Chapter 429: Aerial Bomb

Latest URL: "Advance to the north!"

The chariot soldiers harnessed the horses, and at this moment, the entire Chariot Formation moved forward continuously.

While the War Chariots were moving, the Flintlock Infantry of the Prince's Personal Army kept firing at the surroundings.

Within the Chariot Formation, Chang Wei directed the movement of the formation in an orderly manner.

This was the brilliance of the Chariot Formation invented by Yan Wang; the Chariot Formation could protect the Flintlock Infantry, and the Flintlock Infantry could likewise protect the Chariot Formation while it was moving.

Because at this moment, it was a perfect hollow circular square formation with no blind spots for shooting, a sharp weapon for dealing with Cavalry.

Moreover, within the range of the Flintlock, the Arrows of the Northern Di Cavalry had no great advantage.

At a distance of one hundred meters, the Flintlock Infantry could pierce their Armor and kill them, while their Arrows from over one hundred meters away landed on the Scale Armor of the Flintlock Infantry, but the damage was greatly reduced.

Realizing this, they charged forward again, but the closer they got, the higher the damage from the Flintlock, and the greater their losses.

Furthermore, as long as they charged too close, the Flintlock Infantry would immediately hide inside the Chariot Formation, and wait until they moved away to return to the perimeter and continue firing.

"Charge! Charge!"

Seeing Yan Wang attacking all the way to the west, Gerdan was extremely anxious; to the north was where the Enke Royal Tent was located, and if the Royal Tent were breached, it would be a great humiliation for the Black Iron Royal Tent.

Like the military flags of Great Song, the Royal Tent was also a symbol of the Northern Di Royal Tent.

At the same time, driven by the Northern Di Cavalry, slaves came from the north and began to charge the formation.

But under the round after round of Flintlock fire from the Wangfu Army, they fell in rows like harvested leeks; these slaves had neither the speed of Cavalry nor Armor, and several charges were complete suicide.

The Weapon of Yan Wang's soldiers terrified them, and soon, the slaves were no longer willing to charge the formation.

Many slaves even raised their hands to surrender and crawled toward the Chariot Formation.

They had long been tired of being enslaved by the Northern Di, and every day they lived on the Grassland, they missed Great Song.

It was just that before, they had never imagined that the Great Song army would dare to strike into the Grassland.

Now,

seeing that the Black Iron Royal Tent could no longer hold out, they were naturally unwilling to remain on the Grassland.

"Stop advancing, defend in place!"

Chang Wei ordered the soldiers to temporarily detain the surrendering slaves; on the battlefield, he had to be careful.

He still had a plan to implement.

Just as both sides were fighting, in the middle of the Chariot Formation, Wangfu Army soldiers moved a heavy object down from a War Chariot.

This object was none other than a Hot Air Balloon.

Since the radius of the Chariot Formation was two hundred meters and it was in the middle of all the Chariot Formations, they did not need to worry at all that the Hot Air Balloon would be hit by the bows and arrows of the Northern Di Cavalry.

After the Hot Air Balloon was moved down, three soldiers skillfully unfolded the balloon envelope and began to heat it simultaneously.

They had all received training from Xu Ke and could now skillfully operate the Hot Air Balloon.

"Hot Air Balloon." Chang Wei chuckled.

To him, the Hot Air Balloon could not exert much effect, but it could definitely intimidate the Northern Di and make the morale of the Northern Di even more chaotic.

Moreover, he had another purpose.

That was to let the Hot Air Balloon ascend and search for the location of the Black Iron Royal Tent's tribe from the sky.

From high altitude, combined with a Telescope, the entire Grassland would be in full view.

After defeating Enke and these Cavalry, they would be able to sweep through the tribes of the Black Iron Royal Tent.

The battle was still continuing.

After the Chariot Formation stayed in place for half an hour, the Hot Air Balloon slowly ascended.

At this time, the weather on the Grassland was cloudless, and the wind was also very light; after the Hot Air Balloon ascended, it began to move slowly toward the north.

Sending the Hot Air Balloon into the sky, Chang Wei said to the three soldiers above: "Show them something impressive."

"Yes, General." The three soldiers shouted.

Just after Chang Wei gave the order, everyone on the entire battlefield saw a huge object slowly rising from the Chariot Formation.

The Northern Di Cavalry looked at the big ball floating in the sky as if they had seen a ghost, so terrified that many people forgot to fight.

Gradually, the Hot Air Balloon stopped at a distance of three hundred meters from the ground; this position was not high, but it was enough to ensure that no Weapon could harm the Hot Air Balloon.

At the same time, such a close distance allowed the three of them to clearly observe the situation on the ground.

"Hahaha, these Northern Di dogs are dumbfounded, right? We will collect the debt they owe us people of Yanzhou this time."

The soldiers shouted on the Hot Air Balloon; at a distance of three hundred meters, their voices could not reach the ground at all, but this could not stop the excited mood of the three at this moment.

As people from the North Four Commanderies who had been harmed the most by the Northern Di, who wouldn't be full of hatred for the Northern Di?

While venting, the three kept adjusting the Hot Air Balloon.

"Drop an Explosive Shell down."

The Hot Air Balloon flew over the Northern Di Cavalry, and a soldier picked up an Explosive Shell with a smile on his lips.

These Explosive Shells were all Cannonballs for the Mortar, and at this time, there were thirty on the Hot Air Balloon.

"This cannot be thrown randomly; the General said we must strike by surprise," another soldier said.

The soldier helplessly put down the Explosive Shell; at this moment, they suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and the direction this wind was blowing was due north, and the Hot Air Balloon flew all the way north.

"What on earth is this thing!" From the moment the Hot Air Balloon flew up, Gerdan's eyes had not left this thing.

He could still understand Artillery and firearms.

But this thing flying out of the Chariot Formation was truly beyond his scope of understanding; now, only fear remained in his heart.

It was just that when this thing floated over their heads, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and there was a smell of urine.

"Damn it..."

Gerdan immediately realized what that was; someone was peeing on the strange flying thing.

On the Hot Air Balloon, the three soldiers laughed loudly, seemingly not satisfied yet; one soldier said: "If I had known, I would have drunk more water this morning, so we could have let them have their fill."

"What is that?"

"It's too terrifying."

"......"

While Gerdan was vigilantly watching this strange object, Enke was also watching it.

At the same time, many Northern Di Cavalry were panicked because of it; Enke forced himself to calm down and roared, "This strange object belongs to the Yan Wang's soldiers, everyone calm down."

Hearing Enke's voice, many Cavalry regained their composure, but the Cavalry still had no heart for battle, keeping their eyes fixed on this strange object flying in the sky.

On the Hot Air Balloon, three soldiers were continuously searching for targets.

Moving north along the wind direction, they quickly discovered a unique person.

One soldier held a Telescope, and pointing at a general among the Cavalry, he said, "Look at that person wearing tiger skin, he must be a Northern Di general; if we blow him up, the three of us will have performed a great service."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other two soldiers immediately went wide.

At this moment, that person was thirty meters away from them; a soldier lit an Explosive Shell and used all his might to throw it down.

Below, Enke was staring at the strange object in the sky.

He saw a black object fly down and fall in front of him.

Seeing this, he was shocked and instinctively dodged.

However, he had just spurred his horse to run less than ten meters to the east when a second black object also fell, landing right in the path of his evasion.

With a "Boom," he suddenly felt himself fly outward, and then the world went pitch black.
