The biggest gap in the war is the dimensionality reduction strike, which is completely irresistible by human power!
Guns fight against cold weapons, artillery fights against rifles, ironclad ships fight against wooden sailing ships... These can barely be regarded as semi-dimensionality reduction strikes, but when the air force appears, it completely subverts mankind's concept of war!
The Cossacks have been running rampant in Central Asia and the Far East for hundreds of years and have accumulated rich combat experience, but they are still helpless when encountering such monsters that suddenly appear in the sky!
How could a small-caliber rifle penetrate the solid armor of an airship? They had never even heard of the concept of an upward-firing anti-aircraft gun. The rain of bullets falling from the sky was a complete one-sided massacre.
"Fire...fire...there are enough bullets this time, as many as you need..."
"We still have some remaining fuel kerosene...light the whole barrel and throw it away...burn them to death..."
A hole was opened in the kerosene barrel, and the thick linen cloth was stuffed inside, which soon became a fuse for the bomb. After the torch was lit, blazing flames jumped from the linen cloth soaked in kerosene.
This is the large *******! The entire barrel was thrown from mid-air, and the burning kerosene splashed on the ground. This was originally a pasture, with a lot of fodder, and many haystacks were directly ignited by the kerosene.
Boom... The wooden barrel smashed into pieces on the Cossack's head, and the sprayed kerosene completely ignited. The screaming Rakshasa ghosts and the war horses all burned.
The fire horse was in unbearable pain and could no longer control it. It was charging desperately in the crowd, and a fire dragon was charging at random in the military formation!
"Burn them to death! Burn them to death...Brothers, keep fighting! Our reinforcements are coming!"
Although the Qing troops on the ground didn't know what an airship was, they did recognize the Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty! Being able to hang out a bright yellow dragon flag means that this big guy is inextricably linked to the emperor!
Sure enough, Doro and Guan Lu, each with a tin-plate trumpet, stepped forward and started shouting down below.
"General Rongquan listens to the order...The Yili Qing Army listens to the order...We are His Majesty's Royal Forest Army...We have brought Long Live Lord's airship to support you..."
"Today we flew over the Tianshan Mountains to deliver supplies to you...the artillery shells have arrived...there are more artillery shells!"
With a bang, there was an explosion inside and outside Ningyuan City! Is this demonic dragon-like thing the airship of Lord Long Live? Can this thing fly over the Tianshan Mountains in winter?
people! Can he actually fly in the sky?
This was not the time to think wildly. The sluggish morale of the entire Qing army was once again ignited. Those Qing troops who had surrendered took advantage of the enemy's panic, grabbed their weapons and horses, and gathered together again to fight the enemy.
The Qing army that had just been preparing to retreat to the city stopped retreating and continued to move forward to kill the enemy!
The airship in the sky dropped the kerosene barrel-modified bomb from a high position, and grenades exploded one after another on the heads of the Cossack cavalry!
"That's an official... shoot him..." The heavy machine gunner saw Redbeard running away on horseback at a glance. He turned the mechanism, pointed the muzzle at him and shot him.
Thug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug... Two rapid fire shots, the fleeing red-bearded brigade commander was hit by more than ten bullets in the back, and his spine was broken.
Vomiting blood and not even screaming, he fell under the horse!
The entire Cossack army was in chaos, the command system completely collapsed, and the airship had no opponent at all. He even descended to an altitude of fifty meters to shoot at close range. At this time, people on the ground could feel the terror of the airship even more!
Wherever the crowds are the most crowded, they will encounter the most powerful fire suppression. It is often difficult for a battalion of Cossacks to gather together, and two Gatlings firing two or three bullets continuously can destroy their morale.
Not to mention ***, it will be a big piece when smashed, and a barrel of kerosene can burn sixty or seventy square meters, which is not enough for a person to stand on!
"Retreat...cannot fight...retreat..."
The bravery of the Cossacks is reserved for humans, and non-human opponents are not something they can defeat!
Wherever the Zeppelin flew, there was a large-scale retreat. These Rakshasa ghosts did not even want the bodies of their burned comrades, and ran away like bereaved dogs.
The horn of counterattack was blown so suddenly, Yining's Qing troops chased the Cossacks with howls. Looking closely from the sky, it looked like a parabola of debris emitted after an explosion.
"Save ammunition...the airship stops attacking...approaches Ningyuan City..."
The airship began to fly slowly towards Ningyuan City, aiming for the university grounds. At this moment, thousands of people in the city cheered, and people rushed forward chasing the huge airship.
"Close the hot air vent...stop the blower...relieve the air bag pressure..."
"Throw the cable...Brothers on the ground take the cable...find more people to pull...find more rocks..."
Dozens of thick cables were dropped on both sides of the pod. The pressure relief port at the top of the air bag was opened, and hot air puffed into the sky.
Hot and cold mixed together, as if this huge demonic dragon was breathing heavily from exhaustion, and white smoke rushed into the sky!
The soldiers and civilians started working together, and hundreds of people pulled desperately on each cable. The captain used a small flag in mid-air to direct the people to use their strength, and the huge airship pod began to slowly approach the ground!
Ningyuan City is a very important military fortress. The large campus in the city is very spacious enough for cavalry to conduct exercises. It is very easy to park an airship.
"One two three...pull...one two three...pull..."
The buoyancy of the airship continued to decrease, and the people below continued to use pulling force to resist. The demonic dragon reluctantly twisted its body, descending meter by meter.
Finally, there was a loud bang, and the dust on the ground finally landed safely!
"Fix the cable... A hundred steps around the airship is a warning area, and no one is allowed to get close... Where is the general? Where is the general?"
After Doro and Guan Lu jumped off the airship, they searched anxiously among the crowd. After a while, General Rong Quan was carried on a stretcher. The military doctor accompanying the army said with a sad face.
"It's a sudden stroke. The general's heart is hurting and his body is numb... I'm using acupuncture to treat it. If you two generals have anything to say, please tell me quickly!"
Doro rushed over and grabbed General Rongquan's hand, "General! You...why are you like this? His Majesty knows your achievements and has a favor for you!"
Rong Quan's eyes suddenly lit up. He struggled to get up and kowtow to receive the order, but how could he move? No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't leave the stretcher.
Guan Lu suppressed the general and said, "Stop moving! I won't blame you even if you live long live. General, just listen on the stretcher..."
"Your Majesty said...Rong Quan is a good man. It is not easy to be trapped in the northern border for many years. It is a great achievement that he did not become a weakling!"
"We can even recapture Ningyuan City, and we need a big reward... First, let the envoy bring the double-eyed flower feathers and a yellow mantle. When we return to the capital after the victory, I will give you another reward!"
"Come here... bring the yellow mantle and the flower feathers to the general!"
The yellow mantle was draped over his body, the single-eyed feathers on his official hat were pulled out, and the double-eyed feathers were inserted. Rong Quan had tears rolling down his eyes. He wanted to express his gratitude but could not find the words.
At this time, an engineer from the Zeppelin squeezed into the circle and looked down, "Hmm... a heart attack and a stroke? General, I have a way to save you, it depends on whether you believe me or not!"
