Hot Air balloon Fire Attack, Army Leaving the City
Soon, night fell.
Hundreds of hot air balloons slowly flew into the air in Jin Ling City.
Each hot air balloon was painted into the shape of various monsters.
The hot air balloon soared into the sky at any time. From below, it looked like monsters flying in the sky.
Liu Yi, who had seen countless hot air balloons before, was still fine. The soldiers in Jin Ling City, even though they had been given strict orders, were still restless. Many people were afraid when they saw these " monsters " in the sky.
Although the citizens in the city were under martial law, almost all the houses in this era had courtyards. The citizens could also see the 'monsters' in the sky. The restlessness in the city was difficult to suppress.
Of course, Liu Yi didn't care about the people in Jin Ling City.
On the city wall of Jin Ling City, Liu Yi looked up at the sky. He was still a little worried.
Liu Yi had been preparing the hot air balloon when he first entered Hu Province. He had already asked Wei Yixiao to be in charge of the experiment and manufacturing of the man-carrying hot air balloon. In order to experiment with the hot air balloon, dozens of Ming Cult members had already died or been injured.
Although Wei Yixiao said that it was no problem, it was the first time he had controlled a hot air balloon on such a large scale. Liu Yi was not too sure if he could succeed.
As the hot air balloons flew high, several of the hundreds of hot air balloons had already fallen down. The Ming Cult members who were controlling the hot air balloons fell to the ground and died, causing Liu Yi to frown.
"This is what Wei Yixiao said!”Liu Yi said unhappily.
"Cult Master, this is the first time this hot air balloon is being used in battle. In addition, those craftsmen might not be familiar with it, so it's inevitable that there will be mistakes!”Xu Da couldn't help but say,"The Bat King even personally led his troops to fly high into the sky. It can be seen that the Bat King has indeed done his best!"”
Liu Yi did not blame Wei Yixiao anymore after Xu Da persuaded him.
Among the higher-ups of the Ming Cult, Yang Xiao was arranged by Liu Yi to be a civil servant who took care of internal affairs. After all, he had some talent in this aspect.
The White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng was assigned by Liu Yi to be in charge of the rebel army in Jiangnan. He led the Five Rogues to support the rebel army in the south. After all, Yin Tianzheng was the most familiar with the south, and the Five Rogues used to fan the flames everywhere and support the rebellion.
Only Wei Yixiao was left by Liu Yi as a confidant, responsible for intelligence and confidential matters.
As for the Ming Cult's 150,000-strong army, it was completely under Liu Yi's control. Moreover, he had promoted Xu Da, Lan Yu, and the others to assist him.
In terms of position in the Ming Cult, White-Browed Eagle King, Five Loose Cultivators, and the others were of higher status. However, in terms of importance, they were not as important as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
Although Liu Yi did not put these Ming Cult elders in an important position, he did not blame them.
At this moment, hundreds of hot air balloons were flying in the air, gradually flying out of Jin Ling city and slowly floating towards Yuan Meng's army.
Under the moonlight, it looked like hundreds of monsters spitting flames were floating in the air.
In Yuan Meng's army, the Seventh Prince and the others were still discussing the strategy of attacking the city the next morning. They were soon alarmed by the commotion in the army and looked at the sky with surprise and disbelief like the ordinary soldiers.
"What kind of monster is this?" Seventh Wangye muttered.
"No, this is not a monster. At least it's not a living thing. I can see someone controlling it!”At this moment, a Revered Elder Yuan Meng suddenly said.
"Someone is controlling it?" Seventh Wangye couldn't help but look up into the sky. However, the hot air balloon was flying extremely high, and he couldn't see anything clearly with his eyesight.
However, the expert could see it clearly. After observing for a while, the expert suddenly said in surprise," Not good, they have a lot of kerosene on that 'monster'…"
" Oil..." The Seventh Prince was shocked. Even those who didn't understand military affairs understood the function of oil. But could they resist it?
The 300,000-strong army surrounded Jin Ling City, which wasn't too far away. At this moment, hundreds of hot air balloons were almost floating above the Yuan army.
Before Seventh Wangye could order his men to make preparations, jars of kerosene had already begun to fall from the sky.
More importantly, most of the kerosene was thrown towards the Yuan Army's grain pile.
The speed at which the kerosene was thrown from the sky was so fast that before the Yuan army could prepare, thousands of fires were ignited.
In just a moment, the continuous army tents and the piled up rations were all set ablaze.
With kerosene as fuel, the fire spread rapidly.
Yuan Jun had already started to put out the fire, but he was more terrified.
" The monsters in the sky are spitting fire. This is the punishment of heaven…"
" The monster is spitting fire. Run…"
"Longevity Heaven has abandoned us…"
In their fear, it was inevitable that some people would say something without thinking.
When fear spread, people would flee in all directions.
The fire was just a catalyst. If Yuan Jun could deal with it calmly, even if he suffered some losses, it would not be too great. However, how many people could put out the fire with all their strength when they were in fear?
"The time has come. Open the city gates and kill our way out!”Liu Yi shouted from the top of the city wall.
Following Liu Yi's order, the Ming Cult's army, which had long been prepared, charged out from the four gates.
In their panic, it was difficult to organize an effective resistance when they were suddenly attacked by the enemy. Especially now, when even the higher-ups of Yuan Meng were mostly frightened by the 'monsters', it was even easier for the Ming Cult army to attack.
The Ming Cult's army had all practiced the Military Body Fist and were more elite than the Yuan Meng army. Now that the Yuan army was in chaos, the result was self-evident.
The night of fighting only ended the next morning.
However, Liu Yi didn't have time to check the results of the battle. Instead, he chased after the commander of the Yuan Army, the Seventh Prince, alone.
The Seventh Prince was a member of the royal family. He held a high position and was the commander of the army. Although he was surrounded by fire and chased by the Ming Cult army, he was still safe and sound.
In a valley, Liu Yi found the Seventh Prince, who was resting. At this moment, he had less than ten thousand soldiers with him. They were all in a sorry state, and many of them had even abandoned their helmets and armor.
However, there were still more than ten warriors with sharp eyes around the Seventh Prince, protecting him layer by layer.
These people belonged to Yuan Meng, and they weren't martial artists recruited by Yuan Meng's imperial court. They were selected from the Mongolians and nurtured from a young age.
"13 people, they should be the legendary 13 Mongolian Wings!”
The 13 Mongolian Wings were the strongest 13-man team apart from the military when the Mongolians swept across the world. They had outstanding military achievements. It was said that the last imperial guard of the Great Song was killed by these 13 people.
After the Mongolia took over the Central Plains, the 13 Wings did not disband. Instead, they were passed down from generation to generation. The current 13 Wings might not be as strong as the generation when Yuan Meng founded the country, but Liu Yi could not help but exclaim as he sized up the 13 people.
These thirteen people were all Martial Arts Grandmasters. Moreover, the thirteen of them could vaguely form a formation, and their auras fused into one.
"Could it be that these 13 wings are the power that the Yuan Meng Imperial Family relies on the most?”Liu Yi could not help but guess.
