It is undeniable that hot air balloons are a good thing, especially in this era when they are almost invincible as long as they go to the sky, but hot air balloons also have many shortcomings, which have not been solved even in the 21st century. For example, security, high price, and many other issues.

But even so, Yue Yang gritted his teeth and purchased more than a dozen hot air balloon equipment from modern times for the artillery battalion to serve as an observation and command, and even occasionally made a cameo as a bomber and air gunboat, and the second hot air balloon was loaded with a batch of Yue Yang's self-made incendiary bombs. The production of incendiary bombs is actually not complicated, as long as there is sugar, gasoline, cotton cloth and some simple chemical raw materials, you can make a lot of gasoline and raw materials from modern times in order to conquer Shengjing Yueyang this time, and make a batch of simple incendiary bombs, and now this batch of incendiary bombs is carried by these more than ten hot air balloons and is ready to give the Qing army below a pot to drink.

The area of the hanging basket under the hot air balloon is about fifteen square meters, and on weekdays it can carry more than a dozen firecrackers to suppress ground targets, but today there are only two people here except for the operator, and the rest of the place is full of a pile of swarthy oval ceramic canisters, these things are the incendiary bombs that Yue Yang made people to drive.

The hot air balloon will not rise after rising to the air of 300 meters, because this distance is already a safe height, whether it is the Qing army's bow and crossbow or bird gun can not pose a threat to it, after the operator's operation, more than ten hot air balloons after more than ten minutes also gradually floated to the sky above the Dadong Gate and the Desheng Gate.

The hot air balloon came over, and the Qing army on the wall of Desheng Gate and Dadong Gate immediately became nervous, it was this thing that was so vicious, this damn thing was constantly standing high in the sky and shooting downward, but the people on the ground could only stare dryly and couldn't do it, the reason why the casualties of the Qing army yesterday were so large was that Cheng dù had the credit of these hot air balloons.

"These bastards!" Du Du on the city wall looked at the hot air balloon almost above his head and gritted his teeth and cursed, now he realized what it means to be powerless, in the face of the cold gun from the sky, even if he has the ability to go to the sky, he can't use it.

"Lord Belle. The ball in the sky is here again, you better hide, this thing is poisonous. A nearby Goshha, who had seen the power of hot air balloons, hurriedly persuaded Dudu to find a place to take refuge.

"It's not good, they're floating towards us, Lord Belle, let's go to the side and hide!" One of Goshha's faces suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but say anything, and he pulled Du Du and ran towards a ruin next to him.

"What are you panicking about...... I don't believe that it has three heads and six arms, what can he do with him? Seeing the panicked appearance of Goshha on the side, Du Du was angry, shook his sleeves vigorously and was about to drink, when he suddenly saw the big guys on his head suddenly threw some black things on the ground.

I understood what fell from the sky, Du Du lost his voice and said, "What is that?" ”

As soon as the words fell, those black things were already wrapped in high-speed and slammed into the ground with a dull cracking sound, with a cracking sound. The black stuff cracked open, and countless black ointment-like liquids began to splash around, as a pungent smell began to permeate the walls.

"What the hell are these?"

Faced with the sudden things that fell from the sky, Du Du was a little stunned for a while, although he hadn't seen the use of these things yet, but out of the intuition he had practiced on the battlefield, a feeling that made him tremble immediately came to his heart.

"Smack...... When the ...... Bang Dang ......"

The sound of various objects bursting continued to sound on the city wall, and countless black paste-like liquids were also splashing and flowing everywhere on the city wall. After discovering that there was nothing unusual, many Qing soldiers began to laugh loudly.

"Haha...... What are you going to do with these timid dogs other than throwing things in the sky? Are you just going to let this garbage? ”

The pressure on the Qing army is too great these days, and the so-called panic is followed by extreme arrogance, and many Qing soldiers also make all kinds of contemptuous actions towards the hot air balloons in the sky. Some Qing soldiers even simply took off their pants and made the gesture of urinating into the sky.

