The soldier was silent for a moment and said: "Before leaving, all the Long families had gathered their troops to enter the city. I was afraid that the city gate would be blocked and the mission would be delayed, so I left the city overnight. As for what Chang'an is like now, I really don't know."
Fang Jun nodded slightly and said warmly: "The families in Guan and Long have rebelled, and Chang'an has become a mess. Otherwise, the army will be deceived by rumors, which will shake the morale of the army. You will stay in the army for the time being and are not allowed to move around."
Once the news of the Chang'an rebellion spreads to the army, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army. At this critical moment when the decisive battle is imminent, Fang Jun must eliminate all hidden dangers that disrupt the morale of the army.
The soldier was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Everything must be obeyed by Duke Yue."
Although he was ordered by the prince to come to the Western Regions to deliver the edict, he was subordinate to the Ministry of War. Logically speaking, after delivering the order, he had to rush back to the Ministry of War in Chang'an to submit the receipt, without delaying along the way, otherwise it would be a serious dereliction of duty. But the person in front of him was
As the boss of the Ministry of War, these military rules and regulations are naturally decided by him.
Fang Jun asked Wang Fangyi to take the soldiers down to wash and rest, while he and Pei Xingjian sat in the government office, asking whether the army could provide various techniques and materials for making hot air balloons, and how to make them in a windless or breezy weather.
Conduct detailed and thorough discussions on the attack on the enemy camp.
When it was completely dark, Xue Rengui, who was on the same mission as Fang Jun, returned despite the heavy snow. After listening to Fang Jun and Pei Xingjian's ideas, he suddenly felt that there was much to do.
Fang Jun has an overall view of the overall situation, is knowledgeable and quick-thinking, Xue Rengui is well versed in the art of war and has outstanding strategies, and Pei Xingjian is even more careful and thoughtful. The three of them stayed in the government office from noon until nightfall and heavy snowfall.
Only then did a complete strategy come out.
After a simple dinner, Pei Xingjian did not dare to delay at all, and arrived at the supply camp with the strategy and the drawings of the hot air balloon drawn by Fang Jun himself.
The baggage battalion not only transports ordnance baggage, but is also responsible for the repair and construction of damaged ordnance. For example, during the siege, they are responsible for manufacturing and repairing siege equipment such as carts, crash carts, trebuchets, and ladders.
maintain.
In particular, Youtunwei's supply camp also takes care of the repair and maintenance of firearms, and each of them is an elite craftsman.
Pei Xingjian came to the supply camp with the drawings, summoned the craftsmen in the camp together, and first gave a warning: "From now on, no word of what is happening here shall be leaked to the outside world, even if it is asked by the military lieutenant general. Once leaked, the Military Justice Department will
We will be severely punished and will never be forgiven!"
The craftsmen were so frightened that they were trembling with fear.
Although this army commander Shi has a high qualification and is highly trusted by the commander, and is the most powerful second-in-command in Youtun Guards, he always looks like a gentle and elegant son of a noble family. Even if some soldiers make small mistakes, if they ask for help,
When I'm in front of him, I always keep an open mind.

It is really rare to see someone as severe as today. This also makes everyone understand that there will be extremely important things today, and they dare not neglect...
When Pei Xingjian took out the drawings and unfolded them in front of everyone, many people couldn't help but look at each other.
What is this??
The craftsmen of this era were almost all hereditary. Their ancestors had studied their crafts for generations and had profound attainments in their respective fields. In particular, the Youtun Guards Troop Camp was a gathering of "famous craftsmen". Fang Jun spent a lot of effort to build it, and each one has its own characteristics.
He is very good at his unique skills, but he is completely confused about this drawing and cannot figure out what it is...
However, there was a craftsman who initially followed Fang Jun and had participated in the manufacture of hot-air balloons. He looked at it carefully and asked, "Pei Changshi, was this made by the commander-in-chief?"
Seeing Pei Xingjian nodding, the craftsmen suddenly realized: "This should be a hot air balloon. When the commander-in-chief developed this thing, he carried Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang straight into the sky. It became a good story for a while. Later, this thing became even more popular among the navy."
It is widely used as a lookout weapon, and the enemy can often be found dozens of miles away after taking off."
Pei Xingjian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How can you make it in such a hurry?"
Several craftsmen nodded repeatedly: "How could we forget this? This hot air balloon is really ingenious. It's just a round thing, but I don't know how it can fly into the sky with just a light of fire. The commander is really a scholar, he seems to be a god.
