Chapter 239 Bombing Coba City(1/2)

June of the eighth year of Xiangxing, on the fifteenth night...

The moon is as big as a plate.

In the mountains, forests and valleys, which are only three hundred miles away from the Mayan city-state, Coba, are brightly lit!

The 50,000 elite troops in the front office of the Great Song Dynasty had secretly sneaked into this place and set up camps. They just waited for the command of the hall commander to march towards Koba City.

At this time, there were still nineteen days before the one-month period when Ning Wang boasted about Haikou.

....

Under the shadow of the moonlight and torches, tens of thousands of soldiers were watching the open space temporarily opened at the bottom of the valley. There were sixteen huge hot-air boats, which were already swelling and ready to go.

Jiang Zheng was dressed in military uniform and had a solemn face. He stood in front of the sixteen flying boats and reminded the people who went on the war: "This place is 300 miles away from Koba City. It takes 6 hours for the Marquis to spend on the road, but you should be more careful!"

Although the hot air balloons of the third generation of the Song Dynasty were equipped with mature propeller technology, their speed was still not comparable to those of later generations. At full speed, they could only reach the limit of one hundred miles per hour. Calculated in later generations, they were 25 kilometers per hour.

To say you don't worry, that's fake.

"This trip is just to explore the way, and do not seek to hurt the enemy. Don't seek perfection in everything!"

Wang Wulang, Zhao Youqin, Liu Derou, Deng Mu and others who were preparing to board the boat opposite, focused on the key points, "District coach Don't worry, killing the enemy is not our director, so I will take this trip in person to explore the way."

Jiang Jin nodded when he heard this and was very pleased, "It's so good that the flying boat is fighting for the Song Dynasty. Many of the difficulties still need to be verified, otherwise he would not dare to let the public take risks..."

There is no way to let these people go first.

Although the technology of hot air balloons has become more perfect, no one knows what problems will arise in actual application. Therefore, this trip, a group of great craftsmen almost came out and went with the team.

Among them, Wang Wulang is naturally the leader. If any problems arise in the hot air balloon in the sky, he, the inventor, must know and solve them as soon as possible.

Zhao Youqin and Deng Mu were personally responsible for the observation, while the other used a sextant to locate the distance measurement! Ensure that the hot air balloon could accurately find Koba City and return safely.

As for Liu Derou... he is a gunpowder expert and one of the essential main characters.

After all, Da Song has never played bomb drops at high altitudes, and now there is only one problem that can be thought of, that is, the time for explosion after bomb drops is difficult to grasp.

Nowadays, there are not as advanced aviation bombs as later generations. You can blow them at any height. The thrown thunder and fire bombs must be ignited by open flames, and the length of the fuse is used to control the explosion.

Simply put, if the fuse is short, the bomb will explode if it does not land in the sky, and it will lose its lethality! If the fuse is too long, it will also be a problem if it hits the ground and does not explode.

Liu Derou's role is to determine the bomb drop height and fuse length based on the actual situation of Coba City to ensure that every bomb dropped exerts its maximum power.

The tens of thousands of soldiers in the rear will serve as the rear of sixteen flying boats in the next five days, adjust their strategies at any time, and provide logistical support for the first major bombing in history.

To put it bluntly.

Although the direction of using the Air Force as the main offensive force this time has been decided, no one has used this tactic before, and crossing the river by feeling the stones!!

No one knows what will happen on the spot. After discussing, all of these people will go! It’s a problem for Xu Liang...

The father of artillery completely became a young wife and was no longer welcome. He was hiding behind and was in a panic.

...

At this time, Jiang Jin had given all the instructions, and he didn't talk nonsense. He waved his hand and said, "Go away!!"

Immediately, the turbulent blowtorch of the sixteen flying boats burst out! After a while, as the first flying boat slowly took off...

Sixteen shuttle-shaped orbs, like night charm, flew silently toward Coba City.

Among them, except for the flagships that carry digital important figures and do not load a large amount of ammunition.

Among the other fifteen flying boats, all of them were four crew members, with a load capacity of 400 kilograms.

The four crew members are a helmsman in charge of the direction, two powerers driving the propeller, and one bomb dropper who is specialized in bomb dropping.

The ammunition loaded was also varied, including thunder and fire bombs, flares, incendiary bombs, etc., and even the kind of sinister-filled thunder that Zhao Wei even complained about in the early Song Dynasty.

Anyway, if this were thrown on the head of Coba City, it would be enough for the Coba people to drink a pot.

Moreover, the bombing of such a bomb drop will last for five days!!

Until all the Koba warriors around the city were attracted into the city.

....

———————

In the eighth year of Xiangxing, on the morning of June 16th.

There are eighteen days left before the one-month period...

The majestic ancient city of Koba is bathed in the misty morning mist in the rainforest.

