Chapter 681 The Immortal Boat rises over Xixia... (first update)
As Gao Zhang's orders were issued one after another, the Song army, which was still several miles away from Jingyuan Fort, began to disperse and surrounded Jingyuan Fort.
As for the flying thunder artillery battalion of that battalion, it was directly split into four combat groups.
There are two east and west gates with thirty gun batteries each, and the two north and south gates have twenty gun batteries each.
When all the armies of the Song Dynasty had been dispatched, they had already reached a place a few miles away from Jingyuan Fort.
Gao Zhang, who had been paying attention to the direction and strength of the wind, glanced at Zhao Abban.
"What are your orders from Duke Zhuang Yuan?"
Zhao Ya, who had never had a chance to show off his talents, took two steps forward and bowed respectfully.
Under the gaze of the officers and soldiers of the Qianxi Army, Gao Zhang gave instructions to the second-in-command of the Imperial City Division.
"Today the wind is blowing from the north, not very strong. Right here, the Immortal Boat is rising..."
"The Immortal Boat...what is that? Is it also one of the weapons invented by this Privy Councilor Gao?"
But now that such a round and seemingly harmless thing is being used to make people laugh to death?
But siege weapons, since ancient times, have been either very heavy and strong, or as ferocious and fierce as the Eight Bull Crossbow.
But seeing this famous general of the Western Army standing just a stone's throw away, he shouted and roared.
Before, the generals of the Western Army who had enjoyed the Seinfeld Thunder Cannon performance all had a question in their minds.
After these tens of thousands of Song troops arrived outside the city, they immediately surrounded the entire Jingyuan Fort.
Seeing the dazed faces of the officers and soldiers of the northwest frontier army of the Song Dynasty, Gao Zhang was both frustrated and helpless. After all, this time, he wanted to conquer Xixia and realize his master's dream.
#####
Gao Zhang stood calmly among the generals of the northwest frontier army, and calmly glanced at these famous frontier generals who were almost stupid.
"..." Zhong Shidao looked directly at Privy Councilor Xiao Gao, who had already irritated everyone outside Pingxia City.
"Under the control of the rope, it can hang in the air at a height of between one hundred feet and two hundred feet for five hours."
The fuel used today is no longer coal or coke, but crude oil.
Not to mention the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia Dynasty who saw the fairy boat take off for the first time.
And now he has begun to show off again, once again making everyone's brains freeze.
Here, at Gao Zhang's signal, Liu Fa rode his horse forward in person, followed by dozens of horsemen behind him.
After Zhao Abban made a loud promise, he hurried away. Soon, a group of powerful agents from the Imperial City Department dressed as imperial guardsmen came and pulled over ten pack horses.
I could only use all the means that could help in the attack on Xixia, just to make the dream of the master who wanted his dream to come true come true.
And the name is very cool, it's called Deng Xianzhou. You can't invite gods to come on this Deng Xianzhou and then use magic to defeat the enemy, right?
As for high-end lighting oil like whale oil, Gao Zhang couldn't bear to use it so much.
The type of boat brought to the northwest frontier now is the fourth generation of fairy boat, which uses a detachable frame made of bamboo and rattan mixed with tough but very light weight.
Because at this moment, the round, oval-shaped Immortal Boat was already under the control of the capable agents of the Imperial City Department.
This also allowed Gao Zhang to urge the craftsmen to repeatedly improve the Immortal Boat for the safety of his master.
The destructive power of the flying thunder cannon made everyone shudder, but now, he can actually fly?
At this moment, Maledubu, the commander of the Xishou Baotai Army in Jingyuan Fort, looked nervously at the Song army outside the city.
After unloading the equipment from the packhorses, they began to assemble it there.
Whenever I have time, I will definitely go to a remote suburban area to experience the feeling of being lifted into the sky and overlooking the world.
Just outside Li Xu, they pieced together everything and finally made an oval-shaped sphere, almost the size of a room.
"I just want to ask you, the soldiers of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, to understand that the past combat methods have begun to undergo drastic changes with the emergence of these new weapons and equipment..."
"Open the city gate, put down your weapons, put your head in your hands and lie down on the ground to beg those who surrender to live. When you leave the city, kill those who flee with weapons."
As soon as these words came out, filthy words were heard all over the city. However, this did not affect Liu Fa. Next, the cavalry behind him displayed several banners.
Watching helplessly, the main body of the hot air balloon has been installed and covered with cloth, and is undergoing final inspection.
The calorific value of this thing is much higher than that of coal, and there is very little residue after burning.
#####
Since the advent of the Immortal Boat, Master Zhao Ji has been extremely obsessed with this feeling of being able to ascend to heaven.
"The Song Dynasty is victorious!"
When those fervent shouts gradually stopped, he continued to speak.
Then they actually started to organize their troops and horses, as if they were waiting for something, and the Song Army soldiers outside the east gate.
This really confused everyone. Could this be a siege weapon developed by Song Guoxin?
"... Generals, this Immortal Boat is an aircraft developed by me that integrates surveillance and attack."
Even Liu Fa and others had seen it several times on their way north, but every time they saw this scene, they were still filled with shock.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were stunned to death by what they saw.
Among the Xixia defenders on top of the city, there were naturally some who could read Chinese characters. When they saw such a statement, they couldn't help but laugh at the Song army outside the city for not overestimating their own capabilities.
Even the generals of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, who were drowned countless times in the sea of blood and corpses, all stared blankly at the rising hot air balloon.
At this moment, the Xixia garrison on the east wall, as well as the Song soldiers and horses below the city, began to faintly stir.
"Give you the last two quarters of an hour to lay down your weapons and surrender."
In the firelight spitting out from the stove, it gradually began to get rid of gravity and gradually rose into the sky.
"Generals, the reason why I want the Forbidden Army to attack and capture Jingyuan Fort, the seat of the Xishou Baotai Military Division."
Furthermore, just like the previous Dengxianzhou boats, they used a heavy iron stove and a huge wooden reciprocating bellows.
At this moment, the Imperial Guards soldiers raised their weapons and began to shout loudly amidst the shouts of the generals.
As Gao Zhang instilled new ideas into the soldiers of the Northwest Frontier Army, the Dengxian Boat rose higher and higher, reaching a height of nearly a hundred feet above the ground.
Yao Gu on the side stared blankly at the Dengxian Zhou, which had become a black spot. After a long time, he saluted Gao Zhang and showed a smile that seemed a little guilty.
"I dare to ask Privy Council Gao, how can the immortal boat communicate with the armies below when it has risen so high?"
Gao Zhang smiled and raised his hand to guide the second-in-command of the Imperial City Division from the side.
