Chapter 282 Skyfire (continued)

The brave soldier leaped with amazing strength before his death, like a geese soaring in the sky. Even if it was just a flash in the pan, it was more admirable than those unlucky people who were wailing and falling to the ground.

Yu Wenming witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but pray for the enemy soldier in his heart: Amitabha, you will be a good family in the next life.

The enemy really imitated the hot air balloon and went into actual combat. Yu Wenming was glad that he made arrangements early. The weapons his younger brother sent were indeed powerful and gave them a headache.

However, Yu Wenming really couldn't figure out how suspicious Yu Wen Wen was that he was so frustrated with such an inexplicable weapon.

Normal people, who would think of creating weapons for "air defense"?

But it was precisely because my brother was suspicious that the weapons he made really came in handy, and the target he dealt with was also the flying weapons he thought of.

One spear, one shield, one attack and one defense. When Yu Wenming thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know if there were still unheard weapons in his brother's hand that he had not taken out.

The fire flashed in the sky, and Yu Wenming looked up again and saw the last hot air balloon falling from mid-air with the fire. In just a moment, the enemy's considerable number of hot air balloons had disappeared. This was the effect of the amazingly powerful weapons.

The generals around Yu Wenming witnessed the occurrence and end of this miracle throughout the whole process.

They had guessed before the war that perhaps the enemy would imitate hot air balloons after suffering several times in a row. After all, the structure of the hot air balloon is not very complicated, it is nothing more than a large Kongming lantern. It is easy for the enemy to draw cats and tigers to get it out.

Now it is a north wind blowing. The enemy troops entrenched in Yecheng are naturally in the upper wind direction when the war begins. Then the opponent may release a few hot air balloons and fly over his own formation to throw thunder.

This is what everyone speculated about might happen during the military convention before the war.

But what they did not expect was that the enemy had copied so many hot air balloons in a short time and was involved in the battle. Such an unprecedented group of hot air balloons really had to fly over them and then throw a large number of sky-blasting thunders, so there was no need to fight this battle.

What is even more surprising is that the "special ordnance team" sent by the King of Xiyang to obey the orders, the weapons used by the King of Xiyang could effectively restrain the enemy's hot air balloons.

Everyone watched the long and weird weapon throughout the process, how the enemy hot air balloons in the sky were cleared out, and they witnessed the whistling fire lights, pulling white smoke into the air, exploding near the enemy hot air balloons, blooming flowers of flames. The scene was so spectacular.

Feng Deyi, who was pale in the Record Room, was stunned when he looked at the smoke that had not yet dissipated. It was the first time he had seen such a spectacular scene, but he soon thought of a problem.

If this weapon is fired at the charge of the cavalry, or aimed at the infantry formation that is ready for battle, its power will probably cause the opponent to flow into a river, right?

Then why not aim directly at the enemy formation in front of you and directly defeat it by three rounds. Isn’t that better?

He thought about it and suddenly realized: If the other party did not release a large number of hot air balloons, then his side would definitely use this thing to shoot the enemy formation on the opposite side. However, the enemy has a large number of shields and even carts. I am afraid that such direct-shooting weapons will not be able to exert their maximum power.

"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks! A large number of enemy cavalry on the west side are approaching, approaching our left wing!!"

A rapid shout came from the observation car, breaking Feng Deyi's contemplation. The sound of warning horns sounded then. The generals looked west and saw a large number of enemy cavalry appearing miles away from the left wing of the big formation on their side, and they were approaching quickly to their side.

Everyone was not panicked about this.

Before, the lookout saw a large number of birds rising in the woods on the west side, which means that there may be a large number of soldiers and horses hidden in the woods. Now that the opponent rushed out, it is no longer possible to achieve the effect of a surprise soldier.

The "fire position" on the left army's flank, "Meteor Fire Rain" was placed on the shelf. The soldiers held torches and silently looked at the approaching enemy cavalry in front of them. Several veterans clasped their left hands into fists and looked forward, then raised their thumbs with their left hand.