"That's not right...... There's got to be something wrong here! ”

Du Du looked at the Qing army on the city wall pointing at the sky and smiling, his uneasy mood not only did not decrease in the slightest but became heavier and heavier, and suddenly Du Du issued an order that puzzled everyone.

"Quick...... Except for some people who were left behind, the others hurried down the city wall...... Fast! ”

"What ......"

As soon as Du Du's words fell, many people were a little confused. What the hell does this guy mean? Outside, the Ming army is preparing to attack the city, but you let the soldiers go down the city wall?

In fact, the order given by Du Du was just something he subconsciously said, but even so, this order was given too late. At the same time as he said this, dozens of lit torches were thrown down from the air, because the weight of the torches was certainly not as heavy as the porcelain jar just now, so some were transferred to the outside of the city wall, some fell into the city wall, but more still fell on the city wall and touched the black oil that was almost covered with the ground.

"Boom ......"

As if the spark had fallen into the oil pot, the entire city wall made a rumbling sound, and along with this sound, a huge orange-red flame rose into the air.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the Ming soldiers who had been ordered to retreat to three hundred steps away from the city wall could see it clearly, and a rumbling sound sounded on the city wall like a demon's cruel laughter, followed by a huge flame rising rapidly, this flame quickly spread on the city wall, and they quickly swallowed up the entire section of the city wall like a flame coming out of the area.

"Ah......h

A Qing soldier covered in flames suddenly jumped out of the city wall, his whole body was wrapped in a ball of orange flames, his mouth made a sound that was not human, and the whole person danced in mid-air and did all kinds of strange movements, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Help me...... Help me! ”

A soldier who was on fire shouted a painful cry to his companion on the side, and his companion did not see death but stretched out his hand to pat the flames on his body for him, trying to extinguish the fire for him, but something shocking happened, the flames on the soldier's body were not only not extinguished but getting bigger and bigger, and even the hands and bodies of the soldiers who helped him extinguish the fire began to burn because of the black ointment. In this way, there was one more person who was set ablaze by the flames. What's more, some 'smart' Qing soldiers rolled on the ground immediately after being on fire, trying to extinguish the flames in a way that would be done in this way, but in the end they were transformed into humanoid torches.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees emitted by the incendiary bomb when it burns completely turns the entire Dadong Gate into an eighteen-story hell, and thousands of Qing soldiers on the city wall are struggling in pain in the flames, and those defenders of Deshengmen have the same fate as them. But a little better than Du Du who entered the gate of Dadong was that due to the limited number of incendiary bombs carried by the hot air balloon, the incendiary bombs that fell at Deshengmen were much less than those at Dadong's entrance, which also made the Qing army at Deshengmen suffer heavy losses, but Azige, who took the lead, quickly fled from Deshengmen under the escort of Goshha. Thus he was able to escape this fate.

The sudden flames frightened the people near the battlefield, and these frightened people also included the Ming troops outside the city who were ordered to retreat, and the relentless flames couldn't help but swallow the Qing troops on countless city walls, and also frightened the Ming troops outside.

"Oh my god, this is terrible, this is a deadly flame." Hu Dawei looked at the flames burning above the city, only felt that his mouth was dry and his heart was beating faster, he was nearly fifty years old this year, and he had been in the army for twenty or thirty years, but he had never seen such a tragic scene, those flames seemed to suddenly emerge from hell and swallowed everything on the city wall like a devil.

An adjutant standing next to him looked at the hellish scene in front of him and muttered, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

"What to do...... Wait. Hu Dawei took a deep breath. As if to suppress the fear in his heart completely, he shook his head vigorously, and then fell silent as he watched the flickering flames on the city wall.

These flames not only burned the Qing army on the city wall, but also extinguished the spirit of the Qing army, at this time almost all the Qing troops in Shengjing knew that the companions who had just been transferred to defend the Dadong Gate and Desheng Gate were burned clean by the Ming army.

