Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 562 Air Force Falls
in the sky.

Zheng Sen held a [-]-style rifle and was shooting at the slave camp below.

In addition to Zheng Sen, there were also the driver and two scouts in the gondola of Speed ​​[-], including Xu Yingwei's younger brother Xu Yinglong.

A shot was fired, and a Jian slave on the ground fell to the ground.

But to Zheng Sen's embarrassment, he seemed to be aiming at Jian Nu next to him.

Thanks to the fact that there are slaves everywhere in the barracks below, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing if the shot missed.

"Mother thief, this [-]-style rifle is really easy to use." Zheng Sen laughed awkwardly, "Now the height is at least two hundred steps, and it can still hit and kill Jiannu."

Xu Yinglong didn't expose Zheng Sen, but just said with a smile: "Zheng Gejian, do you think Dorgon will be in this barracks?"

"It can only be said that there is a possibility." Zheng Sen said while loading ammunition into the gun chamber, "The secret investigation department's intelligence said that Dorgon did come to Liaodong, but it did not say that he followed the army to Gaizhouwei. "

"Zheng Gejian, captain, look quickly." Another scout suddenly called out.

"A group of Jian slaves came out of the big tent below, and one of them was wearing mink fur."

"Let me see, where is it?" Xu Yinglong raised his binoculars, and soon found Jianu in sable fur, who was fleeing hurriedly with the help of two other Jiannu, he should be a big man.

Immediately Xu Yinglong raised his rifle and aimed at the big man Jiannu.

A moment later, Xu Yinglong pulled the trigger, and a gunshot sounded in his ear.

Looking closely, he saw that another Jiannu who was following the great Jiannu had fallen to the ground.

The distance of two hundred steps is still a bit far, and Speed ​​One is not stable at high altitude, so the shot just now failed to hit the target.

"Admonish Zheng, why not go down a little bit?"

Xu Yinglong has always boasted that his marksmanship is excellent, so he couldn't help it.

"No, Jianu also has flintlock guns." Zheng Sen said decisively, "The height is low, and we will be in danger."

While speaking, two groups of dazzling red lights burst into the ground suddenly, and then there was a crackling sound from the floor of the hanging basket, like dense raindrops hitting the top of a banana leaf.

There was also a popping sound from the hull of the boat above.

There are already many small holes on the silk boat body.

But fortunately, these small holes have little effect on the speeding car.

"Fuck!" Zheng Sen burst out with a foul language learned from Chongzhen.

"Gou Jiannu has learned how to be smart. He actually thought of setting up the tiger squatting cannon to fight. Go fast and increase the height!"

The scholar in charge of controlling the speeding car shook the handle vigorously, and the wooden propeller at the end of the gondola began to whirr, urging the speeding car to fly forward.

At the same time, the fire in the stove was getting hotter.

More hot air gushed into the hull of the speeding car.

Immediately afterwards, the hull of the boat that had stopped rose again.

However, Jiannu's tiger squatting cannons are too many, there are hundreds of them!
The tiger squatting cannon was originally inaccurate, and it was loaded with shotgun, so it was even more inaccurate when it was erected, but it couldn't support too many, so it formed a huge screen of shotgun, which was still very scary.

Fortunately, the bottom plate of the hanging basket has certain defensive capabilities.

In addition, the rise is also timely, so the problem is not big.

However, another speeder seems to be in trouble.

"Remonstrance Zheng, the body of Speed ​​2 seems to be broken!" The driver suddenly shouted.

Zheng Sen looked back anxiously when he heard the words, and saw a big hole in the rear of Speed ​​2, which was probably broken by the shotgun shot of the Jiannuhu squatting gun, and a lot of heat was bubbling out.

The pilot of Speed ​​2 is desperately increasing the fire.

But it was useless, Speed ​​2 was still slowly falling to the ground.

At this speed, it will land forcibly on the ground in at most 5 minutes.

But it is impossible for Speed ​​2 to fly back to Gaizhou in this time.

"Follow!" Zheng Sen ordered with a dark face, "Follow Speed ​​2."

The crockpots were broken without breaking away from the well, and the general would inevitably die in battle. Although Zheng Sen was mentally prepared, he still felt a little hard to accept when Speed ​​2 was shot down by Jiannu.

……

Dorgon was fleeing in embarrassment with the support of Cao Eryu and Hou Fangyu, when he suddenly heard cheers behind him.

Immediately Hou Fangyu also cheered: "Master, it fell, Minggou's Kongming lantern fell, no, it was shot down by our tiger squat cannon."

"Really?" Dorgon turned around and looked back, and sure enough, he saw a Kongming lantern of the Ming army slowly falling down.

Cao Eryu estimated it, and said excitedly: "According to the speed of the fall, I will definitely not be able to return to Gaizhou City. If there is no accident, it should land in a wild place not far ahead."

Hearing this, Dorgon immediately became excited.

"Preach the decree." Dorgon said excitedly, "Let the Eight Banners Mongolia catch up! Take this Kongming Lantern back to me!"

Since the day when he was bombed by the Ming Army Kongming Lantern on the south bank of the Hun River two months ago, Dorgon hated this thing so much, and at the same time coveted it, dreaming of owning the same Kongming Lantern.

It's a pity that after asking all the ministers of the Manchu and Han Dynasties, none of them could make it.

