Everyone followed the sound and saw hundreds of balloons floating vaguely in the black smoke. Under each balloon, there was a flame burning on the hanging basket, which was bright and dark at times, like a will-o'-the-wisp.
The two men kept throwing down some burning fire pots, and smashed them into the Jin army officers and soldiers who all stretched out their necks, looked up to the sky, and couldn't close their mouths in surprise. Many people didn't even notice until they saw these fire pots falling from the sky.
He woke up and dodged around.
Liu Jingxuan's roar seemed to reach the commander's platform: "Quick, shoot the arrows, these are the enemy's flying robots, shoot them down!"
And following Liu Jingxuan's orders, all the archers around him no longer bothered to shoot at the Yan army soldiers in front, or to cover their own soldiers to attack those wooden armored machine men. Thousands of them
Bows and arrows flew into the air one after another, shooting at these flying monsters seven or eight feet above the ground.
With a "pop" sound, an arrow pierced the body of a balloon. The balloon, which was sewn from tent canvas, immediately pierced a hole. A large amount of gas visible to the naked eye came out of this hole.
Bees swarmed out.
The balloon also began to leak air, unable to maintain its height, and fell rapidly. During the fall, the huge air bag was hit by at least a dozen arrows, which accelerated the gush of gas.
Soon, the entire balloon fell heavily to the ground. All the soldiers on the ground ran away quickly during the rapid descent. This was much easier to dodge than the rocks flying from the sky. The soldiers around them were
Surrounded by a distance of more than ten steps from the landing point, archers holding crossbows stepped forward one after another, pointing directly at the hanging basket under the balloon.
And the moment the balloon landed, you could barely see the people in the two hanging baskets. They wanted to jump out, but before they could take action, they were fired by a burst of strong bows and crossbows, because in these Jin people who lack modern scientific knowledge,
It seemed to the military officers that they could not understand how ordinary people could fly into the sky. They might have used witchcraft or magic, or swordsmen and the like. In short, it was unlikely that they were normal human beings. So they shot them to death from a distance.
It's the most feasible option.
The two orchid guards who wanted to jump out of the hanging basket were instantly transformed into hedgehogs. One of them was holding a burning fire pot in his hand, which he was about to throw in the air, but before he could
Throwing it out, it crashed to the ground. This time, the cupping jar fell into the hanging basket, which immediately caused the other remaining cupping jars in the basket to burn. A ball of fire shot up into the sky, and the rolling heat wave was mixed with sulfur.
The smell of fire hit his face, and in an instant, the two corpses, together with the entire airbag that landed on the ground, turned into a huge fireball, burning on the spot.
Liu Yu's expression was serious, and Yu Yue's exclamation came to his ears: "These, what kind of monsters are these? How can they fly in the air, and throw those burning jars into our army array? Yeah, there are people
on fire!"
I saw more than a hundred soldiers at the vanguard. They were hit by these fire pots falling from the sky. The fire oil in the pots poured all over their bodies. When they were burned by the fire, they suddenly became blazing fire and their skin was scorched.
The smell of rotten meat, accompanied by the terrifying howl before death, was clearly audible even though it was hundreds of steps away. The companions around them rushed forward desperately, using the sand on the ground to hit them.
Sprinkle, because everyone knows that if you pour more water on the kerosene at this time, it will only burn more intensely. Some sergeants who did not care about their own safety stepped forward with their sabers to cut off the bonds between the armors of these burning sergeants.
Try to rescue people from these burning armors as quickly as possible.
The rain of arrows from the ground continued to shoot into the air. One after another, balloons seven or eight feet above the ground were shot down. When I realized that the people in these hanging baskets were not gods and ghosts, but people just like myself.
After witnessing the tragic death of their comrades, the Beifu sergeants were furious. They did not even use their bows and crossbows to shoot the fallen guards. Instead, they rushed forward, swords and halberds at once, and wanted to take out the baskets.
The guy who struggled to crawl out was cut into eight pieces and minced into pulp, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
In just this moment, more than thirty balloons landed on the ground, and more than half of them burst into flames. In addition to the flames caused by thousands of fire jars being thrown to the ground, the entire Jin army's forward was plunged into a sea of smoke.
Inside, black smoke billowed, and it was gradually difficult to see clearly what was going on inside.
Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "This object is not a monster or fairy, but a Kongming Lantern. In the past, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, once found a kind of light air, burned it with fire below, and it could rise into the sky. Unexpectedly
, Black Robe actually learned this thing, and was able to make such a large Kongming Lantern, carrying people and throwing fire starters on the ground."
Liu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Ah Shou's response is very good. He is worthy of being a veteran of hundreds of battles. Although this Kongming Lantern can attack us from the air, it will not fly too high. Our bows and arrows can still damage it."
Threat, as long as these large air bags are shot, the so-called light air will leak out, and this thing will fall to the ground. With a height of seven to eight feet, once it falls, the person in the basket will
Almost no physiology."
Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "So, this thing is not a monster, but a human being. It just uses some clever tricks, Zhuge's technique and so on, right?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Yu Gong is right. As long as they are human beings, they can be killed and destroyed."
Having said this, Liu Yu sighed softly: "Actually, I have been wary of this black-robed attack method from the air. I thought about that powerful King Kong monster played by Qinglong Xichao on the circus back then.
, it is used to bring parts to dozens of machine birds and fall from the sky. Earlier I saw Zhang Gang using those wooden armored machine men to fight, and they could even leap into the air. I thought I would encounter such flying machine men again, but no.
Come to think of it, this is actually a method of putting a living person on the Kongming lantern and throwing the cupping pot on the ground."
Wang Miaoyin's beautiful eyebrows frowned: "But why does the black robe use living people? From such a height, as long as it falls, it will lose its physiology. It can be said that there is no return. Such a dead soldier is just to throw some fire.
Wouldn’t it be a pity to just sacrifice the jar?”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "In the eyes of Heipao, human life has never been precious. Moreover, I think these sky lanterns are not just for attacking our forward troops from the air. Look, they are coming here!"
