What is it? A hot air balloon. The principle behind it is very simple: a balloon made of whale skin, a rope with good toughness, and a large basket made of bamboo and rattan.
The copper stove in the bamboo basket ignited the whale oil, and a hot air balloon was born.
The deputy guards had already become proficient in operating in remote areas. Soon, more than twenty whale skin balloons soared into the sky, heading straight for the sky above Sun City.
Why did Ma Yue need to have a sufficient supply of fish oil? It was for this fire attack on the city. Without a large amount of fish oil, the fire wouldn't be very effective, right?
The effect is pretty good and the hot air balloon has a decent carrying capacity.
"Miracle!" It is said that primitive people are afraid of ghosts and gods. The grassland people defending the city watched more than twenty huge balls flying up from the ground opposite. Can humans fly into the sky?
Ping-pong-pong! A large number of fish oil cans were set on fire and smashed into the east side of Sun City. Ma Yue was satisfied with the balloon's carrying capacity. The fire was large enough to be meaningful in the war.
"Lü Fang, Guo Sheng, the infantry will begin the assault on the city."
The city gates were blocked by a large amount of stones and could not be opened by fire, so the only way to attack the city was by ladders.
"Attack!" The infantry led by Lu Fang and Guo Sheng began to attack the city with a large number of ladders.
Ma Yue hadn't expected this siege to go so smoothly. Several thousand infantrymen, relying on simple ladders, had taken over the city walls in one fell swoop.
I guess the grassland people in the city were frightened by the twenty or so hot air balloons. They lost their morale and most of the grassland people defending the city turned around and ran away.
When fighting a war, what we fight for is morale.
After removing the stones blocking the east gate, the Sea Tribe's army continued to rush into Sun City, and street fighting was inevitable.
Hot air balloons were still raging in the sky, dropping burning fish oil pots into every corner of Sun City. Sun City was in chaos.
Without donkeys, the grassland people lost the impact of donkey cavalry and were vulnerable to the well-organized Sea Tribe army. Warfare wasn't a contest of individual strength. Even if some grassland people put up a brave resistance, they couldn't withstand the Sea Tribe army's habitual attacks of three, five, or even a dozen men.
