When the Qing soldiers saw that the fire was shining in the air, they were naturally not stars, but hot air balloons!

According to Zhu Youlang's order, Liu Xingming did not get on the hot air balloon until it was dark.

This is naturally to avoid the hot air balloon being discovered by people during the day. After all, there is Snake Mountain in Wuchang City.

It is still easy to find hot air balloons to occupy such a commanding height.

The Ming army relied on hot air balloons to make profits several times, and the Qing army could not have been unprepared.

But it’s different at night. Apart from the slightest flame caused by the burning, the hot air balloon will not have any obvious exposure.

Moreover, Liu Xingming deliberately flew very high to avoid being discovered when crossing the city wall.

Judging from the current situation, their goal seems to be to achieve it.

The Qing soldiers did not seem to notice it.

Unlike previous beheading operations, this time Liu Xingming's mission was to create chaos in the city as much as possible so that the Ming army, which was sieging the city head-on, could relieve some pressure.

As for whether you can open the city gate in the chaos, it really depends on luck.

The emperor did not force it, just asked Liu Xingming to act according to the opportunity.

This hot air balloon is an enlarged version, and it can ride a total of more than a dozen people.

Liu Xingming specially brought a lot of incendiary bombs and prepared to teach the Qing soldiers a lesson.

Now that the hot air balloon has flew into the city, we have to consider the issue of landing next.

In fact, hot air balloons still have high requirements for landing. First of all, the landmarks should not be too rugged, and secondly, there should be no sharp objects.

Liu Xingming carefully analyzed the map given by Wang Henian and finally chose the location on an abandoned school ground.

This schoolyard has been abandoned for a long time and no one comes on weekdays.

If you choose to land here, it will not attract the attention of the Qing soldiers at all.

The only difficult place is to land at night, grasping the accurate direction is very challenging.

Although Liu Xingming is an "old driver", he is not sure.

In particular, temporary changes in the airflow direction will affect the landing point of the hot air balloon.

Liu Xingming held his breath, stared at the bottom and did not dare to move aside.

"Hurry, land quickly!"

Seeing that the time was almost over, Liu Xingming said anxiously.

The soldiers adjusted the ropes as required to control the lifting and lowering of the hot air balloon.

The airflow of this generation is relatively stable, which is very conducive to the landing of hot air balloons.

Seeing the hot air balloon floating and landing with the wind little by little, Liu Xingming's heart was finally able to let go.

This was the first time he flew at night and had no experience at all.

But after tonight he will not have any fear of night flight.

After a while, the hot air balloon finally landed on the abandoned school ground.

What made Liu Xingming very pleased was that the hot air balloon did not make too loud noises when it landed.

"Hurry, move the incendiary bomb down quickly, be careful! Don't touch it!"

Liu Xingming's main task was to set fire while the night was dark.

The greater the fire in Wuchang City, the greater the pressure on the Qing soldiers to put out the fire.

Of course, Liu Xingming's main arson sites were located in some yamen in the central area and would not hurt innocent people.

In Wuchang City, the separation between yamen and ordinary houses is still very obvious. Not only are there fangmen and even mountains such as snake mountains as natural separations.

Therefore, this fire is the fire of justice.

Referring to the map brought by Wang Henian, Liu Xingming and his group had already formulated detailed routes, and had already made some decisions about where to go to the various yamen to set fire and where to retreat.

...

...

"It's a fire! It's a fire!"

The Qing soldiers on patrol found a raging fire in the Governor's Office and shouted loudly.

What's even more terrifying is that it is not only the Governor's Office that catches fire, but also the other officials.

Yamen Street, located in the center of Wuchang City, instantly turned into a fire dragon!

Obviously it is impossible for so many yamen to catch fire at the same time. It must be that a spy from Ming army sneaked into the city and deliberately set fire.

The Governor must be notified as soon as possible!

"Hurry, go and report to the Governor, there are Ming thieves in the city!"

In fact, Hu Quancai was awakened at this time.

Looking at the fires everywhere and the night sky illuminated by the fire, Hu Quancai did not panic but ordered the soldiers to put out the fire immediately.

The main body of the yamen is made of wooden structures, and it can't help but burn.

If it burns for a long time, it will naturally inevitably lead to collapse.

The most urgent task now is to put out the fire, and then search the whole city to find out the spies of the Ming thief!

...

...

The morning light is dim and it is not yet bright.

Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo ordered the siege at the same time.

The Qing soldiers put out fires and searched spies in the middle of the night without resting all night.

At this time, they were the most sleepy, and the Ming army made the most profits to attack the city at this time.

Although Liu Xingming's team failed to open the city gate in the chaos, it still played a significant role.

When people lack sleep, their attention and reaction ability are severely reduced.

This may not be anything to ordinary people, but it is deadly to the soldiers guarding the city.

When the Ming army had already crossed the moat, they realized that they instinctively bent their bows and arrows to shoot.

But the arrows they shot were soft and powerless, and had no deterrent power at all.

The Ming soldiers calmly set up ladders to prepare for siege.

The opportunity was fleeting, and this was the time for the Ming army to attack.

The veterans who attacked Nancheng were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles and understood this truth very well.

The sleepy Qing soldiers were woken up by their companions. While rubbing their eyes, they walked to the cliffs and carried wooden stones downwards.

But their expedition was obviously half a beat slower, one step was wrong, one step was wrong.

The Ming army climbed very quickly, and the Qing army was quickly forced to use Yaksha to shoot. This was a killer weapon that would not be used easily until it ended up.

Using the Yaksha beat means that the situation has reached a very urgent point.

"What are you doing when you are standing there? You're going to smash it for me!"

The movements of these Qing soldiers were obviously half a beat slower, so anxious that Zhou Peigong was so swinging around and couldn't help but swear.

At present, every move is very important and is related to the final success or failure.

The Ming soldiers were extremely agile and had already reached a distance in a moment.

Seeing that the Ming army was about to kill to the top of the city, Zhou Peigong was anxious and personally carried a stone and smashed it down.

"Didn't he eat? Let's see how I smashed people! Do you know with your strength?"

Zhou Peigong had red eyes and said, "I don't want to be killed by the Ming army after they are broken into the city, so I will give me some strength!"

No wonder Zhou Peigong was angry. He could still have a way out when he was in Baling, but he could retreat to Wuchang if he couldn't beat him.

When he was in Wuchang, he had no place to retreat. He couldn't run to Jiujiang, right?

Even if he wants to run away, Governor Hu Quancai can't run away.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be confirmed that the crime of abandoning the city and losing land? That way, even a hundred heads would not be enough to cut them down!
