Chapter 771 Flying over the Wulong Ridge (2)

Another morning came. When the sun was about to rise, Hao Laosan stood above Wulongling Pass and looked forward, judging when the Song army would launch a new round of offensive, with deep sorrow and nervousness on his face.

After several days of offense and defense, although the Wu army, which had an absolute advantage in geographical location, had almost won all the victory and suffered extremely small losses, the pressure on their soldiers was still extremely great. Every time a sharp arrow shot up, he felt his legs trembling, because this was a terrible experience he had never experienced before. After all, just a few months ago, he was just a soldier guarding the gate in Muzhou City, and had never seen such a formation.

But today's Song army camp looked much calmer than usual. The siege queues did not form at this time. It seemed that there was no intention to launch a new round of offensive immediately, which made Hao Laosan breathe a sigh of relief. But just when he was halfway through this breath, something that made him unbelievable, thinking that he had an illusion happened again from the Song camp ahead, and something slowly rose into the air.

"Then...what is that?" said a little uneasy. Hao Laosan unconsciously reached out and rubbed his eyes. But when he took his hands away, he found that the rising thing was already taller and the outline was clearer - it was not fireworks, but strange, huge spherical objects. Something seemed to be rising up below, and was still coming towards Guancheng little by little.

At this moment, not only Hao Laosan, but also the other guards and generals in the city, as well as the generals, saw this strange scene. Countless people opened their mouths wide, but they didn't know what to say for a moment. They all looked up at the ball objects and flew towards them. After a moment, they exclaimed: "Song Army, what magic was the Song Army using... Hurry up, go and report to General Fang..."

With these screams, someone had already stumbled downwards, and some people were stumbled down at the not-too-steep stairs because of their absent-mindedness. The screams suddenly sounded. The entire city was already in chaos.

For people of this era, the impact of things flying in the air is too strong, especially when this thing rises from the enemy barracks, which puts greater pressure on the soldiers. Seeing these huge balls floating in the wind and approaching, the soldiers were even more frightened, their legs trembled, and their hands holding weapons were unstable. Not to mention that they thought of shooting arrows at those things at this time, they could not kneel down because of fear, which proved that these Wu soldiers were bold enough.

"Demon...Demonic..." Hearing the news, he came out of his residence, and looked up and saw the large number of balls coming from the sky. Even Fang Bainian was panicked. But after looking carefully, especially when he found the faint figure standing in the huge bamboo basket under the ball, he suddenly shuddered in his heart and shouted loudly: "Show me an arrow! It's the Song army, they made the monsters want to cross our Wulong Ridge from the sky! Hurry up and shoot them down!"

The roar of the chief general still had some effect. At this moment, the crossbowmen plucked up the courage to shoot arrows at the ball that was constantly approaching in front of him. But the distance between the two sides was too far, and their arrow range was not enough, so there was no threat at all. In this way, the pressure on the Wu army was even greater. Many people had completely lost their judgment of common sense at this time, thinking that this was also the connection between the Song army using magic, so their arrows had lost their function, and they were so scared that they had hung their crossbows and dared not move again.

The sparse arrows fell down in the distance, leaving the huge bamboo baskets to stay in the huge bamboo baskets, and their legs were weak and their faces were pale. But until this time, they still couldn't believe that they had actually flew into the air, advancing from the air like a legendary god, and would cross the high Wulong Ridge and launch a surprise attack on the enemy from the rear.

Even though these people were all the elite troops in the Qingzhou army who followed Sun Tu the longest, and were strong men who came from the battles in the camp, they were still afraid of everyone at this height that had never been involved, and they didn't dare to look down at all. Both sides were also stuck on the edge of the bamboo basket. It seemed that only in this way could there be an extra layer of guarantee.

Even the two heroes Wu Song and Lu Da who were among them turned pale at this time, and the height of several hundred feet above the ground had a great impact on them. Until now, they still could not imagine how Sun Tu took out such a person who could rise to the air and flew forward with thousands of brothers and flew over the high Wulong Ridge...

In fact, the answer is very simple, because Sun Tu found a good thing from the system warehouse that was most conducive to their successful breakthrough of Wulong Ridge.

Just a few days ago, after Sun Tu almost unified Jiangnan and gained unanimous recognition from the military and civilians of Jiangnan, his system warehouse finally opened up a large area again, and on a whim, he gained a lot of gains when he entered it and walked around.

