Chapter 877: Surprise Soldier from the Sky! Hot air balloon artillery fortress
After Xia Duoduo finished speaking, he ordered the generals who were watching to return the same way, and each led his hot air balloon troops to encircle and suppress the Moon Water Temple!
In order to increase the effect of the attack, Xia Duoduo specially ordered to install a fuel tank under the hot air balloon, and set it on fire above the Moon Water Temple and throw it down. At the same time, in order to hunt down those elders and sacrifices, four ground-to-ground wave cannons were installed on each hanging basket.
Considering that the coalition forces have no experience in night operations, they choose to wait at high altitude and conduct surprise operations at the moment when the sun sets into the horizon!
Fortunately, because of the swampy terrain around Qingshui City, there are countless low-altitude clouds in the air to cover, and the hot air balloon does not have much sound, so it is difficult to be spotted.
It is for this reason that Xia Duoduo decided to let them go for a go, after all, they will take on the responsibility of protection in the years to come, not to mention that he has doubts about the safety and comfort of this rudimentary homemade hot air balloon.
However, it can be seen that those generals are extremely excited about hot air balloons, and they have personally witnessed the flying eagle air battle, and they declare war on the sky that they once feared. The hot air balloon quickly disappeared from sight, and Xia Duoduo withdrew his gaze and sighed.
It seems that he underestimated these generals too much. With their longing for a hot air balloon, it will inevitably change the entire war situation and make the Twin Moon Palaces tremble.
However, this change will eventually be applied to the general public. Perhaps, in the end, ordinary people will be able to travel across borders in a hot air balloon.
As for airships and airplanes, it may be difficult to manufacture them before they solve the power problem, and when it comes to engines, traction levers and brake systems, it takes the industry to reach an extremely developed level to make them.
The scarcity of spar resources makes it impossible to manufacture this spar energy engine in Xia Duoduo's hands. For quite some time, I'm afraid hot air balloons will still be the main power.
Xia Duoduo looked back at Mo Xiaocui: "How many wounded soldiers do you have here?" ”
Because he didn't know Xia Duoduo's purpose, Mo Xiaocui's face changed slightly, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes: "Back to Your Majesty!" There were 300 wounded soldiers, in addition to 2,600 civilians in need of treatment. ”
"So many civilians?" Xia Duoduo raised the corner of his eyes, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't you arrange for them to take refuge?" ”
Mo Xiaocui's face became even more ugly, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, she bit her lip, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Back to Your Majesty, the old people and children have been arranged to take refuge, and the rest of the civilians have chosen to help us defend the city." ”
"You even let someone with no combat experience act as a guard!" The anger in Xia Duoduo's heart burned upward, and he was about to burn the void.
Now in the war with the Twin Moon Palace, these civilians who have no military literacy will suffer even greater sacrifices. In particular, if you can't skillfully manipulate your weapon to counterattack, your fire suppression and attack power will be greatly reduced.
With anger on his face, Xia Duoduo looked at the soldier who was operating the fluctuating cannon on one side, only to see that "he" was wearing a sergeant's robe, but he was wearing civilian boots on his feet, and he was wiping the barrel with a long cotton cloth...... The clumsy appearance made Xia Duoduo a little annoyed.
I don't know if I wipe the inside and outside of the gun chamber with different cotton cloths! The gun carriage should be fixed with a heavy object! Use a non-slip mat at the back of the buffer pond! …… I don't know anything, I don't understand anything, this soldier is too casual!
It's so amateurish! How can this account be played?!
That is, those people in the Shuangyue Palace are under the city wall, and they are fighting in the swamp! If you change the scene, these soldiers will be crushed head-on in an instant! Qingshui Castle will be breached!
A gust of wind blew, and a trace of hair floated over and stuck to Xia Duoduo's face.
Xia Duoduo stared at the golden red hair with some puzzlement, and then suddenly looked at the soldier, scanning back and forth at "him", as if he wanted to see through "his" body through the loose military robe! Xia Duoduo looked at the slightly swollen arc of his chest and withdrew his gaze.
After taking a big breath, he asked Mo Xiaocui, "How many complete soldiers are there now?" ”
Mo Xiaocui pondered for a while, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there are still one hundred and ten."
The three soldiers, each serving as the commander of the ten squads, may have been disabled after the battle just now, and they have not yet been reported. ”
"Dozens of Yunqi soldiers have been injured?" Xia Duoduo's face suddenly felt hot, she took a sharp breath, and looked into the distance.
"So far, five thousand three hundred and twenty-six people have been sacrificed......" Mo Xiaocui said as her eyes were blood-red, and she couldn't bear to say it anymore.
It turned out that the soldiers of Qingshui City were about to run out like fuel, and the souls of the loyal bones disappeared into the wind. All this cannot be expressed in words, for the names of these heroes have already flashed in the heavens and the earth!
Xia Duoduo just wants to wait, and when the sun and moon meet, the surprise soldiers from the sky will issue thunderous sanctions to the provocateurs!
Now there was more to do, and Xia Duoduo went to inspect the sick and wounded, and took some medicinal herbs from his folding backpack and gave them to the military doctor. For those injections, the method of injection is detailed.
Mo Xiaocui, who was accompanying him, was a little surprised when Xia Duoduo took out the medicine, and the rest of the time he lowered his head to guide in front.
Perhaps it was the Qingshui City he managed that caused such a big loss, which made Xia Duoduo furious, and he felt a little ashamed and blamed himself in his heart.
Xia Duoduo on the other side was a little embarrassed because of the slap in the face caused by his negligence. The two of them were a little silent and walked forward on their own.
