Chapter 351: Take off
White smoke and fire flickered across the battlefield. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Another round of charging cavalry fell in front of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.
At this time, Guduo finally understood the desperation that Kuha faced on the battlefield.
After a day and a night of fierce fighting, his light cavalry also suffered heavy losses in the fierce battle with the Jinwuwei, and both they and the forbidden army continued to invest their forces in the battle for the grain route.
But now that balance has been broken, the Qingzhou Army has appeared here, with that fire-breathing weapon.
The barbarian cavalry, already exhausted, was no longer able to defeat them, and round after round of charges, the barbarian cavalry kept falling.
"Tell Bei Shan Taiji about the situation here."
Guduo was covered in blood, and the barbarian cavalry would not retreat until they received the order to retreat.
Although these Qingzhou troops are terrifying, they are not as fast as the cavalry after all, as long as they do not approach these soldiers, they will not be in danger.
As soon as his words fell, he saw the cavalry wearing silver cuirass rushing over, these cuirassiers maintained a tight formation, no matter how harassed by the cavalry archery there was no confusion, the cavalry in front fell, and the cavalry behind would make up for it, always like a torrent of steel.
It was the constant forward attacks of these cavalry that caused them heavy losses, and they had never seen such an attack before.
Grabbed the reins and galloped away, and the bones immediately avoided its edge.
At this time, he saw Jin Wuwei under the protection of the Qingzhou Army, re-gather the grain and grass, and go to the garrison of the forbidden army.
At this time, it was Qi Guangyi who was collecting Jin Wuwei and re-escorting the grain and grass.
When the barbarians attacked the grain road, the people who rhymed with grain and grass surrounded the carriages transporting grain and grass in a circle, and all the people hid behind the carriages.
During this time, basically Jin Wuwei and the barbarian cavalry were fighting, although the people also suffered casualties, but the casualties were not large.
Now that the barbarian cavalry attacking the grain road has been routed, without further ado, it is time to transport the grain and grass to the Jinwuwei camp.
Under the escort of the Qingzhou Army, the chaotic grain and grass team began to advance slowly.
Guduo watched this scene anxiously, but he had no choice but to wait for reinforcements to come.
Just when Qi Guangyi led the musketeers and cuirassiers to fight, at this time, behind an open wood, Zhan Xingchangzheng 500 musketeers and 1,000 cavalry helped Liang Yubin and He Cheng heat up the hot air balloon.
"This is the map, now we are probably in this location, Jizhou City is thirty miles away due north, twenty miles northeast of Fencheng, the first thing you want to go to now is Fencheng to get in touch with the Governor of Niu Ben in the city, and tell him the current distribution of the forbidden army."
Zhan Xingchang carefully instructed Qi Guangyi.
Now that the war is stalemate, although both sides are in a stalemate, it will also turn into a big war at any time, and now the communication of news is extremely important.
Liang Yubin nodded, now that the hot air balloon heating has been completed, he and He Cheng boarded the hot air balloon.
At this time, the soldier pulling the hot air balloon let go of his hand, and the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air.
The drought in Jizhou naturally made the weather cloudless, and the wind was very small, so the hot air balloon began to move slowly northward after liftoff.
Zhan Xingchang looked at the slow-moving hot air balloon with some helplessness, he always doubted the role of this hot air balloon on the battlefield.
Sending the hot air balloon to the sky, Zhan Xingchang said to the soldiers around him: "You go immediately to help the forbidden army transport grain and grass, and if it is too late, I am afraid that the barbarian cavalry will come again." ”
This time, the barbarians were very cunning and cut off the grain and grass six miles away from the forbidden army camp, which made the forbidden army only watch the grain and grass being cut off and unable to rush to the aid in time.
Because the formation in front of it is chaotic, the barbarians will inevitably attack with a large army, and at that time, it will be a complete loss.
Just after Zhan Xingchang gave the order, the people of the entire battlefield saw a huge thing slowly rising from the water forest.
Except for the Qingzhou Army, the forbidden army and the barbarians all looked at the big ball fluttering in the sky in horror, so that many people forgot to fight.
At this time, the hot air balloon stayed at a distance of three hundred meters, which was not a high position, but it was enough to ensure that no weapon could damage the hot air balloon.
At the same time, such a close distance allows the two to clearly observe the situation on the ground.
"You brute dogs, come and beat me, come and beat me."
He Cheng shouted on the hot air balloon, and their voices could not be heard on the ground at a distance of three hundred meters, but this could not stop the two of them from being excited at this time.
As a native of Qingzhou, who is not full of hatred for barbarians.
While venting, the two kept adjusting the altitude to find the right wind direction and headed in the direction of Fencheng.
"Brother Liang, it's better to throw a powder jar down." He Cheng picked up a powder jar with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"This can't be littered, Your Highness said, this powder jar should be thrown in a crowded place." Liang Yubin said.
He Cheng reluctantly put down the powder canister, and then they suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, but the direction of this wind was due north.
"Found a wind layer." Liang Yubin smiled, "When we go north, we will find the direction of the wind to the west." ”
He Cheng nodded, and the two of them manipulated the hot air balloon to constantly adjust the altitude, constantly going up and down, floating around.
In the camp of the forbidden army, the forbidden army suffered more than 10,000 casualties in yesterday's fierce battle, and the barbarian cavalry also dropped thousands of corpses.
It was not until the evening that the two sides stopped fighting and rested and ate.
However, in order to prevent the attack of the barbarian cavalry, they can only take turns to eat, and always maintain the battle formation to defend against the barbarian cavalry.
After daytime, they continued to stalemate, and at this moment, Luo Hong saw a strange thing floating from the sky, which had been drifting towards the camp of the barbarians.
Chagatai also saw this thing floating from the sky, and he was a little confused, and even a little afraid.
But just as the thing floated over their heads, suddenly a black thing fell from it.
Before they could react, a violent explosion suddenly sounded dozens ......of meters away from Chagatai, and a group of cavalry fell into the flames.
Chagatai was shocked, he saw it clearly, it was obviously the gunpowder jar of the Qingzhou Army.
The thing that flew into the sky was actually throwing a powder jar at them, and Chagatai suddenly felt a chill behind him, what the hell was this strange thing.
It's just that this strange thing doesn't seem to stay and floats north with the wind, which is where the silver tent of Beishan Taiji is.
Thinking of this, he was shocked and immediately sent someone to inform Beishan Taiji of this.
On the hot air balloon, Liang Yubin laughed, passing by the barbarian soldiers, they lost a few gunpowder canisters, but they could only lose a few, because the wind carried the hot air balloon constantly moving, and they had no way to throw it all the time.
As King Qi said, their most important task is to scout and deliver news, and this matter of throwing the powder jar is just to deter the barbarians, if they can scare them out, it would be the best. (To be continued.) )
