Chapter 148 Exploring the Air
General Qin Qiong quickly arranged the combat tasks. The three groups of troops sent were all elites. Because Li Xiang only had more than 3,000 troops, he also allocated three of Cheng Yaojin's cavalry to him. Qian, if it were someone else, maybe Cheng Yaojin would not be willing, but Li Xiang is half of his ally and has various cooperations in Chang'an City. If Cheng Yaojin is not willing to do this, then Cheng Yaojin It's also too stingy.
"Boy, these guys are my old brothers who have been with me for a long time. Please take more care of them on the road. This is the first time I have sent my elite troops to others."
Before going out for the expedition, Cheng Yaojin still felt a little uncomfortable. Although these armies belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin also strictly prohibited them from recruiting Shantou, it was impossible without Shantou in the army. If Li Xiang captured Cheng Yaojin at once, Jin's people were all lost, and Cheng Yaojin was really heartbroken.
"Don't worry, General. Although it's our first time to fight, we're sure we won't suffer any losses on the battlefield. You guys will sneak back with me and you'll have a lot of credit by then. Just prepare a thank you banquet."
Li Xiang cheerfully patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder and said, looking like he was neither big nor small. If Cheng Yaojin had not done this, he would have done this. If he had to follow the rules of etiquette when talking to Li Xiang, he would probably have to kill this guy. So exhausted.
"These people have been with me for a long time, and some of them are indeed in time for promotion. I hope that I can get some credit from you this time, so that they can have a good death."
Looking at some older soldiers in the distance, Cheng Yaojin was filled with emotion. There were only a small number of professional soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and most of them were government soldiers. At this age, if he has not achieved any merit, They can only go home and farm. Cheng Yaojin doesn't want these people to go back to their hometown to farm in despair. After all, they are his old brothers who have been with him all his life.
"The general will stay here until the last general has left and come back."
The other two groups were already on their way, so Li Xiang stopped wasting time here. After saying a few words to Cheng Yaojin, he immediately got on his horse. Cheng Yaojin had nothing to say and was reluctant to watch. Three thousand of his elite men set off with Li Xiang.
General Qin Qiong no longer had time to say goodbye. After the nearly 20,000 elites left, although he still had tens of thousands of troops, most of them came to make up the numbers. If Tuyuhun's elites really came to attack, it would be so big There is really going to be a war on the Tang border.
Toot…
The system will give you an expedition gift package, unlock a sounding balloon, and give you one thousand points.
When Li Xiang just left the area of Liangzhou City, he suddenly heard the system prompt sound. There were many system prompt sounds during this period, but most of them were of no use. When Li Xiang heard this sound, I was immediately interested.
"What is this?"
"Oh my God, what the hell is this?"
Li Xiangtai wanted to know what a sounding balloon looked like, so he exchanged it for one. Who knew that this thing suddenly rose to an altitude of tens of meters.
Blind for nothing!
Li Xiang knew that this thing was a hot air balloon and should be able to take one person up there, but unfortunately he forgot to tie the rope just now, so the balloon could only float deep into the grassland with the wind.
One thousand points is one thousand dollars, just gone?
Li Xiang looked at the hot air balloon that flew away with some speechlessness. In this day and age, it is not so easy to stop it.
Li Xiang immediately began to make arrangements for his people and asked them to gather all the ropes. The hot air balloon must be tied up after it comes out later. If it flies again, I won't be able to do that. A thousand more points.
When the second balloon was redeemed, Li Xiang's men quickly grabbed the hot air balloon, and then quickly tied the rope and more than a dozen people pulled the hot air balloon to prevent the hot air balloon from flying again.
"Whoever has better eyesight and a lighter body should stand up immediately and tie the other end of the rope to the carriage, especially the heavier carriage."
Li Xiang immediately gave orders to his men. The lift of the hot air balloon is relatively small. After being tied to the carriage, there is basically no need to worry about running away. At most, it can only lift a lighter person to the sky.
It's not easy to find fat people in this era. After all, everyone's life is not good, but if you want to find some thin people, it's really easy. I quickly found a little man who is 1.5 meters tall. , and then tied a rope to him, and everyone slowly began to loosen the rope. This kid also reached a few meters in the air for the first time, screaming excitedly.
"You idiot, keep your body as straight as possible to the rope and don't open your mouth in the sky. You will have to raise it higher later to see clearly the flag below."
After hearing Li Xiang's curse, this guy quickly closed his mouth. After a while, he rose to tens of meters in the air, and the wind above was stronger. If this guy kept opening his mouth, It is estimated that before he could find out any information, he would probably be dead first.
Li Xiang remembered reading a document before. If you stand 1.8 meters high on the ground and there are no obstructions around you, you can see about four kilometers around you. But if you rise to 20 meters, you will immediately You can see more than 20 kilometers around you, provided your eyes are strong enough.
At this moment, the person has risen to a height of thirty meters, and it is already very difficult for the people below to pull him. It seems that the wind in the high altitude is not small.
At this moment, the people above can no longer hear the loud shouts, and they can only communicate through flags.
Today's weather conditions are good. The sky is cloudless. The boy in the sky can see more than 30 kilometers around. This is much better than before. Even if you send out scouts, it will not be possible. The situation of thirty kilometers can be known in a short time.
"There is a tribe on the left, about twenty-five miles away."
Li San looked at the brother in the sky carefully. When he sent the news back, Li San immediately reported to Li Xiang.
"The tribe is medium in size, about the size of a palm..."
Li San continued to report somewhat depressedly. Others did not know the size of the tribe. Li Xiang made a calculation in his mind. At an altitude of 30 meters, it was about the size of a palm. It was estimated that the size of the tribe would be around two to three thousand people. It’s not a small tribe, but we can still win it. The first goal is here...
