Xu Yang was stunned, knowing that the enemy must have weapons on the ground to deal with the air, although he didn't understand the reason, but it would definitely be extremely dangerous to go on like this. Once the balloon has been poked through a large hole, and those flying things have a series of fires, it will definitely intensify the burning. In addition, in order for the balloon to fly quickly and continuously, there is a lot of fuel on it, and if it is not operated properly, it will be burned, so the seemingly safe hot air balloon is actually extremely dangerous. When it was first developed, many people were burned to death, and in order to find such a large hot air balloon that could be used for war, how many people's hard work and even lives were paid.

Therefore, the fragile hot air balloon could not withstand the blow at all, Xu Yang immediately ordered artillery support, no matter what it was in the Yesan Pass, it was very terrifying, and it would make a devastating blow to the hot air balloon. So Xu Yang decided to use his artillery strength to kill everything in the Yesan Pass and let them burn it. At the same time, the flag bearer ordered the people on the hot air balloon to continue bombing, and assisted in attacking threats on the ground.

Because only a small part of the artillery of the Lu family army was aimed at the city before, most of them were aimed at the strong city wall, ready to flatten the city wall and then rush into the city in great strides. Artillery is not meant to be hit there, but it has to be calibrated, test-firing, and fine-tuned. So this time the time was a little slower, but the remnant army in the city was not slow at all, and the kind of sky-high fire just now appeared again, constantly flying, this time there were more than a dozen beams.

All of a sudden, all the hot air balloons began to increase their fire, but the speed was far higher than the arrival of those fires, and the hot air balloons were constantly penetrated, either slowly landing or starting to plant. A huge hundred-person balloon was even hit with fuel. The entire hot air balloon, along with the soldiers on it, turned into a ball of flames.

Xu Yang repeatedly urged artillery fire to do ground support, you must know that although the number of air cavalry on these hot air balloons is small, there are more than 100 people. It was specially sent by Lu Bing from the guards around Jinyiwei, and they were extremely strong in combat and very expensive. Now that it has been directly destroyed, Xu Yang can't accept it, and he feels that he can't explain it to his lord Lu Bing.

In fact, it is not only the training of air cavalry that is difficult, but even the operators on the hot air balloons are also very rare talents. But if you really let them go up on their own, I'm afraid that their legs will be weak. It is very rare to overcome the fear of heights, and the number of people carrying hot air balloons is limited, so Lu Jiajun cannot support idlers. And the air soldiers can't have an idler, each of them is a carefully selected person. Not only to shoot accurately, but also to operate the hot air balloon skillfully. How to use the wind direction, how to rise and fall. Various orientation operations. Judging the terrain, observing the enemy's situation, communicating with the ground, etc., must be known to everyone, just in case something goes wrong, it will be a disadvantage.

In addition, what can be accurately thrown on it, accurate shooting, etc., the weapons used are also the most advanced in the whole army, wrapped explosive packs, not only to cause fire and air waves, but also to kill the enemy through the ejection of the contents of the guò after the explosion. There are also more accurate guns and even portable guns. It was necessary to strike at the ground without having an impact on the balloon's flight. Tongguò high-quality soldiers also have advanced weapons, which ensure great lethality to the ground troops, but in short, the heavens are more important, you need to save your own life in the air before you can kill the enemy on the ground, and although Lu Bing has prepared parachutes and other things, you can land from a high altitude. But once the hot air balloon crashes, I am afraid that it is difficult to have the height of the parachute jump and the time to escape, and the huge hot air balloon will directly cover people inside, and there is no way to avoid it.

In this way, these hot-air balloon warriors, although not as subtle and difficult to select as the air cavalry, are also rare talents. Now this qiē has been reduced to nothing in the dense flames that rose to the sky, but it has suffered from itself. The soldiers were planted on the ground with the destruction of the hot air balloon, or even turned into a ball of fire in the air.

