Chapter 240 Dolin's decision(1/2)
The bombing did not last long, after all, the bomb load capacity of the hot air balloon is still extremely limited. Remove the necessary control personnel and fuel reserves, and the maximum load of about 400 kilograms is loaded...
And 400 pounds look like a lot, but in fact, there are only a dozen thunders as big as a head, so it is really not too many.
Moreover, it is 150 kilometers away. Even if the hot air balloon is sailing at full speed, it takes six hours to walk a round trip. This is not the case when there are sudden weather or other constraints on the road. It is good to be able to blow three round trips in two days.
It is incomparable to the so-called saturated continuous bombing in later generations.
But even so, in this era, bombing towns with air power is enough to shock, and it can be said that it has set a precedent.
The entire city of Coba was also like hell on earth during this bombing! Ruins flew everywhere and smoke and dust filled! It was completely in chaos.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the city, otherwise this time, the people of Coba gathered in the city, and probably no one dared to enter the city when they saw the scene of flesh and blood flying!!
As noon approached, in the Song army camp, Jiang Jin was anxiously staring at the sky and finally saw sixteen flying boats appearing on the skyline. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Here I'm back!!"
Come back... Jiang Zheng is extremely nervous and doesn't expect any results to be achieved in this trip. He just wants Wang Wulang and the others to come back safely.
In fact, as soon as the hot air balloon left last night, he regretted it a little. He regretted it very much!
I really said that there would be no problem, right? Shi said that Jiang Zheng would not be able to hold back, but Wang Wulang and those few people were so important! It would be fine if the plan was not successful. If they were told here, Zhao Wei would eat him after he went back!
He hurried out from the Central Army's tent and went to greet everyone in person.
When the flying boat landed and saw that Wang Wulang and the others were safe, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the results of the trip.
"Don't mention it!" Unexpectedly, Wang Wulang looked very sad and worried, and he was very unhappy. "I am ashamed of the Palace Commander, so I've ruined it."
Ah? Jiang Zheng was stunned, and his mind was just back to the war itself. Why did he... just mess it up?
Wang Wulang glared at Liu Derou, pointed at Liu Derou's nose and cursed, "It's all this guy who messed up!"
Jiang Jin was even more puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Liu Derou was scolded and did not retort. She lowered her head like a young wife, "No one wants to... but he didn't know that throwing it so accurately? It delayed the big thing!"
Jiang Jin was so anxious, "What's wrong? Why did it delay the big thing? Don't be playing the puzzle, okay?"
"Haha..." Zhao Youqin laughed dryly over there, and glanced at Liu Derou with a slight smile, "Ask him..."
"I..." Liu Derou was almost crying... "I didn't mean it either..."
He said to Jiang Zheng, "Forgive the Palace Commander, this time... I'm blaming me!"
Jiang Zheng is going crazy! What are you talking about? Why do you keep your friends from Ning Wang?
Jiang Wei shook and his eyebrows stood up, "What the hell is going on? Say!" Damn, these two guys!
"That's the matter..." Liu Derou was so scared that she finally said, "The thunder that was taken out...is a bit big."
"It was thrown by a certain family...is a bit accurate..."
"There are also those natives of Koban... they are also a little stupid. They even surrounded them to worship when they saw the thunder that they didn't run away!"
"Then..."
"And what happened?"
"And then... from the priest to the chief... it seems... it seems to be gone."
After saying that, he looked back at Wang Wulang, "Is that the thing happening? Then the Mayans below shouted like that?"
Wang Wulang has been in Fusang for many years and knows a little Mayan.
They were so happy at that time, but later they heard the call from the high priest that they died, and they only found out which leader died, causing trouble!!
Wang Wulang nodded and was speechless, "It should be...yes?" He slapped his thigh, "Didn't it mean that the Mayans don't enter the city? Who would have thought that there were still people in the city? Just blow it up!"
Jiang Jin: "..."
Jiang Zheng was a little confused. What does it mean? Once you send it? Once you send it... it will be gone?
Isn't this a good thing? Isn't that a good thing if the high priest and the tribe leader were both killed?
But then I thought about it... it was wrong!
What a f*ck!!
All the people in charge were killed. Then, wouldn’t Coba City really have no leader? Who will organize and resist? Who will concentrate the surrounding tribes into the city? How will his plan be implemented if he doesn’t concentrate in the city?
I was a little amused and laughed. What's going on? Why was this handsome guy who didn't even see Coba City?
How could he have imagined that the bombing was so powerful? How could Liu Derou throw it so accurately?
The more Jiang Jin thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong!! It was over... Liu Derou seemed...... he really helped!
You should know that the purpose of bombing those people was not the purpose. The Song Dynasty could be said to have crushed Koba City. It was too easy to let them die. The army directly pressed on it, so why would it use flying boats to lure the enemy?
I just don’t want them to die with the flying boat, so that I can use their hands to concentrate Coba’s vitality into the city and beat them all!
Now that the manager is killed, Koba will inevitably be in chaos, how can he catch them all in one go?
In other words, unintentionally, the first time the flying boat was dispatched to disrupt all plans.
Jiang Jin's face became more and more serious, not panic. After all, Jiang Jin was considered a battle of many battles, so he still had this concentration, and it could only be considered a small scene.
But one step is wrong, one step is wrong. Obviously, all the tactics formulated before are messed up. He must make adjustments immediately.
When Wang Wulang, Liu Derou and others saw that Jiang Jin became serious, they also knew that they were so big this time that they were all blown to death? It’s easy to say anything else, but the most important thing is that those people died and Koba had no leader.
