Blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and Hu also thinks that this sentence is very reasonable, because just when the fierce fire oil is about to run out, the damn demon wind also stopped.

What's worse is that now they are over the Taihu Lake at a height of several thousand meters, and as soon as the wind stops, although the hot air balloon is moving forward by inertia, the resistance is surprisingly large, and the speed quickly drops down.

Now there is still a mile away from the nearest lake, at this time, because the area of the West Lake is very large, nearly twice as large as the West Lake that Hu Ye knew before, the water is naturally much deeper, if you fall into the lake, you will have to drown.

In addition, the fire of the fierce oil spray is getting smaller and smaller, the lift of the hot air balloon is getting smaller and smaller, and the speed of descent is getting faster and faster, and it seems that it can't land on the shore.

"Grandpa Ruan, you come and master the rudder and fly the hot air balloon to the nearest land." Hu Ye took out the knife as he spoke.

"Boy, what are you going to do!"

Ruan An also realized the severity of the matter, because the landing speed was too fast, he also felt the feeling of weightlessness, and his stomach began to feel uncomfortable again.

"Lose your weight, or you'll fall into the lake."

After Hu Ye finished speaking, he began to use a knife to cut the sandbags on the bamboo basket, those things were originally counterweights and had to be thrown away.

As a result, bags of sandbags fell, and the hot air balloon was only two meters high at this time, but the speed at which the sandbags fell was still extremely fast, and if they hit the middle of the lake, it would still cause huge damage.

There were some pleasure boats down there, and they didn't want a sandbag to hit the bow of the boat.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the bow of the ship was smashed through, but fortunately there was no one on it, otherwise it would have smashed its head to pieces.

"What's going on!"

I put on a little couple and ran out, and saw the big hole in the bow, fortunately it was the bow, even if it was smashed through, it would not leak.

Then they heard another loud bang. A sandbag fell on the stern of their boat, smashing a large hole.

At this time, the boy looked up and saw that the sparse sandbags in the sky had fallen, and they smashed on the West Lake one by one, and smashed into the water, which would cause big waves. If it hits the boat, it will immediately smash the boat through, and he can already see that someone has jumped into the lake, because that person's boat has been smashed to pieces.

"What's that!"

The boy looked through the sandbags. I saw the hot air balloon in the sky and screamed loudly.

The woman looked up and saw that they had never seen anything like that.

"Is that a big bird?" The woman asked in a whisper.

"Big bird? Are you saying that our ship was smashed through by the droppings of a big bird? Wouldn't there be too much bird poop from this big bird? "That boy doesn't know what it is, and it's not easy to refute the woman's words, what if he refutes it, what if he is dumped?

The hot air balloon was not the only one who found it, and after so many attacks, the people on the West Lake had basically found the hot air balloon.

And the hot air balloon landed very quickly, and those people were able to see the hot air balloon very quickly. You can also see two people on top of it constantly throwing things down.

"Oh no! The enemy is coming! ”

Some people shouted loudly, if they are not enemies, why throw things down to attack them? Didn't you see those attacks smashing into the ship, and they could smash a hole in the ship?

The roar was not loud. But the effect is shocking, because Suzhou has not been at war for many years, even if there are Japanese invaders, that is, in the Wusong generation. Then it was suppressed by Zhenhaiwei's army, and it was impossible to hit Suzhou City, or even West Lake.

And now it's not just coming. And it was falling into the sky, and the weapons used were so sharp that people couldn't help but panic.

So the people who were still walking on the edge of the West Lake began to flee in all directions, for fear that the weapons dropped from above would ruin their heads.

This scene can be seen more clearly in the air, because now the hot air balloon has fallen to a height of thousands of meters, and the scene below can be clearly seen.

But fortunately, the current West Lake is not as prosperous as in later generations, there are not many people on the edge of the West Lake, and there has not been a stampede, otherwise the sandbags thrown by Hu Ye did not kill people, but they trampled on each other and died.

"Boy, what are they running for?"

Ruan An held the rudder and asked Hu Ye curiously.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes, a sandbag fell from a height of thousands of meters, the energy was no less than a bullet, and it was certain to die if it hit a person's head, and if he threw away dozens of sandbags, of course the people below would panic.

However, Hu Ye didn't have time to care about that now, because he found that even if he threw away all the sandbags, the weight of the bamboo basket was still too large.

And now that the oil has burned out, there is no fire left, only the majestic wind blowing the hot air balloon towards the shore.

But at the current speed at which the hot air balloon is falling, it will definitely not be able to fall ashore.

If you want to land safely on shore, you have to reduce the speed at which the hot air balloon falls, and now the only way is to reduce the weight.

Hu Ye glanced at Ruan An, and thought about throwing this cargo down, maybe he would be able to land safely.

Ruan An looked at Hu Ye's eyes and shuddered, that look was really terrifying.

