Although Li Lingrui was still at the rear and had not arrived, he had been sending his confidants to keep an eye on the battlefield.
When he discovered that Zhang Liang had sent people to clean up the bodies, he immediately ordered the team behind him to speed up.
Around 1:00 a.m. on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the second wave of party soldiers arrived at Brass Valley.
However, this time Li Lingrui did not launch another direct attack. Instead, he ordered a small number of soldiers to set up tents, and most of the other soldiers began to carry stones outside the attack range of the catapults.
Through previous battles, Li Lingrui had discovered that there were many catapults set up on the highlands on both sides of the Brass Valley, which could completely cover the entire ravine.
If these catapults are not dealt with, no matter how many people there are in the ravine, there will not be enough catapults to hit them.
Originally, he planned to use people to climb the mountain to attack the high ground, but the peaks on both sides were too steep and difficult to climb. The party suffered heavy casualties. The highest soldier only climbed two feet high before he was knocked down.
Li Lingrui thought over and over again and decided to use stones to build another mountain outside Brass Valley. In this way, the Shu army's highland advantage was no longer there, and Dangxiang's army could directly attack the highlands on both sides from the built stone mountain.
Brass ditch lacks everything except stones.
Although the Southern Expeditionary Army did not have large-scale machinery, more than 10,000 party soldiers arrived at this time, and they could move stones very quickly.
More than 10,000 people started working at the same time, and in less than an hour, a stone wall ten feet long, more than three feet wide, and two meters high was built in the north.
As more and more party members arrived, the height of the stone wall continued to increase, and the edge began to approach the direction of Brass Trench.
On the front line of the Shu army's position, Zhang Liang and others looked at the north with worried faces after receiving the news.
Even Jin Feng hurried over.
Everyone knew that once the Dangxiang people fortified the mountain and connected it with the peaks on both sides of the Zhuangzhuang Valley, they would completely lose their highland advantage and have to fight hand-to-hand with the Dangxiang people.
The number of Dangxiang people is several times that of theirs. Even if they use people to pile them up, they can still kill the Shu army.
Judging from the ruthlessness Li Lingrui is showing now, he will definitely make such a decision.
"Sir, send the hot air balloon out!" Zhang Liang turned to look at Jin Feng: "The party members are building the wall too fast. If we don't stop them, they will be able to build the wall on both sides in at most one day.
same height!"
"Can't the catapult hit it?" Jin Feng asked with a frown.
"It can't be hit. The position of the stone wall has exceeded the attack range of the northernmost catapult!"
Da Zhuang, who had been taking charge of the scene, replied.
Jin Feng frowned upon hearing this, and sighed after a while: "Then let the hot air balloon prepare, and when the falcon appears, try to make as much noise as possible, so that the falcon does not hear the falconer's voice again!"
This is also the temporary solution Jin Feng came up with after listening to the scouts' report.
The main reason why the last mission failed was that the falcon was called back by the falconer when it was about to approach the hot air balloon.
If they made a sound that drowned out the falconer's whistle, they might be able to blow up the falcon.
"Yes!" Monkey agreed and winked.
After a while, a hot air balloon slowly rose into the sky in the middle of Brass Valley.
The party members are in the north, but the wind is northwest at this time. If they want to fly to the north, they need to increase their altitude and find a new wind direction.
In order to prevent the hot air balloon from drifting too far south, the scouts tied a rope underneath.
The hot air balloon was so big that when it rose to a height of more than ten feet, both the King of Qin's army and the party members saw it.
Just a moment later, a small black spot appeared in the sky a few miles to the north.
"The falcon is coming!" Da Zhuang put down the telescope and shouted to the back: "Everyone is ready!"
When the falcon was still more than a hundred meters away from the hot air balloon, the gong and drum team of the Shu army all started beating gongs and drums with all their strength, and several fireworks were set off on the ground at the same time.
But the falcons were trained to make noise, so they just glanced down at the gongs and drums team below, and then continued flying towards the hot air balloon.
The escort on the hot air balloon found that the falcon had not escaped, so he immediately lit the fuse, and then the two parachuted at the same time.
On the Dangxiang position, the two falconers almost blew out their cheeks, but the falcons were still rushing towards the hot air balloon.
It's not that the falcons are disobedient, but the sound of gongs, drums and fireworks covers their whistles!
Watching the falcon getting closer and closer to the hot air balloon, the two falconers broke into a cold sweat.
But it was useless for them to worry, because the falcon had already flown over the hot air balloon and pointed its claws at the balloon.
The next second, the hot air balloon suddenly exploded!
The falcon was so close that it was blown to pieces and fell down like a piece of rag.
"Success!"
In the brass ditch, countless Shu soldiers raised their arms and cheered!
Ever since Hai Dongqing appeared, they had been fighting too hard. Now seeing an eagle being blown up with their own eyes was like a shot in the arm for the soldiers of Shu!
Jin Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he watched the two parachuting scouts land safely on the open space in the Brass Valley.
"Monkey, hurry up, put another hot air balloon up!"
Zhang Liang, who had always been calm and collected, was also inspired and turned to the monkey and said.
Not to mention the monkey, he danced and gestured towards the back.www.八一zw.????m
A few minutes later, the second hot air balloon took off again!
…
A few miles away, in the middle of the party team, Li Lingrui put down his binoculars with a solemn expression!
"Your Majesty, Jin Feng has released another hot air balloon. What should we do?"
The deputy general asked for instructions: "Are we still flying falcons?"
"What if we don't let go? Are we going to watch them blow us up with hot air balloons?"
Li Lingrui said angrily.
In fact, this is the reason why Zhang Liang asked Dashanguan to send a hot air balloon over as soon as possible.
Except for the falcon, the hot air balloon currently has no opponent, so as long as he releases the hot air balloon and the airship, the party members must accept the challenge, otherwise the hot air balloon can bomb the party position unscrupulously!
No matter how stupid the deputy general was, he could tell that Li Lingrui was angry, so he shrank his neck in fear and ran out quickly.
A moment later, another falcon flew out from an inconspicuous corner of the party's team.
When the falcons flew near Brass Valley, the gongs and drums team of the Shu army repeated their old tricks and started beating gongs and drums and setting off fireworks.
This falcon was a little timid and was startled by the fireworks, but it did not hear the falconer's call, so it could only rise a little higher to avoid the exploding fireworks, and started attacking from above the hot air balloon.
Then, the hot air balloon exploded!
This falcon was also killed!
Immediately afterwards, another hot air balloon flew out of the brass ditch
"It's endless, right?"
Li Lingrui was so distressed that he was bleeding, but just like Jin Feng had to stop him from building a wall, he had to send the falcon even if he knew it was Jin Feng's plan!
