Zheng Peng suddenly asked, "Have you ever played Kong Ming Lantern?" ”

Everyone waited with bated breath for Zheng Peng to introduce the new siege weapon, but they didn't expect Zheng Peng to suddenly ask about Kong Ming lantern, and the topic jumped too fast, and the craftsmen present were a little unable to react for a while.

You must know that Zheng Peng's reputation in the Tang Dynasty is very great, especially the fact that he won the Sulu Khan with a self-made bicycle, which is known to the world, and everyone has great expectations for Zheng Peng, but he didn't expect him to ask about playing Kong Ming lanterns.

It took a long time for those present to come back to their senses.

Zhou Ping replied respectfully: "Back to Zheng Jianjun, we have played with Kong Ming Lantern when we were young, and I even made one for my grandson last year." ”

Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang, the whole army was helpless, Zhuge Liang came up with a clever plan, calculated the direction of the wind, ordered people to take thousands of blank papers, paste into countless lanterns, and then use the gravitational pull of smoke to take them into the air, a small lantern rose, and the soldiers in the camp shouted: "Mr. Zhuge is sitting on the sky lantern to break through!" Sima Yi actually believed it and led his troops to chase in the direction of the sky lantern, and Zhuge Liang was able to escape. Therefore, later generations called this kind of lantern "Kong Ming lantern".

The Kong Ming lantern is not only fun, but also used it in many places to make wishes, write wishes on the lampshade, saying that God will be easier to see after liftoff, so as to realize the wishes of the people who put the lanterns, and the impact is far-reaching.

The rest of the people said that they had played, and some people thought that Zheng Peng was going to play Kong Ming lanterns, and Mao Sui recommended himself to say how good and exquisite he was.

Zheng Peng inadvertently saw Guo Ziyi's somewhat puzzled gaze on the side, and he didn't think so, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then ordered directly: "Okay, now what I ask you to do is to make a Kong Ming lantern that can only sit on people, how about it, is there a problem?" ”

Guo Ziyi, who was on the side, heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Zheng Jianjun, are you going to use Kong Ming lanterns to send people to Wangtian Peak and give them a divine soldier to descend from heaven?" Will this work? ”

As soon as Zheng Peng said his idea, Guo Ziyi immediately thought of the battle of Liancheng, and linked the manned Kong Ming lantern with the siege.

Zheng Peng just smiled, and did not explain to Guo Ziyi for the first time, but instructed the craftsmen to find a way to do it, and told them the principle and structure of making a large-scale Kong Ming lantern, that is, the hot air balloon in later generations, and then put the craftsmen in groups of four and let them explore on their own.

When he was in junior high school, Zheng Peng once joined an interest group, and saw that someone on the Internet successfully flew into the sky with his own hot air balloon, and suddenly thought why not make a hot air balloon, so several like-minded people made it together, but no one dared to be a guinea pig in the back, and finally put a girl's rabbit into it, and successfully rose to a height of nearly 100 meters.

Interestingly, the rabbit fell from the air and died in fright, and the female classmate wiped her tears and said how cute her rabbit was, while eating braised rabbit meat in a big gulp.

Inadvertently saw the wind blowing up the dead leaves on the ground, Zheng Peng suddenly remembered that this weather is suitable for kite flying, remembered that in later generations, someone made a kite of more than 100 meters, and dispatched more than 200 people and a car to send it up, I thought of using a kite to send people up, considering that the environmental factors are very large, the direction is not easy to control, and the danger is also very great, and finally I thought of sending it up in a hot air balloon.

The working principle of the hot air balloon is very simple, the process is not complicated, and it is easy to manufacture, the five dynasties (907-960 AD) were used for the military, a woman named Xin Qi Niang, when her husband fought in Fujian, she used bamboo strips to tie into a square frame, paste paper, make a headlight, place the burning pine resin on the chassis, and the lamp flew into the sky by hot air, as a military contact signal.

Zheng Peng does not require it to fly high or far, nor does it require it to control the direction at will, as long as it can send people to Wangtian Peak.

After instructing the craftsmen to rush to work overnight, Zheng Peng said to Guo Ziyi: "Big brother is clever, let you guess correctly." ”

Guo Ziyi said with some excitement: "What do you think, tell me." ”

Zheng Peng sat down at the table on the side, asked Guo Ziyi and Ku Luo to sit down, dipped a little water in the water cup casually, and drew a picture on the table: "Big brother, second brother, you see, this is Liancheng, and Liancheng is divided into three small cities, divided into Wangcheng, Tiancheng and Fengcheng. ”

Playing a cross in Wangcheng, Zheng Peng continued: "Wangcheng has been captured, there is no need to pay attention to it, there is no need to pay attention to it, there are Tiancheng and Fengcheng, these two cities, are all one-man and ten thousand people, especially Fengcheng, there is only one small road to attack it, both sides of the path are cliffs, as long as you put a piece of wood on it, you can sweep all the attacking soldiers off the cliff, this is a real one-man pass, ten thousand people can not be opened." ”

Guo Ziyi and Kuro were both listening quietly and did not speak, waiting for Zheng Peng to tell him about his plan.

"For us, what we really want to capture is the Heavenly City, because the peak city is the most dangerous, the smallest scale, it is better to say that it is a city, it is better to say that it is a palace, it is a place where important people and their families live, due to the small number of people, only six hundred to eight hundred people can live in it, and there is only one personal guard for the resident soldiers, and the number is about three hundred."