But today, the Qing Dynasty finally had the opportunity to capture a large Kongming lantern.

As long as there is one Kongming lantern, the Qing Dynasty can make more Kongming lanterns.

"Hey!" Cao Eryu knelt down and slapped a thousand, and hurriedly passed the decree to the Eight Banners Mongolia.

Soon, thousands of Mongolians riding the Eight Banners galloped out of the formation, and chased in the direction where the Kongming Lantern descended.

……

Speed ​​2 ended up in the wild.

Because of the serious air leakage, the huge body also collapsed.

Speed ​​1 followed and landed nearby, trying to rescue.

"You guys hurry up, hurry up!" Zheng Sen shouted.

However, the scholar on Speed ​​No. 2 said: "Zheng Gejian, Speed ​​No. 1 cannot take the four of us away."

"Nonsense!" Zheng Sen said angrily, "Speed ​​Car No. 1 is more than enough for 8 people."

"If you take the four of us, you have to throw away the tung oil, and Speed ​​4 can't fly very far."

"Shut up, you don't need to think about this, get in the car quickly!"

"Zheng Gejian, hurry up and go, Jiannu cavalry are chasing you."

"I order you to get in the car quickly, immediately!"

"Zheng admonished, please forgive us for not being able to take orders."

Speaking of this, the two soldiers and two scouts of Speed ​​2 pulled out the bayonet sleeve from their waists at the same time, unloaded the bullet pouch on their shoulders, and threw the 1-type rifle onto Speed ​​[-].

Throwing away their rifles, the four of them turned to face the Jiannu cavalry with bayonets in hand.

In the wilderness ahead, thousands of Jiannu cavalry are sweeping forward.

Long live Daming! The four roared angrily and charged the Jiannu cavalry.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Sen's eyes turned red immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ascension!"

The driver tried his best to turn on the furnace to the maximum, and Speed ​​1 quickly ascended.

Ascending to more than 50 steps, the Jiannu cavalry rushed to within a hundred steps. Zheng Sen led Xu Yinglong and another scout soldier to open fire at the same time, shooting and killing three Jiannu.

But that's all they can do.

The Jiannu cavalry came over like a flood, and soon overwhelmed the four Ming troops.

Immediately, the Jiannu cavalry surrounded the flying car No. 2 and circled the flying car.

Xu Yinglong said worriedly: "Admonished Zheng, we should burn Speed ​​2."

"It's okay, don't burn it." Zheng Sen said, "Let Jiannu build the speeding car as well."

Once the speeding car is shot down, there is no need to burn it. This is what the Holy Majesty specifically explained, and Zheng Sen also knows the intention of the Holy Majesty to do this, which is to consume Jiannu's financial and material resources.

……

"Is this the large Kongming lantern of the Ming army?"

Dorgon looked at the pile of silk cloth and a basket woven with rattan in front of him, and couldn't figure it out, how could such a crap thing be able to lift several people into the air?
However, there are also smart people among the ministers who built slaves.

"Master, Kongming lanterns are actually nothing unusual."

"It can rise because of the heat provided by tung oil."

"I can fly forward because of this wooden dragonfly."

"These wooden gears in the middle should be adjustable."

Ning Wan and I quickly figured out the whole story, and said: "I can also make it."

"Ning Qing, you can make it too?" Dorgon said happily when he heard the words, "Then hurry up and build ten for Daqing, no, just build a hundred Kongming lanterns directly, I want the sky to be filled with Daqing's Kongming lanterns."

Dorgon was inexplicably excited when he thought that the sky was densely covered with Kongming lanterns of the Qing Dynasty, and that these Kongming lanterns could rain down on the Ming army and throw tens of thousands of enemies on their heads.

However, after Ning Wan, I shook my head and continued, "But there is a first-class difficulty."

"What's the difficulty?" Dorgon said with great emotion, "Quickly tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

"It's the light gauze that's so rare." Ning Wan I pulled down the Kongming lampshade with all my strength, and said helplessly, "It must be the light gauze woven from the finest lake silk. It's not only light but also extremely tough."

"What's so difficult about this." Dorgon said, "I asked Shanxi merchants to buy it from Nanming."

Anyway, the Qing Dynasty has plenty of silver now, so are you afraid that you won't be able to buy enough high-quality Husi?
Immediately, Dorgon's eyes fell on the four bayonet bayonets spread out in a row.

Frowning, Dorgon turned his head and asked Tang Ruowang who had just arrived in Liaodong: "Tang Qing, can I really not equip every self-generating firecracker with a bayonet?"

Tang Ruowang said helplessly: "It can be done, but it takes time and effort."

"How much work and time will it take?" Dorgon said with a frown. "A self-generated firecracker with a bayonet can be directly used as a spear, which is much more useful than a self-generated firecracker with a bow and arrow or a saber."

Tang Ruowang said: "Grinding the outer diameter of the barrel of the self-generating gun and the inner diameter of the sleeve of the bayonet bayonet to be exactly the same, so that they can be interchanged, the man-hours required to manufacture each self-generating gun will be at least doubled. Our Bingzhan Bureau in the Qing Dynasty can produce 3000 self-made firecrackers a month, and if it is equipped with a bayonet, it can only produce 1500 at most."

"Is that so." Dorgon frowned more and more, "Is there no other way?"

Tang Ruowang said: "I'm afraid there is no other way to report to the emperor's father and the regent."
