High in the sky.

Zheng Sen was armed with a Type 20 rifle and was shooting at the Jiannu camp below.

In addition to Zheng Sen, there were also the soldiers in charge of driving and two scouts in the gondola of Flying Car No. 1, including Xu Yingwei's brother Xu Yinglong.

A gunshot rang out, and a Jiannu on the ground fell to the ground.

However, what embarrassed Zheng Sen was that he seemed to be aiming at Jiannu next to him.

Thanks to the fact that this military camp below is full of Jiannu, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing if this shot missed.

"Into the mother, this 20-type rifle is good." Zheng Sen smiled awkwardly, "The current height is two hundred steps, but it can still hit and kill Jiannu." ”

Xu Yinglong didn't dismantle Zheng Sen, but said with a smile: "Zheng Zhizhi, do you say that Dolgon will be in this military camp?" ”

"I can only say that there is a possibility." Zheng Sen said while loading the chamber of the gun, "The intelligence of the secret investigation department said that Dolgon did come to Liaodong, but it did not say that he followed the army to Gaizhouwei. ”

"Zheng Zhizhi, captain, look at it." The other scout suddenly shouted.

"A group of slaves came out of the big tent down there, and one of them was dressed in a mink coat."

"I'll see, where?" Xu Yinglong raised the binoculars and soon found the Jiannu wearing a mink fur, and was in a hurry to avoid it with the support of the other two Jiannu, this should be a big man.

At that moment, Xu Yinglong raised his rifle and aimed at the big man of Jiannu.

A moment later, Xu Yinglong pulled the trigger, and a gunshot rang out in his ears.

looked at it again, but saw that the other Jiannu who was following the Jiannu big man had fallen to the ground.

The distance of two hundred steps is still a little far, and the flying car No. 1 is not very stable in the air, so this shot just now failed to hit the target.

"Zheng Zhizhi, why don't you drop some height?"

Xu Yinglong boasted of his excellent marksmanship, and his face was a little unbearable.

"No, Jiannu also has a flintlock pistol." Zheng Sen said categorically, "If the altitude is low, we will be in danger." ”

As he spoke, two dazzling red lights suddenly bloomed on the ground, and then there was a crackling sound on the bottom of the hanging basket, like dense raindrops hitting the plantain leaves.

There was also a pop of the hull overhead.

The silk hull already has a lot of holes.

But fortunately, these small holes have little effect on the speed.

"Holy!" Zheng Sen burst out with a foul language that he learned from Chongzhen.

"Gou Jiannu has learned smartly, and he actually thought of fighting the tiger squat cannon, go quickly, and raise the height!"

The soldier in charge of controlling the flying car shook the handle with all his strength, and the wooden propeller at the end of the gondola began to rotate whirring, urging the flying car to fly forward.

At the same time, the fire in the furnace was even stronger.

More hot air puffed into the hull of the speeding car.

Immediately afterward, the hull of the boat, which had been stationed, rose again.

It's just that there are too many Tiger Squat Cannons in Jiannu, and there are hundreds!

The tiger squat cannon was originally inaccurate, and it was loaded with shotguns, and it was even more inaccurate to shoot when it was erected, but it couldn't hold too many of them, so a huge shotgun barrage was formed, which was still very terrifying.

Fortunately, the bottom plate of the gondola has a certain defensive ability.

In addition, the ascent is also timely, so it is not a big problem.

However, the other speeding car seems to be in trouble.

"Zheng Zhizhi, the body of Flying Car No. 2 seems to be broken!" The driver shouted abruptly.

When Zheng Sen heard this, he hurriedly looked back, only to see that the tail of the body of the flying car No. 2 had broken a big hole, which was probably broken by the shotgun of the Jiannu Tiger Squatting Cannon, and a large amount of hot gas was bubbling out.

The driver of Flying Car 2 is desperately trying to increase the fire.

But to no avail, Flying Car 2 was still slowly falling to the ground.

At this rate, it will force a landing on the ground in a maximum of five minutes.

But it is impossible for Flying Car 2 to fly back to Gaizhou at this time.

"Keep up!" Zheng Sen ordered with a dark face, "Keep up with Flying Car No. 2." ”

The crockpot did not break away from the well, and the general would inevitably die in battle, although Zheng Sen had been mentally prepared, but when the flying car No. 2 was really shot down by Jiannu, he still felt a little unacceptable.

……

Dolgon was fleeing in embarrassment with the support of Cao Eryu and Hou Fangyu, and Meng could hear cheers behind him.

Immediately, Hou Fangyu also cheered: "Master, it fell, the Kong Ming lantern of the Ming Dog fell, no, it was knocked down by our tiger squat cannon." ”

"Really?" Dolgon turned around and looked back, and sure enough, he saw that a Kong Ming lantern of the Ming army was slowly falling.

Cao Eryu estimated it and said excitedly: "At this falling speed, it will definitely not be able to return to Gaizhou City, and if nothing else, it should land in the field not far ahead." ”

Hearing this, Dorgon immediately became excited.

"Herald." Dolgon said excitedly, "Let the Eight Banners Mongolia catch up!" Snatch this Kong Ming lantern back from me! ”

From the day he was bombed by the Ming army's Kong Ming lantern on the south bank of the Hunhe River two months ago, Dolgon hated this thing very much, and at the same time coveted it, dreaming of having the same Kong Ming lantern.

