Chapter 1042 Capture the mountain! Enter the city!
Most of the escorts in the Iron Armor Battalion are retired veterans of the Iron Forest Army and have served in Qingshui Valley. They know where to blockade without Tieniu laying out specific strategies.
As the eagle fired its arrows, the two airships immediately adjusted their directions and blocked the way down the mountain.
In fact, there is a path in the back mountain that can also be used to go down the mountain, but the Jinman coalition forces had only taken over Qingshui Valley a few days ago and did not know this path at all.
In fact, it was useless even if they knew it. The path was narrow and steep, and they couldn't walk fast at all.
If the Jin-Barbarian coalition goes down the mountain from that side, Tieniu can just let the airship throw a few grenades on top, and the falling rocks will kill a large number of them.
The maneuverability of the airship was much faster than that of a hot air balloon. The Jin-Man coalition had only reached halfway up the mountain when the airship had already flown over the mountain road and began to descend.
When the Jin-Barbarian coalition saw the airship coming, they actually set up their heavy crossbows on the mountainside and pointed them at the sky.
"Fly over and blow up the heavy crossbow catapult on the mountain for me!"
Eagle ordered with a cold face.
The airship has a strong transportation capacity and is also very energy-saving. As long as the light gas poured into the air bag is not lost, it can continue to provide buoyancy. The engine does not need to provide additional energy to maintain lift. It only needs to drive the hot air balloon to move forward, backward, left, and right.
In terms of energy saving alone, airships are more energy efficient than traditional airplanes and helicopters.
In Jin Feng's previous history, airships were once very popular, but in the end they were not widely used.
In addition to the disadvantage of slow speed, the main reason is that it is too fragile.
The outer shell of the airship is just two layers of fireproof cloth. Once it is hit by a heavy crossbow, it will never be able to withstand it.
So when fighter jets appeared, airships were quickly replaced.
There is no way, the airship is too fragile. An airship costing several million can be killed with just one bullet. The price/performance ratio is really low.
Fortunately, Dakang doesn't have planes yet, let alone bullets.
The heavy crossbow made by Jin Feng is already Dakang's most sophisticated long-range attack weapon.
It is currently the only weapon that can threaten airships.
Qingshui Valley used to be the position of the Tielin Army, and Jin Feng once assisted a group of heavy crossbows and catapults.
When Qinghuai led the Tielin Army to retreat, he did not take away all the heavy crossbows, but left most of them behind.
Now these heavy crossbows have fallen into the hands of the Jin-Barbarian coalition.
However, Eagle was wary of this before he came. He discovered it just as the enemy touched the heavy crossbow.
The two descending airships temporarily stopped their descent, and the eagle commanded the airship he was riding on to change its flight direction.
Flying over the enemy's heavy crossbow position, Tieniu did not let the bodyguard throw grenades, but directly threw two explosive packets down.
The more explosives are gathered together, the more powerful they are.
A grenade uses three ounces of explosives, and the explosive package dropped by Tieniu weighed more than six kilograms of explosives.
In terms of the quantity of explosives alone, one explosive pack is equivalent to about twenty grenades.
But in fact, the power of an explosive pack is much more destructive than the destructive power of twenty grenades exploding individually!
The two explosive packets dropped by Tieniu directly razed the enemy's heavy crossbow position to the ground!
After blowing up the heavy crossbow position, Tieniu let Eagle control the airship to fly to the next target.
The airship that had previously paused its landing restarted its landing after the threat of the heavy crossbow was removed.
The escorts were very fast, and before Tieniu could fly to the next target, the mountain road was already blocked.
The Jin-Barbarian coalition was completely blocked on the mountain.
The main force of the bodyguards then arrived and began to attack the mountain.
A team leader responsible for attacking the mountain was full of emotion at this time.
He only retired from the Tielin Army last year and had followed Jin Feng to defend against the party members here.
The scene that happened at this time also happened at that time.
The difference is that at that time they were the party defending the mountain, but now they are the party attacking the mountain.
But what remains unchanged is that, no matter then or now, they are the party with an absolute advantage.
And this time the advantage is even greater than last time!
Last time they only had catapults and heavy crossbows, so they could only take advantage of the terrain to hold on. After the enemy retreated, they did not dare to pursue them.
Now that they have an airship, the position in front has been bombed by grenades before they even reach the ground.
In less than half an hour, the Iron Armor Battalion completely occupied Qingshui Valley.
There are more than a thousand Jin and Barbarian coalition forces, and there are probably more than 700 people alive at this time.
"First Company Commander, I'll leave this to you!"
Tieniu left one company to guard the prisoners of war, and the rest continued to set off.
Walking along the mountain road to Weizhou City, the anger in the hearts of the bodyguards became more and more intense.
They have left Qingshui Valley for more than ten miles, but there are still wooden piles and corpses on both sides of the mountain road.
At this time, the escorts already understood that the wooden stakes might extend all the way to the outside of Weizhou City.
Tielin Army and General Fan were regarded as brother troops at the beginning. At this time, some bodyguards even saw acquaintances on the wooden posts.
When passing by Jishui Lake, the enemies guarding the bridge had been scared away. Before leaving, they destroyed the bridge.
But this stagnant lake was created by Jin Feng, so how could it be possible for Tieniu and the others to survive such a thing?
Send a team of people over to open the flood outlet, and the accumulated water will automatically drain into the river below.
"Eagle, judging from this drainage rate, I'm afraid it will take most of a day to drain the water!"
Tieniu said: "How about you take people to seal the gates of Weizhou City first? Don't let them escape!"
"Can!"
Eagle nodded, left an airship on guard, and took the remaining airships straight to Weizhou City.
Tieniu's worry was not unreasonable. When they arrived outside Weizhou City, the Jin-Barbarian coalition forces were fleeing from the East Gate and South City Gate. Without saying anything, Eagle directly used an airship to blow up the heavy crossbow catapult on the Weizhou City Wall, and then sent
People set up heavy crossbows outside the city gate, killing every enemy that came out.
The Jin-Barbarian coalition did not expect that Yingying and the others would come over so quickly. At this time, they had retreated less than 10%, and the remaining 90% did not have time to evacuate and were imprisoned in Weizhou City.
In the evening, Tieniu led the main force of the Tiejia Battalion across Jishui Lake and rushed to the foot of Weizhou City.
When he saw the dense wooden piles erected in the open space outside Weizhou City, Tieniu could no longer control the anger in his heart and directly ordered the bombing of the Shanxi-Barbarian coalition camp!
In order to ensure the success of this operation, Tieniu carried a large amount of explosives.
The bombing continued for nearly an hour, and the bombing ended only after no more standing walls could be seen in the camp of the Jin-Barbarian coalition and no one could still stand.
Because there were still ordinary people in the city, after bombing the camp of the Jin-Barbarian coalition, Tieniu did not order to bomb other places. Instead, he had people blow open the west city gate and led the soldiers of the Iron Armor Battalion to rush into Weizhou City.
"They finally entered the city, brothers, our chance for revenge is here!"
A leader of the Eastern Barbarians hiding in a private house glanced outside through the crack in the door and shouted coldly: "They have been in the sky just now. We can't do anything to them. Once they enter the city, we will immediately surround them and let them go."
