Chapter 247: Air Force

"Eye-opening?" Ling Huan asked curiously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then he said with some disbelief: "I am from the Confidential Division, our department is responsible for protecting all kinds of secrets, and all new weapons and equipment must be filed in our division, I don't believe it, what other good things do we have in the Xuan Army, which our Confidential Division does not know?" ”

"It's not actually new, it's just that a new tactic has been being experimented with recently." Lin Yi explained a little, then didn't say more, and concentrated on his own affairs.

Ling Huan's eyes widened, waiting for Lin Yi to "open his eyes".

Lin Yi took three of his own group of people, each walked to his "dragon horse", led the horse to another hill dozens of meters high, and then began to unload the materials from the horse.

Ling Huan followed all the way, from his point of view, Lin Yi's height was about 1.8 meters, but standing next to the "Dragon Horse", he couldn't even reach the shoulder position of the war horse, and it was visually estimated that this "Dragon Horse" was at least 2 meters tall.

Ling Huan couldn't help but sigh, "What a huge beast." ”

On the backs of these "dragon horses", there are two wide blankets on the left and right sides of the front and back, and the left and right sides of each blanket are divided into 5 parts.

When they were opened, they were all the same, a long cylindrical object made of 10 bamboos on the left and right sides of the blanket, and a tapering protrusion at one end of the bamboo tube.

One horse has two blankets, a total of four horses and eight blankets, a total of 80 bamboo tubes. Lin Yi casually took out a bamboo tube, took out a more stretched fuse from his waist bag, and fixed it on the bamboo tube little by little.

Ling Huan stepped forward, weighed it with his hand, it was about 10 catties, and pressed the fuse, then this thing was filled with gunpowder.

Such a heavy explosive package can only be delivered by mechanical force, and if you want to deliver a 10-kilogram projectile, the weight of the artillery must be at least more than 1,000 kilograms.

Ling Huan was very sure that when this horse team came, it did not carry a cannon. Looking left and right, he didn't find an assembled trebuchet or ballista, and Ling Huan's curiosity was completely aroused.

After watching it for a long time, I really didn't know the essentials, so I could only ask, "This is the equipment you use to deal with the bandits in the mountains?" How are you going to get such a heavy explosives bag? ”

Lin Yi replied with a wicked taste, "It's good to watch it slowly, it's so boring to say it." ”

Ling Huan was speechless, he could only slander in his heart, how could there be such a bad guy in the serious tiger team, having said that, the character of these tiger ben is getting closer and closer to that of a natural person.

Lin Yi and the others found a relatively steep face on the hill, and then took you to dye two straight torch belts in the direction of which side.

When he was done, he picked up a bag of explosives filled with a fuse, walked to the place near the cliff, and placed the bag with his head facing forward.

Looking at this somewhat familiar scene, Ling Huan popped up a word "airdrop" in his mind, when the Houjin army was surrounded in the mountains and rivers between Anzhou and Suchuan, an observation team was trapped on the mountain, and he relied on the falcon to airdrop supplies to save the 10 officers and soldiers on the mountain.

"You want to use the falcon to throw the explosives bag into the mountain?"

"Yo, I guessed it so quickly, my brain turned fast enough."

Ling Huan ignored Lin Yi's ridicule, looked at the arrangement in front of him with golden eyes, and asked, "Then why did you launch the rocket just now?" Wouldn't it be nice to let the falcon quietly drop the explosives pack? What if you startle the snake and let the enemy run away? ”

Before Lin Yi could answer, Ling Huan had already figured it out by himself, "No, the falcon's vision at night is limited, if there is no guidance from the firelight, you may not be able to find the target at all, you are positioning the falcon." ”

Glancing at the two rows of torches in a straight column, Ling Huan affirmed his guess, "Definitely right, the torches here are also lit to illuminate the falcons so that they can adjust their flight direction correctly." ”

After being excited for a long time, the question appeared in his heart again, "There is such a convenient means, so why don't you use it during the day?" During the day, the falcon has such good eyesight, it can fly directly from dozens of kilometers away, and then fly back after the explosion, doesn't it save a lot of effort? ”

Lin Yi sighed, "If only it were that simple, our Xuan army could sweep the world with air superiority, but it's a pity"

When Ling Huan heard that he had swept the world, he was already excited, but the unfinished "pity" behind Lin Yi made him frown again, and he hurriedly asked, "It's a pity?" What a pity? Could it be that there is something wrong with this? ”

"It's a big problem." Speaking of this, Lin Yi was silent again, holding the eagle whistle in his mouth, blowing a long sound, and a sound of response came from the air, and then a vigorous figure fell from the sky.

I saw that figure, adjusting its posture along the "runway" where the torches were discharged, flew low and swept over the explosives bag, and before staggering, the claws firmly grasped the explosives bag, and the two fell off the cliff together.

Ling Huan was shocked in his heart, "The falcon has fallen." Immediately screamed and rushed to the edge of the cliff, but before he could shout the word "help", the falcon was already flying with the explosives bag.

The usual vigorous posture was completely gone, only embarrassment and clumsiness remained, and according to the speed of the falcon at this time, Ling Huan believed that as long as a random tiger ben came, he could easily shoot it down.

Even if dozens of bird-gunners come to a round of guns, it is very likely that the falcon will be knocked down at this time.

He finally understood what Lin Yi meant by "pity" just now, the carrying capacity of the falcon was only one catty, and as long as it exceeded this amount, its speed would be greatly affected.

I thought earlier, it is indeed impossible to sweep the world with this means, and at this speed, even if it is to blow up a few firearms, it is basically interesting, not to mention Daming and other countries with a high degree of popularity of firearms.

Although the use of falcons to bombard at night has a certain degree of safety, it must have the disadvantage of an open fire to guide the direction, which also makes this tactic unable to be used in large-scale battles between the two armies.

Seeing that the falcon had slowly flown over the cottage occupied by the old knife handle, but he hadn't seen it throw explosives for a long time, Ling Huan was a little anxious.

Lin Yi put away the second explosive bag, and then explained, "This is another difficulty in the falcon bombing, they only have two claws, all of them are holding the explosives, and it is not easy to pull the fuse while throwing, sometimes until they are tired of flying, they may not be able to pull the fuse." ”

Finally, he sighed, "So, our air force road is still very far away." ”

"Air Force?" Ling Huan's eyes brightened even more.
