Chapter 303: Bombardment in Turns (6 More)
Hot air balloons in the sky slowly floated into the city of Guangzhou. At this time, the city of Guangzhou was immersed in joy, no one expected that Li Zhen would attack Guangzhou at this time, and no one expected that Li Zhen would enter Guangzhou in this way
Li Zhen stood in a hot air balloon and looked down at the city tower below, and a smile was hooked on the corner of his mouth
He just told Dai Yuanhua about the construction method of the hot air balloon, Dai Yuanhua put forward a complete production idea, and re-planned all the materials required, and easily made the first hot air balloon, at that time Li Zhen and Dai Yuanhua experienced a hot air balloon together, the hot air balloon did not fly high, but tested the basic performance of the hot air balloon
Dai Yuanhua had a complete experience and began to teach the craftsmen under his command to make it in four days, and made 400 hot air balloons in a row, each of which can carry ten people
On the night of the Qixi Festival, the wind blows towards the city
This wind direction was calculated by Liu Taiping early on, in fact, if the wind direction does not match, it is also possible, as long as the wind can be guaranteed to blow to Guangzhou City, Li Zhen can let the soldiers carry the hot air balloon to feel the wind blowing towards Guangzhou City, and with the help of the wind blowing towards Guangzhou City, the hot air balloon will be sent into Guangzhou City
The direction of the wind was blowing from the direction where the camp was located towards the city of Guangzhou, which reduced a lot of trouble
As a person who came up with the idea of using a hot air balloon to enter Guangzhou, Li Zhen knew the shortcomings of the hot air balloon and knew that the hot air balloon was easily affected by the wind direction, so he determined the drifting route of the hot air balloon into the city according to the position of the wind direction as early as possible
As long as there are no high winds, the course will not change
Four hundred hot air balloons are in full swing
Among them, two hundred hot air balloons flew in the direction of Bai Gui's 40,000 army, and the leaders were Qi Zhenhai and Yang Banhou, who were responsible for dealing with Bai Gui's 40,000 army; A hundred hot air balloons floated towards the position where the British and French forces were stationed, and the leaders were Lu Shaochuan and Smith; Fifty hot air balloons floated towards the position of Bourlong and Bao Ling, and the leaders were Li Zhen and Zhu Wu; The last fifty ships led by Huang Shihai went straight to the governor's yamen where Bai Gui was
Hot air balloons appeared in the sky densely with firelight, like heavenly soldiers descending
This scene has been imprinted in the hearts of countless people and will never be forgotten
Wang Xiaoyang is like this, Li Xiaotong is like this, and the octogenarian in the city is down to the six-year-old children, all of whom have seen this unforgettable scene
Waves of screams rang out in the city of Guangzhou
None of this has anything to do with Li Zhen
At this time, Li Zhen stood in the hot air balloon and slowly floated to the location of Bourlong and Bao Ling; The two hundred hot air balloons led by Qi Zhenhai and Yang Banhou approached the position of the 40,000 Qing troops under Bai Gui first. When Qi Zhenhai saw it, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "Blow the trumpet and order the soldiers to drop grenades and bombard the enemy camp."
