The technology of hot air ballooning is not too mysterious.Since Cao Anmin used it many times, all countries have basically mastered this magical technology.

But with the application, they also discovered several major shortcomings of this thing.

One is that the speed is too slow.

The key to attacking a city is speed.

Although hot air balloons can fly over cities, their flying speed is extremely slow in the absence of wind, and they are easily shot down by bows and arrows and trebuchets.

The second is that the cost is too expensive.

The material of the hot air balloon needs to be tight and airtight. Ordinary textiles cannot replace it at all. Only some special skins can satisfy it.

The two combined make this kind of thing not too commonly used.

When the hot air balloon rose to 50 meters, Lu Wenlong led the soldiers and finally rushed here.

It's a pity that he was still one step late. Facing the hot air balloons that were already flying high, the archers quickly attacked, but they couldn't hurt them at all.

"General, someone brought it."

At this moment, several soldiers walked over escorting Lu Su.

As a general in command of the army, Lu Su originally wanted to commit suicide.But unfortunately, when he was about to make a move, Lu Wenlong appeared in front of him.

"Lu Zijing, it seems that you have long intended to abandon the city!"

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Yu and the others who were already flying high, and said lightly: "The traitors are persecuting you, there is nothing you can do. If you don't stay and drive away, can you let the traitors slaughter you?"

A lieutenant next to Lu Wenlong punched Lu Su in the stomach.

Lu Su wailed and half knelt on the ground.

Lu Wenlong waved his hand to signal them to back down, and slowly came to Lu Su and said, "Traitor? In this world, what is loyalty and what is treachery? How can you alone judge the good and evil of loyalty and treachery. Now that the new king has succeeded, the war It was finally calmed down. But you and others rebelled here, and the cholera Jiangdong did not intentionally destroy the foundation of the Sun family. If you say that I am a traitor, I think you are the number one traitor in the world."

Lu Su was too lazy to waste words with Lu Wenlong here, looked at the sky and laughed loudly: "A traitor is a traitor, can you clear up the suspicion by just letting me talk nonsense? Let me tell you the truth, Zhou Gongjin will definitely vote for Jingchu when he goes. I won the soldiers of the King of Chu, and I decided to attack you and other rebels. Even if Jiangdong fell into the hands of Jingchu in the end, it would be better than being stolen by you and other rebels."

When Lu Wenlong heard this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Yu is small, so he is naturally not afraid.

But Liu Qi is different.

This king of Chu has a million armors and countless famous officials and generals. Even though he can't be compared with Qi Wang Cao Anmin, he is by no means an existence that Jiangdong can provoke today.

What's more troublesome is that Zhou Yu has a clear understanding of the geography of Jiangdong's states and counties during the few years he has ruled Jiangdong.

The hydrology of Jiangdong is complicated. If you attack all the way from land, even if you have thousands of troops, it will take a lot of time.

But if there is Zhou Yu, it is equivalent to finding the key to unlock all difficulties.All problems and troubles can be solved easily.

Anyone can leave, but Zhou Yu must leave, otherwise Jiangdong will suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenlong quickly got on his horse, galloped forward, and headed directly out of the city.

Bows and arrows really can't do anything to Zhou Yu's hot air balloon.But there is one artifact that does.

Above the hot air balloon, Zhou Yu and the others looked at Wan County behind them, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Wan County is like a huge prison.

Even though they relied on this cage before, they barely escaped Lu Wenlong's attack and pursuit.

But if you win it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime.

"Governor, how long do we have to fly before landing?" Zhou Taifa asked.

For the hot air balloon, plus the previous test, Zhou Yu only used it twice.In terms of using this special thing, he might not know more about it than Zhou Tai and the others.

"Let's see first! After we enter Jiangxia's territory, we will move forward on foot. Before that, we will stay on it obediently."

Just as he was speaking, a whistling sound came from behind him.

"Crack!" The hanging basket swayed violently, and looking intently, it turned out that huge boulders were flying over continuously.

Trebuchet, trebuchet!

Jiang Qin pointed to the trebuchets lined up on the ground below and shouted in horror.

Before he could yell out, the stones launched by the trebuchet hit the edge of the hot air balloon again.Zhou Tai, who was already leaning on the side, was almost thrown straight away.Fortunately, Tai Shici grabbed him, otherwise, this old partner who had fought with him for many years would have fallen straight away.

"Everyone be careful, grab the edge." Zhou Yu hurriedly commanded, and everyone hurriedly scratched around.

"Gongjin, quickly find a way to raise this thing up a little bit, this height is too dangerous."

"Pull the valve open, all open."

Tai Shici did as he did, the flames rose rapidly, and the hot air balloon that was already on the verge of collapse suddenly rose rapidly.

Unfortunately, the other hot air balloon did not have such good luck.

Several stones directly hit the upper end of the hot air balloon. How could the hot air balloon, which had not yet risen, be able to withstand such heavy damage, and suddenly fell down quickly. As for the people on the hot air balloon, it is conceivable And know.

Fortunately, their height finally exceeded the height of the trebuchet attack.

"I don't remember this thing burning for a long time!" Tai Shici suddenly thought of something.

The faces of the few people suddenly changed drastically, and all ten eyes were fixed on the opening that was blazing with flames.

Chapter 709

Outside the city of Beiping, the banners were out of the sky, and Xianbei joined forces for more than ten miles, full of murderous intent.The two clans clashed for several days, the Qi army stood firm at the city gate, and Murong Jun personally led the troops. Unfortunately, facing Li Ji, although Murong Jun had many troops, it was a pity that instead of gaining an inch of success in several attacks, he was repeatedly frustrated. In desperation, he could only Stick to the camp and wait for news from Murong Chui.

While Murong Chui in Ning County was still looking forward to the support of his brother's army, an unexpected guest came to the Xianbei Camp outside Beiping City.

Outside the Xianbei camp, a fast horse was galloping from afar.It was none other than Li Jing and Li Pharmacist who robbed the Xianbei messenger on the horseback.

"Stop here!"

A group of Xianbei patrol soldiers quickly stopped the approaching people.

Li Jing jumped off his horse, grabbed the battalion patrolling soldiers, and said eagerly: "I am the messenger of Youxian King, quickly, take me to see the Great Chanyu! Emergency situation!" Ling Qi heard that it was extremely urgent, and the soldiers did not dare to stop him, so they quickly led the messenger directly into the camp of the Chinese army.

After going through layers of inspections to ensure safety, Li Jing entered Murong Jun's tent with the letter in his hand.

Although Li Jing is a Han Chinese, he has lived in Jiuyuan for generations, has more contact with Qianghu, and is proficient in the languages ​​​​of all ethnic groups in the grassland.

Desperately wanting to stand out, relying on his outstanding skills, Li Jing dared to venture into the Xianbei camp and entered alone.
