Chapter 1074: The Balloon Deviates from the Battle (Fourth Update)
The team was advancing, and the 10,000 elite horsemen were excited, and there was another battle to be fought.
As long as you are careful, your own side is a calculating enemy, and the captives call you shameless, unimportant, and you can even say thank you.
Soldiers are not tired of deceit, isn't it right to sneak attack you?
"Report, I found a hot air balloon in front, and we asked us to pick them up with a flag message, but they flew off and couldn't go back."
Zhang Xiaosong was thinking about serving His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, and the faster scouts ran back a few.
Zhang Xiaosong took the binoculars to look, and sure enough, there was a hot air balloon lowering the altitude, and the rope was thrown down, trying to let the people below catch it.
The people on the hot air balloon kept waving the flag, saying that they were running out of fuel, hurry up, or they would fall straight down and they wouldn't be able to bring the balloon back.
"Go to a battalion, take it along." Zhang Xiaosong ordered.
A hundred people rushed out, and the normal battalion was one hundred and fifty people.
Zhang Xiaosong learned from Yulin Fei Cavalry, a battalion of 100 people, and strong soldiers are like this.
Adjust the direction of the horse, run along, grab the rope by the way, and slowly slow down, and the person above controls the flames.
Coming down little by little, there are three people on it, two of them jump to the ground first, and the other person continues to adjust the flames, and when the hot air balloon lands, squat for a while.
"Thank you, we are the soldiers of the Longyou Jiedu envoy, practicing hot air balloons, the wind is not good, we are biased, and we can't go back."
The 'Ball Captain' says why.
The person who helped sort out the hot air balloon smiled: "It's clear that you made a mistake, you didn't find the airflow, the wind, and it's not a person, how to blow it or how to blow it." ”
"Yes, I've flown twice, and this time it's windy, so I'm panicking." The ball captain was not embarrassed when he was recognized, and scratched his head with a smile.
"You go first, we will tidy up the hot air balloon, ride horses, the team will not wait for you." The person who packed the hot air balloon didn't want to say anything more.
"Thanks, go, get on the horse, who is your general?"
"Inspector Zhang."
"Oh, he's riding here with 10,000 spirits again? Tashi Kure is finished. The captain threw down his sentence and led two of his men on horseback to chase the army.
After a short time, they caught up, someone came to verify their identity, checked them on the horse, changed their horses, and continued on their way.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xiaosong rode a horse, ran at a normal speed, turned his head and asked.
"The news that came back before we came out, the confrontation across the river, our side is building a military village, Tubo is also building, and we are practicing hot air balloons behind us, preparing to play a surprise attack."
"Are there many casualties?"
"Not much, we have hot air balloons, explosives bags, and sky-scuring monkeys, and we will shoot directly, and Tashi Kure, who ran away, will carry less than 300 people.
He integrated the people of the other tribes and thousands of households, and the total number of troops was still not as large as ours.
Later, 10,000 Lin Fei rode and brought 4,000 Sky Monkeys, and the two sides were looking for each other's weak points, and we had hot air balloons and telescopes, which had the advantage. ”
"Yulin Fei rode and didn't cross the river? More than 10,000 people. ”
"The commander of the Yulin Flying Cavalry is called Qin Li, and he is mainly stable, I heard that he is waiting for logistics, as well as your horses."
"Okay, steady." Zhang Xiaosong thought about it for a while and gave a three-word evaluation.
He knew that Yulin Feiqi was not afraid of death, and he was not the kind of imperial city soldier.
The information sent over said that Yulin Feiqi sent a thousand people to accept the invitation of Tubo bare-chested, and defeated it, and it was a big victory.
Zhang Xiaosong began to think about tactics, how to cooperate, he needed weapons.
He also dares to fight, and 10,000 elite horsemen can fight hard at any time.
However, why fight the enemy with a hand-to-hand fight? They all fight hand-to-hand combat, what do you still do with bows and crossbows?
