? 7 Cheng Chumo and others have seen hot air balloons before. The hot air balloon is very big, but the basket below is actually not that big. It is possible for two people and one horse, but it is really a bit reluctant.
¡°That¡¯s right, just use hot air balloons to transport people and horses directly there.¡±
Cheng Chumo was stunned. Oh my god, Mr. Zhao¡¯s idea is really scary.
"ThisI will work hard."
Cheng Chumo also nodded vigorously.
Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Chubi again: "Chu Bi, you mainly practice the gunpowder you brought with the craftsmen, and also teach Chu Mo and Huai Dao. Once you do these, you'll be ready."
"yes!"
Several people took the order and went to prepare for training.
The most important thing is the hot air balloon, but the hot air balloon cannot be raised in the city. Firstly, the space in the city is small, and secondly, it is likely to cause confusion among the Tibetan army in the distance.
Looking for an open space on the side of the rear, Qin Qiong also personally pointed out fifty cavalrymen. They were all real elite soldiers, and their weapons and armor were all ready in one step.
¡°Old Qin, there were Yanyun¡¯s Eighteen Cavalry before, this time it¡¯s the Qin Family¡¯s Fifty Cavalry.¡±
"Mr. Zhao, don't laugh at me."
Zhao Chen laughed.
At night, several hot air balloons have rapidly expanded and are about to take off.
"Before blindfolding the horse, otherwise the horse will be afraid. The key is to soothe the horse's emotions. Also pay attention to the wind direction. The wind direction may change. Use the raising and lowering methods to take advantage of the wind direction in time."
"It doesn't matter if the landing point is far away, you can gather again."
Zhao Chen carefully explained it again, and also let them practice during the day, and even arranged for specially trained people to board the hanging basket together.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao."
Soon, the hot air balloon rose, and there was not one hot air balloon, but twenty.
In the hanging basket, the horses have been covered with black cloth and stand quietly in the hanging basket. In the remaining space, there are elite cavalry wearing armor and servants trained by the Zhao family.
In a hanging basket somewhere, Qin Qiong looked at the hot air balloon that was gradually rising. The scene in the distance below turned dark.
"Mr. Zhao's invention is truly miraculous."
A servant next to him smiled and said: "General Qin, be careful. It's windy at night. This hot air balloon mainly relies on wind power to move."
"good."
Twenty hot-air balloons took off, getting higher and higher. Cheng Chumo and the others looked up and saw that the hot-air balloons seemed to merge with the night sky.
It has been cloudy in recent days and the moonlight has been relatively dim, making it difficult to see the road clearly. In addition, once the hot air balloon rises, it is impossible to see the scene above.
"It's hard to tell it's a hot air balloon."
Qin Huaidao was full of surprises: "And the Tubo people have never seen a hot air balloon, so they won't doubt it."
Zhao Chen shook his folding fan: "I hope there will be no accidents and we will land safely."
The hot air balloon was slowly blown towards the Gansong Ridge in the north by the force of the wind. Below Ziah, you can still see the brightly lit Tubo camp with torches.
Qin Qiong looked at the tents below and saw that the tents were neat and tidy, with soldiers patrolling in formation, especially the front. Not only had trenches been dug, but many tripping ropes had also been prepared.
"Mr. Zhao is right, Tubo did focus most of its attention and troops on the front."
Qin Qiong watched silently. The Tibetan soldiers below did not even notice the hot air balloon floating high in the sky above.
Hot air balloons flew past one after another. Somewhere in the camp, a Tibetan soldier who was peeing looked up and saw a hot air balloon with the help of the moonlight that accidentally showed up.
He wrote something in a jittery voice, and then immediately knelt down and knelt down to worship devoutly.
He may have thought he saw a god.
When they arrived at Gansong Ridge, the servants on the hot air balloon began to cool down the flames in the stove. The hot air balloon slowly descended, but it was still blowing to the north due to the wind.
The hot air balloon continued to descend. The servant stuck out his head and paid attention to the scene below. When he saw that the bottom was relatively flat, he lowered it. Otherwise, it would be very bad if it hit the trees.
Landing safely, Qin Qiong walked out of the ground, and the horse also let him step out.
The other soldiers also got out of the hanging basket and gathered directly.
"We are really at the rear of Gansong Ridge."
One soldier sighed.
And next, all they need to do is wait quietly,This is just the first batch, and another batch is needed to complete the fifty cavalry.
The servants are also waiting slowly. Generally speaking, the wind direction will change once at night. With this time, the hot air balloon can return to Songzhou City.
When they felt the change in the wind direction in the second half of the night, they raised the hot air balloon again and flew towards Songzhou City.
One day passed like this.
The next day, after Songtsen Gampo woke up, he immediately called the scouts to find out what was going on in Songzhou City. The result was that there was no movement at all and not even the city gate was opened.
"Is Zhao Chen really showing off?"
Songtsen Gampo was a little puzzled, but he always felt that Zhao Chen had some conspiracy in doing this.
"Go down."
Songtsen Gampo could only wave people down, but there was no movement in Songzhou City, so he could only continue to wait.
"We'll wait a few more days. If there's no movement, we'll withdraw our troops."
At the very least, he can¡¯t be delayed until reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive.
Songtsen Gampo was still very sober.
On this side of Songzhou City, the city is already filled with the aroma of stewed meat, and all the soldiers are sitting here, eating meat.
"Mr. Zhao, you came from Chang'an and you actually brought meat with you?"
"That's natural. How can the meat here be as delicious as the meat from my Zhao Manor?"
Zhao Chen took a bite and said, "We're marching and fighting, so we can't bear the consequences."
After finishing eating, the servants went to rest and quietly waited for the evening.
At night, they followed the same example and sent the second batch of cavalry over. This time, thirty hot air balloons took off at the same time, which was also spectacular.
Before coming here, Zhao Chen asked the hot air balloon factory to increase its efforts, so it also produced a lot.
This time, the cavalry behind Gansong Ridge is almost in place.
Fifty cavalry is sometimes enough. When Gan Ning went to rob a camp, he only brought a hundred cavalry with him.
After the first move is arranged, the next step is the second move.
It¡¯s daytime on the third day.
Zhao Chen looked at the craftsmen in front of him and took out a dozen large boxes.
"Mr. Zhao, don't worry. According to your instructions, Zhao Manor has basically brought all the gunpowder it can bring, and the effect is guaranteed to be very good."
A craftsman said again: "According to your instructions, we also added various items to the gunpowder, such as glass. This kind of gunpowder is placed in the glass. Once it explodes, the glass will spatter, causing a lot of damage." Kill."
"There is also this kind of gunpowder. As long as it explodes, the blade inside will eject."
Zhao Chen had a strange look on his face. He let the craftsmen who were researching gunpowder work freely. Unexpectedly, the technology was wrong.
But it looks good, right?
The next step is to wait for tonight.
Zhao Chen opened his folding fan and looked in the direction of the Tubo camp:
Songtsen Gampo, tonight, your history will be rewritten! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