Hu Ye watched it for a long time, but he still forgot it, this product is still a teacher in the academy, and it is a pity to throw it down.

So Hu Ye looked at the oil storage tank, the metal was too heavy, as long as he threw it down, he should be able to land safely.

"Boy, you don't want to throw it away, do you? Isn't this hot air balloon going to waste? "Ruan An is a little reluctant, without that thing, how can he fly in the future?

"It's okay not to throw it, you can jump on your own." Hu Ye glanced at Ruan An.

Ruan An stretched out his head and saw that there were still one or two hundred zhang high, and the one who went down to ensure that he could not die again.

So Ruan An began to help Hu Ye deal with the oil storage tank, for life and Feitian, he still felt that life was important, isn't it just a broken tank, and it can still be built when he returns to Nanjing.

In order to fix the oil storage tank, Hu Ye made a lot of effort, and the beef tendon boiled was not used less, but now it has become a big trouble, a knife is not enough at all, and if you want to pry open so many beef tendons, you can't do it in a short time.

And the speed at which the hot air balloon fell warned Hu Ye not to drop the oil storage tank. They're about to fall into the West Lake.

Although the water in West Lake is not deep, it is not a problem to drown the two of them.

"There's no time! Grandpa Ruan, you hold on to this rope! ”

Hu Ye looked at the shore of the West Lake not far away and made a decision.

"What for?" Ruan An was taken aback, as if he had thought of what Hu Ye was going to do.

"What? Throw it down with the bamboo basket, of course! ”

Hu Ye said as he climbed onto the bamboo basket and began to cut the part wrapped in fire cloth under the hot air balloon with a knife.

In order to fix the oil storage tank, in addition to the beef tendon, the shelf that binds the oil storage tank was fixed on the fire cloth, so that it would not fall off.

Now I can't crack the cow tendon on the oil storage tank, so I can only cut the fire cloth. Let the whole bracket fall along with the bamboo basket, and the two of them will only have to fall on the two ropes, so that the hot air balloon will be lowered to the lightest and should be able to fly to the shore.

Ruan An began to close his eyes, his old bones still had to suffer this kind of sin, and he didn't know if he could hold on.

Soon, the crowd on the edge of the lake had scattered and fled, and only those in the middle of the lake had no way to escape, but rowed desperately. I want to dock.

Moreover, some soldiers have appeared on the side of the road, all of them are guards patrolling nearby, and after receiving the report of the people, they have come to the edge of the West Lake.

"Captain. What is that, how come we haven't seen it before? ”

A team of five had arrived at the edge of the West Lake, looking up at the hot air balloons that were getting bigger and closer. A soldier asked loudly.

"I haven't seen it either, but it's certainly not a good thing, you see that several boats on the lake have been destroyed. There are also some people in the water who have fallen overboard, and they must be spies of the enemy! ”

The captain pointed to the man in the lake who was still swimming desperately.

"So what do we do? Do you want to notify Hyaknohe-sama? ”

"You really want to report it, but the credit can't be snatched by others, let's take down the spies above first." The captain said coldly.

At this moment, they saw another large object fall from the hot air balloon, which was the bamboo basket and oil storage tank of the hot air balloon.

"Hmph, follow the wilderness in Suzhou, Lao Tzu is going to shoot you even your mother!"

After the bamboo basket and oil storage tank fell, the captain saw two people falling on the hot air balloon, which must be spies!

"Haha, boy, you see, someone is coming down there to pick us up."

Ruan An also saw a few soldiers below, so he shouted happily, one was so happy that he almost didn't let go.

Now it's still dozens of feet high, and if you fall, you will definitely die without a place to be buried.

"Grandpa Ruan, are you sure they are here to answer us, not to shoot us into a hornet's nest?" Hu Ye rolled his eyes and said.

Ruan An was startled, lowered his head again, and found that the five soldiers below had actually started shooting arrows at them.

"I'm! How dare you shoot me! When I return to the palace, I will definitely break them into pieces! Ruan An roared.

Those arrows were fast, but they couldn't shoot that high at all, so they stopped when they were dozens of meters away from Hu Ye and them, and then they fell.

But now the hot air balloon is still falling, and it will always fall within range, and then the two of them will become a live target.

Hu Ye's face was very ugly, he didn't die on the body of the hot air balloon, but was shot into a hornet's nest by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and it would become a joke at that time.

"Stop for Lao Tzu!"

Ruan An roared because he found that they were getting closer and closer, and there was no place to hide in the air when the time came.

Ruan An's voice was very loud, but it couldn't reach that far at all, those soldiers couldn't hear it at all, even if they heard it, they couldn't stop, two spies, but what about a big feat.

It has been many years since they fought in the war, and they have no military merits to get promoted.

"Shoot me, they're getting closer, be sure to shoot them into a hornet's nest!"

The captain yelled excitedly. (To be continued......)
