Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 464 Precise Preparations
"How high can you fly?"

Hearing what the young master said, someone asked curiously.

Li Zhao thought for a while, and said casually, "It should reach hundreds of feet." In his previous life, he didn't do much research on hot air balloons, but he had heard about approximate numbers. generalizable.

This is just the number he said to Shaoli, but everyone was shocked.

Flying hundreds of feet in the sky is simply too appalling, even big birds can't fly that high.

But the scenes that followed confirmed that claim.

I saw that the hot air balloon carrying Wuquan flew higher and higher, and finally turned into a black dot, moving forward slowly, and finally disappeared.

This height should be hundreds of feet.

"It's true, what the young master brought out is so amazing."

Someone couldn't help butting up.

Li Zhao just smiled lightly and said, "Everyone has seen it. This is a hot air balloon. There is a button on the hot air machine. As long as you control the firepower, the hot air balloon can go up and down."

He also told Wuquan how to control the lifting just now.

"Do you think it is possible to fight in the air with this thing?"

Looking at the crowd, someone immediately realized it later, and suddenly realized: "Young master said that we should carry a hot air balloon in the air and drop a big killer at the Qin army?"

The big killer he was talking about was naturally a hand grenade. It must be known that some people came from Chang'an Township and had thrown hand grenades before.

Li Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, if the grenade falls in the air and lands in the Qin army, what do you think will happen?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, what would happen to the Qin army if a grenade was dropped on the top of the Qin army?They don't have to think about it and know the result.

"The Qin army will definitely suffer heavy losses. Of course, they will also take counterattacks, but what if the flying altitude is raised to hundreds of feet?"

Everyone was ecstatic, and when they rose to hundreds of feet, the weapons of the Qin army could not reach them, and they could still throw grenades. Isn't this a unilateral massacre?
As for the Qin army's strong crossbow, Wuquan once told them that the range of the stronger Qin Nu is only six hundred steps, about two hundred feet. As long as the flying height exceeds two hundred feet, the Qin army will have nothing to do with them.

What's more, hot air balloons can fly higher.

"Young master, I will not disappoint you, and I vow to kill every piece of Qin's army."

The confidence of a hundred people climbed to the peak, and suddenly a strong morale rose, and that momentum was unmatched even by thousands of troops.

"Okay, very good, now you are familiar with hot air balloons, and I will order people to send grenades in the near future, so you are ready to fight! As long as the Qin army dares to attack me at Shanglinyuan, let them come and go."

Up to now, Li Zhao no longer cared about the life and death of Qin Jun, even if some of them were his comrades who had fought against him.

"You must not disappoint the young master."

Afterwards, Li Zhao explained the operation method of the hot air balloon to everyone again, and demonstrated it for them in person.

The operation of the hot air machine is not difficult. They understood it within a quarter of an hour and began to operate it by themselves. Some ascended crookedly, while others worked steadily and slowly, and tried to test the capacity of the machine. Weight, this weight affects neither Ascension nor the number of grenades.

This is the key issue. Li Zhao also emphasized on it just now, and told them to pay attention to the direction of the wind, otherwise they wouldn't know where they were going.

In general, the wind direction determines the flight direction of the hot air balloon, but it can also be controlled.

He had a rough understanding of some meteorological knowledge in his previous life. The air in the sky is layered, and the wind direction is different in different layers. It is not necessarily the south wind, it may be the north wind.

With such knowledge, it is not difficult to control the flight direction of the hot air balloon. Ascending and descending will change the flight direction. For this, I believe these hundred people will feel it after ascending to the sky.

But the problem is that I don't know how long it will take to fly in the sky. If there is no firepower in the middle, it will be a big problem, so Li Zhao also bought some fuel from the department store for emergencies.

When everyone was messing around, they faintly saw the black dot come back. Naturally, it was Wuquan. He disappeared for a while, but he was able to fumble back. He really deserves to be someone who has marched before.

Of course, if Li Zhao hadn't given him some flying knowledge in advance, I'm afraid he might not be able to come back, and he might not know where he flew.

However, even with the black spot in sight, the no-punch took a long time and circled around to land on the proving ground.

This back and forth made him both excited and a little scared.

Flying too high made him at a loss. Fortunately, he had experimented in advance so that he could pass on his experience to hundreds of people, so that he would not be inaccurate at the time of the battle and affect the battle situation.

There is no need for Li Zhao to worry about things here. He has more important things to do, and that is grenades.

The grenade is detonated by a lead wire, and the length of the lead wire determines the explosion time. At present, the lead wire is determined according to the throwing distance on the ground, which is not suitable for air throwing.

He had to ask Ah Chao to calculate the length of the lead wire before it could be thrown hundreds of feet high and landed on the Qin army to explode. He also had to calculate the influence of wind speed and direction on the grenade, so that he could make the most accurate lead wire. .

However, when he was about to leave, Wuquan brought bad news. He saw in the air that the Qin army had surrounded Shanglinyuan. It was estimated that it was three miles away, and he could still see many artillery pieces in the haze. It is estimated that there are as many as thousands.

"Thousands?"

Li Zhao was not surprised that the Qin army had already surrounded Shanglinyuan, but what was surprising was that they still had thousands of cannons. You must know that Zhang Han also led the prisoner army to Hangu Pass, and there must be a lot of cannons with him. At this moment, there are still thousands of cannons, so he can't guess how many cannons Xiang Gong sent.

If there were more, it would be difficult to deal with. He didn't want to give all his savings over the years to the department store just to deal with Mr. Xiang.

I don't even want to go back to before liberation overnight.

"I see, you should let everyone get familiar with the hot air balloon as soon as possible, and wait for my order."

Li Zhao's face became serious, and Wuquan knew that the young master might think of something bad, so he immediately agreed, and he didn't dare to neglect to urge everyone to get familiar with the hot air balloon.

Li Zhao didn't go back to Li's mansion, but searched for A Chao. He wanted A Chao to modify the lead wire of the grenade so that it could not only prevent the wind but also control the throwing distance.

"Don't worry, young master, Ah Chao will not let you down."

With the development of Shanglinyuan Academy, there have been many mathematical talents. It is not difficult to calculate these things, and the craftsmen under Ah Chao are so capable, it should not be difficult for them.

"Be quick, it must be completed within three days."

Three days also seemed urgent. Qin Jun didn't know when to launch an attack. If he couldn't carry out air combat within three days, he was afraid that Shanglinyuan would suffer losses.

"no problem!"

"Also, build five more sniper rifles and bring them back in three days."

The ten sniper rifles were taken away by the snipers trained by Wuquan. The situation is critical now, so I have to make some more. This is the last precaution. If Shanglinyuan appears to be in decline, the beheading operation will come in handy.

Ah Chao made a vow, and left soon.

Li Zhao was not idle either. After patrolling the city wall for a while, he walked towards the gathering place of the thousand elites.

He will make reasonable arrangements for the remaining [-] elites.
