Chapter 181: Burn it all up for the moon

As the hot air balloon took off, Liu Xingming became more and more excited.

The task he was going to perform this time was very important, which was related to whether the Ming army could take Baling without bloodshed.

Although he is already very skilled in controlling hot air balloons, he is inevitably a little nervous.

The emperor has made it clear that he would destroy the Donglu granary in one fell swoop.

The food and grass brought by the Ming army had been consumed for a while. The extra food and grass could not be taken away, so it would be better to destroy it.

In this way, the morale of the Eastern Barbarians will be declining and it will be a matter of time before the defeat will be defeated.

Of course, Liu Xingming knew the great relationship, so he had a successful attitude from the beginning.

During the last flight, he had already recorded the exact location of the granary and this time he was going straight to his destination.

"General, do you want to raise it a little longer?"

"Well, raise it first, wait until it reaches the sky above Baling and then descend to a suitable height."

The weather is very clear now, and there is no fog in the sky, which is very suitable for hot air balloon flight.

Liu Xingming's confidence increased a little more, and he silently said that success or failure was a success or failure in one fell swoop.

...

...

"Your Majesty, the tunnels have been dug up. Are you going to start bombing the city?"

In the face of Li Dingguo's inquiry, Zhu Youlang did not immediately reply.

He looked up at the hot air balloon that was flying higher and higher, and after a moment, he said, "Wait a minute, wait until the granary is burned before taking action."

The effect Zhu Youlang wanted was to bloom both inside and outside, which would be a fatal blow to the morale of the Qing army. Now is not the time.

I am very confident in Liu Xingming and Zhu Youlang. First of all, it is because the Qing army in Baling had never seen a hot air balloon, and it was impossible for me to realize the upcoming danger.

Secondly, Liu Xingming has rich experience and confidence, which can best exert his advantages at this time.

He had already made an agreement with Liu Xingming in advance that as long as the city was filled with smoke, it would be the time when the Ming army bombed the city.

Now Zhu Youlang only hopes that this moment will come soon.

...

...

People will collapse if they hold a string for a long time.

Now the Qing army at the top of Baling City is in this state.

It was so uncomfortable that the Ming army was on the periphery of the city without attacking, and it was so uncomfortable that the two sides confronted each other like this.

Although I know that the Ming army is digging authentic tunnels, I will definitely not be able to dig them well in a short period of time.

In other words, no surprise, this state will last for a long time.

Zhou Peigong glanced at the soldiers on the city wall and found that many soldiers were sleepy and were yawning frequently.

He couldn't help but frown, how could he continue to be on duty in this state?

If the Ming army suddenly attacks, they will not be able to defend at all.

"Wei Fu Zun, should the defenders at the city wall change their defenses?"

Faced with Zhou Peigong's doubts, Wei Xiannian came forward and smiled charmingly, "Mr. Zhou doesn't know anything. In fact, these soldiers have just changed their defense."

"Since they just changed their defense, why are they so sleepy?"

"It should be the night I spent last night and didn't sleep well."

Zhou Peigong was furious when he heard this.

"Discussion? They still have the heart to spend time with the enemy? Will the Wei Mansion Master ignore it?"

Zhou Peigong suddenly became furious, which scared Wei Xiannian.

He thought to himself if Mr. Zhou was too much trouble. It was obvious that the soldiers were just having fun in private, so what's the big deal?

"This official is really not easy to interfere. Besides, this is also human nature."

Zhou Peigong sneered: "It seems that Wei Fuzun has known that the soldiers have done this entertainment in private long ago? If I guess correctly, it should be gambling, right? This is explicitly prohibited by the army. Zhou Fuzun not only did not stop it, but also indulged in this behavior. Are you not afraid that the Governor will be disappointed when he finds out?"

Wei Xiannian was a little scared when he heard this.

Who is Zhou Peigong? He is the confidant of the Governor.

If he really whispered a few words in the ear of the Governor, Wei Xiannian's career would be over.

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou calmed down. This matter was indeed neglected by my official. But the matter was not as serious as Mr. Zhou thought."

"Have you heard of Wei Fu Zun's precautions for trouble?"

"Mr. Zhou said that my official immediately ordered a change of defense and gambling in the army will be strictly prohibited in the future."

The most urgent task at the moment is to appease Zhou Peigong. Wei Xiannian did not want him to come to Governor Hu to slander him.

"snort!"

Zhou Peigong snorted coldly and left with his sleeves.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou!"

Wei Xiannian couldn't stop Zhou Peigong from shouting several times, and stomped his feet in anger.

...

...

“It can be down!”

Seeing that the hot air balloon had already flown to the right position, Liu Xingming ordered in a deep voice.

The soldiers quickly started to work hard, and after one operation, the hot air balloon began to slowly descend with the airflow.

According to this airflow, the hot air balloon will soon fly over the granary.

Liu Xingming took out a fire bomb and looked at it carefully for a moment.

According to Your Majesty, as long as this incendiary bomb is thrown down, the surrounding area will quickly burn, much faster than watering tung oil and igniting it with a torch.

But His Majesty said that the number of incendiary bombs is not large and must be used at the most critical moments. Therefore, only a few were handed over to Liu Xingming.

Liu Xingming had only a moment of chance. If the hot air balloon flew over the granary, he would have no chance to throw it.

"The general is almost here!"

The opportunity was fleeting, and Liu Xingming immediately ordered: "Prepare to throw a fire bomb!"

He wanted to throw all these incendiary bombs at once and destroy the granary directly.

As he got closer and closer to the granary, Liu Xingming's heartbeat accelerated sharply and he was about to hold his breath.

Finally, the hot air balloon flew directly above the granary, with the right time, place and people!

"Throw!"

Liu Xingming issued an order.

The Ming soldiers threw the prepared incendiary bomb downwards, and soon the incendiary bomb hit the granary and quickly started to burn.

This pure wooden structure has no fire resistance at all. Therefore, open flames are strictly prohibited from raising important areas like granaries.

The fire spread instantly, and the fire surged into the sky! The rolling smoke circled straight into the sky.

"Success!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Xingming waved his fists excitedly.

If he wasn't in a hot air balloon, he would even jump up excitedly.

"This incendiary bomb is really amazing."

Liu Xingming couldn't believe his eyes.

"The fire spreads at a speed that even gods can hardly save it."

Your Majesty should know soon, right?

...

...

"Look, your Majesty, it's burning!"

Li Dingguo was the most sharp-eyed and immediately discovered the raging fire lit in the city.

The smoke is rolling, and from this perspective, the fire must be very large.

Zhu Youlang looked closely and saw the thick black smoke.

There is no doubt that Liu Xingming succeeded.

OK! It really didn't disappoint me!

At this moment, the Qing army must be busy putting out the fire, and the situation will be in chaos. It is a good time to bomb the city!
