"General Huyan, are you really willing to personally lead your troops to board the hot air balloon?" Inside the tent, Yang Huaiyu said with a serious face, all the generals above the commander in the army are also here, and now they are all staring at Hu Yanqing who stood up.

"The end will be wished! Suesho has been trained to fly in hot air balloons, and he has actual combat experience, so Suesho thinks that no one is better suited to complete this task than me! Hu Yanqing clasped his hands into fists and said with a serious face.

Seeing Hu Yanqing's attitude so resolute, although Yang Huaiyu didn't want his most optimistic student to take risks, he couldn't refuse anymore, after all, there was indeed no one in the entire army who was more suitable than Hu Yanqing, so in the end he had to nod and say: "Okay, then this mission will be handed over to you, but you must maintain your height, and you must not take risks!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Hu Yanqing said loudly again, with an excited look on his face, the attack during this time was blocked, and the core pass of Gubeikou has not been able to take it, and now he finally has a chance to break this deadlock, he naturally wants to try it himself.

With Yang Huaiyu's order, the Great Song Dynasty army immediately took action, and one after another hot air balloons were transported to the open space in front of the barracks, and then some things were sent to the hot air balloons one after another, and finally Hu Yanqing also personally boarded a hot air balloon, with his order, the hot air balloons divided into three batches rose into the air one after another, and the entire sky was covered for a while.

The generals on the ground also raised their heads to look at the hot air balloon that rose into the air, and at this time, Zhao Zongwu in the crowd suddenly squeezed to Yang Huaiyu's side, and then said in a low voice: "Chief, Brother Qing is a rare handsome talent, and he may become the pillar of my army in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, how can you be willing to let such an important person take risks?" ”

Hearing Zhao Zongwu's words, Yang Huaiyu glared at him and said, "You didn't see the situation just now. Brother Qing has to go in person, if I stop it, I will definitely let others say that I am biased, and there is indeed no more suitable person than him in the army, but this matter is still a bad idea that you kid thinks, why do you blame me now? ”

"Hey, hey. I just proposed to pollute the water source of Huya Peak, but I didn't say that Brother Qing would go there himself! Zhao Zongwu heard Yang Huaiyu's last words, and said cheekily, he is a staff officer in the army, mainly responsible for analyzing and summarizing the battle situation, looking for loopholes on the enemy's side, this time it was he who found the loopholes on Huya Peak, which made the implementation of today's plan.

With the launch of the hot air balloon, Hu Yanqing obviously felt that the blood on his body was slowly recovering. It seems to have returned to the time when they attacked Xingqing Mansion again, the distance and wind direction when they took off were specially calculated, and when the hot air balloon flew to a certain height, it happened to be a short distance from the top of Huya Peak, which allowed them to adjust the altitude.

For the act of releasing hot air balloons in the Great Song Army, both the Liao army on the top of the mountain and the Liao army in the pass have already discovered it, and for a time these Liao troops have also launched strong crossbows under the command of generals, and then pulled the crossbow strings and put on arrows. And ignite for backup, after all, they have all studied hot air balloons. Knowing that although this thing flies high, it is made of cloth, and it only takes a rocket to shoot the opponent out of the air.

As the wind blows, the Liao army on Huya Peak finds that the hot air balloon is actually floating above his head, which makes the Liao army general on the peak immediately order the whole army to prepare, just wait for the hot air balloon to land and give the opponent a fatal blow. However, what made them helpless was that Song Jun's hot air balloon flew very high, and their crossbow arrows could not be shot at all.

Hu Yanqing, who was in the hot air balloon, held a telescope and looked at the situation on Huya Peak, only to see that although this peak was steep, there was a flat land on the top of the mountain. And the area is not small, along the edge of this flat land built a walled city, the barracks in the walled city layout is very strong, through the houses can roughly guess that there are more than 2,000 Liao troops stationed on the top of this mountain.

"According to the information obtained by the general manager, there are a total of 2,500 defenders on the entire Huya Peak, although the number is not large, but it occupies this natural danger, even if 100,000 people come, it is difficult to take it, but there is a loophole here that is not a loophole!" When Hu Yanqing said this, his eyes finally saw the northeast direction of the top of the mountain through the telescope, where a stone wall was standing, and in front of the stone wall there was a small small lake, which was the only water source on Huya Peak, and the Liao army on the top of the mountain usually drew water from here.

"This is it, the Liao army on Huya Peak is also a hundred secrets, since we know that we have a hot air balloon, but only to prevent us from taking a hot air balloon to the top of the mountain, but I didn't expect that we can do something else with the help of a hot air balloon!" When Hu Yanqing saw the small lake, he couldn't help but show a sneer on his face and said to himself, his mission this time is to poison this small lake on the top of the mountain to pollute the only water source on Huya Peak, as long as there is no water, when they don't need to attack, the defenders on Huya Peak will be thirsty to death.

