But then, Wu Zhi was seen drawing a bunch of very strange things on the ground.
Before he could ask, Wu Zhi explained to him.
"What if there is an additional unit now that neither fights the enemy on the ground nor sails in the sea, but flies in the sky?"
"Do you think this kind of strategy is feasible?"
Zhu Wu frowned and pondered for a long time.
"This method is feasible, but what are the attack methods?"
"Is it possible that we need those soldiers in the sky to throw spears down?"
"Even so, how many spears can be mounted on that small hanging basket?"
"In addition, we can also let the soldiers shoot arrows from top to bottom in the hanging basket."
"But there are air currents in the air, and we don't know when there will be gusts of wind."
"When the time comes, the soldiers in the gondola will not only have to shoot accurately, but even if they struggle to aim with arrows, how can they cause effective damage to the enemy?"
The more Zhu Wu talked, the more frustrated he became.
After all, this kind of fantastic idea does have certain benefits for the battle between the two armies.
But after the analysis just now, he felt that this benefit was minimal.
But suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, he thought of another highly practical plan.
"Brother, I understand!"
"You mean, do you mean to sneak in secretly?"
"While it's dark, let the soldiers sit in the hanging basket, and then borrow the hot air balloon above to take off."
"Then, you can fly into the enemy's city without anyone noticing."
"Then, a magic weapon will descend from the sky and catch the opponent by surprise."
"If this method can be implemented, it will indeed be a very clever attack method."
Wu Zhi cast an approving look at Zhu Wu.
"What you just said is indeed a basic form of high-altitude combat."
"But in addition, troops like this hot-air balloon ride can also have another form of attacking the enemy."
Zhu Wu frowned and muttered to himself for a long time.
"another kind?"
However, I still haven't figured out what the so-called second attack method is.
Wu Zhi threw the branch in his hand to the side.
Then, a strong look of memories appeared on his face.
"Brother Zhu Wu, do you still remember the battle we had with Song Jiang's group a few days ago?"
"In the end, how did we achieve victory?"
As soon as Wu Zhi finished speaking, Zhu Wu took up the topic.
"I'm afraid I will never forget that battle in my life."
"Because that style of play completely overturned my understanding of the confrontation between the two armies."
"It's really too incredible."
"You actually use low-quality perfume used by women as a powerful weapon to disrupt the enemy!"
"This kind of fantastic idea is really not something that ordinary people can come up with."
"Moreover, using that kind of miniature catapult as a launching tool is indeed a very remarkable attempt."
"If we don't have these two things, I'm afraid it will definitely not be easy for our Liangshan sergeants to defeat more with less."
But as Zhu Wu was talking, he felt that the topic between the two of them seemed to have gone astray.
Turning around, he looked at Wu Zhi with a puzzled expression.
"Brother, is there any connection between that battle and the hot air balloon you are going to study today?"
Wu Zhi glanced at Zhu Wu with a playful expression.
"Brother Zhu Wu, although you are very good at arranging troops and formations, you are also remarkable at making plans."
"But your divergent thinking is really bad."
"Actually, my best plan at the time was not the miniature catapult."
"It's a launching device that can shoot cannonballs in a parabolic arc."
"In the end, due to various technical reasons, Liu Laosan and the others had to make a simple miniature catapult to launch the cannonballs."
"To be honest, the launch trajectory at a straight angle was much worse than what I expected."
"If at that time, those artillery shells fired could hit Song Jiang's army accurately in a parabolic manner."
"Then I will have the confidence to annihilate Song Jiang's group and not let anyone be caught."
"The emergence of this kind of hot air balloon can greatly make up for the shortcomings of the mini catapult in terms of launch angle."
"Imagine, when our soldiers ride in this hot air balloon, they put the cannonballs filled with low-quality fragrant powder in the hanging basket."
"When the hot air balloon carries the soldiers and flies over the enemy's head, then throw the cannonballs down one by one."
"In this way, we can form a vertical precision strike against the enemy."
"When that happens, the enemy troops on the battlefield will be our living targets."
"We can attack them whenever we want."
"But because they are on the ground, they can't hit us at all."
"Even if they have archers, due to the upward attack, the accuracy will be greatly reduced when shooting at us."
"Even those archers with very high archery skills can accurately hit our hanging basket, then we can also strengthen the hanging basket."
"This is to protect the safety of our soldiers."
"If it doesn't work, we can also increase the flight altitude."
"It's just that this requires our R&D team to work harder."
"At that time, we only need to have a hundred of these hot air balloons, coupled with hundreds of well-trained hot air balloon soldiers."
"Then we can firmly control the air."
"No matter how brave the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom are, no matter how tough the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom are."
"But in front of our hot air balloon warriors, they can only be beaten passively."
When Zhu Wu heard Wu Zhi's description, he was extremely excited.
Because in the Song Dynasty, which valued culture over military affairs, every time Song soldiers encountered the Jin people and the Liao people, the final result of the battle with them was that they would be defeated in nine cases out of ten.
Over time, there was even a war-fearing atmosphere throughout the Song Dynasty.
When fighting, as long as they heard that their opponents were Jin or Liao people, the soldiers of the Song army would often have a very strong fear of war in their hearts.
Not only that, near the border between the two countries, there are often rumors of Jin people and Liao people killing Song people.
It seems that among the three, the Song people have always been sheep at the mercy of others.