And at this time, the sound of artillery fire sounded in Yesan Pass, and the artillery fire in the sky smashed into the camp of the Lu family's army, and the Lu army had just adjusted its position and was ready to shoot, but it was suppressed by the firepower, and the artillery fire was detonated one after another in an instant, and the casualties were very heavy. It was as if it had been reversed at this moment, and the Lu Jiajun had become a passively beaten army, while the remnant Ming army was showing off its might and spreading its banner high. The Lu family army was at a loss, they had never suffered such a defeat, but fortunately, they were usually well-trained, constantly moving away from the artillery fire, rescuing supplies and munitions, and heading out of the firing range.

At the same time, Lu Jiajun's artillery began to return fire independently, and now the enemy's artillery fire has been completed, and the number is not less than that of Lu Jiajun, and there are also incendiary bombs, explosive bombs, etc., and even some of them are loaded with tribulus terrestris fragments and other things, and the shells explode to kill and injure countless people. Therefore, it is impossible to suppress it again, and it is only hoped that it can disrupt the enemy's artillery fire so that it can retreat calmly.

The worst thing was the steam crash that went to the siege of the city, the huge crash car was thrown all kinds of fuel, and people didn't have time to run out at all, they were burned alive inside, like cooked meat on an iron plate, and all kinds of tragic conditions were unbearable.

Xu Yang's eyes widened angrily, the situation on the battlefield has always been fleeting and unpredictable, but this is too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it began to change from victory to beating in the back, could it be that Qi Jingtong had these weapons from the beginning, but he didn't use them, so he hid in Yesanguan and waited for this moment? Xu Yang couldn't believe that this qiē was true, and the guards next to him added layers of iron armor to wrap Xu Yang, but Xu Yang refused to retreat, and the surrounding generals begged bitterly, claiming that they were not afraid of no firewood to burn.

Xu Yang stared at those hot air balloons quietly, at this time these hot air balloons had almost been wiped out, and some air cavalry flew down from above, seeing that there were about forty people. Xu Yang ordered to send cavalry to the rescue, not to give up these air cavalry brothers, the gentleman has something to do and something not to do, the Lu family army can give up for the sake of strategy, or for strategic containment, even if the whole army is annihilated, he will never leave the soldiers behind for his own escape. This is also the reason why Lu Jiajun is so loyal, because this army deserves to be so, and will never abandon and give up a person. Even if it may be more expensive to save a teammate, it may be a bit silly from a strategic point of view in the art of war. But the Lu Jiajun will still do this, and there is a righteous word in this army.

But before the soldiers could rush out, they were attacked by ground artillery. In addition to the shotguns that Lu Jiajun also has, there are also double bombardments mentioned in Lu Xun's report. Now Xu Yang believed that what Lu Xun said was true, but it was too late, and for a while, the soldiers were killed and injured countless times, Xu Yang roared again and again, claiming why he didn't want this Qi Jingtong's life back then. or shouting Qi Jingtong, you and I are incompatible, etc., etc., etc., but they are all weak roars, as if he looks at other people's vows and will not retreat. It's just a few jokes.

Some of the air cavalry constantly circled in the air to avoid the hot air balloons planted, and killed the ground troops, seeing the rescue of the large army, trying their best to get closer to the main force of the landing army. But there is still a large part, because the take-off was unsuccessful. And it was really when the hot air balloon fell. The take-off was too low, so it tossed twice and failed to fly, sliding to the ground like a meteor. Some were even caught on fire by burning hot air balloons, or exploded fuel splashed on their bodies, some turned into flames in an instant, and some were flown chess pieces that broke holes and fell from the sky.

Of the more than 40 people, only seven were left alive because of the low position. The walls were too high, barely within the reach of a bow and arrow. So the twenty people who were lucky enough to survive were also shot and killed. They fled back Xu Yang then ordered the withdrawal of the army, and everyone retreated to Langping Town, but felt that Langping Town was suitable for holding the Lujia army and dealing with the attack from the east, but the enemy remnants of the Ming Dynasty came from the west, so it was not suitable to stay, so they retreated back to Changling again and again, at least with the help of the mountain, it was also convenient to defend some of the remnants of the Ming army.