"I have observed from afar, because the location of Fengcheng is too good, the defense of Liancheng is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, especially Fengcheng, the cliff behind is too high, and people regularly water the cliff, raising a lot of moss, and they can't climb at all, and those personal guards rarely go out, so as not to disturb the lives of their families, so there are very few patrols."

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng stood up, punched the position of Fengcheng, and said with a little excitement: "Big brother, second brother, as long as we send one or several people up, bring a long enough rope, and put the rope down from above, of course, the cliff that is more than 100 zhang high, it is difficult to climb up at once, fortunately, the cliff on the back has several prominent places, which just serves as a transit platform, which can secretly transport the most elite soldiers, and wait until the personnel are complete, give them a divine soldier descending from the sky, are you afraid that you won't be able to take Fengcheng?" ”

"The strongest fortress is the easiest to break down from the inside, think about it, if our people don't know it, the ghosts don't know it, and reach the peak city, take it down, and attack the cloud city from the peak city, it must be easier than attacking from the city, right?"

Guo Ziyi and Kuro glanced at each other, and there was joy in each other's eyes, and they said in unison: "It's as easy as a palm!" ”

It is no exaggeration to say that pushing down a rolling stone from the peak city can knock down a cloud city building, if you can occupy the peak city, then you can attack from both sides, and it is easy to capture the cloud city.

Zheng Peng clenched his fists and said, "Okay, now I need the help of my two elder brothers." ”

"Please give the order to Zheng Jianjun." Guo Ziyi and Kuro said in unison.

When it came to orders, the two of them also became serious.

"The eldest brother will lead people to guard this place and protect the secrets here, and the second brother will take people to find Zhang Xiaosong to inform them, expand the blockade of Liancheng, and eliminate all suspicious characters, lest we be discovered and warned by the enemy's spies when we act, then we will really waste our efforts."

"Order!"

After sending the two away, Zheng Peng did not choose to sleep, but plunged into the team that urgently groped for manned Kong Ming lanterns, ready to help his experience and knowledge and help those craftsmen make the first "hot air balloon" in the Tang Dynasty.

One day later, I don't know how many hot-blooded Tang men are buried in the battlefield, at this important juncture, Zheng Peng does not dare to slack off.

Don't look at Zhang Xiaosong as a literati, but the decisive killing and ruthlessness in him are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

I heard that Zhang Xiaosong began to mobilize the tribes of the Western Regions to increase their troops, if the deadline is reached, he will definitely give a death order to attack Yuncheng, at that time it was a crowd tactic, and I don't know how many people will die at that time, this is the real "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither".

.......

Three days later, in the middle of the night, on the back of Wangtian Peak, Zhang Xiaosong, Zheng Peng, Ashina Xian, An Lu Khan and other important figures gathered here, and the light of the bonfire in the middle of the night illuminated everyone's faces yellow.

To allow so many generals to gather here is to witness a top-secret operation personally commanded by Zheng Peng, the deputy superintendent, and the name of this top-secret operation is called: Divine Soldiers Descending from Heaven.

To put it bluntly, it is to use Zheng Peng's improved Kong Ming lantern to send people to the peak, and then transport the elite soldiers up by ropes and hot air balloons, with the ultimate goal of capturing the peak city.

"Zhang Jianjun, what did you say about Deputy Supervisor Zheng's brain, so many whimsical ideas." Sulu Khan looked at Zheng Peng, who was busy before and after, and said with some sighs.

Using a bunch of wooden bicycles, he scrapped Sulu Khan's BMW, and when he captured Liancheng and was in a predicament, everyone thought about how to attack Yuncheng head-on, but Zheng Peng thought of using a large version of Kong Ming Lantern to attack Fengcheng from the sky.

Never playing cards according to common sense, and not thinking from ordinary people, Sulu Khan has become more and more appreciative of Zheng Peng.

As a high-ranking general, Sulu Khan knew that Zheng Peng was going to use Kong Ming lanterns to send people to Fengcheng, and began to think that Zheng Peng was whimsical, but after he witnessed Zheng Peng sending two fat sheep to a height of dozens of zhang the night before, he immediately changed his opinion of Zheng Peng.

Ashina Xian nodded in agreement: "If it is not a thing in the pool, it is naturally different from ordinary people, if Deputy Supervisor Zheng succeeds in this battle, it will save the lives of thousands of soldiers, and it can be said that the merit is immeasurable." ”

Zhang Xiaosong opened his mouth and said: "If this battle can be completed and Liancheng is captured, Deputy Supervisor Zheng should be the first meritorious, and he will personally ask His Majesty for the credit of Deputy Supervisor Zheng." ”

The vast majority of people expressed their appreciation for Zheng Peng's whimsy, but some people were a little unhappy, Xuanwei General Zhang Rui said a little sourly: "The idea is good, but what is the Tiger Head Team's implementation of this mission, that Captain Guo, with shallow qualifications, can he really be entrusted with a big task?" ”

In this night attack on Fengcheng, the vanguard was Zheng Peng's escort team, the tiger head team of the original Anxi Tiger Battalion, and the first to fight was Guo Ziyi, which made Zhang Jian very unhappy.

The first time he led the team, Zhang Rui suffered an arrow on his ass when he retreated, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and now there is a big opportunity to attack, but the tiger head team can take the lead, what is this called, the bones are gnawed by themselves, and the meat is all for others to eat?

It's strange if you're not red-eyed.
