Staring attentively at Sun Wanshi, who was learning how to play with the hot air balloon from the little eunuch, Li Gang didn't even dare to blink, just for fear of missing the slightest detail.

Although Zhao Huan, who was standing next to Li Gang, looked indifferent and had experience from his previous life to refer to, Zhao Huan was still panicking in his heart——

Although the hot air balloon that the queen had led the harem to sew had been made, and every detail that Zhao Huan could think of had been done, such as the silk surface being brushed with tung oil to prevent fire and air leakage, Zhao Huan

I was still very panicked.

After all, this is the first test flight of this thing. It is normal for it to fly well and it seems to be normal for something to go wrong...

Time passed little by little, and while Li Gang was slightly nervous and Zhao Huan looked at him with a look of indifference but a hint of expectation, Sun Wanshi bowed to Zhao Huan calmly and then put the sandbags in the bamboo basket into bags.

was thrown out.

The hot air balloon finally started to shake gently, then shook violently, and finally slowly rose upwards in front of everyone's surprised eyes. Under the hot air balloon, a little eunuch guarding the rope carefully recorded the rope.

The red dots on his body were still muttering: "One foot, two feet, three feet, ten feet, eleven feet, thirty feet..."

The hot air balloon flew higher and higher, and the rope that was originally coiled on the ground and was higher than a person was also brought into the air in circles, and then slowly straightened into a slightly curved straight line. Look like that, if it weren't for the ground

The rope is not long enough. Is the hot air balloon still able to fly upward?

The little eunuch who had just counted the ropes and had a look of horror on his face suddenly exclaimed in front of everyone's slightly dull eyes: "Fifty feet! Official! It's a full fifty feet!"

Zhao Huan, who was secretly nervous just now, now had a calm expression on his face. Hearing this, he just nodded calmly and ordered: "Lower the hot air balloon slowly."

However, Li Gang was not as calm as Zhao Huan. Just as the young eunuchs were pulling down the hot air balloon with a winch, Li Gang was almost too excited to control himself: "Let me tell you, if we can build more hot air balloons, it will be a complete success."

Yan Zonghan is not enough to filter!"

"You don't object to my personal expedition now?"

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "In the court before, Li Qing was so silent that it was Jin Lai who objected to my personal recruitment of surname Wan?"

When Zhao Huan said this, Li Gang couldn't help but blush, bowed slightly and said: "At that time, the officials did not bring out such good things as hot air balloons..."

Do you still blame me for co-authoring it?

Zhao Huan didn't take it seriously at all, but after the hot air balloon landed firmly on the ground, he looked at Sun Wanshi with a smile: "How do you feel? Is it possible to stand firmly on it?"

Originally, he stood up with the mentality of risking his life to avenge the king. After boarding the hot air balloon, he experienced the feeling of being unable to touch the ground for a long time in mid-air, and was blown by the cold wind for a while. At this time, Sun Wanshi only felt

My legs are a little soft.

After barely calming down, Sun Wanshi bowed to Zhao Huan and replied: "Back to the official house, the wind is very strong above. It is not easy to stand firm. However, if some heavy objects can be added to this bamboo basket, it should be possible."

Will it be more stable?

Also, this object can see very far away, do you think it can be used to detect the enemy's situation regardless of whether it is stable or not?"

Zhao Huan nodded with a smile, but did not directly answer Sun Wanshi's question. Instead, he directly ordered Wu Xin: "Sun Qing test-flyed this thing for me, which is also a meritorious service. I will reward you with thousands of dollars and promote you to a martial arts master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wanshi knelt down on one knee and worshiped: "The official is so kind, and I will die in repayment!"

Even Zhao Huan's other guards looked at Sun Wanshi with envy -

The reward of one thousand guan is already very high, and the official family actually gave it back to the martial artist!

That is an official position of the seventh rank! No matter how low the status of a military general is, a martial arts master is still an official, and he can be regarded as having one foot on the threshold of an official career!

Zhao Huan obviously hasn't finished his words yet: "Li Qing will go back and assign some capable people to Sun Qing, so that they can master how to operate the hot air balloon as soon as possible. This is not a good thing that can only be sent to the sky, but it can also be sent to the sky."

Good stuff from the West.

In addition, Sun Qing remembers to go back and find some friends in Wu Xin, and buy some more pigs and sheep to test how high the hot air balloon can fly, and then change people to go up after the results are known."

When he just asked who dared to go up for a test flight, no matter who dared to jump out of the crab first to show his loyalty, Zhao Huan didn't mind letting him eat a few more bites. After all, his ancestors said that it would take a thousand gold horses to buy bones before someone would offer them.

A true thousand-mile horse.

And Sun Wanshi not only jumped out, but also pointed out that hot air balloons can be used to detect the enemy's situation. This is not just a matter of loyalty——

This person is not just a horse bone, but also has the value of cultivation!

So Zhao Huan didn't mind giving him one more chance.

…

Wanyan Zongwang finally decided to run away.

It's not that Wu Xiaomin has no ability, nor is it that Wu Xiaomin is unwilling to spend money to buy him, but the killings on the bank of Dongshui River were too heavy before, and he did too many immoral things like digging up coffins and dumping corpses. Now Wu Xiaomin simply can't recruit people who are willing to follow the big guys.

