Chapter two hundred and forty-eight disasters fall from the sky(1/2)
It was already the hour of Hai, which was ninety o'clock in the evening.
There was no entertainment in ancient times, so I usually went to bed at 7:00 a.m.
Especially in autumn, you may sleep earlier.
Otherwise, do you think those ministers will enter the palace after three in the morning to prepare for court, and will they still go to bed just like us, just like us?
For example, inside and outside Jinzhou City, most of the soldiers had fallen asleep long ago because they had been fighting for a day and were very mentally and physically exhausted.
Even those who are not directly involved are still in tension.
Therefore, after half an hour, when Fang Lei and the others floated past Jinzhou City, they saw black and black everywhere, and only a few places were lit with fireworks.
There are both inside and outside the city, and everyone is afraid that the other party will attack, so it is impossible that they are all black.
Of course, this level of light is far from visible to the hot air balloon.
When you see it, you will only think it is a bigger fireflies and the like.
From ancient times to the present, human threats have basically come from land, at most, plus the ocean, and there has been no man-made attacks from the air.
Therefore, no idiot can do anything air defense.
The Shiwei people are even more unaware of it.
During the day these days, Fang Lei actually drove a hot air balloon and observed the situation of the battle at an altitude of 300 meters, especially the distribution of the Shiwei coalition forces.
He has a clairvoyance and can see it very clearly.
The camp of the Shiwei coalition was still dominated by a circular encirclement.
The east and west sides are wider, and the north and south sides appear smaller in circles.
After all, there is a mountainous area to the north of Jinzhou City and a sea to the south.
The spacious official roads are from east to west, which is more convenient for passage.
However, their main attack direction was in the north, which was where Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing were.
However, as a material storage, the warehouse of the Shiwei Alliance was very well organized. It was not that there was only one area that was seen on TV, but that there were four warehouses in the southeast, west and north.
Obviously, their coach had read the Three Kingdoms and knew the consequences of Wuchao being burned.
Now even if something happens, the remaining food will be enough to last for a long time until new food arrives.
Oh, not just food, but also all kinds of military equipment.
So Shi Wei people are not stupid.
But Liu Mingqi is smarter.
In addition to asking Fang Lei to see which warehouse is the largest, he also asked him to focus on which side of the horse's ring to see more horses.
Shi Wei people are not stupid, but they do not exceed the restrictions of this era.
Horses are originally intended to be used in a concentrated manner. It is impossible for me to have 50,000 cavalrymen, and the horses are scattered into dozens of places to be kept in captivity. This will greatly reduce mobility and strength.
If you encounter an enemy cavalry raid, you don't even have time to react.
Therefore, their horses must be stored in large quantities in captivity, and at most they are divided into two places.
After Fang Lei went to see it, as Liu Mingqi said, most of their horses were kept in captivity in two directions.
There are more to the west because it leads to Ningyuan City.
If there is any accident in Ningyuan City, they can go to rescue them as soon as possible.
Fang Lei estimated that there were at least 50,000 horses in the horse circle in the west, and they were located in the middle and rear of the entire camp.
Just in time, about one mile away are the granary and material warehouse.
I believe everyone has seen that Liu Mingqi’s plan is actually very simple.
That is to use oil to burn horse rings and granaries.
Once the horse ring is burned, the horse will run around and there will be a very powerful danger of trampling.
If you don’t ask to trample all enemies on that side to death, and if you step on till 20,000 to 30,000, they will be severely damaged.
As for granaries and material warehouses, it is even simpler. If they burn too much, their supply will become a problem.
Liu Mingqi didn't believe that they could replenish various materials again and again.
If Wei Guo was really so rich, would he still use it to seize the territory and things of my Dakang?
Fang Xiaopang thought so too.
...
It is difficult to throw oil from the air if it is too high.
After all, if you throw such a high place, you won’t know where the wind will float.
So the lower the hot air balloon, the better.
Fang Lei has experimented with such throwing in other open spaces, and the position is about fifty meters most suitable.
With assured as safe as possible, the oil spilling error range will not exceed twenty meters.
This is enough.
After all, the range of 50,000 horses is very large, with a range of more than ten miles in a row!
Of course, it is impossible for the Shiwei people to have all the horses in the same horse circle. The horse circle is divided into dozens of different pony circles, so that the mix can be avoided and thus reduce a lot of trouble.
Including the trampling caused by any circumstances.
This is also the result of their various experiences over the past few hundred years.
But they never expected that this time a group of hell messengers would fly into the sky.
Once the oil is thrown on the ground, on the horses, or on the wooden railings, their forages... will not stop burning at all.
Such large-scale scintillation, coupled with the various harmful gases burning from oil, would be strange if the horses were not anxious or crazy after they smelled it!
Distance determines, and the position of the throwing is also given.
Fang Lei held a meeting with his assistants in advance and decided to start throwing the sprinkler at the westernmost place and then headed west.
This not only prevents the horse from escaping westward, but also constantly drives them to attack into Shiwei's military camp.
The person who controls the best hot air balloon is naturally Fang Lei.
So he was the first to come.
There is about two miles away from the horse circle, which is the military camp, and there are tents from the Shiwei coalition forces here.
It is not to prevent Ningyuan City's army from coming, but to better manage the horse.
But because there has never been any accident in the past few months, those who are far away from the battlefield have also relaxed their vigilance.
Even though Fang Lei and the others had gradually dropped to more than 60 meters, the place was still pitch black and there was no movement at all.
There were constant teams raising torches in the camp, but there was no one here.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that it is late autumn and the weather is very cold at night.
Everyone was sleeping in the tent, and even the sentries curled up and hid in the warmth.
Fang Lei's hot air balloon entered the edge of the horse ring and began to cut off the cowhide bag. The sticky oil kept spilling down, just outside the horse ring.
He surrounded it for about fifty meters, and all the three cowhide bags of oil on the left and right sides were sprinkled clean.
When he raised the hot air balloon, except for some horses neighing for a while, he did not alarm any enemies.
After Fang Lei finished his work, another hot air balloon started to sprinkle oil on both sides.
Next, the remaining hot air balloons began to sprinkle oil around the warehouse.
The movement became a little louder at this time, and the horse's neighing sound became more anxious. There were even horses that started running and dodging the oil splashed on them.
They led more horses to dodge, and the neighing sound seemed particularly harsh in the darkness.
"What's it!?"
"Oh my God, monster!!!"
At this moment, a wake-up sentry stood up and found these huge hot air balloons that were only about fifty meters away from the ground.
The burning fire and the huge balloon didn't look like a monster?
While he screamed, he turned around and lay on the ground, quickly kowtowing to the demons and monsters, hoping not to find him.
The sentry yelled and made many sentry wake up.
They also acted like this, after all, the grassland people believe in gods, Buddhas and demons more.
Just like that, hundreds of people have been alarmed in a blink of an eye.
The torch immediately lit.
Some tenth chiefs, centurions, etc., were also creepy when they saw the flying monsters. They quickly summoned their subordinates to start being on guard and were ready to run away if they had any problems.
Even now, they have not seen clearly the people inside the hot air balloon.
