2034: Bombing Chang'an (Part 2)
In the sky, five of the ten airships did not have a bombing mission. At this moment, they were dragging the sun and moon flags to scatter over the huge Chang'an City. The other five were carrying out the ultimate mission of this trip under the leadership of Han Dang, bombing the Qi Palace.
Han Dang held up his glasses and carefully searched for the ground with a slightly nervous look through the glazed window of the airship. The height of the airship was constantly decreasing, and he had to ensure the safety of the entire formation.
The palace of Qi State is naturally a large building with a wide area on the ground, but from their height now, it is probably the size of a basin. It is difficult to accurately throw a bomb onto the palace at such a height. If you really want to throw it at this height, you may have to rely on luck to hit the opponent.
He traveled thousands of miles and came over thousands of mountains and rivers, not to come to meet the great fortune.
The height was constantly declining. At this moment, in the telescope, he could clearly see the layout around the palace. Teams of fully armed soldiers were running around the palace. In the palace, teams of soldiers also poured out from the dense houses.
In the outer city of the palace and above the two walls of the inner city, Han Dang finally found protruding towers and focused his eyes on those places. Sure enough, he saw a heavy crossbow on the ground raising his head and aiming towards the sky.
When he was in Manila, the army of the Tiger Dynasty had modified heavy crossbows to deal with airships in the sky. The effective killing can reach about 300 steps, which is about 300 meters. The Qi army had long known that the Ming Dynasty had airships, so they would not fail to find a way to restrain them. Once this thing was made, the palace would naturally be the first batch of equipment. Just like the dense cannons on the city walls that Han Dang saw in the air now.
If it were just a bomb, Han Dangda could drop bombs from this height, and then leave it to fate and count wherever it was blown. But this time the mission was extraordinary, and its political significance was much more important than that of military significance. It is completely impossible to say how severely this bomb could destroy Chang'an. Even if all the bombs were concentrated into the palace, it would be impossible to completely blow the palace up.
What Han Dang wanted to explode the most was the Zhengda Guangming Palace in the palace.
It is located in the middle of the intersection of the two axes of the east, west, south and north of the Qi Palace, and is also the place where the Qi Kingdom holds a formal court meeting. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Zhengda Guangming Hall represents the majesty of the emperor and the power.
Whoever enters the Zhengda Guangming Hall is the master of Qi.
"All airships are careful. I found the twelve heavy crossbow platforms. Now I will descend to the height to lure the other party to launch." After Han Dang asked the signal soldiers to convey the orders in flag language, the airship he was in began to descend rapidly.
At this time, his navigator had found the axis, and during the descent, the airship flew forward along the longitudinal axis.
On the city tower, the Crown Prince Cao Rui stared at the airship that was flying over in the distance in anger. Beside him, a row of five heavy crossbows were slowly adjusting the angle.
This Ming army airship was so unscrupulous and its goal was so obvious that they just wanted to bomb the Zhengda Guangming Hall. He looked back at the hall with brilliant golden walls and beautiful woods in the forest, but his eyes became a little strange in an instant.
He knew that his uncle, the emperor of Daqi, was now working in the Zhengda Guangming Hall. If the Ming army's airship passed, if the Ming army successfully bombed the Zhengda Guangming Hall, if the Ming army killed his uncle, then he himself
In this moment, he suddenly remembered that bloody night. The whole Chang'an City fell into extreme chaos. There were Mercedes-Benzers everywhere, shouting and fighting everywhere. Finally, all the scenes were frozen in his mind on the right instructions that his father had before his death.
"Three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps!" The roar of the general beside him made him fight a cold war with excitement, and he suddenly woke up.
His face was a little feverish. What were he thinking? The country was in danger. Shouldn’t it be a concerted effort to overcome the difficulties together? If Cao Yun really died, I am afraid that the current Qi State would soon face a situation of collapse. Those generals who control heavy troops at the border were not promoted by Cao Yun.
"Start!" His hand slashed down heavily.
Five heavy crossbows made a low whine sound and flew towards the airship in the air. At this time, the airship was only two hundred steps away from them.
After the heavy crossbow was shot out, the soldiers immediately prepared for the second filling. Although this heavy crossbow had certain air defense effects, the problem was that it was too bulky and needed to use a winch to put the crossbow on the side. In fact, for airships that flew as fast as birds, they only had one chance to launch. After they filled it for the second time, the enemy's airship would have long no idea where it flew.
Cao Rui stared at the direction where the heavy crossbow flew over, and his heart was full of expectations.
