Chapter Twenty-nine God Soldiers descend from the sky
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
In fact, the absolute altitude of Mount Tai is only 1,500 meters, which is not outstanding in China.
However, in the land of Qilu, Mount Tai is the undisputed number one mountain. As long as you get to the middle of the mountain and look around, you will already have a feeling that all the mountains are small. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will feel that Confucius climbed Mount Tai and made the world small.
Feeling sad.
Of course, you can only feel this way when climbing during the day. If you climb a mountain in the middle of the night and it is a dark cloudy night, you will only feel confused when you look out because you can't see anything.
If this hillside hadn't been sorted out in advance and clearly indicated the direction, even Wang Yu, who had received professional wilderness survival training, would have felt disoriented when Ye Ling was at the top.
The nights in this era are really too dark.
Later generations of airplanes flew at a higher altitude than Mount Tai, but when looking through the portholes, you could still see some lights. But now, no matter how you look at it, there is only darkness. It wasn't until signals from halfway up the mountain were transmitted layer by layer that Wang Yu
Learned about the latest trends in Fenggao City.
"Lord?" Huang Zhong looked at Wang Yu and asked for instructions.
"Well, get ready to start." Wang Yu nodded.
The moment on the eve of the decisive battle should have been full of ambition and pride. However, although the opponent did not feel it himself, Wang Yu always felt that something was inconsistent when looking at Huang Zhong's attire.
Huang Zhong was not wearing armor, but thick cotton clothes. The sturdy linen was filled with cotton wool, and his limbs were also tied with thick linen, which made him look very bloated and a bit funny.
Especially when Wang Yu thought about the identity of the other party, his sense of disobedience became even stronger. You must know that the person in front of him was Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong himself didn't feel much about it. In fact, including Wang Yu, the hundred or so people on the mountain were all wearing similar clothes, with the exception of a few auxiliary personnel who did not participate in the war.
This is not to keep out the cold. In fact, it is warmer at the top of the mountain than at the bottom. Why is it necessary for it to be thicker than at the bottom?
Looking around at the crowd, Wang Yu saw a hundred eyes that were firm and full of fighting intent. Of course, tension was inevitable.
Although it has been practiced many times, when it comes to actual combat, even with Huang Zhong's bravery and calmness, he feels a little unsure. After all, the tactics used in this battle are too unbelievable. If it were not for the suggestion and organization
It was Wang Yu who was training. Who dares to believe that people can fly in the sky?
After Wang Yu's step-by-step instruction and countless drills from easy to difficult, the soldiers have mastered the skills skillfully. However, when it comes to actual combat, any small accident may lead to a major accident.
If an accident occurs at an altitude of more than 100 feet, there is only one outcome.
Even if the accident occurs at the last moment, it will still be fatal, because what this surprise force wants to do is to raid the enemy camp where more than 200,000 troops are stationed!
"Brothers, are you nervous or scared?" Wang Yu suddenly asked.
"No!" Everyone answered in unison.
Wang Yu patted the hang glider placed next to him and said with a smile: "Actually, it's okay to be nervous. To be honest, I'm a little nervous too. It's hard to say whether this big kite will work or not."
This thing is made of wooden frame and oilcloth. Its sturdiness is definitely incomparable with those made of alloy in later generations. The distance from here to the company camp under Fenggao City is quite far, and it is in such a dark night. It is difficult to say that it will work.
What an accident, I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.
"However, we have been practicing a lot these days. The blood and sweat shed during training will not be in vain! Maybe someone cannot complete the journey, maybe the raid does not achieve the expected effect, even if everything goes well, there is a possibility of dying in the chaos...
"
Wang Yu's voice was a little low. Upon seeing this, Huang Zhong was about to say something, but saw Wang Yu wave his hand to him, and then his tone returned to his usual high-spirited tone.
"A general will inevitably die in battle. You can't guarantee the safety of your brothers, but you can rest assured that as long as you don't die, the family members of the deceased will be taken care of by you. Even if you die in battle, there will still be people in the Taishan Wang family, so,
Don’t worry about anything, it’s the same as usual drills..."
Wang Yu stretched out his hand, tested the wind direction one last time, and then waved his hand heavily: "The city will send a signal to give us navigation. Follow the north wind, and we will fly over together and scare the yellow turbans out of their wits!"
"Follow the order!"
"Scare them to death! Teach them not to dare to pretend to be crazy again!"
Hearing what Wang Yu said was interesting, everyone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
The most fundamental tone of this surprise attack is to scare people. Otherwise, even if they can fly into the enemy camp by surprise and launch a surprise attack, how can a hundred people defeat hundreds of thousands of troops?
"Let's go! Han Sheng goes first, and someone will come to suppress the formation!"
"Here!" Huang Zhong promised and walked to the top of the slope.
