Chapter 1241 The Center Blossoms

After the siege, the Xia army has not launched a real attack.

Just occasionally fired at the top of the wall to frighten the Spaniards in the city.After being reminded that they were now at war, the infantry did not move out once.

At first, the Spaniards were so terrified of the explosive shells that they didn't even dare to stand on the top of the city.

But after a long time, it was discovered that Xia Jun was not attacking, and the Spaniard's mentality stabilized.

"We have a strong castle, and the food and drinking water in the city are endless. It is absolutely impossible for the Xia army to break in."

Asura Torres let go of his worries and became triumphant again, proclaiming his confidence to everyone.

The rest of the Spaniards felt the same way.

Since they began to explore the world, no enemy they have faced can break through their defensive castles.

This is God's masterpiece, and it cannot be broken by any worldly weapon.

Since there is no problem with food and drinking water in the city, it is enough to consume it.

They didn't believe that Xia Jun had come all the way and would be able to spend it.If the stalemate continues, there is only one way to withdraw.

What is the Second Marine Division doing?

They're digging the earth and building a tower.

A very high platform.

The height is like a hill, far exceeding the Spanish royal city.

The top of the high platform also needs to be very flat.

Of course, the purpose of building such a high platform is not to set up an altar to cast spells, but for Xia Jun to adopt an unprecedented tactic.

Building such a high platform is very time-consuming and laborious.

For this reason, the ancient No. [-] Middle School even mobilized tens of thousands of local Luzon Han people to dig and accumulate soil day and night.

Even so, the project lasted for more than a month.

In the end, the high platform finally reached the desired height, which can be seen even from a distance in the Spanish royal city.

But Asura Torres was completely confused about what Xia Jun did.

"Diego, what do you think these Xia people want to do?"

Diego Franco, like him, was full of question marks.

"If Xia's army wants to build a high platform and suppress us from a high position, it should be built near the castle. Now that the distance is so far, the most powerful artillery can't hit us."

Xia Jun's high platform was built seven or eight miles away from the Spanish King City.

Even Xia Jun's heavy artillery, if they wanted to attack the city at this distance, their power would be greatly attenuated.

The Spaniards in the city pointed at the high platform, but none of them could guess its purpose.

If it took a day or two, and a long time later, the high platform stood still, but nothing happened, and the Spaniards in the city inevitably relaxed again.

They didn't even know that Xia Jun was making intensive preparations to attack the city.

On this day, all the preparations were finally completed.

On the back of the high platform, where the Spaniards could not see, many soldiers of the Xia Army climbed onto the high platform carrying some strange tools on their shoulders.

"Li Wangdong, are you sure? This is not a joke. Many lives are in your hands."

Facing the inquiry from the Second Ancient High School, a special soldier seemed confident.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry, I have personally tried this thing. I flew down from the top of Mount Tai without any injuries, let alone such a height. And our special forces have already regarded this as daily training , absolutely no problem."

In the vision of Gu No. [-] Middle School, the soldiers of the special forces are busy assembling various tools.

Soon, many scattered iron bars, wooden sticks, and bamboo poles were combined together to form a frame that resembled a pair of large wings.

Then the special forces pulled off the canvas and covered it tightly on the shelf.

After all the work was completed, a pair of wings with a spread of more than five meters was born.

This thing is very similar to the arrowhead of a bow and arrow. Although it is not so sharp, it has a very round and thin texture.

The two wings spread out are very similar to the wings of a bird, as if it may fly away at any time.

Under the two wings, there are two shelves one in front and one in the back, which are temporarily useless.

Between the two shelves, there is a fixed belt, which looks weird as a whole.

One, two, three...

In the end, the high platform went up and down, and the assembly of more than one hundred frames was completed.

Seeing the spectacular scene, Zhu Jin geared up.

"This is the first time that a fixed hang glider has been put into actual combat. I hope it can be successful immediately. Let the Spaniards see what it means to be a flying fairy!"

Yes.

The secret weapon Xia Jun has been preparing for more than a month is the fixed hang glider.

With the existence of Zuo Menggeng, aerodynamics has long been recognized by the Xia people.In particular, special forces units have started research on related aspects a long time ago.

When Meng Lianggu attacked the White Lotus Sect, Li Wangdong had already started thinking about the fixed hang glider.

For this kind of thing that can take people into the sky, Li Wangdong couldn't extricate himself during his obsession.Although I was reprimanded many times by my boss, I still never forget it.

Later, this matter was known by Zuo Menggeng. Not only did he not punish him, he also encouraged Li Wangdong and provided a lot of theoretical and design help.

Li Wangdong was greatly encouraged, and after several years of pondering, he finally designed a fixed wing that could really glide in the sky.

When he flew down from a high place with this kind of thing for the first time, crossed several miles of space, and finally landed smoothly, everyone was dumbfounded.

Then the military immediately realized the value of this kind of thing.

After all, being able to overcome terrain obstacles can make some dangerous passes completely useless.

This time Xia Jun was blocked in front of the Spanish royal city, and the ground attack was blocked. Zhu Jin combined the blueprint of the castle and thought of a way to attack from the air.

The Spanish royal city covers a very large area, and it is by no means comparable to the small castles I have encountered before.

But precisely because of its size, there is a fatal weakness.

That is, the defense against the center is not comprehensive enough.

In other words, if the Xia army could suddenly appear in the central area of ​​the Spanish royal city, the firepower on the surrounding walls would not be able to attack it.

The key question is, how to break through the walls and defenses to get here?
Fixed hang glider has become the best choice.

Of course, this method cannot be used during the day.

In broad daylight, the Spaniards had time to prepare even if they would be frightened in their eyes.

At night, it becomes the best cover.

Everything seemed peaceful that night.

Only in the Xia army camps from east to west, from north to south, were there many blazing fires lit up.

Even on the sea to the west of Spain's royal city, Xia Jun's warships also lit torches.

When viewed from a high altitude, these torches burning in four directions, if connected by string, would form a crosshair.

The intersection point of the crosshairs is actually in the very center of the Spanish royal city.

This is the only positioning method in this era.

But for the brave Xia Army special forces, it is completely enough.

"set off!"

Li Wangdong took the lead, and was the first to push the fixed hang glider, run at the fastest speed, and then jumped out of the high platform.

He gripped the front shelf with both hands, and the belt was fastened around his waist.

After rushing out of the high platform and feeling the buoyancy, he quickly raised his legs and put them on the shelf behind him.

At the same time, with the help of air buoyancy, the hang glider began to climb up little by little, and flew quietly towards the Spanish King City.

Behind him, more than a hundred fixed hang gliders followed one after another, without causing any waves in the dark night.
