This is Li Zhao's temporary idea, and of course, it is also an effective way to deal with the current predicament.

80,000 city defense troops can surround Shanglinyuan, even if they don't attack, they will be trapped in Shanglinyuan; In the event of an attack, they could attack from four directions, and the number of 1,000 elite and 500 artillery was too small, and if they were to be taken into account separately, their forces would be greatly weakened, and there was a certain risk that they would not be able to support them.

However, if you fight in the air, it will be different, no matter how many people there are in the city defense army, throwing grenades in the air, the number of people is a burden.

As for how to fight in the air, hot air balloons can be purchased from department stores to carry people to fight in the air.

The weapons of the city defense army have a certain high range of strong crossbows, but if you let the hot air balloon fly a little higher, even if the strong crossbow is not enough, but throwing grenades in the air does not have many restrictions on the height, which is a great advantage.

Of course, their artillery is also somewhat powerful, with a range of 500 paces, which is not much different from a strong crossbow, and it is believed that it poses no threat to hot air balloons from 800 paces, and hot air balloons can fly at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.

A thousand meters, a distance beyond the reach of the dust.

This is a one-sided killing method of warfare.

"Aerial combat?" The guard looked at the sky and couldn't understand what the young master said, but how could he guess the young master's thoughts, so he didn't dare to ask more, and continued to investigate the news.

Li Zhao hurriedly walked back, first found Meng Yi, and asked him to move five hundred red-clothed cannons to the city wall, and disperse them to all sides to wait for him.

The range of more than two miles is enough to deter the Qin army, but the number is too small, and it has to be taken into account on all sides, so it has to be dispersed very widely, this is a fly in the ointment, if the Qin army did not discover the power of the red-coated cannon, the striking strength must be considerable, but after a long time, they groped for the range of the red-coated cannon, and avoided it far away, and the power was greatly reduced.

Of course, this can also make them dare not attack rashly for a while.

But after a long time, it may not work, it is always too scattered is the weakness of the red-coated artillery, as long as they seize this weakness and attack, there will always be a time to break the defense.

And with the heater attacking in the air, it is different, the range of more than two miles blocks the Qin army three miles away, the heater takes the opportunity to throw grenades in the air, attacking in two directions, and killing them in the direction, is it not to kill them to lose their armor?

Even if they have a tiger squat cannon, they have no chance to play.

After figuring this out, Li Zhao immediately asked people to find no fist to come to the test site, but he was the first to come alone, and found a no-man's land to enter the system department store to find a suitable hot air balloon.

A few quarters of an hour later, a hundred hot air balloons were purchased.

The balloons were placed like parachutes aside, with the air engines and bamboo baskets underneath, and he deliberately bought them large enough to hold more grenades, but not too much, taking into account the carrying capacity of the balloons.

When Wuquan came, he was attracted by these hundred strange things, and hurriedly asked Li Zhao: "Young Master, what is this?" ”

"Hot air balloons!"

Li Zhao didn't have time to explain so much to him, so he hurriedly asked him to find a hundred guards.

He originally wanted to find two hundred guards, but considering the limited number of guards and the load of the hot air balloon, he changed it to one hot air balloon.

At present, the guards of Shanglin Yuan are very scarce, most of them have been sent out to find out the news, and only a small number of them are left behind.

But the young master anxiously ordered Ling Wuquan not to slack off, and left in a hurry, bringing a hundred people after half an hour.

The hundred people were all well-trained guards, all of them were sturdy, and their eyes were even brighter, Li Zhao was very satisfied, so he gathered them all around, and he wanted to explain how to use the hot air balloon.

"Now young master, I don't have time to say so much to you, but I want to tell you one thing is that the Qin army is about to surround Shanglin Yuan, and I have encountered an unprecedented crisis in Shanglin Yuan."

Everyone's faces were gloomy, and they all became indignant, Shang Lin Yuan was threatened, they were threatened, they inherited Lin Yuan's grace, and even if they died, they had to protect Lin Yuan.

"But young master, I can't just watch Shanglin Yuan being threatened, we have to resist, we have to let Qin Jun know our unyieldingness, and know that we are not easy to bully."

"Yes, we are not easy to bully, swear to defend me to the death in Lin Yuan."

The guards were intrigued, and they were all outraged.

"Uh-huh! At this moment, your chance to defend me to go to the forest garden has come. ”

Li Zhao raised his hand and clenched his fists in the air, and the guards also clenched their fists, shouting: "I will defend Shanglin Yuan." ”

But the words are so loud, but it seems a little powerless.

When the Qin army attacked, they also heard the wind, and heard that there were as many as 80,000 people, and there were artillery, on the other hand, there were only a few more than 1,000 people, although they had big killing weapons, but the number was too small! Stretch your sleeves.

Even if they could defeat the Qin army with one as ten, the disparity in numbers was too great.

However, Li Zhao's next words made their eyes light up, and their confidence soared in vain.

"See this?" Li Zhao pointed to the hot air balloon behind him, "It's your guarantee to defend my Lin Yuan, the hot air balloon." ”

"This ball will allow you to fight the Qin army in the air."

Fighting in the air?

The crowd was confused, they had heard of fighting in the water, artillery, bows and crossbows, sieges, but they had never heard of air battles.

How to fight in the air? Not to mention that they can't fly, even if they can, they can't pose a threat to 80,000 people! Unless they have a big killing weapon.

But the problem is that they can't fly at all, and even if they have a big killing weapon, they can't do anything.

Wuquan is also full of questions, he only knows that the thing behind him is called a hot air balloon, but he doesn't know how to use the hot air balloon and what it does, but he doesn't talk much, listen carefully, he knows what the young master will say.

Sure enough, the young master's next words made their confidence soar again.

"The biggest function of this hot air balloon is to ascend to the sky, have you seen that bamboo basket?" Pointing to the bamboo basket under the heater, "You can enter it, and then start the heater, and the balloon will be inflated and take you to the sky." ”

He pointed to the heater again.

Everyone understood, the young master meant that sitting on this bamboo basket and activating the iron pimple would make him fly.

This seems to be a bit of a fantasy, and there are still flying things in the world?

This hot air balloon is not a big bird.

But this is what the young master said, no one will doubt it, there are too many miracles brought by the young master, fly, it should be possible! Although they have never seen it.

Wuquan was very interested, and the first one stepped forward to Li Zhao's side, and arched his hand: "Young master, let Wuquan give it a try." ”

He saw everyone's puzzled expressions, and he was about to make a demonstration, even though he had never sat on it.

"Well, I'll let you try."

Li Zhao patted Wuquan on the shoulder, let him enter the bamboo basket, and let him press the switch, and soon, the heat engine started, igniting a raging fire, and the heat rose instantly.

After the hot air continues to bless, the hot air balloon rapidly expands and rises in the air.

This scene was so bizarre that everyone's eyes never left the air, looking at the big and swollen thing.

The hot air balloon swelled to a certain extent, and it staggered, quickly tightened the rope, and then slowly broke away from the ground and rose into the air.

The next moment, the bamboo basket was also driven, and it also rose as the hot air balloon rose.

"Fly, fly, really fly."

When everyone saw it, they all showed shock.

They had never thought that people could fly, and they had never seen the wings of a bird soar, this young master was so capable of tossing, too powerful, and every thing he took out was so shocking.

"You can fly higher."