In fact, it is not to blame the negligence of the defenders on Huya Peak, originally according to common sense, the water source is inside their walled city, and the only way up the mountain is also heavily guarded by them, plus the area of the small lake is not small, even if there are spies from the Great Song Dynasty mixed in, it is useless to throw a bag or two of poison, but unfortunately they forgot that the hot air balloon can not only be loaded with soldiers to raid, but also to throw things down.

This time, Yang Huaiyu organized a total of 200 hot air balloons, each hot air balloon was loaded with only two people, and the rest of the space was loaded with various pollutants, such as bags of arsenic, dead dogs, dead chickens, human urine and feces, etc., anyway, almost all of them that could be found were loaded, and these things did not need to be thrown into the small lake, only one-tenth of them needed to be thrown in, and the lake water would be completely stinky, and it could no longer be drunk.

After a while, Yang Huaiyu's hot air balloon flew to the sky above Huya Peak, although the Liao army above knew that it could not be shot, but still ordered the crossbow arrow to be launched, in order to warn the other party, but unfortunately the powerful crossbow arrow did not even reach the bottom basket of the hot air balloon and fell, but accidentally injured some Liao troops.

Seeing this situation, Hu Yanqing immediately ordered: "Drop the altitude a little more, and you will soon reach the sky above the target, ready to launch!" ”

With Hu Yanqing's order, the flag bearer next to him immediately waved the small red flag in his hand to convey the order, this kind of flag language is still learned from the sailor, of course, they cannot learn it completely in a short time, and before taking off, a few flag language hand styles were agreed, such as the two red flags of the flag bearer taking turns to dance downward is the order to descend.

With the issuance of Hu Yanqing's order, the hot air balloons that received the order around also conveyed the order, and then the hot air balloon began to descend slowly, which made the Liao army below shoot the crossbow arrows even harder, for fear that the Song army above their heads would fall, but in this way, the endless arrows just provided a height standard for Hu Yanqing and them, and when they were about to enter the range of the crossbow arrows, Hu Yanqing immediately ordered to stop descending, but there were still a few hot air balloons that fell too fast, and they were shot by the rockets below, All of a sudden, it turned into a big torch in the air, and the soldiers on it were also on fire, and the screams resounded in the sky, even if some of the soldiers were not lit, but the hot air balloon on fire had begun to fall rapidly, and the chance of survival was very small.

Seeing this situation, the Liao army below was cheering, but Hu Yanqing and the others above were all frightened, after all, no matter how capable they were on land, but they couldn't do it in the air at all, only a rocket was needed to ignite the hot air balloon, and no matter who it was, it would be difficult to escape death, and it was precisely because of this that Hu Yanqing ordered people to rise a distance again, so as not to be shot down by the rockets below.

The Liao army below was even happier for a while when they saw the hot air balloon rising again, and even many people raised their heads and shouted for the Song army to come down, don't shrink into the sky and be cowards. It's a pity that they couldn't laugh soon, because Hu Yanqing they had reached the sky above the small lake, Hu Yanqing first ordered a few hot air balloons around to try to drop down, because the speed of the hot air balloon is very slow, and today's wind is also very small, so the accuracy of the release is very high, half of the first batch of things to be dropped into the lake, this time Hu Yanqing immediately ordered all the drops, as a result, the sky was like rain for a while, bags of poison, dead bodies, etc. were all thrown into the lake, splashing white waves.

"Bastard! Fast...... Hurry up and salvage in the lake! Seeing this, the generals of the Liao army below finally understood what the Song army was going to do, and immediately jumped up in fright, and then ran to the lake with people with kicks and scolding, and jumped down desperately to salvage the things put by the Song army, hoping to salvage it as soon as possible and reduce the pollution of the lake.

However, the Great Song Dynasty has long been prepared, the bag containing the poison was torn open before it was thrown down, and it had been dissolved into the water after entering the water, as for those dead dogs, dead chickens and even dead people, they were all tied to big stones, and they sank to the bottom when they fell into the water, not to mention human urine and feces, and they were poured down directly with a bucket, and for a time the whole small lake was stinky, not to mention drinking, and even people couldn't stand by the lake, and a clean and bright small lake became a stinky lake in the blink of an eye.

"It's over~" The guards of the Liao army saw this, and were stunned by the lake for a moment, although there was a large amount of grain stored in the warehouse on the top of the mountain, but no one had any more food, and there was only one passage down the mountain, as long as the Song army was blocked below, they could only die of thirst on the mountain.

"Hahahaha~, mission accomplished, get out of here!" Hu Yanqing in the sky was looking up to the sky and laughing, and then ordered the hot air balloon to leave the mountain, they had to land on the other side of Huya Peak, and then climb over the Great Wall that had been occupied by the Song army and come back to Yang Huaiyu to return to Yang Huaiyu.
