Chapter 1099: A Fire Falls from the Sky
Something like a glider is not unbelievable for the Chinese people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When Li Yi explained the key to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, everyone was shocked at first, but it soon turned into thoughts such as "I see" and "Why didn't I think of it earlier".
In fact, the gap between the two is a layer of paper, and it is not unusual to break it.
These craftsmen of the Datang Ministry of Industry have the ability to create catapults, bed crossbows, and crossbow cars, which are sharp weapons of war, and naturally there is no reason why they can't fiddle with gliders, and the things they make have no quality problems at all, and the risks mainly come from nature itself.
The first is turbulence. As the altitude changes, the temperature changes significantly in the mountains, because the updrafts formed by the temperature difference, intersecting with the winds blowing from the north, can easily form turbulence. Soon after Li Yi took off, he encountered this thing, a gust of northerly wind blowing sideways made the glider jolt up and down, Li Yi hurriedly lowered the nose of the glider and lowered the altitude slightly to avoid the strong crosswind.
This kind of operation is quite a test of experience and skills. If you do it too fast or too slowly, it will cause problems. Li Yi didn't know if anyone had problems because of this, the strong wind blocked his senses, and at this moment, he could only silently pray for the warriors under his command.
The grasp of the direction is the second trouble. The mountain peaks that take off are very high, so you don't have to worry about hitting the mountain wall, but if you get lost and turn around halfway, it's hard to say. The darkness obscures the view, the glider is not a real flying machine, and with the current visibility, if the danger is present to the naked eye, the danger is already inevitable.
Fortunately, there is the navigation of the Tang Army camp under the Sword Pavilion.
The rockets that are constantly released into the air in the camp are actually primitive fireworks, and the black gun* powder made by Li Yi has limited power, and it can't be made into musket artillery. Although there are quite a few stinkers, it is basically guaranteed to be released without interruption, and as long as you pass through the clouds, you can use this most primitive means to navigate.
After flying close to the Sword Pavilion Pass, the fire on the Sword Pavilion Pass and the lights of the Tang Army camp became the best guiding light.
The last trouble is in the landing session.
There are torches on the Sword Pavilion Gate, but there is no lighting in the Gate. Before landing, the fighters simply couldn't see what was under their feet. Maybe it's a house, or maybe it's a street, and that's lucky; Or maybe it's weapons or sundries, and if you encounter this, you'll be unlucky; The most unfortunate thing is to run directly into the patrolling guards, or the fortifications in the pass. The glider, which is two feet wide and more than one foot long in front and back, is so big that even if it can land safely, it will be difficult not to attract the attention of the enemy.
Li Yi set a specific way for this, and the strange costumes on everyone's bodies were set up for this.
When the glider reaches a certain height from the ground, the fighters will abandon the glider, spread their limbs, and continue to glide like large flying squirrels with the help of the power of the sackcloth ride.
When abandoning the glider, they will ignite the fuse with the ignition on their body, and the other end of the fuse will be connected to the gunpowder on the glider.
That is to say, once every soldier successfully completes all the tactical moves, then there will be a sniper lurking in the shadows in the Sword Pavilion Pass. At the same time, a large fireball will appear in the sky above the Sword Pavilion Pass!
Divine soldiers descended from the sky, this is the whole picture of Li Yi's plan to raid the Sword Pavilion Pass, and it is also where his confidence lies.
However, Li Yi's confidence is the panic of the Shu army.
When Wu Lan rushed out of the military tent when he heard the sound, it was a little late, and he didn't see the whole process, but it was enough to make him frightened. I saw a large fireball appear in the sky above the Sword Pavilion Pass, as if the sun that was supposed to rise a few hours later appeared in advance, but accidentally stepped on the air and fell from the sky.
Wu Lan admits that her idea is a bit ridiculous, but in the empty void, a big fireball suddenly appeared, which is ridiculous in itself, how can it be explained without absurd reasons?
Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the fireball seemed to be alive, sliding slowly and rapidly in the air, falling, and finally crashing to the ground, provoking exclamations.
"The sky is above, what the hell is this......" Someone behind Sima Ju let out the same exclamation as him.
Others are asking loudly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Obviously, these people showed up late, or were blocked by their companions, and did not see the amazing scene.
Immediately, a great force came from behind, pushing Wu Lan and the people who were standing in front of the door like him away, and Liu Bei's broken gong voice sounded: "Who?!" Who is disturbing the morale of the military? Haven't all returned to their own formations......"
He was only halfway through his words, and someone raised his hand and pointed out the direction for His Majesty Emperor Zhangwu, telling him what had happened.
Liu Bei pursed his lips and said disappreciably: "Isn't it just someone who set the fire?" Li Yi is cunning, and there are a lot of spies under him......"
