The Ming soldiers began to feel the cruelty of the harsh winter in the north, and in mid to late October, it was already the cold season in the north, although the Ming army was repeatedly wary of this situation, but how could they feel the pulse of the heavens.

Song Nan didn't want to bomb with a hot air balloon immediately, but the problem was that the wind was not in the right direction, under the strong north wind, the hot air balloon would only float away to the south after it was empty, which was contrary to the Tartar military camp on the north bank. Song Nan buried his head in the camp and tried a variety of methods, thinking of ways to control the direction and advance the way, but the result was clueless. In this year, the technology and technology are still in a state of wilderness, in order to solve this kind of problem comparable to ascending to the sky, in the end, we can only follow the principle of the propeller, and install a shaking type of large wind blade on the side of the basket.

As a last resort, the army could only look across the river from the Tartar army, watching the days pass day by day, watching the cold descend step by step.

There is also good news coming, the rear Xu Tai led 5,000 soldiers and horses to easily take Hangjin, at the request of Song Nan, Shanxi Dusi sent Wei Yuanwei and Zhenxi Wei from the east and south respectively to the area south of the Yellow River in Hetao, Xu Tai was able to hand over the Hangjin and Yellow River defense lines to the west of Weiyuan Town two guards to defend, and withdraw to join the army.

By October 30, the entire large area south of the Yellow River was under the control of the Ming army, and tens of thousands of Mongol civilians who had not had time to evacuate were strictly controlled, and at the same time, a large-scale sweep of small groups of Tartar rangers in the areas recovered by the Ming army was launched.

On the second day of the first day of November, after getting up early in the morning, Song Nan didn't feel particularly cold, and the wind that had been whistling outside the tent couldn't be heard.

Song Nan couldn't believe his eyes, looking at the dead grass on the ground and the treetops that didn't move at all, Song Nan dared to believe that the north wind had really stopped.

Soon, the generals also sensed the abnormality, and they all gathered outside the big tent without waiting for Song Nan to summon it. Before Song Nan could speak, Zhang An hurriedly said: "General, the north wind has stopped suddenly, and the gray clouds are thick, this is a sign before the heavy snowfall. Before heavy snowfall, there is usually no wind, and the weather is not too cold, so the situation is not good. This snow is going to be in big trouble. ”

Song Nan frowned and nodded, he also knew this kind of statement, the temperature rose before the snow stopped, that was the condition for God to make snow, it seems that this heavy snow will not be able to run.

"It's going to snow, and my mother wants to get married, it's all things that can't be done. But as soon as the wind stops, our plan will be carried out, and the hot air balloon that has been prepared for many days should be ready to take off. Jiang Bin shouted.

Song Nan nodded and said, "The opportunity is indeed rare, what are we hesitating about?" Immediately give the order to go down and prepare to cross the river. Ma Ming, prepare the hot air balloon, and the soldiers and horses on the ground will build a covered bridge to cross the river immediately after the bombing begins. ”

The generals agreed in unison, rushed back to the camp to give orders, and after a while, the lifeless camp immediately became noisy, and the soldiers were busy and hot. Thirty-six hot air balloons were divided into three groups, two in the Ming army camp and one in the downstream covered bridge, both of which were deployed with Tartar Condor cannons; Since there is no wind to propel forward, the most old-fashioned method is to first raise the hot air balloon to a height of several feet, and then use a few horses to pull the long rope tied to the hot air balloon to drag hundreds of steps, to give the balloon a starting power, after the rope is released, these hot air balloons will swing all the way to the north shore, and the soldiers above will increase the firepower to raise the height.

After more than half an hour, dozens of hot air balloons were all concocted in the same way, and after a while, they rose to a height of dozens of zhang, and drifted towards the north bank with black and heavy clouds, and the Ming army on the ground also immediately launched action, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming army who were stationed at the site of the bridge in advance were ready to rush across the bridge.

In Linhe County, the Tartar generals who defended here looked at the weather this morning and knew that this was a sign of impending heavy snowfall, and one by one they happily came to the big tent to report the good news, and everyone even looked forward to whether there was a possibility of counterattack when the Ming army on the other side was hungry and cold in the severe cold and snow after this heavy snow fell.

When the discussion was enthusiastic, suddenly a soldier came panting and reported: "I don't know what the Ming army has released, floating across the river from the air, black and with fire." ”

The bald and Tartar generals were a little surprised, and hurriedly came to the city to build a pergola to look at the sky above the river, and saw dozens of black dots floating towards this side, it seemed to be a big round ball hanging under a large bamboo basket, and a figure could be vaguely seen swaying on it in the bamboo basket.