The airship made a deafening roar in an instant. At Cao Rui's position, he could clearly hear the sound. Then, he saw that the airship that was still flying horizontally was suddenly raised and jumped upwards, getting closer to them, but he gently avoided the five heavy crossbows that were shooting away.
The next moment, the airship flew over their heads with a huge roar and flew towards the Zhengda Guangming Hall.
Cao Rui let out a heavy breath, his expression seemed a little relaxed. He turned around and chased the airship and saw that there were still heavy crossbows firing into the sky along the way, but it was obvious that the heavy crossbows posed no great threat to the airship.
No matter what, he still tried his best! He looked at the other airships in the sky.
In the Grand Bright Hall, Cao Yun stood at the window, looking at the Ming army airship flying closer and closer. When he saw the heavy crossbow on the city tower shooting out, for some reason, he actually let out a long sigh.
The next moment, he saw a black thing falling out from under the airship's belly, as if flying towards him.
At this time, outside the house where he was, layers of iron armored warriors had surrounded the place heavily.
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. What's the use of this? The current war seems to have exceeded his understanding. Just like this attack, the moment before he saw these airships appear in front of him, he never expected that the Ming army could cross thousands of mountains and rivers and directly attack his palace.
The violent explosion came, and the entire Zhengda Guangming Hall seemed to be shaking.
"Your Majesty, please move the frame and avoid it!" An iron-armored general appeared at the door in a panic and shouted loudly, forgetting all the most basic etiquette.
Cao Yun sighed and did not blame the general. Not to mention this general, he was himself, and at this moment he was also indifferent to the six gods.
He walked out of the door and came to the yard. The layers of armored warriors quickly surrounded him and moved outside.
Surrounded by Cao Yun turned around and looked at Zhengda Guangming Hall. At this moment, the second and third bombs had fallen down again, and the explosion continued. The ground of the entire palace was slightly shaking, with flames, thick smoke, the constantly collapsed houses and buildings, and various fragments flying all over the sky. At this moment, Zhengda Guangming Hall seemed to be in hell.
The outer protection of the palace is quite tight, like a hedgehog, with spikes everywhere, but when you can break through the outermost defense, the inside is extremely soft. Weapons like heavy crossbows are naturally impossible to be placed in places like Zhengda Guangming Hall. If someone is ill-intentioned and operates heavy crossbows at some important time, and shoots them towards the emperor or other important personnel, they will not be able to save the gods.
So when Han Dang thrilledly broke through the defense of the periphery and entered the sky above the Zhengda Guangming Hall, this tall and eye-catching place was completely different from other palaces, like a young and beautiful girl who bumped into a rude and sperm-minded man, and was repeatedly ravaged by him without any resistance.
Unlike city walls or military fortresses that have been heavily reinforced by steel and concrete, the main structure of Zhengda Guangming Hall is still mainly made of wood. In the face of such bombing, there is no resistance, and it is really a large area if it is bombed.
When Cao Yun turned his head for the last time, he saw the plaque of Zhengda Guangming hanging high above the palace gate being swallowed and burned by the flames, and then fell into the smoke and dust.
He no longer looked back and bowed his head and moved quickly. At this moment, in his heart, there was only humiliation.
At this moment, Tian Fen was on the roof. He asked Jiang Tong to hold him and jump to the roof of the tallest attic of his house. Here, he could see the situation on the other side of the palace and see the airships drop bombs from time to time. The violent explosions kept coming from the palace, and the thick smoke came to cover the sky and the sun.
"Jiang Tong, Da Qi is going to be finished." Tian Fen whispered.
"The Chief Supervisor, such an attack will not suffer much loss. You are too worried." Jiang Tong whispered to comfort him.
"But he was hurting Da Qi's root!" Tian Fen's body twitched slightly, "From today, Da Qi will fall apart."
Jiang Tong was speechless, it was like two martial arts masters confronting each other, one kept squeezing the other's mouth, while the other was powerless. Even though the other party did not use a fatal blow, the humiliation imposed on the other party was 10,000 times more uncomfortable than death.
"Jiang Tong, you have been with me for almost twenty years. Looking back, you can leave. You have a good skill and can live a good life no matter where you go." Tian Fen's voice became softer and softer.
"Prime Minister, I, Jiang Tong, are homeless." Jiang Tong: "I will always be with you."
"Let's go, let's go, there's nothing worth your nostalgia in Chang'an." Tian Fen said the last sentence, his head sank slightly, and he disappeared.
Jiang Tong lowered his head and looked at the old man who had been with him for decades, tears fell down as big as beans.
