Jin Feng expected that Chen Anjie would ask Li Lingrui for help.
Therefore, before the scouts set off, Monkey had already told them that once they saw the King of Qin's army, they would just go over and explode without saying anything.
Before Li Lingrui's falcons arrive, it would be best if they can blow up Chen Anjie. Even if they can't find Chen Anjie, they can blow up as many bombs as they want to frighten the King of Qin's army to the greatest extent!
Therefore, when they discovered the smoke of King Qin's army, the two scouts did not stop. The tall scout controlled the hot air balloon to fly to the south at the fastest speed, while the short scout held up his telescope to observe the vanguard of King Qin's army.
However, he only saw Chen Anjie's golden dragon flag at the front of the team, but could not confirm Chen Anjie's position.
What surprised him even more was that after discovering them, King Qin's army immediately ran towards the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road.
Throw a grenade down from a high altitude. The grenade will be easily blown away and will either fall on the top of the cliff or in the middle of the mountain road. It will be difficult to explode to the edge of the cliff.
This is also the method Chen Anjie came up with to deal with hot air balloons after suffering a loss.
"I didn't expect King Qin's army to become such a thieves!"
The tall scout cursed, but did not stop moving his hands, still controlling the hot air balloon to continue to float south.
The short scout was not idle either and opened all the ammunition boxes at his feet.
When the hot air balloon flew over the main force of King Qin's army, the grenades were thrown down as if they were free of charge.
The first one to suffer was Chen Anjie's Shuaiqi, which was blown to pieces.
The tall scout tried his best to control the flight direction of the hot air balloon while paying attention to the north.
Not only him, Chen Anjie, who was wearing a black cloak and hiding in the crowd, was also looking at the north.
Now he only prays that Li Lingrui can keep his promise and arrange for the falcon to come over and kill the hot air balloon as soon as possible after seeing the smoke.
As if God heard Chen Anjie's prayer, within a few minutes, he saw a small black dot appear in the sky!
It was only then that Chen Anjie finally relaxed.
On the hot air balloon, the tall scout also discovered this small black spot.
I picked up the telescope next to me and took a closer look. It was an eagle flying with its wings spread!
"Coming, coming, the falcon is coming!"
The tall scout kicked his companion who was throwing the grenade down.
"Damn it, why did you come here so fast?"
The short scout turned his head and took a look, threw down the last two boxes of grenades, then turned around, took the telescope, and pointed it at the falcon.
The speed of the falcon was so fast that just a moment ago it was a small black dot that could not be seen through a telescope. In just half a minute, it flew two miles away.
The short scout put down the telescope, first turned the water drain over, then picked up the fuse with his left hand and the fire breaker with his right hand, ready to light the fire at any time.
When the falcon was still about a mile away from the hot air balloon, the short scout lit the fuse without hesitation, and then he and the tall scout jumped out of the gondola with their parachutes on their backs.
The falcon is getting closer and closer, and the fuse is getting closer and closer to the explosive bag in the hot air balloon!
But when the falcon was still about a hundred meters away from the hot air balloon, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the valley below.
The falcon that was originally flying to the hot air balloon heard the whistle, immediately changed its direction and dived down.
Both of them felt their hearts skip a beat at the same time.
But they were already in mid-air and could do nothing. They could only watch the falcon flying further and further away.
After a few seconds, the hot air balloon exploded.
But at this time, the falcon had already flown hundreds of meters away, and not a hair was blown off!
At this time, the whistle below changed its tone again, and the falcon immediately flew towards the scout's parachute.
"It's over!"
Both scouts felt despair in their hearts.
Not only because of his own safety, but also because the mission failed!
The next second, their parachutes were scratched one after another, and they began to fall rapidly...
A few miles away at the bottom of the mountain, two scouts hid among the rocks. They saw the entire battle through binoculars and watched helplessly as their two comrades fell from a high altitude and were shattered into pieces.
But they had no time to grieve, so they rushed north as soon as possible and reported back to Jin Feng.
Since the hot air balloon took off, Jin Feng has been standing in the open space in front of the control room.
When the falcon passed by the Brass Valley, Jin Feng also saw it and even organized a musketry team to fire many shots in the air.
Unfortunately, the range of the musket was too short, and the falcon flew too high, so it couldn't hit it.
By the time he got the scout's report, it was already dark.
After learning that two scouts and a hot air balloon were lost, but not even a hair on the falcon was blown up, the command room suddenly became quiet.
After a few minutes, Jin Feng sighed and looked at the monkey: "Arrange someone to see if the brother's body can be recovered and the bombing plan should be temporarily stopped."
If a hot air balloon and two scouts could kill a falcon, Jin Feng could accept it even if he blamed himself.
But the enemy is obviously on guard now. If he sends a hot air balloon over, it will be a pointless death!
In the next two days, Jin Feng no longer dispatched hot-air balloons, but continued to build fortifications on the northern and southern sections of Brass Valley, preparing for a war.
The King of Qin's army and the Southern Expeditionary Army are also constantly approaching.
Even if Jin Feng did not continue to send out hot air balloons, Li Lingrui and Chen Anjie did not dare to be careless. During the march, they deliberately dispersed the soldiers to prevent excessive density of personnel.
In particular, the Southern Expeditionary Army numbered hundreds of thousands. The forward team had arrived less than five miles away from Brass Valley, while the rear team was still in the previous camp.
Even the more than 10,000 people in King Qin's army stretched the team for more than ten miles.
In this way, even if the airship bombs, it will be difficult to cause large-scale casualties.
On the afternoon of the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the King of Qin's army and the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived at Brass Valley at almost the same time, blocking the Shu army in Brass Valley from the south to the north.
God seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere, and small snowflakes started to fall in the evening.www.八一zw.????m
"Sir, they are all at the door. Do you want to fight?"
Chen Fengzhi broke into the command room and asked while patting the snow.
At this time, the King of Qin's army and the Southern Expeditionary Army were not yet firmly established, and their ranks were too long. If the Shu army fought out, it would be very likely to win.
"Why fight?" Qing Mulan rolled her eyes at Chen Fengzhi: "We have a favorable terrain, why should we go down and fight them? How many of them are there compared to us? Even if one of our lives is exchanged for ten of their lives, it is not worthwhile."
"We have too few people," Zhang Liang also said: "If we go down at this time, we will definitely be bitten to death by them, and then the enemies behind will swarm us. It is better to stick to the defense line and wait for them to come over and then fight!"
