"Since His Highness is unwilling to accept this fang, then, we should prepare for the breakout." Di Meng groaned. "There is a shortage of food and clothing on the mountain, and it will be difficult to hold on to the little baggage brought up by Li Dudu (Li Jinglong leads the title of Governor of the Five Armies' Governor's Office)."

And the guide said that after a little while, when autumn begins, the whole of Ryukyu will no longer be wet. When the time comes, there will be no rain to help, and if the thieves set fire to the mountain, His Highness's safety will be worried. ”

"The last general thinks that when the siege is broken down from the west, ......"

They were able to garrison the mountains precisely because it was the tidal season on Dawan Island at this time, and most of the mountain forests and shrubs were moist and not easy to catch fire. If a thief wants to start a fire, he can only use the power of fire oil...... But after all, the oil can't flow to the mountains.

But if the tide season passes, the trees dry up, and Chen Zuyi and other thieves set fire to the mountain, then they can really only sit and wait for death.

Although the loss of forcibly breaking through will be huge, the few people present are all generals, so they naturally will not pin their hopes on the small probability event that Tang and the Ministry of Sho have come to support.

As a result, more than 1,000 Ming troops chose the western road of the mountain peak and carried out several feints.

The last negotiation also seemed to provoke Chen Zuyi, an unruly bandit, the Ming army broke through several times, Chen Zuyi had a banditry attack, and he was actually the elite of his own army, regardless of the losses, and blocked all the Ming troops back. Most of his minions are Fanren and Nanyang, and the Han are all elite of his cronies.

The Ming army broke through several times, and the people who killed Fanren and Nanyang people did not know how many, and every time they retreated back to the mountain, the mountain was covered by dead corpses, and there were many losses in the Ming army, which made Zhu Su feel distressed.

"Chen Zuyi's style of play is simply life for life!" Chang Mao angrily took off his bloody helmet and airway. "He can see these people as cattle and horses, and our sons can't afford such attrition...... How many people did this thief take? ”

"I'm just afraid...... A lot. Li Jinglong was worried. He has also spent some time on Dawan Island, and he has also heard about the rules of the tribes on the island and the Potbelly Kingdom. "The big-bellied country is still barbaric, and the people are not wise, but where there is a tribe to fight, it is common for the winner to enslave the loser and the whole clan as slaves, Chen Zuyi is powerful, and after landing on the island, he is afraid that he secretly enslaved many people and tribes...... Coupled with its hegemony in Nanyang, those Nanyang people are already numb. I don't know how many cannon fodder there are like this. ”

"In addition, there are sharp weapons such as fierce fire oil, and the terrain is narrow, so we can't open up the formation, and we are blocked at the same time......," Li Jinglong said more and more, the more he felt that the situation was unfavorable. He is also the son of Jiangmen, and he still has the kung fu to talk on paper. “…… If there is no conspiracy, I am afraid that there is little hope. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Su.

"The soldiers are exactly divided, how can there be a conspiracy every time?" Changmao Road. Chen Zuyi also came from Nanyang, and now there is Dingguo Gong stationed on the sea route. His fiery oil is not necessarily endless. ”

"I can make a feint a few more times, and when we have exhausted their fierce fire oil, we will launch a general attack directly...... Are you still afraid that you won't be able to kill all these thieves and break out? ”

Many generals who participated in the deliberations echoed loudly, they didn't know how many people Chen Zuyi had surrendered and enslaved, and they didn't know how much cannon fodder the thieves had in their hands for loss, but it was certain that they would not be able to carry too much fierce fire oil. In fact, when trying to break through now, the frequency of thieves using fierce fire oil to block the road has been greatly reduced, and the fierce fire oil is almost exhausted.

As long as there is no fierce fire oil, even if there are thousands of troops, these generals are confident that they can kill it through.

Zhu Su was a little worried. Although Chen Zuyi is a bandit, he is also as cunning as a fox. If he deceives that the fire fuel runs out, he will suddenly set fire when the Ming army and those cannon fodder are completely mixed together...... What about the Ming army?

He didn't think that Chen Zuyi would care about the lives of these cannon fodder.

When this concern was told to the generals, the generals were silent. This is very likely, but if they can't be sure if the fierce fire oil is exhausted, how can they be sure of the time to break through with all their might?

"If only I had a 'hot air balloon' with me." Li Jinglong said with annoyance. "Take a hot air balloon ride from the sky, and you can jump out of the cage without much effort......"

"The hot air balloon is so fat, if we carry that thing, how can we, the more than a thousand people, pursue the bandits?" Chang Mao didn't have a good airway. The hot air balloon of the Ming army has three parts: a sphere, a basket, and a stove, and the volume is very huge.

“…… There are no hot air balloons, but maybe there is another way to fly the moat? Zhu Su suddenly thought of something and said.

When the generals heard this, they were all stunned. Li Jinglong said happily: "Fifth uncle, do you have a way?" ”

"Our eyes have always been confined to the road on both sides, but we have forgotten the cliffs to the east...... If we could set up a zipline on the other side of the cliff, wouldn't we be able to go around the back of the thieves if we could go down the rope? Zhu Su said.

Everyone thought that Zhu Su, as the inventor of hot air balloons and other things, might be able to create something else that could fly on the spot, but they didn't expect to come up with such an idea, and they couldn't help but be disappointed. Di Meng reminded embarrassedly: "Your Highness, we have also thought about hanging a rope and climbing down the cliff...... But the cliff is as smooth as a wall, and even apes are difficult to climb, how can they climb to the other side of the cliff? ”

"Can't you climb over, can't you fly over?" Zhu Su already had an idea, and stood up. "It's not as far as a hot air balloon, but it's just across the cliff...... This king may be able to do it! ”

……

Even if Zhu Su's means are spiritual, everything on this mountain is lacking, and there is no way to make a hot air balloon. Moreover, the hot air balloon process is complicated, although Zhu Su is nominally the inventor, but in fact, he only drew a design drawing, out of a mouth, the real action production, overcoming one technical difficulty after another, in fact, is a lot of skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, and he Zhou Wang Ye really has not much to do with it.

But if you want to fly, or fly, there is more than just a hot air balloon.

What Zhu Su wants to do is glide. This mountain is lonely, but it also has the advantage of being surrounded by mountains, and the cliff on the east side is also a considerable height difference from this side. And there is also a mountain wind whistling in the middle cliff, from low to high, blowing continuously, non-stop at all times, maybe some kind of valley wind. If you glide past, you can still have the effect of lifting.

Hang gliders are easier to make than hot air balloons, and the materials are more readily available, and the lining of their military tents for camping can be used as the main material for the gliders. As for the wood used to make the skeleton, it is even more widely available in the mountains. As long as one person holds a rope and successfully leaps over the opposite side, after fixing the rope, the Ming army here will naturally be able to cross the rope and leave this Jedi.