"What's that?" The bald man was stunned.

"When will the Ming army be magical? How did this thing float in the air? This shape doesn't look like a kite, even if it is, how can it float in the air without the slightest wind power? The Tartar generals were also puzzled.

Although I think it's a little incredible, but the bald Meng Ke and others are not too worried, the black dots are clear, but there are only two or three figures on it, and there are only a few dozen people on it, so is the Ming army planning to float over dozens of people and send them to death?

As he spoke, the black, blazing balloons had slowly floated over the fortifications on the north bank, and some Tartar soldiers raised their heads and cursed, and the bows and arrows in their hands were also shooting indiscriminately into the sky, but unfortunately the height was too high, and the things in motion made the arrows pose no threat to these things at all.

A Condor cannon arranged at a commanding height, with the cooperation of several soldiers, raised its barrel, and with a bang, it lit a cannon at the small black floating in the air, and a white smoke was vaguely seen flying away, passing through the middle of the two floating black dots, and the stirring air flow made the two small black dots crooked and swayed for a while.

"Who is firing indiscriminately? Could such expensive ammunition be used to take down this thing? What if you hit it? It's just three or two Ming soldiers. Go, cut down the soldiers who fired the cannons. The bald man scolded angrily.

After this cannon sounded, the small black dot in the air seemed to wake up from the state of headless flies, and the people above desperately shook the two large wind blades that were turning, and slowly floated towards the place where the cannon was fired.

"What are they going to do?" The bald and the generals were confused, and the next scene allowed their questions to be answered, only to see the Ming soldiers in the hanging basket under the black spot raise their hands and drop a few objects from the air, and the things fell to the ground and exploded immediately, with a deafening bang, the ground was blown up into several large craters, and several soldiers could not dodge the skin and flesh that were blown up.

"Oh no, they're trying to destroy our Condor cannon." The bald man came to understand and shouted.

,, exploded around the Condor cannon, and several houses caught fire, killing more than a dozen Tartars, but none of them hit the Condor cannon. The gunners on the left side of the Condor cannon also realized that they were targeted, and they were scrambling to find something to cover the cannon body, and dozens of archers shot arrows into the air in unison, although it was in vain, but at least it was better than doing nothing.

, still did not hit the target, and the soldiers above seemed to realize that the altitude was too high to aim, and even risked being shot by arrows to descend slowly; Finally, at a certain height, two fell next to the Condor cannon, black smoke rose into the air, and after a huge roar, half of the Condor cannon collapsed, and the axles and parts in the rear were deformed by the huge blast impact. Apparently scrapped.

Next, seven or eight more Condor cannons were seen by the Ming army in the air, and they gathered above the Condor cannons like bloodthirsty mosquitoes, and blew these cannons into waste one by one.

"Ahh Seeing this qiēqi jumping like thunder, he shouted repeatedly: "Let them release their arrows, don't let them lower their height, take my golden black bow." ”

"Father Khan, I hurt my body with this bow last time, and I can't use it now." Urus hurriedly dissuaded.

, bald but red eyes, scolded angrily: "Go get it." ”

Urus had no choice but to order someone to get the Golden Crow Bow, shake off the cotton on the body of the bald man, grab the Golden Crow bow and squat with a dull roar, squeak, the Golden Crow bow was slowly pulled apart, turning Bald Mengke's face blood-red, slowly aiming at a hot air balloon flying close to the sky with a hey sound, the bowstring buzzed and vibrate, and the arrow was like an afterimage straight into the sky, hitting the skin of a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon deflated in an instant, and together with the hanging basket below, it fell like a paper kite with a broken string, falling into the ground with a boom and a fire, followed by dozens of violent explosions.

The generals cheered loudly, and when they turned around to congratulate the bald man, they saw that the bald man's face was like gold paper, and a trace of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Great Khan, Great Khan, are you alright?"

The bald man swallowed a stream of blood surging up in his throat, and said in a suppressed voice: "Bring the arrow." ”

"Father Khan, you can no longer use this bow and arrow." Urus shouted.

Throwing the bald and stubborn arm away from Urus, he put on an arrow again and slowly pulled the golden black bow, the bowstring slowly opened, and gradually became a full moon, just when the generals were amazed by the great Khan's bravery, only to hear a 'poof' sound, the bald beast spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell straight to the ground like a broken pocket
