Another letter from the prince?
Liao Qun took the envelope and opened it, only to find that there was not a letter inside, but a folded map!
He looked at Zhou Tie in confusion, and when he saw him nod, he unfolded it on the table and examined it carefully.
Zhou Tie said: "This map was drawn by the prince, and a detailed battle plan is planned on it."
“I wonder if this picture is accurate?”
After a while, Liao Qun looked up and said, "This map is indeed accurately drawn, but...what is the ball drawn here? It's just..."
He wanted to say he didn't know what it meant, but then he remembered that it was the prince who painted it, so he shut his mouth in time.
Zhou Tie smiled and said, "Since the map is accurate, it will be easy. The sphere drawn on the map is the key to breaking the deadlock!"
"According to what the prince has in mind, in simple terms, the general will lead the army to push forward and force the enemy into the main fortress, while we will drop kerosene from the sky to burn the fortress and accomplish our goal in one fell swoop!"
Liao Qun was stunned and blinked several times before he came to his senses.
He sneered, "What did you say? Dropping kerosene from the sky and you guys fly up? That's ridiculous!"
"The sphere drawn in the picture is the flying object." Zhou Tie vowed.
Liao Qun raised his head and stared at Zhou Tie in disbelief. He didn't look like he was lying at all.
Hesitantly said: "Do you know what you are saying? If you dare to bully in the military camp..."
Zhou Tie interrupted him and said, "I wanted to wait until I had a good rest before telling the general. Since the general doesn't trust us, why don't I go back and have someone bring the things to the general for inspection?"
Liao Qun's body trembled. Even though Zhou Tie said it with certainty, he still couldn't believe it. After all, being able to fly was too outrageous.
If the map showed a kite, he could accept it, but how could a ball fly? Could it be a round kite?
Thinking of this, Liao Qun stretched out his hand and said, "Okay! Go ahead, I want to see if you are lying or not!"
Half an hour later, when the Taoyuan County troops brought the hot air balloon there.
Wei Xiaohong had also come over to watch the fun.
Liao Qun circled the hot air balloon for several times in silence.
At this moment, it has not been lit and is in a deflated state, with a broken wicker basket and a pile of leather.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it can fly.
Without waiting for him to ask, Zhou Tie said, "This thing is called a hot air balloon. Once it is adjusted and ignited, it can rise into the sky and can also adjust its direction in the sky. It can be used to attack the enemy by surprise."
Liao Qun raised his chin and said, "Light it up and let me see."
As soon as Zhou Tie gave an order, someone came forward and started adjusting the ignition.
As the flames continued to rise and fall, the hot air balloon slowly lifted off the ground under the shocked gazes of Wei Xiaohong, Liao Qun and the surrounding soldiers.
It flew! It can actually fly!
Wei Xiaohong screamed, "Oh my God! It really flew! It's amazing! It's amazing!"
“This…this…this…”
Liao Qun's pupils also trembled and his teeth chattered.
I have lived for several decades, and today I really saw a "good omen"!
When the hot air balloon had already flown half a person's height, Liao Qun was suddenly startled and shouted, "Come down quickly! You can't go up any further!"
Liao Qun finally breathed a sigh of relief as the hot air balloon slowly descended to the ground.
Zhou Tie asked curiously, "Why did the general call for a halt?"
"There may be spies in this city, we must not let anyone know!" Liao Qun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he circled around the hot air balloon again, exclaiming in admiration: "Amazing, really incomparably amazing! I have been fighting for half my life, if I had this magical item, would I still be defeated?"
Zhou Tie smiled and said, "Then... General, are we still leaving?"
“No, no, no! I’m not leaving! I’m not leaving!” Liao Qun quickly looked at Zhou Tie, with a flattering look on his face: “You should have told me earlier that the prince has such a magical soldier. It’s my fault that I’m shortsighted. Don’t be offended, brother Zhou Tie. I will agree to any request you have in the future!”
"I don't have any requests, I just hope to finish this battle and go home as soon as possible."
"Okay! Everything is okay!" Liao Qun swallowed his saliva, took out the map drawn by the prince from his sleeve, and looked at it carefully again.
No one urged him, and after a long while, Liao Qun finally sighed, "This method is feasible! It is absolutely feasible. I didn't expect that the prince is such a genius that he can actually plan and strategize."
"Brother Zhou Tie, you guys stay here for now. If you need training, you can train in my camp at night."
"We will go out when the time is right! This time... we must teach the natives a painful lesson!"
Zhou Tie nodded: "This matter still requires some cooperation from the general. It is difficult to tell the direction when operating at night. We need to prepare some more high platforms at the departure point of the hot air balloon to serve as lighthouses to guide the direction."
"Okay! Okay, let's sit down and talk slowly..."
......
After a few days of rest, Zhou Tie and Liao Qun have almost gotten used to each other.
The two discussed tactics and made more detailed adjustments based on the environment and Liao Qun's experience.
As the two of them got along, Liao Qun actually discovered that Zhou Tie was exceptionally professional.
When it comes to the art of war, he is very knowledgeable and not inferior to me at all! And looking at his hands, his martial arts skills are definitely not bad either.
This gave rise to a certain amount of admiration in my heart.
Zhou Tie also had a high opinion of Liao Qun. He was straightforward and always put the overall situation first. The communication between them could be said to be extremely smooth!
The people below also fully adapted to the environment of Yishun through a short period of training.
We also had a general understanding of the surrounding terrain and topography to avoid any problems when we officially joined the war.
.....
It was a sunny day with only a light breeze.
This is the calm before the war.
The army has been assembled, with a total of 16,000 people ready for battle.
Liao Qun was riding in front, and Zhou Tie was beside him.
Liao Qun said: "Brother Zhou Tie, Yishun is made up of more than ten tribes in the mountains. The number we know is about eight or nine thousand. But...in fact, it should be far more than that, and they live in scattered places and it is difficult for them to form groups."
"We call this largest fortress Yongyuan Fort. The terrain is complex. If we fight slowly, it may take two days to drive most of the people into Yongyuan Fort. After the yin hour tonight, send one person to investigate from above. If there is any news, we can take large-scale action."
Zhou Tie took out a few tubes from his arms, handed them to him and said, "No need to be so troublesome."
"Give it to your capable men. When the time comes, use a tinder to light the thread ends below, and it will send a signal to the sky. Remember to use it with the red end facing the sky."
"This is...?"
"This is the latest communication tool developed in the capital. The general has not been in the capital for a long time, so it is normal that he does not know about it."
Liao Qun took the signal fireworks and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
He sighed, "Times have changed. Alas, I don't understand how the war is being fought now."
Zhou Tie said with a smile: "Yes, there are many new things in the capital. If the general has time, I can personally accompany the general to visit them."
Liao Qun laughed: "Okay! Let's talk after the fight."
"Set off!!"
