Zhang Liang's strategy was to trade a hot air balloon for a falcon.
Li Lingrui had no choice but to send falcons to fight, otherwise the hot air balloon would fly over the party's army and bomb them.
Now the two sides are competing whether the Shu army has more hot air balloons or Li Lingrui has more falcons. There is no other option.
Li Lingrui didn't even have time to think about countermeasures.
As each hot air balloon took off and exploded, the party members' falcons were also killed one by one.
When the last hot air balloon was left, everyone's expressions became solemn.
Under everyone's gaze, the last hot air balloon took off.
But what disappointed Jin Feng and the others was that the hot air balloon had only risen to a height of more than ten feet when they saw an eagle flying out of the Dangxiang Camp.
A minute later, the hot air balloon exploded and the falcon was killed.
"Sir, Brother Liang, the hot air balloon is gone..." Da Zhuang reported.
"Why did the damn Dangxiang people prepare so many falcons?" Chen Fengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Did they bring all the Dangxiang falcons over?"
"Dangxiang has the habit of raising falcons for hunting, and they have too many falcons."
Zhang Liang looked at Jin Feng helplessly: "Sir, the only airship left now is the airship. Do you still want the airship to get on?"
"How many airships are there?" Jin Feng asked.
"There is one ship left near Wutou Mountain, and there are two more ships in the camp now," Zhang Liang replied.
Jin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Leave one for emergency use and let the remaining one go out. What if the Party members only have the last falcon left?"
"Yes!" Zhang Liang nodded and winked at the monkey.
Soon, an airship slowly took off from the middle of the Brass Trench.
In the middle of the party team, Li Lingrui put down the telescope in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.
There were not many falcons left in their fleet, and Li Lingrui's heart was clenching just now.
Fortunately, the Shu army is now launching airships, which means that the hot air balloons are gone.
The airship needs a steam engine to drive it. The weight of a steam engine alone is several times that of a hot air balloon. The Shu army will definitely not bring too many!
Sure enough, when the airship and the falcon died together, no more hot air balloons or airships took off from the Shu army.
The stone in Li Lingrui's heart finally fell to the ground, but he did not underestimate the enemy. Instead, he ordered his people to keep an eye on the sky 24 hours a day to prevent the Shu army from turning around.
"Send someone to send a message back as quickly as possible. Please ask your Majesty to immediately order more falcons and send them over as soon as possible!"
Li Lingrui explained: "In addition, send someone to inform Chen Anjie that Jin Feng will definitely send someone to send a hot air balloon from Shu, so that he must stop Jin Feng's people no matter what!
Also, tell Chen Anjie that he has few people now and I won’t force him to attack by force, but if his reinforcements haven’t arrived in ten days, don’t blame me for turning against him!”
"Yes!" The intelligence chief nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, the party soldiers who built the wall also received orders to start working again!
"Sir, what should we do now?" Chen Fengzhi asked with eyes wide open.
He really wanted to ask for orders to take the Iron Tiger Camp to drive away the party soldiers who were building the wall, but looking at the stone wall opposite, he gave up the idea.
At this time, the stone wall built by the party members was almost ten feet high. If he led people over now, it would be equivalent to attacking the city.
When the time comes, the party members don't have to come down, they can just stand on the stone wall and throw stones at them, killing them.
Although Chen Fengzhi was impulsive and belligerent, he was not really stupid and would not lead Tiehu Camp to die in vain.
Jin Feng looked north and frowned tightly.
With Jin Feng's knowledge and hands-on ability, if he is given enough time, it will be easy to deal with Ying Falcon.
But now he is trapped in Zhuangzhuanggou, and the army's supplies are really scarce. No matter how talented Jin Feng is, he is still a clever woman who can't make a meal without rice.
Moreover, Li Lingrui would not give him that much time to research new weapons.
After staring at the opposite side for several minutes, and then at his own position, Jin Feng pointed to the mountainside to the west of Brass Valley and said, "Hammer, have you seen that black stone?"
Tie Hammer raised the telescope and looked in the direction of Jin Feng's finger. About one and a half feet away from the ground, he saw a stone with black spots, which was very different in color from the surrounding stones.
"I saw it!" Iron Hammer put down the telescope.⑧①ZW.????m
"Can you blow up that stone and create two places for placing heavy crossbows?" Jin Feng asked.
Before Liu died in the East China Sea, Iron Hammer had been helping in Dujiangyan, and his main job was to blast mountains. He was very experienced in blasting.
Iron Hammer raised the telescope again, looked at the black stone for a moment, nodded and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Dazhuang, send someone to prepare the heavy crossbow. Once the hammer blows up the rock, you will install the heavy crossbow at that location!" Jin Feng looked at Da Zhuang again.
The heavy crossbow attacks from top to bottom, and one arrow can only kill one person at a time. The cost performance is too low, so the escort did not install heavy crossbows on the hills on both sides, but installed them all on catapults.
The catapult has a large killing range, but its attack range is far inferior to that of the heavy crossbow, and it cannot reach the stone wall at all.
"Sir, how many heavy crossbows do you need to install?" Da Zhuang asked.
"How many seats can it hold?" Jin Feng replied.
On the hill on the west side of Brass Valley, Iron Hammer lowered to the black stone with a rope tied around his waist and a detonator on his back.
After looking around the black stone for a while, I found a crack under the black stone and put the detonator in.
Then he took out a coil of fuse and waved towards it.
The escort above immediately pulled the rope and pulled him up.
Half a minute later, with a violent explosion, the black stone was blown into several pieces and rolled down the mountain.
Where the stone used to be, a platform of four to five square meters was left vacant.
After the rockfall calmed down, several escorts tied ropes and rappelled down from the mountain to the platform.
Although this platform is bumpy and bumpy, once it is padded with stones and wooden boards, there is no problem in erecting a heavy crossbow.
So the escort made a gesture to the top, and the escort immediately hoisted a few more boxes down.
The escort on the platform pried open the box and took out the heavy crossbow components one by one.
Assembling a heavy crossbow is a basic skill for escorts. The escorts are already very skilled. In less than ten minutes, the first heavy crossbow was assembled.
Without Jin Feng's orders, the escort directly loaded the arrows and fired the trigger towards the north.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew out with a roar and headed straight for the stone wall in the north.
On the stone wall, densely packed party soldiers were carrying stones, and arrows pierced directly into the crowd.
The height of the platform is only slightly higher than the height of the stone wall. The heavy crossbow is fired on the platform, which is almost equivalent to a flat shot.
With the power of the heavy crossbow, the party soldiers on the wall were plowed out a blank!
"good!"
A burst of applause immediately erupted from the Shu army's position.