Body care……"
Pei Xingjian quickly interrupted the words of these "fans" of Fang Jun. The more they spoke, the more they spoke, and he ordered: "In this case, you and others will take charge and lead everyone to create this thing as soon as possible. How fast?"
How fast is crucial to the success or failure of this battle, you must not slack off, do you understand me?"
Several people quickly responded: "Here! Although this thing is magical, it is not complicated to make, it just requires precision. And now there are all kinds of materials in Gongyue City, so we will work overtime and deliver it as soon as possible."
Pei Xingjian nodded and said: "You will gather together tonight and explain the drawings clearly to everyone. We will start manufacturing early tomorrow morning. I will be responsible for supervising. All materials needed, no matter what they are, can be used by yourself. If there are any
If you obstruct, you will be punished severely!"
All the craftsmen responded in unison: "Here!"
That night, the craftsmen gathered together, and several old craftsmen who had participated in the manufacture of hot-air balloons explained the drawings to everyone. They could also answer questions one by one when others asked them. Soon everyone understood what the manufacturing process was.
what.
Finally, an old craftsman said: "As craftsmen, we have always been lowly and looked down upon by others. But in this Youtun Guard, the commander regards us as warriors who charge into battle."
, not only have they never practiced it, but they have also blindly raised our salaries, rewarded us, and even granted official positions to those who have made outstanding contributions! How can we repay such kindness?"
Everyone said in unison: "My kindness is as deep as the sea, and I will never stop it until I die!"
Craftsmen have always been inferior to others. Not to mention those scholars and officials, even ordinary farmers can hold down a lot. In some cases, they will even become slaves of the powerful. They are private property and no different from livestock. Life has always been in dire straits, and generations of generations have suffered.
Exploitation by the powerful.
But in Youtunwei, the craftsmen are given extremely high dignity and treatment. How can everyone not be grateful?
Everyone is willing to die for Fang Jun!
"fart!"
The old craftsman stared angrily and cursed: "Does the marshal need you to die? Look at each of you, are you comparable to the marshal's carefully selected armored cavalry, or are you comparable to Mo Dao Ru Lin?
, Mo Swordsman who walks like a wall? What you have is just your skills! Try your best to do every task assigned by the Commander to perfection. This is the best reward! Our value lies in taking the Commander into consideration.
Make those fantastic ideas in your mind concrete, instead of giving this bad life to the commander!"
The craftsmen were so inspired by him that they got up early the next morning and started preparing various materials. Two days later, they started working overtime to build the hot air balloon.
Fang Jun didn't have high requirements for the hot air balloon. As long as it could fly and carry a load, he didn't even think much about safety. As long as it could reach the enemy camp 90% of the time, it didn't matter if it was damaged halfway.
You can't think too much about human life at this time, otherwise you will tie yourself up, not to mention that the current situation must be resolved quickly so that the troops can be led back to Guanzhong and King Qin can rescue him.
Soon the first hot air balloon was built, and Fang Jun, Pei Xingjian, and Xue Rengui arrived at the camp outside the city to conduct a simple test.
After testing, it was found that the hot air balloon could not only fly, but also carry a weight of about three hundred kilograms. It was a soldier and a two hundred kilogram firearm. Fang Jun was very satisfied when he arrived.
After that, the baggage battalion went all out to make hot air balloons, while Fang Jun stayed in Gongyue City, ordering the scouts to closely monitor the movements of Dashi's army while waiting for a suitable weather.
There is no way. The hot air balloons produced by the current technology are not only low in safety, but also too light in weight. A strong wind can make them fly far away. If we don't wait for a day with light winds, this kind of balloon will
The hot air balloon flew over the enemy camp and had no time to throw the firearm it carried. It was blown south by the strong wind and directly hit the Tianshan Mountain...
For the next few days, Fang Jun was very irritable, because waiting for a day with less wind in the winter in the Western Regions was really no better than the flowering of iron trees.
The army has been gathering all day long, and the soldiers have made all preparations to ensure that they can go to war at any time. However, the snow and wind have not stopped, causing the soldiers to become bored and their morale has been low.
If the Dashi army cannot be completely defeated, the Youtun Guards will definitely not be able to return to the capital. Is it possible that they really just sit back and watch Li Chengqian defeat the imperial city and his body is missing?
Until one night, Fang Jun was sleeping on the bed in a daze, but someone kicked the door open. Before he could reprimand him angrily, he heard someone shouting: "The wind has stopped!"
"..."
All Fang Jun's drowsiness and annoyance disappeared in an instant, his eyes brightened, he jumped up from the bed like a carp, ran to the door barefoot and looked out.
The heavy snow is still falling, but the strong wind that has been raging for many days has stopped...
