Returning to the courtyard where he lived, Zhao Hao changed into a tight-fitting outfit suitable for working, and then looked towards Wu Song.
"Brother Wu, go to the weapons workshop and pick out some wood, ropes, and cloth."
Upon hearing this, Wu Song hurriedly took a few guards with him.
One of the guards asked, "Sir, can you really rob the Shu army camp without using a single soldier?"
They all heard what Zhao Hao said to Xiao Danglu just now.
Similarly, they also felt quite incredible.
It sounds like a fantasy that you can rob the enemy camp without spending a single soldier.
If you don't even move a single soldier, you'll just have to light some incense and let the ghosts rob you.
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "You all think that this is impossible?"
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so guards hurriedly shook their heads and said, "No, we all know that the young master would not do anything without a purpose."
"But this is indeed beyond the imagination of my subordinates."
Zhao Hao nodded: "I'm afraid General Xiao also thinks so."
"However, you both said something right. Sir, I will not speak without a purpose."
"When the time comes, you will know it naturally."
Soon, Wusong returned with the materials.
Zhao Hao took Wusong and the other two with him and started making it.
Actually, there is nothing special about it, it’s just a Kongming lantern.
However, a normal Kongming lantern will continue to rise.
But the one produced by Zhao Hao is on a larger scale.
Moreover, the flame piled in the middle will spread to the outer circle within a certain period of time when the flame burns.
As it spreads, the bombs placed in the outer circle will be ignited.
Then, the thunder bomb caused the explosion.
He wanted to use the Kongming lantern to float over the Shu army camp.
By then, if nothing unexpected happens, the archers in the Shu army will definitely shoot it down.
After landing, the thunder bomb will also be ignited by the flames, causing continuous explosions.
If the Shu army did not shoot it down, the Kongming lantern he designed would burn out its own ropes and fall down on its own.
At the same time, the same scene of explosion occurred after landing.
There is only one key point in making this thing, and that is to control the flying distance of the Kongming lantern.
It is necessary to fly ten miles away to burn the rope and then land accurately inside the Shu army camp.
I started working in the afternoon and continued until midnight.
Finally, the first Kongming lantern was made.
The two of them immediately started experimenting in the yard.
The fire was lit and the Kongming lantern flew into the air with a rope tied underneath to prevent it from floating away.
Then Zhao Hao began to calculate the time to see how long he could float in the air.
After making several adjustments, Zhao Hao finally felt satisfied when daybreak came.
I have a more comprehensive understanding of the thickness of the rope.
Morning.
Zhao Hao asked Wu Song to go over and invited Xiao Danglu over.
Looking at the big guy in the yard, Xiao Danglu immediately asked in confusion.
"Little mouse, what have you made?"
Zhao Hao said, "Old General, I said yesterday that we were able to rob the Shu army camp without spending a single soldier, thanks to this thing!"
“This is a lamp that can fly into the air.”
"When there is an easterly wind, or a wind slightly to the east, we can place bombs all over this thing."
"It can be carried by the wind to the sky above the Shu army camp."
"When the time comes, it will automatically fall down because the rope is burning."
"Then, the thunder bomb inside will explode instantly."
"What do you think will happen if we release hundreds or thousands of them?"
When Xiao Danglu heard this, he took a breath of cold air.
"Little Mouse, are you sure you can control this thing to float above the Shu camp and automatically fall down?"
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he got to the point.
Yes, the control of time and distance is the key to success.
Zhao Hao smiled confidently and said, "Of course. Besides, even if there is a slight error, the Shu Camp is so big that it will not fall to other places!"
Xiao Danglu hurriedly said, "Let it go for a moment, let me take a look!"
Zhao Hao nodded immediately and asked Wusong to light the Kongming lantern.
As the flame burned fully, the Kongming lantern slowly flew up. Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief.
Where have they ever seen such a scene?
Xiao Danglu was surprised and said, "Little Mouse, if you make this lantern bigger, can it even carry people to fly into the sky?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "What the old general said is true, but it is easier to go up than to come down."
"So, don't try it with humans easily!"
This old man really has a sharp mind.
If someone could go up, bring the soldiers with them, float over the Shu camp, and throw air mines with their hands, the damage would definitely be greater.
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Xiao Danglu was obviously disappointed.
But he still nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "Okay, with this thing, I will definitely let the Shu army drink a big pot!"
He immediately said, "Come here, tell the workshop to make this flying lantern as quickly as possible."
"Do as much as you can within half a month!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask, "Old General, are you going to wait for the arrival of the Shu reinforcements before using this item?"
Xiao Danglu laughed and said, "Of course, when the reinforcements from Shu arrive, there will definitely be a lot of people."
"And their morale will surely rise again!"
"When the time comes, I will use this to blow up the Shu army camp, causing them to suffer heavy losses and directly dampening their morale. Wouldn't that be great?"
Zhao Hao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.
He is only responsible for making things, not for how they are used.
He just didn't care.
Xiao Danglu took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Boy, I never thought you could make such an incredible thing!"
"When you said yesterday that you could rob the Shu army camp without a single soldier, I didn't believe it at all!"
"I just thought that what you said was too unreliable."
"You have slapped me in the face with facts!"
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are too polite. Yesterday, I said something so mysterious, but you didn't get angry right away. You really gave me face."
After saying that, they both burst into laughter.
Over the next ten days, no major war broke out between the two sides.
Zhao Hao received news from his spy that another 100,000-strong army from Shu was on the way to Luoye City.
Including the current number of people, the total number will reach 150,000.
This news made his heart sink.
Although they were the ones defending the city and had the advantage.
However, the gap in military strength between the two sides is still too big.
General Xiao’s decision was indeed correct.
Once the reinforcements from Shu arrive, using the Kongming lanterns will surely cause greater casualties and dampen their morale.