Xia Duoduo took out some rice noodles and prepared a gruel for the soldiers on duty. Under the pretext of neglecting the defense line, he avoided Mo Xiaocui.
Mo Xiaocui was a little nervous, and seeing that Xia Duoduo resolutely refused to accompany him, he used the excuse that he was busy with business and asked his deputy to accompany him and two guards to escort him.
After putting aside the embarrassment, Xia Duoduo inspected the entire city wall defense area and saw that workers were already urgently repairing the damaged places. Xia Duoduo turned into the mound of the lake in the city and planted potato seeds, and handed them over to his deputy how to plant them on a large scale.
After explaining the advantages of potatoes, the deputy's eyes sparkled and he had already written them down.
It is believed that it will not be long before the potatoes mature and continue to expand the planting area, which can alleviate the famine in Qingshui City to a large extent.
The time for farming flies, and after Xia Duoduo has invited everyone to a full meal, the sunset has gradually approached the horizon, and the sky has gradually darkened, and the sky seems to be wrapped in a gray curtain.
After a day of sun exposure, the smell of the wet earth of the swamp came to me, and the wind blew a little itchy on the face.
Xia Duoduo returned to the castle tower, assembled two high-powered military telescopes from his backpack, fixed them on the stand, and looked into the distance.
Through the shallow water vapor, Xia Duoduo saw that the camp of the Moon Water Hall of the Double Moon Palace was floating on the swamp. Perhaps for enough tension, all the rafts were joined together by finger-thick metal locks. Wooden pavilions were then built on these rafts.
Xia Duoduo was slightly surprised, the corners of her mouth hooked upward, and she said four words calmly: "Burning Chibi"! The reason why Shu and Wu were able to win. This is because Cao Cao tied all the warships with iron chains to increase stability.
Separated by different time and space, people here actually thought of one place, and they didn't know if it was a blessing or a joke of fate.
As if to test her idea, the fuel tanks on the hot air balloon were lit in turn in the air and fell downward. As the sun finally sets, countless fireballs burn in the sky, falling downwards like the end of the world.
Poignant, cold, and untouched.
Fuel mixed with fuel oil was poured on this water, and the bridges, houses, and palaces of the Moon Water Hall were all burned, and people took refuge, hoping to douse them with water.
As the fuel thickened, the water began to burn, and thick smoke billowed out half of the sky. In the dim light blindness, the orange-red fire was particularly dazzling.
With the firelight as the stage, those black figures danced one melody after another on the platform and in the water. Like musical notes abruptly stopping in mid-air, sound waves interspersed
Medium rapid reverberation.
In the next moment, the entire Moon Water Hall station turned into a sea of fire. The rising light pierced through the mist and illuminated the mire. It can be seen clearly almost without a telescope.
The fire burned all night, and during this night, the balloon army in the sky shot wave cannonballs at the monks who fled with the flames, killing them.
It wasn't until the elders realized that extinguishing the fire would not be attacked, and they extinguished the fire one after another, to their surprise or luck: the bottomless mire opened its mouth and devoured those who dared to destroy the tranquility.
The next day, the United Guards, who had landed vertically from the hot air balloon, found that most of the monks who had once held themselves in high esteem had been reduced to cold corpses. Those who survived were severely burned, and dampness entered their bodies, and their lives were short.
After a sweep, the crowd left. A few moments later, the loot was placed in front of Xia Duoduo, and what stood out was an open letter.
The dark brown parchment was crumpled and cracked, and there were some things written on it, and the handwriting was a little blurry, and Xia Duoduo struggled to make it.
This is actually a letter, but I don't know who wrote it, and it outlines a combination of ASCII code and hexadecimal to binary, 83=3A-7A=Z14=a-6A=z
3T corresponds to hash ##......
Obviously, information is affected by space, time, and its own gravity in the course of transmission. Even the entire direction of information transmission is distorted and refracted.
Maybe this letterhead shouldn't have appeared here, but it was unbelievably captured by someone in the Moonwater Temple.
In the area the size of a fingernail on the left side, there is a detailed description of how to crack the digital translation method.
Xia Duoduo took out a stack of papers, wrote down groups of data on it, and began to decipher.
"All who received this letter, please help us!
We're alive!
The survivors who served as the central hub survived!
Until now, we can't tell how much damage this experiment has caused......
But we firmly believe that there is still a small area in the central hub that has not collapsed and been damaged.
Maybe it's the other side there.
The axis and core of the whole world.
After predicting the Pivot area, we concentrated all our efforts on repairing the core area.
Now, however, it appears that progress is elusive......
We pin our hopes on people who know the central axis and what it means.
Let them know the truth.
In order to be able to help you and be your beacon, we need to wait for generations to come.
This is the central axis, the Gamma Alpha area, and we're alive!
……”
The font on the back is a little blurry, I don't know why it happened in the first place, and I even worry that this is a fatal letter, or someone is digging a hole.
Xia Duoduo pondered for a while, and was a little unsure of paying attention, so he had to rub a copy and discuss it when he met Qin Hao.
At this moment, Xia Duoduo's emergency call device, which had lost contact with Qin Hao, had a special feeling, just like constantly linking Bluetooth headsets, but could not be accurately accessed.
In the dark, he could feel that the person was not far away from him, and there was a possibility of colliding with each other.
But this is also a bit of nonsense, perhaps far from the extent of the seriousness portrayed in the letter, and these are just unfounded worries.
However, the reality has taught Xia Duoduo a vivid lesson.
