Chapter 113 The Magical Use of Hot Air Balloons
"That's natural!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

"The principle of this thing is very simple, but it is very powerful. Father, if you look back, are you interested in sitting on this thing and going up to the sky to overlook the country of our Great Qin?"

"Oh? It sounds good. I'll give it a try later. Of course, the premise is that this thing is properly researched and won't be as dangerous as it is today!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then sighed.

Ying Changsheng nodded, and then, Wang Jian, who was on the side, looked at the hot air balloon, and looked at the sky from time to time.

He murmured thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, I think this hot air balloon is of great use!"

"This thing is nothing more than enabling people to go to heaven, that is, for people to have fun. What's the big use?"

Mao Jiao at the side has recovered his composure at this moment, without the embarrassment he felt when he saw the hot air balloon for the first time. He is standing where he is, pointing at the hot air balloon, pointing at Jiangshan, as if he really understands it.

Wang Jian glanced at Mao Jiao with disdain, and then he explained to Ying Zheng who was beside him.

"Your Majesty, do you know that usually the most difficult problem is when attacking a city?"

"Of course they crossed the city wall!"

Win politics without hesitation.

When attacking the city, facing the towering city wall.

For the siege party, it is simply a nightmare.

Through the ages.

No matter how good a good general is, when faced with a strong city, the method he usually adopts is not to attack by force.

Because, a strong attack will cause huge casualties.

Just like Wang Jian, when he attacked Wei State.

Facing the capital of Wei State, Daliang, which is Kaifeng in later generations.

Wang Jian did not rush and sent a large army to attack the city.

Because, Wang Jian understood a truth in his heart.

If you attack a city.

There are bound to be heavy casualties.

Therefore, Wang Jian adopted a long attack method.

That is, siege the city.

Wang Jian found a water conservancy expert from the Great Qin Empire, the former Korean Zheng Guo, and then he built a canal to divert the water from the Yellow River next to the city of Daliang, and use the water to soak the city of Daliang.

In the end, the water flooded Jinshan in Daliang City, and the city wall collapsed due to blisters.

This led to the king of Wei Guo actively leading his civil and military officials out of the city to surrender.

For a famous ancient general like Wang Jian.

Siege is so difficult.

It is conceivable how great the obstacle this city wall is to the army is.

At this moment, I only heard Wang Jian pointing to the hot air balloon on the ground, and then asked Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, if one of these hot air balloons carries three or five soldiers, and then hundreds or even thousands of hot air balloons are used, wouldn't it be possible to transport hundreds of elite soldiers directly across the city wall to the city at one time? Inside the enemy’s city?”

"This……"

When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed, this is simply a brilliant idea.

With hot air balloons, so to speak.

That's it, let the elite soldiers of Daqin descend from the sky to deal with the enemies of Daqin.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's face was filled with excitement, and he nodded to Wang Jian in satisfaction.

"If what Aiqing said is true, I deeply agree. It seems that after the Great Qin Dynasty, I will make more and more hot air balloons. In the past, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, people always talked about the country of a thousand vehicles, the country of ten thousand vehicles. Now , probably in my opinion, in the future it will be a country of a thousand balls, a country of ten thousand balls..."

"Hahahaha!"

Ying Zheng's joke made everyone present couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At this moment, Ying Changsheng on the side opened his mouth again and said with a smile.

"Father, this hot air balloon has another magical effect!"

"No, there are many more wonderful uses. I can't finish them all at once!"

"Oh? You kid, tell me!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested, and asked Ying Changsheng.

And Ying Changsheng also explained.

"This hot air balloon, after being lifted into the air, is tens of feet high, or even hundreds of feet high. At such a high altitude, as the saying goes, climbing high and looking far away, right? gone?"

"what?"

When Ying Zheng thought about it, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

At this time, Gong Shuli, who had already changed into clean clothes from a distance, came over and he immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, what Young Master Nineteen said is very true. I was on the hot air balloon just now. Although I was terrified, I could clearly see the surrounding scenery within tens of miles!"

"If so, if this hot air balloon is used on the battlefield, we only need to lift one into the air and send another soldier with excellent eyesight to observe the surroundings at a long distance..."

"There is some truth to this!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

It just feels right.

But Ying Changsheng continued.

"In addition, you can also send hot air balloons to act as scouts in the sky. You must know that scouts on the ground are easily spotted by the enemy and then killed. However, with hot air balloon scouts, no matter how dissatisfied the enemy is, they will What else can I do?"

"They can't wave their fists to the sky, right?"

These words instantly made Ying Zheng and Wang Jian laugh out loud.

Indeed, facing enemies from the sky.

Even if he is an excellent general, what can he do?
As Ying Changsheng said.

Could it be possible for them to wave their fists and threaten the sky?
For a while, everyone couldn't help laughing.

But Ying Changsheng continued to speak while striking while the iron was hot.

"More than that, this hot air balloon has another use!"

"tell me the story!"

Ying Zheng asked quickly.

In his opinion now, this hot air balloon is already a weapon of the country.

But Ying Changsheng said with a smile.

"Father, do you still remember the black powder?"

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, Wang Jian's face changed slightly, and then he reacted.

He slapped his thigh fiercely.

"That's right, if we let this hot air balloon carry some bombs, wouldn't it be possible to drop bombs in the air, within the range that the enemy can't attack, and then kill the enemy?"

"hiss……"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp.

If so.

Then fighting is much easier.

Even, there is no need for infantry to go out at all.

As long as this hot air balloon is needed, it can kill an army alive.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"You boy, if you were born 20 years earlier, then I, Great Qin, would not have to use it to unify the world. It would take so much effort!"

"Yes, the Nineteenth Young Master is blessed with talents, but it's a pity that he was born a little late..."

On the side, Wang Jian also expressed regret.

Today, these weapons are really awesome.

However, most likely, it is also useless.