This time, his words were still not finished, and in the endless darkness, there was a vast void, as if the heavens and the earth were first opened, and the moment of vitality appeared, a little spark lit up in the sky, and then quickly expanded, and finally turned into a fireball.
This is the whole process of the appearance of the fireball.
Whether it was Liu Bei who came out at the end or Wu Lan who came out at the earliest, there was no impassioned shouting of the battle horn, only endless panic and shock.
While the fireball was expanding, it was still gliding, as if there was an invisible line, being pulled by an invisible hand, patiently choosing the right target to attack, and then ......
"Not good!"
"Run!"
"Help!"
……
The thick darkness deprived people of their sense of distance, and they were shocked by the wonders in front of them, until the fireball was about to fly overhead, and the generals of the Shu army suddenly discovered that this fireball was actually coming towards the palace!
The wolf ran suddenly, the guards could not take care of His Majesty Emperor Zhangwu, the generals could not care about the prestige, everyone fled in embarrassment, and there was a "boom" behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the fireball in the air had disappeared, and together with the original palace, it turned into a huge bonfire, blazing.
The raging fire dispelled the darkness, illuminated the surroundings, and illuminated the pale faces of all people.
The fire brought not only light, but also a wave of heat, but no one could feel it, and everyone was chilling. A biting chill penetrated into the body from the Heavenly Spirit Gai, like cold water with ice cubes, flowing from the top of the head to the feet, freezing the bone marrow.
"Yes...... Gotta ...... Skyfire, got? After a long time, someone finally broke the silence, only three words, and said for a long, long time, most of the time, it was the sound of his teeth fighting, crisp and coherent.
"Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty has used a spell! He summoned the heavenly fire! The second man's words were smooth, but the rapid tone and sharp voice were as piercing as the neighing of a night owl, and at once the hearts of the people were tightened.
This person called out everyone's thoughts, no matter what kind of thoughts they had in the emergency military meeting just now, at this moment, the thoughts of the Shu generals were surprisingly unanimous.
What else could explain everything in front of us besides Skyfire?
I don't know if it's because of the chaos in the Sword Pavilion Pass, or if the ceremony has ended, the singing and music of the Tang Army camp under the city can no longer be heard, but the beautiful but shuddering voice has been hovering in everyone's minds.
Singing is a spell, the rocket is sacrificed to the sky, and finally the heavenly fire is drawn, which is very in line with the steps of the legendary spell casting.
The fire of heaven fell from the sky, undoubtedly to punish himself for these sinners, what should he use to resist?
A cry rang out from the crowd, instantly infecting a group of people. The cry was so contagious that it spread so quickly that it only took a few breaths to resound from far and near.
"Don't make a noise!" Liu Bei was also frightened to the point that his hands and feet were cold, but his reason told him that there must be something strange in this, and he couldn't mess up now, once it was messy, it would really be defeated......
Hey? Defeated?
He was startled by his own thoughts, how could he have thought of this? The 60,000 army is stationed at the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Pass, how can it be lost?
Yes, this is a trick, it must be Li Yi's trick, he wants to use tricks to mess with his army's heart!
Thinking like this, Liu Bei calmed down and scolded loudly: "What are you crying about? Don't be afraid, this is just a trick, besides, even if it's true, we have an army of 60,000 and the Sword Pavilion Guantian Danger, just with these two fires, who can we do? ...... all."
This night was definitely a rather unfortunate moment for Liu Bei, and every time he tried to make a tirade to boost morale, someone would oppose him, as if it were on purpose.
This time it was worse than the previous two, and he almost bit his tongue.
Because the fireballs have appeared again, and there are ten of them!
Moreover, these ten fireballs only burned, and ten more fireballs lit up, and immediately after, one after another fireballs burned in the sky above the Sword Pavilion Pass.
The flames burned in the eyes of everyone, engulfing the roar of His Majesty Liu Bei, Emperor Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty, stirring up one riot after another, screaming and screaming one after another, and the atmosphere seemed to be the end of the world.
This time, no one around the palace spoke.
This time, the fireball landed far away from them, and fear spread in the hearts of the soldiers of the Shu army, in the face of such a magic that exceeded common sense, could the Sword Pavilion Pass still be able to hold it?
In the face of this kind of danger that human power cannot resist, it is natural to ask people with strong mana to fight against it. But is there such a person in the Sword Pavilion Pass?
Everyone was silent, looking at Liu Bei in unison, and looked at the latter in a cold sweat.
Liu Bei was also very frightened, he told everyone before that this was Li Yi's trick, as long as he was cautious, he would not be afraid. But the current scene like a meteor shower, can it be done by a trick?
I saw with my own eyes that the fireball was generated from scratch, roaring and smashing towards the Sword Pavilion Pass, and even smashed into his own palace, if he hadn't been alarmed in advance and walked out, he would have turned into a roast pig by now!
