Chapter 537 What is flying in the sky?
The super weapon mentioned by Zhao Sheng has an extremely sophisticated and complex structure.
It is actually a large bomb loaded with 100 kilograms of gunpowder, and dozens of small bombs of various sizes are densely embedded on its main body.
These small bombs are not simple. Not only do they have powerful explosive power, but they are also filled with specially smelted black tar and mixed with a certain amount of solid alcohol.
This design ensures that after the bomb explodes, it will not only cause casualties to the surrounding area in an instant, but will also ignite a raging fire. The lethality and deterrent power cannot be underestimated.
If this bomb were dropped into an enemy camp, the explosion would be shocking.
After the large bomb explodes in the air, the small bombs that are ejected will scatter like meteors, leaving a mess wherever they go.
The burning flames will spread rapidly, igniting everything they touch, and the shock and panic they bring to the enemy are simply immeasurable.
At this time, the performance of the airship should not be underestimated.
If flying against the wind in winter, its speed can reach 120 miles per hour.
The distance between Jing County and Wuyuan is only 1,200 miles, which means that the airship only needs to fly for five hours to reach Wuyuan.
The fuel carried by the airship is enough for it to burn for six or seven hours. If more is stored, it can even last up to eight hours.
Moreover, there was a tailwind on the return trip, so the airship could float in the sky for a while after flying out of the safe zone.
If the boat veers off course, the propellers can be used to flexibly change the route. Mr. Zhao has carefully considered these details.
After receiving the order, Zhao Long quickly passed on the mission. Flight Captain Liang Dong volunteered to personally lead the flight.
Mr. Zhao made a very careful plan and arranged for the airship to take off around seven in the morning.
According to this time and route, if everything goes well, the airship will be able to reach the enemy's sky at 5 pm.
After the bombing, the airship flew along the river for a while, because at night the surface of the river would shimmer under the moonlight, becoming a very clear navigation mark.
When the surface channel is no longer visible, the airship can continue flying for an hour and then float in the sky with low power for a while.
As long as we maintain a certain altitude and do not use propellers, with the help of the northwest wind, we should be able to float over the vicinity of Jing County before dawn.
Even if an unexpected situation occurs, you can fly eastward and use the expressway or railway as a landmark to find the way home.
Before this, the flight team had received about several months of professional flight training, and the airship had also conducted repeated test flights around Jing County for a long time.
In addition, to ensure flight safety and accurate navigation, directional flags of different colors are prepared in advance on each mountain top.
As long as the pilot finds these signs, he can find the way home accurately.
After everything was ready, the airship carrying ammunition took off on time towards the designated target early the next morning.
That afternoon, the crew members on the airship stared intently at the scene below.
When they found the river with a yellow sheen, they deviated thirty degrees to the north and continued flying as planned.
Before long, they came into sight of the Jiuyuan County Railway Station. Seeing this iconic building, everyone knew they were not far from the battlefield.
At this time, Dun Khan had just withdrawn his troops.
After five consecutive days of fierce attacks, the defenders of Jiuyuan County had few artillery shells left, and Dun Khan was planning to capture Jiuyuan County in one fell swoop tomorrow.
At this moment, a soldier happened to look up and suddenly saw five huge black monsters appear in the sky. He was stunned at first, and then shouted in fear:
"Look, what's flying in the sky? Is it a bird or a cloud?"
The shout instantly attracted the attention of the people around, and everyone looked up.
When Dun Khan heard the noise, he hurried out of the tent to check.
When he came out, the five huge, unknown objects had already appeared above his head.
Suddenly, something fell from one of the objects flying in the sky.
Everyone saw it very clearly. A huge oval object fell rapidly, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, like the roar of death.
Soon after, more and more objects began to fall, and they looked more and more like bombs.
Just as everyone was puzzled by the fact that the object before their eyes resembled a potentially dangerous bomb, a flash of extremely dazzling red light suddenly cut through the air, like a blazing sun suddenly exploding in the pupils of their eyes.
Then, there was a roar as deafening as thunder, shaking the earth and sky.
The scene was as if the end of the world had come. Countless tiny objects fled from the core of the explosion, like thousands of sharp arrows, carrying the breath of death, shooting out in all directions.
Sharp whistling sounds rose and fell in the air, piercing everyone's eardrums and piercing their hearts, causing palpitations.
Before everyone could recover from the initial shock, they were once again surrounded by continuous explosions, wave after wave, like a mockery of fate, leaving no room for respite.
This series of events, like a carefully choreographed drama, is breathtakingly real, making people sink deeper and deeper into the unknown chaos in astonishment and helplessness.
Today, Xiao Ran just received a message from the Cui family saying that he would withdraw his troops in the next two days.
At that time, he thought the Cui family was joking and did not take the news seriously at all.
However, at this moment, such a huge explosion suddenly came to my ears, and the ground beneath my feet shook slightly.
"What is this?... Could it be an earth dragon turning over?" Xiao Ran speculated in his heart.
At this moment, a soldier rushed into the tent in a panic and shouted, "Chief, it's bad, go and have a look, there's a sea of fire over there at the Dun camp..."
Xiao Ran was startled and seemed to have thought of something, and immediately ran out.
From a distance, he saw several strange-looking airships in the sky. He had never seen such things before and felt very strange.
Xiao Ran hurriedly climbed up the watchtower and saw clearly that a huge fire was burning in the camp of the Dun army. The fire was so fierce that it lit up half the sky red.
After a while, a few more objects fell from the airship, and then dust several feet high flew up, accompanied by deafening explosions, and the entire battlefield seemed to be shaking.
"It's so shocking!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but mutter to himself, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
He looked at everything happening before his eyes and thought to himself, what a horrible scene it would be if these terrible things fell on his head.
"General, the Dun army will retreat in the next two days...will retreat...retreat..."
The words of the Cui family messenger echoed clearly in his ears again...
