Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 958 Air Bombing
Kutuzov gave an order, and immediately dozens of Royal Guards pointed their guns at the hot air balloon in the sky.

The two scouts of the Ming army on the hot air balloon were Zhang San and Li Si. They were carefully observing the deployment and location of the Tsarist Russian army, as well as the approximate strength of the troops at their location.

As they observed the records, it was the emperor's will. Zhu Youjian wanted to see how different the system map was from the real battlefield.

It's not that he doesn't believe in his own system. This is a time of war, and if he fails, a large number of expeditionary Ming army soldiers will be buried in other places.

In addition, there is another data that the system cannot prompt, that is, the number of troops in several specific positions of Tsarist Russia, as the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy and win every battle.

"Third brother, the Raksha ghosts seem to be trying to attack us, will our hot air balloon be hit by them, if it falls, it will shatter our bones..."

Li Si looked at the Tsarist Russian soldiers below who were about to raise their guns to shoot at them, and asked hurriedly.

Zhang San is a banner chief, he knows more than Li Si, so he laughed:
"Why, are you afraid of death?"

Li Si shook his head:
"How is it possible, do you still dare to be a Daming scout if you are afraid of death?"

Zhang San stretched out his head to look at the following and said:

"From the bottom, it seems that we are not very high from them, but from the top, it is at least 1000 meters. What kind of musket has such a powerful range? They came out of the bunker to watch after seeing the hot air balloon, which happened to be recorded for us. Opportunity, ignore them and keep working."

Li Si suddenly realized, and smiled naively:
"Oh, according to third brother, let's continue to work..."

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a burst of gunshots. Although Li Si said he was not afraid, he was still very nervous.

He wasn't afraid of death. He suddenly felt a little afraid of heights today. He had never felt this way when he was training in the capital. It should be caused by his nervousness before the battle.

"Whizzing……"

More than a dozen lead bullets were shot into the air in an instant, and Mao Zi looked up at the hot air balloon after shooting, waiting for the hot air balloon to explode and fall.

However, the hot air balloon was still safe and there was no sign of falling, but soon the lead bullets they shot from the sky fell from the sky rapidly, and there were densely packed Russian soldiers looking up at the sky and hoping for a miracle, and no one noticed the fall from the sky More than a dozen lead bullets fell on their faces accurately.

"Clap clap..."

Although the lead bullet is very light, it still pierced his face, and blood oozes instantly, which hurts very much...

"God……"

A dozen soldiers who were hit by the falling buckshot immediately covered their faces and shouted to God.

As Zhang San said, the hot air balloon was at a height of more than 1000 meters above the Tsarist Russian army, but the range of the flintlock gun could be fired at a maximum of more than 300 meters. How could they hit it.

Seeing that a soldier was injured, they thought that the Ming army above was attacking them, and immediately ran around.

A Russian captain seemed to think of something, and hurriedly shouted:

"Calm down, don't run around, it's caused by the falling bullets we fired up, I don't want to deliberately try the European style again..."

Seeing that his comrade was wounded by lead bullets and his face was covered in blood, how could other Tsarist Russian soldiers dare to shoot upwards? Isn't that courting death?

"How about a bow and arrow..."

There was a brave soldier who wanted to try bow and arrow, and was immediately slapped by the captain.

"Crack... bastard, wouldn't it be more dangerous for the arrows to fall, quickly bombard them with artillery..."

The captain hurriedly shut up when he said this, because other soldiers were looking at him strangely.

Lead bullets can hurt people. If you use artillery to attack, wouldn't it kill you once the huge solid bullets fall?
Seeing the disdainful eyes of his subordinates, the captain felt a little fever on his face, and he hurriedly changed his words to get back the scene:
"What are you looking at? The old man means, we can use the artillery from a high place to shoot obliquely!"

"Then try..."

Hearing what the captain said, the artillerymen immediately ran to the artillery position, ready to test the power of the artillery.

Since the balloon was almost directly above them, the artilleryman had a hard time raising the muzzle, but the angle was still far off.

If the artillery fires upwards, the muzzle must be erected. Not only is this difficult to do, but it is also an extremely dangerous thing. Once a cannon is ejected, the huge recoil of the artillery will definitely cause the artillery to roll over or fall to the ground.

If you want to hit a hot air balloon, the muzzle must be launched at a right angle, not only how can you hit the hot air balloon above your head?
They knew it was impossible, but they still wanted to shoot obliquely into the air. Even if they couldn't hit the monster above, at least they had to scare the monster to death.

"Rumble..."

A cannon sounded, and the solid bullets came out of the chamber instantly, but the solid bullets deviated too much from the target, almost not in the same direction, and the artillery was knocked over by the recoil with a roar.

"Give up! You won't be able to hit it at all. Hold up the artillery and return to your posts..."

The captain shook his head, and immediately ordered his subordinates to take their positions.

It didn't matter if they shot a cannon, but they scared the two Ming soldiers on the hot air balloon. They knew that the muskets would definitely not be able to hit the hot air balloon, and the Raksha ghost would definitely be able to reach it with the artillery.

But with the sound of a cannon, they didn't even see the shadow of the cannonball, but they saw a cannon of Raksha Ghost's own house overturned to the ground.

"Haha, the third brother is not afraid, and the artillery poses no threat to us. Now the Raksha Ghost artillery position is exposed."

Zhang San nodded happily. After knowing the location of the Raksha Ghost's artillery position, the Ming army's missiles and artillery can destroy the Raksha Ghost's artillery. At that time, the Ming army will almost no longer be threatened by the artillery.

"Well, mark the location. We can't always be attacked by them and not fight back. This is not the style of the Ming army. Go and feed them two grenades."

Li Daxi:

"Come on! Throwing grenades from the air will be fun!"

There are dozens of grenades in the basket of the hot air balloon, which Zhu Youjian asked them to use for self-defense.

As a result, Zhang San and Li Si were pissed off by the Raksha ghosts. After their artillery positions were exposed, they wanted to throw a few grenades on the Tsarist Russian artillery positions.

They controlled the hot air balloon and floated slowly to the Tsarist Russian artillery position. They were just about to throw grenades, but they heard a commotion below. When they raised their heads, they saw all the Raksha ghosts holding their muskets and screaming.

It turned out that when the Tsarist Russian soldiers saw the monster moving above their heads, they immediately panicked. Because they had the experience of shooting before, they wanted to shoot but dared not, and they all panicked.

Zhang San smiled:
"Raksha ghost, I just like that you don't like us and look like you can't do it. You white-skinned pigs are mad at you..."

"Throw two down..."

Before Zhang San finished speaking, Li Si threw down dozens of grenades one by one, still cursing.

"Blow up your group of white-skinned pigs..."

Zhang San became anxious when he saw it, and he yelled at Li Si:

"Hey, why don't you keep two grenades, what if you are in danger?"

Li Si smiled:
"Third Brother, what's the danger of us flying so high?"

Zhang San shook his head:
"You kid has become the originator of aerial bombing..."