This time he found it in the new warehouse, which was a batch of high-quality hot air balloon accessories.

Originally, Sun Tu felt that this thing was not as real as gunpowder diesel or diving equipment, but after knowing that Wulongling was in danger, he suddenly realized that this was God's greatest help to him.

If you really want to force yourself to break the barrier, when facing the dangerous pass of Wulong Ridge, which is towering into the sky and has no shortcuts, the Song army can make only two major choices, either keep attacking and rely on human lives to fight for a bloody road; or you can climb up from the dangerous pass on the side and then cooperate with the army in front to attack, or you can break the barrier.

But both of them require absolute courage and luck, and the price they pay must be extremely high. But now it is different. With this batch of hot air balloons that can fly from high altitude, he can transfer his troops from above to the back and forth, and then attack from the front and back. This seemingly unbreakable dangerous pass will no longer stop him from advancing westward.

Therefore, when others thought he was still in Hangzhou and was raising the bandits to respect themselves, Sun Tu found craftsmen in the city and asked them to build more simpler vehicular tools based on the batch of hot air balloons. After all, hot air balloons still have one disadvantage, that is, the load capacity is not too large, and one is often only five or six people. The number of hot air balloons needed to put a group of elite soldiers behind Wulong Ridge is quite large.

But hot air balloons also have their own advantages, that is, the structure is much simpler than other flying objects in later generations. Even though they could not come up with the ignition device provided in the warehouse, Sun Tu still temporarily created a large number of hot air balloons with the ideas and clever means of the craftsmen of this era.

When the last batch of hot air balloons arrived with the food and grass, Sun Tu immediately used them, picked out the elites in the trap camp, and cooperated with more than a dozen generals who were good at martial arts, and took off and headed towards Wulong Ridge.

Originally, he planned to lead the team himself, but at least he was persuaded by the generals under his command. In the end, only Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Lu Da, Wu Song, Hua Rong... all the generals led the team together, and even Dong Ping did not go out. But even so, the Song army sent out the strongest elite team this time, and success or failure was also the same.

Hundreds of hot air balloons floated forward slowly like a large flock of birds and soon appeared above Wulongling Pass. But at this time the distance between the two sides became wider, so it would be difficult to hurt the Song army above the head if the arrows were fired below.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the Song army had gradually overcome the fear of heights at this time and began to counterattack. As they bent down and threw them out, the balls roared and fell down like hail in an arc posture, which scared Wu Jun below to dodge.

While these balls were still in the air, they had already burst out loud, splashing the iron nails and other objects filled inside with the broken shells, splashing towards the Wu army below. Suddenly, countless Wu army soldiers were shot by these tiny pieces, screaming and falling to the ground.

Although the lethality of the Breaking Bomb is not particularly large, the range of shooting damage formed by this volley explosion is still extremely terrifying. For the Wu army, the greater threat comes from the fact that this thing falls from the air, because in their eyes, the Song army that can control the air is itself a manifestation of the magic. Now they throw out this large piece of thunder in the palm of their hands, which instantly destroyed the Wu army's psychological defense line.

Even the generals such as Fang Bainian were already full of panic at this time. Many people could no longer care about ordering the entire army to deal with the possible attacks from behind the city of Guancheng, and everyone ran around like headless flies. At this moment, the entire Wulongling Pass was completely in chaos.

The fact that they have had is the belief in the theory of ghosts and gods, the endless pressure of air supremacy controlled by the enemy's palm, and the damage caused by the Breaking Bullet, these all aspects of the whole story finally made the Wu army show a one-sided decline before the battle began.

At this time, with Sun Tu's order, the sound of horns suddenly rose in the Song army formation, and all the troops had already pressed forward. Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy, they tried their best to launch the most fierce attack on this rare mountain pass in the south.

This time, Sun Tu, as the commander of the three armies, no longer stood in the central army as safely as before, but led the way and rushed to the front of the team. He held the steel knife in his hand tightly, his body undulating like a cheetah, and soon he rushed under the towering wall without any defense. With a wave of his left hand, the long rope was thrown high and climbed to the top of the city, and the people followed him up.

At the same time, he looked up again and saw that the hot air balloons had begun to sink after crossing the Oolong Ridge. It was not long before the battle from the rear would start!
