Chapter 849 Bombing Tactics
There are red flags waving on the top of the city.
Nearly a thousand hot air balloons headed out of the city, changing formations in the air.
As I become more and more familiar with the use of hot air balloons, it is obvious that both Shuzhong and Xixia have already figured out many ways to fight with hot air balloons.
There are formations for the army fighting on the ground, and it is quite powerful. The same is true for fighting in the air.
Nearby, the hot air balloons of Qitianjun slowly reunited into a circle in the air.
Round formation, the best defense.
There are obviously many hot air balloons in Shu, and it is undoubtedly a very wise move for the generals of the Qitian Army of Xixia to defend with a circular formation.
When those hot air balloons in Shu approached, there were also orders for flag soldiers in front of the army to wave the flags in their hands.
I was afraid that the hot air balloons of two thousand would change into conical arrays in a short time, with the cone as the tip and the two wings to assist, and wanted to directly pierce the Xixia Army's circular array.
On the top of the city, Li Wangyuan and others were all staring nervously.
Before any force developed the ordnance to restrain the hot air balloon, the hot air balloon was invincible, which made the war less variables and became a bit boring.
As long as there is enough thunder, the winner of the hot air balloon will be basically sure of the victory of the on-site battle.
This made Li Wangyuan and others not nervous.
The number of hot air balloons in Shu is far better than that of the Qitian Army. If the Qitian Army is defeated, the city walls of Chongqing will inevitably be bombed by thunder. Although there is no underground army in Shu, it is impossible to get the Chongqing Prefecture with just a hot air balloon. However, if the soldiers guarding the city are crippled, what should they use to resist when the underground army in Shu arrives?
Two huge formations, one cone formation and the other circular formation, were only a few dozen meters apart in a few minutes.
Rockets on both sides fired.
The light of sparks passed through the air.
Just as the beginning was about to start, a hot air balloon was shot and quickly shaking towards its lower head.
The soldiers in the hanging basket were all gray-white.
Falling from a height of hundreds of meters, there was no parachute in this era and there was no way to survive. Even a strong man in the Zhenwu realm could be said to be sure to die.
If a soldier on a hot air balloon doesn't have any trouble, then if something happens, he will die.
The falling hot air balloon was filled with not only timidity, but also with strong despair.
But the war will not end with the slightest drop of hot air balloons.
After a hot air balloon fell to the ground, due to its powerful impact, the sky-burning thunder exploded in the hanging basket.
This made the soldiers who had been thrown into an unhuman form even more blown to the point of being blown away.
In the hot air balloon array between both sides, the hot air balloons where the generals were located dared not rush forward.
A general may not be afraid of death, but he still has to command the entire army and cannot die lightly.
The hot air balloons in the middle of Shu shot down more than ten Western Xia hot air balloons one after another, tearing a little gap in the circular array.
But hot air balloons were added from the inner circle of the circular array.
The confrontation between spear and shield.
This kind of battle situation is most likely to be stalemate.
Although Li Wangyuan and others were on the city wall, they had to helplessly even though they had tens of thousands of troops.
Hot air balloons caught fire and fell to the ground.
A ball of fire exploded on the ground.
This led to countless pits with traces of gunpowder appearing in the wilderness outside the city.
Time passes gradually.
Li Wangyuan and others were always reluctant to leave the city. Whenever they saw the Qitian Army hot air balloon falling down, they felt heartbroken and bleeding.
With the weaving process of this era, it is very difficult to create every hot air balloon. Otherwise, Xixia would not have had only nearly a thousand hot air balloons so far.
However, as the battle situation gradually became stalemate, the round formation was still on the verge of shattering.
After the hot air balloon in Shu poked into the extremely deep round formation, the formation changed again. The cone formation slowly evolved into a goose formation.
The Yanxing Formation is best at encircling and surrounding.
It is unknown whether the chief general of the Qitian Army in the air realized that the situation was not good, but Li Wangyuan, who was below, saw it very clearly.
Li Wangyuan's face was full of heartache.
If this continues, if the hot air balloons in Shu form a siege, the Qitian Army that he had finally accumulated in Xixia would probably lose all in this battle.
This is undoubtedly a result that he cannot accept.
"Send the order!"
Li Wangyuan issued an order in a deep voice, "Let the Qitian Army retreat! All the soldiers in the city hide in the building."
Heliancheng immediately understood Li Wangyuan's meaning and hurriedly ran down the city to convey orders to the army.
Li Wangyuan undoubtedly planned to let the hot air balloons in Shu bomb Chongqing Prefecture. Anyway, there are no troops on the ground in Shu, and the hot air balloons alone can't take over the entire Chongqing Prefecture.
The flag on the top of the city shook again.
The soldiers with strong vision in the hot air balloon of Qitian Army always paid attention to the movements of their lower heads. When they saw the flag shaking, they shouted: "The emperor has an order, retreat!"
Next to him was a golden army.
The chief general of the Qitian Army heard the sound of gold and did not dare to hesitate, so he immediately ordered a retreat.
As the flag was shaking, hundreds of hot air balloons of the Tiantian army slowly retreated.
They saw the opportunity early, and at this time, the hot air balloons in Shu were undoubtedly unable to form a siege.
In the end, after leaving nearly a hundred hot air balloons, Qi Tianjun was able to get rid of the hot air balloons in Shu and retreat to the city. He headed north and finally landed in the deep mountains.
The mountains are densely covered with trees and their vision is extremely obstructed. Although the hot air balloon in Shu is closely following, he can only watch the Qitian army land on the deep mountains and clearing, and then quickly hide in the mountains and forests.
Undoubtedly, Xixia is already worth a lot of money and has a way out.
A general snorted slightly on the hot air balloon in Shuzhong, and then sent an order, and the army turned back to Chongqing Prefecture.
The sky-blasting thunder like a heavy rain fell towards Chongqing Prefecture.
A fire broke out in the city soon.
Countless houses were blown up, some were killed directly, some were buried in the house, and some people ran out of the house with fire, which was so pitiful.
Their screams were so sad.
Chongqing Prefecture was devastated in a very short time.
During war, the most pitiful thing is the people.
On this day, I don’t know how many people died inexplicably, and I don’t know how many people fell homeless.
The Xixia army hiding everywhere in the city undoubtedly suffered heavy losses.
Li Wangyuan and others didn't even dare to go back to the government office, and went to a certain mansion, and then hid in the wine cellar of the mansion.
This made them suddenly think of ways to deal with hot air balloon bombing.
Li Wangyuan said: "If we encounter this situation again in the future, we must first dig tunnels in the city to prevent lightning."
This is obviously a modern air raid shelter.
It seems that dangers promote human evolution, and this is not false.
It was not until noon that the hot air balloons in Shuzhong were removed.
They seemed to be slower when they came, but they were light and light when they went. Undoubtedly, all the thunder carried in the hanging basket had been thrown into Chongqing Prefecture.
Chapter completed!