They each squinted one eye and used the other eye to penetrate the thumb, and used the "thumb distance measurement method" to estimate the approaching enemy troops in front of them. This method was solved by themselves and was simple and effective.

I don’t know how long it took, but several veterans shouted “Here!”

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and the soldiers quickly used to ignite the fire twists at the tail of the "Meteor Fire Rain". After a while, thick smoke burst into pieces and covered the ground. Countless fire lights rushed into the sky from the smoke, drew graceful arcs, and flew towards the galloping cavalry clusters.

Meteor Fire Rain is a powerful gunpowder weapon. The Zhou army in Shannan quickly broke through the Wuguan Road, broke into Guanzhong, and destroyed the main force of the Sui army in one battle. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of gunpowder, has a fixed range, and has a limited landing range.

The protracted war consumed a large amount of gunpowder in Jingxiang area of ​​Shannan, so the Yuwen army could not reproduce the spectacular "Meteor Fire Rain" that year. Because the number of such weapons was not too large, it could not be used to attack the enemy's main formation in this decisive battle.

However, it is a good choice to use it to deal with enemy cavalry that may appear on the west side of the battlefield.

As long as the meteor fire rain falls into the cavalry group that is charging, the war horses can panic, the charge momentum is interrupted, and the chaos is formed. Then the cavalry on its own side can easily repel them.

Countless soldiers, with excitement, watched the meteor fire rain fall to the ground, and then a large amount of fire and smoke bloomed, covering the whistling enemy cavalry.

The tide of cheers erupted.

......

The north wind blew, bringing the pungent smell of gunpowder. Yuchi Qin felt a little uncomfortable with his nose. Seeing the vast majority of unmanned horses disappearing into the sky fire, he was amazed and sneered:

"The meteor fire rain is just that? When you deal with Yang Jian, have you used up all the gunpowder for the next few years?"

Looking back, the cavalrymen wearing strong and holding sharp edges were following closely, and ahead was the enemy's flanks. In the sea of ​​their main flags, I think the "Yuwen" flag would be particularly powerful.

Yuchi Qin saw many "flying bags" flying out of Ye City from afar, knowing that these "flying bags" carry hope of breaking the enemy, but then he saw these "flying bags" disappear into the flames blooming in the air. Now, only his cavalry can defeat the enemy.

When Xuchang was defeated, Yecheng was in danger. After Yuchi Qin, who was stationed in Pujin, learned that the enemy was quickly crossing the river, he immediately decided to lead the cavalry eastward and traveled to Fukou Xing to cross Taihang Mountain to reinforce Yecheng.

Now that he finally caught up with the decisive battle, he was going to enter the battlefield as a surprise weapon.

However, when leading troops into the woods on the west side of the battlefield, birds flying in the forest will inevitably startle. If the enemy is smart enough, they should be wary of it.

Ordinary enemies will mobilize troops to defend against the flanks. Yuchi Qin knew that he would not be surprised by that time, but if the enemy was the two brothers of Yu Wenming, they might not be like this, because the other party likes to use strange weapons to "wait for the rabbit."

It was probably because of this that Yuchi Dun and Yuchi Shun suffered great losses one after another. Yuchi Qin thought so, so he wanted to "take the trick."

So, what kind of strange weapons will the opponent use?

For example, the "swarm swarm" that has been used, such as the "meteor fire rain" that is coming from heaven.

Back then, Yuwen Liang and his son led their troops to quickly break through the Wuguan Road and defeated the main force of the Sui army near Chang'an. It is said that they rely on a weapon called "Meteor Fire Rain". Yuchi Qin kept this in mind.

Therefore, he ordered more than ten dead soldiers to lead a large number of horses to launch a "charge" first, luring the other party to launch a strange weapon that might exist. Now, it is true.

Then, it's his turn to attack.

Several miles away, not too long in front of the three thousand Bingzhou cavalry, they rode their horses in batches, following the "Yuchi" flag in front of them, passing through the smoke of gunpowder, like a fierce wolf pack rushing out of the smoke.