"Woohoo"
A dull trumpet sounded in the night sky
As Qi Zhenhai spoke, he took out a bundle of grenades, this bundle had ten grenades, and all the fuses had been pulled out, so they didn't need to be pulled, they just needed to be ignited
Qi Zhenhai lit a bundle of grenades with a fire breaker, and threw it hard to the position where the 40,000 Qing army camps were located in front of him, and the fuse burned the fire snake danced wildly, crossing a brilliant parabola in the air, and finally landed in the camp of the 40,000 Qing army
"Boom"
Ten grenades exploded at the same time, with incredible power, and a burst of heat was set off with a bang. Since the grenade landed in the center of the camp where the soldiers were resting, the explosion immediately blew up the tent and the corpses flew and screamed. However, this is just an appetizer, and there has been more than one explosion
Two hundred hot-air balloon soldiers were still throwing bundles of grenades
The first projectile resulted in 800 bundles of grenades falling into the camp of the soldiers under Bai Gui's command
"Boom"
Explosions rang out, and fires in the camp were scattered and the tents were set on fire
Countless Qing soldiers died under the bombardment of grenades, and the blood flowed miserably, and the severed arms emitted a disgusting smell. Fu Zhiyun was resting in the barracks, and when he heard the explosion, he rushed out directly, and when he looked up, he saw the big ball flying in the sky, and sat on the ground in fright
When he saw clearly the soldiers in the hanging basket, his heart was cold
"Withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly"
Fu Zhiyun roared loudly, but the bombs were still exploding, and the 40,000 Qing troops were also chaotic
The most troublesome thing for Fu Zhiyun was that the 40,000 Qing troops were almost resting in one area, and under the repeated explosions, the place where the soldiers rested became a sea of fire, and countless dead and wounded, even the soldiers who escaped became remnants, and the 40,000 troops died more than 10,000 people, and countless wounded, as well as frightened, really sober-minded, and still able to fight, only a very small part remained
Yang Banhou stood in the hanging basket and saw that the hot air balloon had reached the top of the Qing army's barracks, and knew that it had to be lowered, so he ordered: "Reduce the fire and fall."
After the command was delivered, the distinctive sound of the horn was heard again
The fire has subsided, and the hot air balloons have slowly descended
When it was less than twenty meters from the ground, two slings were dropped in the hot air balloon, and two soldiers fell to the ground with the help of ropes first, carefully guarded, and when the distance from the ground was less than four meters, two more soldiers turned over and jumped and the soldiers who came down earlier were on guard
"Wow"
The burning fire went out and the balloon fell to the ground
The soldiers who were still standing inside the hot air balloon quickly got out of the way, and with the soldiers who came down first, they were on guard, and these soldiers could land safely
All 200 hot air balloons came to a halt, and the scene was spectacular
Two thousand soldiers quickly gathered and were in high spirits, raising their guns and launching a charge
Qi Zhenhai and Yang Banhou took the lead, and Qi Zhenhai yelled: "Brothers, kill with me." When Qi Zhenhai rushed into the barracks, the distance between the two sides was shortened, and Qi Zhenhai directly fought with bayonets in close combat. Yang Banhou was also excited to rush in front fearlessly and invincible
Fu Zhiyun saw that the general trend had gone, and his heart was sad
Escape?
Where do you flee?
Fu Zhiyun took a deep breath and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to serve Lord Futai, follow me to kill one person, don't lose money, kill two, and earn" Fu Zhiyun carried a steel knife and didn't hold a gun, which shows that the training he received is still a cold weapon. Fu Zhiyun rushed towards Yang Banhou and roared, and the steel knife in his hand slashed down
"Beyond your means"
Yang Banhou stepped on the chain and turned slightly sideways, easily avoiding Fu Zhiyun's steel knife
"Death"
With a loud shout, the bayonet in Yang Banhou's hand stabbed out like lightning
The bright light flickered in the light of the fire, and only a 'poof' sound was heard, and the bayonet easily poked into Fu Zhiyun's chest. Yang Banhou stirred it vigorously, crushed Fu Zhiyun's heart, and pulled it out decisively
"Poof"
Blood splattered Fu Zhiyun's body shook twice and fell to the ground
This Bai Gui's number one general was directly killed
"The enemy will not kill those who are dead and surrendered"
Yang Banhou heard Fu Zhiyun's shouting just now, and knew that this person was a general in the Qing army, and directly ordered the Qing army to surrender. This roar was very abrupt in the chaotic camp, and immediately caused fluctuations, and one by one the fleeing Qing soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, no longer daring to resist
The 40,000-strong army was defeated
Two thousand heavenly soldiers descended from the sky and won the victory easily