Of course, the tribes and the main city of Koba will not be defeated, and new leaders will definitely be selected. At least the tribe leader will die, and there will be sons and confidants. If the high priest dies, there will be ordinary priests to take over?
However, this takes time, and it will take time to reorganize the Koba people. The one-month period of Ning Wang will be gone. In other words, this explosion has delayed time.
Liu Derou also knew that she had caused trouble and felt guilty. When she saw Jiang Jin's expression, she said, "Dian Zheng, this time it was Derou's fault, and she won the punishment from the Palace Zheng."
Jiang Jin glanced at him and shook his head, "It's not your fault... I have to rely on me, I still underestimate the combat power of the flying boat..."
No one expected that this thing just flew back and forth and took back the "General's Head" in a nest.
"It's okay!" Jiang Zheng took the responsibility on himself first, and then comforted everyone, "It's a good thing to have a strong flying boat fighting power, but we are negligent in understanding the needs of the people, and we will be able to be able to handle it in the future and be in every way!"
After saying that, he fell into deep thought again.
It is the duty of the head coach to stabilize everyone, but it is also the duty of the head coach to come up with an emergency strategy immediately.
Everyone didn't say anything, just waiting for Jiang Jin to make an idea.
After a while, Jiang Zheng's eyes moved! "We...we go south! Go to Kirigua."
"Hmm?" Everyone was stunned! They didn't understand what they meant.
It was only heard that Jiang Zheng said: "There will be a great chaos in the short term. It is not very meaningful for us to practice the old laws or to suppress the city by a large army."
"In this way, it's better to change your mind! Let's ignore Coba City and turn back from north to south to Kirigua!"
"Aren't Koba's high priests and leaders of various tribes dead? If they are removed from the trap, then Koba's city will be completely lost control. Whether to take the city or not will make much sense at that time!"
Everyone nodded and secretly praised Jiang Zheng for his wonderful plan! He would definitely not have thought that Song would take it back! The atmosphere was much easier immediately. Wang Wulang and the others were very nervous during the journey back, but they didn't expect that a good thing would turn into a bad thing.
Jiang Jin ignored everyone's eyes and thought in his mind that there were eighteen days left before the one-month period of King Ning. If we set up camp now, we can join the Yan-controlled naval army in two days and still go to the sea. At most, we can reach Kirigua in five days!
By then, the news of the attack on Koba City may not have reached the ears of the throne, but the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had already arrived.
I'm afraid Zhao Wei would never have imagined such speed, let alone those Mayan kings and priests. If they were to take it off quickly, and they would be taken from the eyes of the Mayans! The shocking effect that would be caused was probably not smaller than the one who conquered Coba City, right?
He did it as soon as he said that, Jiang Jin immediately issued a general order, and the three armies set off and returned immediately.
This place is two hundred miles away from Haiwa's water fleet. Due to the jungle and mountains, it takes two days to reach it.
However, thanks to the existence of hot air balloons, messages can be quickly conveyed across the terrain. The army set off at noon, and before sunset, Haiwa had already received news from Jiang Jin. The navy immediately took action to check the ship's support, prepare for the supply of the army after the arrival of the day after tomorrow and boarded the ship.
It can be said that as soon as Jiang Zheng's troops arrived, the two sides could be seamlessly connected and they would go on the boat to rest. Haiwa would immediately set sail to the coast of Kirigua.
This ability to respond quickly is something that was not available in the past.
If we were to follow the past, even if Jiang Jin sent a commander, because he was still on land and the mountains were high and the road was far, the fastest was half a day earlier than the army or a few hours later, Haiwa would definitely not be as calm as he was now, nor was he as fast as he was now!
How can it be done? The army will get on the ship when it arrives, rest when it gets on the ship, and set sail when it gets on the ship?
Moreover, not only did his reaction speed be much faster, but in fact, before the Jiang Jin army joined forces with Haiwa, the news had already floated from the sky to Kirigua! The situation in Coba City and the movements of the Song Dynasty heading south were all presented to Zhao Wei.
This is still a hot air balloon that brings convenience. Coba City is six or seven hundred miles away from Kirigua, and it takes at least ten days to cross the mountains by land!
When loading a large amount of fuel, the hot air balloon does not need to take too much effort and it will fly there in less than a day.
While passing the message over, the hot air balloon even had the energy to continue to fly to the coast to find suitable landing points and marching routes near Kirigua for the fleet.

In other words, after Jiang Jin made the decision to switch to Kirigua, in just over a day, the Song Dynasty relied on the mobility of hot air balloons to complete the naval force linkage, message transmission, landing points and road exploration.
Don’t underestimate these seemingly meaningless details. The most outstanding thing in a war is undoubtedly to kill the enemy in front of the formation. However, in order to achieve this ultimate goal, every detail in the early stage is very important.
The ancients said that only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy can one win every battle. It is these small accumulations that can guarantee the final victory.
In a relatively unfamiliar environment, it takes only one day to connect three or four basis points of nearly a thousand miles away. This speed is enough to shock anyone in this era!
It was not until this moment that Jiang Jin and others realized that the small hot air balloon was not only unexpected, but also had so many uses. Jiang Jin also deeply realized that the palace coach had to learn too many new things, so many that he could not learn at all!
The look of Wang Wulang's eyes was different. This Luban Hou Feng was not exaggerating at all!! It can only be said that he is worth this value!
On the other side, the city of Kirigua.
Dolinstra, Dolinjie and Lanqin almost knocked one towards the flying boat that slowly took off. Well, that's because Zhao Wei was aware that this was the creation of the Song Dynasty, not the gods. Otherwise, how much better do you think they were than the High Priest Koba?