The location where everyone is located is a natural slope at the top of the mountain. The slope slopes down in an arc of about thirty degrees, with a total length of about a hundred feet. Taking advantage of the natural terrain, it only needs some simple modifications to serve as a
The runway for hang glider takeoffs is put into use.
Huang Zhong raised a hang glider and started running.
At first, he was holding the hang glider; when he ran about halfway, the hang glider was already as light as nothing; after running for a while, he saw the front end of the hang glider lifted up, flying quickly, and soared upward; finally, amid a burst of cheers,
Disappeared into the depths of the night sky.
These one hundred people were all carefully selected by Wang Yu and Huang Zhong. They were all courageous and strong in martial arts. Even without Wang Yu's morale-boosting words, they would not have hesitated. They were even more powerful at this moment.
Following Huang Zhong, hang gliders repeated the process of running and taking off one after another, taking loyal and brave warriors one after another into the depths of the night sky.
Looking at their figures, Wang Yu seemed to see a sharp blade, thrusting into the enemy's heart with unstoppable momentum!
The time it takes for a hundred hang gliders to take off may seem long, but in fact it is very short.
The original intention of forming this unit was to form a sniper force with bows and arrows as weapons. Later, the situation in Qingzhou changed drastically. Wang Yu had this air attack plan, and the soldiers have been training to control gliders. Up to now, they have
It's easy to fly and takes off very quickly.
Soon, it was Wang Yu's turn.
The hang glider in my hand is not as heavy as expected and is very strong. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Mo Zhai, the founder of the Mohist family, made a wooden bird that could fly. Later, after Lu Ban's improvement, there were kites in later generations.
Gliding is not an incredible invention for the Chinese people. When Wang Yu explained the key to the craftsmen of the Wang family, everyone was shocked at first, but it soon turned into something like: 'It turns out that
Such "why didn't I think of it earlier" thought.
In fact, the difference between the two is just a layer of paper. Once it is broken, there is nothing surprising about it.
These craftsmen of the Wang family are capable of making powerful crossbows, so there is no reason why they cannot play with hang gliders. There is no quality problem in the things they make. The risk mainly comes from nature itself.
The first is turbulence.
As the altitude changes, the temperature on the mountain changes significantly, because the updraft formed by the temperature difference intersects with the cold wind blowing from the north, easily forming turbulence.
Not long after Wang Yu took off, he encountered this thing. A cold wind blowing sideways caused the hang glider to bump up and down. Wang Yu quickly lowered the nose of the hang glider and lowered the height slightly to avoid the cold wind.
of crosswind.
This kind of operation requires a lot of experience and skills. If you operate it too fast or too slow, it will cause problems. Wang Yu didn't know if anyone had problems because of this. The strong cold wind blocked his senses. At this moment, he could only
I can pray silently for the warriors under my command.
Grasping the direction is the second trouble.
The mountain you take off from is very high, so you don’t have to worry about hitting the mountain wall, but if you lose your way and turn around halfway, it will be difficult to tell. The dark night blocks the view, and the hang glider is not a real aircraft. Under the current visibility,
If you wait until the naked eye detects the existence of danger, then the danger is already inevitable.
Fortunately, there is Fenggao navigation.
The rockets constantly released into the air from the top of the city are actually primitive fireworks. The black powder made by Wang Yu has limited power and cannot be used as muskets and artillery. In addition to large doses of explosions, it is just a fireworks display.
Although there are a lot of bugs, it can basically guarantee uninterrupted release. As long as you pass through the clouds, you can use this most primitive method to navigate.
After flying close to the company camp, the firelight around the company camp and the lights on the top of Fenggao City became the best guiding lights.
The last trouble was during the landing.
There were torches around the Yellow Turban camp, but there were no lighting measures inside the camp. Before landing, the soldiers could not see what was under their feet.
Maybe it's a military tent, so you're lucky; maybe it's a weapon or debris, and you're unlucky if you hit it; the worst thing is that it hits patrolling guards or the fortifications in the camp.
The glider is two feet wide and more than one foot long from front to back. The target is too big. Even if it can land safely, it will be difficult not to attract the attention of the enemy.
Wang Yu set up a specific method for this, and the strange costumes worn by everyone were designed for this.
When the hang glider reaches a certain height from the ground, the soldiers will give up the hang glider, spread out their limbs, use the force of the hessian cloth as a buffer, and continue gliding like a large flying squirrel. When giving up the hang glider, they will
Use a fire starter on your body to light the fuse, and connect the other end of the fuse to the gunpowder on the glider.
In other words, every time a soldier completes all tactical actions safely, a sniper lurking in the darkness will appear in the Yellow Turban Army camp, and at the same time, a big fireball will appear in the sky above the company camp!
Divine soldiers descending from the sky, this is the full picture of Wang Yu's plan to attack the Yellow Turban Army, and it is also where his confidence lies.
