Chapter 514: Public Opinion
The bombardment of the four major gates of River Valley City lasted only a quarter of an hour before stopping.
In the battle of Hegu Pass, the Musket Battalion lost more than 7,000 people. There were 3,000 musketeers and 400 mobile cannons at each of the four gates of Hegu City. There were exactly 100 cannons at each gate. On average, there were 40,000 soldiers at each gate out of the 160,000-strong army.
Next, Lin Feng did not plan to attack the city, so 40,000 troops were enough for each city gate.
As soon as the cannon fire stopped, Lu Dongyuan quickly came to Lin Feng and said, "Your Highness, I just received news from the city that Murong Zhengming and his Tiger Guards had just walked to the South Gate and were about to leave the city when our cannons fired, so Murong Zhengming returned to the palace."
It was a close call, Murong Zhengming almost escaped.
Lin Feng nodded. "Commander Lu played an indispensable role in our army's successful encirclement of River Valley City. After the war, I will commend you for your achievements in front of His Majesty."
Lu Dongyuan cupped his hands again, "Thank you, Your Highness! In order to delay the Tiger Guards from leaving the city, the captain of the Mirror and Jian Division, Fan Cheng, detonated a bomb on Tianhe Street, and was immediately besieged by a large group of Fengyu Guards. Fan Cheng and his 32 Mirror and Jian Guards all died heroically."
Lin Feng nodded with a look of satisfaction, "Good job! All of you are great! Liu Zhangjian!"
Liu Song quickly stepped forward and bowed, "I'm here!"
"You must immediately send a pigeon to inform His Majesty of the battle situation in Hegu City. Also, report Fan Cheng's heroic deeds back to the Mirror and Mirror Division headquarters and have Fengyang Daily publicize it."
"Old slave, you obey!"
Time passed little by little, the sun slowly rose from the east, and a new day began. According to the plan, Lin Feng would launch a public opinion offensive against River Valley City.
Outside the northern wall of Hegu City, a hundred hot air balloons were already suspended in the air. Seeing Lin Feng coming, Gong Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Reporting to the general, everything is ready, and the hot air balloons can take off at any time."
Lin Feng nodded, "Immediately light the fuse and take off."
"Yes, General!"
At Lin Feng's command, one hundred hot air balloons began to slowly rise into the sky, drifting towards the River Valley City along the north wind.
The hot air balloon that took off this time had an empty basket, which was filled with leaflets. That's right, Lin Feng was going to distribute leaflets to the people and army of Hegu City and the Yue Emperor Murong Zhengming.
The leaflets had been printed as early as when they were in Fengyang City. Lin Feng wanted to rely on the power of public opinion to force Murong Zhengming to surrender, thus achieving the peaceful unification of South Vietnam.
The hot air balloon outside the north gate took off, and naturally the Tiger Guards guarding the north gate could not be hidden. General Zhao Bing immediately said, "Pass my order, order the Flying Army to take off and intercept immediately. We must not let the Yan Army's hot air balloon fly over the palace."
"Yes, General!"
Soon, the hot air balloons of the Yue Kingdom's Flying Army began to take off urgently. As the hot air balloon of the Yan Army was about to fly over the north gate, Dezhou General Liu Qian suddenly discovered something and immediately said, "General Zhao, there seems to be no one in the basket of the Yan Army's hot air balloon."
Zhao Bing looked up and found that there was indeed no one in the basket of Yan Jun's hot air balloon. "What's going on? What is Yan Jun doing? There is no one in the hot air balloon. Could it be that the bomb can ignite automatically? And then fly out of the basket automatically?"
Originally, Zhao Bing would never have such an outrageous idea, but after witnessing the horrific damage caused by artillery with his own eyes last night, he was a little unsure.
After Zhao Bing thought for a while, he immediately said, "Pass my order to the Flying Army to stop taking off and wait and see what happens."
"Yes, General!"
The messenger behind him hurriedly bowed, then turned around and walked away quickly...
Soon, the hot air balloons of Yan and Yue met in the sky above Hegu City. Although the soldiers of the Flying Army found that there was no one in the basket of Yan Jun’s hot air balloon, they still shot sharp arrows at Yan Jun’s hot air balloon.
The balloon's balloon was riddled with small holes shot by sharp arrows, and then the balloon began to slowly descend.
"Clap clap clap..."
Suddenly, there was an explosion on Yan Jun's hot hanging basket, and then the bottom of the basket opened wide. Countless leaflets fell from the sky, and the leaflets drifting in the wind covered the entire River Valley City.
Hegu City was under full martial law. Although the common people could not go out on the streets, they could still walk freely in the neighborhood. The appearance of the hot air balloon meant that the bombing of Yan’s army was about to begin. The common people were very scared and hid in the safe places prepared in their homes.
Time passed little by little, but there was no explosion. So the brave people began to go out of their homes to check the situation. When they walked out of the house, they saw a lot of papers in their yard out of thin air.
In the eyes of ordinary people, paper was a valuable thing, so they bent down and picked it up. They found that it was everywhere on the roofs and on the sidewalks outside their homes. The people in the Valley City suddenly became lively.
Xingyefang.
"Old Wang, do you know where all this paper comes from?"
Lao Wang shook his head. "How would I know? I can't read, so who knows what's written on it?"
"Before, many hot air balloons suddenly appeared in the sky. I thought Yan Jun was going to bomb us, so I hid. When they appeared again, there were these papers. Could these papers be dropped by Yan Jun from the hot air balloons in the sky?"
Lao Wang nodded, "That's very possible. Lao Zhang, why don't we take these papers to ask Master Li what's written on them?"
Lao Zhang nodded, "Okay, let's go now."
Soon, Lao Wang and Lao Zhang came to the yard where Li Yu lived with flyers, only to see a large group of people gathered outside the door of Li's house. It was obvious that these people also wanted to know what was written on the paper.
The Lee family's living room.
Li Yu sat quietly on the chair. As a teacher at the Confucian Academy, he certainly knew what was written on the flyers. That was why he didn't dare to go out and face his neighbors.
At this moment, Madam Li came in from outside and said, "Master, the neighbors are here. If you don't go out, what if they break in?"
"This……"
"Master, stop talking nonsense. Just tell them what's on the paper."
Li Yu's face changed, "Women's opinion, this paper was dropped from the sky by Yan Jun. If I tell the villagers what's on the paper, what if the court investigates it?"
"Master, the Yan army has surrounded Hegu City now. The imperial court is struggling to protect itself, so why would they care about your little trouble? Besides, can't we just ask the neighbors not to tell anyone? And it's not a good idea to have so many people blocking the door!"
Li Yu thought about it carefully, then nodded, "Old lady, then go open the door and let the neighbors in!"
Soon, the Li family's courtyard was crowded with neighbors, and then Li Yu walked out of the living room and came in front of everyone...