It's a pity that none of the Manchu Han ministers will make it.

But today, the Qing Dynasty finally had a chance to capture a large Kong Ming lantern.

As long as there is one Kong Ming lantern, Daqing can make more Kong Ming lanterns.

"Huh!" Cao Eryu knelt on the ground and beat a thousand, and hurriedly went to deliver the edict to the Eight Banners Mongolia.

Soon, thousands of Eight Banners of Mongolia galloped out of the large array and chased in the direction where Kong Ming's lantern was descending.

……

Flying Car 2 ended up in the field.

Because of the severe air leakage, the huge body also deflated.

Flying Car 1 followed and landed nearby, trying to rescue him.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Zheng Sen yelled.

However, the soldier on the No. 2 car said: "Zheng advises, the No. 1 car can't take the four of us away." ”

"!" Zheng Sen said angrily, "Flying Car No. 1 is more than enough for 8 people. ”

"If you take the four of us, you have to throw away the tung oil, and the No. 1 flying car won't fly far."

"Shut up, you don't need to think about this, hurry up and get in the car!"

"Zheng Zhizhi, you guys go quickly, the Jiannu cavalry is coming."

"I order you to get in the car quickly, immediately!"

"Zheng Zhizhi, please forgive us for not being able to receive the order."

At this point, the two soldiers and the two scouts of Flying Car No. 2 pulled out their sleeve bayonets from their waists at the same time, unloaded the bullet pouch on their shoulders, and threw them onto Flying Car No. 1 along with the Type 20 rifle.

Throwing away their rifles, the four men turned to face the Jiannu cavalry with bayonets in hand.

In the wilderness ahead, thousands of Jiannu cavalry are sweeping in.

Long live the Ming Dynasty! The four roared angrily and charged at the Jiannu cavalry.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Sen's eyes immediately turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Liftoff!" ”

The driver did his best to turn the fire to the maximum, and the flying car No. 1 rose quickly.

After rising to more than fifty steps, the Jiannu cavalry rushed to within 100 steps, and Zheng Sen took Xu Yinglong and another scout to fire at the same time, shooting three Jiannu.

But that's all they can do.

The Jiannu cavalry came over like a tide and soon drowned the 4 Ming troops.

Immediately, the Jiannu cavalry surrounded the No. 2 Regiment of the flying car and circled around the flying car.

Xu Yinglong said worriedly: "Zheng Zhizhi, we should burn the flying car No. 2." ”

"It's okay, don't burn it." Zheng Sen said, "Let Jiannu also build a flying car." ”

Once the flying car is shot down, it does not need to be burned, this is specially explained by the saint, and Zheng Sen also knows that the intention of the saint to do this is to consume the financial and material resources of Jiannu.

……

"This is the Ming Army's large Kong Ming lantern?"

Dolgon looked at the pile of silk cloth and a rattan basket in front of him, and wondered how such a broken thing could lift several people into the air.

However, there were also wise people among the ministers of Jiannu.

"Master, Kong Ming Lantern is actually nothing unusual."

"It can go up because there is tung oil to provide heat."

"I can fly forward because of this wooden dragonfly."

"These wooden gears in the middle should be speed regulated."

Ning Wan quickly figured out the reason for this, and said, "The minister can also make it." ”

"Ning Qing, you can also make it?" Dolgon was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then hurry up and build ten for the Qing Dynasty, no, just build a hundred Kong Ming lanterns, I want the sky to be full of Kong Ming lanterns of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Thinking that the sky was densely covered with the Kongming lanterns of the Qing Dynasty, and these Kongming lanterns could also rain on the heads of the Ming army and throw thousands of enemies, Dolgon was inexplicably excited.

However, Ning Wan shook his head and continued, "But there is a difficulty. ”

"What's the difficulty?" Dorgon said angrily, "Come quickly, as long as I can do it, I can't be sure." ”

"It's just that this light yarn is rare." Ning Wan pulled the Kong Ming lampshade hard, and said helplessly, "You must have the best light yarn woven by lake silk, which is not only light but also extremely tough." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Dolgon said, "I asked the Jin merchants to buy it from Nanming. ”

Anyway, the Qing Dynasty now has silver, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy enough high-grade lake silk?

Immediately, Dolgon's gaze fell on the four socket bayonets that were laid out in a row.

Frowning, Dolgon turned his head and asked Tang Ruowang, who had just come to Liaodong, "Tang Qing, can't I really match every self-generated fire gun with a socket bayonet?" ”

Tang Ruowang said helplessly: "It can be done, but it is time-consuming." ”

"How many hours can it take?" Dorgon frowned and said, "The self-generated fire gun with a bayonet can be used as a spear directly, and it is much more useful than the self-generated fire gun with a bow and arrow or a horse chopping knife. ”

Tang Ruowang said: "The outer diameter of the barrel of the self-generated fire gun and the inner diameter of the sleeve bayonet are polished to the same level to meet the interchangeable standard, then the man-hours required to build each self-generated fire gun will be at least doubled, and the current military bureau of our Qing Dynasty can produce 3,000 self-made fire guns per month, and if you add a matching barrel bayonet, you can only build up to 1,500 pieces." ”

"That's right." Dolgon's brow furrowed, "Is there no other way?" ”

Tang Ruowang said: "Back to the imperial father regent, I'm afraid there is no other way." ”
