"Kongming Lantern?"

Geng Jimao's eyes narrowed, like a wild beast about to eat at night.

Of course he knew about Kongming lanterns, but the practice of Kongming lanterns had long been lost. How did the Ming army know?

Of course, these are not important at the moment, because they must first consider how to deal with this problem.

"Jingluo Hong, how should we deal with this hot air balloon?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Just shoot it down. If the kite loses its line, it will float away, and if the hot air balloon breaks the hole, it will fall."

Hong Chengchou gradually returned to peace and explained quietly.

"What does Hong Jinglei mean to knock down this hot air balloon?"

"Of course, that's true. Even birds can be shot down, let alone a hot air balloon?"

Geng Jimao also felt something was right, so he asked, "Would you shoot with a bow or an arrow or a musket?"

"It doesn't matter, but the musket seems to be able to shoot further."

Geng Jimao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Come here, I'll order the musketman to aim at this hot air balloon to shoot. I want to see how long will the Ming thief be able to show off?"

The Shang Family Army has a strong execution ability, and soon the musketman was transferred to a position closer to the hot air balloon.

From this angle, you can vaguely see the hot air balloon, but it is not clear.

"shoot!"

With the order of the troops, the musketeers fired in a row.

The lead bounced out of the air, and the momentum was terrifying.

But many of them were already exhausted before they even flew to the hot air balloon.

Some lucky ones will pass through the hot air balloon, but the strength is not much different from gently stroking.

This is of course because the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army deliberately adjusted the height of the hot air balloon, making it float at a perfect height.

At this height, ordinary crossbow arrows and muskets are difficult to hit, and even if they hit, they will not cause too much damage to the hot air balloon.

The Ming army still deliberately saw the Qing army underground, although these Qing army were as small as ants.

The Qing army's shooting was like scratching the surface, which actually aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army.

They threw down the grenades prepared in the hot air balloons.

This kind of high-altitude bombing has very good effect, and the Qing army often dies as soon as they die.

The gunner is no exception.

Compared with ordinary Qing soldiers, these gunners are even more like targets.

And when they were with the cannon, their targets were more obvious.

Although the hot air balloons are not fast, the soldiers of the Tiger Army are not in a hurry. They have time to play with the Qing army. They will not leave without blowing up the grenades they brought.

"Come and have a pot!"

The grenade was still not satisfied, so the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army threw the earth-made fuel bomb downwards.

Although this thing is not as explosive as a grenade, it can burn quickly.

Sure enough, the earth-fuel bomb quickly burned after it landed in the Qing army formation, and it spread into a sea of ​​fire in less than a long time.

"The Ming thief who killed thousands of swords!"

Geng Jimao was really scared now.

Isn't it too scary to fall from the top of my head?

The most hateful thing is their muskets, and the crossbows cannot hurt the hot air balloon at all.

What Hong Chengchou said is nothing!

Only others hit themselves, but they can’t hit others.

This is so fucking frustrating.

Geng Jimao only felt a mouthful of old phlegm blocking his throat, and he almost felt breathless.

The Qing army's positions quickly became chaotic at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is also impossible. After all, no one wants to be roasted into a roasted suckling pig.

The Qing soldiers instinctively ran around, not only did no one care about shooting hot air balloons, but even the gunners ran away.

The artillery defense line that Hong Chengchou had finally built was penetrated.

"This dog thief, do you dare to lower your grip!"

Geng Jimao's teeth were itchy and he clenched his fists tightly.

Of course, Ming Jun would not let him do what he wanted, the height card was just right.

The Qing army's positions quickly spread from several sporadic fire points into a sea of ​​fire.

The disadvantages of this large-scale joint venture are also fully reflected at this moment.

The trenches that ran through the whole world not only did not become a cover for the Qing soldiers, but instead allowed the flames to spread rapidly in the tunnels.

After all, the earth-sulphur bombs thrown by the Ming army were filled with tincture and would burn quickly after encountering gunpowder.

There was even a large-scale ignition of gunpowder in the Qing army formation.

This undoubtedly made things worse, and Hong Chengchou's old face turned dark.

Zhang Chaolin, who was standing by, gradually felt that the situation was a little out of control.

Following this momentum, it won’t take long for the Ming army to regain those positions and even advance further.

Geng Jimao now feels very regretful.

Why did he just believe Hong Chengchou's nonsense and want to stay?

Is it just to compare Shang Kexi? What is the meaning of this?

Now, I am completely trapped here and it is difficult to break through!

When Geng Jimao was extremely upset, the sky suddenly became dark clouds, followed by thunder.

Hong Chengchou finally smiled.

"Haha, if the heavens do not destroy my Qing Dynasty, we will be saved, King Jingnan!"

Geng Jimao was still a monk who was confused and said inexplicably: "What does it mean?"

"Have you heard of Kongming lanterns flying on rainy days? Even Kongming lanterns are not good, so this hot air balloon is certainly even worse."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said, "There is no way out. If I had expected it to be a good thing, this hot air balloon would not have flew again. If a heavy rain fell, it would have put out the fire."

Geng Jimao said skeptically: "It's really like this?"

"King Jingnan will be fine."

...

...

The wind was blowing, and the thunder was rumbling.

Although I was very reluctant, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army had to land the hot air balloon as soon as possible.

If a hot air balloon floats in the air, it is likely to be chopped to fall.

After finally controlling the hot air balloon to land safely, they found that the landing location was much further off the ground than they expected, with a total of hundreds of steps.

Fortunately, this is still close to the Ming army camp. If they fall close to the Qing army camp, they will really be crying without tears.

Due to sudden rainfall, they did not throw all the grenades they brought, but not many left.

Each of them took some difficult treks to the Ming army camp in the heavy rain.

As for the hot air balloon, you can call people to drag it later.

In short, neither hot air balloon nor grenade could fall into the hands of the Qing army.

Although the Tartars now know the existence of hot air balloons and grenades, they know that they don’t know why.

Therefore, they knew what the Ming army was going to do, but they couldn't defend themselves.

If it weren't for this sudden heavy rain, the Ming army could have even taken advantage of this momentum to push it over directly.

Now if the Qing army had not secretly learned the technique of red-clothed cannons, even if they entered the pass, they would not have been able to drive the Ming Dynasty to the end of their lives?

Now that I finally had the opportunity to turn the tables, Ming Jun naturally cherished it even more.

If you learn from your mistakes, the Ming army will never fall twice in the same place.
