Wei Laosan only knows how to make fireproof cloth, but he doesn't know how to make a stove, let alone aerodynamics.
To put it bluntly, he only learned half a bottle of water from Jin Feng, and the hot air balloon he made could barely fly, but his original shape was revealed when he encountered Jin Feng's carefully designed airship.
Although the airship is not big, it is definitely in a crushing position.
For every grenade thrown, a hot air balloon was blown up.
Falling from a height of hundreds of meters, even if it lands on the river, there is only one way to die.
There were also hot air balloons trying to escape, but the speed they were floating in the wind was too slow, and the airship easily chased them.
Qing Mulan and Amei looked at the falling enemy hot air balloons, their eyes red with excitement.
If they had an airship in Xichuan back then, how could they be attacked by the enemy?
"Sir, after recapturing Xichuan, can you deploy an airship in Xichuan?"
Qing Mulan turned to look at Jin Feng: "Sir, if you are worried, I can persuade my brother to let the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau station troops in the city. My Qing family will be responsible for all normal expenses. The Escort Agency only needs to go to the city when the enemy attacks.
Just lend a helping hand!"
Xichuan City is the territory of the Qing family. Although the escort agency had a station there before, the number of people was very small, and heavy weapons such as heavy crossbow catapults were not brought into the city.
As for the hot air balloons, there were originally escort stations outside the city, but when news of Jin Feng's attack came, Guan Xiaorou classified the hot air balloons as strategic weapons and took back all the hot air balloons outside.
At that time, the Qing family was relieved about this.
Because hot air balloons can fly over the city wall and enter the city at any time, this makes Qing's family feel very insecure.
But after this attack on the city, Qing Mulan suddenly thought about it.
If Jin Feng wants to harm the Qing family, it will be in vain no matter how careful they are.
So Qing Mulan took the initiative to ask Jin Feng to let the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau station troops in the city and equip them with airships.
"Let's drive Gada away first!"
Jin Feng did not agree to Qing Mulan.
This chaos among the kings made Jin Feng think a lot, and he also had the outline of a plan in his mind.
But he is not a politician and wants to go back and discuss with the Ninth Princess before making a decision.
Several people chatted while the battle in the sky continued.
The airship completely suppressed the enemy and fought. In less than twenty minutes, the last enemy hot air balloon was killed by the airship.
The airship did not land, but flew to Jinchuan Pier to inquire about the enemy's situation.
Although Jin Feng was anxious, he did not order the ship to approach the dock at this time. Instead, he ordered the ship to continue sailing upstream, and then waited for the airship to return from reconnaissance of the enemy.
The airship did not keep Jin Feng waiting for too long, and flew back again, landing slowly on the deck.
"Sir, the dock has been occupied by the enemy, and the Twin Humps have also been surrounded, and I saw that they are equipped with heavy crossbows."
Black Falcon ran over to report.
"Then send out half of the hot air balloons and blow up all the places around the dock where heavy crossbows can be deployed!"
Jin Feng said coldly.
"yes!"
The escorts who had already gathered on the deck agreed in unison.
Qing Mulan was still wondering why Jin Feng wanted the big ship to go upstream, but now she understood.
The wind is northeasterly today, and the hot air balloon takes off upstream and will just fly to the pier.
The flight team had already been prepared. Following Jin Feng's order, the hot air balloons took off one after another and flew towards the pier.
The wharf and Double Hump are one of the liveliest places in eastern Jinchuan. After Mr. Feng called, many nearby people fled into the mountains along the Jialing River.
Seeing the hot air balloon, many people pointed at the sky and cursed.
But after cursing and cursing, some people realized something was wrong.
"Stop scolding, it looks like a hot air balloon from Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
"Oh, it's true!"
"Didn't I say that Zhenyuan Escort Agency doesn't have hot air balloons?"
"Before I went into the mountain, I heard that Mr. Jin was coming back from the East China Sea. He must have brought it back!"
"Didn't I hear that your husband was killed in the East China Sea?"
"Those are all rumors. Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has refuted them long ago!"
"The hot air balloon warehouse in Xihewan was blown up by traitors, so the gangsters dared to attack the pier and Shuang Hump. Unless Mr. Jin came back, how could the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau get so many hot air balloons?"
"It makes sense. If there was, they would have taken it out and used it long ago!"
"Mr. Jin is coming back? It's great!"
"Mr. Jin is finally back. This time he has beaten away the gangsters. We must write a joint letter begging him not to leave Jinchuan again!"
"Yes, sir, he is our rock in Jinchuan!"
…
Looking at the hot air balloons in the sky, many people were moved to tears.
With the influence of the pier and the Double Hump, their lives were getting better and better, but only a few days after the good times, Mr. Feng brought someone to call.
The entire Jinchuan was immediately thrown into chaos.
At this time, many people understood the importance of Jin Feng.
Jin Feng doesn't have to do anything. As long as he is in Jinchuan, no one will dare to come to Jinchuan to cause trouble.
The people watched the hot air balloon fly away. A moment later, dense explosions were heard from the direction of the pier.
The bodyguards were very familiar with the terrain around the pier, so they would throw grenades wherever they could place heavy catapults.
The steam engine has stopped working, and the ship slowly approaches the dock along the current.
After the bombing, Hammer sent two platoons of escorts ashore in lifeboats, thoroughly cleaned up the area near the pier, and only allowed the ship to dock after confirming that all surrounding enemies had been killed.
"Finally home!"
Jin Feng stepped onto the dock surrounded by bodyguards, feeling filled with emotions.
When he left, he promised Princess Ninth to come back before giving birth.
But who knew so many things would happen in the middle.
Of the hundreds of people who followed him to the East China Sea, only three people survived: him, Tang Xiaobei, and Bei Qianxun.
When he left, the situation in Dakang was getting better and better, but at this time, the war was raging, the kings were beaten to death, and the Tibetan party Xiang Dongman was also ready to make a move.
Looking at the thick smoke coming from the direction of Double Hump, Jin Feng shook his head to shake away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said coldly: "Iron Hammer, arrange ten hot air balloons to reinforce Double Hump, and notify Black Falcon to return to the village as soon as possible for reinforcements!"
The straight-line distance from the pier to Xihewan is not that far, but the mountain road is difficult to navigate and it takes a long time to ride a horse. However, the airship can ignore the mountains and rivers and can fly back in more than an hour at most.
"Yes!" Tie Hammer hurriedly went to make arrangements.
After a while, the airship, replenished with fuel, flew quickly to the west.
Not far behind the airship, two homing pigeons also took off in the same direction as the airship.
In Gray Sheep Ridge, a young man with a scar on his face stumbled outside Mr. Feng's tent.
He was a close confidant of Mr. Feng, so the guards did not stop him and allowed him to rush into the tent.
"Sir, no luck, Jin Feng is back!"
The young man took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Mr. Feng: "News just came from the pier. They did not stop Jin Feng. All the hot air balloons we arranged at the pier were shot down. Jin Feng has landed!"