Standing more than a mile away from the entrance of the Great East, Dolgon. Looking at the black smoke of the city gate was silent for a long time, suddenly a mouthful of red and black blood spit out, and the whole person began to stagger, about to fall, the guard next to him saw this and quickly supported him and shouted in horror: "Your Majesty...... Are you okay? You need to take care of your dragon's body! ”

"What are you afraid of...... I'm not dead yet! Dolgon spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled to stand up, turned his head and scolded the guards impatiently, he closed his eyes again and muttered for a long time before sighing: "The gate of Dadong and the gate of Desheng must not be lost. Spread my will, and immediately ordered Prince Li Daishan and Sonny Daishan to lead the red and white flags to rush to the aid of Dadong Gate and Desheng Gate after the fire was extinguished, if these two places are lost, let them come to see them! ”

"Huh!"

The raging flames burned for nearly half an hour before they were extinguished, and when Sonny led reinforcements back onto the walls that were still braving, even his battle-hardened veteran couldn't bear to look at it. At this time, the city walls were littered with corpses. The corpses were all burned to pitch black, and the shapes were all strange, and all the clothes on the corpses were burned to ashes, and even the armor on the corpses was burned to the ground.

"Hmm...... Wow......"

"Uh...... Wow......"

Many Qing soldiers who had just climbed the city wall and saw this scene couldn't help but hold on to the wall and began to vomit, although the Qing soldiers have always regarded themselves as ferocious, but when they saw their countless robes being burned into such a shape, the impact on their hearts was incomparable, because as long as people saw their own kind of people become like this, as long as they were not mentally problematic or born perverts, they would feel uncomfortable.

It's just that the Ming army didn't give the Qing soldiers much time to vomit, and soon someone reported to Sony, "Master, the Ming army is up!" ”

The muscles on Sonny's face twitched fiercely, and he said fiercely: "What are you still doing in a daze, give me to come up and drive the Ming army out, otherwise if you wait for the Ming army to attack the city, no one will want to live!" ”

The fierce siege battle began again, and the hot air balloons in the sky returned to the position after dropping bombs, and flew back to the city wall with firecrackers, suppressing the fire of the city wall again. Although the sergeant on the hot air balloon wanted to burn the suckling pig on the city wall again, but this time he didn't carry many incendiary bombs, so he could only honestly start to do their old job again and do the work of fire suppression.

Under the command of Hu Dawei, a group of soldiers carried a ladder and began to climb the city wall, under the city wall were a group of musketeers to cover, and those in the air in hot air balloons were suppressed.

Under such a powerful attack, the casualties of the Qing army at Dadong Jinmen and Deshengmen soon rose in a straight line, and in less than two hours, more than 5,000 soldiers of Daishan's department had suffered casualties.

A red-flag Jia Lazhangjing knelt down in front of Dai Shan and cried bitterly: "Master, we can't fight like this anymore, if we continue to fight like this, we will fight out!" You can tell the emperor, remove us, and leave some seeds for us to be the red flag! ”

Looking at the crying Jia Lazhangjing, Dai Shan closed his eyes in pain, the red flag is the foundation of Dai Shan's business for decades, and now he has suffered such a heavy loss, but he understands that once Dadong enters the gate and loses, then the Ming army can swarm in from here, and the entire Sheng Kyoto will not be covered at that time.

He slowly pulled up Zhemin Jia Lazhangjing and said in a deep voice: "You go to meet the emperor immediately, and immediately go to the city to mobilize young people, but all men over the age of sixteen and under forty will be on the city wall for me, otherwise Shengjing City will not be able to stand it!" ”

"Whoa......

This Jia Lazhangjing answered loudly and was about to stand up, but he heard a burst of cheers not far away, and when he listened to it, his face immediately began to change, and his face changed like him, and Dai Shan on the side. Because they were fluent in Chinese, they heard it, and they were shouting loudly, "The city is broken...... The city is broken".

"It's Sony...... Something happened to Sony! ”

Hearing this, Dai Shan's face immediately changed...... (To be continued......)