Xu Yang needs to recuperate, and he needs to rectify the defeated army, because they are not like the remnants of the Ming, they are defeated and retreated, and there are city walls to block slightly, but they are disrupted, so the army is bound to be discouraged. Moreover, the materials were damaged, more than a dozen artillery pieces were injured, and the air power was directly destroyed, which made Xu Yang feel distressed, and even made the Lu Jiajun, who was accustomed to suppressing the advanced method of firepower, suddenly overstretched.

After entering Changling to do the stick, the remnant Ming was killed, from the Jingmen of the first pass to the seventh pass of Ye Sanguan, Lu Jiajun came very fast, but from the seventh pass of Ye Sanguan to the fifth pass of Changling, Lu Jiajun retreated faster, and it was even a wolf. Xu Yang was heartbroken, sighed, and claimed that he didn't know how to explain, but he was confused by Qi Jingtong, such a deliberately weak strategy had been used once in the previous battle, and now he used the same strategy again, or the same general, Xu Yang was still in the middle of the plan. Xu Yang was filled with grief and anger, his eyes were about to split, he wanted to be angry but didn't know how to get angry, and he suddenly fell into frustration.

Fortunately, there are many generals in the Lu family army who can hold up, and the defense is still in a tight arrangement. And he did not dare to conceal the information of the defeat and retreat, and sent it to the capital, and at the same time mobilized all kinds of firearms to support Xu Yangbu.

The remnant Ming army rushed to the front of the battle, at this time the morale of the remnant Ming was high, the drums were deafening, and the soldiers did not cheer, but their eyes were full of fighting spirit. The vigor that Xu Yang thought of before the attack was very suitable for Remnant Ming, and he turned the tide of the battle and won the victory, and now it can be said that the morale is high.

I thought that the remnants of the Ming would take advantage of this momentum to attack, and the army of the new country Lu was like a great enemy, although Xu Yang was frustrated, he also went to the city to personally supervise the battle. Lu Jiajun can't retreat, and if he retreats, it will definitely affect Lu Bing's plan, and it has become Xu Yang's order to resist the enemy to the death and no longer take a step back. At this time, Remnant Ming had a truce, and sent an invitation to Xu Yang to gather in the two armies, and Qi Jingtong and Qi Jingtong did not bring their own guards for a while.

All the generals of the Lu family army persuaded Xu Yang not to go, Qi Jingtong only had victory in his eyes, and there was no benevolence, righteousness and morality, he was able to oppose the Lu family regardless of his old feelings and kindness, and today he can kill Xu Yang treacherously in the two battles. At that time, the morale will be damaged or a trivial matter, as soon as Xu Yang dies, the Lu family army will have no leader, and the situation of the Lu family's army being defeated and retreating will inevitably be caused, so you must not fall into such a pre-battle plan. What's more, although Xu Yang has martial arts on his body, the elders of Shandong, including Xu Yang, all know that Qi Jingtong's martial arts are not weak, and the four of Lu Bing, Duan Qingfeng, Ji Lianhong and Qi Jingtong are still vividly remembered when they entered the formation, although Qi Jingtong is just beating the side drum to defend the rear, but his strength is still not to be underestimated. Therefore, if Xu Yang goes to the interview, once Qi Jingtong breaks out and hurts people, I am afraid that Xu Yang will be difficult to resist, what should I do when the time comes.

Xu Yang knew that what others said was reasonable, but he still decided to be willful. He arranged that in case he died, who should take his place, how to set up defenses, where was the bottom line of retreat, when to attack and when to retreat, he explained them one by one, and bit his finger and wrote a blood letter to Lu Bing. Please note the remorse and all kinds one by one, saying that once something happens to you, you will definitely send it to the saint, and then you should respond to Qi Jingtong and agree to go out of the city to see you.

Xu Yang thought about it, even if he died, he would have to die to understand, Qi Jingtong was his old enemy in this life, and he had a long talk to solve the confusion in his heart and the hatred in his heart. (To be continued......)
