the diameter of this thing reaches twenty meters, its load capacity is actually very limited, at most one thousand catties, so the tiger guards who were selected to be selected on the hot air boat are all lightweight, and the combined weight of the three of them is only three hundred and twenty catties, plus the rattan basket, power and combustion, there are six hundred catties, and in order to ensure reliability, there is a surplus load of one hundred catties

When the steamboat flew up, it was seen in the Royal City of Manila, and the guy with the Oriental Wyvern with its teeth and claws painted on it made the Royal City of Manila scream, and when it slowly moved towards this side, the exclamation suddenly turned into a prayer

They were praying that God would send down a strong wind to blow away the devil that the Orientals had summoned - even if they didn't know what it was for, they knew that it had no bad intentions

But they could only watch as the airboat got closer and closer to the royal city of Manila, and the airboat was very slow, about fifteen miles per hour, which was not much faster than the ordinary person's walk, but the more this happened, the greater the pressure on the Spaniards in the royal city of Manila, and they watched this terrible creature slowly float above their heads, and saw that it no longer moved, stopped at the top, and then, a box fell from the sky

"Get out of the way, get out of the way"

Coqueira didn't know what was falling from the sky, but one thing was certain, it was definitely not a good thing, he roared loudly, and the Spaniards gathered on the wall to watch the excitement also reacted and dodged

"Fire, shoot at the sky"

Lieutenant Gonzalez ordered his men that if they could knock down the big guy in the air, then all fears would disappear, but at this time, the effective range of the musket was less than 100 meters, and the hot air boat floating in the air at a height of 300 meters was completely out of range, and all the shots were in vain

The box that fell slammed into the castle in Manila

With a loud bang, a box weighing about 30 catties **, when it exploded, the power was enough to tear apart all the living creatures within dozens of square meters

"It didn't blow up accurately, it's a pity that it moved about ten meters to the left"

The hot air boat saw the wolf at the scene of the explosion, and said the tiger guard who carried out the bombing mission

So the airboat began to turn slowly, this turn was very clumsy, the distance of ten meters, but it was adjusted for ten minutes, and ten minutes was enough time for all the Spaniards in the city to hide in the castle, so that when the tiger guards on the bombing mission looked down again, the castle walls were empty, and there was no one

The Spaniards were not worried about the Tiger Guards taking advantage of this opportunity to take the city, and there were still many shooting holes on the city walls, many of which were artillery shooting holes, and no matter where the Tiger Guards approached the city walls, they would face a rain of bullets

But Tiger Guard was not going to climb the wall like this, and at the bottom of the hanging basket, a baffle was lifted, revealing a large hole underneath, and then another large box was pushed over

This box is not thirty pounds, but a hundred pounds, if it is not for the use of rollers, it is really not easy to push it This big guy fell from the bottom of the hanging basket, it did not look very fast, and then fell into the inner side of the city wall, and the violent impact made the firing pin in it bounce, and the fuse was fired, and the fuse ignited the gunpowder

"Boom"

At first, the sound of the explosion was a little dull, and the people on the hot air boat did not feel it, but the people on the ground clearly felt that the earth was trembling violently, and the royal city of Manila, which looked as solid as a mountain, also shook with it, although it was only black powder, not the yellow powder that Xiang was developing, but the power of nearly 100 catties of explosion at the same time was enough to set off a huge mushroom cloud above the royal city of Manila

The rising air currents even stirred the steamboat, and it took a few minutes for the Tiger Guard on the steamboat to faintly see the results of his bombing

"Alas, it's gone off again"

Their purpose was to blow up the castle gate, but they missed a little, but they blew down the inner side of the city wall for more than ten meters, and the terrible thing was that the death storm set off by these flying rubble, and the Spaniards who shot in the bunkers of the city wall, at least nearly twenty, were smashed into thousands of holes in an instant, which was completely no different from a hornet's nest

"Ahh

The fire of death that fell from the sky frightened the Spaniards, and it was not safe for them to hide in the bunker, and this bunker could withstand the bombardment of twenty-four pounds of artillery shells, although the officers among them struggled to say something, but the sound just now made them unable to hear what they were saying, and some soldiers were directly shocked to death

"It's a mess of porridge, throw the palm thunder, but unfortunately, we only brought these**"

These two box bombs were the vast majority of the ammunition for the hot air boat, and all that remained was the palm mines carried by the three tiger guards, and after throwing all the palm mines at the Spaniards who ran out of the bunker, they were still unsatisfied, but they could only return

The damage caused by the first bombing of the Royal City of Manila by the hot air boat bombing was actually not very great, but the psychological shock to the guarding Spaniards was great in the face of this aerial monster that they could not hit and could not fly, except for praying to their evil god, the Spaniards had nothing to do After flying away for less than twenty minutes, the hot air boat came back again, and then another round of bombing

If it weren't for the timely fall of night, it is difficult to say whether the Spaniards would have collapsed, but the night saved them and tormented them, because after thinking about it for a night, neither Coqueilla nor the bishop could think of any good solution

The priest sent out never returned, which made the Spaniards in the royal city of Manila cut off the idea of negotiating a solutionWhen the morning came, they were very afraid that the terrible demon would appear overhead again, but fortunately, it seemed calm outside, and the Akito was busy preparing breakfast

"Gonzalez, you shit, don't dangle in front of us" Seeing the fat Lieutenant Gonzalez, Coqueira was angry, if this guy had run faster and they had held the battery, maybe they wouldn't have fallen into the current situation

"Your Excellency, I have remembered something...... You know, I once worked as a groom for a noble man, and I heard him say that there was a Frenchman named Nostradamus, who seemed to prophesy that when the end of the world came, the terrible Great Demon King would fall from the sky...... The one summoned by the Ming people will be the terrifying Great Demon King, and will the end of the world come? ”

"Fool, Gonzalez, if you mention these stupid words to me again, I will kick you to the year 2012" Coqueira was extremely angry, but Gonzalez's words were heard by the soldiers, and it was a heavy blow to morale The Spanish soldiers at this time, although they were well-trained, but most of them were illiterate from the bottom, and they believed in all kinds of mysticism

Before he could stop scolding, he heard an exclamation, and Coquela hurried to the city, where he saw the terrible devil of the air rising with the sun

"Have you forsaken us, O God?" At this time, Coqueira also trembled

"What are we going to do to get that damn devil away, archbishop, do you have any way?" A businessman asked the Archbishop of the Diocese of Manila

"The bullets of the musket can't reach it," the ordinary soldier groaned in despair

No matter what the Spaniards in the city thought, the hot air boats slowly approached, and to the despair of the Spaniards, this time there was not one, but three

Not only did yesterday's one come, but the other two spare airships also came, and this is all the airships Xiang has built so far (to be continued)
