Hot air balloons have no maneuverability and rely solely on the wind to move.
It's winter recently, and the wind is basically northerly every day. If you want to drive against the wind, you have to climb to different heights to find the wind layer. Whether you can find a suitable wind layer depends entirely on luck.
The team of escorts obviously had bad luck. They had been trying constantly for the past few days, but could not find a suitable wind layer, so they could not cross the Jiulian Gorge.
"If you can't get across Jiulian Valley, then take another way!" Chen Fengzhi said, "It's not like there is only one way to get over Jiulian Valley!"
"Chen Liangfeng blocked Jiuliangou, do you think he will block other roads?"
The monkey glared at Chen Fengzhi.
"Yes, Chen Liangfeng was really anxious this time and almost transferred half of his troops."
Han Feng nodded and said: "All the roads to Xizhou have been heavily deployed. Almost all roads, big and small, have been blocked. Several of the brothers who delivered letters have been arrested in the past few days!"
For safety reasons, the bodyguards who deliver messages usually take small roads, but now even all kinds of small roads have been arranged by the King of Qin.
"Send someone to inform Zheng Fang. No matter what method he uses, I must send the hot air balloon and airship to me as soon as possible!"
Zhang Liang directly gave Han Feng a death order.
There was nothing he could do. The party members' stone wall was about to close in. If the hot air balloon was not delivered, it would be too late!
"Yes!" Han Feng and Monkey saluted at the same time and responded to the order.
Soon, the hidden stakes under Han Feng and the scouts under Monkey set off one after another to send a message to Zheng Fang as quickly as possible.
In fact, there was no need for Zhang Liang to give orders. After Zheng Fang learned about the situation in Jiulian Gou, he immediately sent people to carry the dismantled airship to Jiulian Gou.
With the current situation in Sichuan and Shu, the bodyguards have been scattered to various battlefields. Except for Zhuangzhuanggou and Yuguan City, it is difficult to find a battalion of bodyguards.
However, in order to ensure the safety of the transport team, Zheng Fang still gathered a battalion of escorts in Dashan Pass to protect the transport team.
This battalion not only protects the transport team, but also assumes the task of rebuilding the supply depot.
He thought that this would be foolproof, but in the end he underestimated King Qin's determination.
The King of Qin knew that this battle would affect his life and death, so he also gave death orders to his subordinates. For this reason, he also dealt with many dandy generals.
All the Qin generals knew that the King of Qin was serious this time and began to impose severe demands on his subordinates in various ways.
Under all kinds of high pressure, the veteran soldiers who used to run away after a fight actually gained some fighting power.
Relying on the advantages of numbers and terrain, they constantly harassed the transportation team.
Although the escort was able to defeat the enemy every time, there was no way he could go all out.
The most terrible thing is that Chen Anjie also told Li Lingrui the method of fire attack.
So Li Lingrui also started to smoke upwind.
The party members used only wet firewood, and when it was cooked, thick smoke billowed and drifted along the brass ditch to the Shu army camp.
Although due to the distance, the thick smoke had dispersed quite a bit after reaching the Shu army camp, it was still very choking.
Jin Feng wakes up every morning with a dark face.
Those Shu troops on the northern front were even more miserable. They were so smoked that they could not open their eyes and had to tie a cloth strip around their noses to breathe.
Under this situation, the stone wall of the party members also got closer and closer. Although Jin Feng kept ordering catapults and heavy crossbows to stop it, the stone wall finally came close to the hills on both sides of the Brass Valley!
The battle also broke out!
After waiting for so long, Li Lingrui finally got the opportunity to engage the Shu army in close combat, and he was furious as soon as he came up.
The densely packed party soldiers jumped from the stone wall to the hills on both sides of the brass ditch like dumplings!
Jin Feng also knew that this battle was inevitable and had made preparations early.
The bodyguards formed a classic spear phalanx and repelled the party's attacks time and time again.
But the party members seemed to be endless. After killing a group, another group was immediately replaced.
The corpses rolled down the hillside to the foot of the mountain and piled up into a mountain.
The stone walls on both sides of the hill were completely stained red with blood.
Although the bodyguard's armor is solid and the weapons are sharp, they can't stand against the large number of people on the other side.
And there's still thick smoke?
Many escorts can't even open their eyes, and their combat effectiveness is greatly affected.
On the first day of the battle, the Shu army suffered more than 1,300 casualties.
Jin Feng originally thought that this was because the war had just broken out and was relatively fierce, and that it might be better the next day. Who knew that the fighting on the second day was actually more intense than the first day.
Under Li Lingrui's coercion and inducement, countless party soldiers were like zombies, constantly attacking the Shu army's fortifications.
The soldiers of Shu also knew that there was no way out and could only resist desperately.
As both sides continue to send more manpower to the front line, the intensity of the battle is also constantly escalating.www.八一zw.????m
In just five days, the corpses on both sides of Brass Valley were piled as high as the hills, and the Shu army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, accounting for almost 20% of the total strength.
Among the current Shu army in Zhuangzhuanggou, recruits account for a large proportion. If the retreat had not been blocked by Chen Anjie, I am afraid that there would have been a rout!
On the sixth day of the battle, during the morning meeting, Chen Fengzhi proposed to attack Chen Anjie in the south first and break out from the south.
In the previous battles, Chen Fengzhi, a fighting maniac, had always led Tiehuying to the front.
After five days, Tiehu Camp suffered more than half of its casualties, but the party members seemed to be killing them endlessly!
Chen Fengzhi was so desperate that he had the idea of breaking out to the south.
After all, Chen Anjie in the south only has more than 10,000 people, and his combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of the Dangxiang people.
But before Jin Feng could speak, Zhang Liang directly rejected Chen Fengzhi's proposal.
"We have already suffered a lot of casualties. Many of the recruits know that there is no way to retreat, so they are fighting with all their strength. If we open an opening in the south, there may be an immediate rout!"
Zhang Liang said: "Besides, we have already said that this problem is as it is. Even if we leave Zhuangzhuanggou, Chen Liangfeng will send people to stop us on the road, and we will still be overtaken by the party members.
By then, we may not be able to find a place like Zhuangzhuanggou, and the situation will be even more difficult than now."
Chen Fengzhi also knew that what Zhang Liang said was reasonable, so he could only give up the idea.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Jin Feng didn't think of hitting Chen Anjie, but Chen Anjie made the first move.
After Chen Anjie arrived at Brass Valley, he had been trying not to provoke Jin Feng. However, on the morning of the seventh day when the battle broke out, Chen Anjie actually sent people to attack the Shu army's spinning line at the southern end of Brass Valley.
The combat effectiveness of the King of Qin's army has always been very weak, so Jin Feng and Zhang Liang did not take the King of Qin's army too seriously, and deployed fewer manpower in the south.
Who would have thought that this time, King Qin's army seemed to have been given a stimulant, and they attacked as wildly as the party members.
If they didn't have a stone wall, the defense line south of Brass Valley would have been broken up by the Qin army.
