Chapter 536: Air Raid Begins
At Topkapi Palace, Muhad had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a commotion.
"I have an urgent military situation and need to meet His Majesty immediately!"
"Lord Kasha, His Majesty has just fallen asleep, what is there to wait for tomorrow......"
"I can't wait for tomorrow, I have to wait now!"
"But ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, Constantinople is in danger, and if you don't take action, it's too late!"
Muhad opened his sleepy eyes and was on fire.
Whoever is eating hot pot and singing songs is suddenly beaten to the door of the house, it is a sad story.
Killing people is not enough, and now I can't sleep?
Destroy, tired!
Hafez had already rushed in and shouted, "Your Majesty, something big is going to happen!" ”
Muhad looked at him helplessly and said, "What can't we say tomorrow, is the sky falling?" ”
"Yes, the sky is falling!"
Hafiz nodded solemnly and added, "The Ming army is likely to attack from the sky!" ”
Muhad was a little confused, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and secretly said in his heart, is it fierce?
The Ming army attacked from the sky...... Could it be that the Orientals can use magical witchcraft and fly into the sky?
Hafez pulled Hanuman and said, "You come and go!" ”
"Huh?"
Hanuman was stunned, what am I talking about?
"What are you doing in a daze, tell me how that war letter was sent to the city!"
"Yes...... It was floated in from heaven......"
Hanuman stammered to explain what had happened, and Muhad wondered: "It is not difficult for a kite to fly into the city, what does that mean?" ”
"Your Majesty!"
Hafez looked distressed and said, "Since kites can carry war letters, can't they carry bombs?" ”
Only then did Muhad react and muttered, "You mean...... Will the Easterners tie bombs to kites and fly into the city? ”
"Exactly!"
"That'...... What should I do? ”
"Immediately issue an edict, and the whole city is on alert!"
Muhad scratched his head and said, "If the Easterners really attack from the sky, how can we defend it?" ”
The current situation is beyond his cognition, even if he sees through the offensive methods of the Ming army, what can he do?
The defenders in the city can't fly, how to defend themselves?
Hafez sighed and said: "There is no good way at present, however, the ammunition carried by the Ming army is limited, Your Majesty immediately issued a warning, informing the people in the city to find cover and hide, minimize casualties, and wait for the Ming army's offensive to pass, and then organize troops to counterattack." ”
Muhad's eyes were glazed, and after a long time, he said: "Give an edict!" ”
——
"The direction of the wind, due southeast, is less than ten degrees."
"Wind, level 5 is on the upper side."
"The wind speed is stable, you can fly!"
The manned Kong Ming lantern in charge of the investigation fell, and Mei Chun began to summarize the data, ignoring Fan Mingchen who was sitting on the ground.
Seeing the calculation results, Bei Lin immediately ordered: "The data is no problem, according to the established location and time, prepare to release Kong Ming lanterns!" ”
The students of the Academy of Sciences acted in a tense and orderly manner, assembling the Kong Ming lanterns, carrying bombs, and setting the length of the leads.
With the exact parameters, the flight time of the Kong Ming lantern can be calculated, as well as the tipping point.
At this time, Fan Mingchen held the anemometer tightly in his hand, looking at the spinning chicken head, and felt a chill in his heart.
It's so scary, it's flying into the sky!
There was only a quarter of an hour left before the attack, and everyone was nervously preparing, repeatedly checking the length of the lead to ensure that the Kong Ming lantern could be detonated at the designated position.
Tong Xuan took a few people to load the large Kong Ming lantern, everything was ready, and with a flick of the corner of his eye, he saw Fan Mingchen who was still trembling, so he walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Ahh
Fan Mingchen almost jumped up, and when he saw that it was Tong Xuan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Tong Xuan smiled and said, "What's the matter, scared?" ”
"How so?"
Fan Mingchen subconsciously retorted: "I...... How could I be afraid of ......"
"Why are the pants wet?"
"The sea breeze is heavy, the humidity is ......"
Fan Mingchen suddenly blushed to the base of his neck, fortunately, the black light was blind, and others couldn't see it.
Through this test flight, he personally felt what it means to be cold in high places, and he couldn't help but look at these powerless students.
I thought that the Academy of Sciences relied on a mess of new inventions, which was nothing more than a use of my brain, but now it seems that I am so ignorant.
He stood up tremblingly, and secretly said in his heart, he had better do the promising job of guarding!
"I'll go to the periphery...... Look, you're busy! ”
Tong Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw him trembling when he walked, and then beckoned, "Wait a minute!" ”
"Huh?"
Fan Mingchen turned his head, not knowing what to say.
Tong Xuan pointed to the anemometer in his hand and said, "Do you still use it?" ”
"No, no need......"
Fan Mingchen smiled awkwardly, handed the anemometer to Tong Xuan, and then turned to leave.
The hourglass is slowly leaking, which means that the attack is about to begin.
Belin decisively ordered: "The first batch, release!" ”
The camp was lit up with glowing lights, and Kong Ming lanterns carrying bombs began to rise into the air.
Under each lampshade, a swarthy iron ball hangs, all of which are high-energy yellow powder bombs.
The lead of the bomb was connected to the wick, which was locked with a special machine buckle.
According to calculations, when these Kong Ming lanterns floated over the city of Constantinople, the fuses would ignite and the bombs would fall off.
The southeast wind was very steady, and the first batch of 200 Kong Ming lanterns slowly rose and drifted to the northwest.
In the night sky, a large number of sparkling lights suddenly appeared, flying towards Constantinople.
It was midnight and people were asleep.
Suddenly, a hurried bell rang from the city, and a large number of soldiers appeared in the streets, holding gongs in their hands, and banging in all directions.
"His Majesty the King has an order, everyone should find bunkers on the spot and prepare emergency medicines......"
The people of the city woke up and did not know what had happened.
Why do you have to find a bunker and prepare emergency medicine, is it the Ming army that has entered the city?
The crowd was in a panic, not knowing what to do.
Hafiz has climbed the bell tower, the tallest building in Constantinople.
Here, you can see the whole city in full swing.
He took out a monocular and searched outside the city......
If the Ming army really attacked from the sky, it should be ready at this time.
Suddenly, he shook his whole body because he saw a camp in the southeast, with lights on.
Hafiz stared at the light in the telescope, trying to discern it, and then saw the sparkling fireflies begin to rise into the sky and float in his direction.
In the night sky, these faint starlights were inconspicuous, but he knew that great disaster was coming.
"It's over, it's over......"
Hafez suddenly lost strength in his legs and sat down on the ground, muttering to himself.