The people who got mixed up in the Kingdom of Jin.

Even if it comes to the scourge of the Song Dynasty's strong men and local ruffians, these people are not willing to——

If you get mixed up with Jin Bing, you will be pointed out wherever you go, will you ever be a human being again in this life?

In fact, not only the people of the Ming Dynasty knew how to save face, but even the powerful people and those ruffians of the Song Dynasty also wanted to save face.

After all, Chairman Wang, who wrote Yuanyuan's diary and was destined to be infamy for eternity, clearly has the kind of face that cannot be destroyed by nuclear bombs. She even dares to clamor for Academician Zhang to apologize to her. The extremely shameless spirit is extremely rare, and

Is it possible for everyone to have it?

It is precisely because of this that Wu Xiaomin did not recruit many people around Bianjing at all, and it was impossible to make up for the losses of the signing army.

However, it could not make up for the loss of the signing army. With the remaining signing army of less than 20,000, Wu Xiaomin did not have the courage to lead them to plunder outside Bianjing City.

In other words, it cannot be said that Wu Xiaomin has no courage, but Wu Xiaomin was criticized every time he took the remaining Song army to rob. It seemed that all the movements of the Song army had been mastered by the Song army, which made Wu Xiaomin and Wanyan Zongwang think that the Song army had no courage.

There are spies from the Song Dynasty among the army.

In order to rule out the issue of whether there was a traitor among the signing troops, Wu Xiaomin even abandoned the originally planned robbery plan and instead used the method of throwing shoes to determine the direction.

However, as more and more King Qin's army arrived in Bianjing, Zhong Shidao had more and more troops under his command. Coupled with the double reconnaissance of telescopes and hot-air balloons, the final result was that as long as Wu Xiaomin dared to carry the signature

When the army comes out, they will never be able to escape the encirclement and interception of Zhongshi Dao's troops.

Unless Wu Xiaomin comes out with the main army.

But how could Wanyan Zongwang be assured that Wu Xiaomin would lead the main army? Unless his name was Wanyan Xiaomin, then Wanyan Zongwang would be assured.

It's a pity that his surname is not Wanyan, so he can't lead the regular army, he can only lead the signing army, and the only outcome of leading the signing army is to be chased and intercepted by Zhongshi Dao.

It's almost an infinite loop.

As a result, Wu Xiaomin not only failed to plunder anything, but suffered heavy losses again and again. The signature army that originally only had 20,000 soldiers now only has 5,000 left, which is even less than the regular army...

It is precisely because of this that Wanyan Zongwang gradually lost his patience.

In other words, Wanyan Zongwang, who had gained almost nothing but suffered heavy losses under Bianjing City, was gradually losing confidence.

In particular, the Beijing view outside Xuanze Gate has slowly taken shape.

As a scholar who has read many Chinese books, Wanyan Zongwang still knows very well what is going on in Jingguan, even though he has not yet learned the three-part human style.

Gathering enemy corpses and sealing the soil into mounds! This is the highest form of showing off martial arts in the Han Dynasty since ancient times!

In the history of the Central Plains dynasty, any emperor who dared to build a capital was not a good person!

Wanyan Zongwang, who was secretly frightened, did not try to destroy Jingguan.

But just like Wu Xiaomin would be brutally beaten when he went to plunder, the situation when Wanyan Zongwang personally led his troops to destroy Jingguan was also very, very unoptimistic——

There was still a long way to go before the capital, and the people of Song Dynasty had already filled the road with mines in their palms. As soon as the cavalry passed by, they were guaranteed to be blown up and turned upside down!

Wanyan Zongwang didn't know how many palm mines the Song people had planted. Anyway, after trying out two thousand troops, they didn't get any results.

It seems that they have buried the entire outside of Bianjing City? Did they not have to spend money to bury these things?

Wanyan Zongwang even speculated maliciously: If he retreats, how will they take out this thing? Are they not afraid of blowing up their own people? Or is their puppy emperor planning to let the prisoners on death row clear a way?

Just like now, as long as I can completely ignore the casualties and charge forward regardless, I can probably break through a path.

However, Wanyan Zongwang now has only about 15,000 regular troops left in his hands. Among them, there are more than 5,000 iron pagodas that cannot be lost in any case. If he rushes through with casualties, he will be able to survive in the end.

How much is left? Is it enough to destroy Jingguan?

"Let's go to Taiyuan."

Turning his head to look at Bianjing City in the distance, Wanyan Zongwang finally gave the order to "turn in" helplessly.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't dare to gamble, because if he lost the bet, Wanyan Zonghan would definitely not spare him.

Instead of staying under the city of Bianjing, it would be better to lead troops to Taiyuan, as Wu Xiaomin said, and join forces with Wanyan Zonghan before making a fuss.

…

Zhao Huan was a little confused. Although he knew that He Ji, the commander of the Imperial City Division, could not lie to him, Zhao Huan still couldn't help but confirm again and again: "Wan is going to run away?"

After receiving He Ji's affirmative answer, Zhao Huan suddenly became extremely angry: "Oh, he comes when he wants, and leaves when he wants? What does he think of my Bianjing City? He comes and goes, he

Do you think this is walking through the city gate?"
