Chapter 338

After Wei Ran returned to the camp, he reported the intelligence of the enemy to Zhao Xuanqing.

Zhao Xuanqing didn't pay much attention to the military deployment of the Tibetan army drawn by Wei Ran. She knew that all the things investigated today might change tomorrow.

"My father plans to attack tomorrow. What do you think?" Zhao Xuanqing suddenly said.

Zhao Xuanqing has experienced his own boldness and strategy for the ugly subordinate general in front of him. Therefore, when it comes to military strategy, the general subconsciously will discuss with him.

It seems that if we can get his affirmative opinion, the war will be much smoother in the future. If he opposes, or neither opposes nor approves, then the next battle will most likely be either a defeat or a stalemate.

During the siege of Shanzhou City, a series of siege support, field decisive victory and many other aspects have proved the above situation many times. There are even superstitious people in the army. It is rumored that general Wei can predict good and bad luck. It is best to ask him for a good omen every time he goes to war.

Wei Ran naturally couldn't laugh or cry about this. He learned strategists' war strategies from Li Chengye, especially proficient in military skills and military situation; Familiar with military tactics, but rarely used; For the Yin and Yang of soldiers, they only know how to predict the time of a day, which is not necessarily very accurate, let alone divining good and bad luck.

"General Zhao, at this time, he attacked two fortresses in front of him. He didn't know the enemy's troop layout. It's difficult to tell the truth. He was afraid that under the strong attack, he would lose a lot."

Zhao Xuanqing shook his head and said, "it's hard to open the situation even though he is so deadlocked. What's more, how can we know the enemy's reality when our army attacks on the back and looks at the high from the low? Even if we look at all previous attacks on the Shibao City area, we can only break the enemy with heavy and elite attacks without casualties. "

Wei Ran thought of the story of Ge Shuhan's success. He would never want to see so many good men in the army sleeping here.

"At the end of the day, there will be a way to offset some of the enemy's advantages and enable our army to observe the enemy's troop deployment."

As soon as Zhao Xuanqing's eyes lit up, it was difficult to maintain his current serious look when he heard Wei Ran say so. He couldn't help smiling and said, "then you know that you have the most ghost ideas. Tell me what you can do?"

Wei Ran smiled and gestured with his hand, "general, do you know Kong Mingdeng?"

……

On the same day, Zhao Xuanqing went to find Zhao Hui, the Hexi Festival envoy, persuaded him to postpone the siege for three days, and told him the method Wei Ran told her.

In fact, even so, Zhao Xuanqing still has doubts, not to mention Zhao Hui himself.

Zhao Hui, a Jiedu envoy, was not born in the Jiangmen family like other Jiedu envoys. When he joined the army at the age of 16, he really achieved his present position from one of the most ordinary soldiers.

The battlefield not only trained his superb martial arts, keen battlefield insight and foresight ability to detect crises, but also made him particularly self-centered and less likely to trust others.

Therefore, there is little hope for the method proposed by Wei Ran.

If he had not known the battle of kuozhou, he would have made great contributions to his wisdom and wisdom, and his leading combat ability was also very outstanding, otherwise he would never have agreed. Of course, part of the reason is to look at their daughter's face.

After Wei Ran told Zhao Xuanqing the method, he went to the craftsman in the rear and found Moheng.

"Old man, I have something here. I need you to lead someone to help make it."

Moheng was surprised to see Wei Ran in a hurry, because Wei Ran should be on the front line at this time, where the battle with the Tubo army was the most intense.

"What's the matter with general Wei? What's wrong with the siege equipment we built during this time? "

"No, sir, do you know Kong Mingdeng?"

"General Wei joked. Who hasn't seen Kong Mingdeng?"

"I mean the very huge one that can take people up to the sky."

Moheng's mouth was huge and couldn't close for a long time. The craftsmen of Mingyue Township who made siege equipment with him also had such a dull expression.

"Why, I'm not sure I can do it?"

"General, how on earth is your head long? Oh, and please forgive me for my incoherent words. Although Kongming lantern can take off, if you want to fly with people, it not only needs to be made very huge, but also how to solve the problem of materials?

Because the Kongming lamp is small, you can use paper, but if you use paper to carry people, it will fly high. Once it breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

In the end, it is the thinking of old craftsmen and engineers. After a little thinking, we can say the most critical place.

Wei Ran thought, "first of all, the material should be strong, light and airless. I think it might as well be like this. First, use the finely woven linen and paste paper on the outside to make a closed ball, with holes at the bottom like a Kongming lamp. Then light the fire under the opening and hang the basket. You might as well try it first. "

Moheng pondered Wei Ran's method. There was no precedent, but it seemed very reliable. Craftsmen are a group of people with the strongest hands-on ability and execution ability. Wei Ran's request is not only his personal request, but also a military order.

So all the people in Mingyue Township started to work together. First, they found the fine linen woven. This kind of linen is not uncommon. Therefore, in less than half a day, they looked for a complete set and sewed it up one by one by the women in the village with exquisite workmanship with reference to the drawings drawn by Moheng.

Young children like Mo Geng went to look for vines and woven frame connection structures. The reason why rattan is used is that rattan is light and strong, which can minimize the overall weight of creation.

Then Moheng personally made precision devices such as ignition blowtorch. Such devices should be safe, reliable, not easy to extinguish, and can also adjust the size of the flame. Naturally, they can only be completed by an old craftsman like him.

Moreover, the scheme discussed by Moheng and Wei Ran is to make five balloons at the same time and use different fuels and fabrics to verify the final effect.

It's said that such a new thing can carry people to heaven. I don't know who spread it in the army. Most people think Wei Ran's idea is whimsical and can't succeed at all.

How mysterious and noble is the existence of heaven. How can people ascend to heaven with the help of foreign objects at will?

But there are still some people who are curious. When they are free, they go outside the craftsman camp to watch the busy people in Mingyue Township, but they can't see why.

The ordinary military Han may just feel curious, but it has another meaning for Wulin experts such as Bu Lanshan and Wu Xinfei. They practice Qi and martial arts. Only when they practice to the level close to the congenital polar environment can they achieve short-term levitation in the air.

For real flying, even if you control the aura of heaven and earth at will, you can only make yourself lighter and more flexible. When you use lightness skills, you can float for a longer distance and your movements can become more unpredictable. But it is impossible to roam the void at will.

Therefore, Wei Ran's creativity arising from Kong Mingdeng is not just fresh and curious, but really hopes that he can do it so that they can also have the opportunity to experience the feeling of flying.

So these days, Wu Xinfei, bu Lanshan and even their master will come to check their progress if they have nothing to do.

Zhao Xuanqing, who strongly supports Wei Ran, will take time to see as long as he is busy with military affairs. Such a move has made the whole army pay attention to the progress of the craftsman camp. Whether it succeeds or fails, it is a great attempt.

At the end of the three-day period, five newly assembled hot-air balloons were parked outside the barracks.
