Chapter 938: Soaring into the Sky
The rising sun is half hanging on the top of the mountain, and the mild sunlight shines on the huge hot air balloon, the orange balloon looks very festive in the sun, especially the big hanging basket under the hot air balloon, which looks like a stupid feeling.
Seeing the color of the hot air balloon, Yang Feng also said that he was very helpless, because of the tight time he asked for and negligence, he did not make any requirements for the color of the balloon, and Qiuye Company didn't know what to think, so he actually got this color.
When he received the goods, he was also speechless when he saw that it was actually this kind of feminine color, but at this time, it was obviously too late to change the color, so he could only use it.
If this scene is seen by people in modern society, they will laugh at the stupidity and cuteness of this color hot air balloon, but in the eyes of Spaniards such as Field, these big guys floating in the air are like monsters ready to love people.
"Demonic ...... This must be a demon from hell! ”
"God, is this a devil sent by Satan?"
The Spanish soldiers on the city wall looked at the five or six hot air balloons floating overhead, and fell into chaos, and even many of the officers showed panic on their faces.
Seeing the walls in disarray, Castro knew he couldn't let this continue to spread: "Bastard...... It's not some devil, it's just a weapon of the enemy, fire...... Everybody fire at those things! ”
"Right...... Fire now! ”
"Bang ......"
"Shoot!"
"Bang...... Bang bang ......"
Following the orders of the officers, the soldiers on the city wall raised their firearms and pulled the trigger on the hot air balloons in the sky, but unfortunately, those hot air balloons were far away
The walls of the city were at least more than three hundred meters, and such a distance was simply beyond the reach of the front-loading smoothbore guns equipped with the Spanish army.
There is a large hanging basket under each hot air balloon, which can carry ten soldiers, except for three soldiers who need to operate the hot air balloon, the remaining seven soldiers are all Yang Feng's family members.
These men were not armed with firearms such as the brown besses used by ordinary sergeants, but front-loading rifled guns, which in another time and space were known as the first-generation front-loading rifled guns, which had an effective range of up to an astonishing 500 meters, and could easily shoot at the Spanish soldiers on the city walls.
Seeing the Spaniards on the city wall shooting at them, those family members would not be polite, and immediately set up their muskets and pulled the trigger on the Spanish soldiers on the city wall.
"Bumper ......"
"Bang...... Bang......"
Due to the number of people, the gunfire from the sky was not intensive, but it was fatal for the Spanish soldiers on the city walls.
From ancient times to the present, when any city wall is built, it is defended by the front, and it is never thought that someone can attack them from the sky, because when the Spanish soldiers are attacked from the sky, everyone is confused.
"Smack......
A scar the size of a bowl appeared on the chest of a Spanish soldier hiding behind the battlement, and the whole person fell to the ground with a pop, blood flowed out in pools, and the whole person convulsed twice and then never moved again.
"Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
The gunfire from the sky is not dense, after all, there are only six hot air balloons hanging in the air, and each hot air balloon is only seven people who can shoot, plus the breech gun has a congenital defect in the loading speed, so the gunfire sounds intermittent and not dense, and it is not comparable to the shocking scene when the mainstream salvo in the Western world is fired today.
But the Spanish soldiers on the walls would never think so, because the angles of the bullets that came down from the sky were too tricky, or they had nowhere to hide.
And what made them feel most devastating was that those people were particularly accurate in their marksmanship, and dozens of people were shot in just a moment.
As the Governor-General, Field was escorted by a group of guards to a building on the city wall as soon as the shots rang out, and he was accompanied by Castro and a group of officers.
Looking at the muffled gunshots that rang out from time to time in the sky, Field forcibly suppressed the fear and anger in his heart, lowered his voice and asked, "Can anyone tell me what the hell is in the sky?" Why didn't I even know about it beforehand? ”
All the officers were silent, and this is the first time we've seen this thing, so how do we answer your question.
After a while, Castro said, "Thankfully, we now finally understand that those things floating in the sky are not demons that have emerged from hell, but new things that have been concocted by the Ming people. ”
Field said irritably, "Of course I know it's something made up by the Ming people, but now the question is what should we do with him?" If we let them kill them so slowly in the sky, I am afraid that it will not take half a day for our soldiers to be either killed by them or collapse. ”
An officer said: "Why don't we order the soldiers to hide in the cave first, as long as they are not directly exposed to the city wall, they will not be able to hit us, anyway, can those guys in the sky jump down?" ”
"Stupid idea!"
Mitchell on the side sneered mercilessly: "It's safe to hide in the hiding cave, what if the Ming army takes the opportunity to attack, will you go up and block it?" ”
"I think we can use some thick planks to build some temporary hiding places on the city wall, so that we don't have to worry about the Ming army above our heads."
"Hmm...... I think it's a good idea. ”
"I'll see it!"
"You can give it a try!"
The surrounding officers nodded in agreement, this method is good, we really can't help the Ming army on that ball, but you can't jump down from the sky to beat us, right?
While the Spanish officers were pondering, Yang Feng also kicked the trees next to him outside the city. As a result of this kick, the tree, which was the size of a soup pot, made a tooth-aching sound and slowly fell to the grass.
"Damn, I finally got the hot air balloon back, but I didn't expect to find someone to control the hot air balloon?"
Yang Feng was secretly annoyed in his heart, although it doesn't take much skill to operate a hot air balloon, but ordinary people who have not been trained really can't do it, at least you should know how to heat the balloon, how to start his motor, how to make it turn, this thing can't be played without a period of training.
And Yang Feng originally only had two hot air balloons, so naturally there were only three groups of personnel, which also included the spare group.
Some people may say, didn't Yang Feng pre-train the hot air balloon pilot before buying it?
It stands to reason that Yang Feng shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, but the problem is that even if they want to train, they have to have hot air balloons for them to practice, and the two hot air balloons they bought before have long been broken by them.
After Yang Feng's efforts, there were enough personnel for six hot air balloons in front of him.