There is no need to repair the city, the catapult is cowardly, whoever rides a horse is not a gentleman, everyone doesn't need anything, fights naked, waving his fists and biting his teeth.
"How many explosives bags do you have with the Sky Monkey?" Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosong asked again.
"No, it's all sent to the front, we use other things as explosives bags to practice, I practice flying, and I fly off.
Damn it, I made a mistake in command, and I should have pulled up like crazy at that time, and I shouldn't have been afraid of the wind and reduced the fire.
Thanks to meeting you, otherwise the three of us would have brought the hot air balloon back. ”
The ball captain was annoyed, made a mistake, and the result couldn't be adjusted.
"The next time I encounter the same situation, burn the hot air balloon, smash the blowtorch and bury it, run away and bury it.
When burying the turf, first try to shovel it up at night, and then dig it, the turf will fall and others will not be able to see it. ”
Zhang Xiaosong gave an idea.
"The god of the army, sure enough, the god of the army, we remember. It's just reluctant, I heard that there is a lot of money for things. ”
"Money? You are the most expensive, and a person who can operate a hot air balloon and look for a chance to come back is worth more than a hot air balloon. ”
Zhang Xiaosong never cares about things, he only cares about people.
He can lead 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers to break through a hundred cities, slaughter three cities, and force the other party into the mountains, and he relies on people.
Is it necessary to say whether a good rider is worth or a horse is worth something?
The soldiers of the hot air balloon will fly when they say that they will fly, even if they don't meet their own team, they will fall into the land of Datang normally.
It shows that after the three people made a mistake, they kept adjusting, but the fuel was not enough, which did not mean that they really couldn't fly back, it depended on the amount of fuel.
The ball captain was excited, and his two subordinates straightened their chests, and quickly adjusted their posture to match the horse's movement.
"Tell me the general route, and we'll go straight to the front. Or do you lead the way, and you can still persevere? ”
Zhang Xiaosong thought of a tactic, be fast, go directly, don't waste time.
"Brother, ask Inspector Zhang to take a look at our riding skills." The ball leader turned his head to attack the two men.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them wrapped the rope of the stirrup around their feet and necks at the same time, and their buttocks left the horse's back, leaning forward, and shaking the reins.
Three horses swooped out, and the three of them rose and fell on the horse's back, moving to the rhythm of the horse.
"Patrol envoy, man and horse unity, elite." The young general next to him stepped forward.
"Let the most powerful soldiers operate hot air balloons, Zhang Zhongliang is also a good skill." Zhang Xiaosong smiled.
There rushed out a few hundred paces, and with a shake of the ankle, the stirrups fell again, and the horse's speed slowed down.
The three horses puffed in their noses, looking happy, they were running comfortably just now, and they knew that the person riding on them was powerful.
Zhang Xiaosong urged the horse to catch up: "Don't show your horse skills?" ”
"I can't hurt the horse, I can't bear it." The ball captain stroked the horse's neck and massaged it slowly.
Many people who have just learned to ride a horse will feel that the front hooves of the horse are high and handsome.
The last thing a real cavalryman wants to do is to urgently restrain his horse.
"Let's go, go to the front, I'll see Qin Li." Zhang Xiaosong gave the three of them an appreciative look.
The team continued on and saw the Yellow River in the evening.
Zhang Xiaosong was about to follow the three people to the front, but suddenly stopped, there were four boats in the lower reaches of the Yellow River going upstream, and the speed was ......
"Propellers? The propeller boat mentioned in the intelligence stopped and asked what they were carrying. ”
When Zhang Xiaosong saw the speed of the boat, he was surprised, fast, that is, fast, at least five times faster than other boats on the Yellow River he had ever seen.
What he saw was a raft of sheepskin, the kind that paddled one oar after another.
In fact, the propeller boat was not five times faster, and the water splashed behind the boat.