At this time, there were many people gathered in the Sun Temple, which should have been empty.

They had a noble status, including the priests of the Kingdom of Coba and the leaders of various surrounding tribes.

The reason they gather here is because the Coba people are not completely unprepared.

Two days ago, the messenger sent back to the king of Coba kingdom in Kirigua, had arrived and conveyed a surprising message.

The Song people threatened to launch an attack on Koba City!!

The king ordered the high priest to summon all the warriors of the kingdom to resist this possible crisis.

As for how to resist...

The king has also issued an order!! The brave and fearless Koba people will not be afraid of threats from alien races. They will let the Song people understand who is the king in this rain forest!!

And the slaughter obviously did not intend to sit and wait for the Song people to come to the door.

He was not a fool, putting himself in danger. So...... He took the command of the high priest. Among all the soldiers of Koba, in addition to the necessary left-behind combat power, the high priest was commanded and advanced into Kirigua!!

Yes... I didn't plan to wait for the Song people to fight to Koba City!

The preparations for Coba City are not to be prepared to defend against the enemy.

They must take the initiative to attack! Let the army join Duna, set the decisive battle in Kirigua, or simply turn the enemy and fight to Xinya Mountain!

The Koba people knew very well that if the Song people wanted to fight Koba, the inevitable route was to go from Xinyashan to Kirigua, and then go south to Koba.

Instead of waiting for the Song people to attack, it is better to let the army follow the Song people's march route. It is best to arrive at Jiligua before the Song people's army arrives.

By then, not only will the king's safety be guaranteed, but Kirigua, who is at the city, will also be their possession!!

Even if the people of Tikal and Chichen Itza are obsessed with it, they will still betray their faith. They will also solve it together. At that time, the king will no longer be Koba's king...

He will become the largest king of Maya! Even the only king of Maya!!

"The decision to seize the king is wise, and our ancestors and gods will definitely bless our king."

"My tribe!! It's just that we don't have much time left!!"

Coba's high priest was a strong woman. In fact, she also had another identity as one of her wives. Her face was solemn and motivated everyone.

"Our Wang is in danger! If the Koba warriors cannot arrive in time, the Wang General is in crisis. We must arrive in Kirigua before the Song people!!"

After the high priest said that, another woman stood up, and he was also one of the wives who seized the throne and the leader of the King* team.

She first knelt down to the Feather Snake God, and then said, "The soldiers in the royal city are ready and can set off at any time."

"Each tribe should also take action as soon as possible, two days!! The warriors gather within two days! That will be the date of going to war!!"

Only the leader of a small tribe spoke, "Don't worry, High Priest, let's go back and summon the warriors and set off in two days!! Go and kill all the aliens who blasphemed the gods!"

"And... the high priest doesn't have to worry too much about the king's comfort. I have been to the city-state of the Song people, and they do not have the determination of us Koba people. In short, we may have already captured Kirigua, and their army has just been assembled, so it may not be possible to leave Xinyashan... The Song people pay great attention to the order (program) and they are very slow... If you don't believe what King Ning said, you want to capture Kochen in a month? I see whether he can go to war in a month is a problem."

"Is that?" the high priest brows slightly, "I don't know the Song people. You who enter the Song people's territory can say more, this will help defeat the Song people."

Another person said, "Dada is right! My tribe members are also in Xinya Mountain. According to them, the Song army, even if a small group of people left the city, must prepare a lot. They must bring enough food and make full preparations. They are not like our Koba soldiers, who are born for the jungle! As long as there is a spear, you can get on the road."

"Compared with our Koba warriors, the Song people are both weak and troublesome, and they are like little girls and have no combat power!"

“Hahahahahahaha!!”

There was a burst of laughter in the temple, and the originally solemn atmosphere was much easier. The originally a little urgent time also seemed less anxious.

Just as he was talking...

Outside the city, in the quiet jungle, a scream suddenly came!!

At first, everyone didn't care much, but...

Although there was a second...the third...the man's roar and commotion.

The jungle covered in morning mist seemed to be boiling, becoming more and more restless!!!

The high priest finally noticed the abnormality and his brows moved. He stood up and went to the temple gate, looking into the distance in the direction where the commotion occurred.

Everyone followed closely, frowned and looked, "What happened?"

...

"It should be that there is a leopard and a lion broke in?"

Unfortunately, these comments were just speculations, and the morning mist was a bit sticky and blocked the view.

However, the riots would not stop, but from far to near, it seemed as if a wild beast had first alarmed the people of the outside world and rushed towards the city, and followed the road with screams and roars towards the temple.

Finally... the commotion was passed to the innermost people, and then just as everyone was browsing tighter, several Koba warriors rushed out of the fog and ran towards the temple!!

He shouted: "Miracle!! Miracles appeared!! High Priest!! Look at the heaven!! In the heaven!! God has clearly appeared!!"
