Hot air balloons, unlike airplanes, cannot move against the wind.
In other words, its use is largely limited by the prevailing weather.
This kind of disadvantage has been expected for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would be encountered at this juncture.
Now that we are facing the wind, it is difficult to make even an inch of progress. How can we talk about leaping over the chasm?
If there is no wind, the direction can be fine-tuned, but if there is a headwind, there is absolutely nothing you can do.
"Oh, God can't help me!"
"Could it be that the Emperor is really hopeless?"
Facing the unfathomable God, Qi Yu felt his own insignificance, and at the same time, a sense of helplessness came to his mind.
With such unfavorable weather, what kind of battle plan can we talk about?
Qi Xiaotong didn't have any good ideas, so he just consoled him: "Father, don't worry, there are still two days before the war between Donglu and Goryeo begins. What will the weather be like in two days? How can we predict in advance? We may not be able to predict it in advance. At that time, the wind suddenly turned again?"
Steering?
How difficult it is!
Not to mention turning, even if the wind is weaker, it is already considered Amitabha.
However, besides placing hope in God, what else can we do?
Thinking of this, Qi Yu murmured: "I have said that there are unforeseen circumstances. It is indeed possible. I just hope that the changes in the situation will eventually go as I wish."
Xiaotong hurriedly said: "My father once helped the world, and he has accumulated a lot of moral virtue. I believe that God will treat him appropriately and be kind to him."
"Well, I hope so!"
"..."
In this way, Qi Yu's army fell into passive waiting.
On the one hand, they are waiting for the outcome of the war between Donglu and Goryeo; on the other hand, they are hoping for a change in the weather.
Let’s talk about them one by one first.
In terms of results, there was no one-sided situation as imagined.
Both sides have their own gains and losses, and they are evenly matched, showing a stalemate like a stalemate.
Donglu's cavalry was indeed very fierce, but the Koreans were not vegetarians either. After a head-to-head encounter, there was a close draw.
It can be seen that the host Korea still has something to rely on.
Of course, this has something to do with their familiarity with each other. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. They have cooperated for so many years, and they are like old mistresses who know everything. As soon as Donglu picked up the gun, the Koreans immediately knew how hard the opponent would use it.
Overall, a tug-of-war ensued.
And these battle reports instantly triggered a wave of heated discussions across the country.
As a result, Goryeo's attention changed from the original simple Fusang to the two major enemies, and related military resources began to be tilted towards these two major battlefields.
As for the prisoner Li Hongyu in custody, he has basically faded out of the conversation among politicians.
Not to mention the courtiers, even the King of Korea himself could not care about him at this time.
The result of not caring was to remove the relevant scouts and relocate them to the front line.
Such an arrangement would inevitably lead to poor information transmission. Even if something unexpected happened here, the King of Korea would not be able to know it in time.
And this kind of situation is exactly what Qi Yu likes to see.
Without information and military orders, this place has become a veritable abandoned place.
And I can be cruel without restraint.
Even if he is killed with mountains of bones and rivers of blood, there is no need to worry about soldiers coming to rescue him.
Compared with these favorable situations, God seems a little confused.
The direction of the wind remains the same, with no intention of changing at all.
Without this core element, subsequent actions will become impossible to carry out.
Alas, do you think the head is big or not?
Qi Yu looked at the soldiers of the three armies who were ready to go, frowned and said with emotion: "Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. God, God, I hope you can sell all the noodles and turn the wind direction!"
Xiaotong also started to pray after hearing this, and muttered something: "The sage said, those who have attained the Dao will have many help, but those who have lost the Dao will have little help. I hope God will show mercy and help my father."
The sincere prayers of the father and daughter did not change the direction of the wind.
However, it is not completely without miraculous effects.
Although the wind direction has not changed, the wind force has become significantly smaller, giving people the feeling that it is almost as light as a veil blowing on the face.
After a few more hours of this, the wind began to slowly stop.
Ah...God is really helping me!
Oh no! It should be said that there are unforeseen circumstances! The sudden lull in the wind just now was not a favor given to Qi Yu by God, but a brief moment of silence before the heavy rain.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that the originally bright sky suddenly surged with lead clouds, and then, a black mass slowly rolled over.
Something bad happened!
The strategy he adopted was an air strike and a fire attack. If it rained heavily, it would backfire on the garrison inside.
However, this does not mean that there is no solution at all.
If we act swiftly, we can definitely take advantage of the silence before the storm is about to come to do something. As long as the attack is successful before the rain comes, the infantry can enter it.
Opportunities are fleeting, and if you miss them, you will have to wait again.
Xiaotong thought for a while and quickly figured out this point, and then suggested: "Father, it's a race against time. You must take action immediately to win this hard-won opportunity."
Qi Yu nodded seriously and said, "Yes, this opportunity is hard to come by, so you really shouldn't miss it."
However, when his words changed, he said sadly: "However, sending troops in this way is extremely risky. I am very worried that there will be unexpected casualties."
"Accidental casualties? It shouldn't happen, right?" Xiaotong thought for a while and said with confusion.
Qi Yu explained: "Sudden weather changes are most likely to be accompanied by thunderstorms. In this case, if you launch a sneak attack, you may be struck by lightning."
So this is it!
It is indeed possible.
When a thunderstorm comes, everyone tries to hide as low as possible. How can they take the initiative to raise the altitude?
Moreover, this was flying at high altitude under a thunderstorm, so the probability of being hit was quite high.
Once it happens, it will be an irreversible tragedy.
However, the risk is well worth taking.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain something. In this world, how can there be a good thing that takes care of both ends and is willing to give up?
When necessary, one should have the courage to fight for one's life with heaven and earth.
If we are timid and undecided, not only will it not help the situation, but it will also delay the opportunity to fight.
I just feel sorry for my good soldiers.
Heartbroken, Qi Yu couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "You know you can't do it, but you do it deliberately. It's really out of necessity! I just hope that this battle will be successful, and don't waste the lives of my soldiers in vain."
