Zhang Tian, who was happily enjoying himself, had no idea what punishment awaited him!
Fang Er called Liu Meng over.
Which balloon was Zhang Tian on?
Liu Meng pointed to the sky and casually sold out Zhang Tian with no psychological burden.
Just two cigars, it's more than enough for you to fly once. What about secrecy? It doesn't exist!
Let the three-wheeled vehicle drag the hot air balloon to chase after them, following the fleeing enemy troops!
Liu Meng's eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Er in disbelief, "Drag, drag and chase?"
Fang Er kicked him in the butt: "Hurry up, if something like this happens again next time, I'll hang you up with them!"
Heh heh, I know my mistake, I'll go arrange it!
Liu Meng quickly ran away. Why would he want to be hung up there? Better a dead comrade than himself.
And so, Zhang Tian was in a sorry state. The hot air balloon, which had been barely moving while tethered by a rope, was directly dragged by the three-wheeled vehicle below, chasing after the fleeing Turkic soldiers.
After arranging these matters, Fang Er called out again, "Wu Yong!"
I'm here!
Wu Yong quickly stepped forward.
Take the Fourth Regiment and clear the battlefield!
Yes, clearing the battlefield. Under the rapid fire of thirty cannons, the Dingxiang City before them no longer had the ability to resist.
Wu Yong led his men forward. To appease Fang Er, Liu Meng also volunteered to go with them.
After the two regiments had gone, Fang Er lit a cigar and approached the two mahjong tables.
Your Majesty, esteemed Dukes, are you satisfied with this fireworks display?
The few of them were still in shock and hadn't recovered. They had fired cannons from ships before.
But those exploded in the water, and they were nowhere near as impactful as this siege.
In just a blink of an eye, a city was gone!
Damn, this is f***ing awesome!
Yuchi Jingde slapped his thigh and jumped up.
Li Jing's expression was very conflicted.
With the advent of this weapon, he felt that his own proud military strategies seemed less important.
Under such absolute suppression, all strategies seemed redundant.
Li Shimin stroked his beard and stood up from his stool. No longer looking at the ruins, he faced Fang Er.
Tell me honestly, can the machines and craftsmen that Hou Junji stole produce these cannons!
Alright, this old guy was scared.
Fang Er thought for a moment and then said affirmatively, "Impossible! This gunpowder is the latest formula, and even I wouldn't dare to tamper with it easily.
Making this gunpowder is very dangerous; one wrong move could blow up the workshop.
So, I found Master Yuan Zhen and the others to help.
Only then did Li Shimin's heart, which had been in his throat, return to its normal place.
But he still glared at Fang Er and reprimanded him, "Next time you make something like this without informing me, your head will be forfeit!"
Fang Er:.......
Damn it, you guys tried the cannons yourselves!
But he couldn't openly argue back, so he could only respond with an "oh" to acknowledge Li Shimin's displeasure.
As Liu Meng and Wu Yong led the soldiers into Dingxiang City, stepping over the broken walls, the scene before them made even them, who considered themselves veterans, nearly vomit.
Damn, these cannons are too powerful!
Besides those killed by the explosions, there were only wounded soldiers with missing limbs.
Withdraw!
Ignoring the groans of the wounded soldiers, Liu Meng and Wu Yong directly issued the order to retreat.
Recalling their fallen comrades from the workshop that night, Wu Yong and Liu Meng didn't even allow their soldiers to deliver the final blow.
They were lucky to die like this!
The two returned to the formation with their soldiers.
Reporting to Your Majesty, Dingxiang City is no longer of any value to sweep. Except for those who escaped, everyone else is either wounded or dead!
Liu Meng stood beside Fang Er and reported to Li Shimin with cupped fists.
Issue the order, pursue!
Li Shimin slammed the table and stood up.
After Liu Meng went to relay the order, Li Shimin glared at Fang Er again, "Look at what you've done, a perfectly good city wasted like this!"
Fang Er was speechless. When did fighting too smoothly become a problem?
For a force of tens of thousands, Tie Lao Ba was the most comfortable.
The bombardment was so f***ing satisfying; a city gone with a wave of his hand. It was exhilarating!
As Liu Meng conveyed the pursuit order, the troops set off again.
With the hot air balloon guiding them from above and the tracks left by the fleeing soldiers' horses below, the pursuit was incredibly easy.
From Dingxiang City, traveling northwest for an hour, Fang Er, who was at the front, suddenly saw the pursuing three-wheeled vehicle dragging the hot air balloon towards them. He quickly used the walkie-talkie to alert the troops to be on guard.
The three-wheeled vehicle returning could only mean two things: either they encountered resistance, or the path ahead was impassable.
Indeed, after a while, the three-wheeled vehicle drove up to the pickup truck and stopped.
The soldier driving the vehicle jumped out and walked over to Fang Er.
Reporting to Marquis, this is Ma Yanhu from the First Company of the Third Regiment. There is a large ambush of Turkic cavalry thirty miles ahead!
An ambush? Did the fleeing Turkic soldiers encounter reinforcements?
How many men?
Fang Er asked.
Reporting to Marquis, you'll have to ask the regimental commander up there. He should have seen it clearly.
Fang Er had no choice but to use the walkie-talkie to ask Zhang Tian above.
Zhang Tian was shivering uncontrollably up there, from the cold!
At an altitude of two hundred meters, being dragged by the three-wheeled vehicle for over an hour, only he could truly describe the experience.
Dong, dong one, I, I am Flying Sky One, there are, are over thirty thousand enemy troops ahead, Flying, Flying Sky One, requesting to land, com, complete.
Fang Er:........
Alright, this guy was so cold he couldn't even speak properly.
Flying Sky One, this is Dong One, permission to land granted, complete!
After accepting Zhang Tian's landing request, Fang Er drove to find Li Shimin.
This guy was currently in an armored vehicle with Li Jing.
As for why he wasn't in the same vehicle as Fang Er, his words were that a city had just been lost, and he was afraid he couldn't help but beat the guy up.
Your Majesty, thirty miles ahead, there is a Turkic ambush of about thirty thousand men. Please make a decision!
Li Shimin held a cigar between his fingers and rested his arm on the car window, looking at Fang Er with displeasure.
Thirty thousand men, can three thousand Xuanjia Army take them down?
Fang Er was a little uncertain, but he still nodded, "They can!"
Six thousand Tianhuo Army, can they take them down?
Fang Er answered with certainty, "They can!"
Then, if the Xuanjia Army and the Tianhuo Army go together, can they allow me to smoke cigars while taking down these thirty thousand men?
Fang Er patted his chest, "I understand, Your Majesty. Take your time and enjoy."
